The Apache Killing.

News of the killing of Bridger and Robinson was longingly looked for all day yesterday, but nothing could be learned further than the account published in the Prospec- tor of Saturday. Last night how ever B. F. Brown of the Erie Cattle Co.,, and Dr. Chandler, came in from Mud Springs and gave few additional items of interest.
 The man who escaped was named Hickey, Tot Mackey and his report of the fight as brought to town was a correct one.
 Hickey states after they had been fired on the first time, he called to the other two boys to run, but Rob- inson said "No boys, let us stay be- hind these rocks til dark and make a fight, and then we can get away without any trouble" Robinson had evidently been used to Indian tricks and was cool as a cucumber, as he planned the details.
 Immediately upon receiving the news at Mud Springs. Stub Shat tuck and six others left for the scene of the killing They went by way of San Bernardino ranch in order to get more arms and ammunition and a spring wagon with which to bring in the bodies They told Messrs. Brown and Chandler that they would bring the bodies direct to Tombstone, but as they would have to pack the corpses four miles to wagon, they did not arrive here as soon as expected.
 James Price left Tombstone also with a wagon and two collins in which to place the bodies. No mo- tice of the telegram to Fort Haul chuca has been taken as far as heard of.
 LATER-The two dead men were brought in at half past three this afternoon and were taken to the morgue where an immense throng of citizens gathered to look at them and their effects. A coroner's in quest is being held as we go to press, full report of which will appear in tomorrow Prospector.
 The bodies of the two men had been robbed of everything with the exception of that of Robinson who had a letter which had been received from his mother few days previ- ous. Their shirts had been pulled up
  over their heads and their drawers down over their feet. Both men had been killed by shots through thehead The bodies are in very good state of preservation.
 Fresh Indian signs were seen in the vicinity by the party which brought the bodies in and they are of the opinion that the band is still there. Up to the hour of going to press no movement on the part of the troops had been made.-Prospec- tor.

New Wealth from Irrigation.

The subject of irrigation is called up afresh by reports received by the Agricultural Department at Wash ington. Some of these refer to in- vestigations concerning under ground rivers. Professor Hilgard is quoted as saying that "the under flow of great gravel beds existing in the southern part of California is proving to be of increasing i'm portance as a source of irrigation supply. It Is possible to maintain and increase the supply of water far beyond it's present magnitude, All that is necessary is to under stand the controlling principle of it's action.
 "These gravel beds sare natural storage reservoirs. They may be emptied and replenished with due regard to the rainfall and drainage" Accounts are also published con corning operations which, accord ing to the reports, it is believed will result in the reclamation of the entire Antelope Valley and even of the Mojave Desert" It has been demonstrated that water is alone needed in what are called desert parts of this State to make the arid lands "blossom as the rose" Even lands whitened by alkali and thick ly impregnated with it have not proved intractable
 The experiments of Dr. Sketch ley, ostrich grower, may be recalled. He found a flowing well, led the water upon the adjacent soil, and having drawn much alkali to the surface, turned the water off. This process beng several times repeat ed, the surface soil was found to be cleansed and thrifty, and abundant crops were grown on a seemingly unpromising desert.
 Irrigation on a great scale will ultimately be a powerful agency in filling up the dryer portions of Southern California and adjacent territory with an industrious popu- lation. The lands now useless should cost the future owners only the actual expense of providing the water necessary to make them fer tile. The climatic conditions and ascertained capabilities of the soil are such as to insure individual suc- cess to many thousands of indus trious farmers. A variety of crops, other than the choice fruits for which that region is especially adapted, may be grown successfully in this new Egypt of the Western World.-San Francisco Bulletin.

A NEW York dispatch says that Surrogate Ransome granted an or der on the 17th inst, permitting Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont to with draw the will of Gen. John c. Ere mont from the court files. She is now at Los Angeles, Cal, where she desires to probate the will. The will was executed by Gen. Fremont August 19, 1854, and filed with the Surrogate two days later. No pro- ceedings have been taken in New York to probate the will, as the tes- tator had no property or debts in that State.

THE Tombstone Epitaph has pass ed in its checks. It was published by two most excellent craftsmen George Meek and Joe Madero-who say they have had enough of writ ing and working for McKinleyism and all other Radicalisms., They did their own work, were economi- cal, etc., and yet failed to make anything, a fact which goes to prove how hard it is to run a daily paper in a small town.-Prescott Courier,
 The Courier is right. It is a diff ficult matter to publish daily pa per in small town; but it is still more difficult to publish two daily papers in a weekly newspaper town.
