Mrs. Turner reports a very nice

Important Notice to the Public.

This company, which owns the Ryall and Mix mining concessions on the Yaqui river, has begun an active campaign of exploration and development of it's property. The program of the work contemplated includes in its scope both the pros pecting of the territory covered by the concessions by parties employed by the company and the granting of permits, on a reasonable basis of royalty, to outsiders who may desire to carry on such exploration work and locate property within the territory controlled.
 The territory covered by the con cession includes everything between the Yaqui and Tecoripa rivers, and between the town of Cumaripa and line drawn east and west from the Mojonera del Guamuchil above San Antonio de Ia Huerta, and the Ojo de Agua above the town of Tecoripa on the Tecoripa river. The territory is located in the dis tricts of Ures, Hermosillo and Guaymas.
 The administration office of the company will be Fundicion. All communications, for the present, may be addressed to the company's secretary, w. P. Tucker.
 In view of the many communi- cations which the company has received from various persons rela- tive to Announcements which they have desired to make within the concessions, 1t has been decided to give to all those who have ex- pressed desire to make such loca- tions, because of the expense to which they have already been put, preferential opportunity to do so on a just basis. It will be neces- sarv in order to insure this privi- lege, to perfect arrangements with the company to that end at an early date.

A GREAT ENTERPRISE.

Considerable space is devoted this week to the great concession granted by the Mexican govern ment some time ago to Mir. George NJ Ryall of New York, for all the unappropriated mineral rights in great area of country in Sonora lying between the Yaqui and Te- coripa rivers.
 It is unnecessary to go into de- tails, for the first page article does that; but 1t is not amiss to take herein survey of the field of op- erations and the great possibilities Involved
 In the first place, the concession grants to Mr. Ryall and his assigns all the unappropriated mining rights in one of the greatest mineral regions on the face of the earth, a region famous in the history of lmining for the richness and pro- Effectiveness of its mines, and yet a region which, with all the remark able production of the past, is ad- mitted by all to be practically virgin.
 With the exclusive right to pros pect, develop and exploit the won derful mineral resources of that great region the concessionaire and his associates have in hand one oi the greatest enterprises of modern times. 1t is one of almost illimit- able possibilities. And 1t cannot fail in becoming an important fac tor in the industrial development of the great state across the border while it's returns will enrich all who are connected herewith.

BY RIGHT of discovery the votes of the Arizona delegates to the na- tional republican convention, along with the coon delegations from the South, belong to Senator Joseph Benson 'Foraker. THE OASIS is in position to say this without being in favor of his getting them.

WHILE THE OASIS believes that Senator Foraker has earned the Arizona delegation to the National republican convention, it believes it is none of the business of the Kelly syndicate of democratic news papers to butt into the question at all. Ii the Kelly's will leave re. publicans to settle their own affairs they would prove more satisfactory. But they seem to have become so accustomed to drawing republicans about by the nose in the statehood campaign, and in the fight against bullion tax, that they cannot re- frain from chipping i'm"

The Sonoita Club.

This week preliminary steps were taken to organize the Sonoita Club at Patagonia. At an in- formal meeting held Wednesday night a. membership list was started. Thursday the list was circulated and was signed by all approached. The organization will be made up of business men, min. ing men and ranchers of Patagonia and vicinity. The name of the Sonoita Club was suggested by Mr. T. A. Cox, United States deputy mineral surveyor, one of the pro- moters of the organization. A reg ular meeting, at which officers will be elected, will be held the first of the coming week.
 The object of the Sonoita Club is to give the outside world informa- tion in regard to the rich mineral and agricultural districts adjacent to Patagonia. An information bureau will be maintained by the club. Live news correspondence in regard to operations in the dis tricts covered by the organization will be furnished to the leading newspapers of the southwest and to mining and agricultural publi- cations throughout the United States.

NIGHT riders in Kentucky and Tennessee have destroyed the to- bacco crops upon thousands of acres of land, and have murdered and mutilated hundreds of men who persisted in raising tobacco in op- position to organizations created to limit production, destroying at the same time many warehouses and other property. One-third of the state of Kentucky is declared officially by the governor to be in a state of terror from the lawlessness of the perpetrators of the iniquities mentioned. That comes near to being anarchy.

Injured.

Baltimore Especial Two cars OF
the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Electric Railway Company,
while running at high speed. collid-
ed near Camp Parole, two miles from
Annapolis. about O'Clock p. M, and
were completely wrecked, the acci-
dent causing the death of eight per-
sons-six men, one woman and a
child.
The child was the three-year-old
daughter of VIM. q. Slaughter, gem
eral traffic manager Of the road. A
particular element of tragedy was
given to the affair by the fact that
the woman and two of the men were
evidently on their way to attend the
June ball at the Naval Acadamy, and
they presented, lying dead on sthe
track dressed in the attire of the
ballroom, sad suggestion of the
light and dark in human life, one in
stant full of happy anticipation of
an evening of dancing and Joyous
ness, the next brought face to face
with eternity, their pitiful bodies and
bloodstained faces to be gazed at with
compassion or idle curiosity, accord
ing to the nature of those who com
posed the crowd which quickly as
sembled.
The responsibility for the accident
has not been definitely determined,
but there was, 1t was stated, con-
fusion in the orders as to where the
cars should pass. The cars were both
specials, the down car from Balti-
more and the other from Annapolis,
which left at 7.45. The accident oc-
cured about 7.50. 1t is said that
orders had been issued for the Bal
timore car to wait at Best's gates,
three miles from Annapolis, where
there is long siding, but in some
way the orders were not received or
understood, and the car continued
towards Annapolis.
Just as the curve had been round
ed, in which the trees obscure the
view, the two cars dashed together,
and in a moment were lying on their
sides, the life dashed out of eight
of the passengers of the two cars
and both cars hopeless wrecks.
The accident was described by Mr..
William Harhesty, an eyewitness Of
the collision. He lives near Camp
Parole. and was at his home looking
toward the track when the collision
took place. He said that the cars
approached each other at high rate
of speed, but that the motormen, or
one of them, undoubtedly tried to
check his car, as the witness heard
the noise of the brake tightening.

Going After Big Game.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD. -
was made that
President Roosevelt would start in
April, 1909, for an extended hunt
ing trip in British East Africa. While
it has been known for sometime past
that the President has been contem-
plating such a trip, no confirmation
of the report was given until today.
1t is planned that early in April
President Roosevelt will sail, accom-
panied by his second son, Kermit,
and go direct to Africa. The Presl-
dent expects to spend one year on the
expedition and already good deal
of correspondence has taken place
preparatory to the arrangements for
the hunt. such as guides, transporta-
tion and subsistence supplies.
The President will carry with him
a full equipment of the, modern weap-
ons for killing large game and he
expects to bring home with him one
specimen of each of the species
abounding in that region. He in
tends to devote much time to the
study of African wild animals and
will study the habits of the beasts
in their homes.
