From the Tucson Citizen, 23d inst.
Edward Lumley was butchered,

by two Mexicans, who afterwards
fed to Sonora with two horses,
saddle, bride, shotgun, pistol,
$50, and other articles stolen.

His hatand pipe were found near

From the Prescott Miner. 10Th inst.

I From the Prescott Miner. 10Th inst.
y The citizens of Prescott and
vicinity, were considerably exl-
ted on Tuesday last, by the ar
rival of parties from the Verde,
who stated that 800 Tonic Apa-
ches had left the reservation on
Sunday night, and gone to the
mountains. The cause of the
skedaddling was unknown, and
for three days every one expected
toshear of some one being Sc Mo-
dOced." Gen. Crook left head
quarters for the Verde instanter,
and further news from the reser-
walton has been anXiously await
ed. On Thursday, we learned
from reliable source that there
lis no danger 10 be apprehended.
THE "big chief of the Tontos did
hot go oat with the tribe, and the
reason why the Tontos left, was
that they were scared; they heard,
Through their enemies, that
Cooley, the Interpreter at Camp
Apache, was coming to the Verde
with q large force OF COy0ter0S
and San Carlos Apaches, to clean
out the Tontos, and so took to the
hills. When they left the reser-
walton they went through the
large herds of government cattle
in that vicinity, without disturb
ing them, and have since COM
municated with their chief and
discovered that their alarm was
not wen founded, and they are all
returning to their reservation.
Their chief, Del Che, says he has
had fighting enough, he wants
peace, and will stay on the reser-
walton, and his tribe would not
think of going into the mountains
were it not for the reports clrcu-
lated among them by bad men
who desire to make disturbance
and get the T0ntoS killed.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE


Once more we are placed under
obligations for the generous cOur-
tesy of our fellow townsmaD,
Capt. I. Polhamus, jr., Superin-
tendent OF the Colorado Steam
Navigation Company-fOr a sail
over the COlOrado's turbid flood.
Last Saturday night we stepped
aboard that staunch steamboat
the NQioUe, and found cosy quar-
tiers. At daybreak on the follow.
ing morning we steamed away
from Yuma, having in tow ''No.
2" Barge.
FIRST DAY OUT.
We noticed at once that old sea
lion, Capt. John Mellon, Of the
"Cocopah," who was transferred
to this boat for this special occa-
sion; and met, among the passen-
gers, Messrs. Wilson and Howe,
who are on their way to Prescott
to take charge of the construction
of the Military Telegraph from
that place to point where they
will connect with the construc-
ton party from San Diego by way
Of Yuma. Mr.. Schneider (nOt our
battle-scarred veteran Of the news
depot, but of Ehrenberg) was also
OIL board, destined home. Later,
to cur agreeable surprise and de- |
light, we espied a young and |
beautiful Iady-no myth, but a
real, bona fde one. Owing to our
timidity and bashfulness, it was
fully ten minutes before we could
muster courage to address this
charmer, but we finally did it,
and succeeded most admirably for
an old bachelor. After a formal
introduction by ye gallant Cap
tain, we learned that Miss Kelley
was from Oregon, On her way to
Prescott via Mojave, where she
expected to meet Mrs. General
Crook, an old and dearly-beloved
friend, with whom she will
spend a few months. We found
Miss x. a most interesting and
intelligent companion, and to her
We are largely indebted for many
hours very agreeably spent.

another for an explanation of the

ascertained to be the running

A BEAUTIFUL EIGHT.
Just at 8 o'clock Sunday night,
while we were all engaged in con-
versation, and longing for a gen.
tie breeze to cool our heated
broWs, a meteor shot across the
sky from east to west, which lit
up the whole heavens SO brilliant
fy that we could see every object
on either bank and beyond with
the greatest distinctness. Itseem-
ed the size of a -four barrel, and
left a luminous track behind it
for about so yards. We had not
over the excitement caused by
this beautiful phenomenon, when
a very loud report, as of the firing
of a 60-pound gun, was heard
coming from the direction where
the meteor had descended, about
two minutes afterWard.
SECOND DAY.
We were extremely anxious
that something should occur, if
only for the sake OF an item, but
nothing did; so we found relief in
amusement game Of "hide and
seek" notwithstanding the ex-
IRENE heat that prevailed. The |
thermometer stood III the coolest

"Poore's Railroad Manual" now fresh from
the press, is an invaluable book to all who are
interested in railways. The volume is fuller
and more complete than that of any former
year, and tabulated statement Of the railroads
ofeach State isgven, from which full and expli-
cit knowledge of their condition can be derived
From this "Manual" we learn that there had
been constructed in the United States, up to
January 1, 1878, CLIP miles of railroad, of
which 6,427 were constructed during the past
year.
The total cost Of the railroads, the operations
of which are given for the past year, is $3,159,-
423,O57, made up of 81 ,647 ,S44, 113 of capital
stock, and 81 ,5l1 57S ,944 of various forms of in
debtedness, chiefly of bonds maturing at dis
tant periods. The capital stock amounted to
52.l5 per cent, and the debt to 47.85 per cent.
of the total cost. The cost of thes9 roads per
mile was $55,ll6. The gross earnings for the
year were of72, 241 ,055, of which 1892 309, 270,
or % per cent, was received for the transporta-
ton of passengers, and 1910 ,931 1855, or ~ per
cent, for the transportation of freight, includ-
ing under this head the small amount received
from miscellaneous sources" The receipts per
mile were $S.256. The ratio of earnings to pop
ulation was $ll.76 per head. The operating
expenses tor the year were $780,, 4S6, 682, or SIS
per cent OF the gross receipts leaving $165, 1884,
373, or 30 per cent, as net earnings. The per.
centage of gross receipts to the total cost of the
roads was Il per cent; of net earnings, So per
cent. The amount paid in dividends was 3d.
AIS, Isl, or 39l per cent. of the aggregate CAPT.
tai stock The balance of net earnings. SI0I..
S36,222, was equal to $40 per cent on the ag-
gregate Indebtedness of the roads.
The most productive roads were in New Eng.
land and the Middle States. The unprodue-
tveness of the Western roads. com pared with
those of the Eastern States, is due simoly to
the excess of mileage to population. The earn
ings per head are nearly as great in the former
as in the latter. Should no more railroads be
constructed in the Western States for six or sew
en- years; this disparity would be corrected by
the rapid increase of their population, which
incref9e of earnings from such increase of pom
ulatif would fully equal $4,000, 900 annually,
