A SWEEPING ORDER.

Last week TIE OASIS stated cur sorily that information had been received that the federal govern ment of Mexico had ordered the various mining agencies in the state of Sonora to cease accepting Announcements of mineral lands by foreigners, and suspend pro- ceedings in all cases pending.
 It seemed incredible that so sweeping an order should have been issued, and this journal pre- ferred receiving the information from an official source before giv- ing the matter more than casual mention; and for that reason await ed an opportunity to have a rep resentative call at some federal mineral agency in Sonora before attempting to give details from hearsay. Monday of the present week THE OASIS editor called at the mineral agency at Hermosillo and wts given copy ofthe official order, which latter is on file there. Following is translation:
 Department of Fomento, third section Owing to complaints hav- ing heen made by some foreigners to whom titles have been granted 10 exploit mines in the state of Sonora and the northern district of Lower California that they do not enjoy security and protection to work their properties and hav- ing slandered the respective autho rities in that they do not extend them protection, the president of the Republic has ordered that for the present and until further or ders there shall not be admitted in the mine agencies of the same states and districts, applications to ac- quire mines that may be presented BY foreigners. This I communi- cate to you to the end that you do not admit any application what soever presented by foreigners for mines within the jurisdiction of your agency; at the same time you must suspend further action in all applications that come within this ruling. You will acknowledge re- ceipt of the present communication and advise that you have inform ed yourself of the same for its i'm mediate compliance. You must transmit to this department de- tailed statement of all applications refused by you as well as of those that you suspend which come un- der this ruling.
 By order of the acting secretary.

WORK NIGHTS
ON MARKET ST.

The Standard Bitulithic Company
has started working nights on Market
street. The company has made rapid
progress since the first excavating
was. made a little over month ago
and it is understood that every effort
will be made to complete the street
before the cold weather arrives.
About a week ago it was given out
that the men would work at night,
but on account of the recent rains it
was impossible to carry out the plan.
Last night, however, a large force
was at work, and nearby residents
could hear the sound of picks and the
rumbling of wagons during their
broken slumbers.
The night force will not work to-
night, but will continue the plan on
Monday. The entire street from DAY.
idson avenue to the park is now torn
up, and concrete is already laid on a
large portion.

WORK DONE BY

CLAIM NON UNION LABOR
Main Office Of Tea Company
Which Will Occupy the Place
Was Appealed To.

Last Monday two local union men
went into the Shipman building TO
watch some of the carpenter work
that was in progress. While they
were leaving the place, which is to be
occupied by the Atlantic & Pacific
Tea Company, Contractor Emil Koy-
EN- rebuked the men about interfering
with his work, and an argument re-
suited.
1t is said that some non-union men
were employed putting up some
shelving and that caused the troitble.
The manager of the tea store was
consulted and told TO discharge the
non-union carpenters Tuesday. He
refused and the labor men 'at once
communicated with the main Office of
the company in New York, and asked
that the men be told to stop work
According to the labor men, the COM
pany gave the necessary orders at
once, and yesterday the two non-un-
ion men employed by Contractor Koy-
en- were discharged, it is declared.
The labor men then installed two un-
ion men, after the work of the non
union men was torn down.
"The work that the two non-union
men did in two and half days has
been rebuilt by our union men in just
one day." said one of the local dele
gates this morning, and we are now
satisfied with the result of our trou-
ble.'
1t is understood that the complica-
tions may yet cause additional trou-
