Market.
(From Mondays Journal.)

Almost record showing OF livestock
was made In the North Portland
yards for the day. There was very
heavy run of cattle and hogs and a
very good showing of sheep over Sun
day.
Conditions in the cattle division
were just about steady although 1t
took exceptional quality to bring the
prices of last week For the same
quality as then prices might be con-
sidered off a fraction for anything ex-
cept the best stuff.

The oasis., 1912-04-06

Last week THE OASIS mentioned the fact that there had been made very rich strike in the R. R. R. mine, near Patagonia. This week the information comes that Mr.. Richardson, the owner, has sold the property to the Shannon Cop per Company. which has developed and operated successfully many years, the Shannon Copper mines, near Clifton, in Greenlee county; and it is related that the new owners will proceed to develop and operate on an extensive scale their new purchase.
 The advent into Santa Cruz of the important corporation means great deal to the county and its people. With unlimited capital, wide experience, commanding the best methods, the Shannon Com pany is one of the most energetic and successful enterprises operat- ing in Arizona; and 1t will proceed to development and operation on a large scale, which signifies a great camp, with large forces of workmen and modern and scientific reduction machinery. And the impetus that will be given the county will draw outside attention to many other good propositions within Santa Cruz county and lead to their acquisition and development by those who are able to do so.

Battle at choix.

Mir. T. w. Smith, who arrived
 early in the week from Choix, THE OASIS learns that on the eighteenth of March there was fought at Choix, Sinaloa, sanguinary battle which was not known at Alamos, when the editor left that place
 Friday morning of last week. A
 band of inSurrectoS which came out from Chihuahua, had been operat.
 ing some time in the valley of the Fuerte river, going as far toward
 Topolobampo as Los Mochis, gathering recruits, arms, ammuni. tion and horses. They had re- turned to Choix and occupied the place. They numbered about $50 men, but about 200 were without arms. They had siezed everything theu could find, taking rifles and
 pistols from Americans and Mexi-
 cans indiscriminately. (From the officials and employees of the Grand Union Mining Company, operating in the vicinity with headquarters at Choix, they took six Winchesters and four olt's'automatic pistols) A force of federals consisting of about 125 men from the Eighth and Eleventh Battalions of In. fantry of the Mexican regular army, was sent against the rebels. and attacked them at Choix on the date named. The attacking party ap- preached near to the town and the rebels went out to meet them. The soldiers laid down and did their fighting on the ground, the rebels charging them repeatedly, but being repelled with great loss by the whitening fire poured into their ranks from the line ofsoldiers lying on the ground. Whenever an insurgent fell another took his

He "contrlbuted."

This week Judge Duffy has been in receipt of letter from Mir. c. A. Avery, a mining man known we'll all over Sonora and Sinaloa, who is at Choix, and enjoyed(?) some experiences" during the recent in surrectionary disturbance in that vicinity, some of which he des. cribed in his letter. MT. Avery relates that when the insurrectos deprived the people at Choix of their arms, as described elsewhere, he thought that by show of bra vado he might be able to bluff them from their intention, and retain his own; so when they came to him he refused point blank to deliver. Immediately one insur- gent thrust loaded gun under his nose, and another stuck one into the small of his back, while the leader said to him: "This is not matter of compulsion, sehor, but we trust that you will see the ad- visibility of contributing to a worthy cause" Mir. Avery wrote that he contributed" forthwith.

Looking Into Sonora Meat.

Monday and Tuesday Nogales was visited by Mir. NJ. E. Rex of Washington, D. C., an inspector of food and drugs in the Department of Agriculture, who visited the line city to make investigation of com plaints which had been made to the department with regard to the practice of many in Nogales, Ari- zona, of buying meat at the market in Nogales, Sonora, and bringing 1t across the line for their own use, the complaints that had been filed alleging that such meats are not subjected to inspection and are unsanitary.
 Mr. Rex passed two days at the line city and made an exhaustive examination. He visited the municipal abattoir in Nogales, Sonora, and witnessed the methods of slaughtering and dressing beeves, giving careful attention to the sanitary features of the establish ment. He visited also the public market on that side of the line and made careful examination of the conditions under which meats are cut and delivered to customers. The probable result of the inves- tigation made by the official was not disclosed.
 It will be recalled that a couple of years ago the Department of Agriculture requested the custom houses along the line to suspend importation of dressed meats, alleg- ing sanitary reasons, and the request was complied with. Dur ing several months no one was permitted to bring over any meat. Then the restriction was removed. and since that time many of the residents of Nogales, Arizona, have been bringing across the line all of the meats they consume. In fact about three. fourths of the beef consumed on this side of the line comes from the municipal market in Nogales, Sonora.

