 The Mansfield party were accom- panied by a number of Eastern in- vestors, and after a thorough in- spection of the properties they de- clared themselves as more than pleased with the showing; and to show their faith in the splendid future of the property those gen. tlemen increased their investments in the treasury stock by several thousand dollars.

Stock Market.

Kansas City, Dec. 7th, 1906. The supply of cattle this week is 61 ,000 head, few thousand above expectation. The market is steady on desirable killing cattle, firm on stockers and feeders, but weak to 15 cents lower on medium to com mon cows, and killing steers. A large share of the supply this week has been furnished by Colorado and adjoining territory, and some new prices have been established for this seaeon, feeders at $4.35 to $4.50, and numerous small lots of cows at $375. Big bulk of the Colorado stockers ard feeders sold between $3.75 and $4.25, the high est range of the season. Western beef steers sell at $3.40 to $4.50, cows $2.S0 to $3.60. Panhandle and New Mexico cows sold at $2.- 40 to $2 90 mostly, some sales up to $3.25, bulls $2.25 to $2.60. Sup ply of natives was moderate this week, and embraced few lots of Christmas cattle at $6.50 to $7.00. Short fed cattle are not coming freely yet, and quality is not very good, and it will be three or four weeks before any considerable numbers of fed cattle from native territory are received. Colder weather last few days has put snap into the market, and the week is closing in good shape.
 Sheep and lambs are almost entirely fair to good fed stuff, mo- thing very choice, and few ship ments from the range are included. The total supply is only 21,000 for the week, market stronger each day except Wednesday, best fed western lambs selling at $7.25 to $7. 40, fancy natives $7.5O, fair to good lambs s6.75 to S7.25, year. lings $5.75 to $6.50, wethers $500 to $5.75. ewes $4.50 to $5.35. Very few stock or feeding sheep or lambs are included, but such are easily disposed of at old prices.

Tempe News: The territorial auditor has turned over to the ter ritorial treasurer $5,413.60. It was the total of the fees received from the incorporation business during the month of November. This is the largest business done in any month since that business was turned over to the auditor. The next largest month was that of last March when the fees amounted to $5,096.20, or $317.4O less than the fees for the month just ended.

A LOCAL INDUSTRY.
SONORA DIsTILLERY AT HERMosILLo
Turning Out Excellent Article of Whisky that is Meeting With Ready Sale
 Throughout the State.

Last week TIE OASIS editor was shown through the Sonora distil- lery at Hermosillo by the pro- prietor, Mir. J. A. Simonds, and was really gratifed to find that the establishment is a modern, we'll equipped and we'll appointed plant, with all the latest and most approved appliances for turning out first class article. The me- chanical operations are guided by the power of a 20H. P. engine, supplied with steam by 40-H. P. boiler, and this machinery drives all the various operations such as grinding the barley, stirring the mash, etc. Mir. Simonds makes his liquor from materials both native and imported, using in the manufacture corn which is raised in Sonora, rye from California, and malt, which latter he buys from the brewery at Hermosillo, but which is imported by that institu- tion in carload lots. The first operation consists in grinding these together in a mill specially con- structed for distilleries, driven by the engine mentioned. The ground grains go to the mash tub where they are cooked by steam, the pro- cess being carefully watched and the temperature regulated during the entire process, through all of which the mash is kept constantly stirred by mechanical means. To this is added a given quantity of yeast, made on the premises, which goes into the mash at the proper stage. The liquor resulting is known technically as "beer," and that is run through a double still, fin copper" " and the pure whisky flows from that into the recepta- cles provided, being stored in bar rels, kegs or bottles, to meet the requirements of the trade.
 The whisky put up by Mir. Sim onds is a really first class article, that is meeting with a popular de- mand all over Sonora. Its value and medical qualities are attested by the following unsolicited testi- monial, received recently by Mir. Simonds from one of the best and most widely known medical prac- tioners in Sonora:
 BAvIAcoRA, Nov. 9, '06. Mir. J. A. SnIONDs,

MANSFIELD MINING AND sMELTING COMPANIES CAMP VISITED BY
 INTERESTED INVESTORS,
Who Are Cratified by the Showing and Increase Their Holdings in the Stock. Extensive Development
 Accomplished and New
 Machinery Ordered.

Last week the camp of the Mansfield Mining and Smelling Company, in the Wrightson dis trict, on the south slope of the Santa Rita mountains, about nine miles northwest from Patagonia, was visited by Mir. Roland k. Bruner of Kansas City, Mo-, ac- companied by Messrs. Raymond P. May and E. $. Horne of the same city, the latter named gentlemen being associated with the Mansfield Company, in its general offices, in the city whence they hail; and with MT. A. B. Richmond, the general manager for the company, the party made thorough in- spection and examination of the properties, together with the work that is in hand and projected.
 Wednesday h e gentlemen named were in Nogales, and to a representative of THE OASIS they expressed themselves highly grat- flied with the properties in which they are interested, and the im- portant development accomplished under the able management of MT. Richmond, whose skill and compe- tence are in evidence at every turn in the camp and mines of the com. pany. Three shifts are now work ing on the A. c. Sweet claim, and the double compartment working shaft has now reached a depth of more than 130 feet, being tim bered in the best and most work manlike manner all the way down. This work will be prosecuted with vigor and important results are justly anticipated.
 As a result of the visit of these gentlemen to the camp, and the consequent grasp of the situation given them by inspection and in vestigation, an order has been placed by the officers of the com pany for a new and complete hoist ing plant which will be installed upon the Black Gap claim of the Mansfield, one of the most i'm portant and promising properties owned by the company; and as soon as the machinery is in oper- ation important developments may be expected to occur in thatquarter. Thursday meeting of the officers and directors of the corporation was held at Tucson, where the outlines and plans for a sElelter and tramway were discussed.
 The Mansfield development is creating favorable comment, and every visitor to the Wrightson district is agreeably surprised at the results accomplished in so short a time. (Which bears out a theory long held by THE OASIS, whose editor has known the ground for years and has frequently pre- dicted that it would one day be the seat of great mining industry, as it bore all the geological indica- tions of great mineral possibili- ities.) The company has an abun- dance of money to carry out the extensive work protected, which is

