A RIO SURVIVOR
An Arizonian Tells of Experience on
 the Sinking Vessel.

E. c. Howell, an Arizonian. arrived Saturday in Tucson from San Fran cisco. MT. Howell was on board the ill., fated steamer Rio de Janeiro when she sank. MT. Howell says the steamer had been out thirty-two days from Hong Kong the morning she anchored out side the Golden Gate. When she went on the rocks it made a grating noise like the dragging of a weight over a rock. No alarm was sounded, although number of passengers Were aware that the steamer had struck the rocks, but none knew the seriousness of the damage done to the boat. Mir. Howell said that he immediately made his way to the deck. On his way he stopped in the purser's office and there saw Con sul Wildman, and heard him say to the purser: For Gods sake open up that safe. there are papers that l must have" These evidently were official papers that he was taking to Wash ington. That was the last seen of Wildman. All the boats that were let down, except one. were on the left side of the steamer. These were filled with passengers who were all lost, being drowned by the terrible suction, caused by the sinking of the steamer. To make things worse. as the steamer leaving all in darkness.
 The fog was so thick that 1t was im- possible to see five feet ahead. Mir. Howell does not believe that Captain Ward locked himself up in his state room, but that he stood at his post doing his duty to the last. as cool brave officer. He lays the blame en- tirely on the pilot and the miserable coast guard, who failed to give the alarm. There were four besides Mir Howell who made their escape in the small life boat. On their way to the shore they picked up the pilot, who had a life preserver on. After reach ing shore in a conversation with one of the coast guards, he learned that the life saving crew could have reached the Rio In ten minutes time from the time they heard the signals and un- doubtedly could have saved many more lives.
 Mir. Howell has been in the Philip pines on prospecting tour for the last year. He says Luzon island is rich in gold, copper, lead and iron, and that with American energy and methods large ore bodies can be developed. The natives and Spaniards had done some mining, but in very crude manner. The main objection, is the climatical conditions, which make it very hard on Americans.

ALV0RD AT IT AGAIN
The Train Robber Remembering ir
 Cochise.

A sensation was created in Tomb stone, Wednesday. says the Prospec- tor, when 1t became known that this section had been visited by a no less distinguished person than Burt Alvord, the much waE.ed eX-constable, train robber and jail breaker.
 According to reliable official infor- nation received by the Prospector, AL word and a Yaqui Indian were at the Warren ranch in Sulphur Spring val ley. near Pearce, on Sunday. This ranch Is the one formerly owned by Alvord. The only occupant of the ranch at the time of the visitation of the outlaw was Frank Swink. Alvord demanded supper. saying he was hun gry, and he and the Indian enjoyed a hearty meal. A little later the two left. warning Swink not to leave the place or divulge their whereabouts. The two men returned the next evening. and af- ter eating supper prepared to renal , all night, Alvord meanwhile chatting about his experiences and how he had evaded the officers.
 AlvOrd and his compa nion were to leave thae night, hence retired early, and at late hour the two left the house. Swink was told to remain in the house. and supposing the two visitors were still in the neighborhood he obey ed orders. On the morn Swink discov- cred that the two men who had been the reclpierts of his hospitality showed their lngratitude by taking five horses from the ranch-two of the horses be- ing fine animals belonging to Swink The latter mourns the loss of his two pet horses 10 such a degree that he vowed vengeance against the outlaws and hastened to Pearce, gave the news and joined a posse to follow the trail Sheriff Del Lewis immediately ar ranged for a securing of the country, and with posse headed by himself started from Tombstone without delay.

saying that he had made a mining To- cation there and proposed to hold il. MT. Norton then swore out n warrant against the man at work, Ed Conroy, charging him with trespass and mali cious mischief.
 The case was tried Tuesday evening before Judge Wilcox. MT. Norton tes- tied that he had purchased the ground and had been in peaceable and undis- puted possession for sixteen years, anG that the digging done by ConrOy Was damaging his property. as it interferrJ with pans he had made for the efec- ton of a large building on the lot at an early day.
 Thomas Wright, a miner, testified that he had examined the excavation and found a small mass of decJmposcd lime, silica and porphry slightly stain ed with iron, but no further indications of mineral.
 On Tate's behalf Conroy simply made the statement that he was put to worl there by MT Tate, that the ground was soft and could be easily removed with pick and shovel, and that his work was in the nature of a cut into the side of the hill. MT. Tate testified that he had observed what he considered indica- tions of mineral at the point where he had put Conroy to work and he had made a mining location, believing that he had right to do so under the mu- ing laws. He stated that the olac" where the work was being doae was composed of a mass of decoi.pos e1 lime, porphry and iron stained with copper. He had not found any mineral in place, because he had been stopped from prosecuting the search for ir.
 Justice Wilcox found Conroy guilty of trespass and fined him. Notice of appeal was immediately filed.

