Elsewhere in this number of TnE OAsis appears a statement from Fl Paso that the Mexican authori- ties in the Moctezuma district of Sonora have visited severe and condign punishment upon the murderers of the Maxwell Brothers. three American prospectors, who met hapless fate on the Bavispe river some months ago. Since the item was in type THE OASIS has seen a personal letter from Moc- tezuma confirming the the report. The letter states that two of those implicated in the crime, Maciano Gaxiola and Jose Munoz, had been executed, fifteen of their associates were sentenced to penal servitude for life, and their families have been all expelled from the state.
 These people are said to have been band of outlaws, which had been run out of Durango and Chi huahua, which Is now thoroughly broken up.
 Great credit for the effective work noted is due the prefect of the Moctezuma district, Don Ball. banero Robles, who has shown great energy and activity in break ing up and bringing to justice the murderous band. Don Balbanero is one of the most capable and efficient of Mexican officials, and has held his present position with rare ability during period of nine years. Before going to the Moc- tezuma district he was prefect Of the Altar district for six years. He IS thoroughly alive to the neces- sities of the situation and evil doers in the Moctezuma district have soon { reason to regret their crimes.

Bankers n Mining.

Because local bankers, whose knowledge of the worth of the vast l. resources of the country is limited
 to the discount value of their GUS toners paper and the current rates of exchange on financial cen- tres, often discourage and advise against investment in legitimate mining stocks, 1t is not to be in- ferred that the mining business is in disrepute with large, brainv tinanciers.

President Diaz to Visit Fl paso.

Fl Paso, Aug. 18.-It is now con- sidered highly probable that Presi- dent Diaz of Mexico will be among the distinguished visitors to this city during the session of the twelfth National Irrigation con gress November 15-18.

checks, locked them in a room and es-
capped with his plumber.

was arrested few hours after the
robbery and subjected 10 the usual

been planning the deed for some time.
He had made a careful study of the
premises and of the customs-of It's en-
ployes. On Friday morning everything
seemed favorable and he carried out
his plans.
The robber yesterday took Detective
Ed Wren to his home at 1887 Octavia
street, where a part of the money and

Blaney called at the Central Police
Station last evening and gave himself
up to officer Edward Mcnamara, say
ing that he was wanted for the embez-
element of $4,000 in Holyoke, Mass.
The police placed him on the detinue

tary and treasurer of the Wire Weav-
ers' Union at Holyoke, and two months

the sum of $4,000, fed from that city.
He says he was indicted by the Grand
Jury shortly after his escape.

THE uNMIsTAKABLE TREND.

The result Of the caucus Of the Republic
can voters Of Burlington saturdas evening
is an Indication Of the trend Of public sen
timent among large proportion Of Repub-
licans throughout the state, Apparently
the caucus was to be a quiet affair with
only one ticket in the field, that OF 2. S,
Stanton and indeed, up to three O'Clock
Saturday afternoon no effort had been
made to further the interests Of anyone
else. Then few admirers Of J. A. De-
Boer Of Montpelier got to work and as a
result 81 a few hours effort succeeded in
carrying the caucus for their man. When
such result Is possible ia 90 short PEI
Rod it is an indication Of what we have
previously said that the voters are not sat
isfed with either Of the ayowed eandi-
dates for the governorship nomination but
are waiting for the advocacy Of another.
And that other Ii j. A, DeBoer. II a few
hours work for him could Guido the ef-
forts Of months for another candidate.
what must have been the results provided
concerted efforts had been made through
out the state for the Montpelier man who
is not striving for the Office but who would
accept it If the voters saw lit to elect him?
The preliminary caucuses would have reg
istered sweeping majority for him.
This was against Stanton. TO show a 81.
milar trend for DeBoer as againstthe other
avowed candidate, @. j. Bell, it Is only.
necessary to turn to the Brattleboro eau
Gus held week ago Ii this caucus the
only effort put forth previously was in IA
vor Of Bell, and bis supporters had worked
several weeks for him. Up TO the caucus
no work had been done for DeBoer. Yet
when the caucus elected delegates to the

difficulty IN getting part Of the delegation
for DeBoer On this point the Brattlebo.

delegation, as elsewhere stated stands Eve
for Ben and four for DeBoer This fact
can hardly be taken as an Indication OF
public sentiment for the reason that the
only work done for any candidate previous
TO the caucus had been for Bell, and while
ticket entirely for Bell bad been named
there was no difficulty in securing a con-
eAasIon Of four DeBoer delegates, and with
