To Life insurance Policy Holders.

At the beginning of my story nearly
year and half ago, l made certain
accusations against the management of
the three big life insurance companies.
l knew, when l began my story, that
the big life insurance companies were
in the hands of grafters and thieves,
just as are the great banks, trust COM
panies, railroad companies, and big
corporations and trusts.
This knew, and in plain language,
said it.
The big insurance companies through
their officers and trustees, replied by
declaring: Hes an unmitigated liar -
kept at my knitting, for l knew the
crimes of these insurance grafters were
such that, sooner or later, the world
would have an opportunity to judge
fairly who were the unmitigated liars
and thieves.
The opportunity is at hand.
Today the press of the world is de-
voting its space, news and editorial, to
a recital of the contemplate and helm
Gus crimes of the New York Life and
the Mutual Life insurance companies
not as l relate them, but as their own
officers and trustees publicly confess
them.
In the July instalment of my story |
called upon policy-holders to sign a
coupon blank and send same to me that
l might speak for them in a plan to
further their interests.
In responseto MY call havereceive
up to today, October 4th, 16,307 an
swers, representing $55, 165, GIG.
/ think my readers, when they an
alyze the following list and take into
consideration the character of the
senders, many of whom are men of the
highest standing bishops, ministers,
governors, mayors, judges, senators,
members of congress, railroad, bank
and trust company presidents-will
agree with me that it is the most re-
markable collection ever made by one
interest since life insurance began.

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

tive Power P. Sheedy of the South .ern Pacific was q visitor at Guay- mas and other points along the line of the Sonora railway.
 From Guaymas there comes in- formation that MT. Herman Wolf, a prominent merchant of that city who was visiting Europe, has died in Hamburg, Germany. Deceased YVES son-in-law of General Lo- renzo Torres.
 At tires the we'll known firm of Aguilar & Morales, operating El Urense, the roller process flour mill at that place, and conducting other business, has dissolved, the house continuing under management of Mir. + 4 Aguilar.
 The new railway concessions, re- gently published in THE OASIS, for railway extensions in Sonora, and the prospects for their speedy com pletion, are causing a healthy growth at Alamos, and much ac- tivity in the district.
 From Alamos there comes to THE OASIS a well authenticated ac- count of rich gold strike, in that district, at the foot of the Sierras about sixty miles east from the city named. THE OASIS informant writes that he anticipates stam- pede in that direction.
 Messrs Noodle, Hardy and Har- rington of Alamos have taken an option for term of two years on the Azteca mine owned by Mir. Tays, in that district. They have also bonded the Dewitt mine for q term of one year. Active opera ton have already begun on both properties.
 Some time ago the famous Pro- montorio mine, near Alamos, which was described in TIE OASIS in January, was bonded to Philadel- phia parties. Information is now received that the deal has been closed. The property has an al- most unbroken record of produc- tion for nearly two centuries.
 El Progreso of Altar, notes the return to that district of Captain c. k. Perkins of Nogales, to make a preliminary survey for a route for a railway from Port Libertad on the Gulf of California to Fl Tiro-the work being in the inter- est of mining companies operating in the vicinity of the latter named place.
 The Candnea Herald of last Saturday states that Eulogio Soto- mayer, ten years past federal min- eral agent at Arizpe has been ar rested undera a charge of fraudul- ently altering documents in his office. Two we'll known surveyors of Arizpe are also incriminated and the Herald intimates that orders for their apprehension have been issued.
 Good reports continue to come from the Sultana and San Jose properties at Copete. The Giroux Consolidated Copper Mining O., has become q regular shipper oi high grade ores. Other mines in the vicinity can be made to do just as well--notablv, the Iron Duke, Copete, Belene and Sierra de Orc. This has been always the nrx,, O l.

The same company are now erecting q silver lead fur mace which will be ready to blow in about July 1st In their various mines the Transvaal Company have blocked out sufficient ore to run large plant many years.
 From Alamos comes the infor- nation that the Zambona Develop ment & Mining Company are push ing work upon the Minas Nuevas group This is the property des- cribed in January last, when visit ed by THE OASIS man, as having been secured by Messrs W. $. CraDz and Amos Yaeger of Noga- les. They organized the Zambona company, in which are associated with them California and Chicago capitalists. Both gentlemen named are on the ground, with their coats off and working hard. They have 8 mine with continuous record of production since 1796, and they will make it great property, richly productive.

Catholic Mission Services.

