When Garcia was arrested
and searched he had 36 cakes OF
chocolate with him, eighteen OF
which were cleverly concealed in
the false work of his machine
the others being secreted on his
Iperson. When a search was
made, a cache of 284 cakes OF
chocolate was found, which he
would have had on the other
side in a short time at the rate
he was working.
Gallego's speciality was cloth
ing. He has been working for
the Sonora News company as
news agent on the Guaymas
train, and his method was to
take orders for clothing, with
measurements, order the clothes
from Chicago, get them out of
the express office and, putting
them on over his own suit,
mount his wheel and hurry
across the border, picking the
goods up and taking them with
him by train to Guaymas.
When arrested he had two
suits on over his own, and his
room at the Arizona Hotel hel(
eight more suits. He admitted
having taken four suits across

EXCELLENT PROSPECTS.

Unexpectedly good results are
being obtained at the Mowry
mine, according to w. j. Mitch

there. Mr.. Mitchell was in No

This mine, which was taken

caved in. This shaft is being
cleared out by Mr.. Mitchell, and
as he progresses with this work,
he is starting levels every so

ed territory that was never
touched by those who worked
the property previously, and a
'34-foot vein of ore has been cut
at the 100 and $50 root levels
that carries IL per cent lead and
7 ounces of silver to the ton.
Operations are to be started
at the mine of the Arizona Con-
solidated Copper company, III

short time. J. Ritzler, who is
interested in this proposition,

property yesterday, the 18-inch
vein opening up to 3 IL feet.
This carries values of $25 in gold

PINTO BEANS HAVE
GREAT FOOD VALUE

Once upon time the lowly bean
was looked upon as something cheap
and only good for those who could not
afford anything better But, there
came a day when Mr.. Bean, like Mr..
Potato and other of the lowly and
hitherto looked-down-on vegetables
became rich over night and after the
manner Of all newly rich, promptly
proceeded to break into society-and
succeeded. Today the bean is consid-
cred a popular article of food, likewise
a healthful and nourishing vegetable.
Among the various varieties Of bean
which is rapidly coming into favor is
the pinto bean. In many Of the large
western cities, colored beans are used
almost entirely. In Colorado the es-
timated production of colored beans
exceeds last years crop by 400 per
cent. Pinto beans are equal to
white beans in food value, and are
from IS to 40 per cent cheaper in
price. Following, are two excellent
ways Of serving the pinto bean.
