A WaterIesS Trail.
A Story of the Desert Between Car
 go iIuchaChO and PiCaChO.


 A miner came into this office few days ago and after seating mselfremarked, This looks pret- ty, good after what I've been through"
 In answer to inquirer he told a story of privation on the desert which Is common in the southwest.
 Several weeks ago himself and another miner were at Carg Mou- chacho. Failing to get employ ment at that camp they concluded to go to Picacho which from the information they recieved they supposed to be about 15 miles dis tant. Their packs and canteens were adjusted and they started one morning, expecting to reach Pica- cho before the greatest heat of the day. The distance is much great CT than they supposed and there is not drop of water on the road.
 The forenoon wore away and the two men trudged steadily on, mak- ing frequent drafts on their can teens. At noon they were appar- ently as far as eyer away from Pi- cacho.' The men thought surely a couple of hours more would bring them to their journeys end, A little water yet remained in their canteens.
 The day proved to be one of the hottest of the season. There was not a breath of air stirring, nor bush or boulder to give a few moments respite from the heat. Nothing but heat and glare and that radiation which makes distant objects take on such fantastic shapes. Still the men toiled on over the waterless trail, hoping at least to reach camp before their strength failed utterly. All the water was gone, and they feared to speak to each other because the heat would still further parch their 
 The sun at last sunk and heat Still that abrupt peak to- ward which they had been walking seemed no nearer. The shorter man man of the two gave out but for tunately did not lose his senses. Lying down by the side of the trail he told his partner to go and he would stay there until help came. The stronger man kept on five miles more until he reached Tom Parks camp, late at night. Park at once started out two of his men with burros, who brought tEe exhausted man in. The came very near missing him, as they got off the trail in the darkness, but he had strength left to make them hear.
 Events like the above are not unusual in the life of the prospec- tor in the desert mining districts Yuma Times.

Held up a Train.
Rough Times on the Sunset
 Route.
Tho EaSt-BOund Express Stopped
 near MaricOpa.
Clever Capture of of the Robbers,
Frank Armer Wounded and in Jail.

Train 19, the regular east bound express on the Southern Pacific, was held up Sunday night east of Maricopa station, where connection is made with the local train for 1 Phenix.
 The express left Maricopa on time shortly after midnight. As it pulled by the water tank, the head brake man saw two men jump aboard the forward platform of the mail car, and went forwardto dis lodge them. The men proved to be heavily armed and easily took him in without resistance One of the men, a tall and burly fellow, ap- f,eared to be somwhat under the in IIluence of liquor. The other, d smo oth faced young man,apparently not over twenty years ol age climbed over the coal on the tender and GOV ering Engineer Holiday and the fire man took charge of the train.
 The tram was allowed to proceed for short distance till a light was seen down the track, when the engi ileer was commanded to bring the s'rain to a halt. When he did so ,he robbers were joined by mask ed confederate.
 ! The engine was the unlocked and rlm forward a few hundred feet, and engineer, fireman and breake- man were orderedback 10 the express ear and were instructed to inform the messenger ofthe situation. The messenger, Geor MitchalI, seeing the uselessness Of resistance, open ed the door. and the lad was sent into the car, the others keeping guard outside.
 As the combinaiin to the throu 5h treasure safe was unknown to the messenger, only the contents of the small way box were secured, ill value it is understood, of note eX- ceeding one hundred dollars.
 The messengers gold watch was taken and small amount of cash, but otherwise nosindividuals were molested, no other car being enter ed. Conductor James Martin and such passengers as appeared on the platforms were menaced with rifles and roughly ordered back in side.
 Occasionally one of the men would fire shot along the length of the train, apparently to lntimi- date the passengers and to prevent the interference of any of them. No one seemed 10 care to brave the robbers. however, and the operation proceeded undisturbed.
 The whole episode did not occupy over fifteen minutes. When the robbers had secured all they could from the express ar,they Eerded up the train men, marched them down the track a few. hundred feet and then let them go. The rlo l-agt nts were seem to mount horses that had been tied conveniently in the brush near by, and to ride off in southerly direction.
 The tram was then re. connected and backed to Maricopa, where or ders from division headQuarte at Tucson again sent It olI eastward.
 At Casa Grahde, thirty miles east of Maricopa, d posse was made up before daylight and sent off to follow on the trail. The posse has not yet been heard from, but by the light of later developements. it was all probability entirely unsuccess-i full.-Dailv Gazette.

