Dropped a Thousand.
ProspMor.

Have you ever heard how Ex-iudge Barnes dropped a thousand into Tomb stone mans pocket" said an time old resi- dent of the mountain town at Benson a few days since. Well 1t Is a good one. You know he bonded the coal fields on the Camou grant and this Is the way he did 1t. The Copper Queen company were working the property; they had nc bond as they did not consider it neces- sary, but were working ten men and everything was working smoothly Camou came to Tombstone and was taken in hand by well known citizen who | impressed upon him the necessity of get ting his property bonded to some one who would push matters. Mir. Camou thought favorabiy of this idea and Barnes was thought to be the proper party tc take hold of 1t. The gentleman would gC | to Benson and see his ex-hOnor and persuade him to take the property on z bond. He went there, met the gentle man and impressed him with the favor | able outlook for making a stake, told 1 him that the Copper Queen had no bono on the property and that for $1000 il cash Camou would bond the property to him and then with the bond in hi: pocket he could dictate terms to Prof Douglass. The plan worked oharmingly the trap sprung and closed down upon a thousand dollar check, and here endee the first lesson, and now for a fortune Professor Douglass was shortly sough out by his ex-honor who without hesit ancy informed the millionaire exper that he had an option on the Sonora coa fields upon which the Queen Compan, were at work. sIndeed," was all tn satisfaction MT. Douglass offered to tn prospective Coal Oil Billy and a fev days thereafter the men were taken oi from the coal fields, the tools were sen back to Bisbee, and for once in his Tiff William H. 'took his medicine" with

 Those grumblers who insist that canal companies in arid regions make all the money, leaving none for anybody else, would do we'll to read the following.
 Little Is known, locally, regarding the irrigation syndicated project mentioned in special Washington dispatches It Is known that number of New Workers. as well as several Pacific Coast men, are in- terested in the scheme which Is to have a capital of many millions. A Southern Pacific official, well informed on such matters. says that without doubt Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is one of the origina- tors of the project, which IS nothing more or less than gigantic water company. Whether .l5 project contemplates secur- ing arid lands for irrigation or simply ar ranging for supplying water for use by others for reclamation, IS unknown, but the presumption Is that at first only water supply matters will be considered. k.x- | perience in Arizona and at some points in this State, has shown that ventures which supply land with water for irriga | ton are not as profitable. relatively, as | are real estate projects which leave the water supply for the purchaser to arrange as best he may That is, the Land Agent Mills of the Central Pacific is authority for the observation, there has not beer the demand of late for land with water owing to the higher price necessitated than for cheaper land where water fo irrigation Is to be sought fer after pur chase"

Notes by a Census Taker.
Mohaye Miner.


 Leaving Kingman on the 1st of the month so as to be on the ground in time, I commenced on the 2nd Visited the Dean mine, this is great mine, has i'm mense quantities of low grade ore and will in the near future, no doubt, add largely to the bullion production of this county. From there went to the Cum mings mine, this Is small but very rich body of ore and pays right along. After taking the names of all in that vicinity, 1 crossed over to the Willows, distance of thirty miles most of the way over 8 splendid range but no water. At the Willows l found that all the men had gone to a rodeo, but through the kindness of MT linus got all particulars relating to those could not find, from there went to Packers place on Cottonwood creek, where l found nice little orchard and vineyard. Leaving there my road led down the wash to Trout creek to Browns ranch and from there to Shipp's ranch at Kane Springs. The road from this place leads over the bench land to Gar rows place on the Sandy, from which | place the settlement Is more or less con tinuous for twenty-five or thirty miles and although there Is quite body of land in cultivation yet there is hardly any farm ing, properly speaking, as the crops grown are for home consumption, the main busi- ness being stockraising. Fruit trees and vines when properly taken care of seem to do well, a visit to MT. Cornell and Scott's places will satisfy on this point. Vege- tables are of superior quality particularly potatoes. which are incomparably super for to those brought to this place from California.
 The Sandy is by contrast with the brown barren looking mountains by which it Is bounded, beautiful place, 1t is a very isolated community being de- priyed of many advantages, having neith- CT lawyers nor doctors, saloons nor churches. and what is more strange they seem to get along very contentedly with out them The boys come up to King man once in while and some of them get on ''tare," while the ladies by oc- casional visits keep posted on the latest Kingman fashions, and by this means keep in touch with civilization. On the whole they are as healthy, intelligent. and respectable a community as have seen anywhere, they should be happy as their condition is what philosophers in all ages have asserted is the best for happiness, neither wealth nor poverty. The floods last winter destroyed some valuable land on the Sandy. If the mines at Signal should resume operations, which now seems probable the Sandy would be a great place to raise garden stuff and fruit, the difficulty now is to make the business profitable at present.

