Big Wyoming Dam.

The ShoshOne river dasheS down a marrow canyon, with jagged and per pendicular walls, and at its narrow est point the government has begun the construction of the highest dam ever built. It will cement together the two canyon walls for 24O feet above the stream bed and it's founda- tion will go 88 feet additional down to the solid bed rock. The stream, where it passes between these canyon walls, is but 65 feet wide and the dam will form a great lake of 5000 acres, with a watershed of 1,25O square miles, and storing enough water to irrigate 15O,OOO acres through seven miles of l4-foot tunnels bored in the solid rock:
 This will cost about S25 an acre to be paid back to the government by the settlers under the business like provision of the irrigation law. The land itself is free under the home stead act and has been reserved by Secretary Hitchcock from entry un- der the desert and other land laws not requiring actual residence and home building.-St. Johns Herald

Alaska Rich in Cooper.

Harry Bratnober, mining expert, has discovered in unexplored Alaska what he says is without doubt the richest copper district in the world. To reach it he built a steamship and ascended the Panama river, 300 miles above Fairbanks. At Scoll Pass he found region hundreds of miles in width filled with great ledees of metallic copper.
 On White river were found slabs of pure copper four feet wide, two feet long and two inches thick. Veins containing shot and nugget copper are 300 to 500 feet wide, carrying 10 to 30 per cent. copper. The forma- tion is amigaloid or greensboro like that of the Lake Superior copper mines.
 Vast quantities of copper were found at the foot of the hills, where greensboro has decomposed and the copper was washed into ravines.
 Bratnober is believed to be backed among others by Ferdinand Peck, of Chicago, and the Havemeyers, of New York.

Unprovoked Murder at Silver Bell Camp

J. F. White, Dave Hawkins, w. J. Warren and R. J. Cockrane, while re- turning from the saloon known as Webster's place all Silver Bell about 1l:30 one night last week were met by party of three Mexicans, one of whom, according to report, deliber- ately opened fire on the Americans Without warning, killing Hawkins instantly and fatally injuring White, who died the next da% The assault occurred about half way between Webster's and Harrells saloon.
 The darkness and the suddenness of the attack prevented any ac- curate description of the murderer being obtained though the witnesses declare positively they could identify hip. After the shooting the Mexi- cans ran down tbe gulch and out of the flat toward Red Rock. Ranger Burdett was summoned to the scene and Started in pursuit, but the mur- derer made good his escape under cover of the darkness and is still at large.
 The murdered men both have good regulations and were not intoxicated at the time of the murder Both were in the employ of the Imperial Copper company and had been in the camp for about six weeks.
 Several rumors are afioat as to the motive of the deed. It is currently reported that one of the men had some trouble with the Mexicans in the mine few days ago, and many be- lieve the tragedy of last night to be the outcome of this. The camp is quiet today but there is strong un- dercurrent of feeling against the 1nI1rderer

Editors are the first to hear of neighborhood gossip or scandal, in- discretion of men and women, things unfit for publication, intrigues, clandestine meetings, of young girls gone astray, firtations of married women. and of married men, and in fact all scandal of the town. Editors generally know all the naughty do ings in a community, no matter how secret. If only half they hear was published, divorce suits might follow in some cases, shotgun and gore, inn prisonment, lynching, desolate homes humiliation and misery. The editor learns of all the shame and hy- pocracy of life without the asking He is often almost compelled to lis ten to the tales of woe. One will tell the editor and then beg of him not to mention it. Another will tell the editor and offer to pay him if he will only publish it.

THE SOUTHWESTERN
 WILL EXPAND RAPIDLY.
It is Said That l50 Miles Will be Saved on Coke and Coal Tonnage by
 New Route.

The Review learns from sources that ought to be reliable that it is likely the Southwestern system is now looking to the building of an- other cutoff on their lines; and sur veyors are now in the field surveying a line from either Jdrilld or Alamo gordo, via Las Cruces to Deming. 4 corps of surveyors is at work on such a line, and while it is not positively known that they are in the employ of the Southwestern, that is the only logical conclusion. It is stated that the cutoff from Alamogordo to Dem- ing, where a connection would be made with the Den1ing branch of the Southwestern, would shorten the dis tance between Bisbee and Alamo gordo fully 15O miles. The saNi lg of 150-mile haul for all the coke which the Southwestern will bring to the mines in southern Arizona and So- nora from Dawson would be an obs ject justifying of such a line.
 Another thing which would make a saving in distance between Alamo= gordo and Bisbee would De the short= ening of the new Rock island route to the coast by l5O miles. Soon af= ter the Southwestern purchased the Northeastern the report came from Fl Paso that the Rock Island limited was to take the Southwestern route between Fl Paso and Benson. This report was contradicted by the rail- road officials and nothing more has recently been heard of it, though there are those who believe the re- port was in accord with what will happen in the future.-Bisbee Re- view

New Type of Engine for Southern

The Sotthern Pacific has recently ordered new7-tSype of engine never before seen on western roads. It is called balanced compound and has an extra cylinder in the middle of the saddle of the engine. This arr engagement gives working steam all the time and obviates and dead point in the working of the engine. The locomotive has been used with great success by the Pennsylvania and New York Central in making long runs with their limited passenger trains, and 90 miles an hour has been made without the least difficulty for long distances. The locomotives will be used first on the California divisions, probably on the coast, and will be sent all over the system if satisfac- tory.-Tucson Post.

he hurried to Suaqui Grande with the news of the massacre.
 The Mexican newspapers are, as usual, very conservative and guard ed in their remarks, and seldom criti- else, even by Inference, the actions of those in power. Recently, how ever; Fl Correo de Sonora, published at Sonora, plainly asserts that lack of energy on the part of the military authorities and further states that, for sonic reasons unknown, the poor people living in the Yaqui infested districts, are afraid to tell half what happens.
 Millions of dollars of American capital is invested in the mining dis tricts of Sonora that are now prac- tically at the mercy of the Yaquis. In many cases it will be impossible to remove the machinery to places where it will be guarded and there is now great danger of machinery, buildings and other improvements on mining properties being left in sec tion of the country controlled by the Indians. The pretenencia tax on the properties must be paid, whether there is any work done or not, and as many of the smaller companies are operating on capital from the east ern states, the capitalists there who have already sunk fortunes in some of the mines, fear to put in more while there is no chance to operate the properties, thus taking chances of losing all that is now invested.
