CORES pOfld0Hce Neto York Tribune.
Flagstaff year ago was an unredeemed
Inferno; now it is for the most part quiet
and of good repute. 1t owes its perma-
nency to the timber business. From
northwestern Arizona down to the south
east into western New Mexico stretches
a vast belt of magnificent pine forest.
Here the belt is cut by the railroad just
under the shadow of the San Francisco
Mountains. The trees are of extraordinary
height, straight and huge in their proper
tions. Between them there is no under
growth-all is clear and open. Here and
there the openings widen out into beauti-
full natural parks, clothed with rich
growth of grass. No finer cattle country
could be imagined, save for lack OF water.
Water is almost literally as precious as
gold. Men 90 out prospecting for springs
lust as the miner searches for groupings
of ore. He who secures a spring can con-
troll thousands of acres of land. But the
springs are few, often small, and not
always trustworthy. The Little Antelope
spring, which supplies the cluster of
cabins hard by, sometimes runs dry.
Then water is hauled in barrels for miles
and sold like any other commodity. The
saw mill, which runs out 100000 feet of
lumber day to supply contract of 3D.
OOO. 600 feet for the Mexican Central Rail-
way, is run by steam power. Yet for this
it is necessary to pump the water in pipes
from springs nine miles away. At Wins
low the railroad company sunk an arte-
sian well ZOO feet and struck salt water,
At Ash Fork they sunk another well,
which proved failure.
From the line of New Mexico the rail-
road runs for many miles through the
barren valley OF the Rio PuercO. The
river bed is broad, but the stream itself
is only a scanty rivulet. Yet when there
comes one of the sudden, fierce, thunder
storms peculiar to this region the plains
are flooded, and in an hour the river be-
comes raging torrent. have seen this
happen again and again, for it is the
rainy season now; but in few hours the
water disappears, the torrents plunge in
to underground watercourses, and the
sands are parched as before. 1t has been
suggested that huge stone tanks be con-
structed to hold the water, instead of per-
hitting it to flow off at once. The sug-
gestion seems a good one. Artesian wells
have never obtained much success in the
western country, and the water problem
remains one of vital Importance.

LosroN THE GREAT CONTINENT,
The Heir to a German Fortune Who
Escaped from a Prison to America.


A young man with piercing dark eyes,
heavy dark mOustache and sOldierly bear
ing, called upon Acting Superintendent
ThOrne at police headquarters. He intro
duced himself as Gustav Langenberg, a
native of Dusseldorf, in Rhenish Prussia.
He came to this country three months ago
in search of his brother, Karl Langen-
berg. Three years ago an aunt, Mrs.
RockOch, died, leaving the brothers her
property, which amounts to $250,00 The
estate cannot be administered until such
time as Karl Langenberg can be found or
legal proofs of his death are produced.
Mr.. Langenberg, in conversation with
Superintendent Walling, said that in 1876
his brother served in a regiment in the
Green Hussars, at present garrisOned in
Dusseldorf. Being an expert in the hand
ling of horses, Prince Salm, commander
of the regiment, detailed him to take
charge of his the Prince's) stable. Lam
genberg, who received quite a large
salary, became eXtravagant in his outlay
of money and fell into bad habits. One
day he became involved in a quarrel with
two of his brother officers, and all three
were badly wounded. He was left I'M
conscious, with sabre cut that opened
his head.
The injured men were found by the
patrol lying the ground near their quar-
ters. Langenberg was tried for assault
ing the two officers and was sentenced to
fifteen months Imprisonment. Being
still i'll from his wound he was confined
in the hospital in the citadel of Wesel,
from which place he escaped, it is said,
with the c6nnivance of the Prince by
creeping through a portfolio and SWIM
ming a ditch. He made his way to Brus-
sells, but remained there only a short
time. He then went to London, and from
thence he came to this country. Langen-
berg found employment in Philadelphia
with hOrse-trainer and made some
money. The next heard of him by his
family was from Austin, Texas. From
thence he went to Santa Monica, in south
ern California. While there he wrote
home, enclosing his picture and saying
that he thought of going to Australia.
That was in 1871, and nothing has since
been heard from him. Gustav Langen-
berg. the missing mans brother, before
taking passage Yesterday afternoon for
Marseilles on the steamer Independence,
thought as a last resort, he would call
upon Superintendent Walling. He is an
artist and has received an appointment at
the Nice International Exposition.

sherman and sheridan.

