Helena, Nov. s.-"The state has gine
republican and we will have an overwhelm-
ing ajority in the legislature OF the
state" said Hon. Thomas II. Carter at
late hour today.
II believe that the state has returned to
the republican fold to remain for many
years, and the people Of Montana, ire
spective of party affiliations. can congratu-
late themselves that they have at last
started on the road towards good govern
ment and honest politics"
Chairman Lindsay Of the state central
committee has received hundreds of tele-
grams congratulating the republican COM
mttee and the people of the state upon
the great republican victory. They came
from other states as well as from the prom
inent men of Montana.
Control Both Branches.
1t is certain that the republicans will
control both branches of the legislature and
that the majority in the lower house will
be about 80. This will insure the passage
Of any laws that, in the judgment of the
majority, may be wise and beneficial to the
state.
1t is certain that Joseph NJ. Dixon, for
congress, Is eleCtcu ny uidIity ranging
from 5000 to 5000, and that Judge Hollo-
ways vote will be somewhat larger.
These figures are conservative and may
be increased by the complete count.
Owing to the slowness OF the count in
Silver Bow county only estimates can be
made, but whatever the result in that
county may be it will not make material
change, except to possibly raise the esti-
mated majority for the republican state

With the fusionists and the democrats

the republicans of Silver Bow county could
well afford to rejoice at the returns and

OF the state show that between the demo-

What Is a Mining Fske7"
Communicated.

PATAGONIA, Ariz., Feb, II, 1892. To THE OASIS:
 Being reader and patron of the Border Vidette, and engaged also in development of prospect in which 1 and my eastern friends, who are putting up the money for the work, have great faith, l was both surprised and hurt to read in the last issue of that estimable newspaper an assertion that TIE OASIS is helping out mining fakes. wondered if the shot from the Vidette meant my mine, for TIE OASIS has several times given the property a kindly mention. Then l thought that could not be, for Miller has been always quite friend ly to me, and has also given my mine favorable mention in the col umns of the Vidette. And when l met one of my neighbors, who is

THE MARDl eRAs CARNIVAL.
A Very Agreeable Feature of Winter
 Life in Sonora.

Tuesday of this week Hermosillo and Guaymas were filled with visit ors to witness the annual Mardi Gras festivities. The following ac- count thereof and the engraving illustrative, are from "Sonora, the Empire State of the West Coast of Mexico" little booklet issued by the Sonora Railway Co, which was written by Allen T. Bird, editor of TIE OASIS:

Finally when the shaft had attained depth of sixteen hundred feet, he was about to give up the effort, and gave notice to that effect. A conn mittee from his employees waited on Mir. Hayward and urged him to continue a little longer, offering to work q couple of weeks without pay if he would do so. He continued the work, and before the two weeks had expired there was encountered an ore body of wonderful richness,- which paid all his debts and made Mir. Hayward millionaire. As a long resident in California THR OASIS editor ought to be familiar with the circumstance have re- lated.
 And no doubt you are also famil- far with the history of the Volcano mine, in the same county in Cali fornia-Amador county. Mir. J. H. Hanford spent fortune in the de- veIopment of that mine, and went heavily in debt, without result. His heaviest creditor was Leland Standford, and the latter gentle man assumed all debts and con tinued the work. Within a very few weeks Mir. Stanford struck bonanza which made him a very

 that he was indignant, for he thought that the allusion of the Vidette might be aimed at his property, which TIE OASIS has also described favorably. And later I met at the train gentleman who is mining in Sonora who was nurs- ing the same grievance with regard
 to the Vidette. In fact 1 find that the mining fraternity are all pretty sore at the unfortunate and ill-ad- vised assertion of the Vidette.

