Indians In New Mexico.

Charles Stesn came in from the lower Animas Wednesday and reports Indians. He says that on Friday night the Head X Heart roundup was campsd near the Grey ranch, and the boys saw camp fires near them during the night. In the morning it was found that i've horses were missing and four strange horses were found, all of them shOd with raw hide. One of the horses was good sig cd black. ..horss branded with an R on the left thigh. They soon discovered the trail and found there were ten or fifteen of them. Oscar Roberts, who had charge Of the round up, sent men over to a camp on Deer Creek to warn the men there that there were Indians in the country, and found that the Indians had taken shot at one of the boys, but missed him. These Indians, or others, a day or two later went through Ed HowelPs camp near Alamo Hucco and took everything including gun, bedding and saddle; luckily Howell Was away Mir. Steen's son was with the round up and as soon as the Indian signs were dis covered he went home to give warning. Mir. Steen has not dared to leave his ranch for six weeks until now, when his sons are at home to guard the family F. M Chase, who lives near him has al so had to stay at home. Mir. Steen says there are great many fires in the Sierra Madres, and have been for several weeks. He reported the state of affairs to Lieu tenant Evans, who has sent ten of his men down in that country 10 see what they can find.

The Santa Cruz.

From alnost plain evidence, this famous valley has been occupied by farmers over hundred years. It's cs- tire length bears evidence of this fact Settlements have grown Bp and dis appeared, and there is not even h.stori- cal connection be. wesn the former and present settlers Ruins of buildings, in cluding mining works, larger and prob ably better than any now occupied, con stituts the indisputabls testimony of the comparative extent of the former people and their improvements. This testimony may be seen at San Xavier and other points near Tucson. Ts students and very inquisitive people, much that We could write in this behalf would doubtless be interesting; but with the farmer, stock -raiesr and miner, struggling along to lGeet current necss- sitles with hopes of something more, it would probably have a mere passing thought, and theretors we will turn to brief notice of advantages the valley now present for the settler, and some of its improvements.

Enr Hiil Ciinii,ara.

The physical energy or force some. times exerted by the human body un- der certains conditions is known to be astonishing, but no one has ever taken the trouble to put before us that force in figures. Dr. J. Bucheister has now made a most interesting calculation on the "work done" by mountaineers in ascending heights, which will serve as an illustration. Supposing a noun taineer weighing 168 pounds is mak- ing the ascent of summit 1000 feet high from the point of starting, he has to expend an amount of physical force found by multiplying his weight by the height to be ascended In the case assumed, a weight of 16S pounds, multiplied by a height of 2, 1000 feet, equals 1,176,OOO foot pounds; or in, other words, l, 176, 900 pounds have to be lifted one foot.
 This IS work performed merely by the muscles of the legs, but besides this, the contractions of the muscles of the heart have to be taken into ac. count. Its function consists, as is we'll known, in propelling the blood col lecting in the heart on the one hand into the arteries, and on the other into the lungs. This Is effected at an in- itial velocity of one and One-half foot per second, which represents in the case of an adult a work of four foot pounds for each contraction of the heart. The pulsations of an adult are, on an average, seventy-two pez minute, but in ascending heights, ow- ing to the additional exertion, theii number is increased to an extraordi- nary extent.
 Assuming, for the sake of simplicity in calculation, only 100 beats of the pulse per minute, tbis would give 400 foot pounds per minute, 24,000 foot pounds per hour, and 10000 foot pounds for the five hours supposed to be required in ascending a height of 1000 feet. The work performed by the muscles in breathing, by the ex- pansion and contraction of the chest, may also be estimated at foot pounds. Assuming, further, that the number of breathings per minute is, on the av craze, only 25, although, as a matter of fact, 1t will be found to be higher in a mountain ascent lasting five hours, we have to add further work of COCO foot pounds.
 The total work performed during five hours by mountaineer conse- quently amounts to 1926, ,O00 foot pounds. In this estimate are not in- cluded the physical force spent ill overcoming thefriction on the ground, the exertions to be made in keeping the body erect at dizzy heights, and in dragging heavy boots and foot irons, nor the loss of muscle power in cutting steps in the ice, not to reckon the work performed in carrying an ice OK, or the physical force exerted in crossing fresh loose snow. Taking all these conditions into account, Dr. Bucheister arrives at the conclusion that the work done in an ascent of 1000 feet, lasting five hours. cannot be placed at less than 1, 1880, 900 foot pounds.

