MIRA MONTE SANITARIUM.
Presenting to lnvalids the Advant ages
 ofNogsles' Mild Climate.

Taking advantage of the health giving qualities of the mild and balmy climate of Nogales Doctors A. L. Gustetter and H. w. Purly have established at the line city modern sanitarium for the ex- elusive treatment of chronic dis eases, such as Bright's disease of the kidneys, dropsy, asthma, hay fever, anemia, general debility, insomnia, nervous troubles, bowel troubles, hemOrrhoids, any form of stomach trouble not cancerous, chronic rheumatism. some forms of chronic skin diseases and similar afflictions, alcoholism and drug habits.
 The treatment consists chiefly of absolute rest, plenty of fresh air day and night, large quantities of milk (other nutriment when neces- sary), and hot baths. Many cases require no medicine whatever. To meet the requirements of the cure there has been erected in a snug little cove in the hills on the northeast side of the town, where it is protected from winds and sudden changes, modern pavil ion, open to light and air on all sides, but protected with wire screen. It is fitted with modern improvements, has trained nurses in attendance all the time, and is under the competent direction of the two prOprietors, one of whom is in constant attendance on the sick. The milk is from their own healthy and carefully selected cows.
 The location is ideal, the treat ment has proved very successful. and Doctors Purdy and Gustetter are very successful and progress sive practitioners. Their enter prise meets demand that has been pressing and important.

 In starting the business of the new state there will be no position in which efficiency and effective ness will count for so much as in the post of the auditor. And the active and successful career of MT. Mauk along the lines he has follow ed mark him as fitted for the place in an eminent degree. For people of Arizona will do we'll by electing him.

Something Wro ug.

A subscriber in the Sahuaripa district of Sonora writes TIE OASIS that he has received not more than ten copies of this newspaper within the past year; and he calls upon the Mexican postal authorities to investigate the matter, fix the blame and regulate the difficulty; in which request TIE OASIS itself joins. The correspondent seems to think that better service would be given were the paper sent around via Douglas and Moctezuma. That route ought not be necessary. Trains on the Yaqni river branch of the Southern Pacigc run to Tonichi, only one days ride from Sahuaripa, while Nacosari, the ter minus of the railway from Douglas is four days travel distant.

Quenner informed THE OASIS man on Monday that he has organized company and enlisted capital to work great area of placer ground at the headwaters of the Sacra- mento river, in California. The anti.debris law in California, which prohibits the hydraulic process of mining, on account of the way in which it was filling up the rivers and destroying the agricultured lands along their courses, has kept from exploitation for years in Cali fornia great areas of rich aurifer- ous ground that would pay well to work, but could not be utilized on account of the legal prohibition. The Quenner machine is meeting in that field a long felt want, and it's use is extending generally in all parts of the state. By it's use in connection with dry Washers

and familiarity with the situation to have been easily and even hon estly "swayed."
 Another incident that inures greatly to his credit and marked him as competent and far sighted official, one who does things as we'll as simply "sees" things, was in the organization of the County sses- sors association of Arizona very soon after his induction into his present office. He issued call that brought the assessors together, resulting in the organization of the association and the adoption of uniform methods of taxation, whereby property of all classes IS not only more generally and more completely, but more equit- ably taxed. These plans are not yet fully worked out, but enough has been done to have material

together with the general freight of a growing and important town of some ten or fifteen thousand inha- bitants, according to the activity of the mines.
 As territorial auditor and bank examiner, MT. Mauk has made good at every point. It was hinted in some quarters by the over sus- picious that he might have "rail- road taint" by reason of his pre- vious service with railroad corpor- ations, but the action of the recent session of the territorial board of equalization, of which he is ex-of- fcio chairman, should be ample proof of his loyalty to "the people," first, last and all the time. He protected their interests in matters where it would have easy enough for an official of less carefulness

GEORGE A. MAUK.
Republican Nominee for Auditor of
 the State of Arizona.

10 HE OASIS It IS pleasure al- ways to present favorably and in complimentary way any Republi- can candidate; but when 1t comes 10 advocating the election of one whom the editor has known so long and so favorably as he has known the subject of this article the pleas ing duty becomes a labor of love.
 In May or June 1894 when THE OASIS had been ushered but recently into the ever expanding circle of Arizona journalism, there came to Arizola (near Casa Grande) where the paper was launched, seven een-year-old boy named George A. Mauk, representing the Southern Pacific Company as telegraph oper- ator and agent. Of sunny, genial nature, accommodating and com panionable, he soon won the ad- miration and appreciation of all with whom he came in contact. His duties at the railway station were not very confning, and he visited the printing office frequent ly, at times helping turn off the edition on the day of issue. In that way Mir. Mauk may say, if he likes, that he has been connected with newspaper business.
 Mir. Mauk was born in California about thirty.6ve years ago. When he was small child his parents located in Tombstone, where they lived eight years, and then at Phoenix four years. From Phoe- nix he went to Arizola, where com menced a warm friendship with THE OASIS people which has lasted ever since.
 After some time with the railroad, mastering the business thoroughly George returned to Phoenix, where he engaged in the Life Insurance Company, where he made good, as he has done always, wherever his lines have fallen. During seven years residence in the Capitol city, at that time he was connected also with a building and loan associa- ton, and made several very suc- cessful turns in mine promotion. He took hand in politics, making his mark among the younger men in the management of the party in Maricopa county and in the terri tory. He was secretary of the republican territorial committee two years, 1906-S, was deputy clerk of the district court in Maricopa county, and in the XXXIV Legis- lative Assembly of Arizona, in 1907, he was chief clerk of the Council.
 Returning to the service of the Southern Pacific, in October, 1907, he was made agent of the company in Globe. He retained that post until the first of the present year and resigned it to accept the ap- pointment as territorial auditor. During his service as agent in Globe he had the satisfaction of seeing that city grow into the largest freight handling point on the whole Southern Pacific system in Ariz- ona. This was due to the rapid development of the mines in the Globe district, the incoming of hundreds of carloads of machinery, coke, ores, etc., and the outgoing of vast amount of ores and bullion,

I of answering purpose. His was the
face of man incapable of acknowl-
edging defeat though it may come to

pressing triumph in victory. The

in conclusion. ''I do the same. Here.
take these" he went on, handing tho
Boer a bundle Of banknotes, which
the latter carefully folded away in
his wallet. 'They will grease the
wheels"
Good; they will grease the
Wheels Jan said, without a smile.
The Boer was quite without ina
gination. He knew what was expect
ed of him. and would act to the let
ter of his instructions. 1t was his
boast-and the Boer Is boastful
creature-that what he set out to do
he would do. The elements might
fight against him, hostile races might
bar the way; he would still keep on.
and, in the end, he would accomplish.
Had he possessed imagination he
could never have made such boast,
and doubtless his faculty for driving
straight to his goal would have suf-
fered.
