to that place for the hearing in that court. Whether the result can be received at Nogales in time for this issue of THE OASIS is a question. If anything comes it will appear upon another page.
 Upon very credible authority 1t is stated that the criminal prosecu- ton against Pellegrin has brought about one good result; and that has been to force him to deed over to to the wife he had deserted their home in Nogales, Arizona, and to sign contract to pay her monthly allowance. It is related that Mrs. Pelegrin, who has been with her daughter at Magdalena, had been indnced to come to Nogales, and served with subpGn@ to appear as a witness and testify that she was legally married to the defend ant, which will be necessary to prove as laying a foundation for proof of adultery. Under the sta tute one of the parties to the offence has to be a married person to make stick the offence charged. There can be no better proof than the wife so testifying. But when the defence realized that Mrs. Pellegrin would appear to testify with regard to that, they "got busy" at once, and made over lures to the lady to fail to appear. In the conferences Mrs. Pel- legrin, it is alleged, was represented Mir. Gonzales, a Magdalena at torney, who is her son-in-law, and is represented as being a very bright young man, who knows few things, and who drove a hard bargain. At o'clock, Monday morning, it ssaid, Pellegrin signed and acknowledged the deed and contract, spiking that gun of the prosecution, leaving the district attorney to prove in the best way he can the marriage between the defendant and his lawfully welded wife. So that is one benefit that has accrued from the proceedings instituted.

has been encountered, but how much of it there is has not been determined. The shaft on the h. dependence claim is now down fifty feet, in ore that assays $8 32 When the shaft has acquired suffic- tent depth it will be connected by crosscut with the 120 foot level of the main work shaft. The mill is now working two shifts.
 The tunnel at the American Boy is now in 250 feet, with about twenty-five feet yet to go to cut the vein. If the owners, Clark, Cane and Baack, are lucky enough to strike the same class of ore as they have in the bottom of the eighteen foot shaft, under which the tunnel is being run, they will have some thing of bonanza. They expect to cut the vein about the first of the month. They have a large American flag to raise on the mountain peak the day the vein Is cut. The Am erican Roy is on the east extension of the vein on which the Leek- Mcdonald mine is located.
 A. l.. Cane and Harold Cane, who have been prospecting the Bonanza King, adjoining the Amer ican Boy, now have the shaft down thirty feet and have a good lead of lead, silver and copper ore.
 Work on the Mansfield smelter, eight miles west of town, is being rushed this month, in an effort to have 1t completed by the first oi Jnly. If custom work Is taken al the shelter, and it probably will be, it will benefit a number oi prospects in that vicinity. The smelter will be of thirty ton capa. city and will probably be blown in sometime next month.
 The burros are working overtime these days packing in ore from The Leek- Mcdonald copper mine, fol shipment to El Paso. The ore is being taken out of the first level.

The Yaqul and Mayo Region.

BIsBEE, June 15.-Col. D. H. Johnson stopped off in Bisbee last night on his way home from trip of two weeks spent in the states of Sonora and Sinaloa in the Yaqui and Mayo valleys. Col. Johnson has extensive interests in these valleys. He said last evening that there is a wonderful future for this country within few years. They are fertile and with less than or dinary tilling will yield enormous profits in agricultural pursuits. The building of the Hartman lines there means incalculable prosperity to both of these valleys. Bishop Merrill of St. David is at present located in the Mayo valley with a party of Mormons.
 Col, Johnson stopped over here last night to attend the Democratic celebration.

horse had not been outside of his corral all day. With all that kind of evidence the lawyer the lad { he was only seventeen years old) had employed, could not lay the foun- dation to get it before the jury; it was ruled out, and the boy was convicted. Then the lawyer de- lending CD him did not know enough to move for new trial or give notice of appeal, and when his friends were informed of the situa- ton the time for notice of appeal had lapsed, and the boy was in the penitentiary with the door closed. Then his friends set about getting pardon, and several essayed securing one, but none of them seemed to know how to work. A few months ago Colonel Bird of THE OASIS, took the matter in hand, and found what was necessary. Going to Cochise county he gath cred the evidence, presented it to the jurors, and Judge Doan, got their recommendation for pardon, and the rest was easy.

An Act of Justice.

