YAQUI DELTA NOTES.

The valley was favored with a good rain on the morning of the 14th. At Esperanza the gage showed precipitation of .S5 of an inch for the storm and 8.3 inches for the season.
 A fine lzzer surrey was added to the stable of the manager of the Richardson Construction Company at Esperanza this week. A brass mounted team harness accompanies the outfit.

 ing it. The correspondence shows
 nothing but a difference of opinion
 upon that point; and that is all
 there is to 1t. There was nothing corrupt in that, and all the harp. ing the Times can do will not suc- ceed in making the transaction appear at all corrupt.
 The facts are that the public service in Nogales, in all depart ments, Is cleaner and freer from graft than ever before in the history of the town and the exist ence of Santa Cruz county. One Of the greatest cleanouts of graft tor lncompetencv) as shown by the records of the custom house, was when this man Pellegrin was fired out from the United States assayership. The difference be- tween $17 400 in six months after he was removed, and $2S0O in the six months preceding his removal, speaks volumes in that regard. And the showing that has been made upon his assays of bullion, and the probable loss to individuals in that connection, have given the hint of great graft in some quar- ter Tn connection herewith. In no way that he can put 1t will Pellegrin escape the imputation of dishonesty in his assaying but by admitting incompetency. That is why the two Dromios are raising now the cry of graft" and assert ing sweeping charges against everyone. They are performing the cuttlefsh act, and seek to escape the consequences of the Dredicament in which they find themselves by clouding the water n which they swim.
 Since the foregoing was in type he Times has sprung the fact that here are three desks vacant in the ocal freight office on account of petty peculations. And that is the evidence of the sweeping assertion hat grating is rife everywhere in Nogales. Yet the entire loss in he depot is no greater probably han what Ish would have lost had ,n nnll pn1lo...... l. |. l-I1.

NEARING THE INSANE ASYLUM.

Every issue of the nondescript
 daily newspaper, which is a trav. esty upon the name of newspaper
 and disgrace to Nogales, shows
 the two, poor, narrow brained semi,idiotic Pellegrins, who are
 responsible for the existence of the
 witless thing, become more violent Tn their madness, and show them selves one remove nearer their natural habitat-the public insti- tuition at Phoenix which is con- ducted so efficiently and effectively by our genial fellow townsman, Doctor Ray Ferguson. In the papelucha that was turned from their tumble down press last Satur- day they were violently ugly toward the unfortunate a. t. bird who has derived some little sport and amusement from the congenial work Of showing up the defciences of the half witted assayer, and his more astute brother, to whom fits however the old Scotch saying: he's not a there" The particu- lar cause of their violence at that time was the article in THE OASIS recently showing up the lament able record that the assaver had shown In the United States assay office, and In some bullion assays that have come to the notice of this newspaper. To the facts that THE OASIS stated were given by good authority with reference to the government sssaying and the bullion assaying, the crazy idiots branded the 'unspeaka ble a. l.. bird" as "cur," a "liar," and sev- eral other very pretty epithets were applied to the said "unspeak- able a. t. bird."
 If there be anything that pleases THE OASIS man it is to receive attention like that from the box of monkeys on Morley avenue. He always enjoyed stirring up the animals, and has been given more enjoyment of that kind in stirring up the two half witted Pellegrins than he dreamed possible. And their performances give truth to the assertions of THE OASIS that the two worthies are not newspaper men, for that kind of journalism went out of vogue more than half century ago.
 Il is the truth which hurts always; and the truth printed about the government assaying and the bullion assaying is what

hurts the two chimpanzees, and
 causes their ridiculous antics. Now
 about the government assaying:
 TnE OASIS is informed very straight
 that the last six months that Pei.
 legrin was U. S. assayer the total
 amount of duties collected by the
 customs authorities upon lead
 returned by him in imported ores
 was only twenty-eight hundred
 dollars; while in the six months
 intervening since he was deprived
 of that work and it was sent else-
 where, the duties collected have
 reached the surprising sum of sew enteen thousand, four hundred dollars. No farther comment than that simple statement is necessary.
 It is proof irrefutable of his ineom- petence as an assayer, and 1t shows that the government must have been prevented collecting many thousand dollars rightfully its due during the six years his incom- potency was sloshing around in the office.
 And the bullion assaying again: MT. Ish will corroborate the state- ment of THE OASIS, and the other statement can be corroborated by those who know all about it. More than that THE OASIS knows where 1t can get abundant proof of several such transactions in bull lion assaying.
 And in general assaying THE OASIS can produce many proofs of the incompetency of this man Pellegrin. Only last Sunday we'll known young man told TIE OASIS editor in the presence of two witnesses, of his having had mine sale turned down on Pellegrin's assays, which averaged only $9 per ton. He got the pulp from Pelle- grin, had it assayed by Taylor, who reported Sl9 per ton. He sent some of the pulp to Bisbee, i and some to Los Angeles, where assays corresponded with those made by Taylor. On that showing he decision of the parties examin- ng the property was reversed, and he deal was consumma;ed. But Pellegrin's assay killed 1t for a lime. And THE OASIS can produce instances like that galore. It is having such facts brought to public attention that is setting crazy the wo worthies and putting them where they are nearing the insane Lsylum.

 On the 14th inst. MT. Harry Lindville, formerly assistant rear chairman of the surveying forces of the Cananea, Rio Yaqui & Paci- fic railroad, passed through Esper- anza en route to Los Angeles with a fine collection of valuable native rugs gathered with much care from the Mayo Indians.
 Dr. F. T. Hoagland, formerly of Philadelphia and later of La Colo rado, Sonora, has just decided to return to the latter place after four or five months service as physician in the hospital service of the Cana nea, Rio Yaqui & Pacific railroad. He was stationed at the Masiaca Front and is now spending few days at Esperanza as the guest of Dr. c. A. Wilson, of the Richard son Construction Company.
 MT. l.. c. Sinnard, secretary of the publicity committee of the Ma tional Irrigation Congress, spent five days last week examining the soil and general characteristics, as we'll as the irrigating works of the Richardson Construction Compa- ny. He reports magnificent soil, free from any indications of alkali, and a tract of fine land, unequalled by anything on the Pacific coast. Mir. sinnard was accompanied by an interpreter and committee of two Russians representing the thrifty Molokane sect, who have their eyes on the valley. The Russian committee, before leaving, expressed themselves as thorough ly satisfied with land, water and crop conditions in the valley, and stated that they would make fav- orable report to their brethren in Los Angeles. The committee took with them samples of the fruit, grains, etc., produced and now growing in the valley.
