Last week TnE OAsIs made mem ton of the Estrella Mining & Smelling Co.'s affairs, which were in process of adjustment. Since that time the titles have been strengthened out, and the company has good title to all of it's ground, consisting of about forty pertenen- cias. As stated last week reorgan- ization of the American corpora tion has been completed, and now all that remains is a meeting of the Mexican holding corporation for reorganization of that and some other small details. Those will be accomplished within two weeks, when everything will be in shape for financing the enterprise, and as soon as that is done the work of development will be commenced in earnest and in good faith. Ar engagements are almost completed for financing the company, and will he finished very shortly. The company has a very promising gold property which is about thirty-five miles eastward from Querobabi, on the road to Las Chispas. It is anticipated that it will be among the producing mines of Sonora within a very few months.
 About nine miles southeast from Llano station, lying between the camp of the Sonora Copper Com pany and that of the Calumet & Sonora Copper Company is the seat of operations of the Caracahui Mountain Copper Company, which Is developing fine property and making very satisfactory show ing. The company includes a num- Der of prominent Kansas City business men and investors. who have put their money into the en- terprise in good faith, and are very we'll pleased with the fattering re- suits attained. The holdings en- brace fifty pertenencias of excellent mining ground in which there are no less than eight parallel veins that all may be cut within dis tance of 250 feet. At the present time there have been accomplished about 450 feet of work, including a good working shaft and several hundred feet of drifting, with which there have been developed considerable high grade copper ore, including red oxides and carbonates of copper, with some copper glance from which samples assayed have run from 2O% to 45%o copper. A shipment of about sixty tons of ore sent to Fundicion yielded net re- turn of $14.70 per ton, and that calculating copper at nine cents per pound. A new hoist has been ordered, and as soon as installed sinking will be pushed vigorously.

JUDGE CREATES
BIG SENSATION
HOLDS HOMESTEADERS MUST
SPEAK ENGLISH
Half Dozen Naturalization Cases Are
Thrown Out in Federal Court
at Denver by Judge
Lewis

By Associated Press.
DENVER, Aug. "A sensation was
created in the federal court today
when Judge Lewis passed a new ruling
when throwing out half dozen nat
uralization cases, in which he held that
foreign person must speak the Eng
lish language before he can hold
clear title to homestead.
Il cannot allow final papers to be
given" said the court, where the
party seeking the same is unable to
speak the English language. He can
not understand the laws of this coun-
try, its constitution, nor any of it's
acts that go to make citizenship. He
may prove homestead upon land, but
he must read and write English be-
fore he can secure his final papers and
come before this court with a native
born citizen who can swear he has
known the subject for a period of five
years"
The decision will result in invaIidat-
ing hundreds of claims in the state,
and 1t Is said was made in accordance
with rulings and protests from the nat
uralization office that too many per-
sons were being admitted as citizens
who were sadly deficient.

TOTAL NUMBER OF DEAD
MAY REACH -FOUR HUNDRED

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. S.--This
city awoke to a full sense of the COM
pleteness of the destruction around
Fernie this morning.
According to a competent authority
death list total never will be known.
1t is now believed that at least 200
have perished.
Specials received by underwriters
this morning say that Hosmer and
Michel have been burned. At tho
former place the Canadian Pacific rail-
ways new coal tipple Is valued at a
quarter of a million.
Vancouver wired $4,000 for relief yes

Loggers to the number of eighty in

have perished in the flames and several
settlers with their families who lived
on the line of the railroad between
Fernie and Michel have disappeared.
The death total will probably grow
larger and special wire from Winni-
peg declares that 1t will reach 400.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 3.-Eleven
of the eighteen so-called "Heney in
dictments," in connection with land
frauds alleged to have been committed
in this state, were dismissed today by
the government.
Others, it was also stated would
also be dismissed, but at fact some

others than those affecting the ex-
congressman will come to trial.
Those cases not dismissed today
We're set for trial in the September
term of the federal court, with the
exception of the Hermann case,
which was set for trial November 8,
and the Williamson cases, which 1t is
understood will follow Immediately
after the Hermann trial. Previous

him with perjury had been withdrawn,

Judge Wolverton said that it appeared
that the defendant had acted hastily.

the officers have been seeking several
days.
The outlaws followed the Pierce City

The desperadoes opened fire and
drove, young Car and Craig to cover.
Shots were heard by Dan Carr, father
of young Carr, and he, with a Win

Telephone messages from Orofino had

TWELVE PODIES FOUND
IN RUINS AT FERNIE

message received this afternoon from
Fernie, b. c., says that twelve bodies
have been found among the ruins.
Fears are expressed for the safety of
100 other persons, although many of
the missing may merely have become
separated from their friends in the ex-
element and confusion of a general
confiagration. 1t is the general opin-
ion this evening that the casualty list
as announced yesterday and repeated
today was greatly exaggerated.
Last night Thomas Biggs, secretary
OF the Fernie miners union, wired to
this city that he believed 40 persons
had been burned todeath. Late this
afternoon the Associated Press corre-
spondent at Nelson, after interviewing
many refugees from the burned city,
wired the deaths win not exceed a
score. He adds that the report that
sixty men and several women per-
