SUES FOR TWO MILLIONS Great Legal Contest at Santa Cruz. The Catholic Church Is Mixed
 in 1t. Insanity of a TeStator Is Charge d Over Long Term of
 Years.

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, Dec. 13.-The biggest suit ever known in this county was commenced today in the superior court. It involves the possession of over 36 900 acres of Hand and more than 600 persons are made defendants. The value of the land is estimated at 3D. 00O,0O0.
 The Sequel, San Andreas and Sequel Augmentation ranches are sought to be recovered by the heirs of Martina Castro Despaux. The land is located at Capitola, Sequel, Highland and Wrights and extends into Santa Clara county On the land are churches, school houses, railroads, wharves and big ranches, some of which have been in possession of the present owners over thirty years.
 The litigation began today when Elizabeth Peck, daughter of Mrs. Des- paux, was appointed administrative of the latter's estate.
 The land was granted Mrs. Despaux by the Mexican government. In 1850 she made an agreement with her chil- dren to let them have possession of the land if they would pay the taxes and keep squatters off. The agreement was in force until 1855, when she gave an absolute deed to the ranches to Archbishop Alemany and Fathers In- golshe and LeaVares.
 The ground of action to dispose of the present holders of the land will be that Mrs. Despaux was insane and the agreement with the children and the absolute deed were null and void Therefore it follows all subsequent deeds are of no force.
 The plaintiff claims she can prove her grandmother was insane as early as 1S47

NEW ARRIVALS.
Interested in Phoenix and the Salt
 River Valley

River Valley.
 J. A. Kilroy, of the New Palestine advertising and real esta e agency, is in receipt of letters from Chillicotihe, Missouri, that a pork-packer of that city has under considera jon the re- moval of his plant, with a capacity, if necessary, for Lhe handling of 800 hogs per week, to Phoenix. He will also bring a large ice plant. The cores pondence was quite lengthy, bearing on what number of hogs could be Sc. cured per week, etc. Inquiries have been received from Manitoba farmers, comprising some of the very best English and Scotch) in Canada, who, several years ago, went to that prov ince from Ontario, but are now seek ing a milder climate and are thor oughly interested with the written re- ports as written in the New Palestine pamphlet. MT. Kilroy expressed the opinion that delegation from that territory would soon visit Phoenix and he felt satisfied as to the result.
 In relation to Rev. Dr. Wild of Can ada, now in the city, MT KiIroy told '.he following story about h:s great popularity: Some two years ago, the Toronto Mail, which occupies for the Conservative tor Tory) party in Can ada, the same position as the Chicago Inter Ocean does for the Republican party in the weS, ern states, gave a prize in the shape of a first-class ocean passage, round trip, to Europe, for the most popular divine in Canada-and r ght here leE me say it was a farce bat ile. Coupons were cut from the paper as is the custom, and voted. How ever, as the time named drew near. Ell but six of the divines withdrew, leav- ing the following well-known and d S. tlnguished men in the race: Rev. Dr. Dunnell, Presbyterian; Rev. Dr. Bald win, Episcopalian; Rev. Dr. Thomas Baptist; Rev. Dr. Hunter, Methodist Very Rev. Archbishop Walsh, Roman Catholic; Rev, Dr. J. Wild, Congre- gal ionalist The final day arriv ng the votes were counted and our pres. ent, guest, Rev. Dr. Wild, led the high. est by something over 23,O0O votes. The Rev. Dr. said that he was de lighted with Phoenix and over his sig. nature gave MT. Kilroy a letter on Eht valley, which will appear in the Eng. fish, French and German additions o1 the New Palestine.
 He said, If the people (espec ally ht wealthy) knew properly about h S val Icy it would soon be filed. Again Were I a young man and could leotur; as of old, I would tell H-s beauties ant climate to thousands That Phce7i, has powerful and true friend in tn doctor is certain

WORRYING THE INDIANS. A Pima Lads Many Mis-
 deeds. Perplexities of the Peaceful
 TribeSmen.
Tribal Law May Dispose of a Troublesome Indian
 Malet actor.

There is trouble among the Indians at the lower Gila crossing, fourteen miles south of Phoenix. It's not an Indian outbreak, by any means, for those sort of things never come anigh the suburbs of Arzonas capital. It's only a psychological problem that lhe untutored Pima is pondering over and as yet sees no way to a solution.
 The trouble is all over Bo-Sante, called Horace Anton at the Sacaton agency.
 Yesterday Phoenix was invaded by a score of Indians. No alarm need be felt, for they were as peaceful as a band of modern prizefghters.
 But they were not half as talkative. They squatted on the ground in front of the court house till Republican re- porter grew inquisitive, and to him their tale was told by copper-huei youth from the Indian school. Be- Sante, the hero of the tale, was indi- cated in the crowd. He is about F years old, fairly we'll fed ard very evi- dent.y of feeble mind. He and sec ond Indian youth, K-is-to, were ac- cused of robbery, the to-mec of a horse saddle and bride, the latter of a bridle and saddle. The party was referred to a deputy sheriff, and soon, on a commitment by Justice Mor- ris, the two Indians accused were locked up in the couLl y jail.
 This is Bo-Sante's sec0Id appear ance in jail, though the Indians aver his crimes are many. He was arrested last summer for horse steal'rg. After three or four months n I.he county jail he was deemed sufficiently pun isihed and on motion of the district eI.- torney was sentenced to only ten days in the county jail, the offense being reduced to petty larceny. Thursday he WAS again at his old tricks, and made away with a pony belonging 10 Papago. He was pursued and soon captured by Indian policeman No. 8. whose sto.id face and bufly figure wGll would grace the. Broadway squad"
 Only through "No. S." it is believed, has the young Indian e5care1 the ven geance of his tribesmen. They are willing that he shall go to prison, but if he be sent back to the reservation tribal law will surely be Invoked. This simply means he will be clubbed to death.
 Bo-Sante, despite his immatggGf:;ty, inherited considerable wealth for a Pima Indian. He had a wicAiup, though no wife, and @ little patch of land on which in season he raised grain, corn and pumpkins. At h,s last escapade his neighbors, Tn pursuance of the provisions of some other section of iheir MeGo-Persian sta utes, gath cred at his farm, destroyed his crop, razed his domicile to the earth ard burned the debris, thus, it s presumed officially outlawing the malefacaor who had brought disgrace upon the peace ful tribe.
 But Bo-Sante, however much he may appreciate IJhe luxury of prison fare and the lack of necessity for labor, persists in refusing to be outlawe1 and persists in making trouble on his re turn. When next he returns an In- dian court will surely settle the matter in short order.

