SONORArS BIC CANAL.
Superintendent Dave Hardenberg Late of Phoenix Speaks of the Enter
 prise to Los Angeles Times

David Hardenberg, who arrived in the city on Tuesday from Rio Yaqui Mexico, says the Los Angeles Times is superintendent of the Sonora Sina- loa Irrigation company, which has just completed canal sixty fee. wide, and carrying seven feet of water twenty five miles through $50. 900 acres of cuI- tiVable land. The building of the ca nal, which is a tunnel through rock for the first half mile of it's length, has occupied about three hundred men nearly four years. The company is composed of English, Mexican and New York capitalists, and President w. A. Watson of New York is now in the field.
 The YaQui river country" says Gir. Hardenberg, has, up to few months ago, been under the control of the Va qui Indians, but the Mexican govern ment has just succeeded in conducting them and d movement, according to the newspapers, is on foot for placing 6 government school dCNn there.
 We are now building lateral canals from our main and will soon till our soil. We will raise wheat, sucar, cot ton and fruits. We will export largely to Europe The Yaqui flows into the Gulf of California about thirty-five miles south of GUaymas, and our head ing is about sixty miles inland. It will i.rigate about 3G000O of our acres, which are loWlands to the southwest.
 "I am here to talk with steamship agents to see what will be the chances for steamer exportation to Europe. Most of our wheat will go to Europe. but a large amount of all our products will be consumed in Mexico. The plan of the future is for a railroad from the Fl Paso line through our grant to Topolobampo bay, where we will have our own docks. Some of this land is being titled without irrigation

THE HOST CABIN "
HLong SequeStered Nine Near Yuma
 Believed to Be RediSCoVered.

w. P. Carter arrived at the Ford hotel last night from San Bernardino. He said an old prospector told him that thre had been discovered what was thought to be the Lost Cabin mine He was asked about the mine and told the story
 A number of years ago when the country was sparsely settled and In dians roamed in large bands, party of prospectors equipped an outfit at Yuma and Harted on prospecting tour They went west over the desert and had great trouble with the In dians from time to time. In an attack one night they were driven off their course, but they retained general idea of their location.
 The next morning at daybreak one of the men started out in quest of wood and when he returned he displayed 8 specimen of quartz he had discov- cred. The miners immediately went to work on the property wrich developed into a mine of fabulous wealth. They worked it for some time, finding water in the vicinity, and in the meantime massed their wealth, amounting to thousands of dollars in one general fund, with the agreement that it should be distributed equally when they arrived at the first settlement. Their stock of provisions WAS run

FROM THE NORTULAND.
A Visitor Who Comments Phoenixs Winter Climate and Has Much to
 Say of His Summer Home.

Dr. R. J. Howes of Du- luth, Minn., who has been at the Commercial for three weeks is an enthusiast on the superb climate of Arizona. He says that Phoenix is little known in his section and that California was we'll known for it's resorts. but he proposes when he returns to his city to speak a good word for this place on every possible occasion. Yet while Phoenix has such a delightful climate he was forced to speak of Duluth as a summer resort.
 It is a well known place in the east and especially in New York for the wealthier class of people to spend their summers. The heat through the east, said Mir. Howes, as is generally known on account of the humidity of the at mosphere, is oppressive in the eX- treme. It is more disagreeable than the heat of this valley and the people who Go not go abroad devise other methods to escape it.
 J. J. Hill one of the enterprising men of the country and who is con- nected with the Great Northern rail- road, has launched the two largest fresh water steamships in the world They are sister ships on the Great Lakes and ply between Buffalo and OUlGlu, CI6 IS udnGQ lllS NUT ilI- western and the other is the North land" They have over 300-foOt keels and each liner cost over million dol lars. The furnishings arc elegant and no expense was spared to make the vessels literal floating palaces.
 The distance is about 1000 miles anu each vessel makes the round trip in one week. There is about 100 em- plOyes on each ship and 200 passengers are carried in a trip.
 The ple6santness of the summer eli mate at Duluth is due to it's clOsene5s to the lake. The ice does not collect on the lake to any extent until the lat ter part of the winter and not until the later part of the summer does the water become warm. A person twenty five miles from the city may be al most sweltering in the heat, while a short trip to the city would force them to don an OvercOat. Points touching the lakes are cooler in sum mer than ocean coasts of the same lat itude for the reason that the waters of the lake are subject to greater change of temperature, but the change is gradual, while on the ocean, although the change is even more gradual, yet it does not vary in all but little. Since the lakes do not thaw out until the latter part Of the season the breezes coming ever them is instantly cooled.

VIOLATED HIS PEACE BOND
D. Jimenez inc Threafener of William
 Wolf Sent 10 Jail.

