4. D. Otis < Co

| The enterprise exhibited by Messrs
 A. D. Otis < Co. in their efforts to satis
 fy the growing demands of Q prosperou:
 community are meeting with just and
 deserving appreciation. not only from
 the people of tucson and contiguous country, but from the State lying south and beyond the jurisdiction of Uncle Sam. In crockery and glassware do purchasers find 1t especially advanta- geous to buy of the firm named. In the first place, the stock carried IS as full and complete as can be found in any house on the Pacific coast, and further because the prices are such as to compete successfully with the heaviest houses in San Francisco, thus enabling their patrons to avoid payment of op- pressivs freIghts, with consequent in- crease of profits to the jObbing trade and a corresponding saving to the pOck- cts too of the retail buyers. The same firm are also proprietOrs of one of the largest lumber yards to be found in the Territory, not less than million feet being constantly kept on hand. Orders large aud small are filled with equal promptitude. Mining timbers and builders materials are made speciality.

BEHIND THE BARS,
Who Are in the County Jail and What Brought Them There

] Who Are Tn the County Jail and What Brought Them There
 The county jail of Pima county is probably as comfortable, light and airy an abode as the most fastidious rascal could desire. The iron gratings of the cells, and the lron-clad cells themselves, are suggestive of the remorseless grip of stern law, and the unmusical clanking or chalns occasionally sends shudder- ing chill to the more sensitive and polished criminal whose keenness in rascally ways have been met with official sharpness and felon's letters.
 The iailor, Mir. 1. ". Holbrook, IS very attentive to his duties, and his good qualities of heart are often severely trled by the necessarily harsh duties demanded of him. Mir. M. Ii. Clifford is guard, and Messrs. A. E. CarrIllO and R. halnsbury are night guards.
 The books of the iailor show the fol- lowing prisoners incarcerated, together with the offenses for which they are held:
 Chas. Howard, robbery. snatched a portmonaie from Mrs McCann on the streets of Tucson. He is held in S2,O0O bail.
 Daniel Moore, arson, burning house on ranch which he claimed he owned. He Is held without bail.
 Henry Sinclair, robbery. He entered a store at La Norla to rob 1t and was shot and wounded by the people and ar rested.
 Wm. DoEahey, murder; on change of venue from Yuma county.
 Samuel Jacobs, burglary. He robbed Snyder and Reeds room in this city.
 James Knight, forgery, obtalned money on forged checks.
 James Casey, robbery, escaped once or twice, lately brought from Texas by | the Sheriff Is said to be desperate | character.
 Francisco Torres, burglary.
 Margarito Ochoa, burglary,
 Florencio Lopez, grand larceny, steal | ing horse.
 J. J. Currisoa, Papago Indian, as- sault to kill his wife.
 M. Enright, burglary; no particulars given.
 Alex. Hellander, forgery: forged bill of sale for government horse. He is a soldier.
 Leon Rubio, murder: held for Graham County.

Reduction Works.

lt has been stated, evidently by per
 sons who had not given the subject
 proper thought, that in the erection of
 reduction works in Tucson Q capital
 ranging from fifteen to fifty thousand
 dollars would be sufficient to cover all
 possible contingencies. This is Q grave
 mistake, and were 1t made, i. would re-
 suit disastrously to the enterprise and
 to the prospects of this city as mining
 center. To erect proper works capable
 or treating all classes Of ore in an econ
 omical manner, would require the ex-
 pendlture of no less than Sl00,000, and
 from that sum up to S25O,0 900, according
 10 the magnitude of the proposed un-
 dertaklng. The company erecting the
 works, to insure full supply of ores, must begin to purchase by sample from
 the start, and the miners and prospec- tors on every hand, stimulated by the certainty Of obtaining ready cash for the product of their mines, will bring in ore Tn quantities from hundred pounds to that number of tons, and the money deriYed from its sale will give them means to further develop, and from that tune on renewed activity in mining will De the rule, and as a sequence the pros- perity of the city.
 The company must nave funds to purchase all the ore offered for sale. and 1 be m condition, If the supply exceeds the | capacity of the works, to store 1t for fu- | ture manipulation. A company with | small capital cannot do this without | itself and meeting many fnan- | cal embarrassments. For lack of | proper appliances the small company | could not reduce the ores at the small | cost the larger works could. The Grant smelter Tn Denver works ore at an expense of less than 8 per ton, and SlO pays big profit. Less complete works could scarcely work S10 ore at all Grd as much ot the difference in the cost of reduction is the profit of the mi ner, It IS reasonable to suppose that the cost of reduction will com mand greater quantity of compara- lively low grade ores, and the venture be less experimental as an enterprise.
 As Tucson must have reduction works It's enterprising people should endeavor to induce such men of wealth as the pro- pr1etors of the Argo works at Denver, who can spare millions without my embarrassment whatever Thelr attention has already been called to this subject and proper presentation of the natter would probably meet with favor lble consideration.

