A Clever Capture.
Nogales Herald.

At an early hour Thursday morning Inspector Jensen effected a clever cap ture of six contraband Chinese in Sonoi- ta canon, He got on their trail Wednes- day and after perilous all night scram- ble through the canon came up to Chi nese Lewie's house near Sanford about daylight. Here he found three and took them in. Subsequently ha came upon three more CT te9s, making their way in the direction of Lewies rendezvous.
 The party endeayored to bribe the off cer into letting them go, first offering him $20 and then ss$40, but they tackled the wrong man, and when the second offer was made ha told them so in language So pla1n that they gave it up.
 He started for Nogales with the party but had an eyentful trip. The river sud denly rose and in the attempt to cross MT. Jensens horse became unmanageable and he was compelled to dismount Af- ter reaching tha shore In safety the Chi nese refused to cross, although he pointed out to them safe crossing. They began to take cover in the weeds and brush and were about in the act of making break when the officer pulled his revolver and fired shot into the ground close to the feet of two of them fo.. the purpose of frightening them into obeying his orders. Ors shot had the desired effect and they hastened to cross over to him.
 Friday morning the discomfited Celes- tials were taken before Commissioner Cumming, who postponed hearing till Tuesday in order to give the U. S. Dis triat Attorney time to get here. and re- nlanded the prisoners back to jail.

A VALUABLE ONYX MINE.
A Los Angeles Real Estate Mans Heavy
 Purchase in Arizona.
Los Angeles Express.

Los Angeles Express.
 MT. Smith, of the firm of Nolan < Smith. of this city, has just returned from Ari- zOna where he has purchased for $250000 one of the finest onyx mines ever dis covered. The mine was recently located twenty-eight miles south of Prescott. and within a stones throw of what is and has been since the organization of the Terri tory, the main highway of travel between northern and southern sections. For over a quarter of q century. within fifty feet of Mayors station on Big Bug creek. in one of the oldest ana what was supposed to be one of the most thoroughly prosDected mining districts in the Territory, laid un- cared for and mheeded. 220 acres of the most beautiful onyx that ever pleased the eye of man. Red. green, blue, old gold, pink, white, black, translucent, variegated in every variation, the onyx is found covering this area to an unknown depth, and while the owners of the only other onyx quarry in existence-the one in the State of Puebla, Mexico-were growing rich by selling their stone at from $S to sS20 cubic foot, hundreds of persons passed over this deposit to ad- mire for a moment the wonderful beauty of the rock and then cast 1t away as worthless, until last February, when Al. and George McCann, William O. O'Neill and John w. Dougherty located it in a vague, speculative sort of way. trusting that the future would develop some way in which its products could be utilized A few samples sent to Chicago astonished the experts of that city, where $100000 of Mexican stone had been used in the interior decorations of the just then com pleted auditorium.
 Nothing of the kind used in that build ing, in color or texture, could compare with the Arizona stone, while the flaws that made the Mexican stone so defective were totally missing. Both Chicago and New York experts on onyx were sent to the Territory, and all were astonished not only at the extent of the quarry, but also at the fact that the onyx was in regular quarry formation, something never. before known, as in Mexico it Is only found in boulders. The long accepted theory that the stone was primarily formed in the shape of stala9mites and stalactites was upset, and the only explanation that could be advanced to account for the Arizona freak of a regular quarry of onyX-just like sandstone or grapite-was that the valley in nwhieh Il was located had at one time been the basin of lake formed by a spring whose waters were strongly i'm pregnated with lime to form the body of the stone, and with iron, geld, copper and other minerals to color;t, and then cen turies of evaporation under the burning suns of Arszona did the rest. and as re- suit gave quarry that rivals in it's beau ties of colors the glories of'the opal The present owners expect to make a fortune from the mine

Sudden Summons
Journal. Miner

The Journal Miner of last evening briefly announced the illness of Charles A. Girdler, one of the best known mining experts in the country, but little was 1t thought then that 1t would be called upon to chronicle his demise. His death oc- cured between and 10 o'clock last eve ming. On Monday night he was taken with an attack of asthma, with which he has been troubled for years, and com planning on Tuesday morning of having had bad night of it and unable to sleep. He was on the street, however, during the forenoon, but placed himself under the care of physician. He was in con siderable distress during the afternoon and about five o'clock dropped asleep and never again walked up. Dr. Miller, who attended him, visited him about 7:30 o'clock and found him asleep, his pulse beating regular and steady and his res p:ration natural. In less than an hour af- forwards his attendant went n to see him and could detect neither any breathing or pulse. Dr. Lincoln. who lived next door to him, was called in, and Dr. Mil Ter was summoned also The latter ar rived before g o'clock, but life was ex- tinct.
 The deceased had resided with his wife in Prescott for four or five years, being engaged il different mining enterprises here. He was veteran of the late wal and received several serious wounds. His wife went east about two two months ago to visit relatives and has not yet returned She was notified this morning of her sud den and great loss.