Sunday night the federal stamp tax office at MagdaIena, was rob bed of sum of money said to he between 6,000 and 1000 pesos. No clue to the perpetrators of the rob bery has been discovered.
 The Cananea Company have made new and very rich strike in the Capote mine, between the third and fifth levels. and it has been explored 10 an extent of fifty feet or more on all the level. The ore averages ten per cent copper.
 A new and very rich strike iss reported in the Lampazos mine, ina the Sahuaripa district. The ledge discovered is known to be 1900 feet long and from twenty-five to thirty-fve feet in width. Assay~ in gold and silver run from $15 to $40 per ton. Ore shipments are to be made to the Copper Queen Shelter at Douglas.
 Last Saturday at Empalme there was discovered that an innocent looking shipment alleged to be boxes of picks and kegs of nails, consigned to the Yaqui river, car ried concealed about 1000 boxes of cartridges, and quantity of lead and primers for making fixed am- munition. Confscation of the shipment followed, as matter of course.
 Through transformation THE OASIS stated last week, in the item with regard to the litigation of the Yaqui River Land and Irrigation Company against Mrs. Margarita Cranz, that the lady had taken possession of the land involved, in the Yaqui delta. Representatives of the corporation state that she did not take possession, but located in the town of Potam, near the land, and removed illegally large lot of wood, shipping to Guaymas many cords, and removed wire fence, the posts and wire from which she sold. It is over the property alleged to have been taken illegally that the pending litigation has been inaugurated, and to restrain her from further appropriation.

MT. Flores contemplates transferring his ac- tivities to the Sonora field and will make his headquarters in Cananea.

Early In the week the press tele- grams contained a long and sensa- tional account of the War Depart. ment at Washington having sum- moned to the capital, one at a time, the chief militia officers from many of the states, and sounded them as to the preparedness of their forces to participate in an extended mili- tary movement in Mexico, presuma- blv, and what would be necessary to fit such forces to make them most available and efficient for such movement. The accounts state that several of the officers in- terviewed made acquisitions at once for equipment, and that delivery of the supplies requisition- ed was set to going immediately through the usual channels. One officer, it is stated, made acquisition for 40 field wagons, 560 sets of harness and eleven ambulences.
 The officers who had attended were from the south principally but more were summoned and coming, and 1t is likely that within short time militia representative from every state will have been in con ference. with the war secretary, and given an account of what can be done by his state in case of anti Cipated eventualites.
 The accounts published stated that the result of the conferences was not altogether satisfactory. The responses of Ohio, Pennsyl- yania and several of the southern states were prompt and satisfactory, but from some New England states there was presented the doubt of the popularity of such a movement and that enlistments would be slow The telegraphic account ad- ded that measure to meet such a contingency, which was not un- expected, has already been prepar- ed by the war department. An amendment to the Dick army law, whereby the national guard can be sent out of the United States, has been drawn up and is ready to be put through as soon as occasion requires. Under the present law the national guard is federal na- uonal guard, so far as riot duty or anything of that kind is concerned, but 1t Is state guard for other purposes and cannot be sent out of American territory without it's consent. The amendment that has been drawn changes its name from national guard of the several states" to national guard of the Onlted States" and makes it a Pody which can be sent to any part pi the world, the same as the Regular army.
 The assurances so far received Py Secretary Stimson indicate the probability that most of the states Fill give a prompt response to the fali for troops, and all of them are

NEW ELEcTRoPLATlNe
Metals of Any Character Deposited by
Electrical Energy

An ingenious invention which Us IL

perfected by two Italian chemists

cal energy. The results SO far achiev-

art of eiectroplating and delegation as
well as many other branches of indus
