Two French sailors left Ensenada Lower California, to tramp across the country to Vera Cruz, where they intended shipping for their na- tive country. On reaching Hermo- sillo they were warned of the risk they run in attempting to cross the Yaqui country, and were told that the Indians meyer permitted white man to cross their reservation. The sailors disregarded the advice, and had scarcely entered the forbidden territory before they were ordered to retrace their steps. They refused and the Indians captured them, taking them to their rendezvous in the mountains, from which place through friendly half-breed the prisoners sent word back to their friends of their situation. No at tempt will be made to rescue them, as it would be unsuccessful and re- suit in bloodshed.

We clip the following from the Yuma Times: Two well-known prospectors, John w. Baker and Conrad Davis of Clifton left Yuma May 25th. They struck northwest ward until they reached the old stage road, which they followed. Nothing further was heard from them until Baker came back last week alone. His story was that Davis had perished on the desert near Mule Springs, 30 miles west of Ehrenburg, while crossing a range of sand hills. Davis was an old friend of Pete Gabriel, who ques- toned Baker closely, having had his suspicious aroused as to the possibility of foul play. Davis hung around Gabriel all that day and stayed with him at night, apparent ly with the idea of giving him no chance to talk with anybody. The next day Baker disappeared and has not been seen since. There are several weak pointsin Bakers story. There are no sand hills in the place where he said Davis was lost. Ba- ker also had money when he came back, which he was known not to have when he lett, as all the ex- penses of the trip were paid by Da- wis. It is the opinion of Pete Ga briel and other prospectors that Davis was murdered for his money and his body left on the desert. On being asked why he had not search ed for Davis. Baker said he was out of water. It is known that there IS water within a few miles of where Davis is said to have been lost. In the absence of positive proof, all appearances go to indicate that an other tragedy has been added to the long catalogue whose secrets are locked in the recesses of the desert. Old prospectors are satisfied that murder has been committed. Per- haps time will unfold the truth.

THE notorious California bandits who bid defiance to the civil author ities for so long a time, Sontag and Evans, have at last been captured and are now lyingin jail at Fresno. They made determined fight, and were not arrested until both were wounded-Sontag, it is feared, fa- tally, while Evans wounds are pain full though not supposed to be se- rious. These men have had ample time and opportunity to have made good their escape, and that they did not do so, shows one of two things. They either over-estimated their strength, or under-estimated that of the officials.

The through lines were both assessed in accord ance with the way they were in oth- CT states through which they pass. The Board has done good work,

WE trust the Gallup Cleaner may
 be correct in its conclusions in the
 following: The Hillsboro Advocate recently had an article concerning the extension of the Denver and
 Rio Grande from Santa Fe to Dem. ing. This may all be so, but the railroad editor of The Cleaner is in- formed different. The Denver and
 Rio Grande will, when the Pecos road is built up to the Santa Fe's line, connect with it, thus giving an outlet into Texas and the Gulf. When the Denver and Rio Grande gets ready to take in Deming, it will be by the extension of it's line from Durango via Gallup, and connect at Deming with the Deming- Mexico road. The Rio Grande will con- struct this line for another reason also, that of connecting at Gallup with the Atlantic and Pacific and with the San Diego and Phenix road now preparing to build and which will come up from Phenix via

Stoned to Death.

Marcelino Vigil and three com panions, Desideiio Gallegos. Lute- rio Padilla and Emiterio Garcia, four young men. were out, on a drunken, boyish spree Monday eve- ming at Santa Fe, and Tuesday morning the dead body of Vigil WI g found, having been beaten to death with stones. The head was crushed almost beyond recognition, and the lower half of the body was com pletely nude. Two pools of blood near by, one a small one, where, evidently, the first assault with stones had been made, and second one ten feet away where the brutes, who stoned him to death, had fin ished the job. The three mention ed above were arrested and jailed as the suspected parties, and several we'll known gentlemen have already stated that the quartet were togeth- CT, drinking and quarreling. Pedro Martinez, twelve year old boy, was near at the time of the tragedy, and his testimony. which was taken be- fore the coroner's inquest in the af ternoon, is the most important. He saw them quarreling and heard them, in their drunken frenzy, utter oaths and so demean themselves as to frighten him and he ran away. He recognized Gallegos and Padilla before the coroner's jury. Vigil was nineteen years of age, and was noted for his behavior and sobriety. He was never known to have been in toxicated until Monday evening, and his first drunk was his last, which ended in his tragic death.- Alb. Citizen.

