An Examiner sp ecial from Fl Paso, Texas, says A letter received here yesterday from Major Mills, now at Washington, says in an ln- terview with Major Powell, Chief of the Geodetic Survey, upon the sub ject of storage reservoirs in the arid regions ofthe West. Major Powell speaks f;lvorably of the recently conceived plan of erecting an im- mense dam in the Bio .Grandc river near this city. He thinks such a reservoir will control the a nnual flood below it, and that a portion of the $100,0O0 appropriated by Congress for experimental ivesti- gation in matter will be expended at Fl Paso. Why cannot our Dele gate to Congress retain some ofthis money for Arizona?

A Tombstone dispatch says wcrl has been received of the escape, from guards. of Fredericc, the mur- derer of Cesafio Lueero, and sup posed to be one of the Sonora train robbers. Failing to obtain con fcssion from l.in, tliey ordered him to prepare for exceutieiT. He was placed bunnd and blind-folded ever trench, and though at this time he had at knowletiged the killing of Lucero, he refused confession as to the train robbery. Thinking fur ther to friglten him a volley was ordered to be fired over his head. When the smoke cleared away 1t was found that lie had burst his bonds, and though d dozen shots were fired and pursuit instituted, he made good his escape.

Cid But Good.

The following yarns of how tie notorious Doe Smart played the boys in Fl Paso once upon a time is taken from the Fl Paso Tribune ::
 Doe Smart, a noted Western bandit, with two conledcrates, bought up all the playing cards in El Paso, at Goldberg's stationery store, paying for them $75, and when questioned what Il e. intended do ing with them, said they were go- ing up in the mines and expected to do great business, but if they failed would like the privilege of returning what they did not use. Goldberg consented, and in few days about half of them were re- turned, This same Goldberg was in the habit of furnishing all the faro banks in town with cards, and upon receiving orders for them, and having none on hand excepting those returned by Smart, he divided the lot between the different banks, and on the same night every bank, in Fl Paso was busted by Smart  and a few of his confederates.
 The last bank broke examined their cards and found every card had been "pinchcd." An investi- gation at each bank showed their cards ''pinelcd" in the same man ncr. It was found cut next day that Smart and his gang "pinched" them. The town was too hot for him several days after. It was es- timated that the winnings on that night were about $125, ,000,

Preston H. Leslie, Governor of Montana, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, csti- mates the population of the Terri tory at 10000, an increase of 10,- 900 over the estimate of last year. All the industries If the Territory have been highly active and pros porous during the year. Agricul- ture has made rapid strides for ward. It can be stated in truth that the average yield per acre of wheat, oats, potatoes and cultivated grass in Montana for 1887 was not equal ed by that of any other Territory or State. The commercial operations of the Territory during the year az gregated $49,000,000. The assessed value of taxible property in the Territory is $69,O00.0O0. Upon the subject of education, the report says each of the cities and large towns has the very best and high est class of graded schools. Every child of school age in the Territory is on the school roll and at school nine months of the year. The mines have been more productive than ever before.

Three hundred miles an hour is the proposed speed for the electric postal railroad oi the future. An experimental line has been erected at Laurel, twenty miles from Balti more. A compromise between the pneumatic tube and the ordinary railroad carries a miniature train of two ears, solely for mails and light parcels, without any atten- dance. The road has three rails. one above tie car for carrying tie the current, and two below, which carry the cars. The cars are built of sheet iron and are two feet wide and twenty-one feet long. Speed will be regulated and power or brakes applied by electricity solely.

ArIz0aa's Progress.

!
 The annual report of Governor Zulick of Arizona shows tllat there has been during the past year q steady progress in the growth and development of the Territory. The population has largely increased and many new avenues of industry have been opened and profitably pursued. Indian depredations are
 are thing of the past, life and property are now safe, and law and order are supreme.
 During the year 295.841 acres of public land were entered by settlers, 200 miles of canal for irrigating purposes were construcied, and 100 miles additional are begun and will be completed during the present year. In this connection Governor Zulick lays much stress upon the act of Congress providing for survey and location for desert land reservoirs, and suggests the importance of an accurate hydro graphic survey of the Territory to demonstrate the feasibility of arte- sian wells.
 The yield of gold and silver last year was $5.771 ,555, winch is good showing for a Territory whtr mining is carried on under so many disadvantageous conditions as 1t is in many places. Mining in Arizona means hard work and much pa tience, and the output mentione q speaks well for the perseverance of the miners.

are great possibilities for Arizona, and we think her future is more intimately connected with the subject of irrigation than with any other one thing.