D. Jimenez learned yesterday that he cannot play fast and loose with the courts and that justice, like truth, is mighty. Jimenez was arrested q month ago on a peace warrant sworn out by William Wolf, who said that the Mexican had given him the alter native of going away from this part of the country or going to heaven quick. Wolf had lately been divorced from his wife, Lupa Wolf, a Mexican wo man, who had for a long time been living with Jimenez. The divorce did not affect the relations between Jime- neg and the woman, but believing now that she had no other legal protector, he determined to punish her late hus- band for the affront he has put on her.
 He was brought before Justice Gray, who put him under a bond to keep the peace. He said he had always done so with respect to Wolf and would con- tinue to do, it, therefore the bond was no hardship. IA day or two ago he began to break cut again and his threats against Wolf were renewed Jimenez is now so situated that Wolf can breathe easily. He is in jail for six months

ming low and with their agreement in view they started out one morning to return to civilization and they packed their gold dust on two burros.
 Before travelling many miles they were surprised by a band of Indians. They succeeded, however, in hiding their treasure in a cTevice at the foot Of a dwarfed tree, but the onslaught of the Indians was so heavy that only one man escaped massacre. He pock- eted small amount of the gold dust and on a small piece of bark drew crude map of the surroundings After wandering about the desert for few days his provisions and supply Of water gave out, and he could discover no trace of civilization. The tense condition of his mind, together with a great thirst he experienced, at last drove him mad and it was in that state that he wandered. enc evening into the settlement of Yuma. For several months they could get no information from him, until one day his rawlings ceased. Gradually he recalled to mem ory the previous circumstances, but from the moment of his madness his mind was a blank He could remem- Der the landmarks at the mine and de- scriOed it accurately, but beyond that his knowledge of the location was very meager.
 A searching party was immediately organized to look for the lost prop erty, but it met with no success. On various occasions Indians came to town with large quantities of gold and it was thought that they had discov- cred the buried treasure as well as the location of the diggings.
 Mir Carter explained that the mine reported to have been found answers perfectly in description to the lost mine, but he has heard no mention of it's wealth. The tunnels are caved in and the mouth is forrii ed. Also bull let marks have been discovered near the place.

 Black Jack is known to have friends
 who have shielded him after many of
 his raids in the past.
 The information received from San Simon says, "The Black Jack gang has
 broken out again, which shows that there must be some definite grounds
 for the belief that Black Jack has again appeared in Arizona in Lis old
 business.
 The appearance of Black Jack and his band of desperadOes in Arizona was last April when the Atlantic & Pacific express was held up and robbed of $30. 900 at Grant. The gang went into the Mogollon mountains and was next heard of in southern Arizona. They crossed the line into Mexico and camp ed near NOgales late in the spring of last year. At Fronteras small pueblo in Sonora, the gang attempted to shoot up the town and three mem bers Of the gang were captured by the Mexicans. It is said that 5000 was takG0 from the prisoners and the Mex ican authorities felt so elated over their success that they forgot their captiyes and indUlged freely in mes cal. The prisoners escaped and joined the gang who were fleeing toward the Sierre Madre mountains. Colonel KOsteTlitski followed the gang with a detachment of cavalry, and it was re- ported that he had wiped out the ues- peradoes at a point in the upper Rio de Aros country. But this report was never credited by the public owing to the fact that similar reports had been published and Black Jack had appear ed again to dispTove them.
 The Fl Paso Herald describes the robbery as follows:
 News reached here yesterday that on the previous night three desper- adOes, supposed to be members of the notorious Broncho Bills gang, had sur rounded and held up the postofice at San Simon, Ariz., footing it.
 ''The robbers were mounted and heavily armed. They rode into town at dusk and surrounded the store where the pcstOffice is located. One of them entered and leveling his win chester compelled the postmaster and 3 cowboy who were inside to throw ID their hands. Another member of the gang then gathered up such money and postage stamps as could be found. The robbers then withdrew and their horses rode away. Only a small sum of money was pro cured by the outlaws and they may be 10 make another strike short y. San Simon is a village about 160 miles distant from this city"

SUICIDE ENDS MAN HUNT.
Bert Grundy, Who Killed His Rival in a Love Affair, Killed Himself
 to AvCid Capture.

Endicott, Neb, March 10-Bert Grundy, who killed Clyde Cole in a sensational duel and then fled to the woods, was pursued by a posse and bloodhounds today, and committed suicide when it was certain that he would be captured. When Cole fell dead in the presence of Miss Rickey about whom they fought, Grundy sprang into a passing buggy. throwing the occupant out, and whipping the horses into a gallop, escaped into the woods. The pursuit was not organized until morning, and then the sheriff's posse was provided with bloodhounds In the forest was found the team which the fugitive had used. One of driving
 The bIoodhounds at once took up the trail Grundy had made for the nearest stream, and swimming it in spite of the ice, started, it is believed, for the Big Horn basin. The posse followed the trail with their horses until the fugitive was nearly over taken and then continued on foot Twice the hunted man was seen cross ing a ridge, running fast in spite of his long race. Then the dogs overlook him, and though not offering to attack him snarled at his heels. He beat them off, but when the posse came nearer he pulled his revolver and put a bullet through his own brain.
