Los Angeles. Nov. 22-The supreme court of the state of California has made the ruling that the tallies of the last ell ection shall be re-connted, anal not the precinct certifi- calion. This the Democrats claim. will give them the state by about one hundred and fifty. The prOgressives have made the fight 10 have the court simply recount or eX- anime the totals only as certi- fled to by the election officials. The Democrats on the other hand state that as .the greater number of the election offi- cidis were Progressives, and accordingly interested in se- curing a Bull Moose victory, their certificates are apt to lack accuracy.

but there has to be an arrangement
 with the United States. It is
 reported that the American gov- ernment is prepared to enter into
 negotiations with the Mexican gov- ernment for a treaty to provide for a division of the waters in that stream. At the present flood level there are twenty-nine feet of water in the river at Yuma. In the upper reaches of the stream there are said to be in project many irrigation enterprises to divert the flood waters and turn them through the Rocky Mountains upon lands upon their eastern slope. Within ten or
 fifteen years all the surplus flow of the stream will be appropriated in those regions, and then it will be too late to get the water for the delta and littoral lands below the international boundary. Upon initiative from some of those own ing lands in Lower California the government at Washington has signifed willingness to enter into negotiation with the gov- ernment of Mexico for a divi- sion of the flow of the river; and an effort is being made from the same quarter to induce the Mexican government to make the request. The state government of Sonora will be asked to support the effort being made at the City of Mexico. And the state of So- nora has also to take other meas. ures should the negotiations follow and terminate in a treaty. With division of the water between the United States and Mexico there, should be also a division and dis. tribution of Mexico's apportion- ment between Lower California andl Sonora, and it's use upon the lands that 1t can be made to cover.

 Seventeen cent copper, with a prediction that the price will go to twenty cents, has caused an in- crease in the output at Cananea and adoption of means to increase further the yield of the red metal from that camp, by installation of additional mining machinery. Many mines in the vicinity are starting to make ore shipments, all of which is manifesting increased activity in all lines of business in the great camp.
 THE OASIS is in receipt of the programme rendered at the annual examination and exercises of the Occidental College at Guaymas, conducted under the auspices of the Baptist church in that city, Reverend Frank Mars, admins. trator. The examinations were conducted on the 18th and 18th inst, and the closing exercises on the 14th. The school has been very successful both in point of attendance and in advancement of the pupils. The faculty are: Miss Emilia Casanova, teacher of first grade, section B; Mrs. Tomasa c. de Gotta, teacher of first grade, section A, and second grade; Miss Virginia E.

THE STATE TAX ReTE.
IcsIeulatIon That in the End the Bur
 den of Taxation Will Be no Heavier Than Under Territorial Conditions.

$ bbdNOhiVhb bhoe With hhC cbalC tdA rate established at $2.05 on the slOO of taxable property, and county and town taxes rated as heretofore, the tax rate in Santa Cruz county would reach this year very near 79o. Surely the figures read that way.
 But a we'll posted gentleman, who has been observing closely the trend of events and has been mak- ing calculations in the matter gives different version, and presents an entirely different calculation.
 The tax rate as promulgated, and established in the act of the legis- Iature that was instanced by TIE OASIS, it is explained, is based upon the assessment of last year. and is for use only in assessing and collecting taxes upon personal property, which are due and col .eCtible when the assessment is made There had to be some basis on which to establish a rate, and that was the only one available. Upon that basis the state needs S205 rate and it is so established. But the property tax will be levied
 
 upon an entirely different basis, framing which the newly created tax commission is DOW at work. nround numbers the total footings Of the assessment rolls of all the counties of Arizona were about one hundred millions of dollars. The lax commission is revising assess ments, and making great raises in several different directions. The mining and railway companies are coming in for large percentage of the increased assessments. The old system of assessment of the production of mines, and a levy upon twenty five per cent of the value of the output has been abolished. Now all mines are to be assessed upon their actual value as determined by the tax commis- slon, which arrives at that value Oy taking as basis the average prices ot the shares in the com Panles owning them. The rail- ways are also to be raised in valu- alon per mile, the new valuation to De determined by the tax com. lulSslon upon like basis as in the case oi mines. Other heavy inter. V''S are to be given careful scrutiny Oy the commission and their tax Oeafing capacity ascertained more accurately than has been done !! !hereIoiore. When all that is done ' IS estimated that the total tax .O'l TOT the entire state will reach VI exceed two hundred millions. t %nefe now it is but half that. Then sus commission can establish hot, ia'e Tor the state tax which will be tba Tu' about half that provided by sno.i .no legislature for levy upon per. ao ooual property at this time.

 from the delta of the Colorado
 river, below Yuma, was noted in
 these columns last week, THE OASIS
 has gathered considerable infor-
 nation with regard to a region very
 rich in natural resources which
 offers an opening for development
 which if improved will make it one of the richest and most populous
 upon the face of the Earth.
 Mir. Bonillas was in the region
 mentioned a couple of months at this time (although this was not
 his first visit), going down early in April and remaining until the se- cond week in June. His errand at this time was to survey and define the boundaries of a large land grant owned by the estate of one Don
 Manuel Martinez del Rio, embrac- ing some three hundred thousand acres of land in Sonora, extending from the International Boundary to the littoral of the east shore of the Gulf of California and mouth of the Colorado River. The prop erty is under option to the New
 World Land Company of Los Angeles, which contemplates it's purchase and colonization. The contract of MT. Bonillas, which he carried out, was to define the lines, mark all the corners with sub- stantial monuments and erect stake at the end of each kilometer.
 He was to establish also the lines of the Andrade concession, a great tract of land adjacent, which was surveyed in 1874 by Captain Jacobo Blanco, of the engineer corps of the Mexican army, who twenty years later, with the rank of colonel was the chief of the Mexican section of the Interna- tional Boundary Commission, which consisted also of a similar section of the corps of U. s. engineers under command of Col onel John w. Barlow, afterward brigadier general and chief of the corps of engineer, which commis- sion re.established theboundaryand erected the monuments now defn- ing the line. Mir. Bonillas had obtained blue prints of the Blanco survey of the Andrade concession and other data pertaining thereto, with which he was eminently successful in finding the lines and establishing new stakes and monu- ments. He brought with him some of the old Blanco stakes, numbered with Roman characters, cut into the wood, which are in a remarkable state of preservation after thirty eight years of exposure to the desert sun. The stakes shown by the gentleman to the scribe were num- bered XXXVI, XXXVIII and XXXIX respectively. They are of and tornillo wood and | show little decay
 MT. Bonillas describes the region IS one of remarkable natural 1 resources. The soil of the Colorado river delta and the littoral on both sides of the Gulf is remarkably ertile and of great depth. But to make it of any value it needs water for irrigation. The Colorado liver will supply all that is needed