 The programme of the first day opens Sunday afternoon with a grand civic procession, in which all the gentry and the business of the city are represented. Handsomely decorated carriages, occupied by proud sefloras and beautiful senori- tas, elegantly arrayed in beautiful and costly costumes, and their handsome cavaliers, clad with equal gorgeousness, represent the social element, while the business houses are represented by great floats bear ing characteristic and allegorical representations of their lines.
 The procession proceeds to the railway station, aud few minutes after their arrival there comes puf- fng into the depot special train gaily decorated with flags, colors, wreaths and garlands, conveying King Carnival and his court, all arrayed in medieval costumes, brave knights and lords, and fair ladies rivaling one another in the gorgeousness and beauty of their attire.

WERE HEIRS TO MILLIONS.
Death Caused BY Bursted Tire Of
Their Automobile.
WHO MAY INHERIT FORTUNE.

Evereaux, France, Aug. 16.-Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Fair, Americans who
were related to Mrs. w. X. Wander
bilt, Jr., Miss Virginia Fair, were
returning to Paris from Trouville.
when their automobile swerved and
crushed into tree, fifteen miles from
here. Both were killed. The chauffeur
became insane as a consequence of the
shock. Charles Fair was the son of the
late Senator Fair, and was one OF the
heirs to the immense estate left by
him. 1t is peculiar that the son of the
late John w. Maclsay, one of Senator
Fairs partners, was also killed near
Paris few years ago by being thrown
from his horse.
The accident was evidently due to
the bursting of tire. At the time
when it occurred the auto, which was
capable of running "A miles an hour,
was going at the rate of sixty-two
miles an hour.
San Francisco. Fair has
been enthusiastic about automobiles
ever since the machines came into use
abroad. He was one of the first to
bring automobiles to this coast, and
he owned three or four of them. He
had what was perhaps the largest and
swiftest automobile in California.
He was one of the three heirs to an
immense estate, estimated in value at
between S25,OOO,OO and $50, 900, 900.
The other two are his two sisters.
"Under the law of California, when
u couple are victims of a common calam-
ity and both are between 16 and 20
years of age, and there is no evidence
as to which died first the man is pre-
sumed to have lived the longer. In
such case all the property would go
to Mr.. Fairs relationships sisters.
son the other hand, if there is evil
dence to show that Mrs Fair lived
longer than Charles Fair, her relations
in the east would inherit the property
involved"

CABLE FULL CASUALTY LIST
Order Given To Report Names
Twice Every Month
OF ENLISTED MEN WHO DIE.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 1s.-The president
has given orders that hereafter the
names of the enlisted men of the army
who died in the Philippines be cabled
20 this country once in every two
weeks When the volunteer army was
in the archipelago it was the custom
TO cable the casualties, but on the
withdrawal of that army the practice
was discontinued.
The subject was discussed while the
president was entertaining a number
of visitors at luncheon and the cabling
the names of the dead soldiers was
preached by one of the visitors, who
made the point that under the present
system the relatives of enlisted men
who die in the Philippines. are kept in
ignorance of this fact for eight or ten
weeks, while the families of officers
who succumb there are informed at
once. The president was greatly in
tercsted and as it was explained to
him, ordered General Corbin to in
struct General Chaffee, at Manila, to
cable his full casualty list twice
month. While it costs on an average
OF 81. so to cable news to this country
of the death OF an officer in the Phil
fppiues, it costs about $50 for each
enlisted man. The difference is due to
the fact that the war department has
code numbers for all its officers, while
the names of the enlisted men, together
with their company, regiment, etc,
must be. sent in full.

Norman, Ok, Aug. is.-An attempt
was made to burn the new Methodist
church at Moore, Cleveland county. A
gentleman who lives near the church
was up at 3 o'clock "a. m. and noticed a
light in the church. He investigated,
and at once gave the alarm. The
whole town was soon on the scene and
by hard work the fire was controlled
and the building saved. Only about
SiO0 damage was done, but it was
''touch and go" for quite while. In
designations showed that the incen-
diary had punched hole in the plaster
and filed it with paper and shavings,
which he saturated with coal oil Oil
was also spread around on the floor.
The town is pretty will satisfied as
who is the incendiary.

SIX COMPANIES COMBINE.
Harvesting Machine Prices Likely
To Advance.
FOUR COMPANIES NOT IN IT.

