How the ienegades Were Captured.


 Deputy Sheriff Charles Winston, re- turned yesterday morning from That cher, a small Mormon town just be- low Solomonville, Graham county. From him the Star learns the follow ing particulars of the late Indian cam paign: The soldiers under the com mand of Lieuts. Jim Watson and Pow haitian Clarke, after a 300 miles chase, and being without rations for five days, save the game of the country, such as jack rabbits and deer, came upon the Ecstiles in a cave. Both of ficers leaped to the front with the in- tent of gaining the entrance of the cave. Lieut.. Clarke encountered one of the hostiles at the mouth of the cave and shot him twice through the body. 'Rowdy" the Indian scout, shot the Indian, breaking both arms, thus saving the life of "Tucson's own" Lieut. Clarke This brave young of ficer received a shot through his hat and also one between his legs.-Tuc, son Star.

Land Courts.

The strenuous efforts now being made to establish Court of Land Claims originates with the Reavis land thieves and is largely pushed by them, though they have induced New Mexico, Colorado and some of the peo- pie of Arizona to side with them. To some of these people Court of Land Claims would possibly be of value, but the prime object of the thing-the origin of it, the intention of it, was to assist the Reavis thieves to rob the people of Central Arizona under the guise of law. That stupendous at tempt at robbery involves more land, of greater value per acre, than all the other pretended or real land grants within the Territories and States pro- posed to be covered by the operations of the land court. Two years ago the attempt to pass such bill through Congress entirely ceased the moment Arizona was excluded from it's opera tions showing conclusively that the special plth and point of the whole business is the false and bringandish proposition to make the people of Central Arizona "stand and deliver" They have more at stake; and they occupy one of the richest most valua- ble sections of the country in the United States: they have made greater and better and more extensive improvements than any other like region of country in any and all of the region proposed to be covered by the Land Court bill; they are the richest plucking and all that is want ed by these highway robbers is legal chance to cloud the titles of the prop erty of our people that they may be compelled to buy the robbers off; it simply involves a proposition of legal brigandage. The Government, if it did it's duty toward the settlers, would protect them; but it looks as though there is no protection when such a combination is at work as is now try ing to rob the people of Central Ari- zona by the instrumentality of Court | of Land Claims. Central Arizona has no objection whatever to New Mex ico or Colorado or any other section of country having all the courts of the kind they want. but this section of the country on the other side does not want to be imposed upon by this in- strumentality as she is certain to be in fact her fair prospects will be ruined by a Court of Land Claims.-Phenix | Herald.

Irrigation by Means of Artesian Wells.

It is now only trlae over two years since the first flow of artesian water was struck in the San Luis valley, MT. $. Hoine making the discovery in the month of December, 1887. But the coming farming season will record great innovation in the San Luis val ley. This is nothing more nor less than artesian irrigation, which is now an assured fact. Last summer water from artesian wells was used for irri- gation, in one or two instances, on small tracts of land, and then only for gardens. During the past six months many farmers have put down wells for the purpose of obtaining a water sup ply sufficient to irrigate from 50 to 200 acres.
 At several points recently under ground flows have been tapped that had sufficient force to throw column of water from ten to eighteen inches above the top of s casing three inches in diameter. It is estimated that one such we'll that will throw a column of water a foot above the casing will ir- rigate thirty acres. Not few farmers have put down borings six inches in diameter for an irrigation supply. These large diameter wells vary in depth from 800 to 700 feet, and are said to furnish enough water to irri- gate twenty-five to eighty or even 100 acres. Some of the strongest three inch wells are down less than 200 ! feet.
 The depth varies for a good flow even in the same locality. In every instance, however, where a boring has been made in the central portion of the valley good supply of water has been obtained, and the wells are never failing. Interesting data will be obtained from the results of artes- ian irrigation in the San Luis valley Nowhere in the United States are there as many strong flows in the same area, and nowhere is irrigation by the means carried on so extensive ly as will be the case in the sunny Sar Luis this year. We have been con vinced all along that great deal O good could be gotton out of artesiar flows as applied to practical irrigation especially if storage reservoirs were tt be called into use. It is not so muci a question of securing the water al saving it when once it is secured.- Exchange.

The San Juan Trouble.

