KAUTZ ON RECRUITS
The General Says They Should
be Obtained
From the Young. Ambitious and Energetic
IONS of Patriotic Citizens-They Should
Serve One Enlistment.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Brigadier- Gen
eral Kautz, commanding the department of
the Columbia in his annual report speaks
OF the repeated troubles between Indians
and white settlers in Kootenai river coun-
try. The Indians in that section are IN
provided with an agent and seem to have
no one to look TO for aid or counsel. Gen
eral kautz says in the near future a great
increase in the number of settlers will pre-
cede the building of the Great Northern
railroad ana trouble will follow unless some
provision is made in anticipation.
In closing his report General kautz says
he regards the highest duty OF our small
army in time Of peace 10 oe the acquisition
and dissemination of military knowledge
among tins people. Recruits for the army
should be obtained from the young, amoi-
tiOus and energetic sons of patriotic citi
Zens, and the army should cease to be the
refuge of the inefficient, indolent, aud
wandering element of the country. Re
cru Us should be furnished from all parts of
the union, in proportion TO the population,
to serve, as rule only one enlistment, and
then be returned to their homes to
serve as officers in the event
of war and instructors for state military
organizations in time of peace. The sup
port OF the government to this end would
raise the standing of enlisted men at once
TO one Of respectaDility, and secure the en-
listment of proper material, which cannot
now be obtained in view OF the low estima-
ton the average civilian entertains for the
soldier in time OF peace. II would also, -
says General Kautz give a distinctive
and republican character to our army,
which l regard as very essential under our
form of government. We cannot hope TO
popularize the army so long as we ape the
methods and details o, European armies,
and there is no necessity for SO doing"

Luis Fay who was sent over iron, Wilcox short time ago and confined in the county jail on charge of az grayated assault upon his his wife was before commissioner Swain today on writ of Habeas Corlu us. It seems that Justice Baker when he sentenced Fay, was the attorney for the wife in a divorce suit. Mrs. Fay and child came over today and the case was tried over again before the commits sioner. The young woman, who is a petite and progressing person. told her story which was in the main points substantiated by the defendant. He admitted having struck her, whip ped her with ramrod and otherwise maltreated her, but was inclined to to the belief that he was justified on the ground of being aggravated by her. It was the opinion of those who heard the testimony today that he ought to be given about 30 lashes.

Good Prospects Ahead for an
 ~Active Year.

ED. PROsPECToR Tt is a pleasure to record that our pretty little camp is livening up somewhat. The chloriders on the Hermosa have had their last 3OO tons of ore run through the mill, which will now start up again on the same quality-rich-under the super vision of MT. Finley, He now has several men prospecting the mine with good results and 1t is to be hoped that the success will be permanent. His management has always been characterized by liberality and whole souled generosity which have won him the esteem and good will of the com- munity.
 The prosperous career of the Trench mine, under its present lessee, will be brought to an end in about week. The closing down of any mine in the vicinity of town is to be regretted.
 The famous Blue Nose Il me (which is, correctly speaking, the Home Agaln) is again to resume operations. It has been leased for two years to NJ. A. Hoover and Cap. Coy. The latter is well-known Nevada man who former ly had command of steamer on Lake Ta.:oe. As they are both practical men of wide experience in mining, and the mine has already produced few hundred thousand, great results are anticipated, The mine will begin operations on the 18th of this month. The Mowry mine forges ahead quietly with 20 men on the pay roll. They are now preparing for their new hoist ing works. The old dump is proving g small bonanza to MT. A. A. McDon- aid who was long sighted enough to buy the lease. He has seven men at work and makes regular shipments.

HOMO'S CONFESSION,
He Drops a Few Pointers As to His object
 In Life.

o. Homo, the naked man, furnished the PRosPECToR yesterday with the first installment of his confession. It should have appeared today, but some wicked person broke open the drawer in which It was and took the contents, confession and all. Below will be found the second installment which will be read with interest, giving,'as it does, the key to the answer of the con. undrum of who and what is the wild man:
 No man need be the slave of money or the money powers, especially in a mild climate like Arizona where a man of common sense can take few seeds in one hand. a sharp stick in the other and on a half acre of land make a more manly, independent and hap pier existence for himself and little ones than nine.tenths of the people do in this land of boasted civilization and wealth.