A horse with good appetite al all times Is generally able to stand lots of hard work, and is seldom sick. To be a good feeder is quite a recommendation in the opinions of good judges of horses. Aside from the fact that necessary strength is derived from eating heartily, the fact that horse has good appe- tite indicates that his digestive or gans are in good order, and that he has good, strong constitution. X poor appetite generally suggests some weakness.

No Herd Law.

Judge O'Ncills organ continues to publish untruths about herd law, when its lawyers, we are told, have told it there is no herd law, but 9 strict fence law in these north ern counties.
 If the organ did not intend to deceive the voters of this county, It would also have published the note at the foot of the chapter and immediately following, paragraph 3226; the note is as follows:
 NoTE.-The foregoing chapter is compiled and taken from the com piled laws, chapter LV', p. 538. There was no legislation upon the subject by the Fourteenth legisla- ture (1887), and the chapter re- nained unchanged.
 Such is now the law in some of the counties south of us, in the Salt river valley, a part of Pinal, Pima and Gaaham counties, but it is hot the law now in force in Ya- vapai or Apache counties; those have afence law which can be found on page IS, laws of 1881, Act Number 19.-Cou,ier.

 1 feature of Commissioner
 stockslager's report which will be eonmended by the people of the land States in which public sur Seys are incomplete, is the recon nlendation for increased appro- priations for surveying public lands, and his remarks in this con- nection tending to prove that good work can not be done for the prices -$7 to So per mile-now allowed for surveying.
 The act of March 3, 1887, di- rects that railroad grants shall be adjusted without delay, and much fault has been found with the land office for an apparent lack of ener- gy in this direction. It seems that Congress, in its wisdom CT lack thereof, or through the carelessness of men having the matter in charge. does not know that it is utterly impossible to adjust the largest grants, for the reason that millions of acres of lands lying  within the granted and indemnity limits are unsurveyed, and no ap- propriation has been made to meet the expense of the surveys abso-I lutely indispensable in the adjust ment of the grants. By reason of the failure to survey tie lanlS in these grants the companies are per- mitted to hold the lands, without taxation, and reap the benefits of the increase in value, while the peo- pie along the lines are compelled to carry the entire burden of the local goretafinehts.

cally defeating the objects for which the grants were made. It is to be hoped that the very sensible suggestions of tho Commissioner on tie subject of surveys will be seconded by the Secretary of the Interior and acted uprn by Con gress at the next session.
 The adjournment of Congress ol Saturday without having pissed either the general land bill or the bill forfeijing railroad grants fulfl!s the predictions made in the first of this series of fletters, to which refer ence has been made since. It is to be hoped that the next session of Congress will be more produc- tive of results in this respect. The presidential election will then have become thing ot the past, and legislation for the good of the country without regard to effect upon politics organizations or tie prospects of candidates for office, may be enacted.
 The suggestion of the Commis- sioner that the force of his office should be increased should he sec onded heartily by all persons in terested in land matters. The fact that 23S, ,156 final entries of various classes are pending before the land office, and that withits present force the office can dispose of only about 75,O00 cases per annum, is sufficient argument to prove the need of in creased force and a strong effort should be made by the people of the land States and Territories to impress upon the minds of their re- presentatiyes ill Congress the i'm portance of their interests, and ne cessity for more prompt adjudica- ton of land cases.

TI.e robelaliop of Arizona has iargele snc1eassd. Indian depre- dations, says the Governor, are a thing of the past; life and proper ty are safe, and law and order su- prcme. During the year 295,Sl1 acres of public land were entered nt the two land offices by settlers, and POO miles of irrigation canals constructed, and 100 additional miles to be constructed during the present year. He dwclls at length on the importance of the hydro grap aphic survey of the Territory to demonstrate the feasibility of arte- sian wells and reservoirs for water storage. The yield of gold and sil7er last year Is estimated at $5,- 7S0,500. The Governor renews his former recommendation for ncces- sary appropriations for the survey of the public lands in Arizona, and urges the early settlement of pri- vato land grants, but unites with Delegate Smith in opposing the proposition before Congress to transfer these claims to a special court created for that purpose.