District Court.

| furSuant to recess the district court convened Tuesday morning to dispose of number of motions and rulings in cases not ready for disposition at the October session of the present week, being a con. tinuation of that term. Judge Fletcher M. Doan presided.
 The first case taken up was that of Mrs. F. l.. Butterfield ct al vs. Nogales Copper Company, ct al., (more generally known as "the Cerro Prieto case" which came up for argument on a motion by the plaintiffs for new trial, Selim NJ Franklin appearing for the plain tiffs and Eugene $. Ives for the de- fence. The rnotion was denied and Mir. Franklin gave notice of appeal to the supreme court. MT. Ives gave notice also of an appeal on behalf of w. F. Chenoweth from a judgment in the case grant, ed against him as one of the de- fendants. Both parties were granted twenty days after adjourn ment of the October term of court to reduce to writing their bills of exceptions and submit them to the judge.
 In the case of Bonynge vs. Des- sart ct al, defendants, represented by Mir. Franklin, were granted twenty days after adjournment of this October term of court in which to reduce to writing their bill of exceptions and submit the same to the Judge.
 In the case of the Worlds Fair Mining Co.,, vs Frank Powers and Josephine Powers, tried by a jury at the April term of court, with veredict for defendants. and a mo- tion for a new trial having been argued in chambers, and submit ted on briefs, the court entered an order granting the new trial asked.
 The case of George w. Atkinson vs. the Southern Pacific Company, involving the killing of some cat tie which had got upon the right of way of the defendant corpora ton, which was tried in October and submitted on briefs, the Court rendered a decision granting judg- ment for defendant corporation in costs.
 In chambers Judge Doan rem dered decision in the habeas cor pus proceedings of Lee Kim Fong (Sam Lee), denying the writ asked by petitioner, and remanding him to the custody of the Immigration officers of the general government. The gist of the decision was that under the law habeas corpus pro- ceedings do not lie at this time; that the law gives the Immigration Bureau exclusive control of such cases, with the right of appeal to the Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor.
 There being no further business for consideration the court was ordered to stand at recess until date to be determined by the judge at sometime hereafter, when the final adjournment of the October term will be ordered.

LOOSE TEETH

All we need is to eat the right kind
of food slowly, chewing it velour
digestive organs take it up into the
blood and the blood carries it all
through the body, to every little nook
and corner.

THE HOUSE THAT BAKER BUILT.
CHAPTER II.

During the last few years there has
been an extraordinary increase in the
use of the different food preparations
made from cocoa and chocolate. In
1860 the amount of crude cocoa i'm
ported into this country for home
consumption was only three-fifths OF
an ounce for each inhabitant. The
amount imported at this time is near
ly 16 ounces for each inhabitant.
Five years ago the United States
stood fifth among the nations in the
amount used; it now stands first with
a long lead. This is due largely to
the high quality of the goods put out
by the Walter Baker Company and
to the attractive literature diSsen'
mated by them all over the country,
showing the food value Of cocoa when
properly made. Much depends upon
the making. Good cocoa beans may
be treated in a way to make the
product unwholesome and unpala-
table. The Walter Baker goods have
behind them 1876 years Of successful
manufacturing.

UNIQUE FIGURE IN HISTORY
Mark Twain Says Joan Of Arc
Stands Alone in Story Of
World.

In Harpers Magazine for December
Mark Twain, who has recently made q
thorough study of the original docu-
ments bearing on the life of Joan of Arc,
pays a wonderful tribute to this slight
girl, whom he calls by far the most ex-
traordinary person the human race has
ever produced:
"All the rules fail in this girls case
In the world history she stands alone
quite alone. Others have been great In
their first public exhibitions of general
ship, valor, legal talent, diplomacy, for
titude; but always their previous years
and associations had been in a larger
and smaller degree a preparation for
these things. There have been no ex-
ceptions to the rule. But Joan was COM
petent in law case at Is without ever
having seen a law book or a courthouse
before; she had no training in soldier
ship and no associations with it, yet
she was competent general in her first
campaign; she was brave in her first
battle, yet her courage had had no edu-
cation-nOt even the education which a
boys courage gets from never-ceasing
reminders that it is not permissible in a
boy to be coward, but only in girl;
friendless, alone, ignorant, in the bosom
of her youth, she sat week after week a
prisoner in chains, before her assem-
blage of judges, enemies hunting her to
her death, the ablest minds of France,
and answered them out of an untaught
wisdom which overmatched their learn
ing batfled their tricks and treacheries
with native sagacity which compelled
their wonder, and scored every day a
victory against these incredible odds
and camped unchallenged on the field.
In the history of the human intellect,
unframed, inexperienced, and using
only its birthright equipment of untried
capacity, there is nothing which ap-
proaches this. Joan of Arc stands alone,
and must continue to stand alone, by
reason of the unfellowed fact that in the
things wherein she was great she was so
without shade or suggestion of help from
preparatory teaching, practice or en-
vironment."

all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q

In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many OF them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods OF
all kinds; so, If we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
