The governor of this Territory
has refused to supplement the re-
ward, offered by Apache Co., for
the arrest of tho murderers of
Frank Lesueur and Gus Gibbons.
The governor in his refusal makes
TIE following statements: "Counties
should, as lule, defray the cost
of apprehendlDE their own crimi-
nats;. but ofcoHrse, in cases extraor-
binary IN character, where crimes
Ofgreat atrocity have been commit
ted, and serious difficulties prevent
tho apprehension of criminals, it is
not improper tor Territorial re-
wards TO be offered. Besides the
general reward fund is running low,
and large amounts will not be a.
vaiiable'until the next legislature
meets" His Excellency also says
in substance. that many Sheriffs
have in times past received rewards
for the mere performance Of duty.
The Inconsistency, incoherency,
and incongruity Of these statements
are obvious TO any one Conversant
with the ia. is.
In the history of crimes there
are recorded few, if any, more a.
trocIous deeds of brutality. As to
counties paying for the apprehen-
sion of THEIR OWN criminals, as a
sule. This statcmen: is so ambig.
uous that tits really difficult to see
whether he means that there are
some counties that should pay for
the capture of criminals, while 9TH
ers should be assisted by Territori
torral rewards, or something else.
The former must be the meaning
intended, for Apache Co. has never
been assisted by Territorial reward
and it is implied that these are our
criminals. When only l of them is
known TO ever have lived in this
c"unry, and that for only a short
space of a month. They are GER
tainly men guilty of many other
heinous crimes. and probably in
other parts of Arizon in any e.
vent the apprehension OF these rem
egades would b. to the best inter
est of the whole West.
We frequently hear Apache Co.
spoken at rs 81 rendezvous for out
laws. This is no nearer true than
the same statement would be made
of any other sparSely settled coun-
ty in the West. The citizons Of A
pache have fought as nobly against
desperadoes as any people can, and
hence are entitled to the benefits Of

CHEAP HYDROGEN GAS.
CndeP New Process II In Obtained for
Nothing q By-Product
from Acetylene.

Almost the only demand for hydro
gen gas, except in small quantities for
laboratory use, is for filling balloons,
and these are now of such value in mill
tary service that the question of the
cost of the gas is an important one.
Until recently the favorite method of
producing it was to resolve water into
its constituent elements by electricity.
If both the oxygen and the hydrogen
could be utilized, the cost of the latter
would be about 81 confines, or ten
cents, a cubic meter. But French
mining engineer, NJ. Hubou, has found
a much more economical means of pro-
curing the gas.
The new plan is to manufacture lamp
black from acetylene gas, an operation
that yields hydrogen as by-product,
and inasmuch as the lampbIack can be
sold for more than the cost of the ma
terials needed to make it, the hydrogen
can be had for practically nothing.
Acetylene, it is hardly necessary TO say,
is derived most cheaply from calcium
carbide. This substance having been
immersed in water, gives off an abund-
ance of the gas. NJ. Hubou incloses a
certain amount in stout steel cylinder,
under a pressure Of two atmosphere.
BY means of fiiament like that Of an
incandescent lamp he ignites the ace
tylene. it is decomposed abruptly,
though without violence. Nevertheless,
the operator is advised to stand at dis
lance from his apparatus when he
turns on the electric current. When
the acetylene is broken up, it gives rise
to lampblack, which is deposited on the
walls of the cylinder, and to free hy-
drogen. So much of the latter is pro-
Guced that the pressure in the cylinder
rises during the process to about Is at
mospheres, or nearly 400 pounds to the
inch. On opening a valve the operator
allows the hydrogen to flow off into a
separate reservoir.
A kilogram of acetylene costs about
a franc. 1t produces Is grammes of
hydrogen, or more than a cubic meter,
and 925 grammes of iampblaek. 1t is
asserted that this amount of lampblack
has higher value than the carbide
needed to make it. 1t is rather curious
aspect of this discovery that acetylene
is about as heavy gas as air, but it is
used to make the lightest gas yet

THE PARIS EXPOSITION;

Work on the Paris exposition has
unearthed millions of rats, and the la
borers are sometimes obliged to stop
and do battle with the pests.
An international congress of mining
snd metallurgy will be held in Paris
the middle of next June and large
attendance is expected.
Busts of Benjamin Franklin, Horace
Greeley, George w. Childs, Charles A.
Dana and Joseph Medill will adorn the
Publishers building of the Uuite1
States at the Paris exposition.
The new Paris exposition stamp
bears representation of the republic
in the form of woman holding in
her hand tablet on which is written:
1.-The Rights of Man." 1t will be used
for stamps of 10, Is, 20 and rs CEN
times.
An American corn kitchen will he
maintained at the Paris exposition at
a cost TO the United States of $4,000.
The money will be well invested, for
outside of America the merits of maize
gre still but little understood. Last
year this country exported $144,O00,oOo
worth of -four and only 100000
worth of corn meal.
One CT the most interesting exhib-
its which will be sent from the United
States to Paris will be huge map of
New York city, which is now in proc
ess of construction under the chief
Typographical engineer of the board
of public improvements. 1t measures
asx24 feet and is on scale of 900 feet
to the inch, and includes all the bor-
oughs of the great city and consider
able of the adjoining territory.

Indian Railways.

A comparison Of the railways Of In6is
With those in the United States is in
teresting and instructive at the same
time. India has a length of %, 900 miles
of railway lines in operation, which was
constructed and put in operation at an
expenseof$ 1857 $685. COO. Their,ast years
gross earnings amounted to SS7.SSS.56I
and their net earnings 20 $46,oT9.621
leaving profit on the investment of
5.S7 per cent, against 5.4 per cent. in
the previous year. The average passen-
ger tariff per mile is 2.26 cents for first
class, 1.13 cents for second class, O.56
cents for intermediate and 0.3 cents for
third class. Taking the intermediate
class as the one used. by the business
and laboring people, one can trave, in
India for about half cent per mile. and
If that is too much he can take tie
third class and pay about a cent fer
three miles.-Detroit Journal.

Perry Belmont is one Of Dewey's

will soon have an understanding
with ex-senator Hill whereby the
New York delegates will go uEin-
strucied to the democratic conven-
ton. Mclean Is undermining the
Bryan influence in Ohio. One Of
the foremost democratic papers in
Bryan's own state has come out for
Dewey. Al dyou may as we'll take
note of these facts, and also the toll

down strictly to business now; the
people like q military hero, and
with all his alleged recent bfunders
they still love the Dewey-hero; the

Iftho heirs of Lafayette had con-

HIM by congress in 1924, they now
would be rich men. On, the oeea-

was allotted by formal vote one
township of land, TO be located on
any Of the unoccupied lands of the
United States. The location was
made in what was then Known as
West Florida, being township l
north, range east, containing 70,

issued to him. and the Lard Office
