impression that seems to exist in the
minds of many with whom l have con-

idea of utilizing some Of the many old
steamers on this coast as floating can

not for the Yukon river. The mouths
Of that river are between the ATTITUDES

be inferred from the fact that 1000

below that point.
As to the quantity. and especially the
quality of salmon caught in that river,
am sure that it will exceed the most

acres of salmon hung up to dry in the

methods of the natives. The river is

CACHZSE.
BY W. s. oURY.
Continued from the Star.)

(C0nunued from the Stdf)
 But not to get ahead of my story will here mention that st the same time that the messenger was dispatched to Tucson, another WAS sentlo Fort Buchanan fer medical aid, which was promptly rendered by Post Surgeon B. D. J. Irwin, who, accompanied by two men, started for the scene of labor and, in what is now called the Sulphur Spring valley, he run upon three Coyotero Apaches with stolen stock, and charging them gallant ly, routed and took them, stock and all, into the pass; making, with the three captured by Lieut.. Dascon1, at the time of Cachise's escape, six bucks held by him. At the tune of our arrival, which was about sun down, it being late and the Dragons having made @ very long, hard march during the day, the senior officer, Lieut.. Moore, concluded that it was best to do nothing until next morning, thus giving the night to rest his tired men and an opportunity to your correspondent to learn all that had transpired up to the time of our arrival, which opportunity he did not fail to improve. In addition to what has already been related he learned that the night after Wallace, the driver, was siezed by the Indians, they brought him on the hillside east of the station and stuck up stick with a paper on which Wallace with a piece of charcoal had written, ordered by Cachise, " Treat my people well and I will do the same by yours, of whom I have three." This was the first that Lieutenant BascOm knew that the Indians had anOth- CT white man than Wallace. The next morning, while the soldiers and employees of the Overland Mail Co. were driving the stock to water at the spring, about six hundred yards east of the station, Cachise, who had already seen that they only went to the spring for water once a day, had placed his men in ambush in the brushy canyon which leads to the spring. Allowing them to reach the water without making any demonStra- tion, and on their return fell upon them and stampeding the stock, drove it away, killing one em- ployee Of the stage company, Moses Lyons. Wounding another and also soldier, and leaving the mail company entirely destitute of animals with which to carry the mails,
 The next seen of Cachise was the following day when he came down with a large party of his warriors, concealing his men iii q deep ravine which comes down fIom the mountain. about seventy yards west of the station and, hay. ing tied Wallace's hands behind him with a long rope attached sent him up 10 the level ground to hail the people for a barley, the Indians being all so thoroughly concealed in the ravjne that not one was visible from the station. Lieut.. Bascom held conversation with Wallace, who told him that he would as soon be killed out right as to longer suffer from colo and hunger as he had. He wa: taken, it will be remembered, 1T his shirt sIeevs, and in the month of February the cold is very severe in Apache Pass, and the fend. had then kept him several night
 without even giving him blank ct to protect him from the cold

 being seen.
 My readers will have no hesita- tion in saying that so far as we have gone Cachise has had decid- edIy the best of all operations, but the sequel will show that before the end the tables were turned. It will be recoliected that the incidents last recorded were leiat- ed the night ofthe writer's arrival with the Dragoons at the station, and that or the morr0W we would make scout with the object Oi finding Cachise and puhishing his misdeeds. So in the morning. bright and early, all hands were mounted and we were off to SCOUT the mountains in search of Ca chise. After traversing the ChIr. icahuas in every direction and finding nothing but signs several days old, we came into a small valley on the western side of the Chiricahua range where we came upon the carcasses of three bodies one of which, upon eXamiation, l knew to be that of Wallace by the gold filling of some of his teeth, and the other two could be no others than his fellow prisoners. They had been tortured to death probably two days before, most likely the very night of the day in which Wallace had held the conversation with Lieut.. BascOm. All the bodies were literally rid dled with lance holes. We com. menced to gather them together, and some of the Dragoons were sent to the station to bring tools to dig graves in which to bury 1 them. Whilst waiting for tools the writer and some others went in search of a suitable place to bury our dead and found that the valley lead down to the stage road, near which, at the foot of a mound studded with oak trees, we selected our burial ground, and here sadly and silently we com mitted their mutilated bodies to mother earth, and upon the cOun- tenances of those who surrounded that sacred spot could be read the resolve that the red fiendS should pay for their barbarity, and as we wended our way slowly back to the station a discussion commence ed among the men, which was soon taken up by the officers and and all, whether it would not be best to take all the Indians that were held at the station by Lieut.. Bascon and hang them to the trees that shaded our new made grave, and before we reached the the station it was so decided. Soon afterwe had unsaddled our horses Lieut.. Moore went to Lieut.. Bas- com, in whose charge the Indian prisoners were, and told him what it had been determined to do. He objected 10 the proposition, saying
 that he was in charge Of the h. dians and would be censured for allowing such disposition to be
 made of his prisoners. Lieut..
 Moore then told him that he was
 the ranking officer and would as-
 sume all responsibility. This set. ting the dispute. that night all arrangements were made by the Dragons, and early the next
 morning the Indians were march ed out to the mound above the grave and, six in number, were : hanged upon the oak trees. Tine boy and squaw, after witnessing the hanging were put in a wagon l and taken to Fort Buchanan. anG soon set at liberty.

DowS WrrH THE DUsr.-An architec-
tural journal says that the injuries
done by the dust are the most serious
to which mechanics and operatives are
subjected. Whenever filings and fine
particles are produced, il is very i'm
portant TO prevent their introduction
into the lungs; even an occasional ex-
posure may do harm; and one contin-
ued for months and years will certain
ly produce fatal results. DIR. B. w.
Richardson, OF England, after several
experiments with inhaling air through
cotton, layers OF Grape, ETC., finds the
best arrangement to be a number OF
feathers arranged around q perforated
breathing tube Of convenient size, so
as TO closely cover all the perforations;
by breathing through the tube the
feathers are drawn TO the perforations
by inspiration, and by expiration they
are lifted from the openings. and all
the intercepted dust is blown of. The
latter makes the arrangements with
cotton or Grape Objectionable, as their
pores are soon filed with the dust as
we'll as the moisture inhaled by the
breath. The tube is attached to an ar
rangement which allows it to be put on
and taken off as easily as pair OF
spectacles.

1--WE are fools when we travel" is q
proverb that was beautifully illustrat-
ed OF the Union Depot yesterday. A
man whose wife was aboard Lake
Shore train came into the restaurant
and bought q cup OF hot coffee. He
wanted the waiter 10 be sure and have
il hot. He started TO carry IL to the
train when he saw O train going out
over the Wabash Road. He thought
that il was his train. He imagined
that he could hear bis wife aboard
shouting for him TO hurry mp and not
be left. He did hurry-he fairly few.
He held the coffee in one hand and
fairly clawed the air with the other as
he tore down through the depot at the
rate OF 55 miles an hour. He jumped
over two trunks and porter and wav-
ed the coffee wildly in the air. A hot
shower bath Of the boiling iquid-''Be
sure and it's bilin' hot" he had said to
the waiter--came down en- his face,
coursed in q cataract down his back
and fresoocd his shirt front with some
unique designs. Every time the coffee
stopped over on him he swore. and fin-
ally his swears could not keep pace
with the slops. He tore down through
the depot like buffalo on the roarin'
prairie. At length, when he had es-
corted the train almost 10 the farther
end OF the depot, he heard from some
quarter back in the building a well
known voice scream "Davidr' He
looked back and there, waving her
nasal napkin from the window Of the
very car where he had left her, he saw