The Albany Argus slashes off the fol-
lowing pen and ink sketch of these two
military worthless:
Gen. William r. Sherman on Thursday
yielded command of the army to Lieut..
Gen. Philip II. Sheridan. The powers of
the latter are increased, but not his rank.
The law is that the rank of General shall
lapse on the death of Sherman, and that
of Lieutenant General on the death of
Sheridan. This was with the view of re-
storing eventually the old system of hav-
ing the highest rank that of Major Gene
raj, the senior Mai Or General to command
the army, under the constitutional con-
troll of the President as COmmander-in-
Chief of the land and naval forces BOTH
The change from Sherman to Sheridan is
an interesting historical event. Both are
men of genius. The genius of each
is similar in its intense vitality,
but unlike in all other respects. Sher-
man is a great strategist as well as a
great campaigner, scholar, a cYnic, an
orator, Walter, kisser, a strong hater
for short while, an egotst, terrible in
war, lazy in peace, with a sporadic energy
in authorship. full of cheer for ''the boys"
and of raillery for the girls. Peace makes
a Bohemian of him-but he has an old
soldiers dogmatism, testlness, anecdote,
and as a citizen his common sense is
amazing in its amount. His are the
weaknesses which hang on the neck of
strength. Sheridan's genius has so far
been illustrated only by handling troops
in action, by imprOyising resources or de-
vices in great emergencies, and by his
ability to inspire confidence of spirit
and celebrity of movement among his
men. In these regards he never
had a superior in the Union army. He
has few powers extraordinarily devel-
oped. Sherman has so many so power
fully developed that they border on the
thin partition which divides grand ca
pacity from sublimated crankism. Re-
specting books, society and pleasure,
Sheridan is commonplace. He is intense
in battle, but not intellectual out of it.
Bureaucratic work and sheer posing duty
chafed Sherman, and will be intolerable
to Sheridan; but both men have such a
hold on the history and heart of the land
that they can do anything, within the
law, which they please, except run for
President or exploit five aces.

bankers, Opinions.

ON last Friday the New York COmmer-
cidt Advertiser contained interviews with
fifteen bankers on three important sub
iects, viz, the extinction of the national
bank circulation, the compulsory silver
coinage law and the necessity for a
national bankrupt law. Eight were New
York and seven Philadelphia bankers.
There was not much diversity in their
views. They all recognized the fact that
at the present rate of paying off the
national debt it would not be very long
before the basis of the national bank cir
cuIation would be destroyed. The ma
jority Of them were in favor of making
no further reduction of the public debt
and of refunding the debt, as the bonds be-
come due, into long time 211 or per cent.
bonds. This bank question is now before
the country and cannot be ignored. Unjust
be settled. 1t is admitted that the
national bank system is the best
the country has ever had, and the ma
tional bank currency is the most satisfac-
tory. How is the system to be preserved:
OF course if the revenues exceed
the expenditures of the government
the surplus must be applied to the cXtln-
guisbment of the debt. There is no other
wav to dispose of the surplus, and if
there were. It is doubtful if the people
would consent TO be taxed simply to main
tain the national bank system. The only
way that the system can be preserved for
a good long time, with the debt as its
basis. is the reduction of the revenues.
If the tariff were so reduced as to yield
only sufficient to meet the expenses of
the government, the interest on the debt
and to provide a small sinking fund for
the gradual eXtinguishment of the debt,
part of the present burden of taxation
would be removed, and the national bank
ing system would be preserved for, per-
haps, couple of generations.
About all the interviewed bankers were
in favor of stopping the coinage of silver,
and all of them favored the enactment of
a national bankrupt law.
