WASHINGTON, Sept 8.
A. NJ. Gibson, one Of the origiiAtors of
the star-r0ute prosecutions, is missing. He
has not been seen for six weeks. His
friends have failed, after the most diligent
inquiry, to obtain information as to his
whereabouts. Last spring he commenced
the erection of a handsome residence here,
but work was stopped a month ago, as the
contractor was out of funds. He has since
received no word from his employer. Glib

SHEsHEoUIN, Pa Sept. Q.
The boldest robbery perpetrated in this
section in years was committed by masked
burglars in this village Thursday night.

night, intending to go to Center Valley, and
his wife went to stay with neighbOring
friends, but for some cause unexplained, he
did not go, but remained at home. S"ne-
time during the night he heard noise, and
looking up saw two dark figures in the
room. He fired at them with a revolver
and that was the last he knew until con-
scionsnesS returned this morning, when he
found himself tied hand and foot. Charles
f. Gore went down to his father
store early in the morning, and on re-
turning, being opposite Alliger's house, he
heard some one hallow as if in trouble. He
went to the yard and found Alliger tied as
stated. The latter had worked his way out
of doors trying to get to the neighbOrs by

A MOTH CAVE.
Discovered in the Black Range, by a Party of
Prospeetors.

ASSENNNSAS
The greatest discovery yet made in
this county belongs to two old prospect
ors, Jack Woods and Bill Morris, well
known as men of truth. The cave is
situated in the extreme Black Range
portion of this county, and is comprised
of seven distinct chambers. The en-
trance is scarce large enough for n
to squeeze through. Once Inside, how.
ever, a dazzling brightness awaits the
awe-s,ruck viewer, he standing in a
chamber nearly "A hundred feet long
and about eighty feet wide, with the
ceiling fully seventy-hve feet above.
Thousands Of sciEtillating stalaetites
reach to the floor. while numerous sta
lagmiteS OF fantastic and curious shapes
and indescribable beauty, mystiies and
astOnishes. In The second chamber,
which is reached by descending an al
most perpendicular flight Of stairs Of
twenty stepS,tEe views and picturesque
ness are more beautiful even than in
the first. Gigantic pillars of immense
circumference and continually chang.
ing hues, sparkling like diamonds at
every turn, looming up liketOwering gl-
ants, take the place of the constantly
dripping stalactites. The air Of this
room IS sn2ularly bracing-almOst in
~toXicating. 4 stream Of water, clear
as crystal and of briny saltness, about
twenty feet in width and from four to
ten feet in depth, flows from under tue
north wall, across the floor some sixty
feet, and out again under the south
wall, where can lie heard the rumble Of
a waterfall, evidently but a few feet
away. The next room was the last
explored, and is about a hundred feet
square, with arched roof studded with
twinkling stars fully two hundred feet
from the floor, which is covered with
fine white sand. Some rude implements
Of copper, and of great weight, tell the
story of ages ago. The remaining rooms
were quickly examined, owing to the
failing Of hastily improvised torches,
but each seemed to vie with the other
In beauty and strangeness. In the last
room was discovered a small aperture
leading to the south, through which
pebbles were rolled and heard to drop,
showing that the extent of this Won
derful formation is yet to be determin-
ed. We shall form a part of an explor-
ing party to visit the cave in April, and
will then give a complete and minute
description of the place,-Georgetown
Courier.

its lines is to agitate some adverse
scheme. Capt Cooney at the meeting
Leld in Socorro which suggested this
article, gave the most practical plaI. for
the people of the county seat TO take
hold OF, and that was for them to n
courage substantially the extension Of
the narrow gauge road which is build
ing from the Southern Pacific road TO
Clifton, Arizona, to come through to
their place. The scheme is not imprac-
ticable and might he carried out, OF at
any rate il would stir up the Santa Fe
folks to do something, The best plan
for SOcorro to pursue would be to call
an election TO vote. say 100000 county
bonds in aid Of the construction of the
Clifton road. 1t is not probable that
proposition would carry the first time
nor the second, but the subject could
be constantly agitated and frequent
votes could be taken and eventually it
may possibly carry. 1t will act a. a
scare if it does nothing else, and scare
has accomplished many things which
love and persuasion have been power
less to handle. Will the people of So
zorro think soberly Of this and see if
the scheme is not good.

SocOrrO is still agitating the scheme
of a railroad from that place to the Mo
gollons by way of the Black range. A
party of Santa Fe railroad officials who
lately came along the line and stopped
at SocorrO for a few hours, stated that
as things appeared now nothing was
likely to he done by the company in
extending branch lines in New Mexico
at prese,,t. The officials stated further
that when the road TO the Black range
Is built, as it undoubtedly will be some
time, that it would be run out from
SocOrro, and also that if the people of
the section to be benefited can show
The company that there is likely to be
sufficient business from the districts to
be visited by the desired road to pay a
dividend of six per cent. upon the cost
Of constructing and operating, that no
time will be lost in putting the project
through. a meeting was held in So
zorro on Thursday of last week and a
committee consisting of Col. Eaton of
the Magdalenas, Capt. Cooney of the
Mogollons and V. Il. Beckett of the
Black range was chosen to report the
apparent and possible resources of their
districts, for transmission to the cam-
pany. OF course by this action there is
no harm done and it serves to keep the
subject agltated which is always desir-
able, but that any direct benefit will
result is not at all likely. The railroad
company keeps pretty thoroughly post
ed regarding the resources and advan-
tages Of the country which it considers
within the limits of its territory, and
the citizens of the same can tell them
little news. The assurance of building
at once if a six per cent.diyidend business
could be guaranteed was simply wind
blown to keep public sentiment waving
gently toward themselves, and the talk
of the officers that Socorr0 would surely
be made the junction of the branch and
main lines amounts to nothing. Those
things are not determined by subordi-
nate officials but by stockholders, and
the said officers know no more where
the branch will be built from than do
the citizens of SocorrO. There is this
fact that the people of all sections may
be sure of: the Santa Fe company will
not build branches where it does not
have TO protect its interests, and the
only way to get this company to extend
