The Yuma Extension Southern Pacific
 Railroad.

From time to time we have been Yuma Extension of the Southern Pacific railroad, but until very lately nothing definite has been known here of its progress, or much about its be- ginning. As q matter of fact, it is d line through the Imperial country from san Diego to Yuma. At pres ent large force of men are at work pushing the line eastward. Speaking of the new road the Calexico Chroni- Clc says:
 Prom the International lines at Calexico and Mexicali, the Yuma ex- tension of the Southern Pacific bears southeastward. about nine miles: thence east. This southerly course appears to be for two reasons. either of which is so good that it is hardly worth while to mention the other. lSt. That much southing is necessary to get by the sandhills. that are the banc of the company's line in this state. I'd. 1t takes the road into the cream of the rich lands of Cali fornia-Mexico Land X Cattle Co.,, which promises great business for it.. been contracted for distance of twenty-cight miles.
 ''of this distance, about seven miles i> already graded, and grading proceeding at the rate of three miles q week.
 Material for the first five miles is here.
 "Tracklaying has not kept up with grading, because of couple of bridges near town. The road crosses New river twice within d mile and thrce-quartcrS, and in both instances extensive bridges, have to be made The first bridge, three-quarters of d mile from the llne, is 100 feet long. and the second d mile further. 3O9 feet long.
 "Tracklaying to the first bridge was long ago completed. Beyond that, its progress had to wait for the bridge. That bridge being finished. tracklaying over and beyond it was resumed last week.
 The whole twenty-eight miles is expected to be finished in four months.
 In the distance are several bridges aggregating near 2500 feet. The longest, aside from those over New river, is that over Beltran Slough. sixteen miles from the second bridge"

Charges Mexicans With Murder of Mem.
 Der of Ambushed Minin6 Party.

Herbert l.. Miller, one of the party which was in Sonora when four Americans were killed near Cabachi. presumably by Yaquis on January l9. made the following statement:
 "We are paying taxes in that coun- try,' he said, ''and we want to keep this agitation up so that life and property will be safe in the future. In support of this I have prepared an affidavit setting forth the circum- stances in full. and copy of this has been forwarded to the state depart ment, also to the Secretary of the Navy. who is d personal friend of one who was killed. John Kenneth Nc Kenzie. whom you will recollect as one of the victims of the ambush, is q mining expert, and stands very close to John w. Gates and other prominent men of Chicago and the east. gen erally speaking"
 MT. Miller, while he claims Los An geles as his home, is really from Chi cago. as he is the representative of the Chicago Pnuematic tool company, and consequently travels about on the road most of the time. He does the majority of his business with the various railroads, selling them differ ent sorts of mechanical Contrivances, and is well known throughout the west.
 ! The affidavit spoken of makes the rather startling assertion that the author believes the Mexicans are re- 1 sponSiblc for the assassination, as the soldiers of that country are notC- riously bad marksmen, according to the document, and from the fact that there were something like sev- eral hundred shots fired from the am bush, of which only seventeen took effect, the whole business being at very close range-frOm thirty to ninety feet, in the judgment of the affidavit, and from the fact that there were upwards of thirty Mexican troops within few miles of the con- fiict, who, instead of, pursuing the murderers, returned to La Colorado, and from the additional fact that the rcnegades were armed with Mauser rifles, which Is the arm of the Mexi- can troops, MT. Miller is confident that the MexiCans were the authors of the outrage, although he admits further along in the paper that in the interview with Governor Torres. that functiOnary told him that the Yaquis could not buy any arms in Mexico of the description spoken of, and stated that they had gone across the line and bought them from the Americans, wherefore, the Americans were to blame themselves if they were killed by their own guns.

Yuma Banker is Arrested by Texas or. ficerS.

. R. ;. Patterson. cashier O. the de- funct bank of Yuma, was arrested last week in Texas on a warrant from this territory, charging him with em- bezziement with the affairs of the bank 4 requisition for the arrest of Patterson was issued by Gov. Kibbey q week ago. but at that time 1t was not known where he was, though he was believed to be in Kansas. It was not generally known that criminal proceedings were to be begun against him. though civil suit was pending against him and his associates in the bank.
 The bank of Yuma failed early last fall in the most informal manner. Patterson, who had been in the east the greater part of the summer, be- fore leaving left the bank in charge of ". A. Bowles. of Yuma. There was not d great deal of banking business to be done as MT. Bowles soon learned. but there was nothing to do it with. Mr. Bowlcs. however, stayed with this peculiar job until carly in the fall and when he could stand it no longer he closed the bank without extensively announcing his intended action to the people of Yuma. He merely neglected to open for business at the accustomed hour one morning. But he wrote the ter ritorial auditor about it and told him where he could find the key if he de sired to make an investigation of the affairs of the bank. Then he went to the coast for much needed rest.
 The auditor found q fruitful field of investigation nothing moreno cash. A great deal of money appeared to have been Carclessly loaned and most of it consisted of the small savings of the farmers in the country about Yuma. It was generally thought at the time that the unfortunate condi- tion of the bank was the result of in competence and ignorance of the banking business.
 Patterson first came to public mo- tice as an attorney at Stafford. He was well known throughout the upper Gila valley and was liked. When the Spanish-AmeriCan war broke out he joined the Rough Riders and became q lieutenant of Troop C. He re- mained at Stafford only d short time after the close of the war and went tp Nurn1 where he eStd bliShp0 the bank. It was understood that he was backed by his fathcrin-law, q man of great rcputed wealth. He was the president of the bank, but it is the management of it.

Nine bars of bullion passed through Silver City last week from Mogollon, where they were the result of d twenty-eight days run in the Concen- trator and cyanide mill of the Ernes- tine Mining Co.,, on ore from the Last Chance mine, the property of the company. The bullion weighed 1 300 ounces and carried heavy values in gold. Indeed a conserva- tive estimate on the value of the gold and silver bars has been placed at Sl3,0Oo. Supplies of cyanide and other material are being hurried out to the mill, which was compelled to close down by reason of the inability of the management to freight their supplies from Silver City, owing to the bad and altogether unprecedented weather. Mir. Craig will leave for Mogollon the first of next week and operations will be resumed soon there after. The following article on the Mogollon district was crowded out of last weeks issue. The statement of MT. Craig regarding the scarcity of supplies in the district, owing to the floods in the Gila, which rendered it unfordable, is CorrobOrated by A. c.

that If they will buy Defiance Cold

will save not only time, because 1t
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 ozone full
pound--while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the PRICE is the same. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance,
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
