a Singular Revelation.

A "
RAVELED MURDERS AND FORGERY
The recent arrest and lodgment i'm Ludlow
street jail, New York, OF n young Italian en-
eraver named TOllomeo de Chic Vetta has
brought to the surface, which IL true furn-
1sbes the secret of some of the most dangerous
CONTRIBUTING ever done in this country, and
Inc probable clew to the murderer of Tor
flno, me Italian barber, year ago. Chie-
Vetta'S story, aS told first to a fellow prison
er' ara ate wards toa newspaper man. is.
IN brief, that he learned enyra wing in Com
StantinOple, where the most skiIIfnl engrav-
Ing in the world is done. From there he
Wet 10 Naples, where he was hired by an
Italian, natpTaliZC1 citizen Of the United
Sta t. engrave what he was told were
american bill reads" but which he now
knows were railroad bonds and United States
roles. Al" got such good pay for this work
thai he resolved to emigrata to America
arr was given a letter of iltroduction to
Si.-oi Iolognlac. barber under the Pacific
ho'el. with whom he was invited to at once
make his home. POlOgniac introduced him
u TorriUO and Pakulski, two other Italian
BARRIERS, and the three soon set him to work
engraving plates for II. :. bonds, CURRENCY
etc, all alone by himself in a house down in
Jersey But POlOgniacs wife, who hat
taken a fancy 10 the young engraver, one
day explained TO him what IL was he was en-
craving. ard warned him of the consequences.
He Immediately declined 10 90 on with his
work, and Polog MAC then gave him to the
police on the ground of alternating his wife.
Inc young engraver was, few days since,
acquitted of the charge and released. Oae
OF the three BARRIERS, TOrrinO. is the man so
mSsteflouSly murdered in Brooklyn a year
ago, ana whose murderer has never been dis
covered up TO the present hour. The detec-
lives arrested man named CarOmanti, but
as there was no evidence to convict him he
was discharged. 1t was well known that
ToTTino was engaged i'm passing counterfeit
bonds and currency, and that the queer he
operated In was perfect in execution and fin
is1. The most accomplished experts have
hithertO failed to discover where and by
whom these extraordinary fOrgeries were eX-
ecuted. A suggestive sequel to this revela-
~ of ha
barber, PakulSki. ny a detective, to whom,
while drunk, he had remarked, '"In that
satchel there Is 1850 worth OF United
States revenue stamps, which | will sell you
for 40 cents on the dollar, and can get thou
sands OF dollars worth more" He, too. has
been released, and with POlOgniac and Chic
Tetta Is still at large, but there are facts
enough thus brought out, il would seem to
SCI tie detectives at least to thinking.

blast every night, and two of them run in the daytime also. The wine bibber wax eth wroth in his cups, from frequent i'm bibitions at the eight rum shops in town, and black eyes and swelled noses are not uncommon. though nothing more serious has occurred recently.
 sad affair came off in Wickenburg last Tuesday, April 20, of which you had the main points by telegraph. Hegnan Mannassee, the victim of the affray, had been engaged in merchandising in Wick enburg for several years, doing a good business and well liked by his customers as a square dealer On the morning of his deaih he had some words with Mex ican freighter named Jesus Amado, who had agreed to buy some barley and take hides as freight a dispute arose between them as to the price of barley, and Anna do refused to buy the barley or take the hides; then Mannassee called him liar, etc., and Amado struck him and ran, and Mannassee shot at him twice without SuCCl, lHGu AulduO Wtul lO LIS NdSOus got pistol and went back to the store, saw Mannassce loading a shotgun, and | fired on him hitting him in the back, just below the shoulder blade, the ball pass ing out above left nipple and lodging in the chimney. Mannassee did not live an hour. The Mexican escaped and was in Ehrenburg within tWenty-four hours, whence he probably went to Sonora. Mannassee was buried Wednesday morn ing, and his relatives in California tele- graphed to at once. His brother Moses from San Pasqual replied tbat he would be at Wickenburg May l, and will proba- bly, take charge of the property. Tn the meantime Col. A. A. Bigelow, the public administrator of this county, has posses sion, and is taking inventory of the effects of deceased.

