"M de a Getaway"

Saturday afternoon there was a small sized excitement at the in- ternational line over the escape of political prisoner, man named Ignacio Romero, who had been incarcerated some months in the Sonora side for participation in a disturbance of some sort near Ga nanea. He states that his home is at Douglas, and his family reside there. He is a man of some means with bank account. He had
 been permitted to go to the Banco de Sonora under guard several times to arrange for a tranfer of money. First he made draft, and several times afterward he was al- lowed to go to see if the draft had been honored. Saturday it had, and he received the money. At the same time his guard had relaxed the usual vigilance, and instead of accompanying him inside the bank awaited him outside of the door. When he got his money, which took him a long time, he came away, and he "came a run ming" shooting between the surpris- ed guards, who took after him in in great hasts, straight for Americap soil and freedom, only forty feet

away from the door of the bank. Right at the line the man stopped and fell, with his personality yet in Sonora. Had the guards have been spry they might have caught hold of him and made good the security of their prisoner; but they were not sufficiently quick witted and they let the opportunity slip. Not so with the escape. He was equal to the emergency, and he rolled himself across the line, keep ing up the rolling act until was rod or more in side of the United States, when he arose to his feet. One of the guards, who had follow ed and passed him, attempted to drive the escape back into Mexico, but the amused spectators called to him to desist and get back upon his own soil, which he did.
 In the scramble the escape lost his hat, and it lay in the street on the Sonora side of the line. Two or three we'll intentioned parties, one after another, volunteered to go and get it, but menacing gesture with gun in the hands of an irate guard served in each case to cause the otficious party to desist. So the man went his way, going to one of the hotels and registering there, incidentally stopping at the El Paso store and buying himself new hat.

Remains of Grind ell.

MT. Hugo Von BerckefeIdt, local manager for the Tecolote Cop per Company, who has returned4 recently from l trip out to the gulf, coast and Tiburon Island, where. he reports he made the aCquaint- ance of the chief and others of the Seris Indians, and found them all hospitable and kindly people,
 Mir. Won Berckefeldt informed THE OASIS that the chief stated that on the mainland, opposite Tiburon Island, a boy of the tribe had found in cave the skeleton of man with good clothing and a lot of papers, and from the descrip- tion given the gentleman thinks it may be the remains of Mir. Thomas Grindell or one of the ill fated ex- ploring party which went with Grindell out in the wilds toward Tiburon Island and perished, one only of the party reaching Gaay- mas after many days of peril and hardship, and in an insane condi- tion of mind The chief told MT. Won Berckefeldt that the bones of the skeleton are all intact, and the clothing in good condition. The cave is we'll known to the Indians now, and there would be no diffi- culty in finding a guide to take one right to it.

NoeALEs GAS COMPANY.
propsrty Sold Under Court Order, for Six Thousand Dollars. includes
 Franchises and All Holdings.

Pursuant to an order of the dis trict court, and after due advertise ment, the property, plant, franchise and all holdings of the Nogales Gas Company, which had been in the hands of receiver during the past year, or more, were sold in front of the court house door Mon day morning, ny Mir. John B. Wright Esq, of Tucson, who had been attorney for the receiver, and was named in the judgment entered in the case as special master to conduct the sale. There were present very few spectators, and there were but two bidders, Messrs. Frank E. Curley Esq. of Tucson, who was counsel for John w. Moore of Toledo, Ohio, who was intervenor in the case, and Mir. S.. L. Pattee, of Tucson, who was counsel for the Gas Company. The bidding was not at all spirited. After the special master had read the notice of the sale and made a few preliminary remarks he asked for bids for the property. Mir. Pattee responded with g bid of $3,000, which Mir. Curley followed with a bid of $4,000. Then Mir. Pattee made a raise of another $1 900, and after a moments delib- eration Mir, Curley bid $6000, Mir. Pattee declined to go any higher, and the property was sold 10 Mir. Curley for the amount of his bid. Yesterday in the Superior Court, Judge Duffy presiding, the sale was confirmed.
 After payment of costs and charges the money realized will be apportioned to claimants in the cases against the Gas Company which were at issue in the district court, wherein judgments were granted in December, and the holders of the bonds. Of the latter there are out about $27, ,000. The actual cash value of the property is about $25,000.

