which the person came to the United States. If he has been in the United States more than once, the year of his first arrival is to be stated.
 The inquiry whether naturalized or alien applies only to foreign born males 21 years of age and over. It does not apply to females, to foreign-born minors, or to any male born in the United States. If the person was born abroad, but has become full citizen either by taking out second or final papers of naturalization or through the naturalization of his parents while he was under the age of 21 years, the enumerator is to write "Na" (for naturalized). If he has de- clared his intention to become an American citizen and taken out his "frst papers," write "Pa."
 The inquiry as to the ability to speak English applies to all per sons 10 years of age or over. If English is spoken, the enumerator must write English" in the proper column. If the person enumerated is required, in such cases only, tC write out the name of the language spoken, as French, German, ItaI- ian, etc. If more than one Ian. guage is spoken by person, who however, does not speak English then the enumerator is to write tht name of that language which is his native language or mother tongue
 If he has taken no steps toward becoming an American citizen write Al" (for alien).

The Nacori Discovery.

Some weeks ago THE OASIS made mentioned of reported rich strike of gold rock made near Nacori, on the Rio Chico, in the northeastern part of the Alamos district of Sonora, a point about two days ride from the Yaqui river at La Dura, on the river division of the Cananea, Rio Yaqui & Pacific road. Until recently accounts of the rich find coming out have been meagre. Now it is learned that the great discovery was made by Carlos O.. Soto, Moctezuma, Sonora, some two months ago and was made on an immense dike 100 feet and over in width and which can be followed several miles across the country.
 The new find has been given the name of the "Con-Virginia." A great many locations have been made in that section.

q Disastrous Fire.

Wednesday night Nogales was visited by a very disastrous con- hagration which destroyed com pletely with all their contents the two story building on Morley avenue owned by Ramon Vasquez and occupied by the Rogers Candy Company, and the adjacent one story structure occupied by the Boston Clothing House incorpo- rated and owned by Dan Hagan of Los Angeles, California. When the alarm was given the fire had gained great headway, and when the fire department arrived on the scene the interiors of both places were all in flames. All that was possi- ble was to con6ne the fire to the two buildings and keep it from spreading to adjacent structures and from crossing Morley avenue, to which task the entire depart ment wrought heroically and ef- fectively. The intense heat scorched 1 the fronts of all the buildings, and broke all the plate glass across the street, in the stores of Ramon Vasquez, Nathan Leeker, the Lobby Saloon, w. H. Smiths jewelry store, c. T. Jones restaurant, Proto
 Brothers store, Dave Loeb's store and the store of MT. Karam. The water pressure was splendid anC the fire department worked splen' didly, with the result that the ain sought was gained-the fire wal confined to the original locations
 and all other property was saved
 but it required almost superhumar
 exertion to do 1t.
 The loss falls upon the Bostor
 store and the Rogers Candy Com
 pany with particular severity. MT
 Rogers loss is some $7 ,000 or $8, ,00I with $2500 insurance. The Bostol store suffered loss of about $25, 900 or $30,000, insured to abou one-third the amount. The los upon the buildings was no smal item, but it's extent and tn
 amount of insurance have not beeI
 learned at this time.
 Both the Nogales Fire Depart p ment and the Nogales Water Com 1 pany are Co be congratulated upo P the fact that they met the flu : measure of demand. The wate e pressure was splendid and tie dt partment used it to the best advar l tage. In both supply of water fo l fighting fires and in very elficier l fire department Nogales stand
 without rival in Arizona.

Progress of the New Railroad.

Sunday last THE OASIS man went down the Santa Cruz, as far as Tubac, passing the grade of the new Tucson x Nogales railroad, and noting the progress of the work.
 At that time the end of the grade was on the Andrade ranche, which is about nine miles north from Calabasas, so there remained then about nine miles of grading to be completed The brush and stump clearing gang was about half mile ahead of the grade.
 One of the grading camps was in the Andrade place, and on that day the other was moving from point opposite the river from Tubac to the old Palo Parade settlement, on the opposite side of the river from the old Tumacacori mission, but a little higher up-and at point about six miles from Gala basas.
 The end of track was at the Kaphan place, about two miles be- low Tubac. At the latter place it was stated that the work of laying rails would be resumed Monday morning, and that in all probabili- ty they will be in the vicinity of the present end of the grade by the end of this week. If that report was correct, there remain now but nine miles of track to be laid to reach the junction with the N. M |. < A. railway at Calabasas. Upon good authority it is report ed that the station for the Tubac region will be located on the place of Judge J. F. Black, about a mile
 up the river from the town, and on the east side of the stream, which side the railway follows all the , way. Another station is to be established upon Owen Walkers place, about five miles from Gala basas. There is extant a rumor
 that the Calabasas station is to be } moved to the place of Ralph Me- Corkle, on the west side of the I river, and that will be the station
 in that region for both the Benson l and Tucson trains.

