No Free Asssys Made by Geological
 Survey.

Attention is called by the United States Geological Survey at Wash ington to the fact that it does not make analyses or assays of metals for private parties. Many specimens and samples are received by the Survey, accompanied by requests for such treatment, with which it is impossible to comply. The force of chemists employed in the Survey is small, and their time is fully occupied by their regular official duties. The Geological Survey has no facilities at all for making gold and silver assays The most that can be done is for the Survey geologist to give an off hand opinion based on a simple examination of the specimen. If an assay is desired, the proper course is to employ private assayer or to send the specimen to one of the government assay offices, where regular charge is made for such work. When specimens are sent to the Survey for examination, ap- plicants should be particular to state whether they wish them re- turned, as otherwise they will be destroyed. Government assay offices are located at Carson, New; Seattle, Wash; Boise, Idaho; Helena, Mont; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Charlotte, N. c.

NoeaLEs TOWN BOARD.
h Regular Session Receives Sewer Plans and Surveys, and Sends City Engineer to Consult Sanitary Expert.

The Nogales Town Board held its regular monthly sessions Mon- day and Tuesday evenings of the present week, and there was trans acted considerable business of i'm portance. The City Engineer, MT. H. Gordon Glore, presented the plats and surveys for the projected sewer system, and the appropriate committee, which had been in cor respondence with expert sanitary engineers who are to be taken into consultation in the matter, report ed that prices asked for profes sional visit to Nogales were so high, and so indeterminate as to the total expense of such visit, that nothing had been done, and it was thought that it might be better for the city engineer to take the plans and surveys to an expert in his own city, and get his opinion and recommendations at cost much less than would be paid by bringing to expert to Nogales. The commit tee stated that sanitary engineer in Kansas City fixed price of $50 per day from the time he starts from Kansas City until he returns there, and all expenses both ways, which would aggregate very handsome sum. By sending the city engineer to one there would be made good ly saving. The committee were empowered to take whatever action may be found best and the least expensive.
 The following day the committed took up the sewer plans and ar. ranged with the City Engineer, Mir H. Gordon Glore, to go to Los An. geles with the plans and surveys and consult there with an expert sanitary engineer; and Thursday evening the gentleman took his de parture on that mission.
 The Board subscribed for one thousand copies of the Holiday edition of THE OASIS for general distribution to advertise the town a resolution to do so being adopted by a unanimous vote.
 Some time ago the bridge or Grand Avenue crossing the arroyo below the foundry was reported ir q dangerous condition, and the city engineer was instructed al that time to submit plans for a new bridge. Such plans were present. ed. at this time, there being three designs, one for a girder bridge thirty-three feet long and thirty five feet wide, aDother for ar arched stone bridge and thirC for similar arched bridge of con crete. The latter design was adort ed, and the engineer was instructed to draw specifications upon whicl bids are to be invited for con struction.

Friends Will Help.
BROTHER AND SISTER

Mandan. IL. D., Dec. 2s.-The life
Of Miss Barbara Schilinger. recently
burned In horrible manner by the
explosion Of kerosene which she was
pouring on kitchen fire, can be sav-
ed II physicians can secure enough
skin by the grating process to cover
her burns. and they have made Il call
for volunteers who are willing to sub
init to such an operation.
Yesterday the girls sister and
brother parted with nearly twenty
square inches of skin in tho hope that
the girls life may be saved, and by
tomorrow physicians expect to have
enough volunteers to complete the
task of covering the barred flesh.
Although the physicians had antic~
1pated the necessity of amputating
the left arm of the flames victim they
feel now that the member can be
saved by skin grating, although II
will never be of any normal use to
her.
The terrible burns have healed well
not only on the arm but on the bacl;
grating IS necessary and the physi
clans ask for volunteers. They de-
clare that there is no danger to the
person that will make the slight sacri-
fee and that there Is no pain.
Two of the railroad boys have vol
unteered to submit. to the very minor

TO DETAN CASTRO
At ELLIS ISLAND
Must Be Held Until Nagel
Passes on Admissibility-
Want to Deport Him.

Washington. Dec. 2s-Cipriano Cas-
tro. ex-president Of Venezuela, said to
be on board the steamer La Touraine,
due at New York from Havre Sunday,
will be detained at the Ellis Island
immigration station until Secretary
Nagel of the department of commerce
and labor. has personally passed upon
his admissibility to the United States.
Mr. Nagel today instructed Commits
sioner of immigration Williams at
New York to subject Castro to a rigid
inspection under the immigration laws
to determine his right to enter. and
to forward the result to Washington
even though the examiner failed to
show grounds for deporting the Ven-
ezuelan. The unusual course is due
to the fact that the state department
has requested Secretary Nagel to
strictly apply the immigration laws
to the ex-president. That DEPART
ment is searching for evidence which
would bar Castro. A special effort is
being made to learn whether he was
ever convicted of any crime involving
moral turpitude because that would
supply grounds for his deportation.
The state department today received
a report from Venezula concerning
the status of the deposed president
This was given to Secretary Nagel
but its nature was not made public.

London Paper Tssinks He's Our Best
Fighter against Trusts.
London. Dec. 2S.--Commenting edi-
torially on Frcslent-cl"ct Wilson'S re-
cent warming tn those who might be
tempted tn start Il panic following
tariff revision. The Daily News says:
'Thc danger which MIR. Wilson for
sees is not phantom. but the likelihood
of the Money Trust taking such a step
depends upon two factors-the blow
at its profits which tariff reduction
would deal and the vigor of the gov
ernmcnt.
"The trust magnates may conclude
that they would do we'll to accept the
reasonable profits which even drastic
tariff reductions would leave to them.
and may also think that a determined
president, backed by determined
people, is too formidable an antagonist
to provoke.
''In the last resort the power of a
modern state is greater than any sub
ject or combination Of subjects.
Whether the American people has yet
the clear vision and strong determine
tion necessary for controlling the
magnates may be doubted. and it is
still to be proved that Mr.. Wilson has
all the qualities necessary for leading
90 arduous an enterprise. but Mr.. Will
son looks like being the best man
America now has for the task"

SENT TO RESCUE.
Wireless Report Says Schooner is
Burning.

Newport, r. L.. Dec. 2s.-Following
the receipt of a wireless report that
an unknown schooner was atire at sea
twelve miles southeast of Block
Island. without possibility Of receiving
assistance from life-saving stations
owing to the heavy gale and high seas
that prevail, the revenue cutter Sene-
ca wis dispatched from New London,
Conn.,. to the rescue. Word was also
sent to the cutter Acushnet at Woods
Hole. Mass. and she is expected to go
to the scene.
The report came from the New
Shoreham life-saving station on Block
Island. The message said resident
of the island. Warren Ball. had seen
what he thought was a schooner atire
twelve miles southeast Of the island.
Owing to the distance and the thick
weather he could not make an ac-
curate observation. but thought the
vessel was three or four master.
None of the life-saving patrol saw
any sign of the supposed burning
craft. AS telephone lines on the island
were put out of commission by the
storm. communication with the south
eastern section nearest the vessel was
impossible.
Sea and weather conditions are re-
ported to be such that help from the
life-savers is out of the question.

speculation here over the fact that
Secretary of State Lazansky has issued
about $4,000 invitations to the cere-
monies Of Governor-elect Sulzer's in

Part Of these invitations were sent

monies are to be conducted. AS the
assembly chamber will seat only $500.
It will he a case Of hrst come first serv-

to have no military escort will lessen
the crowd somewhat. but enough per-
