Ready for Delivery.

The Chamber of Mines pamph- lets descriptive of Southern Ariz- ona and Sonora, is now ready for delivery, and copies can be had in any quantity by addressing the secretary of the Chamber at Noga les, Arizona. It is a handsomely printed book of forty-eight pages, with many handsome half tone eEgravings. Ten thousand copies have been printed and several thousand have been already cir culated in the East--at the St. Louis Exposition and in New York. This is the book in which Buttinski asserted that there was "a graft" of about one thousand dollars. He charged that THE OASIS was to be paid by the Cham Der fifteen hundred dollars, when he could get the work done for five hundred and forty-nine dollars. The treasurer of the Chamber of Mines has bill which shows that the actual charge for printing the book was four hundred and ninety five dollars. The figures are the same as those given by Buttinski, but they are arranged bit differ ently-just fifty-four dollars less. It is no secret that the Chamber pays Mr. Bird two hundred dollars for his work which is a very mod crate charge. The most amusing part of it all is that Buttinski had the gall to think he has sufficient grey matter to prepare the book, and the facilities for turning out the finished work; and when the job was given unsolicited to Mir. Bird, he became furious and has been 50 ever since. Copies can be procured by addressing the Cham Der of Mines, or calling at the First National Bank or TIE OAsIS office.

A Fine Ore Body.

From the Red Men mine owned by Con O'Keefe and George Vie land, which is in the Patagonia mountains, not far from IIalshaw, there comes cheering intelligence of continued fine development. Last week Mr. O'Keefe received word that the breast of the tunnel showed four feet of splendid ore, and information received this week is to the effect that it still con tinues.
 Good ore is constantly piling upon the dump, and Messrs. o. Keefe and Wieland expect 10 shortly make a shipment. The Redmen is without doubt one of the coming producers of Santa Cruz county.

Activity at Promontorio.


 From Mir. H. $. Eberle, president and general manager for the Pro- montorio Mining Company, who was in Nogales this week, and Mir. l.. Ephrqim, secre ary, of the same corporation, THE OASIS learns that there is a great deal of activity at the camp, which is nearly directly west from Nogalcs. and about twenty-five miles distant by the wagon road which goes around by Agua Zarca and Distiladeros.
 Upon the twentieth of September MT. Eberle took charge at Promon- torio, and since then operations have been most vigorously con ducted.
 A new double compartment shaft, projected to go down to the junction of the five great veins running through the property, has been sunk to a depth of seventy five feet and is daily going deeper. Within thirty days it will be en- tirely below all the old workings, and indications could not possibly be better for encountering great body of high grade ore. All ex- perts who have ever visited Prom ontorio have predicted the finding of n great bonanza at and below the junction of the five veins men, toned, and the new shaft is now going steadily towards it.
 In the old upper workings, where the lodges have been cut by tunnels there is yet great deal of good ore blocked out which has not been stopped. Manager Eberle has been filling the chutes from l these reserves.
 At the same time that Manager Eberle commenced operations at Promontorio, Secretary Ephraim ordered the reduction machinery, which has since been made and is now coming IOTWafd. A pOTtlOh is now on the ground and all the rest will be shortly.
 To facilitate transportion of the machinery the road between Noga- les and Promontorio has been put into the best condition, and the work is now completed. Grading ! for the site of the reduction plant is also completed, and, as set forth above, the machinery is fast ar irving Ere many weeks 1t will be all assembled and in successful operation.
 l About seventy-fve men are now steadily employed and constant accessions to the force are being made. By the middle of January there will be 200 to 250 men in steady employment and Promon- torio will be one of the liveliest camps in the state of Sonora.

/ MANY iiIl| old SETTLERS
Y
DIE, D!!l!lE!:

An unusual number OF old
settlers died last week in ditferant
sections of this state. Besides
Henry and Charles Beaulieu, Ed.

Grow Wing, James Hallett, one
of the earliest settlers Of Brainerd
and Major A. G.. Morrill,, also
formerly of Grow Wing, died
during the past week.
Ed. Lowell, who died at Aitken

he having been in the Indian
trade as one of the firm of Peake,
Wakefield & Co. James Hallctt
was also well known here by all
the Gull Lake and Mile Lac In
dians with whom he traded many
years. Major Morrill,, although
the Indian agent of the Minnesota
Chippewa in 1S62-63 and 81, was
not as we'll known to the younger
members of the tribe as to the
older ones. He succeeded Major

1862. For number Of years
Major Morrill, has made his home

MERGERS DILEMMA.

The suit now on trial in the
United States circuit court at
Fergus Falls, against the Common
wealth Lumber Company, dis
closes the fact, we are informed,
that that the object of the prose-
cution is to establish that Captain
Mercer, Indian agent at Leech
Lake when the trespass was COM
mitted, was responsible for the
cutting of the green timber; that
he, Mr.. Sullivan, general superin-
tendent OF logging under Mercer,
and the Commonwealth Lumber
Company were in collusion to rob
the Indians.
The defence will undoubtedly
endeavor to throw the whole re-
sponsibility on Captain Mercer
and Mr.. Sullivan and take the
grounds that the company is in nc
wise responsible for the trespass
and that it simply purchased the
logs after they were cut and haul.
ed to landings; that this cutting
having been done under the dir.
ection and supervision of the gov
ernment officials who had charge
of the operations, the company
should not be compelled to pay
the additional amount which the
United States is trying to collect
on behalf of the Indians.
