STORIES OF YAQUI LAND
How the Indians Are Forced to Fight
 Against the Army.

Howard A. Miller and wife arrived here recently from an extended jour ney through Sonora. Mir. Miller is an observing man and picked up consider able information regarding the Yaquis along with other things. while moving around the country. Asked about the recent murder of Sullivan, the mining operator four miles from Hermosillo. whose Yaqui driver was also killed. Mir. Miller said it is the belief of Amer jeans that he was murdered by Mexican bandits and not by Yaquis. Since then another man was killed in the same section and eight mules were stolen. MT. Miller went from Hermosillo to Torres and from there to La Colorado by railroad. From the train the pas sengcrs saw an Indian hanging to tree. He had been dead several days and been left hanging as a warning to others. He says that when an insur- rection does break out, though, the Mexican officials are needlessly severe They will pick up all the Yaquis whether hostile or not, and either inn prison or kill them as a measure of prevention. He says that in one in- stance they killed s Yaquis and threw their bodies in an old mining shaft
 But what really gives the better Haquis more trouble than anything else is their own people. When trouble breaks out they are between two fires. They are immediately under the sus- picion of the Mexican officials. and at the same time they are liable to be im- pressed into service against the gov ernment by those of their own race As soon as trouble starts the hostile YaQuis sneak into the towns and cities and force all the able bodied men of their race that they can find, wherever employed or however peaceable they may be, to join them. Refusing to do 50 they are murdered. and in conse- quence there are few of them who re- fuse.
 Mir. Miller relates an incident in il- lustration of this fact. The agent at one of the railroad stations in Sonora is German American. He had d Yaqui servant who served him faith fully for seven years. He was a good man, at peace with the world. and de- sired to remain so. An insurrection broke out and the hostiles caught the peaceable countryman off his guard and forced him into the service. He went without protest, knowing that he would be killed if he refused, and feel ing there was some chance of escapine the bullets of the Mexican soldiers.
 In a subsequent battle he was des-

THE CASEY PROPERTY.

A gentleman direct from Dos Cabc- EOS last night stated that the Com deal for the big Casey prop critics has fallen through. The prop erty was bonded from the Caseys about two years ago by Tom Nyland and r. Scanlan. These gentlemen were par ties of limited means and soon found their resources inadequate to the task of developing the property up to their plans. About this time MT. Brockman took a bond from these gentlemen for S60. coo. McCourt & Geddis of Tucson contracted to run a 300- root tunnel at 7.50 per foot. but after driving about 1S0 feet found they could not make it stick and threw up the job Where upon Brockman threw up his lease. The first payment was to have been made by the Commonwealth people on the 18th of this month, but it is all off, which is unfortunate for the parties and the district. Mir. Brockman's ac- tion is thought by many to be due to heavy business enterprises in other di- rcctions, more than to any fault with the property. Messrs. Craft, Nyland and SCanlan may yet be able to place
 the property before their lease and
 bond eXpire.-Bisbee Review

TRAMP KILLER KILLED
Mexican Shot Countrymau and Was
 Killed by an American.

The Clifton Copper Era last week mentioned that a Mexican was shot near Pitts brick yard by another Mex jean, and brought to the Clifton hos pital for treatment, where he died Sat urday last. Before dying he stated that the man who shot him was evil .,ently crazy, as he had never seen him before. The stranger approached him and asked him if he was a tramp. stating that it was his business to kill tramps. The man replied that he was not a tramp. and had work at Clifton. This did not satisfy the tramp killer, who drew his gun and fired the fatal shot, then made his escape.
 On Friday last a Mexican with a shotgun and pistol arrived at Al Bishops camp in the -Mayflower dis trict, and asked for something to eat. It was given him, and after dinner he left the house and went to the pasture where there were some horses. MT. Bishop and two others followed him, thinking that he meant to get away with one of the horses. When they came near the pasture the Mexican took shot at MT. Bishop. MT. Bishop returned the fire. An inquest was held after the battle and MT. Bishop exon erated from all blame. At the inquest it was developed that the dead MeXi- can was the man who fired on the in offensive Mexican at Pitts brick yard. Mir. Bishop stated that the man acted very queer, and he now has no doubt that he was crazy, though at the time he thought he might be a fugitive from justice, and was nervous on that ac- count

 Aluminium is gradually creeping into the commercial and mechanical world. being preferable to iron, steel and copper for q multitude of purposes on account of the lightness and the fact that it is little subject to the action of the many elements and properties with which it is brought in contact in scientific culinary and other uses.

