 The Oasis of June 11th, says;- The most disastrous .confagra- tion that ever occurred in the his- tory of Nogales on Thursday evening completely destroyed the large frame building owned by the Southern Pacific railway and used by that company as a tick ct office, freight warehouse and baggage room, and in which were also located the offices of the Western Union Telegraph Company and of United States Custom House. The adjacent building owned and occupied by the Wells Fargo Express Com pany was also burned to the ground and for about half an hour all appearances indicated that the entire business section of the town would become a vic tim of the flames. Very tortu- nately, however, practically no wind was stirring that evening and through the heroic work of the firemen and the valiant ef- forts of others the spread of the flames was checked and more serious loss averted,. The cause of the fire is unknown. The to- tai losses sustained by all effect led are variously estimated at from $40, 900 to $1OO,OOO.

A pipe line 2SO miles long, built for the purpose of convey ing oil from the Kern River dis trict to a shipping point on San Francisco Bay, was recently completed and opened for ser vice, when very unexpected difficulty was encountered. The oil is so heavy that it moved through the pipe at sluggish speed, making this method of transporting the oil imprac- ticable unless some improve meut in the process can be de- vised. The oil was five days travelling the first thirty seven miles, when it was decided to abandon the work. 1t has been decided to make the experiment. of heating the oil to a point of abont 120 degrees,and at the same time the number of pump ing stations will be greatly in- creased.-Scicnti6c American.