Literary Note.

The July number of the Cosmopolitan Magazine departs from its usual make up and devotes itself largely to fiction, travel and sports. A new Southern writer, Robert Yullee Toombs, of Georgia. comes to the front with one oi the most spirited sketches of southern life yet published. Julian Hs thorne presents a curious study of the Boston girl asking of her in his title page "WaS it Typical:" Eleanor Sherman Tackara. daughter of Gen. WIT. Sherman, ap- pears for the first time in the literar, world in a discussion of Three Great Phil adslphia Training Schools; and IFS. Roger A.

Trout Fishing in Lake Ed ward, and ::the actual experiences of Trapping Grizzly" will interest the hunter who proposes to roam the noun tain .idges during the summer. Arthur Shsrburns Hardy, one of the most dis tinguishGd graduates of the Hilary Academy. and the author of "Passe Rose" which received last year such favorable criticism in English speaking countries, will start this month for Japan with the intention of preparing for the Cosmopolitan, some articles on the military forces of that country, to be completely illustrated by photo graphs and sketches.

For months past the Eagle Milling Company has been experimenting in va rious ways with the view of producing an article which shall in every respect be equal if not superior to any four brought into this territory from else whore. They have improved their plant at great expense, have in their employ none but the best of skilled labor, and use nothing but the best of wheat, all of which is raised in the territory. The result has been Q marked success. The color, and baking qualities of the 'Gold Dust" brand is not surpassed by any flour imported from the East or West. Any enc having used it will readily testify to the truth of tho above state ment. There are many people, however, who have never given this brand trial, and on this account, or because of an i'll founded prejudice against any home production, persist in using imported flour, even though they pay more for it, and do not attain ss good results as can be realized with the already famous "Gold Dust" The popularity of this brand is fast spreading, and when fam ilies awake to the fact that not only can they purchase it cheaper, but can meet with more success in baking than they could with other brands which they have used longer, no doubt they will never do without it.
 So confident is the manager of the Eagle Milling Company, that 'GOLD DUST' meets all the requirements of a irst-class flour and that it possesses all the merits clslmed for it, that he has re- solved to give it public baking test. The office and sample room is located on Congress Street, opposite Court. The public is cordially invited to step in here and see, and test for themselves the bread made from "GOLD DUST" four If it does not equal in color, and sweet ness, that made from any of the inn ported flour, then let the flour not be pat ronized. But on the other hand If il proves to be not only equal but supe Tier in color and taste, to that made from other flour, what moro reasonable than to expect the patronage of our peo- pie.
 Without taking into consideration the fact that this flour is strictly a produc tiOn made by home labor and out of home material, the questions of import ance to consumer are simply these: Is "GOLD DUST" as good as any other flour! Is it a, cheap as the imported flour? The first question is easily answered by the bread. The same answers itself by inquiring at the grocers. Take just 80 much trouble and you will find that the Eagle Milling Company's "GOLD DUST' of all the Hours, is the four you want to use. Ask your grooers for it.

Magic Rivers.

