BETTER DO ASSESSMENT WORK.

There has been agitated lately a proposition that Congress suspend by enactment for the present year the provision of the law requiring certain amount of assessment work to be done upon mining claims in order to hold them and 1t has been stated that such bill would be introduced and pressed to enactment in the shortest pos sible time. Yet in the very nature of the situation the proposition seems impossible of accomplish ment. It is true that such an enactment became law in 1898, and all assessment work that year was suspended by law. But it should not be forgotten that Congress sat in special session several weeks before the regular session began in December, was fully organized, :, framing legislation, and had time to consider the proposed measure and adopt it long before the time to do assessment work had arrived. Now conditions are decidedly diff ferent. The time in which the as- sessment work can be done in the
The oasis., 1907-12-07

current year expires with the last hour of the year, now only twenty four days away; and Congress has not yet completed organization. No legislation can be considered until the committees are announced and upon the work of framing them those having the power are busily engaged, the Speaker in the House and the party caucusses in the Senate making the arrange ments. It is reported that Speaker Cannon has stated that he will not be prepared to announce the House committees until the holiday recess will be close at hand. fthe report be true then there will not be time to put through any such legislation before the holiday recess begins; and when Congress convenes again after the recess the time in which the work must be done will have passed, and the enactment will be too late. Tn which event it is un- likely that such a bill will go through at all.
 Having some assessment work to do upon claims he holds Doctor A. l.. Gustetter, desiring to be sure about the matter, wired Hon. Mark Smith Thursday morning, asking an intimation of the probability of enactment of the proposed legisla- tion. In reply he received this telegram:
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. }, 1907. DR. A. L. GUsTETTER, Nogales.
 see no earthly prospect for ear ly passage of bills. MARK SMITH.
 So with that kind of imforma- tion direct from competent author ity the claim owner will be apt to go ahead and do his assessment work, without relying upon possible legislation from Congress after the time for doing it shall have passed.

INTERVIEWED at Santa Fe upon his return from Washington Gov ernor Curry of New Mexico de- clared Saturday that he believed it not advisable at this time for Arizona to present her claim to statehood" but should aid New Mexico to go into the Union now to have a free hand to help out Arizona for statehood at the next session of Congress. The New Mexico executive declares fear that with the two statehood bills before Congress at the same time, there might emerge another join ture measure. That probability was suggested by THE OASIS some weeks ago.

But delivery Is made In the stock market the manipulaiofs, by the operation of heavy capital and the capacity to conduct colos- sal operations by the very weight of that heavy capital, can rig the market go 1t is more dangerous and dishonest than the worst game of faro; and the old Louisiana lot tery, conducted openly, fairly and squarely, was gentleman's game alongside the great thievery of the game of stock manipulation. And the chicken dispute or dog fight while more brutal, is not near so dishonest as the race course; yet the latter is permitted; yea; en- couraged by legislation.
 While the lottery, the roulette wheel, faro, monte, coolo and all the others may drain some people of their money. they drain only those who play agains: them. The man who gamhles and his family are the only immediate sufferers. But the stock game and the game of futures in the wheat pit drain all the people whether they play against them or not. That Is ust what is the trouble with the country today. It has been the great game among the great gamblers that has drained all the money out of some banks, and created loss of confidence which has caused the people to drain their own money cut of others; yet other banks, fearful of being drained, and to protect from col lapse those which have suffered unite to refuse their own money to their depositors.
 The evil has become so glaring that remedies are being sought, and no doubt some measure of relief will be presented and adopted by Congress, now in session. Repre- resentative Hepburn of Iowa, is said to have prepared a till cal culated to correct the evil. He proposes to reach it by levying a heavy tax upon all stock trans actions, and probably all transac tions in futures in the wheat pit. While the details of the measure ara not known as yet, it would seem at first consideration that Mir. Hepburn's proposition has ]

A GOOD PROPOSITION.

With q strange inconsistency the American people have prohibited under severe restrictions some forms of gambling, yet have given the most abundant opportunity and the widest latitude to other and far more insidious, far more dangerous varieties. It Is a crimi- nal offence, subject to the severest pains and penalties to deal monte, faro, roulette or any one of dozen other devices that have been in- vented for the entertainment of the devotees of chance. And it is crim- inal also to play against such games. All the power of the gen. eral and local governments has been invoked to break up the lot tery game. No newspaper adver- tising lottery may circulate in the mails. When detected and convicted dealer in lottery tickets Is the subject of fine and imprison- ment. In the same way 1t Is crim- inal to conduct a cock fight, or even to attend one. Dog fights are tabooed also. Tn some of the in- stances cited-like dog and cock lighting, the motive of the prohi- bition is it's brutality; but in most cases the motive Is that if coun- tenanced and permitted the games drain the people so of their money.
 Yet the great game of stock gambling, which Is far worse than any lottery or banking game, is per- mitted to run unrestricted And dealing in futures in the wheat pit is more evil form of gambling than Is the roulette wheel. When one bets his money on the wheel he wagers simply that the ball will drop into q certain numbered division of the wheel, as the latter slows in its revolution; while the dealer bets it will not: but the man who buys wheat in May for Sep tember delivery bets simply that 1t will be dearer then than the price he is to pay; while the man who sells it bets that it will be cheaper. When time for delivery comes no wheat changes hands. The loser pays simply the difference on the day of delivery between the price that day and the price at which he bought or sold. The transaction is not so honest as that of the roulette wheel, for i'll the latter case the ball is in evidence, and it drops where 1t is bet it will drop, or it

The Commissioners have inaueurated a
campaign OF cleanliness. and this depart-

desired end. You will therefore fnstruct
the alley inspectors to observe the condi-
ton OF such back Yards as they NAV be
able to see from the, public alleys when
cleaning the latter. and II they find an ac-
cumulation OF refuse material scattered
about, or rank growth of weeds. they
must at once report such cases to me In
