A Dastardly Outrage.

The Tucson Citizen of last Fri day had the following item that will be read with no small degree of interest by all readers of THE OASIS:
 A mining man who arrived in Tucson today from the Santa Ritas brought news that dynamiters completely wrecked the fine log cabin which Al Johns, veteran prospector, had erected in Madeira Can yOn in the Santa Rita mountains. This cabin was constructed of large pine logs which Johns had hewed out and dragged down the mountain to the site for his home. The cabin and its contents were valued at about $1 ,000.
 The dynalniting took place while Al Johns was confined in the Santa Cruz county jail on a charge of cattle stealing. His friends claim that the dastardly work was done by Johns enemies. In his trial for cattle stealing Johns made the plea that enemies were seeking to railroad him to the penitentiary in order that they might secure valuable mining claims which he holds in the Santa Rilas. The Santa Cruz county jury ac- quilted him on the charge of cattle stealing. When he returned to his mountain home, he found the dynamit- CTS had been ahead of him and only a mass of ruins remained of the structure.

A Deal In Cattle.

The Yuma correspondence of the Arizona Gazette presented recently the following item that is of real interest to readers of THE OASIS in that the gentleman figuring therein is a well known resident of Noga- les, MT. Aurelio Sandoval, who makes his headquarters in Los Angeles, where the we'll known house of P. Sandoval < Co.,, of No- gales, Sonora, in which he is a partner, has an office.
 The deputy collector of customs at this place has been advised from the Fl Paso office that Dr.. Reed, inspector of the bureau of animal industry, will arrive in Yuma May to inspect great cattle importation. A transfer involving from four to six hundred head of fine cattle was made last week by A. Sando- val of Los Angeles and Sonora to buyers from Salinas, California, all the parties being in Yuma at the present time. As soon as the government veterinary sur geon has examined the stock to ascertain that it is free from cattle ticks, splenetic or Texas fever and other contagious diseases, it will be crossed to this side of the line and delivered to the purchasers. This is the largest importation ever made at Yuma. The cattle, which are in prime condition and range in age from three to six years, comprise a small DOT tiOn of the immense herds owned by Mir. Sandoval, whose ranges in Sonora stretch almost from the American line to the gulf coast. His holdings cover l60,0 ,0OO acres. Among other interesting pos sessions, this descendant of the Spanish grandees owns the largest individual fishing concessions in the world along the western coast of Baja California ia grant of the Mexican governmentl. He, at the present time, furnishes various sorts of fish to Los Angeles and San Francisco markets, including Holsters, oysters and other shell fish. More than a hundred boats and two hundred fisher men are employed in this service and rl.e owner is contemplating arrange ments for the opening of fish cannery in Los Angeles. Another cannerv will be later started at the mouth of the Colorado. Enthusiastic Yuma boosters can reflect what this industry might mean to their city. It is further rumored that Mr. Sandoval is heading a party ot capitalists who intend to establish a year round resort on the gulf coast some. where near the mouth of the Colorado transportation to and from which point and Yuma would be by river. This would bring the refreshing salt breezes within a hundred miles of our denzens of the desert and southern California would no longer be the Mecca of all this section.
 SeTor Sandoval, whose family inter ests for generations have been identified with the state of Sonora, is an exponent of the best type of the old school Span lsh caballero, possessing the graciousnes and savior faire proyerbial in his class His present home is Los Angeles, wher, he will return as soon as this cattle dea is consummated.

state should extend the greatest well
come to the delegates for all parts
will benefit.
The mining exhibit which Mr.. Kapp
is preparing will bring to the attention
of the visitors the "lure' of the
various districts and it is highly i'm,
portant that it be well built.
Mining men everywhere are aiding
Mr.. Kapp in the good work which his
experience and aggressiveness is bound
to make great success and of in
estimable value to this state.
Humboldt is without doubt one of
the richest counties in mineral wealth
in the state said Mr.. Kapp, "and
your mining and business men shoul
see that you have an exhibit at the
congress that will do you justice.
"Today was invited to visit the
vaults of the First National bank and
inspect the National high-grade ores
stored there. 1t beats anything have
ever seen. Why, if we had that mine
down in our country there would have
been ten thousand men there months
ago. You people up here had better
look out, or some Of our hustlers will
come up here and move National down
to Goldfeld.''
Mr.. Kapp arrived in town Thursday
evening on No. and started out bright
and early yesterday morning to per-
feet local organization for the pur-
pose of securingg an exhibit for the
congress from Humboldt county. s.
W. Gundaker, president of the Nation
al Mining Company of Nevada was
named as chairman and James Ritchie
secretary. Mining men interviewed by
Mr.. Kapp were quick to see the bene-
fits to be derived from the movement
and will use their best endeavors TO
make Humboldt IS exhibit fairly repre-
sentative of the county's great mineral
wealth.

ening on No. g.

AFTER THE SCALP OF
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TILDEN

1t is stated that County Commission
er Charles Worden, who was recently
on trial at Goldfield on charge of de,
frauding the county, and another coun-
ty commissioner are after the scalp of
District Attorney August Tilden who
prosecuted Worden. 1t is the duty of
Tilden to begin suits for the collection
of delinquent taxes and to post bond
for twice the amount he is to collect
There is now about $4,000 to be col
lected and the county commissioners
have the privilege of naming his bond.
1t is claimed that Commissioner Wor-
den will endeavor to have the district
attorneys bond made so high that he
will be unable to secure it and will
have to resign. J. E. Davidson was
forced out of the office of district attor-
ney in Esmeralda county two years ago
by this means.

''The American Mining congress,
which convenes in Goldfield on Septem-
ber 9th, will be memorable meeting
and the delegates are going to look up
on the richest display Of ore ever
gazed upon by man. So spoke
Charles f. Kapp ON his arrival here
Thursday evening for the purpose of
securing specimens for the big exhibit
provided for by act of the last legis-
lature.
Mr.. Kapp, one of Goldfeld's most
prominent and enterprisingg citizens,
was selected by the board of mining
congress commissioners, consisting of
Thos. d. Murphy, Milton M. Detch and
H. C. Schmidt, to make the actual Sc
lection of prize rock, because he is a
hustler,' and thoroughly capable.
Mr.. Kapp assisted materially in get.
ting together the California mining ex-
hibit at the st. Louis fair
From every working mine in the
state undoubtedly come samples of the
richest rock. The organization under
appointment by Governor Dickerson
and engaged in building the exhibit,
is responsible in every way, and the
most valuable pieces of rock can be
entrusted to them with the assurance
that they will be returned if desired.
The exhibit-such part as is left after
the returns are made-will be moved
to Reno and made permanent at the
state university. Receipts are given
by Mr.. Kapp for all specimens secured
by him. He is also securing data re-
garding the mines and photographs of
the same to accompany the specimnes
on display.
The big congress is going to bring to
Nevada thousand men prominent in
all parts of the United States as min
ing men. 1t is obvious that their com.
ing into this state and the examination
of various properties which will GER
tainly follow is certain to bring more
