Hisdfrectod Ingenuity.

A man named Simmons was arrested
yesterday upon charge OF raising two
dollar bill to a twenty. The change
was effected by the use of acids and was
quite neatly made upon one side OF the
bill. The other side. however, was rath-
er rough and unfinished, and It was
through carelessness OF the manipulation
that the fraud was detected. The man
had q hearing before Commissioner
Chalmers, who took the case under ad-
visemeut, and pending his decision the
prisoner remains in Jail.
Simmons claims that he is not the
man who attempted to advance the val
ue Of the bill, but that be was an inno-
cent possessor of the same, having given
change for il to q we'll dressed stranger
who sought that favor from him. Sub
sequent circumstances, however, lead to
the conclusion that Simmons had drawn
on his Imagination for the story. He
went to the free and easy portion OF the
city and attempted to pass the bill up
on one Of the guilelees Japanese women
resident there. She, however, did not
possess sufficient change. He then went
to a saloen, bought glass OF beer and
offered the bill in payment. In present
ing the bill be cerelessly exposed the
unfinished side, and this led to his de-
lection. A search after his arrest re-
vealed another two dollar bill in his poe
session. and this, taken in connection
with the foregoing circumstances, would
sustain the conclusion that another raiee
was intended.

now it is reported that thought can be

to know that the emptiness of your wal

Why should there be display OF the

duc-evidently an unpleasant person

that he has succeeded in photographing

whose thought is to be photographed
enters q dark room, places his hand on
a Photographic plate and thinks intently
of the object the image Of which he
wishes to see produced. Some of the

distinct, representing the features of
persons and the outlines OF things. And

Attemnted Safe Cracking.

The Phoenix Herald says that ''when
Mrs. L. j. Wood, tbs deputy assessor
and tax collector o; that city, went to
open the safe in her Office yesterday
morning, her hands became solled with
what appeared to be grease or some oily
substance. She called attention to it
and on examination it was discovered
to be nitro glycsrine. The stuff had
been inserted, according to Joe Porterie,
so the Herald is Informed, by means OF
minute syringe into the crevices OF the
door, as left when it is closed. 1t seems,
though, through some defect, either in
the mbustlble or the csp used to start
the explosion, the charge did not go oil,
and thus the burglar or burglars failed
in robbing the city treasury or whatever
funds might have been on hand. The
city marshal and deputies have been
fearful OF something OF this kind for
some time, as there have been notable
strangers in the city, whose actions de-
noted the professional crook. Mayor
Monihon and others have had the same
gentry under suspicion; hence when
thIs attempt at skIllful burglary was
made known their suspicious at once
were, they believe, confirmed. The ex-
pert burglar is en- element OF higher CIV
ilIzation that we can very we'll get Giong
without. and if such are in our midst
and are caught at work in their calling,
Justice, ewift and sure, should De meted
out to them."

Valuable Copper Claims.

Development work on the Black
Copper group, under bond to Col. j. A.
Fleming and DR.. j. M. Ford, Of Phoenix,
is progressing satisfactorily under the
direction of W. W. Hill. The principal
work thus far has been the sinking OF
shaft on the Black Copper claim, which
is down 100 feet, and in ore nearly all
the way. At depth OF 75 feet the
ledge was cross-cut 6 feet and drill
driven in feet further, without reach
ing the wall, all in ore assaying over
10 per cent copper, and without
particle OF waste. At 1OO feet Cross
cut is being run and the ore is, il any
thing, better than at rs feet, and snow
ing an increase Of iron and come lime.
OF the group of fifteen claims, six
are located on this ledge, which is 30
feet wide in places and is readily traced
for distance of more than two miles
Some work has also been done on the
Montgomery and other claims on the
ledge and the showing is equally good.
There are immense quantities OF ore
near the surface, going from to 10 per
cent, suitable for teaching. The ore is
changing with depth, and provided 1t
carries sn adequate percentage OF iron.
es now seems probable, the richer ores
can be smelted to advantage. The
ledge has been sufficiently prospected
to juetify the belief that when opened
it will prove one Of the largest and rich
eet copper mines in Globe district, il
not in the entire southwest.

MORMONS IN MEXICO.
From u. S. Consul Louis M. BufOrd's
Report.

xscPoIl-
The Mormons have ten colonies in
northern Mexico. Nine o: them are III
the state Of chihuahua and one is
situated in the stale of Sonora.
In the lower valleys, tne colonists
raise cattle, fruit and grain; and in the
mountains they attend to general farm
ing, growing vegetables and grain and
raising sheep.
They are likewise largely engaged in
the lumber trade, running four steam
saw mile, besides doing a great deal of
tanning, shoe aud harness making can
ming and drying fruit, and msnufactur-
ing furniture, tInwRTe and candy.
Their merchants, aside from the trade
with their own people, do considerable
business with the Mexicans, who flock
to the Mormon stores from all directions
coming with their pack trains and their
mule and OK teams FROM hundreds OF
miles TO lay in provisions and other
supplies.
One store at Colonia, Juarez, during
the past year, did over $50, 600 worth OF
trade.
Many of the Mormon colonies are
engaged in buying and selling Chihua-
hus and Sonora cattle, and one Of their
firms handled about 100000 worth of
live stock last year.
The principal markets for their pro-
duce are at present the mines of Cor
ralitas and Sabinsl For their milk
cows, canned goods, etc, they find ready
sale IN the city of chihuahua.
The holdings of the Mormon colonists
are in the finest portions of northern
Mexico. The soil ia very rich and pro-
ductive, and with the advent of railroads
must become greatly enhanced in value.
At present they are from 135 to 200
miles from any railwsy.-Prospector.

