SURRENDERED.
YOUTHFUL THIEF TELLS HIS
 STORY.

This morning, smooth faced youth, eighteen years of age, and dressed in blue blouse and overalls, accosted Chief Johnson, and astonished that officer by stating that he wanted to be placed Tn custody. He gave his name as Henry c. Johnson, and said that his father was turnkey in the jail of an Ontario town. He ran away from home last year, and finally after experiencing the unpleas- ant vicisitudes of tramp life, found him self last October on farm near Cam bridge, Pennsylvania. There he worked for several weeks and accidentally dis covered the secret depository of his employers money, in all about $500 Temptation thus thrown on his way was too strong to resist, and one night he stole the entire amount, all bank bills, and left the State. He visited Chicago, St. Louis, Fit. Worth, and at last brought up in Kansas City. Although he had been reckless Tn spending his money he had a couple of hundred left when the latter town was reached. But getting in the clutches of fast women there, he lost every cent. and during the past month he had wandered from place to place seeking work, and with ill-success. Saturday he arrived in Tncson. He searched for employment, but found none. Tired and hungry, Respondent and reckless of consequences, he told his story to the Chief. He preferred going back to Pennsy lvania and standing trial to remaining here and starving to death. He said there was a reward for him of $500, and this the officer could secure. Clark Is now in a cell, calm and con- fortable. Chief Johnson will telegraph at once to Cambridge and thereby learn what truth there is in the boys state meut

Messrs. Davis & Mckay. Ranehers.

Messrs. Wm. c. Davis and Alex. Me- Kay have associated themselves in the ranch business. under the firm name of Davis * Mckay. These gentlemen are not doing what many feared when they made the sale of tue bOuanza mines, namely, take their fortunes and fly to fairer fields. They intend remaining, and invest their money in the business of the territory.
 Their ranch, having a grazing area of 30 by 15 miles of the finest grass in the territory, is situated 8 mlles from Tue son, north of the Chapel mountains in the Santa Catalinas. They are busy to- day purchasing supplies for the new business. Lumber for tanks and trOughs Is being sent out, and a gang of men employed to open mp the water The water supply is abundant, there being several sources from which to draw it. For greater convenience they will lay five miles of pipe and convey the water from mountain depot down into the valley north of the Santa CatalInas They propose tO have one of the finest ranches in the Territory, if money, good location and constant attention can make one.
 Also they have a mine near by, show ing fine gold ore, which they will work Mir. Mckay has had the prospect several years, and until he made the bonanza strike, was only waiting for tune and means to fully develope #.

That Coal.

The recently reported discovery of
 bituminous coal, made b. Messrs.
 Graves, Champion and Brewster, in the Tombajeho range, about thirty-ive
 miles southwest of Casa Grande and
 from which a coke superior to the best
 English in the market, was to have been
 made, has by the chemical analysis of
 Prof. E. A. Frenzel, been resolved into
 the discovery of vast bed of scoriaci- GUS lava, the component parts of winch
 gre silica and feldspar, neither of which have any commercial value whatever
 It is, as per said analysis, 'insolvable in either nitric or sulphuric acid, hot or cold is slightly effervescent in boiling muriatic acid Under the blow pipe 1t Is infusible unless fluxed with borsx or soda The Tambsjeho range Is said to be formation of granite and limestone and has an elevation of some 1000 or 5000 feet The peculiarity of the mouu- tain Is large spring of water on its apex, from whi2h flows a stream of sev- eral inches capacity About 1t are strewn many relics of the prehistoric and pres ent race of Indians, who with great labor constructed a road to 1t from the plaln below The solid rock over which the road passes has, by centuries of travel, been worn to a depth of three and four feet The lava bed has an apparent thickness of sixty feet and covers m area of about six miles. Although the ardor of its discoverers have been some what damped by the acid and blow pipe revelations they nevertheless propose to | explore it further by cutting drift close to its under surface.

WAS IT A ROBBERY.
TWO MYSTERIOUS DODGERS AT THE
 GRAND CENTRAL.

Last Saturday afternoon, two men arrived in this city, and stopped at the Grand Central Hotel. One registered himself as Livingstone, and the other as Golf. They informed Dr. White, the proprietor, that they were both in the employ of Wells, Fargo Co.,, and had come here on special business. Golf atterward, however, stated that Living stone was a comparative stranger to him, having met each other on the train for the first time The latter had travelled on Wells, Fargo pass, issued for the trip between San Francisco and this city. It was, however. written in the name of Dollar, and not Livingstone. Golf produced a yearly pass over the s. P. R. R., issued by the company. As they arrived together and were acquainted, they were permitted to occupy room together.
 The next morning about day light Golf summoned the proprietor, and said that Livingstone had left H. the night, ana carried OH sulL oI ClOt0tS DelpuE- ing to Golf, and S20 in cash. This must have been done between aud a. m., when Golf was sleeping very sound.
 Chief of Police Johnson was at once informed of the theft, and he began search for the offender. It is certain be left oD no train, and as he is not in town, it IS believed he has gone to QuiiotOa. An officer has been sent there to look after him. He is described as follows: } feet 10 inches in hIght, thin chested, httle st op in the shoulders, slender, smooth faced, grey eyes, and between 30 and 3i years of age. He wears a dark brown stiff hat, yellOwish brown coat, light colored pantaloOns.
 Golf would not wait to see Living stone arrested, and left for Fl Paso yes terday. Dr. White believes that the whole affair is a game put up to save thelr lodging bill Golf said, after he was robbed, that of course he couldn't pay because his money was gone, and Livingstone skipped without the neces- Eity of msking any excuses.

THE SHELTER PROJECT.
EXPRESSION or SENTIMENT BY COUNTY
 TAXPAYERS.