A Phenix dispatch of the 18th inst. says John Timmis of this city is a very pious widower, who has had a call to the ministry and ex- horts the ungodly from street cor ners. Sunday morning he went with a number of brethren to preach the gospel at the county hospital. He left a seven-year old boy at home and as measure of security and a punishment for petty misdeeds, chained him around the ankle with a short dog chain and tied him to a post without even hat for a cover ing from the fierce June rays of an Arizona sun. The boy was discov- cred by neighbors about noon and released by filing the chain. It also developed that the lad had been cruelty beaten, and that his father had a few days before corrected him by thrusting his hand in boiling pot of coffee. Starvation was also an ever present condition. Such a crime is only a misdemeanor in Arizona, and Timmis was given the limit of the law, six months in the county jail. The boy cannot be found and it is feared he has been foully dealt with.

THE Las Vegas Stock Grower re- comments that the people of Colo rado, New Mexico, and Texas should get together and petition
 congress to make surveys to
 find the most feasible points, and then make appropriations for the construction of proper system of reservoirs and canals to reclaim the vast area that at present lie unoc- cupied and unclaimed along the borders of the Rio Grande. The Stock Grower thinks it would be a good time when the Silver conven- ton meets at Silver City to have a general meeting of the people of these states, and see what means could be employed to bring this most vital question before congress

Another rich gold strike is re- ported, this time in the Snow Flake mine, about forty miles south of Prescott, near the Crowned King, Messrs. E. l.. Gobin and w. w. Van derbilt being the lucky owners. A force of men had been running a tunnel to tap the vein, which tun- nel had been pushed 207 feet and had attained a depth of 240 feet. Having tapped the vein, drift was run on a small streak of ore for about fifteen feet, when Mr. Goblin had shot put in the hanging wall, which disclosed an ore chute which proved to be four feet in width. This ore, upon being horned, was found to be so rich that at first the gold in the horn-spoon, which strung out for three inches behind the pulp was thought to be sulphurets. The exact value of the ore is not yet known, but it certainly runs into hundreds. The vein is six feet be- tween the walls, and the mine is ex- ceptionally we'll located for cheap working, as the hill is so steep that 600 feet depth can be obtained by Q 400-foot tunnel. Machinery and mill will soon be put in.-Courier.

TIE Army and Navy Register says: "The commanding officers of army posts who were requested by Secretary Lamont to report list of officers from which officers could be selected suitable for service as Indian agents, have, ir several in- stances complied with the request, It is understood that the willing ness of officers to take such detail was inquired into and quite suffi- cient number were found ready to undertake the service, but that the general sentiment of the army was strongly against it unless the whole Indian business Is transferred to the war department. To be detail ed into the service of the Indian bureau of the Interior Department is quite different thing from per forming army duty under the direc- ton of higher army authority. In some cases where willingness to serve as Indian agents was express ed by officers the post commanders was not willing to recommend such officer as 'suitable.'" The post com mander who recommended Lieut. Arthur Johnson, sub agent at Fort Apache, made the greatest mistake of his life, unless it was to be rid of him,-Ed

new YORK, July AR. G. Dun X
Co.'S weekly review Of trade Will TO-
morrow say:
There is a somewhat better tone in
business because money markets are
little less stringent. But it cannot be
said as vet that there is any distinct
improvements. In every direction un-
usual conservatism prevails, orders are
relatively small, the volume OF business
is restricted and awaiting policy rules.
At Pittsburg no drop is seen In iron,
though trade is very dull, the glass
trade is in fair condition and the coal
business dull.
At Cleveland trade is good in grocer
les, but otherwise pull, collections are
slow and money close.
Uusold stocks Of pig iron have de-
creased 10000 tons, but the markets
are dull aud concessions common. Re
duction of prices in many wooden goods
has not brought out large orders, and 1t
is believed that most OF the mills Will
be employed only part OF the time for
the rest Of the year. Sales OF wool are
not quite two-thlrds OF last years with
prices iavOring buyers.
The exports of products are light Tor
two weeks at New York, being only
SI3, sI2,GlO, against Sl5,970,759, last
year.
The failures during the past week
have not diminished in number, being
374 In the United States, against loS
last year for the same week.
