Democrats Carry Santa Cruz County By a Re-
 duced Majority.
WILSON'S MAJORITY "A.
The Republicans Elect Henry Harmon Supervisor, But Lose the Rest of the Ticket.

The election Tuesday was one of the most hotly contested in the history of the county. For the first time Nogales gave majority for the republican delegate to congress, MT. Morrison leading Colonel Will son by nineteen. Corbett received also majority in the town.
 Patagonia and Gala basa S also gave the republican head of the ticket small majorities; but the other precincts overthrow them and returned a total majority of four teen for Wilson in the entire county. Manning leads Corbett by about thirty, but that is overcome by Corbett's majority of 150 in Pima county.
 Upon the county ticket the dem ocrats were successful by varying majorities, as shown in the above table, which, h, wever, is not com plete, the vote of Elgin precinct be- ing shown only in part. The only democrat defeated is Dr. A. H. Noon, for supervisor, who is defeqt- ed by Henry Harmon of Washing ton Camp. Harrison, the democrat elected supervisor, and Harmon run so closely that it will take the official count to determine which will hold the long term of four years.
 In the territory at large Morrison made gallant fight, and the result for some time hung in doubt. He came down from the north with more than 600 majority, but Mari copa offset that with like major ity for Wilson. Yuma county gave Wilson 100 majority and Pinal and Santa Cruz counties gave Wilson

SANTA CRUZ co. NOTES

Last week the Santa Cruz round up between Tubac and the Inter national line was completed. A well known stockman states to THE OASIS that the calves branded were in greater number Considering cows on the range) than ever known before in ten years.
 Upon the west side of the Pata- gonia mountains the Chance mine, owned by L. w. Jimmie, of Noga- les, and associates, is making a fine showing. A large body of high grade ore is in course of develop ment. About two miles away is the Golden Rose, held by the same owners, upon which good body of ore has been developed.
 At Patagonia Friday of last week Burt Sorels was tried in Justice Quinn's court upon charge of killing a calf bearing the Colin Cameron brand. Three rangers Sergeant Foster and Officers Webb and Wheeler-arrested Sorels in the act of skinning the calf, which was admitted; but the defence was that while the calf had the Cameron brand it's mother was one of Sorels' cows. Upon that the jury acquit- ted him.
 At Patagonia Mir. A. E. Crepin is sinking an artesian we'll upon his place, having at work a patent we'll boring machine. The we'll is being sunk alongside the well from which he pumps water, From the way in which water rose in that Mir. Crepin thinks that a bored well sunk somewhat deeper than the other will give a continuous and abundant flow, which will daily discharge a large volume of water. His experiment will be watched with great interest, for if successful it will be the first of many wells which will irrigate many acres.
 Mark Lulley has a force of men engaged in building a new trail from Patagonia to the Wandering Jew mine, which greatly shortens the distance. By the wagon road toward Tubac heretofore travelled,

In time too short for record the big

camped on their trail, laying about
with a thick cane. He was something
careless concerning the part OF the

they had all made submission. He in

poorly suppressed groans at intervals.
Wilson craved and obtained permission
to speak and made a manly apology be-
fore the whole school. This ended the
war and 1t was never resumed.