Mysterious Deaths.
Record.


 The Record is informed that last week a Yaqui Indian came into Imuris and re- ported that in the mountains east of the Imuris mines, he found the bodies of an American and a Mexican. There were five bullet holes in the body of the Ameri- can and one in the back of the head of the Mexican. But little attention was paid to the story at the time and when the authorities came to their senses a few days after, the Yaqui was gone A party was organized and went out upon what proved fruitless search except the find ing deserted mining camp, in which Joe.

/ THE APACHES OUT.
SAVES AND HIS COMPANIONS FINAL
 LY CAPTURED. Forty Tonto Apaches off the Reservation and on the War Path, most of
 them Being old Scouts

A Hoibrook special dispatch to the Republican, July 26th, says:-A tele- gram just received from the San Carlos says body of Indian scouts under the command of Lieutenant Johnson, of the Tenth Cavalry, while scouting along the San Carlos river, between San Carlos and Fort Apache this morning, ran across a band of renegade Indians. They opened fire. killing one and wounding two others
 The news was immediately sent to San Carlos and two troops of cavalry were sent in hot pursuit of the renegades.
 About noon one of the Apache Indians named Saves, for long time a member of Kids party, was captured.
 At four o'clock yesterday afternoon a second wounded Indian was captured and found three wounds
 In his possession was the gun of Sheriff Reynolds and a large amount of ammuni- ton.
 It Is not known how many Indians were discovered and full particulars are hard to obtain. A gentleman just in from Fort Apache, says the Kid Is not in command of the renegades out in this Territory He has never been out of Mexico since the Key holds murder.
 4liS dAO all Oll sue, WlbH Ou0 or two exceptions, but they. with others, are under the command of Tony, a first sergeant of scouts, who was discharged about nine weeks ago.
 The military authorities have all along | declared that no Indians are out with Kids gang of seven, but the fact is well known at San Carlos and Apache that forty Tonto Apache scouts took to the warpath nine weeks ago, immediately after their discharge from the service
 Tony was mustered out at noon and was on the warpath before night
 All others joined him inside of week
 He is very bright Indian, spent five years at Carlisle school and speaks good English, but is treacherous and blood thirsty, like all Apaches
 It is he and not the Kid who is in com mand of the renegades and the military authorities recognize that they have a hard campaign before them.

Capt. Bulls talks about Renegade In dians---No Hostile Signs Found--
 News of General Interest


 Captain J. D. Bullis Indian Agent at San Carlos, stopped over here Monday night on his return to the agency from Tucson. In conversation with the writer, Captain Bulls stated that the recent kill ing of one of the Kids band of renegade Apaches and the surrender of two others, left only seven hostiles-four men, two women and boy-off the reservation, and Ee Is confident these will soon be captured. We sincerely hope the Cap tain is correct as to the small number of the renegades, and that his confidence in their capture will not prove a delusion.
 Lieutenant P H. Clarke, with his con- mand of ten colored troops and thirty Indian scouts, was seen at Fl Dorado. He was en route to Fort Bowie. after supplies He intended to take the field again as soon as supplies were obtained. The Lieutenant told us that he had secuted the entire country to the Sonora line in the vicinity of the San Bernardino ranch, but had seen no Indian signs.
 Colonel J. $. Noble, Superintendent of this division of the Southern Pacific, was here Monday to consult with Agent Nichols in reference to the proposed new stock yards. It Is certain that the yards will be built soon, but the site has not yet been decided upon.
 The Lordsburg Liberal states that Colonel Harper, well known passenger engineer on the Southern Pacific, has left for parts unknown, and that number of. creditors mourn his departure. Harper, 1t will be remembered, always had his engine gaudily decorated.