An Interesting Letter From A.Well Known Citizen
 OfCoChiSe County.


 storm ever known to CC,.H1& liayed havoc among the fruits and flowers for at least half an hour. The hail stones were more than an inch in dia- meter and fell with great force.
 On July 24th the volcano de Colima for years having been silent, burst forth and shot clouds of smoke and flame seemingly miles into the sky, which lasted for hours.
 The trip from Colima to Zopotlan is not pleasant to contemplate as the latter is the most famous spot in the republic for the banditti. The distance between the two cities is thirty leagues through the mountains and can be made only on horseback.
 On the 25th procured guide and negro and set out. l put in the first night at the the great sugar fac tory of San Marcos where We were hospitably entertained by Senor Don Daniel Ochoa, who recently purchased this beautiful estate at a cost of $5OO,- 900 and is turning out 5000 tons of sugar annually.
 In this mountain retreat the Don has erected beautiful residence and quarters for his 500 men he keeps constantly employed. All his build ings are lighted with electricity.
 We took the saddle early in the morning and half hours ride brought us to the Baranca Beltran-so called from the fact that Beltran was the captain of a famous gang of bandits, some hundred years ago, and this heavily timbered baranca or gorge was his favorite retreat.
 There are seven of these barancas to dross but the Baranca Beltran is the widest of them. Standing on the brink of this great chasm ones head fairly whirls to watch the swift river directly under you some 800 feet down. It IS only about 500 feet wide. We form nineteen loops on one side and sixteen on the other going down and up the almost perpendicular banks. All these curves are paved with stone.
 Zopotlan has about 10000 inhabit- ants and is situated on the borders of large lake five miles across. The lake is bordered with pine trees and grain fields.
 The brigand is still feared and the police are in constant dread and dare not leave the center of the city unless four or five go together. Two police men were killed month ago because they got too far from home quarters. A policeman to be safe has to stand in with the brigandage as well as the municipality.
 One man was recently killed for re- sistihg the brigands, and another, an American, robbed of everything, even clothing, and given pair of old draw CTS and shirt to enter the city of Colima with. A peon is never hurt unless he resists. People travelling through this section should get ex- change from town to town which is easily procured from the main busi ness houses, and pack two or three dol lars for probable attack.

 both child and savage scorn with dis dain unless specially trained for their use. It might be all very we'll for farmer to exchange corn for coffee producers plantation adjoined his, but when he is under the necessity of sharing with the bulls and bears, trans; ortation companies and the vast army of middlemen who do nothing but collect toll from honest labor, he surely ought to see, he pays too dear for his commercial whistle.
 I verify believe coffee causes more sickness, wife beating, and cruelty to animals than whiskey, on account it's tendency to derange the digestive organs in it's irritating reaction. Indians may know nothing about the beauties of Homer, Virgil and Ella Wheeler Wilcox, but they were not sufficiently verdant to sell Indian corn for one-half cent per pound and buy the same article back in the shape of corn starch, for twenty five cents per pound, for they could make bet ter article at home.

I think not even country justice of peace would do that.
 believe l am accused of the terri ble crime of not dressing in the latest Parisian style but rather more after the style of Jesus Christ, his disciples and apostles. Or perhaps I am held for identification, or rather as I should put it, for exhibition. For, is it pos sible that any one except 8 drunken deputy would take me for criminal2 Does thief with his poodle carry 8 lantern when trying to elude the Pink. ertons? Does an assassin wave aloft the star spangled banner when crawl ing upon his intended victim? Would I bear the red (blanke) white (tarpau. lin) and blue (bag) if I was making raid for scalps and plumber? No, if so, I would just wear little old common greasy suit of clothes just like deputy generally wears.
 Of all the opinions passed upon me, nine-ten,hs have been unfavorable. That only shows the natural deprayity of the human heart. I am thankful however that you have not taken me for detective or some other sleuth hound of the law.
