1t is said that the wave motor which has
been in course of construction on the
eoast near San Francisco is success.
The power of the waves is utilized by a
huge fan or paddle hanging in gorge so
as to be swung back and forth by the
waves. The motion is communicated to
the plunger of pump for raising water
into reservoir.

In the Engineering and Mining Journal, of May 5th, IS given a de- tailed ,atement of the cost of work ing the Spanish gold mlne, in Nevada county, Cal, which is remarkable for showing how cheaply, under favora- ble conditions, gold ore can be worked. The deposit (3O te 100 feet Tn width, on the face of steep mountain) is soft slate scanned with stringers of quartz. There is little gold in the slate, some Tn the quartz, and consld- erable in loose, free state in the clay partingS between the quartz and slate.
 Mining IS mostly done in open cuts. The ore is conveyed to the mill by a train of ten cars, through a tunnel having grade of 2 inches in Is feet. The tram coming out requires no pro- polling power and is controlled by brake on the last car. Four Hunting ton mills crush from 12O to 40 tons per day, depending upon the propor- tjen of quartz in the ore. The aver age value of bullion per ton for six months was 80 6-1O cents, the highest S1.16 and the lowest 65c. The aver age cost of mining was 34 Aloe. per ton, highest 573c. and lowest 31 Aloe. The average cost of milling was g 1-10c. per ton, highest 23 9-1Oc and lowest 20 8-10c. Even at these rates the margin of gain is small. The profit for Al days run was S3,745.O2.

The robbery of the south bound
 passenger train on the Sonora railroad,
 at Agua Zarca, twelve miles from the
 Arizona line, on the night of May
 11th, was most desperate deed, con ceived and executed by devils incar-
 nate. As the train slowed up at the station the robbers, six Mexicans, with
 out the slightest warming, fired vol ley into the cab of the engine, instant ly killing the fireman, Forbes. The engineer escaped by jumping through the cab window and secreting himself under the engine. The robbers then fired into the express car, wounding Ike Hay, the messenger, probably fla tally. Conductor Louis Atkinson was shot as he stepped from the baggage car, and w. fl. French, a passenger, formerly conductor on the road, re- ceived ball through the body, and it Is believed can not survive.
 Three of the robbers then held the and two custom guards in check, while the other robbers carried of the express box, after an intellectual attempt to open it in the car. Eight Mexican customs l1ne guards arrived on the scene a few minutes later and started in pursuit of the robbers. The tram was run back to Nogales, a posse formed and taken to the scene of the robbery, where they took the trail. Conductor Atkinson died soon after reaching Nogales, and Hay and French were not expected to survive.
 The express box was found a short distance from the track, rifed of its contents, S130 in Mexican money and some papers, which is all the valuables he robbers secured. Very little mon- " is carried over the Sonora road, and t is supposed that the robbers expect ed to find the pay car, which had passed over the road to Guaymas the lay before, attached to the train. Sev- sral posses are in pursuit and hope is entertained that the robbers will be :aptured.

THE INDIAN MURDERERs OF GRACE AND
 DEIHL DISCOVERED.

A Tucson dispatch of May 11th, to the S. r. Chronicle says: Last June Johnny Deihl and Mike Grace were killed by a band of fifteen lndiauS who hadleftthe San Carlos reservation after shooting Chief Scout Al Sleber. They all returned to the reservation. The Indian scouts were tried by military court and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment for mutiny. Every eff fort was made to have some ot the others turn States evidence as to which of the Indians killed Deihl and Grace, but ansuccessfully. During the last two days the Indians not tried by the military court have been before United States Commissioner Hughes, undergoing preliminary hearing. Two of them gave away the names of the Indians who did the killing in both cases. Three scouts, with another Tn- diaa, killed Deihl, and four scouts, with another Indian, killed Grace. As these murderers are now fully iden- tifed they will be indicted and no doubt hanged, and would have been months ago could the evidence now at hand have been discovered.

The decision of the late Commis- sioner of Land Office Sparks, with holding from entry as desert land all land upon which there is a growth of mesquite, has been reversed by Secre- tary of the Interior Villas. Sparks held that Hands containing sufficient m oisture to produce a natural growth of trees of this character are not to be chased as desert lands" It has been satisfactorily shown to Secretary Vi las, however, that mesquite is as com nor a growth on derert lands as is sage brush, grease brush, or cactus, and is rather a proof of the desert character of the land, and therefore, he decides that such land shall be sub ject to entry under the desert land act. This decision will be appreciated n Arizona, and give an impetus to the entry of desert lands in this Territory.

CAN THEY BE DOWNED?

