would be appraised. Mr.. Layeock, &C
companied by an appraiser, went TO the
office with the jewels. The diamonds
were spread out for Engleman's inspec-
ton and he seemed highly elated.
IN take them ALL he said TO the
sAweler, after the appraiser said they
were worth $500. Engleman asked the
appraiser to gather up the gems and
come into an adjoining room, where the
deal would be closed. Arrived there,
he paid the appraiser $50 for his serv-
Ices and asked for a receipt. While
the other man was putting the money
IN his pocket and preparing TO write the
receipt, Engleman snatched up the dia-

Can Prove Out.

Last week there appeared for the first time in THE OASIS notice from the U. s. land office at Tue son, to occupants of land upon the Baca float grant No. 3, to the effect that applicants for claims there : upon will be received. The third paragraph reads that persons who have heretofore been permitted to make entries < x
 x, and whose entries have been suspended, will be required to show by satisfactory evidence, that the lands embraced in their entries were occupied, reserred, or known to be valuable for minerals June 17th, 1863" The word italicised is the point, claims Mir. George w. Atkinson of Calabasas. All the entries so suspended were upon the old Tumacacori and Calabasas land grant, which was at the date named reSerred. All such entries can now be restored and applica- ton to make final proof accepted and acted upon, subject to proof of the reservation herein cited, which is simple matter. This will be good news to the settlers along the Santa Cruz in the region affected who have so long had their homes in suspension. Now they can prove out.

SONORA SETTINGS.
A Collection of Happenings in the
 State Over the Line.

Saturday morning Mr. J. l.. Shepherd, president of the Tri- Metallic Mining Co.,, returned from a visit to the company's properties, beyond the Yaqui river.
 Mr. G. A. Stuart, formerly in the office of the Sonora railway at Nogales, more recently in the gen. eral office at Guaymas, has re- signed his position and will next week return to his home in Cairo, Illinois.
 Mir. James H. Hanley from Colo rado, has been appointed general manager for the Hays Consolidated Mining, Milling x Lumber Co.,, in the Pinto mountains, east from Quijano station, and on the 25th ult., took charge of the property. Work upon mill construction has been resumed, and the mill will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible.
 Mir. Robert A. Johnson, during nine years past master mechanic for the Sonora Railway, has been transferred to the like position on the Tucson and El. Paso divisions, with headquarters at Tucson, and in charge of the more extensive shops there. He has been suc- ceeded at Guaymas by MT. Kill doyle, who was a machinist in that shop twenty years ago, remaining several years when he went else where. Some three months ago he returned to the shop and is now at its head.
 Sonora is now visited by MT. Max w. Cohn, an old timer in Sonora, and Doctor John l.. Nich- olson, representing the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, Mir. Cohen as special agent, and Doctor Nicholson examining surgeon. Mir. Cohn who now re- sides in the City of Mexico, resided many years in Sonora and Arizona, travelling in a business way in all parts of both,-in Lower California also. Doctor Nicholson is grad uate of London and Havard medi- cal schools and has enjoyed wide experience in the practice of his profession, having been long in the Philippines, in the United States Army. Together the two gentle men make a first class team, and they will be cordially welcomed in all parts of Sonora.

 Gents and boys clothing and underwear, stylish, cheap and dur able at the Red House, Ramon Vasquez.
 The dainty, pretty minuet Tn "The Girl I Love" will be worth seeing, at Marsh's Opera House, April 14th.
 Mir. J. B. Laux, of New York City, who has property interests Tn Sonora, and has been in the state inspecting them, two months past, was at Nogales Wednesday and Thursday, returning home.

and often are coaxed, fattered, pur-
chased or frightened into doing
what they had no intention of doing

thing about this matter is that these

upon as commendable rather than
disreptutable. Yet as matter Of
fact lobbying for delegates is just

In addition to an elaborate portrayal
Of current fashions and other matter
of special interest to women The De.
lineator for May contains literary and
artistic features of the highest excel.
lence. In fiction, there are two short
stories: His Fiancee, by Virginia

Whitson, a college story; also a
dramatic chapter of the Evolution of a
Club Woman, by Agnes Surbridge.
The story of Catherine Sewer, con.
spicuous in the early history of Ten
nessee, is the first of a series on Great
Women of Pioneer Times. Among the
present-day great, Nine. Sembrich, the
famous soprano, is the subject of an
interesting article by Gustav Kobbe,
the illustrations of which are of special
value. In Around the World in

remarks on Mothers and Marriageable
Sons will be greatly enjoyed, and DR..

THE RIGHTS OF THE VOTER.

1t seems to be the settled convic.
ton of some of the candidates for
high state official positions "that
the voter has no rights that the can
didate is bound to respect" The
fundamental principle on which re.
publican government is founded is:
that each voter has the unalienable
right to free and untrammelled
right of choice in the selection of
candidates for whom he desires to
cast his ballot. Consequently when
headquarters are established the
country flooded with laudatory liter.
ature, agents are sent out who
beg, fatter, traffic, cajole and some
times even blackmail to secure sup
port for this or that man this right

The Dunn managers assert that it
is scandalous the way that the Col
Inns men are spending money in
this campaign, and the Collins men
scornfully call attention to the fact
that the Dunn forces are carrying

state. Both sides tell the truth.
Their supply of veracity is not
large enough, however, to back up
all their campaign statements.

TEST YOUR SEED CORN.

|
The corn crop has become one of
the most important to the farmers
of this section and as the time ap-
proaches for planting, it is well for
the agriculturist to give the matter
of seed close attention for, owing
to the shortness of the season, if it
fails to grow there is not time
enough for it to mature, if it has to
be replanted.
One way to determine whether
corn will grow or not is to take a
sharp knife and split the kernels
horizontally, if the chit or germ
inside the kernel shows a bright
yellow without tinge of white the
corn will surely terminate and
grow. Care should be taken, how
ever, not to plant the grains thus
split open.
Another way is to carefully pre-
pare your field and plant your seed,
after space of about ten days if
green shoots appear where you de-
posted it, it is a sure sign the corn
has come up and your seed was
good. If these green shoots do
not appear after reasonable time,
the seed was bad and there is moth
ing to do but SOW your cornfeld to
turnips.
Still another test is to scatter
your seed corn before a flock of
poultry. The roosters will pick up
and eat all the corn that will grow
first, the hens are not SO particular.
We don't think of any plan just
now to get your seed corn back
after the roosters have eaten it but
the farmer can figure that out for
himself. Farmers ought to'exercise
their minds as we'll as their muscles.
The above article did not seem to
be very valuable after we had
written it, but complaint has
reached this Office that there is too
much politics in the editorial col
umns of the H eral d and we want
our subscribers to know we can
write on agricultural subjects.
Anyhow the above is about as sensi-
BILE as the average "Advice to
Farmers" contained in the news
papers.

this is convention to nominate
