OLD CHURCH AT BATUC.
q Remarkably Fine Edifice Built By the Spaniards Couple of Gen.

Upon this page of THE OASIS there is this week presented two fine half tone engravings of the old Spanish h church at Batuc, in the Batuco valley, upon the Moctezuma river, about two leagues above its con huence with the Yaqui. The town is near the extreme southeast corner of the tires district.
 The exact date of the structure was unknown to those who showed THE OASIS editor over the building at the time of his visit month ago, and the priest who could have given the desired information was upon that day out of town.

 The building is in most excel lent state of preservation, and while not so large as some other churches in Sonora coming down from the time of the Spanish occu- patton, it was much more substan- tially constructed, and finished with more care and architectural taste.

 Between the first and second arches upon each side of the church are small altars.
 There are also small altars upon each side in the front spaces be- tween the first arch and the front wall of the nave. Upon the altar at the left, with the observer facing the principal altar, there stands life-sized effigy of the Man of Sor- rows, supported on one side by a smaller sized figure which is a replica of the larger one, and upon the other by similarly sized figure of the Virgin. To the right and in front of the altar is a life sized fig nre of the crucihxion.

Even the old soldiers, of whom there are sev- eral are obliged to take the time and go to the expense of a journey to Naco or Bisbee in order to make the necessary affldavits to enable them to draw the small pen sions which become due them from time to time.
 With the rapidly increasing num- Der of United States citizens in the district, and the volume and im- portance of the business transacted, the presence of an official repre- sentative of the United States is an absolute necessity. - Bisbee Re- view.

Fossil Crock Power Plant.

Mrs. l. E. Tut of Los Angeles ar- rived in the city yesterday morning from Prescott and the northern part of the territory. Mrs. Tut is engaged in the construction of an electric power plant on Fossil creek for the purpose of supplying electric power and light to Prescott, Jerome and the Poland mine. This enterprise has been described by the Republican at different times. In the latest description of 1t, in letter sent from Prescott, typographical error appeared, stating that it was ex- pected that 1000 horse power would be developed. It has already been shown that there is sufficient water at the point where the plant is to be estab- lished to furnish from 4,0OO to 4,500 horse power. It will take more than 1000 horse power to supply the Poland mine, and as much more for Prescott. Mrs. Tut is on her way to Globe, from which point she will go to Fossil creek. She is accompanied by one of her engi- neers. She has been extensively en- gagged in the construction of electric light plants in Southern California. She owned plants at Redondo, Long Beach and Terminal Island. .-Repub- lican.