THE IMPROVEMENT IN SUGAR.

During the pact few dsye there nae
been a very decided improvement IN the
value of sugar. Prior to that time the
greatest depression prevailed IN the su-
oar markets ell over the world, due TO
recommendation aud the consequent IL
ouidation in Europe. This process has
aoout been gone through with and the
facts of supply and demand are again
reasserting their influence.
Although the refners have, one way
and another, supplied thus far the va
cuum created by the loss OF the Cuban
crop. that deficiency is yet to be reck-
oned with, and Europe Is now being
drawn upon to meet the requirements
which the various cane producing coun-
tries can no longer furnish. This dram
upon the beet sugar supplies of Europe
ought to cause, from now on, more
rapid falling off in the stocks held there
than has heretofore occurred.
The prospects Tor the next Cuban
crop are even now more gloomy than
they were prior to the last campaign In
that island. The insurrection is appar-
emily as far from an end as ever, ana
the insurgents are in q position TO stop
sugar planting even more ehectually
than they were a year ago. It Is the
Cuban crop more than any osher tnst
competes directly with the Louisiana
yield, hence the absence OF a Cuban
crop next season will stimulate the de-
mend for the coming crop OF this state.

Canaigre at ths ARIZONA Station.

Canaigre at ths Arizona Station.
All the work thus far done at the
Arizona Agricultural Experiment Sta
tien, located st Tucson, has led Profess
sor Forbes, the Chemist of the station,
to deduct the following conclusions re-
specting this important industry, as set
forth in Bulletin No. 2l Of this Station,
just issued:
81. Csnaigre is best adapted to q
mild, dry, sunny winter climate OF the
southwest. Although 10 will endure
frost, and will grow in rainy regions. it
does not promise good results in these
| uncongenial situations.
2. Csnaigre roots and leaves are
damaged to some extent by insects, but
the plant is not known to be seriously
threatened by them.
8. Canaigre tanning materials are
found throughout the plant, being in
greatest quantity in the central portions
of the roots.
4. The tanning materials form rapid
| ly during the first year of growth. show
| ing small percentage ofincrease sfier
| the first year, and as the root retains it's
| vitality.
D. During the dormant summer per-
iod of the plant, the tanning materials
| seem slightly to increase In young roots.
Sprouting does not affect the quantity
of tanning materials. The evidence
| thus far does not show that irrigation
lessons the percentage OF tanning ms
/ terisls.
6. Heat, alr and fermentation, acting
on either roots or extracts, all destroy
| canaigre tanning materials.
7. The red and yellow coloring mat.
ters of cGnaigre affect the quality Of
leather produced. The red matters are
less desirable and are formed chiefly in
the wild crop. They are not present in
quantity in cultivated roots. This fact
is considered an improvement in the
quality of the root for tanning pLr-
poses.
| 8. The sugar contained in canslgre
gives roots and extracts their "plump-
ing" qualities. If properly managed il
is valuable factor in the production OF
heavy feathers.
| 9. Cansi9re bagesse, properly pre-
pared, should be about equal 10 mesquite
wood in fuel value. When well rotted
rs ought also to have considerable value
as a fertilizer. 1t promises little as a
stock food.
| 10. Canaigre draws heavily upon
the soil, especially for nitrogen. Its
total drain is about twice as costly az
that of sugar beets.
| IL. The utility of csnaigre is demon
strated. Properly handled it produces
an unusual variety of feathers Of excel
J lent quality.
II. The agriculture Of cansigre il
yet in its experimental stage. A fsil
estimate shows that it will be necessary
to produce an annual crop OF about
seven tons, or bien NAL crop or abou
thirteen tons an acre in order to equa
. the profits of sugar beet culture. Or
present evidence this yield seems highly
probable, but, so far as known, has mol
J yet been demonstrated"

THE Bark ROBBERS.
Deputy Sheriff Doyle Has Returned
From the Chase.

