DESSART ESCAPES
 FROM THE ASYLUM

Yesterday District Attorney <. K. Noon received from Doctor A. II Ward, superintendent of the Arizona insane asylum at Phoenix, a telegram conveying the intelli- gence that John Dessart, the presi- dent of the collapsed International Bank, had escaped from the asy- lum, to which he was committed shortly after the failure of the bank nearly two years ago.
 Doctor Wards telegram was very brief, containing the bare an- nouncement of the escape, and an additional sentence reading await letter." The letter cannot reach Nogales until late this evening, and If there are contained therein any detailed particulars of the escape they will not be known until the letter IS delivered to the district attorney.
 The district attorney stated that several requests that Dessart be paroled have come from the asy- lum, but he hes declined to enter- tain the proposition, asserting that if the ex-banker had recovered from his insanity sufficiently 10 be paroled, he is sufficiently sane to return 10 Santa Cruz county and stand trial under the indictments found against him. Now the ex. banker has stolen march upon them and gone without parole.
 When notified Sheriff Fowler immediately wired to officers in all directions, hoping to intercept and aPprehend the escape; but it is generally felt that tho effort will be useless. Mir. Desssart is prob- ably safely out of the country already.

 This inquiry is not put in any spirit of hostility to either Colonel Randolph or his great enterprises in Sonora. It has been ever the policy of THE OASIS to foster Amer ican enterprises in Sonora, and it hailed with joy the advent into that splendid field of Colonel Ram dolph with his great talent and energy, wide experience and com mand of unlimited capital. But 1t protests when he goes out of his way to fling unwarranted declara tions at people of the same race as those to whom he entrusts his great enterprises in Sonora, who are also loyal American citizens as are the people of New Mexico.

At midnight Sunday night the Catholic church was crowded to the doors with people from both towns, while midnight mass was celebrated by Father Duval, who delivered a short but very earnest and interesting sermon on the holy event in honor of whieh the mass was celebrated. The altar was beautifully decorated and to the right of the altar, outside the altar railing, was a miniature reproduc- tion of mountain side, on which grazed, cattle, sheep and other animals. Through an open door way could be seen the manager, in which lay the Christ child, while around the crib, looking on in reverent wonder, some kneeling. some standing, were grown people and children

AGAIN WHY?

In an editorial week ago THE OASIS asked why Colonel Epes Ran. dolph recommends investments Of capital in the Mexican state of Sonora, at the same time declaring that he is holding in abeyance heavy investments in Arizona, awaiting the outcome of the pro- posed legislation for annexation of New Mexico to Arizona, through an asserted fear that the Mexicans of New Mexico will dominate the new state and work policy of conhscation?
 The very day that editorial ap- peared in THE OASIS the Los Ange- les Times of the 2lst arrived in Nogales and contained the follow ing significant item:
 The Altar Development com pany has been organized with of hces in this city to operate a tract on the Randolph-Lindsav conces- sion at Altar, Sonora. The stock holders arc largely eastern people, although there are some interested in Los Angeles Development work was started some three weeks ago.
 The company's territory lies ad- joining that Of the Llanos de Orc Company, organized by Messrs. Randolph and Lindsay, in the eastern half Of the concession, and is about one hundred square miles 1t contains number of rich pIacers worked in former years by Mexicans, who went down to where the hard rock was struck and quit. From the indications the ground could be as fully as rich as that of the Llanos de Gro company, in the opinion of the owners. Several holes have been sunk.
 Near the Cienega river on the western end of the concession, which is twenty by thirteen miles in extent, prospecting is being carried on and iii all probability other companies will be organized later to operate there. On the Freeman concession which touches the Randolph-Lindsay property on the west operations are being car ried on but short distance from the line between the two.
 Like the other companies or ganized to work this region, the Altar Company is a close corpora tion, the entire stock having been taken by moneyed men.
 Now in all candor and fairness, TIE OASIS asks how Colonel Ram dolph can recommend investment of capital in the enterprise inaugu- rated by the Altar Development Company, all of whose property is in the Mexican state of Sonora, a commonwealth dominated entirely