What Pete Kitchen Got,


 "Nhat Pete Kitchen got in Sonora is a simile whose pertinency and anti quity has rendered 1t dear to Arlzonans, but 1t must be relegated to the past, for a recent visit by the worthy old pioneer to the Hand of the manyRna" WAS dis tinguished by q more singular exploit than marked his traditional visit. A few weeks ago he and his family went to Guaymas on a visit, and during their stay there made an excursion upon the waters of the Gulf of California on fishing purposes intent. While sailing peacefully along with a strong hook and line trolling, a large shark was caught by the latter, and came near upsettng the light craft in which the party were. The skipper Tn charge attempted to cut the line to free them from their trouble some catch, but Pete, true to the instincts which never yet permitted him to turn his back on an enemy, caught the line and held on until the shark in its endeavors to get loose approached the boat, when he drew hls ever-present revolver and shot the monster as its convulsive movements brought its back for a moment above water. The terror of the party was turned to rejoicing when it was discovered that the true marksmanship had accomplished its purpose. and the prize was lowed back to the city with much pride.

What tO do With the Indians.

It Is plain fact that as long as the
 Apaches live in Arizona, they will start
 some day or other to murder the citizens,
 but the question that puzzles everyone
 Is, where shall We place them in the
 land of Columbia, whence they may not sail out on their murderous career? If
 they are to be placed in an absolutely safe place, It must be no other than in a jail. The objection to thls proposition IS the number, and the idea of encarcer- ating a whole nation, cannot be enter taIned as a practical job
 We cannot, in like manner, slaughter the tribe right ont. for should We come to that pass, the very Arizonans whose sufferiugs have tempered him to the sticking point, would revolt and the knife drop from his grasp before he had accomplished the task.
 Are We then without a remedy against the scourge? l think We have a compar- atively, cheap and practical solution: it IS the transportation of the whole tribe to an island in the Pacific Ocean. At first sight, the attempt looks ImpractiGa- ble and costly, but let us see.
 The government for the purpose should concentrate four thousand men, to apprehend and hold in safety every man, woman and child. The feeding of the prisoners would not cost more than now. The concentration of the troops, would cost less than the yearly cam palgns undertaken upon the regular raids of the Apaches from Arizona to Mexico and back again.
 Transportation from Wilcox to San Francisco, at emigrant rates, unless the philanthropist would have them go in palace sleeping cars, S3O per head, and 4OOO would amount to S120O00. From San Francisco to the island at $50 per head, Sl2OOO0. Incidental expenses, S2O0.OO0. Total S440.OO0. But we will call 1t one million dollars and 1t would be cheap.
 How much does 1t cost the government now to keep them on the reservation? ? First 2,OO0 men, who by the estimate of Congress, cost Sl.000 a man per year, equal to two million dollars. Second two raids a year, by which troops are moved all over the country from the Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean. one million more. Total three millions. 1
 I am not military man, but would l for the amount which the l government now uses each year to keep | the Apaches, transport them to an island or to some place where they l would rest in peace.
 It Is true, the Indians would resist | and object, but they have no more right | tO object than the murderer has to the | rope that hangs him. s. A.

Fire iR Tombstone.


 Tuesday evening fire broke out m Mrs. Noh's residence. one of TOW ot iiimsily built cottages on Allen street, below Second, and in a short time the house was enveloped in flames. The alarmed v as turned Tn, but before the hose carriages were on the ground the two adjoining houses, belonging to Harry Kingsbury, also lent fuel to the progress of the flames. As soon as wat er was turned on the fire was under con- trol, the force alone being enough to demolish the walls of the burning build ings. Mrs. King succeeded in saving most of her furniture, but her loss will probably reach Sl,000. Johnny Meagh- CTS house, on the west, caught fire sev- eral times, but was promptly extinguish- ed. His loss. though. will be consid- erable from water. Kingsbury's houses were badly damaged, and his loss is in the nsighborhood of 500.