The Sheriff and posse arrived in npmbsrone last night, took brief rest and were again on the trail early this morning. The trail was easily follow ed, the tracks leading directly across the country from the Dragons and passing just below Tombstone. near the hospital, where the tracks are plainly discernable. The sheriff was obliged to remain here on important official bus mess, but joins the party later if nec- essary, while the rest of the posse in cluding Swlnk. pressed forward. Dep uty Porter Mcdonald is also out head Ing another posse and 1t is hoped AL word will be headed of before he cross es the border.
 The object of Alvord's visit Is believ- ed to be to secure the buried spells of the holdup near his former ranch, which was the rendezy GUS of the band at that time. It has always been sus- pected that considerable of the holdup money was buried here by Alvord, and his visit there at this time lends color to the theory. Sheriff Lewis has noti- lied all officers where there is a possi- bility of heading off Alvord and his companion before they cross the line. and it is not improbable that the flee ing outlaw and his companion may be run to bay and desperate fight with the officers ensue. Sheriff Turner of Nogales has also joined forces and, witi ether officers on determined hunt and all points alone the line are closely guarded, while a possee is hot on the trail, 1t is not unlikely that Alvord may run into a trap and yet be brought back and paced behind the bars in Tombstone.
 Alvord was described by Swink as being very swarthy and of heavy build, having gained considerably in weight, and showed evidences cf eating reg u!arly since his Cochise county thrlll- ing experiences.

sCHLEY'S HARD LUCK
American Fighting Qualities Not Ap-
 preciated in Mexico.

William Dowell has received a let ter from John Rock. who is at Carbo Sonora. in the employ of the Melczer Mining company. It will be remember ed that considerable space in this pa per was devoted a few weeks ago to extolling the virtues of a canine named Schley, which was reared in this city by J. A. Plattner. and which same dog has more friends here than lots of white people.
 Schley was sent to Mir Rock not long ago on his urgent appeal, and now comes back the saddening news that while Schley could whip anything in Phoenix that walked on four, or less number of feet, when he tackled the Republic of Mexico. as represented by her policemen, he met his Waterloo
 MT. Rock says that policeman shot the dog three times in the head and then finished him for the time being with two by four scantling six feet long. About this time he entered the battle and only by good management or good luck, escaped the same fate that overlook the dog. MT. Rock sup posed from his impressive silence that Schley was dead and went into the house to weep, when friend reported that the dog was only in trance and was beginning to show signs of life.
 So he carried him into the house and took an inventory of what was left. He found pretty nearly everything the dog was accustomed to have in stock, ex- cept one eye, which had been disposed of by the Mexican.
 Other properties had been badly in 2. jured and his general constitution was more or less violated, while the by laws governing the mastication of food were practically imperative and 1t was necessary to administer nourishment with a spoon. The Mexican idea or how a well-proportiOned American dog should look like, did not meet MT. Rocks approval at all, for after the animals figure had been worked over with a scantling his head was larger than his body.
 Mr. Rock believes that with careful nursing Schley will pull through and still be a power in the Mexican repub- lie. He thinks he will prove beyond question that an American fighter is not dead till he dies or gets killed.

TRIED FOR A RICH GRAB
Bisbee Man Makes An Effort to Steal
 Part of @ Town.

Last Monday morning the residents of Bisbee, particularly those owning property on Main street, says the Re- view, were thrown into flutter of ex- citement on learning that Thomas A. Tate had made a mining location on the ground which had been covered by the building burned last May, and ly'- ing immediately west of the Norton house, and had a man at work digging there. Although monuments had not been put up nor lines ran. 1t was pre- sumed that it was Mp. Tate's intention to claim under his location, all the val uab!e ground to the east of the point where he had put the man to work, up to the company's patented ground. This land is owned by various parties and is covered by business buildings bringing in good rents. The land or which the location notice was posted and the man was working, Is owned by E. G. Norton, an old and respected citizen of Bisbee.
 Mir. Norton at about II o'clock Mon day morning, discovered the man working on his ground and asked him what he was doing there, and was in formed that Tate had put him to work there. Mir. Norton told him that he was the owner of the land and ordered him to quit work and get off the ground. This the man refused to do until he had received orders 10 do so from Tate. MT. Norton then went to Tate and asked him to order the man to quit work. This Tate refused to do.

HEART DISEASE.
S-me Facts Regarding the Rapid In-
 crease of Heart Trouble

Heart trouble. at least among the Americans. Is certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life, it is more often the re- suit of weak stomachs. of poor diges- ton.
 Real organic disease is incurable: but mt one case in hundred of heart trouble Is organic.
 T-re close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because bc n organs are controlled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
 In another way also the heart is af- fected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There is a feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the dlstended stomach on the heart and lungs. interfering with their action; hence arises palpitatlon and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood. making It thin and watery, which irri- tates and weakens the heart
 
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble Is to improve the diges- tion and to insure the prompt assimi. lation of food.
 This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe. pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, and which contain valuable, harmless d.. gestive elements in pleasant. con. venlent form.
 It Is safe to say that the regular per- sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of tho stomach.
 Full sized package of these tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little book on stomach troubles mailed free Address F A. Stuart Co.,. Marshall. Mich.

He is to in- corporate a soda fountain and appara- tus in his store for the convenience and refreshgnent If his customers during the coming snmmer. and rhis will also be open to the general public. Perhaps his customers will stand in need of such. as MT. Blumberg expects them to spend good part of the day in looking over his immense new stock of furni- ture which he is about to add to his dry goods business; and dress making and millinery parlors will also be ad- \ ded features of interest to a large per- centage of his lady customers.
