The Ysqui Complication.

At Hermosillo Thursday and yesterday THE OASIS editor was able to learn but little in addition to that printed on another paca with regard to the rupture of nego. tiations for peace with the Yaouis The air was filled with rumors bnt there was little real information to be gathered. But there seems no doubt that negotiations have ter. minated and hostilities have been resumed. It is reported that an engagement occurred on the 9tb but no details had been received in Hermosillo up to noon of yester. day.
 It is supposed that the rupture of negotiations results from refusal of the authorities to accept the proposition of the Yaquis that in delivering their arms the Yaouis should be paid for them. However true the report the Yaquis had withdrawn from the place where negotiations were pending, in the Bacatete mountains, and on the 10th inst. they were not at the meeting set for signing a treaty formally. It is reported that on the 9th the Yaquis notified the Mexican commissioners that nego- tiations were at an end, and that at evening they opened fire on the troops, and broke through the cordon that had been drawn around them, escaping to the mountains.
 The disheartening news has cast a gloom all over Sonora, for the changed situation defers that sea- son of prosperity that seemed dawning with peace assured.

GINNING circles in the City of Mexico" relates a recent press tele- gram, "are agitated over proposal to introduce into the federal con- gress bill to prohibit operation of mines within Mexico by foreign companies" Why there should be any agitation in the matter passes comprehension. Most of the cor porations operating within the re- public are Mexican corporations. Their stock may be held by foreign companies, but the corporations are creatures of the law of the land, and as such subject to all the binding force of those laws.

recently that the Secretary of the Interior has sustained the adverse report Of the Surveyor General of Arizona upon the Baca Float grant. Ever since the American occupa- tion or nearly sol the settlers along that valley have been fighting fraudulent grants. First they waged battle against the Calabasas grant which conflict lasted many years. When that grant was nullifed by the land court, and sustained by the U. s. supreme court, then sprang up the Baca float to torment them. Practically the latter is disposed of now. If the grant claimants can get their claim into the courts they may be able to keep up the fight there a number of years, but it is considered hardly probable that they will do so. It is believed that the filings suspended several years ago will be restored now, and that settlers can obtain patents for their land. In that case but few weeks will have elapsed before final proofs will be made and settlers will have their final receipts. And that will add to the tax roll of Santa Cruz coun- ty a considerable amount of tax able property.
 In the happy culmination of the investigation of the Bacca Float there is great credit due Major Frank $. Ingalls,, surveyor general of Arizona, who conducted the in- vestigation on the ground, accumu- lating a mass of irrefragable testi- mony that went completely to the point and demolished the assertion of the grant claimants that the re- zion embraced in the grant was not known to be mineral at the time the grant was made. Major In gals proved that there were exten- sive mining operations in hand there at that time.

CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES.

The discovery has been made that the new Aldrich- reeland emergency currency measure does not prohibit the use of clearing house certificates, in time of finan- cial emergency; and unless there is adopted at the next session of Congress an amendment to the new law which will prohibit their issue, or tax it so that prohibition will be the practical result, there will be but little use for the emer- gency currency in time of financial stringency, for under the law that will be taxed. If clearing house certificates untaxed can be made to fill the breach, why should banks issue taxed bank notes to accomplish what has been done by the certificates? So, as in much previous legislation, the remedy that was intended to meet an evil, will require tinkering before it accom- plishes the end desired.
 Almost simultaneously with the discovery mentioned comes the pub lication of a compilation of the issue of clearing house certificates, made by the New York Clearing House, that throws considerable light upon the condition of fnan- cial affairs during the depression and makes very interesting reading.
 The public will be particularly Interested in the number of cities that used some portion of their issues as currency. Not all of them, in fact only a minority did this The employment of the Clearing House certificates was as rule re- stricted to its original and natural function-that of settling balances between the banks at the clearing houses. However, of the fifty cities ancluded in the New York Clearing Houses fgures-all but four, and they of minor consequence, of which it made inquiry having been heard from-twenty-one did em-