Father Collins phones the Tribune
that two Dominican fathers from Min
neapolis commenced a ten-day Catholic
Mission in St. Joseph's church, Man
dan, last Sunday. They will continue
the mission until next Wednesday.
Large crowds are in attendance daily
at the four services. Catholics of Bis
marck and vicinity are cordially invit-
ed to attend the remaining services.
Both fathers are excellent teachers
and many non-Catholics attend to
hear the sermons on spiritual and
evangelical topics.
Father Collins church is enc of the
finest in the state and is the pride of
the good priest, who has done a great
christianizing work in this section,
and all who go from this side of the
river will be cordially received.

Divorced at Thirteen,

The above were the principals in a
sad domestic drama which was en-
acted yesterday afternoon in the
chambers of Judge Goss of the district
court.
The action was brought by Andrew
Hammer, guardian for his daughter,
Miss Clara Giles, who asked the court
to annul the marriage of his daughter
to VIM. Giles.
Testimony was produced to show
that the daughter had eloped from
her home, which at the time of the
marriage was in Minnesota, in order
that she might marry William Giles
who was twenty-three years her SEN
Tor. The couple was married about
three years ago, when Mrs. Giles was
but thirteen years of age. A child,
now two years old, was born of the
union.
The court after hearing the testi-
mony granted a decree, annuling the
marriage contract on the grounds of
want of legal consent, and directed
that the legitimacy of the child born
of the marriage and the custody of
the same be given to Mrs. Giles.
Andrew Hammer, father of Mrs.
Giles, testified that his daughter mar
ried Giles without the parents con-
sent and greatly against their wishes.
Mrs. Giles resides at present with her
father, about fifteen miles southwest
of Minot.
The law firm of Johnson & Nestos
appeared in behalf of the plaintiff.

NEWELL ORDERS THE
SURVEY COMPLETED
THIS WILL BE DONE IN ORDER
= THAT OWNERS or LAND IN
THIS IRRIGATION -
DISTRICT MAY FULLY UNDER.
STAND THE PROPOSITION TO
BE UNDERTAKEN.

Evidently in response to a sugges-
ton from State Engineer Fellows of
this city, Chief Engineer Newell of
the reclamation service, has decided
to complete the surveys necessary for
the Bismarck irrigation project,
though the engineers in charge seem
not to have yet been informed of this
decision
A Washington dispatch says:
"Chief Engineer Newell of the re.
clamation service has directed that
preliminary surveys in connection with
the Bismarck, N. D., pumping project
be pushed to completion this season
in order that owners of land in that
section whose property will come un-
der the project may have a clear I'M
derstanding Of the plans of the service.
and full knowledge of the cost of
water rights.
"At present the sentiment of the
people apparently is not favorable to
the project. The conditions resemble
those that prevailed in Oklahoma.
where the landowners declared that
any discussion of irrigation was GER
tain to injure property values and that
irrigation was not essential anyway.
"A light has since dawned on Okla.
homa, and the people are now enthus-
iastically cooperating with the govern
ment in its efforts to establish irriga-
ton works in the territory.
"Mr. Newell hopes that when COM
plete plans are presented, there will
come a change of sentiment, and the
North Dakotans will evince readiness
to cooperate. If no such change oc.
ours, the amount set aside for con.
struction will be applied to works
elsewhere, and the Bismarck project
will be held in allegiance for several
years.
"The secretary of the interior has
| withdrawn the northwest quarter OF
section 6, township 10, north range So
east, Montana principal meridian, in
connection with the Buford IRRIGATION
project in Montana and North Dakota. >

he Kept ] Diary.

The diary and private papers
found by Sheriff Applewhite in
the valise of the peddler, Nicholas
j.. Cady, who was killed near Mt.
Zion, show conclusiyely that the
man was insane. Cady was evi-
IDENTIFY i member Of the Catholic
faith, and seemed By bis writings
TO have been under constant dread
that Fenians and members Of the.
old Cla1- Gael and other imags
inary spirits of evil were con-
stantiy pursuing and plotting to
kill him. He mentioned instances
when he was afraid to attend a
Catholic church because he feared
they would disturb the congrega-
ton and raise d row By attempt
ing i hazing assault on him. His
imagination and fears we're appar-
emily all the time wrought up to 4
high pitch and caused him to sus.
pect fouI play. Such man was
not ID mental condition to be at
large, and his sad and tragic end
at the hands Of q stranger was but
a logical result. He wrote q
plain, Iegible hand and seems to
have been a man OF very fair edu-
cation.