Yesterday evening there returned
 home from Yuma MT. William
 Gourdin, q young man born and
 raised in Nogales, who was par doned from the penitentiary Tues day and released Thursday, after serving nearly four years of a sen- tence of ten years for an offence of which he wolld have never been convicted had he been defended
 properly at his trial. It was possi-
 ble to have proved a complete alibi and when the case was brought to attention of Governor Kibbey and the Board of Control with the evidence that should have been pre- sented at the trial, the granting of the pardon was the matter of only few days. The offence charged was highway robbery. In Septem- Der, 1904. a vegetable pedder was held up in the Middle Pass of the Dragoon mountains, in Cochise county, and robbed by two men masked and riding horseback. He identified Gourdin as one of the men, and a certain blue roan horse owned by one Marrujo, at Black Diamond, as having been his mount. Gourdin had witnesses in count to prove that he was near Black Diamond at the time of the robbery and returned to the place within an hour after the robbery occurred, which he could not have done had he been at the scene oi the crime; while Marruio was put on the stand to prove that his

MAKING ANOTHER EFFORT
Adultery Case Against A. |. PeIIegrin Dismissed Owing to Defect in the Record. Defendant Arrested Again.

Monday morning at 10 o'clock the case of A. L. Pellegrin, charged with adultery, and sent to the justices court at Tubac on change of venue, was taken up by Justice Black of that precinct, and dispos- ed of in very short order, on ac- count of Q serious defect in the papers sent up from Nogales pre- cinet by Justice Gildea.
 At the time appointed the de- fendant and his attorney, Mir. s. F.. Noon Esq, appeared before Judge Black, District Attorney w. A. O'Connor appearing for the terri tory. With a moments scrutiny of the papers in the case Attorney Noon discovered two material de- fleets in the transcript of proceed ings in Justice Gildea's court, one of them decidedly y fatal; and on those defects he moved dismissal of the case. The first error was a state ment in the transcript to the effect that the defendant had been arrest ed upon a complaint by J. B. Moore, when the complaint showed upon it's face that it had been lodged by G. P. Lopez. And then Justice Gildea had transmitted the papers without certifying to the transcript of proceedings, which is reqired by law. That fact being in direct evidence MT. Moons mo- tion was granted, the case dismissed and the defendants bond released
 Returning to Nogales proceed ings were instituted against the accused, and a new warrant for his arrest was sworn out by MT. Bristol. The warrant was served Tuesday, and the accused appeared and gave bond, asking also for the statutory change of venue. Wednesday the change of venue was granted and the case sent to Justice NJ. M Trickey in Washington Precinct.
 Thursday word was received from Justice Trickey setting the hearing of the case yesterday morn ing at 10 o'clock; and early yester- day morning the district attorney Judge w. A. O'Connor, with his witnesses, and the accused with his attorney, Mir. s. F. Noon, went over

SOMETHING DOING"
..The Oasis" Correspondent Tells of More Busy Camps in the Patago- nis Rich Mining Region.

PATAGONIA, June 1S.-This week a boiler and hoist was hauled to the ARed Cloud group of claims and are Anow being put in place. The Red SCloud is owned by Dan Hampton, who has prospected the property flor the past two years. A number of test shafts and tunnels have been sunk and driven at different places along the outcropping, which is a large one, walled on either side with diorite. The ledge matter is pretty thoroughly copper stained and there are streaks of copper ore running through 1t. The property has been bonded hy G. H. Ferry, the New York millionaire mining man, who is prospecting the Oar \ ing, Eureka and other properties. 8 As soon as the hoist is in place { sinking will be commenced, with I two drifts. The Red Cloud is in the vicinity of the Worlds Fair and the Flux mines.
 Another interesting group of claims in that vicinity Is the White Oaks group, owned by Robert Daily, Frank Nugent, John Brown and Samuel Greenwood. Most of the work on the latter group has been done in Alum gulch, where they have an incline shaft 35 feet deep on one of the claims and a tunnel in 100 feet on another claim. From the tunnel they are now running a crosscut to strike another lead forty feet north. Surface samples taken on one of the claims gave a gold assay of over forty dollars, but the leads where the work is being done are copper.
 The owners of the Elevation group of claims, about three and a half miles east of town, expect to cut the vein in tunnel they are running, in a week or so. There are six claims in the group, owned by F. R. McAlister, John Johnson and Peter Hanson. A crosscut tunnel was driven in to cut the vein well up on the mountain side, In which considerable work was done. The workers, apparently, got lost for a while when the tun- nel got into the hill some distance, and ran wild. For some distance the tunnel "wiggles" about. then finally makes a half loop and butts into the vein, cutting through "A feet of quartz, streaked with cop per ore. It is good looking rock, such as would tempt almost any man to go deeper. They are now working in tunnel further down the hillside. The latter tunnel is now in 630 feet, and the prospect orS expect to strike the vein in a short time. This tunnel will give them a depth of 400 feet at the vein