Deputy Sheriff Doyle returned last
night on the train from San Simon. He
left here with Sheriff Leatherwood and
went to NoRales, upon receips OF the
city. From Noaales they went to Bis
bee and together with five others whom
they met at the latter place started out
in search Of the robbers trial. The
party was com posed of Sherffs Fly and
Leathsrwood, Deputies Doyle and john
son, Line Rider Robinson and Messrs.
Alvord and Herbert. About twelve or
fourteen miles south of Blsbee the posse
struck the trial, which they followed
across the Sulphur Spring valley thence
through the Swishelm mountains, the
Chiricahuss, San Simmou valley and
into the Skeleton mountains. The first
sight of TIE robbers they got was on
Wednesday about noon in the foothills
of the Ske Teton mountains, where Sher-
if LeRtherwcod saw one of them. The
party immediately gave chase. As soon
as the robbsr discovered his pursuers
be put st urs to his borse and rode rap
idly into the bills. Deputy Doyle, with
the intention OF intercepting him as be
rounded the point, rode upon the
side of the hill, which was covered
with loose rocks. In scrambling over
these bis saddle turned and his horse
bucked him off. His knee wss badly
hurt and his gun broken until it was
worthless. His companions came to his
rescue, helped him on his horse, and
directed him to 20 to San Simon with
dispatches for officers at Dsming, the
robbers apparently having taken that
direction.
This morning the following telegram
appeared in the Star:
BENSON, Ariz.. Aug 14-Word has just
been received here from Sheriff Leath-
wood and posse pursuing the Nogsles
bank robbers. The outlaws were over

perate battle took place in which Frank
Robinson OF Mesa City, a U. s.. line
rider, wns ehot and killed. The bandits
made good their escape and the sheriff
and posse are returning with Robinson

The pursuit was abandoned owing to
the fact that the robbers have the ad-
vantage in numbers and being cowboys.
understand the country and can get
fresh horses without difficulty. The
horses they abandon are in better co.,
dition than the hard-ridden ones Of the
posse"
Deputy Doyle says this fight muss
have occurred shortly after he LETT the
party on Wednesday afternoon. The
robbers were we'll armed With plenty of
ammunition. They carried Wincheeters
and six shooters. They rode fresh
horses all the time, picking up range
horses as they went along, whenever
their own became jaded.

Tucson is Visited by Two Troops of
the Custer Avengers
Last Saturday evening the trumpet
sounded skirmish calls in our streets
and the city witnessed the arrival of
Troop "E," 7th U. 8. Cavalry, under
command of Lieut. Bullock. There
we're thirty six soldiers and ten Apache
scouts in the party, and they rode from
their station, Fort Grant, to this city in
fifty.two hours. They we're armed with
the latest improved Springfield repeat
ing carbines and Colts revolvers. Early
Sunday morning they took up the trial
to Tubac, in search OF any OF the late
Nogales revolutionists who might be
lurking in the vicinity.
Since the first of last January this
troop has covered ZOO miles in its
scouting.
Last evening Capt. Hsre's Troop "K"
7th u. 8. Cavalry arrived at the San
Xavier reservation having travelled from
Huachuoa, via Crittenden. The full
troop is out and is engaged upon the
same mission as Troop "E." This or
Qanization has also done q great deal OF
hard riding this year. Their efficiency
and ability will doubtless soon render
Apache and Indian outbreaks things OF

A GERMAN CONFERENCE.

A conference of German professors
was recently held in Berlin at which the
decline of prices 10 the agricultural pro-
ducts of the world was discussed. Pro-
feseor Sering Of the Berlin Academy OF
Agriculture expressed the belief that
the prices of agricultural products had
reached their lowest figure, but could
hold out no hopes of rise. He thought
that in short time Europe would be
independent of the United States as far
ss breadstuffs 60. Russia and the Ar
gentlne republic would soon supply Eu-
rope with wheat and meats, and the
sgriculturists Of the United States
would have to compete with products
from these sources. The admissions
made in this conference are worthy OF
the study Of the American people. Ii
there is to be no improvement In the
prices of agricultural staples, the sooner
our grain growers turn their attention
to other branches OF industry the
better it will be for them. If Europe is
preparing to get along without cur grain
the United States should see what can
be done in the way cf getting along
without European fats:cs. The pro-
tectivs policy furnishes tae 49, - the
situation. We get little froti Europe
that cannot be made in our own coun-
try. The reason European goods under
sell American goods in the Ameaican
market is because labor is cbesper in
Germany than il the United States.
But these conditions may be equallzed
by tariff duties. Again, We import $780,
O00, coo worth of sugar annually which
might be grown in this country. All We
need is protection for our sugar growers
and ASSURANCE that protection shall not
be withdrawn until it shall appear tna
sugar costs no more in this country than
in countries which export sugar. One
argument against protective tariff has
been that il We do not buy the products
OF European factories Europe would
not buy the products of our farms. But
Europe only buys the products OF ouI
farms when euch products compete IL
the European market with like products
from countries in which the cost OF Pro
duction is lowest When the Argentine
Republic or Russia can undersell the
American fruit grower, Europe will bu,
the cheapest. This is law OF trade
with which we can find no fault But
we can in measure provide against it
We can, with a judicious tariff law, sc
diversity cur Industries that there vii
be consumers in the United States fol
every pound of wheat we produce.