cent. of the whole distance. Silver City has a population of about 1000 of which one half are MeXicans. Business to me seems dull yet the operators such as Will iison, Bremen and few others are taking out large quantities of rich chloride ore. Bennett'S mill roasting furnaces have been doing big work lately turning out large amounts of rich silver bullion. The mill stopped a few days for repairs
 Bremen X Co. are running the Wisconsin works and are doing well. Their ore as well as MT. WillisOn's from Chloride flat, is very rich, running from one to two. hum dred dollars per ton, though some will go as many thousands. As to the richness of those ores there can be no doubt. The great trouble is and ever will be their un- certainty, the formation being limestone in which mineral is invariably found in pockets and deposits and not in true 1s- sure veins If the depth ot the limestone is not too great, and if the mineral should ever be traced into granite with true fls- sure veins, then permanent prosperity will attach to Silver City. From Pin6s Altos, the Mimbres and the Santa Rita and other districts from five to twenty miles about, the reports are generally favorable I hope I may be able to see them before returning towards Tucson but this will depend on the facilities Otfe ed to get around by those interested.

Letter from MT. WassOn.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aprit 23.-How others fare on the Tucson and San Diego stage route, I don't know, but my wife and l came over the road in good shape ill the usual time of five days, without being very weary. In fact the constant outdoor and rough usage, seemed to be medicine for her, and I believe is to any one who will not give way to weariness and take to grum bling. She feels so well that in con- sequence of the wreck of the Ventura, she is willing and over anxious to start on to- day by stage via Los Angeles to the rail way. The unwell portion of mankind often improves faster under endurable hardshipS in the open air, than under the best care in comfortable dwellings. This coast stage and railroad route is the short est in point of time, and as it has recent ly been improved by extension of the rail- way, and better and faster coacher. I'll send THE CITIZEN some notes about 1t from san Francisco.
 On the way from Tucson here, the line is efficiently managed. On no previous trip, have l observed such prOmptness at stations. Teams were in every instance in readiness and in strong condition. With a single exception or two, new sets of drivers are on the road. This l only re- mark by the way, for the former ones, with few exceptions, were very good and always OblIging as are the present ones. Some improvements are being made with reference to stations. Travellers of late could not help observing tne disgusting station at Rock Springs thirty-five miles out from here, but they will soon have the pleasure of passing it without stopping. By it's abandonment by the stage com pany, two mere are established 10 the ad- vantage and comfort Of proprietOrs, driv- CTS, passengers and stock.
 I observed Ed. Richard piling up adObeS between Pima Villages and Maricopa Wells for a new trading establishment. He is evidently going to put up large and good building close to the southern line of the Pima reservation but of 1t. He had dug and found a well of first-rate water, and was working like beaver on the adobeS.
 The Pima agency buildings have lately received some i'm provements, but our stop there was only a few minutes, hence learn ed but little. The general impression IS that the grain crop, not only of the Pimas but the country around them, will be lighter than heretofore. Contractors may have bid too low this year for their own good, to supply the military with barley and corn and probably flour. Quite num- Der of men along the route expressed che hope that they had, so that hereafter the ruinOus low prices lately prevailing would cease for awhile at least.
 InaVe no time to write much in detail. This town is improving substantially. It is quite certain that the Southern Pacific railway will soon reach here--say within two or three years at most. san Diego is an important town and one of much more prospective worth than it yet has credit for. Within few years, both orange and lemon trees have been brought to the bearing age, and everything that can be grown about Los Angeles, can here.

 EDITOR CITIZEN: At o'clock d, m. Of the 24th l again took the Luck board for Silver City with Kentuck" an old guide and Indian fighter for driver whose yarns and anecdotes helped materially to pass away the time. For fifteen miles the road was across fine grassy plain, where much hay is cut for the Silver City and other markets. On leaving this plain, or valley the road enters the foot hills of the Bur TO" mountains over and around which we wind for some six or eight miles when we reach Knights ranch where we stop for breakfast Some three miles before reach ing Knights we saw a number of bears tracks in the road near where, two mOrn- ingS before, the driver killed one of three which were having a frolic in the road |. We also saw twelve large black-tailed deer within easy gunshot but having no gun with us they bounded off unharmed. The Burro mountains and foot hills abound in game such as bear, deer and turkeys. A good breakfast at Knights and haSty glance at his cattle, of which he has about 1000 head, and we rolled off for this place 32 miles arriving here at ? p. m.,-the road the whole distance being over and around small hills and across splendid little val leys, all we'll covered with gramma and ether grasses.
 To sum up the grazing quality of the country between Tucson and Silver City POO miles or over, it is excellent all the way except the first elght miles out of Tucson, the eastern side of the San Simon valley and the Playa or plain west of RalSton and few miles about Silver City, the exceptions in all extending not over % miles of the 200, or one eighth per
