Brought to Attention.

The superintendent of the bathing beach,
W. X. Stevens, has written to the District
Commissioners strongly commencing the
action of Policeman c. H. Banagan, de-
tailed temporarily for duty at the bathing
beach last Monday. On that day one of

came necessary to send the life guards to
her assistance, and while they were SWIM
ming to the point where the woman was
struggling in the water Policeman Banagan
jumped into the water, with his uniform on
ana with few strokes reached a boat
which a boy had roWed a short distance
from the shore, but which he could not
manage.
Rowing quickly to the place where the
life guards were holding the woman's head
above water, the policeman pulled her into
the boat and brought her ashore Superin-
tendent Stevens says the guards would
man ashore but that the policeman's act
greatly expedited her rescue

ALLEGED SEAL RooKERY.
The Discovery by Capt. Mcclellan Dis
credited

The recent reported discovery by the cap
tain of the revenue cutter Manning OF
new seal rookery near Aleutian Islands has
been brought to the attention Of the State
Department. where it has been Immediately
investigated. The report, II accurate,
would be of the greatest Importance for it
will go far toward sustaining the conten-
tion of the Canadian seal fishers that there
has not really been any diminution of fur
seal in Alaskan waters; that there are as
many fur seal as ever in the open sea, and
that what has happened has simply been an
abandonment of the fur seals by their old
rookeries, the Pribiloff Islands.
The Investigations of Henry W. Elliott,
the fur seal expert of the government for
many years. has led the officials of the
State Department to the conclusion that
the report of the captain of the Manning
is erroneous. The place where these seals
were reported to have been found was on
BOidyer Island, more than COD miles dis
tant from the Pribiioff Islands. Mr.. Ell
HOtt's conclusion is that what Captain Nc
Lelan of the Manning actually saw was
number of young sea lions, which he had
already known to frequent Boldyer Island
and vicinity. and are easily mistaken for
seals. But If fur seals were actually seen
by the Mannings people, then Mr.. Elicit
reports they must surely be stragglers, not
from the distant Pribiloff Islands, but from
the Russian nerd; most ukely from copper
Island of the Commander group, which is
about only 200 miles distant, and is ap-
preached as close as so to 100 miles by the
Russian herd on their leaving and entering
the Bering sea. Mr.. Elliott further firds
that whereas struggling bands of young
male fur seal have been fond as far dis
tant from Alaska as San Francisco, and on
Middleton Island, in the north Pacific ocean,
300 miles west Of Copper river mouth, these
seal, the Pribioff seals, were attracted to
those UldCSS by the lions, which were
breeding there at the time and, no sign of
a breeding rookery of Alaskan fur seals
away from the Pribiloff Islands has ever
been discovered.

FRENCH SAILOR RELEASED.
Judge de Haven Rules on Article in
Treaty.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2S.-Francois
Leberne a former seaman of the French
bark Biarritz. which recently sailed hence
for France, has been released from the Gus
tody into which he was ordered by the
French consul general, but has been imme-
diately rearrested, this time on a formal
charge, which puts him in the hands of
the United States authorities
United States District Judge De Haven
ruled that the treaty under which Leberne
was imprisoned for an offense committed
on shipboard, by order of the French con-
sui general, Is valid, but directed the pris-
oner's discharge on the ground that the
clause of the treaty authorizing the arrest
was operative only during the vessels stay
i'll the port. The Biarritz having sailed,
Leberne is no. longer a member of her
crew, and therefore not amenable to the
treaty. 4--' '''

day received telegram from Senator Raw
Inns of Utah. reporting that 6,000 Indians on
the Navajo reservation, in the southern
part of his state. are starving, and request
ing that assistance be dispatched them.
While the officials here have no knowledge
that such large number of Indians are
in want. it is known that there are hun
dreds in a deplorable condition and that the
circumstances warrant immediate action by

from the Secretary Of the Interior to ex-
pend $4,000 with which to purchase sub
slstence supplies to relieve the starving
Indians. Owing to the exigency of the case

STATEMENT BY SHAW
RUMORS NOT ACCURATE AS TO
POSSIBLE sTRINGENCY.
Secretary of Treasury Wishes Country
to Be Prepared-No Infa-
ton Proposed.