New York, Aug. 15.-The incorpor-
ators of the International Harvester
Company, articles of Incorporation for
which were filed in Jersey City, made
public statement, which says, in part:
The International Harvester Com.
pany has been organized under the
laws of New Jersey, with "A capital
stock of SlaO, 100000, to manufacture
and sell harvesting machinery. 1t has
purchased the property and business
of the following companies: The Nc
Cormicls Harvesting Machine Company,
Deering Harvester Company, Plano
Manufacturing Company, Warder,
Bushnell & Glessner (Champion), Mil
waulee Harvester Company. The
company is capitalized upon an excep-
tionally conservative basis. OF it's
assets, $50, 900, 900 are in cash working
capital. The company will require no
financing, and there will be no offer of
its stock to the public, all the cash re-
quired having been provided by its
stockholders.
After abiding to the advance in
prices Of raw material and the possible
consequent advance in the price of
harvesting machinery unless economies
in existing conditions of manufacture
could be accomplished, the statement
continues:
"The manufacturers realize that
their welfare and the interests of the
farmers are identical. An advance in
the price of agricultural machinery
would injure the farmers and react
upon the manufacturers. But, on the
other hand, if existing conditions con-
tinued, an advance in the prices would
be inevitable. 1t thus became neces-
sary that either the prices should be
advanced or that substantial economies
should be effected in the manufacture
and distribution of the agricultural
machinery. The management of the
company will be in charge of gentle
men who have for years been identified
with the business. The company will
start with ample man ufacturing facili-
ties 1t has five fully equipped manu-
featuring plants in the United States
and one plant in process of constrrc-
tion in Canada.

Clergy Rate Tickets Sold.

Chicago, Aug. 1s.-The bulletin sent
out for August by the clergy bureau
Of the Western Passenger association
gives the number of the tickets and
the names of los persons who have
been given clergy rates and who have
then sold the tickets thus secured.
This bulletin is to conductors with in
structions to take up the tickets and
collect fares when one of the tickets is
found. These tickets have been issued
to those who are eligible to clergy
rates. That there should be los that
have been sold to brokers seems re-
markable to the passenger men.

Western Miners May Strike.

Pittsburg, Kas., Aug. 16.-That the
miners of Kansas and other Western
states will go on a strike September 80,
is regarded here as being practically
certain. The conference that has been
here for some time endeavoring to
make settlement with the operators,
has reached more than 70 days of con-
tinuous session, and the matter is no
nearer being settled than it was before.
If strike is called, all the miners in
Kansas, Missouri, Indian territory
and Arkansas will likely go out.

Bounties For Scalps.

Topeka, Aug. 13.-The bounties Of.
fered for coyote scalp makes business
IN that line good. For the quarter
ending June 30 Barton county paid
$3.50, Finney, $500; Edwards, $3.50;
Lane. $3l2; Pawnee, S277; Scott, $136,
and so on. Since the law went into
operation the scalp industry" has
rapidly improved. Indeed coyote
scaips are becoming the most numerous
product of some counties. The six
counties named in three months pro-
duced 1883 scalps that sold for 81, 5Ss

Dragging About Hay Crop.

! Wamego, Kans., Aug. 16.-Haying is
in full progress here. Most of the
grass cut is on the uplands and is of a
fine quality and makes a splendid
yield. One piece of bottom bluestem
yielded twenty-one tons from seven
acres. This was the first cutting and
the second promises to be nearly as
good. Hill grass is not so heavy but
is better than for several years. The
third crop of alfalfa has just been got
up. While some fields have been in
jured by dry weather most of them
gave good lot of hay.

Census Gets on Wrong.

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 1s.-Something
is wrong in the government census de-
partment. In a bulletin which reach
ed here it declares that Kansas has
no wooden factories. The fact is, Kan
sas has several wooden factories.
There are two located in Topeka. In
dependence has one and other towns
in the southeast also have mills of that
character. The bulletin also says no
musical instruments are manufactured
in Kansas. There is one mandolin
factory in the state.
