Robbers on the San Pedro.

ing from Dudleyville to their ranch on

Herring was riding was taken from

were mounted were without shoes,
and consequently the robbers said they
didn't want them. They are described
as tough-looking white men, and were
then riding two of Mrs. Martin's horses.
Afterwards three other men were seen
with them, and all were well mounted
and armed. It is believed to be the

W. P. Dunham in Luck.
A Denver dispatch to the Los Au
geles Times, dated July 29, gives the
following good news regarding a well
known mining man who is largely
interested in Pinal county mines:
In the compromise of the litigation
between the Wilson Creek Consolidated
Gold Mining Company and the Inde
pendence Town and Mining Company,
W. P. Dunham of Los Angeles cleans
up a fortune estimated at half a mil
lion dollars. Dunham brought the com
promise to a successful issue. He has
the distinction of being the sixth per
son who has broken a United States
patent. The impression among the
best-informed mining men is that
Dunham receives the lion's share, for,
when matters looked the worst, he
obtained evidence whereby all indict
ments for perjury were brought against
the officers and people connected with
the placer company. The money ex
pended for the company amounts to
fully 300,000, and it is generally
understood that Dunham furnished the
most of the money to fight the case.
Deeds to the consolidation for filing in
Teller county were prepared to day,
and W. P. Dunham personally affixed
revenue stamps aggregating $25,000,
representing the cash value of the
property at $2,500,000.
The Close-Down at Kelvin.
Colonel Epes Bandolpb, division
superintendent of the Southern Pacific,
with headquarters in Tucson, will
hereafter also have charge of the com
pany's line between Benson and No
gales. Col. Randolph Is one of the most
thorough railroad men in the United
States, and no man stands higher in
his profession. It was only on account
of delicate health, which has been fully
restored in our bracing climate, that
he was induced to come west.
Diei In Florence, July 28, 1000,
Mrs. C. D. Henry, after a long illness.
She was an old and highly respected
resident of Florence and was well
known for her charitable and kindly
disposition. She leaves a husband and
son who have the sympathy of the en
tire community. The funeral took
place Sunday from the Catholic Church
and was largely attended.
The Southern Pacific company has

tion of the branch line to connect the

station and will be about 00 miles in
length.

A Minister's Good Work.
"I bada severe attack of bilious colic,
got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colie,
Cholera and Diarahoea Bemedy, took
two doses and was entirely cured,"
say Bev. A. A.. Power, of Emporia,
Kan. "My neighbor across the street
was sick for over a week, had two. or
three bottles of medicine from, the
doctor. He used them for three or
four days without relief, then called
in another doctor who treated him for
some days add gave him no relief, so.
discharged him. I went over to see'
him the next morning. He said his
bowels were in a terrible fix, that they
had been running off so long that it
was almost bloody flux. I asked him
if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Bemedy and he
said, 'No.' I went home and brought
him my bottle and gave him one dose ;
told him to take another dose in fifteen
or twenty minutes if he did not find
relief, but he took no more and was
entirely cured." For Bale by Brock'

Kelvin, Ariz., August 2.
The bi steam plant has been
brought down from the Ray mines and
is being put up in the mill here to
work in connection with the gasoline;
engines in generating power sufficient
for the ponderous machinery. The
steam plant is to run the concentrat
ing tables, which require steady
motion, not the jerks and spurts of
the gasoline power. For all the other
portion of the mill, however, the gaso
line engines are well adapted, and are
neat, clean and economical. Mr.
Weber, the gasoline engine expert, is
here and is quite confident of their
ultimate success in connection with
the steam plant. If this combination
works all right the shut down may
not be for more than two or three
weeks. If, however, it is necessary to
change it to an entire steam plant the
delay may be from two to three
months.
The ore bodies are immense, and
average, I am reliably informed, much
richer than is generally supposed..
New and rich bodies are also being
constantly developed. ' "
Mr. Hill and many of the largest
stockholders in the Ray Copper com
pany are also connected with the Rio
Tinto mines in Spain, and as will be
seen from the following clipping from
the Mining World they are accus
tomed to do business on a large scale,
and say they are prepared to do so
here, even if they have to expend a
million dollars or more before taking
out a pound of copper. The following
clipping explains itself :
W. B. Carlyle, superintendent of the
Rio Tinto mines in Spain, writes to an
American friend : "This is a monster.
There are 135,000,000 tons of ore in
sight, of which we must extract 1,000,
000 tons this year. We have a very
good railroad, 375 miles long, with thir
ty locomotives on the main line and
fifty at the mine, and this year we will
handle 5,000,000 tons of ore. There are
very extensive underground works.
The other day, down on the 1,200 foot
level, I was shown a solid body of ore
G60 feet wide. There are 10,000 Span
iards at work. We only pay here from
50 cents to 85 per day."
It wjll be seen from the above that
miners in Spain get but little more
than ordinary laborers. Yet miners
in this country who get from (3 to $3.50
per day do a vast amount of grumbling
over their hard lot.
The temporary stoppage of work
will inconvenience many people, es
pecially those with families, but such
is to be expected in all new mining
ca raps, and people who go there to
better their condition have to take
pot luck in all the varying conditions.
The outlook at Kelvin is, however,
highly encouraging, as the company is
one of the most substantial in the
world, and the ore bodies, a& far as
can be ascertained, are as large and
rich as those at Jerome,. Bisbee or
Clifton, which are fair representative
samples of Arizona's great mineral
bodies, which are very similar to the
great Rio Tinto mineral body in Spain
just mentioned in this article. The
country here for many miles is under
laid with sulphides, just as the country
around Pittsburgh, IV., is full of coal.
It is a country for big companies, to
take millions out of the sulphides, all
of which requires big plants and lots
of capital, yet is one of the best busi
ness mining propositions in the world.
Yours truly,'

An Unfortunate and Shocking Tragedy.
From the Nog-ales Oasis.
Sunday there occurred near Buena
Vista, on the Santa Cruz river, in So
nora, just south of the international
line, a sad and tragic accident by
which a very estimable young gentle
man, named Alfredo Ruiz Gutierrez,
accidentally loss his life at the un
willing hands of an intimate friend.
Mr. Celestino Escalada, of the firm of
Ruiz &. Escalada, in the mercantile
business at Canada Ancba, and one
of the same family as Escalada broth
ers of Nogales. The two young men
Gutierrez and Escalada were coming
into Nogales riding horseback, and
they met at the river a party of friends
from Nogales out for a picnic. The
two d rew their pistols to fire a salute
for the other party and in doing so
Escalada's weapon was prematurely
discharged, the ball penetrating the
brain of his companion, killing him in
stantly. The jud ge at Nogales, So
nora, was notified and that official
went out to the scene of the tragedy
and brought in the remains which
were buried Monday, followed to the
igrave by a large concourse of sympa
thizing friends. Deceased was a native
of Sautander, Spain, and but twenty-
three years of age.