(For The Press.) ACROSS THE CONTINENT.

Sacramento, Cal, Oct. 4, 1894.
 It would be difficult to conceive of a more delightful journey than trans continental trip, crossing the Rocky Moun- tains by the Denver and Rio Grande rail- road. The country east of the mountains is too well known to dwell upon now, though nature during the early part of June is at her loveliest. Excepting the ride to Chicago, the weather was delight fully cool.
 Throughout the entire distance pros porous villages and thoroughly cultivated farms lay beside the iron road. The most prosperous section of farming land thro' which we passed, the state where the corn grew the highest and the vegetables the most luxuriantly, was Missouri. Were I looking for section in which to pursue agriculture between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi river, yes, or the Atlantic ocean, where nature seems to have done the most for the farmer, I should go to this state. But the entire distance from Chicago to Denver was through large gardens, immense fields of grain, or across vast prairies, where sky and earth seem to meet, forming gigantic circle, of which our train was the center.
 The pleasure of this ride was greatly enhanced by the fact that our special train was filled with physicians and their fam. flies, many of whom were our personal friends, in route for the American Insti. tute meeting at Denver. The morning we were to reach Denver our party was up with the sun, anxious to catch the first 1 glimpse of the far famed Rockies. But no, nothing but prairie in sight. We rush on, mile after mile, occasionally passing ''shack" or shanty or a small bunch o1 horses. We try to take in everything about us, but still are expectantly look ing ahead. This continues for some time, when the porter comes along, and point ing to the southwest sings out, "There's Pike's Peak" A rush follows this an-

nOuncement. For a moment we see nOth- ing, but soon catch sight of what appears to be a small cirro-celulus cloud about twenty miles to our left. As we gaze at it a base gradually appears, until finally a large ice berg bursts into view. I can liken it to nothing else. Clear, distinct, isolated, it rises precipitiously from the ocean around it. "Porter, how far is that peak from us ?' "Ninety miles, mister" Whew! Glancing down we see a prairie dog village, apparently few rods away, and wonder how many miles distant it really is. The base is at times a little undistinct, but it's upper portion is cleal- ly outlined against the sky.
 Meanwhile the train is rushing madly on, we alternately watching the Peak and straining our eyes to see the ranges. We arerewarded. The Rocky Mountains come into view as abruptly as did Pike's Peak, and more completely surprised I never was. Instead of gradually attaining their highest points, like the White Mountains of New Hampshire, hill by hill and moun- tain by mountain, they appear to rise di- rectly from the plain. They give the ob- server the impression of an immense ridge rising abruptly thousands of feet above a level surface, and extending north and south as far as the eye can reach. The impression made by that first view of the range will never be effaced from my mem- ory. While life lasts that will remain.
 Eight days in Denver gave opportunity 'to do" the city, as well as the institute meetings. Denver Is one of the most beautiful cities in the entire west, has a population of over one hundred thousand, is solidly built, well paved, and is doubt less destined to be large city. The hard times have struck Denver with an espec- ial force, the recent silver legislation re- ceiving large share of the blame. The gold output is to quite large extent re- lieving the distress, but it will be some time before it fully recovers its old status. The people are wide awake, energetic progressive and aggressive. They don't wait for something to turn up, they turn it up. And let me say word right here to any young man who may be thinking of coming out west and taking the coun. try by storm. If they think the west is all wild and woolly, ali boots and spurs, sombreros and revolvers; if they imagine that "from the east" will serve for a pass word to bank presidency or lofty seat on the pinnacle of fame, or even high so- cial recognition, they will be sadly mis- l taken. Let him come who may, he will
