Itis reported that Messrs. Callahan and Kline, two Americans interested in mines near Ameca, have been assas- sinated, Kline being shot and killed. while Callahan received several stabs with a knife. Several men have been arrested, and it is suspected that they arc complicated in the crime.
 At San Andres, Tuxtla, it is said that in the mountains about the vol cano of San Martin, several mines have been discovered, which, in the opinion of experienced people, are rich in gold, silver and lead. The mines have already been denounced. The discovery was made by wood chopper.
 A telegram to Secretary of State Ce- ledonio ortiz at lIermosillo, received by that gentleman Saturday evening, conveyed the intelligence that on the l4th inst, at I:40 pm, General Leopoldo Romano, jefe polltico of the territory of Topic departed this life. General Romano was a most distinguished citizen of the republic, which he had served creditably and honorably through many years.
 Nj. r. Wright, of Chihuahua, is now interested in mining in the tres and Arizpc districts, Sonora, and is de- veloping six gold properties and ex- poets soon to put iu ten-stamp mill on one of these claims. He recently sold one very promising prospect fora large amount Mir Wright expects agaip 70 visit Chihuahua in the near future, not having lost confidence in Chlhushna mlhlag districts.
 During April Of last year l4,90l head of beef cattle were shipped from Chi buahua to the United States, while the last mouth the shipments reached the large number of T2, ,644; this num- Der exceeded by 2 ,O0O the number ci head of he previous month. These are tue largest figures yet reached in Mexico's history in the cattle trade with the United States. It is alto getber probable the prospective duty on importa,ions of beef cattle has led to the ac, iyiJy of American buyers.
 Two Republics: 1t was reported yesterday that MT. Hugh Tudor Ri chards, the former general manager of the Sonora Railway, and the pre- sent holder of splendid irrigation concession for orange lands near Her mosillo, the capital of Sonora has secured an option on the Occidental Railway Of Sinaloa, of which Messrs. Sebastian Camacbo and Robert k. Symonds are the principal owners. This railroad runs from the port of Altata, in the Gulf of California, to Culiacan, capital of the state of Sina- lOa, and also owns a line of coasting steamers-amoDg them the "Altatan and "PorHrio Dial,n which ply be- tween Altata and Aglabampo, Peri huete, Mazatlan, La Paz and Quay mas. Mir Richards left this city about the middle of April for Chicago for the purpose, it is said, of placing these properties with big syndicate in that city. The amount at which the road with it's line of steamers is held, is understood to be Si50.000. The intention of the syndicate, if il buys, is to complete the road to Du- rango and also to make it's port termi- nus in the magnificent harbor, recent iy discovered by Colonel Wrotnosky, twenty miles south of Altata, at the new mouth of the Culiacau river.

An Enormous Reservoirs.

Preliminary Government surveys
have begun for the proposed reservoirs
in Colorado and Wyoming, which are
to be among the largest in the world.
Herman M. Chittendon, captain of en-
gineers, United States Army, has been
detailed by the War Department, and
after several months of extensive trav-
cling and topogl aphical observations,
has decided on the great natural basin
near Laramie as the Wyoming site
1t lies in the heart of the Rocky
Mountains, and is ten miles long and
two miles wide. Its maximum depth
is one hundred and fifty feet, and ac-
cording to Captain Chittendon it is es-
timated that it will hold twenty bill
lion cubic feet of water.
In order to obtain sufficient water,
the Big and Little Laramie Rivers will
be tapped, as it would take life time
to fill the basin from rainfalls But
even with two rivers pouring into its
vast area it will take, as already stat
ed, according to the Government en-
gineers, between five and six years.
The great utility of this reservoir
will be to keep the entire eastern part
of Wyoming and Western Nebraska
supplied with water during the dry
season, thus averting the terrible con,
sequences of severe droughts which
have discouraged the agriculturists up
to the present. The water will be col
lected in winter, and used to food the
stream leading down from the site OF
the big reservoir during the summer.
A corps of Government engineers is
now on the scene surveying the basin,
and drawing up plans for the feeding
bitches.

HUMOR OF THE INDIANS.

age. But when l got acquainted with
the aboriginal in his native wilds |
found that this was a mistake.
The Indian is a born humorlst,
There isn't the slightest doubt of that.
The great trouble is, however, that his
humor runs chiefly to practical jokes.
l remember one time meeting (or rather
discovering few rods distant) a big
Indian, when l was out walking alone
about two miles from camp.
We'll, he discovered me about the
same time, and the minute he did so
he let out a terrific war-whoop, began
fiourishing his tomahawk, and started
for me on Il run. He c;Iased me until
l keeled over from exhaustion. and
then instead of sca'ping me as | ma
turally expected he would from his
previous actions, he assisted me to my
feet, with a broad grin on his face,
and grun.ed: Ugh, Injun only yell for
fun. Too bad scare white man. Injun
don't want scalp. Want chew terback.

"The Whole proceeding it seemed was
only his humorous method of striking
a stranger for chew of tobacco. If
l had had something to strike back
with it might not have been quite so
1unny-for hlm-but unfortunately |
had left my weapons in camp.
And again. | remember the time q

muzZle with Slugs and nails and SCRAP
iron, and other bric-l-brac of the sort,
and then hang around at safe dis
tance, to see the fun when bonfire
was made of the guns as was the
usual rule in such cases.
But, luckily for the soldiers. they
discovered the trick in time, and the
expected fun failed to pan out. Still we
must take the VIII for the deed, and
this little incident goes to show. that
