ProeopIo Nurietia.

The way the report of the capture of this famous California bandit, and nephew of Joaquin, got into tine papers was this: \ gentleman came up from Hermosillo some two weeks ago, and told a friend that he had seen ProcOpio, allas Red Dick, convalescing from yell low fever in Hermosillo. Upon such information ex-SherIH Gabriel, oi Pinal county, telegraphed to Los Angeles to know how much reward was Outstand- ing for him. The reply came back, S600. MT. GaSrIel did not deem the amount sufficient to warrant his going after Pro copiO, and staid at home. At the same tiue 6 Mexican named Jose Carris0so, a former partner of Pr1copio. was arrested by Agent Ja,kson for attempting Co cell cattle to the Iudiaus on the Pima reser- vation. He was at first thought Co be Proc0piO, from his resem mblauce tl the latter, and was brought tO Tucson and registered on the prison books under ! that name. The mistake was soon dIs covered, but it gave some color to th,
 report This is al there was of the al | legged capture of ProcOpio.

VULCAN'S VERGE.
An Extinct Volcano Near Tucson
 AWakenS tO Life
4 Description Of this Interesting Phenom
 enon.

It has long been known that a little butte, nsins about the center of the Santa Cruz valley, some nine miles south of Tucson, has a crater.
 Immediately after the earthquakes Of last fall iu California, different people, some farmers and miners, who lived n the vicinity of this particular butte, for which there seems to be no name, ob- served smoke arising from its summi'. A party Of boys out hunting reported hearing strange noises emitted from the same butte, and they were afraid to go pear 1t. i majority of the residents ID
 he vicinity generally discredited these statements. Still DO one felt possessed of enough curiosity to satisfy himself
 Last Thursday prospect0r said that when coming from tka Omega copper camp be certainly saw smoke arising
 from the top Of this butte. Two gen
 rlemen who went out hunting Go Arl-
 vaca, some three weeks ago, wandered
 off from their road, and one night
 camped at the base Of this volcanic
 butte. They heard strange, rumblmg
 sounds in the night, as If water was boiling. or some hard blasting vas be- ing cone far bereath the esrth's sur
 face. They did not explore the hlll,
 not knowing Of the existence Of au!
 crater there.
 These dIfTeren. rumors determined | the CITIZEN reporter to examine the
 butte personally for himself, and see q
 there was cIate-, and il there vas auy
 thing extraordinary about 1t. Accord lmgly last sunday in cOmpaLy with J. c Overshiuer, editor of the Calco Print and C. H. Tu'ly. a small party left Tue son to investigate the alleged volcano. The drive from Tucson was up th' ! Santa Cruz valley through large grove - of mesquite and black willow, and tir.d ot hay, hat presented as fresE and a ! l rural aspects as one could see m au. agricultural c1uutry. No particular . road was followed. 4, last the vOicauI
 butte hove in sight, and after refresL ing lunch at its Oase, and the lnvestlga
 ton of some rlins near by, the ascent d |, 1 ihe butte was begun on it's western sId, ] which appeared to be the easiest of aC , cess. An old Indian trail led up ove ! several well defined ledges, till tne sun ' mt as reached Here the character o
 the rock changed to pumice stone e - lava, a variety that k always found Nher D volcanic action has occurred

Dr. Thurman on th, Weight Of the

It may in general be admitted tha
 the average weight of the bram under
 goes @ progressive iecTease Co a uerO7 somewhere between the twentieth and
 fortieth year According Co all the tables before ms which refer to the same
 the greatest ave z Ee weight for the mal-
 brain ia that for tbe middle deceuula
 period, or from thirty Co forty years; and this. as NJ. Broca observes, agrees per
 fectly with what We know ot the con iinued development of intelligence dnr- tng the whole of this period. For women, the full average size ot the bran IS perhaps attained within the preced ing decade of twenty To thirty years; but ths difference between the two sexes lu this respect is not great From forty tO fifty years there is slight diminution in weight, and a greater me between fifty and sixty. After sl-t! years the rate of decrease is still greater the process of decay becomes more rapid and thus in the eighth decade oi existence the average weight or tle brain is less by more than three ounces fS0 to 90 grammes) than it was ID th. f'Urth decade In the aged, on th- average the weight of the brain de creases "par1 psssu' with the lutel!lg ence. There are many exceptions to this general law, and some, particularly of the more cultivated and learned class, preserve tO extreme age all the fullness and VI -Or Of their faculties. ! he brain 0f such men, as the late Pro lessor GratlOlet observes. remains ID e state of perpetual youth, and los little or none of the weight which belonged to 1t in the prime of life

THE SHELTER.
Aaron Mason Backs square Out From
 His Promises

From George ". Brown, who has Just returned from Florence, We learn that Aaron Mason. whom a Tombstone pppeI facetiously dubbed the Messiah of Tucs0n,- has decided not 60 put up the Tucson shelter according to the prom ises made througa his attorneys and personal interviews with himself by representatives of the press. His thin excuse Is that the narrow gauge people have failed in their promises to him.
 While in Tucson Mir Mason in con- yersation with tue CITIZEN reporter said that when he was ia Tucson las; summer that the narrow gaug- men promised him they would have their road running as far az the Canyada de Gro by September or October, where he says he Las an abundance cf all kinds O. huxes, and cou q easily shlp them here. He laid considerable blame on ;he nar- row gauge people. Ibis Le did not want published. but as long Gs ha las backed out of the smelter proposition We feel free Co give 1t to the public.
 Mir Mason farther says that there are only two Hux mines of any account around here. the AbbIe Waterman and the San Nayler The latter he says is of a.her low grade ore.
 MT. White of the E n-pn smeltCg was at Florence with NIT. Mason last week
 l. IS now understood that the Ben-on folks will put mp samplug works here for ali kiuds Of ore, aud possibly a cop per stack. The prices of ore will be less than If shelter would have been put up here.
 So all that talk about "the delay caused by settling that br ther's estate .in San Franciscu. and "wauting To seq il there were any Aux near Iucsun,' and "the narrow gauge people promised to have their road built to Canyada de Gro by Septemher,' and "l am gomg 10 See that Casa Grande fuI mine, statements which were repeatedly published n the press for the information of the people on the authortY of Mir. Mason himself or his attorneys, were all excuses.
 The truth is that fuxes can just as easily be obtained for a shelter Gt Tue son gS they can at Benson or the new one at Coltou. Laying the blame on ihe narrow gauge people is hke the rob her who cried "stoD thief ID order 10 divert attention from himself.
 The subscription paper that wGs cir culated among aud iiberaily subscribed to by the capitalists of Tucson Go bulld 4 smelter for Mr. Mason Is now of no effect