BIG MILL
LAYS OVER

A special from Boise to the Salt
Lake Tribune says:
III. Dewey returned last night from
trip to Pittspurg, where he went to
confer with his father and T. M.
Barnsdall on Thunder Mountain min
ing matters and the construction of
the wagon road. 1t was decided by
the company that, inasmuch a. tho
wagon road could not by any posi-
bility be constructed the entire dis
tauce to the mines this summer.
since the season is so late, it would
be inadvisable to let out any more
contracts for further portions of II
on account of the extra expense in
volved 10 building it piecemeal. The
company realizes that the building
Of the road Is going to be very cost
ly and figures that this cost can be
much diminished by letting the last
sixty miles, which is all hard road
to build, in one Iurge contract.
The 100-stamp mill which is most
~ Emmett, will all be taken there
and left this winter as it cannot be
taken into the mines until the wagon
road is completed. D. D. McDon-
aid, the freighter, who has been de-
Iivering the machinery to Scott's
ranch for the company, will return
to Nampa with his outfit.
Mr.. r. Dewey states that work
will be resumed on the wagon road
next May so that it can be completed
early in the summer Engineers
will be sent over it to complete the
surveys this summer and the con-
tractors will examine it for holding
purposes.
1t is not surprising that the mill
will lay over, as there is no wagon
road to haul it over. 1t is surpris-
ing that the road work will be post
poned until next May. Now is the
time to build it if they intend to.
They can nearly complete 1t before
snow and that is what should be
done. Work cannot be commenced
to advantage next May.

No Reform School Here

The Educational committee Of the
Woman's Columbian club intend to
take up the question of the establish
ment of reform, or industrial school
in this state as its chief study the
coming year, and will lay plans before
the coming legislature, asking it to
establish such a school. Mrs. Gamer,
state librarian, has number OF pam
phlets bearing ON the subject, and
these will be arranged and a meeting
of the committee will be held shortly
/ to formulate definite plans for the
line of action to be followed
Mrs. William Bryan, chairman of
the committee, is enthusiastic over
the proposition and states that infu-
ence will be brought to bear on the
next legislature to establish a school
of the kind in this state. At the
present time there Is no place where
erring youths Of either sex can be
kept, with the exception of the pen
itentisry. In nearly all large cities
there are "detentlon ward" connected
with the jails, where youthful offend
ers may be detained and not come
into immediate contact with hard
ened criminals.
Mrs. Bryan stated that no definite
plans have as yet been adopted.

of these institutions 10 detail, look

The Sigma! cannot move for the
reason that there is not an empty
building in town suitable for it.
The Signal would have been out of
DR.. Sleeves way had there been any
place to 60. With the need of more
buildings in Weiser, it is a remark
able fact that no money can be had
here for building purposes at rea-
sonable rates of interest The values
OF the town are substantial and the
security of city property ID not
questioned by anyone, unencumbered
ground in the business part of town
being margin Of one third to one
half of the value of the property
after adequate buildings are erected
thereon.
One bright promise of the water
works is that the Improvement will
bring in capital that can be obtsined
by parties who desire to build on
their business lots.
Judge Quarles, who purchased the
Fosselman lot, intends to put up 8
fine two-story (at least) brick in the
spring At the time of purchase
he impaired to the Signal that he
would hold the lot until such
time as he could fit the building with
light and water.
No one need be surprised to see
T. G. Galloway engaged, about this
time next year in the erection Of a
handsome hotel and an opera house.
He has plans id the process of ma
turing which will probably lead to
that.

ing plans which it is not at liberty
to divulge.
