HELD UP.
The Bowie Stage Again Held up and R b.
 bed---All the Mail Taken.
Solomonville Bulletin.

The Fort Thomas and Bowie stage was held up and robbed again on last Friday evening near the ranch of F. A. Kreigh on the San Simon, as it was en route to Bowie. The robbers were evidently the same that robbed the stage in May last and who robbed it twice in the fall of 1888, and who have also taken in the Florence Stage several times during the past three years. The driver says they were both Mexicans, one tall man and the other short and heavy set.
 The robbers rode up to the stage from the rear. and one of them covered the driver with six shooter before he was aware of their intentions. The other rob- Der went through the stage and took every mail sack and package, even to the drivers coat. They both rode bay horses and when they left the stage went west It was reported on Sunday that two mer had been met in Stockton pass Friday evening answering the description of the robbers. These free-booters have had { successful career in the business of stage robbing in Arizona, though their boot, has been very small at all times, as bu very little cash is intrusted to the mail It is not known that they got any cash il this last robbery.

DIseontent In the Indian Territory
Press Dispatch

Thomas Knight, geological engineer of the Rock Island railway, has been forsome months past in the Indian territory, mak- ing a geological survey of the country to be traversed by the Rock Island exten- sion.
 He returned to-day and, in an inter- view, said that an alarming feeling of dis content exists among the Indians of the territory with respect to the occupation of their lands by the whites. The work of the northern Indians. who have been wrought up for some time over the pre- diction of 0 medicine man, that an Indian spirit is shortly to come among them and by his inspired leadership lead them in ar irresistible crusade against the whites, has extended to the territory. For months past there has been passing among the tribes various tokens and signs that near discontent and secret plotting.
 "There appears to me gravity in tht situation which could not be overlooked To just what extent the Indians are pre- pairing for war, if war it is to be, I do no know. I believe, however, that the vii lingness to part with their lands has beer dictated by desire to purchase the ac coutremeuts of war with the money re ceived from the sale of their reservation

A FALSE POLICY.
AsHoRT STORY OF OUR TRADE WITH
 MEXICO.
We Ship More Live Stock Into Mexico
 Than We Import.
Prospector

In conversation with Sheriff Slaugh- ter who came up from the custom house a day or two ago, he stated that the In spector of Customs, Sefor Deloza, of the City of Mexico, was at the custom house, and the sentiment that prevailed there and which he had brought from the City of Mexico was strongly opposed to the abominable policy of guarding the line against the importation of Mexican cat tie, which the tariff law practically does.
 The Mexicans maintain, said Mir. Slaughter, that they import ten dollars worth of live stock into their country from the United States for every dollars worth that the United States takes from them. This assertion would not probably be believed by the enemies of Blaine's policy of Reciprocity, who look upon the Mckinley bip as their bible, but to sub stantiate this assertion, we take some points from the reports sent to Washing ton last week by Consul Fechet, who is stationed at Piedras Negras. He says:
 "rhe importion to Mexico of American live stock on large scale may be regard ed as a new trade established in the past year. This is markedly true of tue hog importation.
 Prior to the winter of 1SS9-9O a number of experimental shipments of live hogs had been made from Kansas City to the City of Mexico by all of the three routes-El Paso, Eagle Pass and Laredo. The hogs shipped are very large and heavy and of best selected stock from Kansas City.
 Quickness of transit over so long q route Is an absolute desideratum. A special train leaves Kansas City and quickly reaches the frontier. Here the delays incident to frontier customs entries have been reduced to a minimum and the train is quickly dispatched. From Eagle Pass to the City of Mexico. by way of the Mexican International and Mexican Central Railways, is 999 miles, and is made by the special hog train in fifty hours From the large shipments of hogs by the way of Eagle Pass. Tex. (53,- 49O head in one year., it would seem that this route has been selected for quickness of transit.
 Whether Mexico will continue to take SO many hogs from the United States is a question for the future The raising of hogs in Mexico is said to be increasing, but it Is probable that the price of the corn will be the chief factor in determin ing the prodtableness of hog raising in Mexico
 "Graded horses for breeding and rac- ing, and choice-bred sheep and large Mis- souri mules are finding a ready market m Mexico, as the items-horses, STA, ,63S: mules, SlS,l00, and sheep, S74633-will show
 "Ths cattle (l0,9Ol head valued at Sl42,9O7) embrace stock for slaughter and also high-priced and graded bulls and COWS for breeding purposes"

The Model Juror Doomed.
Silver Belt.


 A bill is now awaiting the action of Con Rress which prohibits persons in the ter ritones from holding office or sitting on iuries who can neither speak, read. nor write the English language. The bill, should it become law. is rough on gram marless editors and ministers of the gos- pei, and will sadly perplex others Take, for instance a panel of twenty-four jury men; how many of that number, think you. would, according to the strict letter of the law, be accepted to well and truly try the case wherein Richard Roe is plaintiff and John Doe is defendant? The qualification of all elective and appointivt officers would be judged by the same rule the ability to speak, read and write tho English language. Therefore, "a little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring." Other wise how few would pass muster a jurors or office holders.