Here Is law as is a law. The California Assembly has tackled the insanity dodge and come out ahead. It has passed a law that makes insanity in the defend ant about as bad as case of murder. The man who pleads insanity as cause of crime, shall first be examined as to his sanity without regard to the crime charged. If it IS decided that he is sane, then he shall be tried for the murder committed and his false plea IS to be treated as an aggravatIon of the Offense. If proven to be insane, he will be placed in an insane asylum at once and for life, so that he may commit no more murders. If after going to the asylum it ever tran spires that he was sane he shall be re- moved and tried for murder on the origuai charge. \ law like that ID every State would at least prevent murder from being us funny as 1t often is.

The Omega Explosion.

The latest developments of this out rage, are the following: At the place where the water pipe was blown up, sev- eral more fuses were found ready for use. 4 lot of blood was discovered and a trail made by burro or q pony. It is conjectured that the wounded man, Cameron had probably been placed on the animal and taken to his cabin, as the tracks go in that direction, and blood was discovered in several places, especially in one where the wounded man was probably laid down for awhile and where there IS considerable blood.
 Cameron last night made a confession duplicating Doe WarIng and heener, Tn the attempt to blow up the pipe. and a little girl at the Columbia mine over heard Keener say to Waring: "D-n you, you got me into this trouble; if 1t had not been for you I would not be in this hole"
 There are several things mentioned by witnesses which seem to point to the fact that Doc Waring is the leader Tn the conspiracy, and they are not at all 10th to state this. One fact Is that Waring was discharged from the Omega some time ago, and was subsequently ordered away from tine grounds. He IS also known to have been very bitter against Hon. Fred. Hughes, one of the owners of the Omega. He had jumped some of his claims, and said to one party that he would jump more of them and make unpleasantness for Hughes, or words to that effect.
 The story of the killing of the skunk as told by the prisoners IS dIsbelieved, for the reason that the skunk was shot by bullet through the head, and that the wound received by Cameron could not have been inflicted by a loose blast in the chimney, as 1t was stated by the trio, especially when Cameron, who wore two shirts was already 20 or 9 feet away from the cabin, when he was hit by stone as they allege.
 However, CRmeron's confession does away with all the doubts concerning the matter, and If the prosecution can fasten the commission of the crime and the upon Doc Waring, as the testimony of witnesses seems to Indic- ate, the probabilities are that he may be to term of years in the

4 Contrast.

The investigation into the Tewksbury aimshouse management Is developing a ghastly array of nhuman. crimes and criminal acts. This state of affairs in the highly "culchared" and civilized commonwealth of Massachusetts seems tO create but small ripple of excite ment there, but had those matters trans plred Tn a frontier terrItory like Ari- zona, those delicate eastern hands would have been elevated in holy horror that people should be permitted to live and commit such outrageous crimes.
 The people of the east mistake the temper of the hardy frontiersmen. Iii a fact that in the city of Tucson, lady unattended can pass up or down any street, in front of the gambling houses where crowds are standing at all hours, without having her delicate senses shocked by vulgar expressions, or re- celvlng a single insult. Yet of how many eastern cities of the size of Tue son can ths be said d? Here but few drunken brawls occur, and there Is less crime committed than in the older set tied and so-called more civilized cities. In the busy frontier towns there Is but httle.time to indulge in offenses, and swift retribution following atroeious crime deters men from engaging in it. Added to this, there is rough species of honor existing on the frontier that covers a multitude of shortcomings in the glittering external polish of the eatern centers,

Dr. Handy and Father Antonio Jou- venceau, while at Benson a few days ago, accepted an invitation by Supt. J.. H. Scott to make a visit to Guaymas. Father Antonio, although having re- sided in Arizona for the past fourteen years, had never visited Sonora, and he was thankful for such an occasion to make flying trip. They visited Ggay- mas and Hernosillo, stopping long enough in each place to look at the most interesting features of each. Father Antonio says that times are dull in So- nora, and that the Indian troubles had apparently paralyzed everything. Peo- pie are afraid to leave their houses, and the Indians have things pretty much their own way. There are two thousand Mexican troops on the border. but the Indians have gone through their lines. and are operating between the troops and the settlements.
