The Colorado River Road.
Phenix Herald.

Col. Robert Stanton. chief engineer of the Denver, Colorado Canon and Paci- tic railroad, whose perilous but successful locating reconnaissance through the Co dorado river's mighty chasms made him famous eve. yeWh here, is now living quietly with his family at Coronado. He has prepared an article describing hIs ad- ventures and their results for the Scrib- ner's Magazine. It will appear in No vember issue.
 A great work is now expressing the distinguished engineers attention, to wit the preparation of final report to the stockholders of his company, giving full particulars of the grand scemc and freight line that his survey showed to be practically and enormously profitable down the wonderful waterway. Over 1000 photographic views were taken along the line, which must be properly arranged Ill the report. This latter will probably include J0,0O0 words or more IL will be an exhaustive and acknowl edged authority hereafter on the railroao engineering of the Colorado,
 lt Is possible that the Prescott roat from Phenix may be built and connec tion made with Engineer Stanton's line while the other trunk roads are lookinA over our country and fighting for sub sidies in Congress. That the Colorado River and Rocky Mountain line will in clude grander scenery and more boiC feats of railroad engineering than can b, found elsewhere in this country, zoe. without saying Its traffic freight anC passengers, will also be enormous. It is possible that Engineer Stanton may come to Phenix in October ant visit some of old friends pag rosidine here.

MARKING MAVERICKS.
A Profitable but PeriIous Range In
 duStry.
Nogales Record

The average herdsmau recognizes COW thief at a greater distance than the most expert cowboy can read d well known brand, and he hates him with all the earnestness Of which his broad and fertile nature is capable. There are more of these phantom range riders than most people think and as q rule they are very industrious individuals. No range is without them and herdsmen and their employ ecs watch them as a chicken would hawk. In tiis country these strolling Knights of the branding-iron are Mex ican. As general thing they are own CTS of small herds but their industry soon swells their holdings to remarkable pro portions for the amount of actual capital they have invested. The average Mex lcans cOw-thief has q novel of brutal way of proceeding. They ride leisurely over the ranges looking for mavericks (un- branded calves) and when they find one they rope it and tie it securely in a deep ruvine or clump Of bushes where it is not likely to be seen. They then begin run ming the mother of the hidden calf and do not stop until they have driven her al full speed several miles away By that time she Is about so nearly run down that she does not care to hunt up the calf which has, of course, abont reached the age to wean The brutal thief then re. turns to the calf, put his ear-marks and brands upon it; sees that it k securely tied in place secure from observation and he leaves it for three or four days without food or water. At the end oI that time our willy range rider returns and unties the half-staryed animal. O course when freed it makes no effort tC hunt its mother, but turns its attention to food and water and goes abroad on tn, range wearing the brand of a new owne and thief.
 You cant make herdsman beiev, otherwise than that the mission of COW thief after death Is to do duty as stree car mule ill Oshkosh.

The Victim of Apaches
Lordsburg Libe ral.

Last week party of Deming friends of Carl Ehrman who was recently killed down i'll the Hachitas went down and brought mp his body. They were guided by one of the soldiers of troop D which buried Mir. Ehrman. The Headlight in- terviewed tine soldier with the following results: Private Pointer says that au examination of the surroundings and cir cumstances at the time of the finding of Ehrman's body satisfied the soldiers that Riggs and Ehrman were not killed by the same individuals, aud that the killing was not done by Indians. The trail Of the Indians who killed Ali Williams was some distance away from where those bodies were found and the evidence about them and in the neIghborhood pointed more strongly to the presence of white men than of Indians' which leads the Headlight to say: Here is chance f0I some good detective work, and it is hoped the matter will be thoroughly mvestlga ted Captain Keyes, who had charge of the troop which followed the trail, told the Liberal that there was not doubt but what Indians killed these three men, that there were but two lndlaus and these two killed all three of the men. This wa. the captains personal opinion, and the Mohave scouts who were with hm subse quently reported as being of the sam, opinion