Hill of Indian Red Paint
Florence Moral and Scientific Companion

Florence Moral and Scientific Companion
 The Pima and Papago Indians obtain in plentiful quantities superior quality of the red paint from the red gravel hills south of Florence It is the same kind used by the extinct race of Arizona, and will endure centuries of exposure without fading. The Indians mix the gravel in the water and pour the red, turbid liquid into shallow dish; then either the precip- itate is used and the liquid poured off when clear, or else the entire liquid is evapor- ated and red deposit obtained in that way. There are other sources of the various shades and qualities of the red paint used by the Indian, but the best is of mineral origin.
 Paint extracted from red gravel is used for the most part to color the native Indian pottery. It IS sometimes seen i'll grotesque streaks on the face of Mir. Lo and, his clothing is often dyed to match Oils seldom mixed with their paints.

The other day "Old Tommy" happened to be among the hens and ducks when at that instant one of the children threw over to the poultry a dry and hard loaf of rye bread The chickens pecked at 1t but without effect. "Old Tommy" stood watching their maneuvers for while, and intently looking at the loaf of rye bread.

Judge Sawyer, of the United States Court, in his decision yesterday sustain ing the practical part of Judge Kibbey's ruling, in the Chinese habeas corpus cases, whom Commissioner Hughes at Tucson had ordered back to China, gave as his reason the fact that Commissioner Hughes disposition of the case was final and would not be reviewed in higher cOurt

TWO DIFFERENT CASES.


 But before Judge Sawyer the Chinese took different position, alleging that they entered the United States from the Re public of Mexico where they resided long time before coming into the United States, and previous to that resided long time in the United States That the said Chinese coming from the Repub- lie of Mexico are entitled to be and must be remanded to the country from which they came.
 In Judge Kibbey's court their counsel admitted specifically that his clients had entered the United States in open viola ton of the exclusion act and were then present i'll defiance of our laws. Judge Kibbey held that aliens so notoriously asserting their lawlessness had no stand ing in court and could not be heard to designate the punishment that they would prefer to have inflicted for their deliberate and forbidden invasion of this country.
 LIKE SIBERIAN EXIEE,
 The position taken by Judge Kibbey was not presented to Judge Sawyer, the San Francisco lawyers evidently deem ing it sound, But the latter Judges rul- ing is fraught with far greater danger to personal security. If there is no appeal from the Commissioner, then anybody, citizen as well as alien adiudged to be a Chinaman who has unlawfully come here, can be sent to China at the Commission CTS pleasure Judge kibbey only decid- ed as to aliens confessedly here illegally. Judge Sawyer places the expulsion of every one within the Commissioners power.
 JUDGE HERRING's SAFEGUARD.
 This possibility was called to Judge Herring's attention by Herald repre- sentative, at the time of Judge Kibbey' s decision. A similar question had arisen in the former Judges experience while connected with the New York City Dis trict Attorneys office. There special tribunal had been created for the sum- mary disposition of professional pick pockets, under what was called the "Habitual Criminals Act" A policeman could hustle anyone before the court and the court could send him to Sing Sing That brilliant Judge, Noah Davis, was then on the bench He sustained the law and decided that prisoner had no ap- peal from the judgment Of this special court.
 When the possibility of abuse by hos tile police and prejudiced justice was suggested, Judge Davis remarked tha should such a case be called to the courts attention, an order would be madt requiring the lower court to reopen tht case and take additional testimony, Il order that the real facts might be ascer tained. But the upper court would no interfere by way of reviewing the lowe courts action.
 In other words the great iurist simpl reiterated the fundamental law maxim Where there's a wrong, there's reme , dy." If the logical consequence of an, particular decision might lead to injury the courts would find some means of re r dress, just as the whole, vast system 0 2 equity jurisprudence had grown up iron the inadequacy of common law tribunal to properly protect individual rights. r Thus no Arlzonan need apprehend el : patriation to Hong Kong under what 2 I first blush seems to be great and arbitrar g power lodged in the hands of U. $.

 From another source We learn that Saves was wounded, in the fight on the l7th, in three places side, leg and arm, but eluded pursuit until yesterday when discovered and captured by Indians of Antonio's band. The discovery of Say es' hiding place was reported to Col. Johnson, who quietly had all avenues of escape guarded by troops. Saves was then caught by two powerful Indians who had simulated friendship and won his confidence, and when opportunity of fered, overpowered him. Saves had a rifle (the one carried by Holmes) and plenty of ammunition. Saves was caught one-half mile east of Benton's camp.
