 The municipal authorities of Mo- gales, Sonora, have purchased from MT. Camou land adjoining the cemetery, and will incorporate the same in the pantheon" by build ing substantial wall and using the new ground for burial purposes. This has been necessitated by the fact that the space available in the old cemetery had been all taken.
 Monday THE OASIS received a call from Judge $. B. Hostetter, of Chicago, president of the Belene Copper Mining Company, who stopped in Nogales returning to his Illinois home from a visit to the property at Copete, and to Ures. The gentleman reported a new strike of rich ore in one of the mines of the company.
 The Arizona < Sonora Manufac- turing Company are preparing drawings and patterns from which to manufacture 10x12 double reel hoisting engines with capacity for sinking 200 feet, and will turn them out as soon as expert me- chanics and fine machinery can do the work, and will keep them in stock at the house of their sales agents-Roy X Titcomb. The first lot of single reel hoists-the first ever made in Arizona-are giving great satisfaction.

GOOD DAY FOR BOOXIES
AS NO FAVOR!TES WON
Looked From the Stands as if Some Of
the Races Were Fixed by the
Jockeys, as Pikers All Won.

Yesterday at the Butte track was
good day for the bookies as none of the
hrst-choice favorites were able to win.
The last race was the unexpected feature
OF c's day, and when Madam Bishop a
IL Is shot crossed the wire first, there
were those who were willing to wager
that the race was not ION the square,"
Madam Bishop went to the post with
6lendenning, to and to 2; Aurora

Limb OF the Law, 40 to L. Glendenning
was the strong particular favorite and all
eyes were on him. The fact that Limb of
the Law, also a bum locker" came in
for second place ahead of Glendenning
by good length, seemed to lend addi-
tional evidence that the whole race was
a dished up affair by the jockeys
The first event was won by Sally Green.

makeup in his team as he left wit--but
he's coming back, according to present in
dications. in the same schedule position in
the position in the standing of the clubs
that he left with.
There will be some familiar faces missing
out of the diamond when the sluggers
lineup again and there will be several
changes in the positions by the time the
team settles down for another hcart-break-
ing series OF home victories.
Blu with all this. the majority OF the
men selected by McCloskey have made
good and when the rousing welcome
prepared is accorded the Mary Maclanes

many players who will recognize their in

INTEREST is INCREASING
IN DRIVING CLUB CIRCLES
Arrival in Butte OF "Shoestrne," the Fast
PAGER from Great Falls, Has Caused
Quite Stir.

There will be meeting of the Gentle
mems Driving club tonight, when new
business connected with the future racing
in Butte will be discussed.
Interest in the driving club races is in
creasing, and there is every prospect that
within the next few weeks there will be
matches made which will eclipse anything
yet talked of.
Since the last spirited contests at the
club races there has been considerable talk
of match races and it is probable that
several will be pulled off soon.
Chief Reynolds and Stone. the owner of
Wakefield, are talking of match with
Thornburg, the chiefs fast and fat bay
mare, and arrangements are being made
for a match between Wakefield and Gyp at
Anaconda.
The Anaconda horsemcn are arranging
for a meeting July 81 and it may be that
the two fast ones will be together at that
time.
lust now the local rcinsmcn are stirred
up over the arrival in Butte of fast PAGER
from Great Falls. For several days the
horse was mystery until !. became known
that his owners had brought over 81 900
in cold, hard, Great Falls coin to wager
that nothing in this neck OF the woods
could catch him.
1t developed today that the horse was
Shoestring, whose hackers have been talk
ing all the way from Great Falls for
months about what the PAGER could do
SO far there has been no one among the
local owners OF sidewheelers willing to take
the other end OF the thousand offered

shoot off Samways won second place with
3os and McCalum was third
The match was concluded under the
most trying conditions. The wind in
creased to steady gale, carrying away
targets and blowing scoring board and
umbrellas about the range.
In the final stage of the kings prize
Mitchell McRobbie and Rennie, of the
Canadians, secured the National Rifle
association badge. Mitchell won prize
of 9Ia and McRobbie and Rennie each
won IS prize, with respective scores

FIERCE SLUGGING MATCH
WAS GAME AT SPOKANE
Roach Pounded Out Of Box in the
Seventh-Gay Substituted
HOW THEY STAND.
Pacific Northwest League.