 Good Reports.
Tucson Citizen


 Alessrs. Fred II. Figel and John F. Magee returned last evening from the Greaterville placers. Mir. Figel in pros pecting all the different gulches and Mr. Magee in taking levels and making sur vey for a pipe line to bring the water on tLeIe plaeers.
 In connection with this matter We wor say that these placers are we'll known to the citizens of this county and are Qute extensive and very rich. They were discovered in 1875 and for five years there was quite large camp there. Over one million dollars have been taken out The work is being done by the rocker and pan. Water is the great consideration, all the dirt being packed to water or the water to the dirt. There are miles of old workings the dumps from those works which will all yield a dollar per ton or more. The gold is pretty evenly disseminated through the gravel the richest parts being on the bed rock which is from four to thirty feet deep. There are millions of dollars ly- ing buried there and the gulches having been 50 well prepared for sluicin9 and h 7draulickin9 by So much work already be ng done will make it much easier than a virgin find. There are year in and year out from 40 to 80 Mexcans at work their daily product in their crude way being from 7j cents to $l.50 each.
 Mir. Figel is very well pleased with his examination and feels confident that il will be easy to interest capital in the en- terprise of putting tine water op the placers. The water supply will como from the Santa Rita mountains four ol five miles away where there is large water shed and the heavy snows on the Santa Rita mountains during every win ter and the usual annual rains fuinisl from 1j0 to 3O0 inches of water over 20C days each year The enterprise is gil | edge and will pay large profits for many years and we wish such enterprises sue cess.

New Flouring Mill.
St. Johns Herald.


 A visit to the St. Johns Touring mill which commenced grinding a few days since, with the latest and most improved machinery for the manufacture of flour. should convince the most skeptical that the necessity for impoft,ne flour no ion ger exists in Apache county The mil is under full headway, but the 0ld burrs are as silent as tombstones and have given place to the roller process, the machin- cry for which was manufactured in Leav enworth, Kansas, by the great Western Manufacturing Company. William G. Black who has long had charge of the mill and has been a miller from boy hood put the new machinery in place, as sisted by his brother John. by a plan and directions sent him from the manufactorv. and when the water was turned on and rotation of the wheels commenced the mill trembled from turret to foundation stone, and the intricate machinery moved like a thing of life. Those who under stand machinery and milling say 1t is a complete success, and the projectors oe the changes and improvements are to be congratulated on their enterprise in keep ing pace with the progress of the times. The capacity of the mill is twenty barrels per day and the water power sufficient to keep the mill running nine or ten months in the year, Cocks and bread caters who have sampled the flour pronounce it of a superior quality. and the most fastidious are satisfied with home manufacture. Mr. Black is sanguine that he can furnish flour, from an excellent grain raised ill this valley. equal in every respect to Gal ifornia and eastam tioar. which has here tofore been imported in large quantities to this county, and at lower prices A large amount of money will annually be kept at home by purchasing breadstul1,s manufactured in St Johns

Torn to Pieces .
I.Ordsburo Iibprul

For few weeks past miner named Thomas Conway, but commonly known Rs "Sootty" has heep-working at Shake speare. Friday he enjoyed pay day and proceeded to blow in his pay: by Monday he was broke and had begun to sober up. He concluded to leave town and had to take brake beam ticket Hewas driven off the train once or twice, but before it left managed to secrete himself on a truck, When he got mile or so east of town Ii x clothes probably caught on an axle and he was whirled around a few times and completely torn to pieces. His head was torn off and the largest piece found was about three times the size of a silver dol lar. The legs and arms were torn of and broken into small pieces. In fact he was distributed over 150 or 200 yards of track. The section men came in and brought word of the accident and an engine and several lnen went out to investigate He was recognized by his coat, pipe and neck tle, but the remalns were Ill such shape that no one had the heart 10 gather them up. The section men were set at the job and picked up the pieces which were brought to town. Judge Titus held an inquest The verdict was in accordance with the above facts and exonerated the company from all blame. A coffin was huili si.l the remains were inferred in the burying ground below town.

Mining in Yuma.

 The outlook for a revival in mining is most promising and encouraging and es- peaiaily IS this so as regards placer min- ing. The placer fields of Yuma county are large in area and undoubtedly very rich and the vast wealth taken therefrom in days gone by will no doubt be sur passed in the days to come Advices re- ceived from a reliable source are very en- couraging. and with the advent of cooler weather work will most assuredly be commenced by the Monitor Placer Min ing Company, on the placers adjaoant to Gila City. The machinery has already been ordered and will shortly be shipped Extra large and very powerful pumps are being especially manufactured fol this company, and they expect to com. mence throwing water by the first oi November next, when thorough and ao- tive working of those fields will be made The promoters of this enterprise feel con tidant that the venture will prove 10 be { successful one.