The taxpayers of Pima county are re- plying slowly to the question asked by the Board of Supervisors as to their method of disposing of the s15,OOO ap- propriation of county bonds. So far iifty-four postal cards have been re- ceived decidedly favoring the appropri- ation to the smelter company, with only fifteen in the negative.
 There have been several taxpayers heard from who define their position on the mOmentous question at more length than simple mo" or "yes"
 One gentleman, a prominent member of the bar, says:
 "lf the board retains right of regulat- ing smelting charges, and of confining the use of the smelter to custom ores, and exacts good bonds from the persons to whom the subsidy shall be made Yes. But l express no opinion ss to the validity of such contract being made"
 Another property owner, man identi- fed with educational institutions writes thusly:
 "YOur circular gives no information uo eb AAAO NboA bi t-AO HIppo6cd I am not in favor of giving Sl5,0OO county bonds to erect a Sl0,0O0 shelter. If the parties proposing to erect it give bonds to build smelter of cost of not less than S75,0O0 I am in favor of the propo- sltion; otherwise not in favor of it."
 A commission merchant expresses his views in the following language:
 "I earnestly protest against granting Sl5,OOO, or any other amount, by Pima county, to assist in the erection of smelt- ing works at Tucson, or to any other private enterprise. Emphatlcally, Nor
 One taxpayer, and certainly no other has interests in more valuable property, writes to the board that ''I vote yes, pro viding a similar amount is invested by the recipients in the construction of the shelter"
 Another indefinitely answers: "Yes, under proper restrictions" And one of rather a suspicious nature IS ready to enter an affirmative answer, Provided said works be erected; otherwise, Nor

A GOOD SCHEME.
THE RAILROAD FIRE ENGINE TO BE USED
 FOR CITY PURPOSES.

It is understood that the Chief En giaeer of the Fire Department Is con cudlng arrangements with the railroad authorities, to hereafter act together and ia harmony when fire visits the city It Is known that during the progress of the Opera House fire, the apparatus orned by the $. P. R. R Company was found uDserviceable, on account of the rotten state of theIr hose. In fact had e tire occurred in their property they would have been almost powerless to stay its ravages. The Tucson fire de- Fartment could not act then because the r1lroad and the city hose were of different sizes and no reducing couplings were at hand.
 l. is now proposed to have the rail rad hose and that of the Pioneer com pGiy of similar size. Ths railroad will
 # IS believed, allow their yard fire engine to be drawn to any part of the cly. It is in excellent working order, an will in case the arrangements are c1lpleted, De placed Tn BOlyn's corral nelr the track, instead of the round hose where # now IS. Jack Bolyn's mles are kept there at night, and a.aough during the day are on the
 Ests, they are hitchsd up and ga, be quickly drIven there. He wll supply the mules to draw the naehine to any part of the city.
 c course it would, under any cireum- stacces. be a pleasant duty for the PIo- nel Hose Company to aid, all in their povsr, in saving railroad property, and 'hE new scheme will render them dou- D 1.T -espoDsible. It will be a great bene- lt the city, and furnish the Southern Pacific company with a security they lev not heretofore possessed.
 i.e members of the Pioneer Hose 1 company will practice with the fire en- gius ss the round house to morrow after lou

IS SHE A FRAUD!
A WOMAN WELL KNOWN IN DENVER TURNS
 UP IN TUCSON, ARIZONA.

About a year ago a tall, stately woman
 rather handsome, with a beautiful little
 girl about ten years old, appeared iu Denver She hunted up Chief of Police
 Lomery and told pitiful story about
 having a brother in the Nebraska peni-
 teDtiary, who was innocent of the crime
 for which he was suffering an unjust
 penalty.
 She said that a man named French
 stole horse and sold it to her brother,
 and that it was afterward found in his
 possession. She learned that French was
 in Denver and came on here expecting
 to find him and have him arrested. She
 called herself Mrs. May Ackert and
 claimed to be a widow. Being in desti-
 tute circumstances, and a clever conver- sationalist, she succeeded in awakening an interest Tn her behalf in the minds of some of Denver's leading citizens, and she was made the recipient of a gener- Ous donation. She remained in Denver about a month, and then claimed that she had heard that French was in Santa Fe.
 The authorities furnished her a pass and letter of recommendation, sigled by Mayor Morris, Chef Lomery, Gen eral Cook. and other well known citi- zens. Nothing further was heard from her until yesterday, when General Cook received a letter from Sheriff Paul, of Tucson, Arizona, saying that Mrs. May Ackert was in Tucson telling the same story that she told n Denver, and was asking aid to enable her to go to San Francisco. On the strength of the letters of recommendation from the Denver officials she had succeeded in raising quite sum of money. Mir. Paul was anxious to find ont what kind of a woman she was. This was the req son he wrote to Denver.
 General Cook says he thinks the wo- man is cheap fraud. and uses the brother in the penitentiary racket to make a living. While Tn Denver she conducted herself as "a Slady.-Denver 
 Mrs. Ackert was in this city about two weeks ago, and told the same story as she related ID Denver. She stated that 1er brother was unjustly imprisoned md the Governor of Nebraska had promised to pardon him if she was able 0 find a certain man, supposed to be n Arizona, who could furnish the neces- Iary evidence to prove his innocense. The sister was here in search of the per ion. She represented that her brother vas an Odd Fellow, and therefore she appealed to Pima Lodge No. 3, I. O. O. !. here for financial assistance. She .sserted she was very poor. However, he was unable to furnish the proper redentials showing her claim upon the rder, and therefor the members could l ot take any official action But several rominent ones collected money for her, 1 y personal solicitation, and besides | aying her board blll at the Palace, | ave her little cash besides She left | ere for towns further west, probably | eing in Los Angeles now.