A sudden thaw in spring is com mon enough cause of the swelling
 and overflow of rivers, but few peO- pie have experience of what might be
 called magic rivers" which disappear almost as suddenly as they are born. One such, however, Is described by w. Fl. Mallock, in his account of Cy- prus, entitled ''In an Enchanted Isl and"
 On a certain evening there was succession of thunder showers, and then, all night, a heavy and ceaseless downpour. This" said my host, in the morning, fought to bring down the river" l asked what he meant by this, and he answered that the river below us was rarely anything more than dry bed of pebbles, just as it was now.
 But generally once - sometimes three times-in the year it would sud- denly fill with water, flow for an hour or two, and again become dry and si- lent. 1 felt that the sight must be curious, and wished that I might be able to witness 1t.
 About four o'clock in the afternoon servant came to my bedroom and asked me to gc into the garden. There found my host with an opera glass, standing on the bank.
 ''LOokp exclaimed he, pointing, fits coming. Listenl you can hear"
 l listened and looked. 1 at last caught sound, faint and uncertain, as leaves rustling in dream. Then suddenly, far away on the plain, saw something flash, like the head of pointed spear Gradually this pro- longed itself into slim, shining line. which presently took curve. For a time its course was straight; then it curved again.
 In ten minutes, over the brown sur face of the fields the water had stretch ed itself like long, silvery snake, and the sound had heard growing every instant more distinct, explained itself to the ear as the voice of the stirred pebbles. The river channel skirted the bottom of the garden, and thus, as the flood went by, we had every op- portunity of observing it. It pushed itself forward, headed by a mass of bubbles and scum; it split itself into fierce rivulets, which. moment later, were drowned in the body of the stream; it gurgled against banks; il :ircled into transitory whirlpools
 Gradually, as we watched, its vol ume seemed to diminish, and in an hours time there was only trickling Till, over which a child , years ol1 might nave stepped.-Montreal Star.

Governor Wolfley during his frequent visits to Tucson, combines business with pleasure. The formeI consists ID dsbauching the high office of the exc cutive, by personal solicitation to our business men for advertisements and subscriptions to his organ, the Phsnix Republican. We do not think 6 parallel case c-n be shown in the country where the governor of a great territory at any time before, so far for got the dignity that attaches to the office of the chief executive, as to de- scsnd to personal solicitations for sub scriptions and advertisements to news paper in which he is personally and financially interested. No one more than ourselves, for gsod and sufficient reasons we'll known to the public, regrets such action on the part of the governor of Arizona, and we truly hope that some one having influence with him, will con- vince him of the error of his ways.

New Uses for the Shoe B~.foner,


 It is singular fact that nine out of ten Of the buns and tramps brought into the station house have on their person shoe buttoner. No matter what kind of shoes they wcar, still :Sey have one of these simple instruments. Lieut.. HambrOck decided a week ago to make a collection of the shoe buttOners taken from the prisoners brought into Bremen street station. In the seven days they numbered eighteen, and like young ladies do with their strings of buttons, he attached them together. He has now a chain some three feet in length. A peculiar thing is that the hook end is bent into a variety of shapes. The penchant for having button CTS attracted the attention of the detect ives long ago, and it happened to strike some bright minded policeman that the little instrument could be made to do the work Of a skeleton key, as far as the locks in common use were con cerned. In reality, the shoe buttoner, to all intents and purposes was converted into burglars tool, and still could be readily passed olf as d necessary imple ment in arranging ones toilet. The pos session of q skeleton key is a serious offense and carries with it conviction ,f penal term. The law, however, cannot re- gard the shoe buttoner as . central nG article, and still the evil intending GIa as well fortified with it as with the Lurelars favOritc tCcl, since, Ti!cn properly shaped. it does the work equally as well.

 Report.

A St. Louis gentleman whose afliction was sick headaches was so surprised at the cure effected by Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, that he called it to the attention of relative, who hap pened to be none other than Dr. F. A. Barrett, the well-known St. Louis physician of 2652 Shen- andoah Street. The doctor saw at once that 1t differed from the potash preparations in that it was purely vegetable, and becoming interested in it. began q series of investigations, and in subsequent letter candidly admitted its curative properties, and says
 Wishing to test it's virtues further, used it fn my own family, and prescribed it for patients who required a general system regulator AS result can say it is an almost absolute cure for constipation, biliousness, dyspepsia, indiges- ton, and sick headaches. These troubles usu- ally come from disturbed condition of the stomach and bowels. and Joys Vegetable Sarsa- parilla is the best laxative and stomach regula- tor have ever seen. and as a general system corrective is almost perfection itself.
