Captain Held Responsible for the Terrible
Disaster OF snn Francisco.
San Francisco, Feb. 25.-So far MS
can be ascertained from reliable data
rs lives We're lost in the wreck of the
Pacific mail steamer City of Rio de
Janeiro. Some fishermen Saturday
morning found packet containing the
papers of Purser Rooney. Among
them was the passenger list and a
punch OF cancelled passenger tickets,
SO that some passengers who started
on the ship must have laid over some
where en- route md We're not alonrd
when she went down. Those who laid
over were: William Casle and wife.
w! Klose, Mrs. C. x. Mcintosh. and
Mr.. n. S. Olcott.
OF the 200 sacks of mail carried by
the Rio de Janeiro only twelve have
come to the surface. The investigation
into the cause of the disaster Will be
hampered by the fact that Captain
Ward, the man held responsible for
the navigation of the steamer. is dead
1t is not correct as was thought by
many that the pilot was responsible.
He does not take charge of the ship
when he goes aboard; he is only there
as an advisor to the captain; and when
Captain Ward ordered him to go ahead
in the fog lie had to obey orders.

dead, has turned up alive. He said
that he escaped in boat with seven
Chinese Of the crew, and that Captain
Ward was carrying Mrs. Wildman to

Capt. Anderson Had Strong Back

Projects.

The st. Louis Republic of last
Sunday has the following com
ments upon the death of Capt WIN
Anderson:
"Word has been received from
Laredo, Tex, of the death at that
place Friday night, of Capt. Will
liam Anderson, a railroad con,
tractor and promoter OF national
reputation. Capt. Anderson had
been interested at different times
with st. Louisians in the building
Of railroads in the West and South.
west
"The advices from Laredo SIM
ply state that Capt. Anderson had
died Friday night, and ask that
bis st. Louis friends notify the
friends Of the deceased. No par
ticuIars are given, but it is believed
by former friends of Capt. Ander-
son that his death was caused by
heart disease, from which he SUI
fered. He was on terms of init
mate acquaintance with several St.
Louis railroad men, bnt had never
mentioned to anyone anything of
his history. Every effort is being
made to locate his family, as it is
generally understood that Capt.
Anderson leaves considerable
property.
"The latest venture 10 which
Captain Anderson entered was TO
build railroad from the mouth of
the Rio Grande River to the City
of Mexico. The road, as projected,
would be- short and direct line
to the Mexican capital by way Of
the Port of. Tampico. He had
obtained nearly all the concessions
necessary for building the road,
and was backed by a powerful
syndicate in New York"

If the amount of railroad talk one hears throughout the terri tory is any indication of a renewal of activity in the construction of new lines, there is reason to hope for the early building of one or two more north and south roads as we'll as an east and west trunk line. The territory is fla vorably situated in a geographic al sense to secure several through lines between the east and the Pa cifc coast. The greater part of the territory is below the snow belt and yet is not troubled with destructive floods, while there are few engineering difficulties to overcome. The rich and extens- sive valleys of the southern por- tion of the territory must neces- sarily contribute largely to the support of railroads. In the very nature of things they will event ually become densely peopled and export largely their immense fruit productions. The Gila val ley throughout the entire breadth of Arizona comprises an unoccu- pied field of railroad opportuni- ties that will prove very profita- ble to those who secure it. It is convenient to the settlements and to the mines and its future is sufficiently bright to attract the attention of the most con- servative railroad builders.

TIMING IN ARIZONA.
Robert MathewsOn Says the In-

The San Diego Tribune says: Robert Mathewson, a former San Diegan, and now superin- tendent of the Inglewood Mining company, which operates at Quartzite, Tysondistrict, Arizona, has returned to this city, and will spend eight or ten days here attending to the business of his company. MT. Mathewson says that mining operations throughout Arizona are very brisk, and that capitalists are becoming more and more inter- ested in their development. He says that the prospects for brill iant mining success were never better. Mining men now realize that Arizona is destined to be- come a great gold-producing state. The resources are prac- tically unlimited and only await development. There is an i'm mense field for discreet invest ment of capital. Quartzite is within ten miles of the Colorado river, and water can be had for mining purposes within six miles. The company with which MT. Mathewson is connected is going ahead with it's develop ment work and is satisfied with the results.

Proclamation of Reward.
Executive Department of Arizona,

Executive Department of Arizona, Office of the Governor. To All to Whom These Presents Shall
 Come, Greeting:
 Whereas, Official information has been received by this department that an atrocious murder was committed in the town of Yuma, this territory, on the 9th day of April, A. D. 1901, under cir cnmstances which call for the most wig orous effort by all officers and citizens who respect the good name of this commonwealth for good order to appre- bend and punish the guilty person or persons who committed the crime; and,
 Whereas, It appears that one Myron T. Alexander, prisoner, had been duly indicted, tried and convicted of the crime of murder, and the penalty for his crime had been fixed by the jury at imprisonment for life, pursuant to which verdict sentence had been duly passed by the court; and following said conviction and sentence Alexander was being taken to the Territorial Prison for confinement under due com mitment, by the sheriff and another officer of Yuma county, when said AL exander was shot and killed by some person or persons concealed in house ,near the street through which the off cers and their prisoner were passing; and,
 Whereas, the murderer of said Ale[- ander has so far eluded successfully the officers and has not been arrested; nor does it appear that persistent and wig orous effort is being made to make said arrest: and,
 Whereas, the crime was of such a nature as to be most abhOrrent to all law-abiding citizens, and injurious in the extreme to the good name of Ari- zona, and reflects most seriously upon our peace officers: for it matters not that the murdered man was a felOn: he had been fairly tried and convicted and sentenced and was within the custody of peace officers, and was just as much entitled to full protection of the law as he would be if he were innocent of crime.
 Now, therefore, I, N. O. Murphy, Gov ernor of Arizona, by virtue of the author ity in me vested, do offer a reward of Five Hundred Dollars for the arrest and conviction of the murderer or murder CTS of the said Myron T. Alexander, and Iurge all peace officers to do everything in their power to properly punish this outrage upon society and the dignity of the law.
 In Testimony Whereof, have here
 unto set my hand md caused the great seal of the Terri sEAL Phoenix, So nj G' the ieNSai Capital, this is