In view of rumors, not entirely accurate,
as to Secretary Shaw's plans for relieving
the money market in the event of posi-
BILE stringency, the Secretary, who Is In
New York, today authorized Assistant Sec
retary Allies to make the following state
ment:
THE Secretary recently invited some Of
the larger national banks in the principal
cities to order additional amounts of cir
culating notes to be printed. National
banks are entitled to issue circulation to
the full amount of their capital. The ag-
gregate capital of national banks is $780,,
100000 but the banks have outstanding
only s36S, ,O00, 900 of circulation.
THE Secretary has hoped to introduce an
element of elasticity into the present sys-
tenn. His suggestions to the various banks
in the larger cities that they make prepa-
ration for additional circulation have met
with every favorable response. 1t Is not
his intention that they should issue this
additional circulation at all events, but
only in case Of actual necessity and emer-

No Imitation Proposed.

He does not propose to initiate the cur
rency in any sense, but to be prepared to
meet the actual currency demand, should
one arise With this in view those banks
which have made arrangements to deposit
United States bonds as security for such
additional circulation have sent in their
orders and the Secretary has had all
branches Of the treasury service busily en-
gagged in expediting the preparation Of the
notes pending a possible emergency.
All this work of preparation does not in
diCate that the Secretary will expect the
banks to issue additional notes except in
response to real necessity. The movement
is purely prudential and precautionary, and
intended to relieve any possible currency
famine. 1t does not conflict at all with any
of the various other methods which have
been heretofore employed by the depart
ment in relieving the money market

Republican by Good Majority.

The state ticket nominated by the re-
publicans will be elected by anywhere from
lo.ooo to 25,o00 plurality. The amount of
the majority will depend upon the activity
ana interest taken by the republicans
There seems to be perfect accord among
the republicans, while the democrats are
badly divided. The free silver and gold
standard factions in the democratic party
can never unite. There is more intensity
In their dislike of each other than there is
In their opposition to the republican party
The only congressional district in which
there is any doubt about the result is the
first, the district represented by Mr. Hem
enway. He is serving his fourth term in
Congress, and is the only man in the his
tory of the district that ever represented
1t more than two terms. Hemenway is one
of the best politicians in the state He
has attained a position in Congress that
might excite the envy of any one. He is
great friend of the improvement Of the
Ohio river, and nothing more important
can be done for his district

Hemenway's Fight.

"Hemenway's progress and development

the good judgment of continuing a man in
Congress when he makes a success. With
out reference TO his politics. but purely from
the point of view of the welfare of his own
district, no more serious mistake could be
made than by the election Of his opponent.
The legislature consists of one hundred
and fifty members. fifty in the senate and
one hundred in the house. Twenty-Five of
the senators are hold-Overs, having been
elected two years ago and serving for four
years. Nineteen of these are republicans
and six democrats. OF the twenty-five SEN
ators to be chosen, the republicans VIII
elect about fifteen. The republicans will
elect from fifty-five TO sixty members of
the house of representatives.
Senator Fairbanks has no opposition
and will be re-elected.'

Ready to Go to Work.

Mir. John Henderson informs THE OASIS that the Gran Provedora de Cobre Mining Company is about to begin work on it's fine copper properties near La Calera, in the Altar district, which were last week visited by the editor.
 The properties mentioned make splendid showing, and will doubt less prove of great and lasting value. They embrace an immense ledge, bearing high grade copper ores, which cuts through lime forma- tion for a long distance. A num- Der of openings into the ledge have shown large bodies of high grade copper ores. It is the intention of the company to develop these ore bodies upon an extensive scale and erect a colossal reduction plant for treatment of the ores.
 Of the Gran Provedora de Cobre Company MT. John Henderson, of Nogales, Is president; w. C. Foster, of Phoenix, is secretary, and w. k. Deity, of Phoenix, is general man. ager. They constitute a strong management and have associated with them in the enterprise some of the strongest financial men in Arizona and Sonora.
 MT. Henderson was the original locator of the property, and has worked long and assiduously to bring 1t out. His efforts have been crowned with success, and the en- terprise at which he is the head will be soon one of the most import ant and profitable in Sonora. While at La Calera last week TIE OASIS editor gave the property careful examination, and was greatly impressed with the show ing made.
