Wonderful Locomotive.

There is building at the Corliss en- zine works in Providence, R I, g locomotive for the Southern Pacific railway. which is expected to revol- utionize the motive power of railroad ing. The new locomotive Is smokeless and waterless- It needs no coal. drops no ashes, makes no smoke and hurls no cinders. Given a clear track, 1t is expected ts draw 20OO-ton train from New York to San Fra ancisco without e single stop. and this at the rate of 100 to 12O miles an hour
 The locomotive can carry ample fuel for the entire trip of 5000 miles. The power is furnished by cembins- tion of compressed air, electricity and fuel oil A peculiar type of engine hitherto only used in stationery en- zines. is being applied to road ma chine and startling results are autici- pated.
 In this marvellous new machine there is a sm III engine which will be used to drive a dynamo. This pro vides the electrical power.

INVESTIGATION PROGRESSES.
Rev. Moffit investigating Condition
 of SacatOn Indians.

The long talked of investigation of the Indians of the Sacaton reservation has been in progress since Tuesday, says the Republican It was institu ted at the investigation of the Pres byterian Missionary society of New York, whose represen tative IS Rev T 0. Moffit. It had been represented to the society that the Indians of this reservation were Tn a starving condl- ton, and that since the first of the year many of them had actually died of starvation. The matter was laid before the Interior department but it happened that shortly before that the ommissIoner of Indian Affairs in the course of tour of the agencies. had visited Sacaton. He infornei the de partment that he had heard of no suf- fering, and 1t seemed that that would bs the end of it But the society would be satisfied with nothing less sure was 1t that the condition of the Indians was deplorable that the sec retary of the society teIegrap phed Agent J. B. Alexander, asking him to wire the society and inform 1t of the mount of money that he would need to relieve the Indians and it would be forwarded at once. Mir. Alexander replied that he knew of no Indians in need of relief
 The case was laid before President Roosevelt, and, perhaps, for the sati.- faction of the society. an investigation was ordered This was about three months ago.
 Commissioner Jones arrived at the agency iast Monday morning. and it was expected that he would be met that evening by a commission from the society. This comrnisson, however did not reach the agency until the follow ing day. It was composed of Dr. Sprague, a representative of the New York society. two gx=1<S cd with the society in WsshInston. and Rev. Mir. Moffit, of the Tucson mission.

THE CLIFTON ORPHANS.
4 Sensational Story Re9ardln< the
 Disposition of Them

An Associated Press dispatch yes terday. having its origin in Prescott said that Governor Brodie on the order of the president had gone to Clifton to investigate the affair of the 40 children brought there from New York who had been placed in improper hands. and to take possession of the children not already disposed of It was added that the governor apPrehensive of trouble had instructed Captain Ryn- nIng of the Rangers to be in readiness for trouble.
 It may be said that while the gover nor did 20 to Clifton the main purpose of his visit WAS not to look into the matter of these children and he IS act ing upon no order. The case of the children which has been extensively described by the papers of the south ern part of the territory is still being agitsted in the east and the matter was laid before the president. Cover Brodie happened to be in Washinsto" about that time and the president asked him to make an investigation eff the case
 He will do that on the occasion of his present visit but it is not his pur- pose as stated in the dispatch to take any action regarding the children. This subject is before the probate court Of Graham county, having been taken there by persons who desire to adopt the children who had been taken out of the possession of the Mexican families with whom they had original ly been left. The only thing that will by the governor will be an informal report on the condition of the children
 It was claimed by the indi sns Tt residents of Clifton and MorencI at the time the children were brought there that they were put into the hands of the lssr persons in the world M.ny of the fz zmiiies %efs soo poor to care fer their osn children and some of the families were absolute and even criminal
 It Is saId that one of the children was left with a woman with whom four men were living, and that another was given to woman of the town That child was little more than a bal and the woman. who frequented the lower saloons of the place, took 1t witt her and was making he.dway in teach ] ing 1t to drink beer, when It was taker out of her hands.

The Warren District.

Few people, even in Bisbee. realize the great advancement. which is now assured for this city and the Warren 0ining district, says the Bisbee Re view, In Douglas the smelters now smelting the ores from this district are unable to reduce the ore which is com ing out of the Copper Queen and Calu- met X Arizona mines. It Is known & Arizona directors were recently iR Bisbee, to very soon begin the work of increasing the smeiting plant at Doug las. Another furnace has been order ed to be constructed in the plants as soon as possible. There is a we'll grounded opinion that in less than ono year the smelter of the Calumet & Ari- zoaa will be doubled in capacity. That will mean the doubling of the number of mines now working in the properties of the Bonanza Circle m the Warren district. The Copper Queen Company Is known to be short sz,elting capacity required to accommodate the ore which continues to be raised daily to the surface in this district. This company will soon commence the erection sf additional furnaces at their Douglas plant and when these are ready for commission more men will go into the mines owned by this company in ths Warren district.
