ROBINSON GOES NORTH,
The Construction of the Big Bug Rail
 road Will Begin at Once.

s. R. H. Robinson left last night for Prescott to establish his camps and get his working crew organized for the grading work of the new Big Bug railroad. MT. Robinson was seen last night by a Republican reporter, and asked in regard to the work. He said:
 Our headquarters camp will be es tablished at Massicks' siding, near Point of Rocks, from which place the first work will be done. The workmen will be divided into five camps, which will be located out from Point of Rocks at different points. We will have a working force of 300 men when we are fully organized. Those men are being supplied by Goldman Bros. of Phoenix, and a large number have already been engaged. I expect to have my outfit at Prescott in a few days from Geronimo, and everything in readiness to go ahead with the wo.k by the first day of March. The camp at Massicks' station will be the supply camp as well as my headquarters, and this will be established immediately.
 'The altitude of the Bradshaw noun tains will enable us to work our teams to good advantage. It will be fine place to work in summer, and there is no reason why we cannot make good headway with the work under such favorable circumstances"
 s. Kingman of Phoenix, accompa nied MT. Robinson to Prescott last night. He will be employed as head bookkeeper for MT. Robinson. Frank L. Conkey of this city will also be ore of MT. Robinson's assistants.

How Help Comes.

The careless son of the old camel
driver, Abou Ben Hassen, lost a camel,
and was sent to find it.
Find it YOURSELF" ordered the father,
Esternly.
So the young man went and walked
all day, but came back at night with
out the camel.
How is this?" asked the father.
You told me to find it myself" an
swered the lad. 'Some men told me in
which direction he went and others as
sured me they knew where he was,
and, others again, offered to help me
fetch him. All this is true, by Allah.
But 1 walked on by myself, thinking
must find the camel alone. as you had
taught me to ask no help but of Allah" -
And did not Allah put in your way
the means to find him. if you had
chosen to use your wits?" demanded his
father. The camel has gone now, for
Allah never sends US the same chance
twice"
And, although the youth repented of
his folly, the camel indeed never reap
peared
But it happened that the boy who had
learned this lesson was walking not
long after in a lonely place; and he
fell into a deep pit, which he could not
see. because of the long grass about.
Down in the bottom he lay, bemoaning
his fate
This is worse than the loss of the
Icamel,' he cried. There are no friends
to help me here, or show me the way
out Surely, there is no help now but
in Allah alone! My wits are of small
use in pit so deep and lonely as this" .
So, trusting in Allah alone, he cried
and prayed in loud tones for deliver
ance from this horrible pit.
And, presently. far up in the air, he
heard a voice saying, Help will come"
TT is Allah, come to help me, in
decd" thought the boy trembling. And
he lay still. waiting.
And. by and by, at the mouth of the
pit, he heard a voice again, saying:
Here is a rope. Catch it, and l will
pull you up" And the voice was the
voice of the son of the neighbor who
had before offered to help him find
his camel.
Then the youths heart sank. and he
said:
1T is not Allah who is helping me-
after ALL This is but a boy like my
self"
For an instant the thought came to
refuse the rope, and still trust only to
Allah But while he hesitated, his
fathers words came to his mind, Allah
never sends us the same chance
twi eel"
So he seized the rope and was drawn
safely out.
$50 you thought it was not Allah who
helped you!" said his father, when the
lad told him of his danger and escape
1.-The camel indeed, is lost. but his loss
saved your life. And you have learned
this truth besides: When we cry to
Allah he sometimes comes to us in the
form of boy with a rope"'-Eva Low

A Teri fife Explosion Occurs Near
Dover, New Jersey.
The Entire Plant Of the Atlantic Company
Destroyed.
Six Workmen Killed and Four
Others Seriously Injured, Some
Probably Fatally-The Works
We're Running Night and Day on
Rush Orders for the Govern
ment.

