THE ROAD CAMP TROUBLE.

The situation at the road camp this morn ing does not seem to be improved. Notwith standing the assurance from State Engineer Atwood that ''the atmosphere has been clear ed, and the sunshine of satisfaction is throw ing its genial rays over the hostile convict camp, and the charm of the new captain of guards who has been placed in charge of the force the convicts are still idle in the stock ade and refuse to go to work. Several were brought in this morning in charge of a couple of guards for medical treatment When questioned the guards stated stall was lovely at the camps, and no trouble had ever exist edo But he admitted that the convicts were net at work.
 Information reached this office from re- liable source this morning that very little work had been done on the roads this week, while tke convicts were laying around living on the best food that this market affords. In the meantime Greenlee county is defraying its proportion of the expense to maintain these idle convicts. The same source of information gives evidence of the lack of discipline out there. Last night the men passed the major portion of the night playing poker, nor would they extinguish the lights when commanded to do so. It is also said that the convicts re- fused to go out to work this week, saying that they would Ego out Monday if they felt like it.''
 Matters have reached a pretty pass in Ari- zona when convicts can thus defy the author ity of the state with impunity and get away with it. Such insubordination must be due to comfort given by men who have been placed in authority It evidently results from having an l. w. w. organizer one of the guards. It is barely possible that convicted men would issue their defy to those above them unless they had received encouragement,
 With this state of things no one can be surprised at an outbreak at any time, and un- less better discipline is maintained the tax payers should demand that the Board of Su- pervisors insist on the state taking its 'tpets" back to the walls of the penitentiary
 But MT. Atwood who has been on the ground, and had the whole situation in hand, assures the public that everything is lovely,' that Engineer Barlow was still with the road, and while that gentleman is not talking for publication, he refused to deny or confirm the rumor that he had resigned, yet the rumor is prevalent that he is no longer with the outfit. To say the least, the situation is one that needs the strong hand of authority to restore dis cipline, but few there be who believe any of the state officials in authority will resort to drastic measures to bring order out of chaos. The evidence of that pacific relations that MT. Atwood speaks of is conspicuous by its ab- sence.

ing American ammunition from American made guns and many wear ing the stolen uniforms of the Mex ican federal soldiers, charged across the border, circled the homes of the settlers firing vollcy after volley into their adobe ranch houses and killing everyone who could not find cover.
 The raid on the Britc ranch was typical of the outlaw methods of these raiders. Fording the Rio Gran dc from Mexico, 90 of these Mexican bandits rode 25 miles across the bar rcn desert country to the nearest ranch settlement which was the home, store and postoffice of the l. C. Brite cattle ranch. The MeXicans were careful to ascertain that no American soldiers were cncampcd on the ranch. This was done the night before by sending a deaf and dumb boy to the ranch on the pretext of finding em- rloyment. He asked permission to camp there for the night and lighted camp fire which was, Tn reality, a signal fire to the bandits waiting on the top of Rim Rock which rises from the level plain like giant shell.
 The women in the ranch houses were preparing breakfast when the Mexicans opened fire. riding in cir cle about the houses and outbuildings. Lying on the floor to avoid the high powered bullets which crashed through the windows and doors, the ranchmen fired volley after volley al ;he raiders, their women loading their rifles as fast as they were cmptied
 Finally the leader of the band fell with a bullet through his brain and

SECOND ALASKA JUST
 ACROSS THE BEHRING

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 26-Ovcr- throw of recognized. government in Russia las halted efforts to stimulate trade between the natives and settlers of the northeastern stretches ot Si- bcria ringing the Boring Sea and the Arctic Ocean and the merchants ot Nome. Alaska, and Seattle.
 There is a second pioneer Alaska lying across the Boring in Siberia, as serts !. L.. McPhcrson, secretary Of he Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, who has talk on leading part in the commercial movement.
 While little authentic information is available regarding the provinces of Kamchatka and lakutsk, which arc in the northeastern portion oi Siberia we do know that there arc mines and furs and fish across there and that the best place for ,hc Siberian miners and ;rappgrs and fishermen 10 trade is Nome. He continued. The Rus- sian ports are all too far away.
 Specific aims Of the campaign were to induce the Russian government to establish custom house al East Cape. Siberian point on Bcrlng Straits, i50 miles from Nome or to throw open the Siberian coast from Cape Navarin to the Kolyma river to free anl unrestricted trade, excepting liquors.
 Nt present the most northcriy Si- bcrian custom house iS l.5oO miles southwest of Nome at Pctropavlosk. the capital oi Kamchatka province, situated near the southern end oi the Kamchatka peninsula.