Jail Escape at Msgdalena.

Reports from Magdalena are to the effect that through complicity of guard at that place on Friday of last week there occurred a gen. raj Jail delivery, some thirty-six prisoners, including six Yaquis taken when smuggling arms into Mexico. As the story goes among the details sent from the camp stationed there was a soldier who
 was given the detail as a punish
 ment for some minor offence, and he was sore. That was discovered by a trusty, who had the run of the town, but was awaiting only a
 good opportunity to get away, The trusty worked the guard to enter into conspiracy to make a gen eral delivery of the prisoner, and the plan worked to a charm. At the noon hour the disgruutled guard was at the jail door, while five
 other guards were taking their dinner. The trusty and the one disloyal guard overpowered the turnkey, took away the keys and turned loose everybody, all the prisoners going right to the armory and each helping himself to a gun with two or three belts of cartridges, taking also the gun of the five guards who were eating their din- ner, they having gone foolishly to the table unarmed As the escap- ing part left the jail enclosure and made for the railway track, near at hand a guard in a sentry box on the wall opened fire which was returned, but no one was hit. As soon as the escaping party got some distance out of town they dispersed, going in different direc-
 tions. It is reported that times were lively in Magdalena for a few
 minutes. Whether any of the
 escapes have been taken and re.
 turned to the jail Is not reported

TEcoLorE COPPER COMPANY.
preparing to Install a Great Reduction Plant at Camp Northwest
 From caFbo.

Sunday morning there was at Nogales, coming from Carbo, the special Pullman Car Rainbow, " conveying a party of directors and shareholders in the Tecolote Copper Company, who were returning to their homes in Providence, Rhode Island and New York City, from a visit of nearly week at the Teco- lote camp, about forty miles north west from Carbo, where they had been making an inspection of development, and to make pro vision for erection and installation of improvements and machinery necessary for operation on an ex- tensive scale. From Nogales the party went to Cananea and passed day there, going out via Naco on Monday.
 The party were MT. and Mrs. Burlingame, MT. Charles Kit. tredge, MT. and Mrs. Fraser, MT. and Mrs. Harry Eustace, Mir. Hancock, Mir. Potter, Mir. Ceiling wood and Captain Latham of Providence, and Mir. and Mrs. Ketchum of New York They went t0 Carbo the 10th inst, and re- mained out at the camp from the lllh to the 18th.
 "A part of the object of the visit of the party to the camp at this time was to provide for a reduction plant, and railway to the gulf coast to transport matte 10 tide water, and to take into the camp all the necessary supplies, coke, timber, machinery, etc. A railway sixty miles in length will connect the camp with a good harbor on the gulf shore, near Tiburon Island. The reduction plant agreed on will nave a daily capacity of l ,000 tons, and will be by electric concentration and smelling process. Both the railway and the reduction plant Will be constructed in the shortest time possible, and construction work will begin immediately. Hallway construction will be pro- vlded first, probably in order to furnish cheap and economical transportation for the machinery for the reduction plant.
 The Tecolote Copper Company has developed an immense body of zlnc-copper ore, which is sixty feet n width and yielding ores that run 4% copper and 18% zinc. In the mineral holdings of the com pany are included some 800 per- tenencias of mineral lands. Other holdings ten miles distant, and at another point near the gulf coast give the company immense areas of fine mineral lands. Camps are to be established right away to develop those properties. Mr. Berckefeldt, veteran mining engi- neer, with many years experience m sonora, is local manager. Mir. ". B. Duval is general manager.
