Victoriano, the companion of Ger onimo now in the county jail says that he and Geronimo robbed the Bis- bee stage and even goes 80 far as to describe the men and woman who were on the stage. He tells how much they got and the conversation with Engle. After this robbery they went down to Nogales and from there came up on their way to Mammoth and stood up Chinaman and robbed him. They were to meet another party of Mexicans near Mammoth and all to- gether they were to rob store near there. The other party was coming from Globe and are supposed to be waiting somewhere around there for the Geronimo party. All of this iel- lows stories tally so closely with the facts that there is no doubt of the truth of what he says.

Several eye witnesses bring in re- ports that the 20 stamp mill of Hub. bard and Bowers at their Bonanza mine. Harqua Hala, has been success fully started and will doubtless run continuously. An outside expert, familiar with the property, says the present mill can easily clean up $50, 0,00O per mC nth. Tom Cochran, a former owner. states that the ore now treated is similar to what he and his partners miiled, which ran from $2O to $50 per ton. During the six months of his management at the old Harris burg mill, running irregularly, $86, 900 was cleaned up. The Hubbard X Bow CTS mines are, in Mir. Cochran's em- phatic opinion, without doubt the best free gold properties in Arizona.-Her aid.

Sentenced.

This morning at ten o'clock court opened and those convicted during the late term of court were brought before the court to receive their sen- tences.
 Lopez, convicted of robbery, receiv- ed seven years. He said before being sentenced that he could not see why a man had to go to jail without proof.
 Salazar and Contreras, each received for the crime of grand larceny, four years. The former had nothing to say and the latter asked the judge to make the sentence light as possible.
 Doremas, convicted of manslaughter received ten years.
 WheI the court had finished with these prisoners he turned to Mark Smith and iotimated that he was ready for argument in the motion for new trial. MT. Smith referred to the reasons why new trial should be granted, the most prominent of which were that the defendant was cempell- ed to sit during trial when he was physically and mentally unfit to aid his counsel in any manner what ever That material witness was absent owing to sickness and that the had been forced upon the defendant notwithstanding an affidavit to that effect was before the court and that the court had erred in charging the jury.
 Attorney General Herring for the prosecution, said few words contra to the points raised by the defense ana intimated that had the witness for the defense taken the stand, the verdict of the jury would have been one ol more severity.
 The judge overruled the motion fol anew trial and asked the defendant to stand up. He asked whether he had anything to say, why sentence should not be passed and the response being in the negative. he sentenced him to ten years imprisonment, tht full limit allowed by the statute.
 Thirty days were granted to file bil of exceptions.

tols and began shooting, I began to shoot, there were other shots fired around me and my party, but don't know who fired them. After they had ran about two hundred and fifty yards one of them fell from his horse, the other one kept on the road, still shoot ing for about 200 yards further than ho turned to the left and jumped his horse into ditch of water, and the horse bogged down, the Mexican either umped off or fell off his horse. When he got on his feet he fired his fifth shot and the best 1 could see, the last I saw of him he was ill the brush trying to put cartridge in his pistol About an hour after we had started to Benson with the dead man, Geo Will son overlook us and told me that they had found the other man that had got away from us, we turned back, got the wounded man and brought him to Benson. We found two horses and one saddle in possession of the prison CTS, one of which I recognized as be- longing to MT. Jones and the other in the charge of MT. Wakefield, Whet- stone mountains.
 Sam Bohn testified substantially as the others of the party.
 This testimony is about all there is to be told of the pursuit and capture of these outlaws.
 Geronimo was recognized by several men who knew him we'll. A photo graph was also taken of him after death with a Kodak camera. Burt Alvord who arrested him once and had seen him many times, recognized him at once upon seeing the body. Ex-sheritf Slaughter is in town and was of course pleased to hear of the death of the worst character in the county during his term of office. At one time Victorio Sandoval, the fellow who surrendered without shooting, was employed by Slaughter to trail Geronimo and locate him. H sbei ng in company with the outlaw on hls last raid goes to prove that he was no more trustworthy scout than the majority of Apaches who are paid for that service by the government.
 The two men who were captured are now in the county jail having been bound over to appear before the grand jury. They were brought up by Sher- iff Gray of Benson. Their names are respectively Victoria Sandoval and Guadalupe Redondo. The latter has flesh wound which is not hurting him much. Evidence is coming to light which will lay at the door of at least one of the prisoners and Geroni- mo volume of crimes which will prove almost incredible.
 Sandovol is very talkative and among other murders which he states were committed by Geronimo was that of Duncan about year ago in the Huachuca mountains. There is suf- fcient evidence to connect him with nearly every stage robbery committed in southern Arizona and the half of his devilment has not been told.
 THE VERDICT.
 We, the undersigned jurors find that Santiago Morano known as Geronimo Miranda came to his death from a gunshot wound the 18th day of June, 1891 at the hands of pursuing party. We find the killing justifable and ex- onerate all parties concerned.

MCKINLEY AND THE FARMERS.


Mr. Mckinley persists in the attempt to
fool the farmer into the belief that he is as
much protected as anybody else by the spo
liation tariff. We see in the course Of his
first gun in his campaign he referred to the
fact that the farmer has surplus which he
must dispose of in foreign markets. He did
not deny the fact; he did not state, much
less attempt TO disprove, that the price Of the
surplus governs the price of the whole crop,
and therefore no American tariff can affect
the price of the crop, because II cannot affect
the foreign price of the surplus or at least
cannot affect it iavorably to the American
farmer. Ignoring all that, with a great
flourish, he introduced table Of figures
showing the value of imports of what he
called farm products in 1890. The total was
$79,S12, ,102. This Mr. Mckinley introduced
as triumphant refutation of an assumed
assertion which nobody makes, that "no
products come into the United States In
competition with American farm products"
Certain facts of the highest Importance to
the argument Of Mr.. Mckinley found it con.
venient not to state. For one thing, he did
not state the fact which appears in the same
publication of the Treasury bureau of sta.
tistics, from which he compiled his table,
that the value of our exports of products of
agriculture in 1890 was $e29, 9,s15,939, or
nearly eight times the value of what he
calls farm products imported. For another
thing, he did not clearly state the character
OF the products imported. For instance,
he stated the value of "breadstuffs" import.
ed at $6,034,272 but he did not state that
$5,629 $40 of this, or all but about $400, ,OO0
was barley, which is beerstuff and not a
breadstuff. In regard to fruits he omitted
to state that nearly all were of kinds which
are not produced in perfection in this coun.
try, and that fact disposes of nearly $14,-
100000 or more of the $79,S00,000 of i'm.
ported farm products. Over $15,000,OO0
more was for wool, which we import be.
cause certain kinds which we need are not
grown in this country, chiefly carpet wools,
which it is claimed 1t will not pay to grow
under any circumstances. OF our staple
farm products we import very small quan.
titles, and these almost wholly for use in
isolated localities where they do not reach
the general market in the least
Mr.. McKinley's array of comparatively
trifiing figures did not alter the great tact
thatthe staple American farm products are
largely in excess Of the home demand, that
the surplus has to be sold abroad, and that |
what can be obtained for the surplus gov
erns the price of the entire product 1t does
not alter the fact that the farm supplies |
nearly 75 per cent OF all our exports, and |
nearly as large proportion now as ever be-
fore. 1t does not alter the fact that after
thirty years Of tariff protection, which was
going to give the farmer home market, be
still finds his prices made in foreign markets
Mr. Mckinley was very careful not to