EASTON Pa), April 2S.-The town
of Dover in Morris County, N. j., and
the country within a radius of twenty
miles was startled this afternoon by
series of terrific explosions, the first of
which occurred at 2:1O o'clock. The
explosions occurred in the Atlantic
Powder Companys works, and the
plant is now a mass or ruins.
Six Workmen were killed and four
others were seriously injured, some
probably fatally. The remains of the
dead have not yet been recovered, All
the killed were married and leave fami-
lies.
The works were situated in an iSo-
lated spot seven miles from Dover, in
a rough country. There were ten build
ings in the group and all have been
destroyed.
The first explosion occurred in one
of the packing houses, caused, it is
thought, by a spark from the pipe of
a careless smoker. The conclusion set
off the explosives in another packing
house near by.
Debris and burning timber of the
wrecked buildings were carried high
into the air, and fell in shower over
the remaining buildings, setting fire to
the main factory, and the other five
packing houses and the two shell
houses. In a brief time the explosives
in these buildings were set off, and left
death and destruction in their wake.
The works had been running night
and day turning out rush orders for
the Government, and a large amount of
ammunition ready for shipment was
stored in the packing houses. all of
which was completely destroyed.

CAPTURED SPANISH MAIL.
A Large Lot Sent to the Dead Let
ter Office at Washington.

CHICAGO, April ga special to the
Record" from Washington says:
The clerks in the dead letter office at
the Postoffice have been busy all day
examining the captured Spanish mail,
the first batch of which has been re-
ceived in Washington from the Post
office at New York
BY an order issued by the Postmaster
General the Postmasters throughout
the country are instructed to forward
to the department at Washington all
letters and packages addressed to per
sons in Spain. When this order went
into effect there was considerable mail
matter accumulated in the New York
Postoffice and en- route from Cuba by
the fast mail via Florida. All the let
tiers received We're delivered to the
chief of the dead letter office. Those
which originated in the United States
and bore upon their envelopes the
names and addresses of the writers
were at once returned unopened, and
the most of it was treated according to
the usual rules of the dead letter Of
flee. Letters bearing signatures that
could be identified were Immediately re-
turned to the writer's, but official mail
there was a good deal of that.
Some of the letters were of very great
Importance to the military and naval
translations are now being made for the
use of Secretary Long and Secretary
Alger Some of them are reports made
by General Blanco and other Spanish
officers in Cuba to their suoeriors in

affairs and plans for the defense OF the
island. Others were written by Spanish
spies in this country, and most of them
are unimportant. They contain infor-
nation that has been repeatedly pub
lished in the newspapers, which would
not have been of any service to Spain.
Other letters from business houses hav-
ing connections in S3ain contain infOr-
nation of more or less Importance. Sew
eral letters will be turned over to the
Secret Service Division of the Treasury
Department, as they contain clews that
may be useful hereafter
No one can remember when the Gov
eminent of the United States held up
and opened private correspondence be-
fore. Certainly never since the war
of 1872, although during the rebellion
letters were frequently intercepted by
orders of the War Department or the
Department Of Justice, when it was
suspected that they contained official
information
For long time it has been believed
the mail of the United States Consulate
at Cuba was tempered with in the
Havana Postoffice, although communi-
cations between the Consul-General
and the Government could not have
been disturbed, for they were always
sent back and forth in a separate and
exclusive pouch, to which there were
only two keys-one in the State De-
partment at Washington and the other
at the Consulate in Havana

CLAUS SPRECKELS.
The Aged Capitalist Suffering
From a Painful Carbunc1e.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-The ru-
NOR prevalent to-day that Claus
Spreckels is seriously i'll was founded on
the fact that the aged capitalist has
been confined to his house for several
days, suffering with a painful carbun-
Gle. AT no time has he been in danger,
and a statement made tonight by a
member of his family is to the effect
that his condition is much improved.
DR.. L. c. Lane, who is the physician
of Mr.. Spreckels, said tonight: Claus
Spreckels was taken i'll about two
weeks ago with a carbuncle on his
back. The affection had the ordinary
course requiring incision, which was
done eight days ago. For a few days
afterward the patient was seriously i'll.
His condition at present is much i'm
proved, and in all probability he viii
recover, though at his time of life the
disease is of slow and painful progress
and of a tedious character"
Then the doctor added: There is no
doubt as to his final recovery"
