CASTRO'S PLAN TO LAND
IN MEXICO is DEFEATED
Scheme for Expedition Against
Venezuela Is Discovered

CITY OF MEXICO. April 22.-Accord-
ing to story reaching this city today
from Progresso, port on the Yucca
tan coast, Cipriano Castro, former pres
ident of Venezuela, intended to make a
landing on the Mexican or Central
American coast and organize an ex-
pedition for descent on one of the
smaller ports of Venezuela. The vigi-
lance of the United States defeated
his plans, but a shipload of his fol-
lowers are yet awaiting him.
The discovery of the plot was un-
expectedly made by party of fisher
men who had been blown far off their
course. The fishing smack put in at a
cove in one of the islands which dot
the peninsula coast. They were sur
prised by a big vessel rounding near
by point. Her decks were crowded with
armed men.
The ship had no colors and the fish
ermen did not see her until she rounded
point in the inlet, so close that they
could hear the voices on board. Then
they hailed the ship and the latter
quickly put TO sea without firing.

of Rev. D. NJ. Rogers, who lost his life

A RISING YOUNG AUTHOR

The March number of The Bor- der contains an article by Max Salzman, Jr., entitled Geronimo, the Napoleon of the Apaches." The author is former Williams boy of whom the town may be justly proud. Not yet arrived at his majority, he shows promise as a writer. The story evidences individ- uality and character both as to research and expression. If you have not already done so, you should call at the Reading Room and read the article. The history of the great chief is traced in an interesting way and an estimate of his character given by Gen. Miles and others we'll informed. The sketch closes with an interesting interview with Antonio Apache, an educated and travelled citizen of Los Angeles, who is also a full blooded Apache. The next number of The Border will contain an article on the Moqui Indians by the same writer and it's publication is anticipated with pleasure.
 The Reading Room was formerly the home of young MT. Salzman. He was known in the local school as boy who made good use of his advantages. What he has accom- plished, other boys of Willia ms can do if they develop the love of the best reading. America has pro- duced men of letters and men use- full to their age in other ways who never had the advantage of lib- eral education, but she has pro- duced no men of letters and DO men who were useful to any degree who did not read we'll.

A PROSPECTIVE MILLIONAIRE

Dr. Townsville returned Sunday from the scene of the recent rich strike near Salome, bringing back with him some fine specimens of gold ore taken from one of the group of four claims in which he is interested. His partners are David Shear, one of the first men to reach the ground after the original dis covery was made; G. T. Cline, a banker and oil producer of Mancos, Colorado, and George Mardis of Phoenix.
 The doctor was very conservative in his statements, although he con- fidently believes that the discovery is one of the most important ever made in Arizona. The whole coun- try in that region is highly miner alized and all indications point to the belief that the ledge will enlarge and strengthen with depth, al though it is not expected that such values will continue as are being found at the surface. But little work has been done in the section and, therefore.all predictions as to the permanency of the veins are mere speculation. The character of the ore taken from the new find is similar Tn character to the crop pings of the famous Harqua Hala mine, Is miles distant.
 The properties in which Dr. Townsville holds interests are sit uated about four miles from the rich strike and on the same ledge Specimens of ore which were ex- hibited in Williams are from the Peg Mule, one of the locations, and the only one of the four on which any work has been done. The doc tor is also the entire owner of one claim. Water is scarce in the inn mediate vicinity of the mineral belt An ample supply can be had, how ever, from the railroad company's

FREIGHT RATE HEARING

Monday was the date set for the hearing of charges by the Conner ial club of Phoenix against the s. F.. A. T. & s. F., M. & F., s. F., P. & F., operating in Arizona. nearly all the eastern railroads being in volved. The hearing was held in Phoenix before Examiner Lyon of the Interstate Commerce commis- sion and great interest was mani tested. Representatives from the commercial bodies of Arizona were present, as we'll as from the prin- cipal cities of the coast. Phoenix is asking for a reduction and equal ization of transcontinental rates upon the same terminal basis with Los Angeles and San Francisco.
 A number of witnesses testified before the commission. The mer- chants of Phoenix who were called to the stand stated that the unjust discrimination against that city in high rates had resulted in great injury to their bushes, and cited instances where the rates on cattle from points in Arizona to Los An geles were in some cases one-third higher than from points in Idaho and Montana where the haul was much longer. Many other in- stances of discrimination against the territory were shown.
 The outcome of the investigation will be awaited with interest. The reduction of freight rates will have potent influence in promoting the welfare of every Arizona enterprise and in giving a vitalizing impetus to every branch of territorial in- dustry.