A New Mexico Paper on the Indian sItua
 tIOu.
Silver City Enterprise.


 That Indians are abroad in the land in considerable numbers there is no reason to doubt and owing to the heavy rainy season and abu1dant grass crops every where; it IS more than likely that their pilgrimage will be prolonged for indefinite period Already four citizens in Grant and Sierra have met death at their hands, and the end is not yet. These circum- stances we are 10th to dwell upon, but they exist and it is but right that the people that live among us should know the true state of affairs, that their actions as may seem proper and right for their own protection and that or their families. If all these Indian rumors are true, we can hardly hope for relief from their marauding raids for many months. pos sible for year or more. There is one way, and one only. in which the Indian troubles of the Southwest can be permanently settled, and that is by the removal of all Indians from San Carlos. There is little hope for this, however, as long as New Mexico and Arizona remain Terri tories. It is strange that the great gov ernment of tEe United States will permit her citizens to be murdered for years without either removing the canse, or at least making an honest effort to correct these outra6os. The few troops scattered over this count ", even under most favorable circumstances, cannot cope with the willy savage in his mountain re treat. This country should be flooded with troops immediately and vigorou: campaign inaugurated before more peo pie are killed. Isn't four enough? ol does the government want to wait unti her people have been killed by the score as in years gone by? There is no timt to waste in this matter and on behalf O the citizens the Enterprise makes | vigorous protest for more troops, and thu commander of this district will have failet in his duty to his government and it helpless people in the West if he doe not make such demand at once, and at tempt to stop these murdering maraud CTS in the beginning of what promises t to be long campaign, in which man citizens will surely be killed.

 DepIorable Shooting Aff'ray

Profound regret is felt in this commun- ity over Tuesday nights tragedy in which D. A. Reynolds was shot and killed by Alex Graydon, in the office of the latter, on Broad street. Globe. There was no eye witness to the shooting and MT. Gray don's statement is the only direct testl- mony. However, considerable evidence throwing light on the affair, was collected and presented to the coroner's jury and grand jury.
 Reynolds, who was, as rule peace able and pleasant man, was quarrelsome when in liquor. He had been imbibing freely for several days previous to the shooting. had quarreled with several per sons, but his animosity seemed to be di- rected chiefly against Graydon, and it is alleged that he said he would "fix" Gray don and made other threats of like tenor. He went into Graydon's office several times and endeavored to provoke quarrel, in which he finally succeeded, and as result was killed. Reynolds was shot four times, once in the head, twice in the body and once through the left arm. The deceased leaves a wife and three small children, for whom much sympathy is felt. Mrs. Reynolds, who is in poor health and was absent in Tucson, was telegraphed to come home, and is expected back to-day.
 The coroner's jury empaneled by Jus tice s. A. Lowe, and composed of s. 0. Heineman, A. Grogan, c. E. Finley, A. 0. Garter and w. Trevillian, after due in- quiry, rendered verdict of justifable homicide Notwithstanding the findings of the coroner's jury, the case was pre- sented to the grand jury, as was proper it should be, in order that the investiga. tion might be complete, and set at rest the question of the defendants guilt o1 innocence. After probing the matter thoroughly, nearly the whole of Friday being consumed in hearing testimony the grand jury failed to find bill against Graydon, and so reported to the court at o'clock this morning, and the accus ed was discharged from arrest.

A Lucky Editor.

The following is a synopsis of the John Bull mine, ten miles from Stein's Pass, as taken from the report of Capt. Mitchell:
 Everything is opening up very nicely in the bottom of the shaft on which we are down 100 feet. All in ore from the surface. can now give you more par ticulars about the looks of the vein. We cut across the vein at the depth of 100 feet on the west side of the shaft, and 1t is vel wa 6aro estaAIl ,fa4 Pfc feet of vein, and as all in showing of splendid lots of copper. l have also started drifting on the east end of the shaft. Every foot of ground we go through is looking better and better. I consider 1t the finest looking. body of copper 1 have ever seen in Arizona or New Mexico. l cannot work anywhere on the side without striking copper, and very fine looking copper. The bottom of the mine at 100 feet is in better looking cop per than Ihave seen since leaving the sur face and working down. Wecan take out fifty tons a day. We are now 213 feet below the vein or the top of the hill, where the crop cuts on the surface. For every 100 feet apart for a distance of 1000 feet along the lode showed bodies of copper ore.
 The mine is owned by W. H. Henry manager of the New York Star, and is without doubt big mine. The ore is said to run 15 per cent. copper and S5( Der ton in gold

New Stock Yards.
Wilcox Stockman

It is announced that the Farmers AL lance of the Southwest is about to estab- fish independent stock yards at Kansas City. The alliances in Texas, Nebraska and Iowa are back of the scheme Fifty acres of land adjoining the present stock yards is the site of the new yard. By maintaining their own yards the farmers believe they can save much money in marketing cattle, doing away with the commission men and great part of other expenses.

Reciprocity Demanded.

