INVESTORS SAFE IN MEXICO.
American In Mexico Says Diaz Will
 Veto New Law Covering Mining.

J. R. Gordon of Mexico City has written an open letter to people in Maricopa county, who have recent ly expressed alarm to him that the mining interests of Americans in Mexico may suffer in the new min ing law, recently framed, if per mitted to get on the statute books. Gordon in his letter has the fol- lowing to say:
 Having been in public life so long in Mexico, I am deluged with letters from Americans regarding the proposed antiforeign mining law, and among them find inquiries from several people in Maricopa county; therefore will ask you to publish a statement, setting forth the true facts for the benefit of your readers.
 "The bill will not pass, because the Mexican cabinet knows full we'll that President Diaz would veto bill so unjust to Americans who have millions in the Mexican n mines.
 "The minister of fomento, the chief instigator of the bill, has re- signed from the Mexican cabinet on account of the friction which the proposed bill engendered be- tween himself and President Diaz. The president and the better class of Mexicans value too highly the friendship of the Americans to jeopardize the holdings of United States citizens.
 ''In fact, there is no country in the civilized world in which better protection is afforded to lawabid- Ing foreigners. This fact has been demonstrated by the large number of Americans who have accumulat- ed fortunes during the past twenty five years in Mexican gold mines.
 "The iabulQus wealth of the mines has impressed me more than else.in Mexico, excepting the magnificent churches and the Ruins of Mitla.'
 I have talked to a score of Amer cans here, each of whom has made l fortune by investing q few dol ars in we'll developed gold mine.
 The opportunities for profitable Investments here are wonderful"

Peace Prospects.

At Hermosillo Thursday morn ing The Oasis editor called on General Luis 2. Torres, governor of the state of Sonora, who had re- turned on the preceding day from Torin, in the Yaqui delta, where the leaders of the Yaqui Indians are gathered in negotiation with { the state authorities looking to framing a treaty of peace; and the general gave quite ali extended i'm terview. In substance General Torres said:
 "I have been at Torin more than a week engaged in negotiation with the Yaquis, carrying on the work inaugurated and conducted SO suc- cessfully by ex-Governor Yzabal, to which 1 turned my attention immediately upon my return from Europe. We have been holding and are holding daily conferences with the Yaqui chiefs, chieftains and leaders, and discussing frankly with them the entire situation They seem keenly alive to the con- dition of affairs, and apparently they have grasped the central idea that unless there is a permanent and lasting peace here in Sonora, ultimate and final annihilation of their tribe is inevitable. no matter how many depredations they com init nor how long they protract the struggle. They seem to realize that the great progressive admins tration of the republic of Mexico cannot and will not permit a band of hostile savages to lay waste long one of the fairest portions of It's magnificent domain, and that it will devote all of it's energies to a correction of the evil that they have inflicted and to remove the menace of their continued exist ence in a hostile attitude. They ] seem to grasp the fact that it will be better for all to have peace; and | I believe now that we can an- nounce shortly that the authorities of Sonora and the Yaquis have agreed upon, and cemented firm and lasting friendship"
 The Oasis is pleased to give to he public this interview with Gov ernor Torres, and trusts that he will realize all he hopes. But we cannot forget that he is dealing with Indians.

 The meeting was most harmon ious and great deal of business for the welfare of :he company, was transacted. Professor Jansen resigned the office of treasurer, and John E. Magee, secretary of the company, was unanimouly elected his successor, and in future will hold both responsible positions.
 Among the business transacted at the directors meeting, was the abolishment of the Los Angeles of flee, and hereafter all company business will be transacted at the to vigorously push exploration and development work at the mine, under the able direction of Super intendent Ross, who is a thorough mining man and one of the principal stockholders of the company.
 Captain McGee is president, Prof Jansen, vice president, and John E. Magee, secretary and treasurer of the company.
 The Otate gold mine owned by Fl Otate Gold Mining Company, is situated east of Llano, Sonora, Mexico. It is very old mine. having been worked many years ago by the natives. Superinten- dent Ross has for some time past been working the mine, which is proving even better than he and his associates believed. Recently a large body of high grade ore was encountered, some of which assay ed several hundred dollars to the ton, and MT. Ross states that he is certain Fl Otate will develop into a big bonanza.
 Thursday morning NIT. Ross, who was accompanied by his wife. re- turned to Llano, thence to the mine, taking with him lot of camp and mine supplies purchased here on Wednesday.
 President McGee, who with his wife now makes Nogales his head quarters, is very enthusiastic over the future of Otate, and in a few days will go down to the mine.

THE IDEAL POULTRY HOUSE.

The ideal poultry house is difficult TO
describe. There seems to be nothing
about the poultry business In regard to
which there is wider difference OF
opinion than on this point. 1t seems to
be the general opinion that the type
of house is not very important so long
as it Is dry, well ventilated. and the
fowls have plenty of the proper kind
Of food Food is the essential thing, and
of course certain foods are much bet
ter than others. \. NJ. Brown of North
Rochester, Mass, gives his opinion on
this particular point in the following let
ter. He says: Il have fed nearly all
the poultry foods on the market but
not with such returns as Pages Per-
fected Poultry Food gives. My hens