vA1,vs AND FOREIGN BORN PEOPLE.
rersus Bureaus instructions Regard Inc the Enumeration of Them.

w ASHlNdlON3 D' O', A WI NN@' ~ .191O-What the census enumera- 'tors are required to learn regarding the place of birth of native born and foreign-born persons, and other personal facts concerning the latter Glass. in taking the Thirteenth Limited States Census, beginning sApril 15 next, is fully set forth in the printed instructions prepared by the United States Census Bureau to guide them in filling the popula- lion schedule. It is pointed out that all the questions relate only to conditions existing on April 15, the Census Day."
 On the object of place of birth of b native-born person the instruc- tions state that if the person was born in the United States the enumerator is to give the State or Territory (not city or town) in which born. A person born in what is now West Virginia, North Dakota, South Dakota, or Okla homa, should be reported as so born, although at the time of birth the particular region may have had different name.
 Relative to conjugal condition, the enumerators are to report whether the person is single, mar ried, widowed, or divorced. Married persons are to be asked if they have been married before. If the present marriage is the first, the fact is to be indicated by the sign "M 1 j" but if it is the second or subsequent marriage, then the emu merator is to write "M g." meaning married more than once.
 The question calling for the number of years of the present marriage is declared by the Census Bureau to apply only to persons reported as married, and the an. swer should give the number O. years married to the present hus' band or wife. Thus woman who may have been married for 1( years to a former husband, but ha, been married only 3 years 10 he present husband, should be return ed as married 3 years. The nun Der of years entered should be tn, number of completed years. person who on April 15, the "Cen sus Day." has been married 3 year and II months should be returned as married 3 years. For persol married less than 1 year, the entr, is to be "0," meaning less than 1 year
 In the case of persons speakin Polish or reporting that they wer born in Poland, which is no longe an independent country, the emu merator is to inquire whether tn birthplace was in what is nov known as German Poland, and h must write the answer accordingl as Poland, (Ger.), Poland (Aust. or Poland (Russ.).
 If the birthplace reported Canada, the enumerator is require to ask whether the person is English or French descent an write Canada (Eng), or Canad
 (Fr), according to the answer.
 The question calling for the yea of immigration to the United Stat, applies to all foreign born person male and female, of whatever az It should be answered, therefor for every person whose birthpla, was in foreign country. The en, merator must enter the year

began and then great shock came to
Toni-two great shocks. in fact. First
Paul Verney, who. next TO Jacques, was
Tonfs best friend, was sent away TO
boarding school. Toni felt a horrible
sense Of loss and emptiness. In losing
Paul. he seemed to lose a protector as
well as a friend. He had not been so
much afraid OF other people when Paul
was about, but now ne was more afraid
OF them than ever. And then. Toni. be-
ing a strong, robust fellow for his age,

as he would not so to school, he must
learn a trade.

PLEDGED TO ETERNAL SILENCE.
Trappist Monks, of south Africa, Can
only Break Vow Through Rome.

The Trappist Monastery. at Marianhill.
South Africa, is a German center, The
community consists Of the fathers and
the brothers.
The fathers wear white serge habits
tied with ropes. and are tonsured. Their
vows are for life. and one OF them Is that
OF everlasting silence. 1t can only be
broken by special dispensation from
Rome The vows Of the brothers are
for life, but their rules are less strict
than those OF the fathers, and they are
not pledged TO eternal silence. Their
habits are Of coarse brown serge, with
rope girdles. and they wear sandals.
They do all the work Of the monas-
terry, in and out of DOORS and ply the
trades praeticed in the various shops on
the Observation-Disclosures printing en-
cheering, saddlery, tannery, mill-work,
bakery, and so on. The monastery is en-
