to no purpose. Three cowboys, over by
the eastern boundary Of the territory,
had reported they had been chased by
five redskins, remarkable circum-
stance in itself, for three cow-punchers
have ever been considered fully compe-
tent to stand off even twice their weight
in either Indians or wildcats. But now
1t is stated that the cowboys had looked
too long on the wine that is straw-col-
ored, and that the Indians were only
creatures of the imagination.
There can be little doubt that the
Apaches of Arizona are pacified, and
pacfied for all time. The last stroke Of
the pacification process is about to come.
1t will consist in the construction of
broad gauge railway across the Apache
reservation from Geronimo to Globe.
The Indians have heretofore refused to
permit its construction. but new agent

GARLAND'S RAILROAD
This railroad is the ella Valley, Globe
and Northern, brach of the Southern
Pacific, with Bowie station as its ini-
tial point. Its promoter and real owner
is William Garland of Los Angeles,
man noted In the annals of western
railway construction. 1 learn today that
he has expressed a Willingness to sell
his line however, and that the offer will
undoubtedly be taken up by the Old
Dominion and United Globe Mines COM
panies, acting in concert. These COM
panies are the main copper producers OF
the camp, and alone would give traffic
enough to ssustain any ordinary rail-
way. If they secure the road already
completed, 70 miles in length, the plan is
to at once extend it to Globe. another 20
miles, over one of the easiest railroad
grades that would be possible to find.
The main item of the week has been,
Of course, the STEMS Pass train rob-
berry. But the story has been told at
length in the columns of The Herald,
and 1t Is we'll known that the bandits
have been caught. 1t is only necessary
to add that the men stand in no fear of
the Arizona statute that gives the death
penalty to train rObbers-for the robbery
was committed just over the line in New
Mexico, and to New Mexico 1t Is pro-
posed to take the prisoners for trial.

Horrors Of the Skaguay Trail

The horrors of the Skaguay trail have
only half been told. A number of men
have recently returned from the White
pass (Which will henceforward be known
as the Black pass) with stories fit to
sicken the stoutest heart and subdue the
hottest courage. One man, L. j. Richard
of Seattle,a bright and intelligent young
fellow, with plenty Of pluck and perse-
verence, used his very best efforts to
get over the trail, but has returned to a
more friendly land for the winter, and
will make another trial in the spring.
In eight weeks of the hardest work he
had ever done, Richard managed to get
his goods to the summit of the last hill.
Then his money was gone, his horses
exhausted, and he had the choice of
wintering in the timber by the lakes,
while his food supply diminished, or Of
returning to California and earning
more money to again attempt the trip
northward. He figured that, If he
camped for the winter. as so many are
counting upon doing, he would have an
early start in the spring, but would by
that time have only two months pro-
visions left, at the outside. and he was
already penniless. Richard spent his
money for food and shoes for his horses.
He says the difficulty Of feeding horses
on the Skaguay trail is enormous. 1t was
necessary to go all the way back to
Skaguay for hay, and by the time it was
brought back to the hungry animals
waiting for it the other animals met on
the trail, by each taking passing nip,
had reduced the quantity about fifty
~ iroI
leaves, but they soon contract mud
fever, and, as they are insuff1ciently fed
and not sheltered at all. they soon be-
come worthless Not so many are lost
on the trail as is supposed. They really
die from lack of care. Horses are a
good deal better on the Skaguay trail
than burros, although the best thing
of all would be an OK, which is very
good for muddy travelling, and can car
Try big load. The burros taken up are