them for the trifling sum of $2OO. These trees are infected with scale of insect, and they will be kept here until the pests are killed. It will perhaps be early in September before we consider them safe to send west There is in all about a carload, and we will endeavor to have them watered en route so that they may reach their different destinations in as good condition as they are now. think We can say that the choicest varieties of the date will be safely planted in the date growing sections of this country this year.
 l have also ordered plants from regions of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers through our Consul at Beyrout, and another collection of the choicest varieties of Persia through our Minister at Teheran. These will perhaps be received within year.
 Professor Van Deman IS certainly en- titled to the thanks of our horticulturists for his intelligent and energetic move ments in this matter. We understand that the importation of the date plants is to be divided between California, Arizona and New Mexico Those for this state will be sent to the University Depart ment of Agriculture and will be planted at the outlying stations which afford con ditions most promising for the date chiefly, probably at Tulare and at Po- mona. Here they will be fruited and will serve as centers for propagation. whence the new plants will ere long be distribut- ed to other favoring localities. The in- coming of these dates will be one of the most interesting event in our horticultur- al history, and may be in the future con- sidered of great significance.

WHITE LIQUOR.
The MescaI Plant and " hat is Being Done
 With it.
Tombstone Prosnector.

The arrival to-day from Sonora of four horse load of mescal which was drawn up in the front of the custom house in Tombstone, caused some speeu- lation regarding its destination and man ufacture, and upon investigation the Prospector gained some interesting in- formation about the industry which Is getting to be an important one in the country lying south of LIS. This partic- ular load came from the Mescal ranch just below the San Bernardino ranch. This liquor Is manufactured and sold in Sonora for dollar gallon in Mexican money, and pays duty of two dollars gallon on this side in American money. Mescal is gradually gaining in favor with the American people, and Is said to be. when pure, one of the most harmless of any liquor sold. For kidney trouble 1t has many times been prescribed and used with remarkable results, effect ing a cure in positive manner.
 The manufacture of the liquor has been carried on for hundreds of years and all over Arizona can be found remains of huge pits in which this plant was cooked prior to the juice being extracted. The crude methods of extracting the juice and distilling 1t have given way in most parts pA hDOlitiet. to ldSllilltS lOE It's manufacture, many of the plants being extensive and costly. At Nogales, So- nora Is a distillery on a large scale, which is doing large business and covers a half acre of ground. A visit to this place short time since furnished food for re lection on one branch of industry which will be a revelation to most Arizonians. If Is, that COchise county furnishes the bulb or plant from which the juice is extracted. The mescal plant grows to perfection in the slope along the Whet- stone mountains and Is gathered and shipped on the N. M. < A. road to Noga- les distillery. Here 1t IS manufactured into liquor reshipped to this country, paying a duty of sS2 on each gallon. This is another instance of where protection to our industries does not protect
 With the growing demand for mescal 1 there is surely an opening for some en- terprising man to establish similar in dustry this country where the stock grows in abundance and can be had for nothing but the labor used its gathering.

Home Figs and Raisins
Phenix Herald,

Peoria, out on Grand avenue, is coming handsomely to the front, S. c. Symonds reported from there last evening. and ac- cording to his account, which is eminent ly reliable, the business of drying figs and curing raisins has this year been es- abolished on firm foundation Messrs. Storm, Adams and others have succeeded in producing both of these crops in mer- cantile quantities. Tons of rich, savory figs, and first quality raisins have been and are still being shipped east, where they meet with ready sales at gratifying figures. The well-knawn S0-acre fig ranch of the Bartletts will be increased to double that capacity next fall, and all land owners in the Peoria district will now turn their attention to these indus tries, since they have been practically proved to be so remuneratiye.

DRIVING THE STAKES. Survey of the Bradshaw Road Begun Advantages That Will be
 Secured Thereby.
Phenix Herald

This afternoon freighter A T. Marsh and Surveyor Trott started to survey and lay out good wagon road to the Brad shaw country, by which the heaviest freight teams can travel easily. From Phenix to Frog tanks, distance of 37 miles, there will be no work needed ex- cept perhaps $1 900 for turns and grading near the Tanks. Thence up the Aqua Fria ten miles to Humbug creek possibly another S1 900 may be required Captain Heating has already built the worst DOT tion of this section from hlS private funds. the sum of $2,000 being used by him in cutting out two miles of highway through solid rock and boulders
 From the Humbug to Minnehaha Flat and the old Bradshaw road. eighteen miles, the road must be built new. Here the principal portion of the funds now being subscribed must go. The long as cent is to be graded and many canyons are to have easy approaches provided.
 That last distance is all that really sep arates the Bradshaws from Phenix When that Is struck a good route lies open for teamsters to Walnut Grove and the mines The Crown King mine alone has car load of ore daily for freighter Marsh to haul here as soon as the new road Is com pleted. Other mines have mineral for regular shipment, so that elght or ten teams will be driving into Phenix every day from that country. The trade of the drivers alone will be an item, as they can be counted on to drop from $5 to $25 trip for luxuries and amusements. Our saloons can well afford to advance one, two or three hundred dollars each towards the road for if will come hack tO them with 1000 per cent increase in very short time.
 Mir. Marsh is contributing his time and service now gratis. He expects to receive reimbursements from the freighting bus mess promised on the opening of a new road. He will return with Surveyor Trott next week and expects to begin work then according to the courses and grade stakes that will be driven on the present survey. Meanwhile our business men should assure the needed funds be- yond chance of failure.