A GREAT PLANT.
One Branch of Which is Within Easy
 Reach of Arizona.

To all mining men there is no name more familiar or more favorably known than that of the Consolida ed Kansas City Smelling and Refining company. This company whose large advertise men't may be found on the eli,ori ial page of The Republican, has three great smelters located al. Argentine, Kan, Leadville, Colo, and Fl Faso. Texas.
 The following interest 'ng 1 ems will give readers some idea of the magni- Jude Of the business of this company:
 Ore purchased and sme.ted fer the year ending June 30, 1895: At Areen tine, Kansas, 23,719 tons of ore: s,. Leadville, Colo, 1O6,2OO tons; at Ell Paso, 92,S36; total tons smelted, 222.- 755 tons.
 From this tonnage of ore were pro- duced the following refined meaa.s. which were all refined at the rafneries loca,ed in Argentine: Gold, 111.723 ounces; silver, 9,SS1 ,160 ounces; lead 6O,S92,O4O pounds; copper ingots, 2,272,- 776 pounds.
 The company has ore purchasing agencies in Leadvi,le, Denver, Cripple Creek, Salt Lake, Spokane Falls, and has travelling agents who cover all the territory of Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Washing gton, British Columbia, New Mexico and Arizona. The com pany purchases all classes of ere for its smelting works and all classes of products from smelters and mills for it's refneries; such products as base bullion, copper mates, silver and gold bars and the products of cyanide mills. This is probably the most ex- tensive business of the kind in the United States. The business has grown very rapidly in the past few years and it's interests have been ex- ] tended to every state and territory ot the west.
 The officers of this company are al men widely known throughout the mining region of the vet and all ot them bear the best of regulations fol honesty and fair dealing with patrons whether they be rich or poor MT. c B. Finney, material agent for the com pany, is man of much experience il this business and of whom minins men generally speak highly.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 13.-4Thomas G. Merrill, chairman of the finance con- mittee of the National Bimetallic union, referring to the president s message today said:
 The recommendation of Nhe presi- dent to retire greenbacks would be disastrous to the silver interest. The retiring of currency issued under the Sherman act, which has been the means used for recent heavy with drawals of gold from the treasury, would mean that the bullion in the treasury would be thrown upon the market, causing a decided decline in the price of silver"

Nothing But Ruin.

With cotton at five cents and the
price dropping, Southern planters are
in state of bewilderment and con-
sternation. Bankruptcy and impov-
erishment stare them in the face if the
present rate, which they assert is be-
low the cost Of production, be main
tanned. In like manner the wheat
producer sees ruin confronting him in
the continuance of low prices for
grain. The Southern planter and the
Western farmer, the two agents who
were largely instrumental in ordering
in 1892 reversal in industrial and
protective policies of the Nation, are
now suffering directly from the evils
of underconsumption. Manufacture
ing interests were the first to feel the
effects of business uncertainty and the
losses of wage earners. The great ag-
ricultural producers, South and
West. are now learning to their cost
that the marked decline in the pur-
chasing power of a prosperous Nation
reacts necessarily upon cotton plant
ers and wheat farmers.
If cheapness of food and clothing
were the main factor of National pros
perity, Americans would now have
full cause for gratitude to Democratic
tariff meddlers. But when flour is
low. and cotton sells below the cost of
production, and every other commod-
ity is cheap because tho supply runs
far beyand the demand, they need not
be thankful. The practical expert
ence of the last two years has taught
Americans that, whatever may be the
truth about free trade or the protec-
tive policy, nothing can take the place
of National prosperity under which
all classes of the population are en-
ployed at good wages and eli indus
tries are in full, unimpeded operation.
Those are the conditions which devel-
op the purchasing power of every con-
sumer and make the American market
the main safeguard against overpro-
duction at home and abroad.

Less Roads Under Free Trade.

The Railroad Gazette gives the fol.
lowing account of the extensions OF
our railroad system in 1894:
Railroad building in this country
would certainly appear to have reached
it's lowest ebb, when the total new
mileage built in one Eyear amounts to
only 1761 miles. That is all the new
railroad that has been built in the
United States in 1894. That figure is
lower than any that has been reached
since 1875, when the net increase for
the year was 100 miles, the amount
built being somewhat greater. The
new mileage reported for 1894 is ap-
parently the smallest actual amount of
new railroad built in any year since
the Civil War, and it is much the
smallest percentage Of increase. TAX
ing Poor's figures of the amount of
railroad built at the end of 1893 (177,-
1853 miles), the railroad constructed in
1894 has added less than one per cent.
to that total.
