Wilson might be called the Bill Nye
of the executive circle.
Shortly after he assumed charge Of
his important department Mr.. Wilson
made some changes in his office. Sen
ators and congressman came to pro-
test, but all to no avail, because the
secretary felt that what he was doing
was in the interest Of the public serv-
ice. Finally one OF the employees
whose transfer had been ordered said:
"Mr. Secretary, I am afraid that II
you dispense with any more Of our men
It will impair the efficiency Of this de-
partment l considered II my duty to
say this to you and to get your views"
For answer the secretary looked up
at the ceiling and said:

who had three fat cats. His barn was
overrun with mice. One day he gave
the three fat cats away and got one
new cat-not so fat He was never

ACROSS THE BORDER.

Chihuahua Enterprise: It is now certain that the eastern part oi this state is soon to be thoroughly pros- pected for oil and that W. k. Hearst is to be the moving spirit. There are several others interested with MT. Hearst in the search for oil. For the past three years these people have had rights secured over large area of land in eastern Chihuahua along and near the sur yeved line of the Orient railroad. They have quietly picked up the best land, and c. R. Troxell pro- moter of the enterprise, has been ont in that section for the past three or four years. Oil experts have examined the lands and they are considered most promising for oil The indications of oil as shown on the surface have been known for years, but the remoteness of the lands from railroad trans portation has prevented their being proven. The promised extension of the Orient railroad eastward to the Rio Grande at an early date has caused the owners of the lands to undertake to prove them at once. It is understood that Hearst and associates have also quietly picked up large area of coal lands, and that Gov. Creel and Juan Creel, with c. R. Troxell, have acquired rights to lands con taining extensive beds of nitrates.
 Mexican Herald: Unless the governor of the state of Oaxaca grants pardon or communication Of sentence, John Madden, the con- yicted murderer of Dr. Richard King. will be executed in the city of Oaxaca. The Supreme Court has just confirmed the decision of the lower court, and there is no higher court to which the con- demned man can appeal. Ambas- sador Clayton, under the direction of the state department at Wash ington, has refused to intercede. The murder for which Madden will likely be shot, was peculiarly cold blooded. He had some slight dis agreement with Dr. King, and one evening, almost two years ago, as the doctor was alighting from a train at e,Oaxaca station, Mad den stepped forward and deliber- ately shot him to death. Each man had many friends in the Re public, and the case has been fought stubborniy. The attorney of Madden has taken advantage oi every loophole to save his client from receiving the death sentence and has promptly appealed from every decision made by the minor courts. He now has the opportun- ity to appeal to the clemency oi the governor of this state, but the fact that the United States foreign office has refused to intereede, it is considered that the man has nc chance. If the custom of the coun try is complied with he will bt shot on exactly the same spot where he committed the crime. The judge of the Supreme Court has forwarded papers to Oaxaca. The attorney has two days to appell tc the governor. The governor has one dav to consider the matter, and the next day if he does not grant 2 respite of some sort, the man will be shot, according to the custom Q. the country.

HE MUST 60 TO HIS
 PROPERTY AT ONCE
oR. A. c. WRIGHT FORCED TO vis- THIS MINES OR LOSE
 THEM.
The Way Is Infested With Hostile Taquis for Sixty Miies-RiIey Kill ed or This Traii-Here 6lanco Fam fly Was Murdered.

Dr. A. c. Wright left today for Moo teZuma over the Nacozari railroad. When there he will prepare for an overland trip to his mines near Sa- hua-ipa, some 100 miles south of Moe tezuma The doctor has made this trip some twenty five or thirty times before and thinks little of it, but what adds interest to the present journey is the fact that for sixty miles he must travel through country now in fested with Yaqui Indians.
 hls old stopping place on many pre-
 vious journeys to and from his mines
 was the Blanco ranch. The Blanc0
 ranch was the home of the family
 which was murdered by Yaqui In
 dians on December 16, an account of
 which was published in the Interna-
 tional-American on last Saturday.
 The Blanco family were friends of
 Dr. Wright. He will pass over the
 trail between Tepachi and Lampa2as,
 where s. L. Riley was murdered by
 the Yaquis a few months ago.
 Dr. Wright will take a pack train of about ten mules, loaded with pro
 visions for the men who are now
 working his mining property. He does not like the trip, but the men are out of supplies and they must get these provisions or suffer. He can hardly fail to make this drive without sac rificing his whole interests and the interests of friends here and in Bis bee If he loses his life on this prop osition he will not be the first who has suffered thus, for s. L. Riley was killed while making a like trip to some property in which he was inter- ested
 The mines in question adjoin the "Cadena de CobreY property which is owned by Bisbee parties. and are the Columbia" Manuel" and San Ga briel," copper properties.
 Dr. Wright says he is not the only American left in a dilemma by the Yaqui troubles. There are, he says in the Sahuaripa district, more than one hundred American mine opera tors who are cut of fro mthis frontier f the trail between Moctezma and is closed. They formerly lad an outlet by way of Hermosillo. put the Yaqui war closed that long since and they turned to Moctezuma md Douglas, but that line of com is now interrupted and the mining men are in sore straits. Un ess the country is soon pacifivd there gill be much loss and suffering.
 Two other white men will be of the party pr. Wright has been in that country some eight years and knows ais ground He takes his trip plenty but seems to be the kInd of man whom the Yaquis might take just as seriously

MARKET GOSSIP.

But Little Change.-There was but little change yestel- day in market conditions and the prices of shares, though a quiet trading that pervades by certain sources would indi- cate a decided change for the better before many days. No stock or stocks in particular are monopolizing the attention of traders. but there is deal ing in nearly the entire list to a certain degree, and the prices in all cases are holding firm.
 East After WoIverine.-Wol- verine & Arizona is one of the , stocks being given particular attention at the Hub, and usually when such is the case there is some excellent reason for the demand. and it would not be surprising to see the shares being eagerly taken up at advanced figures in the course of a short time.

 Houghton, Mich, Dec. 27.-A CaIu. met stockhulder in the Black Diamond recently wrote to Dr. T. Nj. Sabin, secretary of the company, for infor- nation concerning the affairs of the company and has just received a re ply. The Black Diamond property. which is near Pearce, Arizona, was developed to a very large extent by Hoaghton county capital. but for va rioGs reasons that SO often beset a young property, the company was on the point of dissolution. It was res cUed from this state by the energy of some of the stronger stockholders who succeeded in financing a bond is sue that provided the funds necessary ts keep il in the hands of the stock holders.
 The property was idle for a long time as the result of financial difficul- ties. but the work was resumed a few weeks ago, as was announced in The Mining Gazette al that time. The com pany's home office is in Wheeling. WesJ Virginia, under the laws of which state 1t is organized. Secretary Sabin says. under date of Dec. II:
 "Things are moving these days at the Black Diamond. The miners were in A feet in one drift and 3S feet in another drift at the last report, and they must have advanced 15 feet in each drift since that time
 Machine drills are in operation new. The showing is great and the manager is confident he will cut out ore soon in the Bagge level.
 Tt was planned to unwater the shaft and begin drifting at the 200-foot Lleve1 there, but have not heard of the prog Tess in this work The mine manage n,ent is feeling good about the way things are going and so are we.
 We feel that our bonds are entirely safe al their face value, and every day sees some advance in the price Of the stock, with plenty Of buyers.
 AS matters are shaping themselves ! don't think there is any danger of the bondholders getting the property. Cur 5000 shares of treasury stock will give us money to do all develop IDent wa may do if the present out look holds good. We are feeling fine afout the Black Diamond and think 1t vz coDe out on top yet"
