two. He saw the lnsurgent com mander, Gandatilla, who gravely estimated the loss of the military at 150. He was informed that taking as accurate the individual estimates of his men and aggregat- ing them the loss of General Torres must have been several thousand.
 The informant of THE OASIS sug. gested to Gandarilla that it would be wisdom to vacate Tonichi and avoid offering combat the next day, advancing as reason that he would exhaust his ammunition shortly and that with plenty of cartridges available Torres would have him at his mercy. Gan darilla secuted the idea: he could whip Torres and take away his am intuition. But all the same he arose in the night and hiked out with his entire command. When morning came there was not an in- SGrrecto in sight. Later in the day it was learned that the rebel chief had moved his force 10 a point about ten miles back into the mountains.
 About noon there rode into the village a troop of the insWrrectos numbering about forty-fve men, who had returned from some sort of an expedition. The chief of arms had forgotten all about them aad had departed without leaving orders where to go to join him. This command was somewhat dis. grunted at the neglect shown by Gandarilla, but they went into camp, prepared and eat their dim ner. Shortly after 1t was over the troops appeared upon the west bank of the river and opened fire upon the town. They poured lead across the river and into the town all the afternoon, hitting the church, the houses and scattering bullets all about the place. The inSurrectos returned the fire with spirit, but in the course of the afternoon they dropped out one by one until the evening there were but fifteen remaining. Those had beeh drinking freely during the afternoon, and they were filled completely with belligerence. They marched back and forth behind the houses, shouting Viua Madero and firing volleys across the river, but hftting nothing. The informant Ethe watched the proceeding from sRe Of the houses that was protect ee by the church from the fire of the soldiery, said it was regular opera bOu5e performance. They would march to one end of the village, de- pioy, shout ViUd Madsro, fire a polley, and then march to the etaer end of the row of houses, shout and shoot again. The fire of the soldiers was as ineffective as 4heig own. No one was hit on either side. But THE OASIS infor- mant lost another horse, which was killed by bullet from the sol diery. The horse was thought to be in 6 place of safety, in corral outside of the village The sad part of it is that both animals killed were fine American horses borrowed, and the gentleman has 10 pay for them.
 With nightfall the troops re- Hurned to Toledo and camped &gsin. During the night fifteen

The Victoria Mining Company, for which Roy x Titcomb of Noga- les, erected recently a ten-stamp mill upon the Esmeralda mine near La Colorado and ,Minas Prietas- about mile eastward from the railway depot, has been delayed in starting the machinery by non. arrival of the water pipe necessary to connect the mill with the mains of the Prietas water system. The pipe was ordered from Chicago more than month ago, and is ex- pected to arrive at the camp at any time. As soon as received the pipe will be installed, connected and the stamps set to dropping.
 In the Esmeralda there has been developed a fine body of gold bear ing ore which the new plant is to mill. It is anticipated that the property will soon assume and long maintain an enviable position among the producing mines of So- nora. All development work and machinery are first class in every respect, and experts pronounce everything about the mine plant as calculated to produce the best results.

L going to die! l going to die"
Such was the swan song pitifully
squeaked by a struggling man, whom
it took two men to restrain from Jump
ing out of an automobile on the Paia-
lac road about eight o'clock last night.
AT Tenth avenue the excited one
nearly made his escape by springing
from the grasp of his custodians. He
got out upon the footboard and the
machine was stopped, when, after a
struggle, he was dragged back to the
seat, continuing the dolorous refrain,
Il going to die"
A resident in front of whose house
the automobile stopped went out to
the road and inquired of those striving
to subdue the man if anyone was hurt
and If help was wanted. Professor L.
D, Blackman, one of the occupants of
the automobile, replied, saying that
nobody was injured 1T is only a
Chinese who is somewhat over
wrought" he explained as the chauf-
feur again got the machine in milton.

student arrived in the country about
four months ago. He attended Alto

speak more of Mccarthy than l do
of his opponent Rolph. For everyone
knows what Rolph would do in office.
That is, it is not nearly so interesting
conjecturing what high minded hon
est citizen would do in office as it is
wondering how far an INSCRIPTIONS
leader would go if he won out. You
could depend on Rolph. You can de-
pend on Mccarthy too for certain
things-the tang to the situation is
lent by the natural thought of where

Carthy in control. Rolph will lead on

prophesy where Mccarthy would drive
if he were cracking the whip. And so
the fight is on in deadly earnest to
keep Mccarthy from getting firmer
grip on the municipal handle.
Witness the Mccarthy preparations
for this fight. They started months
ago when municipal employees were
gently urged to join certain social
clubs which gathered in 10 per cent Of
their monthly wages. Those who OBJ
jected to joining these clubs suddenly
found themselves separated from theil
jobs. Then came the time not Ions
ago when employees were asked tC
contribute half of one months wages
and given three months to pay the
amount.

the present time note the bay excur-
sion that was run the other day by
s me so-called River Improvement
Association" A river steamer left
for Sunday trip up the bay to Sacra-
mento crowded with excursionists.
Once under way every conceivable
kind of a gambling game was started
by numerous gentry who appeared
suddenly among the crowds. Every
one aboard was invited to join in,
which most of them did. 1t was not
long before the passengers discovered
that practically every game was
crooked one, and when they excitedly
protested to the police" who we're on
board to preserve order, they we're
told that they were breaking the law
by gambling and if they made any
further trouble they would be pinch
ed" Those who were robbed subsidized
and when the boat reached Sacra-
mento over half the passengers hur-
ried ashore and returned to the city
| by train to tell their tale. Nothing
was done, nothing could be done, the
police couldn't even be prevailed upon
to investigate.
All this may be lending strength
financially and otherwise to Mccarthy,
but it also serves its end in pointing
the way for all good citizens. 1t but
emphasizes the Importance of every
one registering and getting into the
flight. Rolph is perhaps the strongest
man who could be secured in the city
to run against Mccarthy. The Demo
Gratis and Republicans seem to be one
in backing him-he will make a good
fight, and the hope and strength of all
good citizens go out to him in his bat
tie yet to be fought. This coming
election either means the salvation or
the degradation of San Francisco.
Will. Mccarthy steal the primaries
as said before, that is the question
that is worrying the citizens. Nc
Carthy is going to do it if he can. A
long fight will not be to Mccarthy s
advantage. Rolph will gather strength
as he goes, so it behooves Mccarthy to
make short quick fight-if he can
He plans to sweep the city therefore
at the primaries. He will probably
never be stronger than he will at the
preliminary election. The Rolpt
forces are not intent upon winning
at the primaries, they believe they
will roll up greater vote at the reg
ular election. Their efforts then are
to be devoted to watching that thu
primaries are conducted honestly anC
that Mccarthy cannot get such pre-
J portion of the vote as will give hin
, the election then. Mccarthy therefore
with all his strength and fighting abil
t ity has the harder fight to make.
