MEXICO STILL SAFE.
Captain" Thomas Espinosa Goes to
 the Penltentiary.

A special to the Arizona Repub- lican from Tombstone, dated Decem- Der 27th. says:
 Thomas Espinosa, convicted in the United States court on Monday of the crime of organizing military ex- pedition to invade Mexico while this country was at peace with the Repub- lie was sentenced by Judge Doan this afternoon to serve term of two years in the territorial penitentiary at Yu- ma and to the payment of a fine of 5000. Attorney Gilmore who repre- sented Mir. McGowan, the defendants attorney, gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court The trial of Espi- nosa brought the fact of revolution ary organization that had its head quarters at St. Louis for the purpose of arming bodies of men for invasion of Mexico. The same testimony was developed at the trial of the revolu. tionists that are now being tried at San Antonio, Texas
 Two of the revolutiorists arrested at the Mowry caAp in Santa Cruz cou nty few days previous to the arrest of Espinosa and Martinez at Douglas were taken to Nogales and turned over to the Mexican authori- ties. They were Salcido and Vilareal and since they were turned over re. ports have come from HermosIllo to the effect that they had been shot by the officers at the prison.
 Some of the letters that were intro duced at the trial were very interest ing reading and showed to what extent the revolutionary organization had been perfected. The .junta at St. Louis through it's agent, Magon, kept all of the different liberty clubs, as they were called, posted as to the movements that were being made all along the llne and sent each officer of the club theIr commissions as captains, etc., in the army which was to he. The exhibit filed in the case here consisted of number of issues of the paper published by the junte at St. Louis, six shooters, several stacks of giant powder, box of giant caps and a number of banners, etc.
 The trial of Martinez, who was jointly indicted with Espinosa. has been continued until the next term of . the district court. He was released on his own recognizance in the sum of $500 The case against Martinez is not as strong as 1t was against Els pinosa as letters were found on Els pinosa direct from the junta at St Louis giving him commission, while Martinez was only a member of the club.

WILL DAM SANTA CRUZ.
Proposition to Reclaim 5O,OOO Acres
 of Good Land.

Early in January the United States gauging station on the Santa Cruz river, about seven miles from Nogales, to ascertain the average yearly water flow, with view to ascertaining capacity and cost of reservoir for the recla nation of Santa Cruz valley lands.
 At the point selected there is one of the most feasible dam -sites in the southwest It was surveyed by Coun ty Surveyor C. E Perkins, who furn- ished the Santa Cruz county super visors with an estimate of the cost of establishing the dam and description of the site, several years ago.
 In the report Captain Perkins states that the bedrock of solid granite lies at an average of four and seven -tenths feet from the surface and in the river bed proper the rock crops out, exposed on the surface. It is at place where the river has cut it's way between two large hills. A natural spillway for the proposed reservoir is formed by the contour of the hills on the north ern side, at the seventy-foot level, or nearly 90,000 acre feet of water if filled to that level.
 Mir. Howard s Reed, of the United States reclamation service, who visited the site of the proposed dam last week, says that nowhere in Arizona has he seen place where a reservoir can be constructed so easily ard so cheaply; where nature, to such great extent, has done already the preparatory work, even to providing a Datural spiilway at proper distance from the dam site.
 Captain Perkins, in his report to the county supervisors. estimated that ths cost of the proposed dam would be about $l30,000, if built partly of rock work and partly of earthwork.
 Even should the dam cost $250, 900, Mr. Reed of the reclamation service believes, it would be wonderfully profta ble investment.
 The money invested ny the govern ment in constructing the reservoirs Is paid back by the settlers in install ments stretching over period of ten years Should a dam on the Santa Cruz river at the point surveyed cost $250,000 and reclaim. 5O,0O0 acres of land, cost of the land reclaimed would be only S5 per acre, to be paid for in installments of fifty cents per acre per year. And nowhere in the country is there more fertile land than in the great Santa Cruz Valley.
 Captain Perkins estimate of the cost of the proposed dam did not in clude the cost of the property on the reservoir site. nor the expense of in stalling outlet gates and other acces- sories, which, added to the estimate, would bring the cost of the reservoir, fully established, to figure somewhat higher than the rough estimate, but still so low as to make the investment one of great profit
 The gauging station will be establish ed by Mir Reed in person, who will return to Nogales within the next ten days for that purpose. The Nogales and Santa Cruz County Board of Trade has taken the matter up and will see that the gauging is properly attended to every day throughout the year. When the necessary statistics have been compiled the Board of Trade vii! do everything possible to bring about the construction of the dam.
