The Territorial Prison.

Captain Thomas Rynning, super intendent of the territorial prison, is expected here this morning to confer with the board of control relative to the inauguration of work on the new prison at Florence, says The Phoenix Republican.
 In point of population, the prison is making a more notable increase than any other institution or locality in the territory. This results from the fact that during May the prison received a large part of the product of the spring term of court in each of the five judicial districts, SO that the ratio will not continue. If it did, the new prison would be overcrowded be- fore it was finished. During the month of May sixty six new court- made coHvicts were added to the stock on hand, which was already quite large and we'll assorted both as to the character of crimes committed to make them eligible and as to nationality.
 Eight convicts, however, were dis charged either by parole or expiration of sentence, SO the net increase for the mont: was fifty eight The aver age "atten dance" as it is expressed in the records, was 4O6 That word "attendance" in this case is quite sug- gestive, and it is an open question if 'enrollment" or some similar word might not be more accurate. From such information as has leaked out of the pen from time to time, it has been popularly supposed that the attend ance of those entitled to be present and answer roll call, is pretty nearly perfect. There might be an absentee once in a while, but nobody is ever tsrdy.

 Three years ago the surveyor gen. eral was instructed by the department to proceed to the field and take testi- mony as to the merits in the selection of this float, the question to be deter mined being whether the land was unoccupied and not known to be min eral at the time of selection. In ac- cordance with these instructions the surveyor general put in the month of November. 1905, going over the ground throughly and taking the testi- mony of all available witnesses, and after a thorough examination deter mined that the selection was made by Watts when he know the land to he occupied and to be very valuable in mineral deposits, and therefore de- termined that the selection |as made in order to hold the rich mineral de- posits, for a future generation, that could not be worked at that time owing to the war-like Apache. He therefore reported to the department that in his judgment the selection of Baca Float No, 3 was conceived in frand and it should be rejected in it's entirety, and in the recent decision of the Secretary of the Interior his report has been approved in every detail. The report of the surveyor general would make very interesting reading if space would permit it's publication, owing to the fact that it contains the evidence of the oldest settlers of Santa Cruz county, a generation which is now fast passing away and will soon be extinct.

Story of the Tramp Steamer
Continued from page 8

work he actually was obliged to have his ship
lowed into deep water.
The Jane Burrell had been long time from
her home port, and the crew imagined that they
would return there from Philadelphia. There
were general murmurings of discomfort when
it was learned that she had cleared for South
America with cargo of coal. with the prospects
of going thence to Java for sugar. At the
Delaware Capes they refused duty, on the
ground that the ship was leaking and unsea-
worthy. This being a recognized complaint
the Captain was obliged to arrange for a sur
vey, with the result that such condition
was found to exist.
In the morning he ordered the ship to sea
but no response was given. The engine room
force were loyal and at their posts. but the
coal passers and firemen were numbered among
the indictments. and there was no steam.
Captain Robertson then thoroughly illustrated
his Unborn ability to cope with a situation
that. to say the least. unpleasant. He
signaled the tug Ivanhoe, which was at the
capes after having towed vessel down the
river to put hawser aboard the Jane Burrell
As the sailors would not lend hand to make
this fast, it became necessary for the Captain
and his officers to attend to the duty. He then
whistled for the Ivanhoe to tow the Jane to sea
beyond the three-mile limit over which the
United States claims jurisdiction.
Make it seven miles, he shouted to the
skipper of the tug. and then cut me adrift

When this was done and the Jane lay rolling
alnleSSly. with cape Henlopen hight tar aStern.
CaptainRobertson. revolver in hand. addressed
the men gathered forward in characteristic
fashion: My lads. you have been the sea
long enough to know that country indicating
with wave of his hand the sand dunes of the
Jersey coast hasn't anything to do with this
matter now. I've got you where l want YOU
on the high seas.-where there is only one boss.
and that is myself l will give you three min
utes by this watch, and every man that has not
returned to his appointed duty in that time
will be filled full of lead as mutineer. Co.
There a moments hesitation, and the
crew slowly dispersed. A short while later the
Captain of the Ivanhoe. who still fingered
curiously in that vicinity, saw the smoke belch-
ing from the funnel of the Jane while she swung
lazily into her southern course. About three
weeks later shipping circles were relieved to
learn that she had arrived safely at her destina-
ton, with no untoward occurrence to report.
When the tramp finally terminates her
voyage and has been discharged, she is thor
oughly out of job. Her future is uncer-
tain. She may be sent to China. Calcutta. the
west coast of South America. anywhere else
in the navigable world. The life of the officers
and crew is rough. because the owners. with
few exceptions. don't care about spending
money on useless embellishments. and those
on whom it might be well conferred never
having known comfort don't miss it. The
average life of the tramp is thirty years. and
in this time she pays for herself many times
over.

six thousand bushels was put aboard once in
Philadelphia in seven hours Sometimes as
many as eight spouts are used from the elevator
to the vessel and the grain thunders into the
hold with the speed and noise of an avalanche,
the ship visibly sinking in the water during the
process.
Meantime the Captain and his agents are
attending to the various clearance require
ments of the ship. The custom house officials
watch the grain going in. and when all is stored
and the matches closed, they return manifest
to their department. Up to this time the
Captain of the Redmond has had little to do
with all these transactions. except to bring his
vessel safely into port to load. When he re-
ceives his clearance papers, however he at once
becomes the all pervading personality. Pre-
yious to this he has signed documents acknowl-
edglng the receipt OF SO much gram IN appar-
ent good condition, and Others IN winch he
has obligated himself to deliver it in the same
condition. barring collision. fire. shipwreck,
piracy, or stranding. etc He has also bills
of lading and innumerable certificates from
welghers and inspectors. not the least I'M
portant of which relates to the seaworthy
condition of the ship itself to undertake the
voyage.
The Problem of the Crew
THE question of the crew often becomes
seriou, problem before the tramp
finally weigh anchor. As tramp seldom
her home port inside of three years, it is hardly
to be expected that the sailors will remain con-
tent with her wandering lot during that entire
period. On reaching the first port some OF
them drop out, and more at the next. SO that
after a year only the officers of the original
complement remain. In consequence it Is not
at all unusual to tramp manned entirely
by Chinese. and in some cases by Malays and
Lascars, which the Captain has been obliged
to ship in the far East.
The latter nationalities not allowed to
land in this country and when a tramp with
such a crew arrives at one of our ports to load,
she is subject to the closest scrutiny by the
United States officials to prevent any of the
men deserving.
1t is a source of wonder to the layman that
the officers. comparatively few in number,
will trust themselves at sea with these often
desperate Asatics; but they do not SO regard
it. The Captain is absolute and supreme on his
ship while on the high seas and the English
maritime law is such that it practically 81 YES
him the right to take human life to quell a
mutiny.
THAT the Captains feel full security in the
knowledge of the power that they have
right to exercise was never better illustrated
than in the of the Jane Burrell whose story
has been permanently identified with the
nails of Philadelphia shipping. In this case
Captain Robertson was practically alone at
the head of mutinous crew; but his supreme
self confidence allowed him to start six
thousand-rnile voyage to the Argentine Repub-
lie, when through the refusal of the men to