Major c. E. Vandever has just re- turned to his agency at Fort Defiance, Arizona, from a trip to that portion of the Navajo reservation lying along the the San Juan river, where he made a thorough investigation of the recent Indian troubles in that locality. Dur ing his visit there he called a council which was attended by all the head men and almost all influential Indians residing in that region. From the In dians who were present and witnessed the killing of John Cox, the following particulars were learned:
 Thez-chilla, a Navajo of Castina's band, with two male companions, three squaws and boy, started Dec. 25th, on a deer hunt in San Juan county. They killed four deer, which they had packed on their ponies on the morning of the 26th, and were prepar- ing to start for home, when John Cox and three companions rode up to their camp, and after staying around a short time went their way. A short time after their departure Thez-chilla missed a blanket, and his party started after the Cox crowd to recover it. Upon overtaking them a war of words en- sued. The pony of one of the Navajos fell, and in doing so discharged rife accidentally which was hung to the saddle. Upon this the Indians claim that Cox and his party opened fire on them, shooting Thez-chilla in the breast, killing him almost instantly. His companions fled, not firing shot and escaped unhurt. When they re- turned to their homes the news of the killing soon spread. but there was no undue excitement, nor were there threats of an outbreak made at any time.
 The Indians sent word to Agent Vandever, asking him to go up and confer with them. and at the same time stated that they were perfectly willing to abide by his decision in the matter. They repudiate as false hood the statement made that they offered to remain in peace and let the matter drop if paid $2O0, or any other sum, but declare that such an offer was made to them by white men who have good reason to interest themselves in the matter. The Navajos insist that they want no trouble with theil white neighbors but they insist that the killing of Thez-chilla receive the attention which it deserves; that Cox should be indicted for the killing that he should have fair and i'm partial trial, and if guilty that ht should be punished as the law pre- scribes, but if, on the other hand, ht is innocent, he should be acquitted.
 No further trouble over this matter is anticipated Agent Vandever. H. has his Indians thoroughly under con trol, and never makes a request O them which is not cheerfully- granted In addition to this the Navaios art accommodating stock and property, 0 which they have learned to appreciate the value, and will take no foolisl chance of losing it by becoming in volved with their white neighbors.- Albuquerque Citizen.

4 Careful Man.

Judge Bollingsworth is unfortunate. The other night, after hard days work, be did not go home until the family had eaten sup per.
 ''I won't put you to any trouble to get me anything to eat" he said to his wife. ''rll go out and get lunch"
 "You'll find everything in the safe. Don't leave anything on the table, for the mice are awful bad"
 When the judge returned to the sitting room his wife asked:
 "Did you put everything away
 t'Yes"
 "Did you shut the safe doorf"
 'Yes."
 "Did you shut it tightf'
 "Yes."
 ''What did you do with the lampF'
 "What lamp?" "The lamp you took with you"
 ''Didn't I bring it backf'
 s'No"
 sBlew it out then, guess"
 When the fire bells rang a bright blaze lighted up a certain part of the town. When the engines arrived the judge was seen walk ing about in an excusable scarcity of dress. He had shut the lamp up in the safe.-Arkan- saw Traveller.

I he Delinquent Tax.

The arguments before the court on the delinquent tax lists disclosed the fact that there are glaring inconsistent cies, and flat contradictions in tie revenue law of Arizona, which should be rectified by the next legislature. It would be difficult under our present law to make delinquent list under which tax sale would give to the purchaser title which would stan d the test of Q close legal scrutiny. Some of the errors which were shown in the present cases could hardly have been avoided even by lawyer, unless he had made very careful study of our complex and conflicting revenue law
 The gist of the decision of the court in this case simply means that the notice and publication are not suffi- cient, under the law, to bring the prop erty against which the taxes are due, before the court for judgment, and that a new publication will be neces- sary for that purpose. It does not appear that the validity of the assess ment or the tax levy is defective in any particular. The principal point gained by the obJectors is that they will have an extension of time in which to pay their taxes, but the county will not suffer, as the delin- quents will be required to pay one and one-half per cent, from January 1st until paid. The district attornt y and special counsel should see to 1t that the publication is made iron clad this timeyand the results which will flow from the decision will then be beneficial in the end, in that it will make certain what was before uncer- tain. Few taxes would remain unpaid could tax title be relied upon.-Star.

Pressure on the Walnut Grove Dam.
Financial and Mining Record.

ElnauCldl anu IeCOTu
 The dam was 110 feet high, and the lake it held back was the largest body of water in Arizona, covering a sur face of 750 acres and impounding 4,OOO, 100000 gallons. The pressure upon the dam when the artificial lake bed was full of water was tremendous. The horizontal pressure or direct push on a section of the dam one foot wide and extt nding from top to bottom at the middle of the structure was about 19O tons, or an average of about + tons per square foot. Near the base the pressure was, of course, much greater, the ovcrturning force of the water about tho bottom of this part of the wall having been about 1000 tons. It will be seen that the crush ing force against the planking was very great, and unless it fitted snugly against the granite, It would have broken, and very small break would have permitted the escape of a very large amount of water. A crack near the bottom of the dam measuring on ly one quarter of an inch by twelve inches, would have allowed flow of 1860 gallons per minute or All, 600 gallons in an hour. Of course tie gradual escape of the water at this rate would not be the worst conse- quence of such break, for the flew would tend to weaken and undermine the dam, though built of stone.