One ot the most lnlqultouS combina-
 tions to control trade Tn this country
 far reaching in Its effects-is the
 dressed beef syndicate, composed of
 Swift. Hammond, Morris and Armour,
 of Chicago, known as the Big Four. :"
 By means of almost unlimited capital
 and a gradually perfected system of
 operations, they have been enabled to
 revolutionize the beef trade of half the
 United States, have almost destroyed
 local butchering business, and lad
 tribute the entire range country, changing cattle raising on the plains,
 in a few years, from one of the most
 profitable of all industries to hazard
 ous and unproductive business. The great cattle markets of Chicago. Kan sas City, St. Louis and other cities, are completely under their control, and the shipper of range cattle must accept whatever price the Big Four see fit to give. Buying at their own price, the combination have been able to place dressed beef on the market in nearly all the cities of the East at a figure rulnous to the local butchers. compelling the latter to give up Slaughtering, and to purchase from them. Up to the present time all at tempts to weaken the strength of the dressed beef men have proved futile, and they remaln masters of the sIt- nation.
 The Butchers National Protective Association, which was organized to oppose the inroads of the dressed beef clique, has thus far accomplished nothing, but at their coming conven- tion, to be held in Philadelphia next week, measures will be adopted and set on foot which, it is hoped, will extri- cate them from the grasp of thelr vo- racious enemy. It is proposed to pre- sent to the legislatures of the different States, and urge its adoption, a local :. live stock inspection bill to govern every city throughout the country having population of 50,OOO or more. | This bill prohibits the sale of cattle for food, which have not been killed l subject to the inspection of the munic- ipal sanitary authorities within whose jurisdiction the meat is to be cut and . retailed. The bill has been submit ted, recently, to the legislatures of Ohio, Missouri, Iowa and other States and the influence of the National AssocIahon will be exerted to secure its passage. The association represents over 500,000 retail butch CTS, and has a financial backing of S80 0,000,000. Two hundred millions of dollars and over are invested in the dressed beef business, and the general legislative enactment of the inspec- tion bill signifies nothing more nor less than the ruination of the Big Four and their less conspicuous ccn-

The vote upon the resolution to ln- dorse Governor Zulick's Territorial administration was so decidedly lop- sided as to tally 63 against, to John ny Behan) in favor of its adoption. Language fails for words to depict its effect. The result was a confession that ZulIck and his followers were not recognized as being within the Demo- cratic ring, and when the curtain was rung down on that memorable occa- sion the Governors party had seem- ingly taken death grip on despair. Heney's bombshell did the business ; caused ''LIttle Steve" and Sam Purdy to seek sanctuary among the oppo- nents of L. c. Hughes, the author of Zulick's misery.

THE FUNEREAL MONTH OF
 MARCH.

An observant metropolitan barber
 says that he can tell one's physical con. | dltion by the state of the hair
 The lSbe tells us that with his hail gone Samson lost his strength. The Romans considered badness a serious
 afiiction and Julius Caesar was never quite satisfied with himself because his
 poll was bare.
 The face, however, is the open book and one can readily trace in it's various expressions, lines, changes and com. plexion the state of the system.
 The exc that is unusually bright and yet has a pallid brightness, the face upon whose cheeks nature paints a rose o-s:ngular beauty and flush, more marked in contrast with the alabaster appearance of the foTehead and nose and lower part of the face, is one of those whom the skilled physician will tell you will some day dread the funereal month of March, because 1t is then that consumption reaps its richest harvest. Consumption they tell us is caused by this, that and the other thing, by microbes in the air, by micro organisms in the blood, by def. cient nutrition, by thousand and one things, but whatever the cause, decay begins with a cough and the remedy that will effectually stop the cause oi that cough cures the disease of the lungs.
 That is all there is of it.
 The cough is an evidence of wasting. To stop it effectually, a remedy must be used that will search out the cause, re- move that and then heal the lung and do away with the cough. This is the power, special to itself, possessed alone by Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con- sumption remedy. This is no tewfangled notion of narcotics and poisons, but an old-fashioned preparation of balsams, roots and herbs, such as was used by our atcestors many years ago, the for mula of which has been secured ex- clusiyely by the present manufacturers at great trouble and expense. It is not a mere cold-dryer. It is a system-searcher and upbuilder and consumption ex- pellant, Where others fail, it wins, be- cause it gets at the constitutional cause and removes it from the system.
 J. w. Hensaw of Greensboro, Pa, on January 15, 1888, reported that "he had derived more real benefit for the length ot time, from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Consumption remedy than he had for years from the best State physicians" Ii you have a cough, night sweats, positive assurance in your own mind that you, oh-you, have no consump- tion," and vet lose flesh, appetite, courage, as your lungs waste away, you may know that soon the funereal month of March will claim you, unless promptly and faithfullyyou use the article named. If other remedies have failed try this one thoroughly. Ii others are offt red, insist the more on trying this unequaled pre- paratiOn.
 Some persons are prone to consump- ton and they should never allow the disease to become seated.