We are informed by representative mining and stockman of Sonora, that a call will soon be made upon all stock rais- CTS, minin and other business men, both Mexicans and Americans, to meet and de- wise some way to reach the ears of the Mexican and American authorities to hasten reciprocity treaty between the two republics. In this matter they ex- pect to receive aid and encouragement from all business men on the border in the United States, believing that if the present existing state of affairs remain for any considerable length of time, the busi- ness interests of both countries. at least along the border, will be paralyzed.

Don't Waste Your Postage Stamps.
Springfield Republican.

Why do you Americans put , cents on a letter to Mexico when are enough?" asks a business man writing from the city of Mexico "Is cash so abundant in Northern homes that you can so waste it? Pray tell your people that only a phule' will put any more postage on a Mexican letter or paper than on one destined for the United States-else why the postal treaty? One-half my correspon- dents thus foolishly contribute to Uncle Sam's exchequer."
 This advice is well-timed Most people know that letters to Canada need bear but ? cents postage for each ounce or fraction thereof, but it is less generally known that the same rate applies to let 1 ters sent to Mexico which is too ofter regarded as foreign country"

The people all over the country are begging for more money to carry on their business affairs. This silver, were 1t purchased for silver certificates, would relieve the momentary stringency to that extent, take the little surplus off the market and raise the price of silver to a par with gold. MT. Windom has this power. How does he exercise it? Let us see It is his GUS tom to purchase silver on Mondays, We'd nesdays and Fridays of each week. He purchases usually upon these days 375,- 900 ounces, and this repeated for twelve times in the month gives him tho four and half millions ounces It IS bought, we will say, at 1929. Now the govern ment makes a profit in coining this of the difference between 1929 per ounce and 1929 per ounce. Yet, on October Ist while the whole 375.O0O ounces were offered to the government at from 1l315 to IA, this great Secretary purchased on- ly 250000 ounces, stopping at 1895, and refusing the other 125,OO0 ounces at IA. Behold a asecretary indeed, whose financial ideas are so fine that he can draw the line at 5-100 of cent an ounce, and yet he can sit still and see lot of conspirators depress the price of silver from $1.2l to $l10 per ounce and never wink! To see the interests of the silver miners. of the wheat and cotton growers, sacrificed to the tune of millions, never disturbs his equanimity in the least Verify the pres ent silver bill, as administered, is fraud. It is clear that the great mining, cotton and agricultural interests of the country are to be sacrificed until free coinage bill for silver Is passed, and then the peo- pie can take care of themselves.
 l Think of it! Here are lot of Shylocks in New York striking hands with another lot in London to destroy the value of silver. They refuse openly to loan mon l ey on silver bullion and tell you to your face that they do not consider 1t security for money. Think you the people of the west and the south will stand this sort of thing? Most certainly notl They will hurl from power the men who make or administer laws so that such conspirators can flourish. The names of these trust companies, bankers and brokers who are engaged in this conspiracy should be printed under the head of traitors in every newspaper in the land.

Pearl buttons are among the few ar ticles which are to be actually advanced in price by the tariff. Careful figuring based on iobbers price lists shows that this advance will add to the cost of living just six -tenths of cent a year on the average for each person in the country. It is no wonder that the free traders are paving the air and cursing the "robber tariff."-Globe Democrat.

OVER THE BANiSTERS.

sOyer the banister leans a fare,
Tender ana iull of meaning"
see her still. with a dainty grace,
Over her banjo leaning,
While by her side | watch her hand
Over the soft notes straying,
Weaving her face. as ! idly stand,
Into the tune she is playing.
The light burns dim in the great square room,
Nobody else is listening;
But through the dusk of the twilight gloom,
Somebody eyes are glist,ning.
Broken strains of song are blown
Over her half-turned shoulder,
"Holds her fingers and draws her down,
Suddenly growing bolder."
The rest is lost In a soft low note;
What does it mean, l wonder?
But'up from tho banjo seems to float
The song OF the sweet lips plumber
The question asked, and the swift caress
And the Eyes" that comes from thelanding.
What is it, ! wonder, that makes me guess
She looks up Mt me where / am standing?
What does she mean by tho soft low tune
And the words she is family humming?
Why does she start again 30 soon
The banjo's empty stunning?
Sitting there singing an idle rhyme,
With the soft light DER her steaming,
Is she only trying TO pass the time
And am l but q fool for my dreaming?

Bridging the Bosporus.

Encouraged, no doubt, by the sue.
cess of the bridge across the Forth,
engineers are now considering the
equally great scheme of a bridge
across the Bosporus, thus connecting
Europe and Asia and their present
and future railway systems. The
Turkish newspaper Hakikat gives
Some particulars OF this project
apropos of an offer by a French syn
dictate to build a bridge ofSOO meters
in length and 70 meters high between
Roumeli and Anatoli Hissar. The
striking feature of the bridge would
be that it would consist of one span,
and thus, although of much shorter
length than the Forth bridge, it is
described as a greater work. because
its single span exceeds in length by
one-half the longest span of the
Forth bridge. The Anatolian rail-
way, it is thought, will make the con-
struction of such bridge a necessary
and feasible undertaking before many
years.-St. James Gazette.
