TRANSVAAL MINES
 DEVELOP RAPIDLY
Railroad Will Furnish OutIet-6ig De-
 veIopment Planned.

Q. C Rasch. one of the large owners and member of'the boarJ of directors of the Transvaal Mining company. re- turned to Douglas last Wednesday. from the mines of his company, where he has been spending a week, says the Daily International He was accom- panied by II. C. Beauchamp, superin- tcndant at the mines. and they both left for Fl Paso last night. from where MT Rasch will gon on -o his home in Cincinnati.
 Speaking yesterday of the TransvaaI mines. MT Rasch stated that the de- voIopmcnt on the property during the last year had been most satisfactory and that he now regarded the Trans VaaI mines as one of the greatest prop critics in the state of Sonora. There is no longer doubt of the presence of immense ore bodies and the company now feels justified in turning their att tention to precautions for taking out the ore and reducing it to bullion. To do this t will be necessary tp build a narrow gauge railroad from Cumpas to the mines. a distance of twenty miles. for the economical hauling of the ore to the smeltcr at Cumpas. A con centrating mill will also be required for treating the lower grades of the ore, though there are vast quantities that will go direct from the mines to the ymeltcr which is already in operation lat Cumpas.
 or course the operation of this big mining enterprise must depend on the completion of the Southern Pacific from Nacozari to Cumpas, or the extension of the railroad now coming in the di- rection of the property from Cuaymas. via Tres. an ,eutorprise hacked by the Bank of Sonora The Tr1nsvd1l has the assurance already that the south crn Pacific will complete its line to Cumpas whenever assurance of ton mage is given and Nr Rasch stated that 1t was the expectation that the .Trausvaal would begin production with in year at least with all added equip wcut complete.
 There are other mines in the vicin- ity of the Transvaal that also give promise of becoming important pro ducers whenever railroad accommodate ton reaches Cumpas. including the Washington and Paunslvvauia compa- nics Tine starting of production in the Cumpas district will mean vast amount for Douglas. as the various en- tcrprises there would look to this city for supplies.

DINNER BELL IS RUEG BY
 SWANS.

7 There is a pretty story cold about
 the swans in the moat of the palace or the bishop of Wells. England. The old gatchouse. with its gray. ivy grown walls. still stands. and the
 swans sail up and down the dark waters of the moat. which centuries ago was a defense of the castle.
 The peculiar thing about these swans is that they ring a dinner bel. Whenever they are hungry and eN- 'p,ct to have it answered at once. A long string hangs out of the gate house window, and. as the story IS told. when the swans are hungry. the Header swims ug to the bell rope. pulls if. and then waits quietly for the lodge keepers wife to bring out her basket of bread
 It is said that 5O years ago the daughter of the bishop who lived there taught the swans this trick lwith great patience and care. The swans that have come since then have apparently in turn learned the secret iot the bell rope, SD that one who is able to perceive the connection be- tween the pulling Of the string and Ithe appearing of the bread basket has always been among them. That
 the swans communicate their demand for bread to their leader who is all ways the one to ring the bell. is evil dent from the fact that after the black swans were Introduced into
 the moat the ringing became SD fire quent that the hoUsekeepcr had to take the string in to secure a little peace Evidently the newcomers Were hearty Caters.-The Child's Hour

HELD TIE RANCH
 WITH 4 WINCHESTER JOSHUA SWEAT PROVED IT WAS NOT PLACER GROUND. Locator Charles Batre Lodged Com
 plaint Against Him.

Joshua Sweat. a typical frontiers man was brought to the sheriffs of flee yesterday on the complaint of Charles Batre. the mining man, charg- ing him with threatening his life sweat is the owner of a ranch on the Agua Fria opposite the mouth of Castle Creek. He was taken before Justice Parker who fixed his bond at $l .0U0 and set the case for hearing
 Sweat who is a mild appearing man of fifty-scven. yet one with whom the keen observer of human nature would not take unwarranted liberties. told his story of the affair at the shcrifrs office yesterday even ing.
 He said that while the territory in which he is located was a part of the reserve he squatted on 12o acres of rich land where he now lives. When that part of the reserve was detached and thrown open to entry he filed a homestead on the land he had occupied three years as a squattcr His application was made Ia year ago at the land office.
 Batrc he said had been locating aH that part of the country lying above him but did not intrude upon his holdings until last spring when the Ratre locations were spread over his farm Yet he noticed no monu- ments were put up until the early part of this week.
 Two men appeared or the ranch and erected monuments and put up a large notice in a barley field warn ing all and sundry persons against trespassirS on the "Almar R. Batre Placer Claim" Sweat was in the house and did not observe these I'm movements until his attention was called to them by his children. About the same time his wife saw the men. One of them was digging holes and the other had a gun slung across his arm sweat started out to interview them when his wife told him that he had better take his rifle and he did so
 Arriving at the sccre of industry Sweat said that one of the men was cutting a hole through about six feet Iof rich Soil and when Sweat asked him what he was looking for he said he was searching for pay dirt.
 Sweat told the men that they were working on farm and not on a mine. He said he had the place lhomesteaded and invited them to the house to see documentary proof. They did not care for proof for they said that they were working under the instructions of Batre who said that l it was placer claim.
 II was at this point that Sweat lceased pacific methods and escorted the men about the place and oversa W
 the removal of the monuments and lthe traspass notice and when these things had been obliterated he told the
 men to obliterate themselves as to this piece of ground and stay ob- Liberated
 He also sent message by them to Eatrc. The purport of it was that If Sweat ever caught that irdiscrim-
 mate locator on his farm he would
 kick him off That. Sweat. says. is
 the only threat he made and that | in his dealings with his agents ho
 did not present his rifle in a rude Ior threatening manner but merely told them to do certain things and