Spokane. July 3o.-lt was a veriable
slugging match between the Spokane team
and the Butte aggregation yesterday. There
was superabundance OF features in the
way OF errors, sloppy ball playing and ter
riiic pounding, so much OF il in fact that
the regularity with which the runners
crossed the plate made the game tiresom0
TO say the least. But for the poor fielding
OF the local inheld the Butte score would
probably not have showed more than halt
dozen runs 10 the good. Mulane was a
triile off at critical stages Of the game
also and allowed men TO walk when the
bases were full.
Butte substituted Gay and McDonougi
for Roach and /earfoss in the seventh bun
it was too late in the game to turn til,
tide. The visitors pounded Meaane n
times so hard that It frequently looked
Ike victory for them. The rule held
good both ways, however. and when the
home team came to the bat their stick work
was equal to the task and they made the
gap bigger than ever. Five runs in the
eighth and three in the last innings by
the Butte players makes the score look a
little more respectable and gives il some
thing OF the appearance OF close game.
The home team started the ruu-gctting
in the first inning shutting out the visitors.
No more runs were made until the third
inning when Mullane opened with single.
Howells sacrificed and Kelly and Retz each
got two-baeger. Kelly scored on a wild
pitch and Marshall's muh OF fly al
lowed Reitz to cross the plate. McHale
singled. stole second, and scored OH a
hit by Ward
The features OF the game in the way
OF long drives were the three-timcrs se-
cured by l'rary, Mclaughlin, Donahue and
Reitz. The sixth inning was marked by
considerable slugeing on the part of Spo-
kane, Kelly pounding for three bags and
Rcitz for two. Donahue patterned after
Kelly; the fever seemed to be catching
when II came 10 knocking out long ones.
and Spokane counted up four more to the
list OF talics.
The seventh was also rcpletc with Incl
dents, interesting and otherwise. A
double play by Kane unassistcd was the
bright spot Kelly knocked fly to Kane
and the plucky shortstop put out Mullanci
while Mclaughlin scored
All things summed up in a bunch the
best that can said Of the game is that it
will go down simply as slugging match
and not i'll any way as model exhibition
of ball playing. The score:

the league, both in games won and in
batting.
Helena Is Making Good.
For a good long while it looked as il
Flannery wasn't going to make good, but
Helena is out of the dumps now and those
princely rooters over in the capital are en-
titled to all the noise they can make after
the way they stood by their team during a
losing series.
For a time the betting was to against
Helena reaching a place with Butte.
Strange as it may seem there are at pres
ent plenty OF baseball lfans in Butte willing
to bet that Helena will lead Butte at the
close of the present series.
1t is hardly a safe bet but it's certainly
up to McCloskey to play ball from this time
on.
The sluggers leave Spokane next Sun-
day night and will be in Helena for the
opening game next Tuesday. The follow
ing week Helena will lagan come to Butte,
and il is this doubling up for two weeks
which makes it good betting either way.
OF course, we are all pulling for the
home team with the feeling that the sis
ter city os Helena should be next after our
own Marys.

Cincinnati Club Sold.

Negotiations have been closed for the
sale of the Cincinnati Reds National

Mayor Fleischman and other local men.
President John 7. Brush, who has had
the club for many years has been in Gin
cinnat comforting with his secretary, Mr..
N Ashley Lloyd, and it is understood that
it has been agreed to sell the club to the
above mentioned fans for the considera-
tion Of $Iso,ooo. Early in the present
season a number of local men headed by
Judge Howard Ferris made an offer for
the club which was then refused. Gin
cinnatans generally are pleased with the
present arrangement as it is thought that
the team will do much better under
local management than otherwise.

Portland, Ore, July 3o.-rhe greatest
game seen in Portland during the present
season was played yesterday afternoon
with the Helena team. Up to the ninth

bringing single man over the rubber

Says Butte Surpassed His Expectations

For several days past there has been =
s'ory gong the rounds to the effect that
!uase Joseph Murphy, the popular presid-
ing Judge at the race track, and Starter
MI lhlnn had given notice to the Mon
tana Jockey club of their Intention to leave
inc track before the meeting closed.
FOR some reason the story has been
'hdustriously circulated and has occasioned
considerable annoyance both to Judge
Murphy and Mr.. Chinn as well as to tho
club directors and officials.
The Inter Mountain is able to state posi-
lively that there is no truth in the re.
ports and further is authorized to make
the statement that both officials will re-
main with the association until the meet
ing closes.
Judge Murphy Makes Statement.
You can say for me" said Judge Mur-
ply to reporter for the Inter Mountain
today, that there is not bit of truth
in the rumors. | have never been better
treated in my life, either by the associ-
alton, the press or the public.
Il have never attended meeting where
there have been so many close decisions

first man to come to me with a reason-
able objection. There hasn't BEEN to
my knowledge, single objection entered
at the judges stand by the public and
it is a remarkable exhibition of the fair
