depot in this city this morning expecting to see the Arizona train robbers and their captors They were npt disappointed for four robbers In charge of four Arizona officers arrived on time The prisoners were heavily Ironed these useful ornaments having been riveted on by a blacksmith at Pan quick The robbers were taken to the city jail at once and the officers proceeded to rest and clean up SherifrOTJeil of Prescott when Interviewed by your correspondent said On March 21st an Atlantic and Pacific train was stopped at a telegraph station in Canyon Diablo Yavapai county A by four robbers Then these men boarded the rrairi and persuaded the fireman with six shooters to order theexpress messenger to open his car This was done and therob bers then broke open the strong box and after securing all the money in it struck south toward Toiito basin and proceeded as far in that direction as Sunset mountain when they headed for Utah Sheriff OXeil was at onre notified of the affair and with Special Agent Hol ton Deputy Sherio James Black and Ed St Clair started in pursuit A better posse could not have been selected as those composing it are men of the highest courage and arel thoroughly familiar with the country They trailed the robbers nearly 300 miles north from the line of the road through as wild and desolate a country as can be found in the West It was a dangerous trip too for the region is infested with desperadoes whose syni pamy is au wira me pursued party At last after a hard journey of 300 miles crossing the Little and main Colorado and over high mountains and parched plains daring which the officers suffered many privations the robbers were sighted on April 1st nearly two weeks after the affair in Wahwee canyon about forty miles east of Canonviile in this Territory The officers called on the men to sur render and were answered with a vol ley from their six shooers with which they were well armed The country being heavily timbered both parties were well protected and a pitched bat tle ensued during which one of the robbers bad his cartridge box shot from his belt another had a bullet hole put through his hat and some of their horses were killed Alter about titty shots had been exchanged with the result above stated the robbers concluded it was getting too hot for them and leaving their horses they beat a hasty retreat on foot The country is covered with a dense growth of underbrush which made the pursuit very tedious but the officers persisted and soon overhauled Bill Stineau a noted desperado and probably the leader of the gang Kext day Charles Clark and John Smith were captured and on April 4th James Quince was gathered in They had now succeeded in their object but another difficulty arose To return with their prissoners oyer the road they had come would be no easy undertaking and after consideration it was decided to press on to Milford and then go to Denver by way of Salt Lake and take the Santa Fe road lor Prescott It is not known even by the officers just how much money was stolen but that found on the men together with what has been accounted for amounts to over 1000 On the way up one of the prisoners madeaJuU oeniession so that there is not the slightest doubt as to the right men having been captured A funny incident is related in connection with an attempt made by the citizens of Canonviile to arrest the men Shortly before the arrival ot the officers eight armed men with a small army of followers undertook this Job The robbers waited quietly until the citizens were near enough when they suddenly covered them with their guns and made them stack their arms and depart Strange to say ail of the prisoners are well educated and Smith claims to be the son ol a Baptist minister Officer Hoiton says he formerly knew Stiiiean in New Mexico where he trained with a hard gang and was generally consid sldered a bad man Their ages are Clark 25 Quince 23 Smith 27 titineau about 30 They were quite Jolly when first arrested but are becinnlng to realize their position now and show signs of drooping a rain rooomgwas juauo a capital offense by tbe last Arizona Legislature and as the Court sits on May 1st

winter quarters The seeding of wheat was somewhat delayed in the Middle States by early autumn rains and west of Ohio by dry weather in September and October Later conditions were favorable In both sections with mild and drier weather in the East and a fair supply of moisture in the West In the South the condition of the soil for seeding was generally favorable In California the autumn rains were followed by a dry season In the winter but refreshing showers In March caused germination of lately sown and vigorous growth of early seeded area There was little winter protection except tor a short time in midwinter in the latitude of heavy winter snows consequently the more northern breadths are somewhat brown in color and patches in tbe wet soils are winter killed yet the temperature has been so mild with so tew sudden extremes that the present condition is very good Tbe plants are generally well rooted and have been growing over a large part of the area through the winter The general average condition is 91 nearly the same as the April condition ot the crop of 1880 which fell at the harvest to 878 That of 1888 was 82 and that of the previous year was 881 The April condition ot the

relumed this morning from Sully county where he went to investigate the extent of damage by the recent prairie fires It was a terrible sight he said 1 did not sup pose that the fires were so bad There are at least 100 families in Sully county who lost most of the wheat they had Some of them saved a few things bat in most cases nothing was saved Those who witnessed the fire told me that the flames jumped four or five rods so that any ordinary fire protection was of no avail One man had a sick dauzhter in bed when he saw the fire coming and his wife rushed into the barn to untie the horses while he ran to save the girl and he had just carried uer out on tne plowed neia when the fire sprang upon his house his wife barely escaninz The horses were burned I saw where 400 sheep naa neen ournea in

the gun and ammunition which is to be furnished with the gun shall be paid for at a fair valuation including the cost of transportation A contract is also to be made at reasonable prices with the party presenting the best of such guns for a further supply The board has accordingly formu lated the following conditions which have been approved by the Secretary of War The ten inch gun shall be about thirty tons long in weight the length thirty four calibers measure from face of obturator to face ol muzzle It is desirable that the trunnions be twelve inches in diameter and the distance between run bases forty two inches In order to avoid the necessity for a special carriage the power must be a muzzle energy of not less than 1800 foot tons The range shall for 20 degrees elevation be 13G50 yards and the corresponding ranges shall be obtained with lower elevations The requirements as to accuracy arc that 23 per cent of the shot shall strike within a vertical rectangle 14 feet by 1 foot at 1900 yards range and within a horizontal rectangle of 485 yards by 92 yards at 10000 yards range The endurance test shall not be less titan 300 rounds with full charges AfteT 250 or more rounds mav be fired the gun may be lined totally or in part when at least 50 rounds more will be fired to fully test the strength of construction After this the general soundness and efficiency of the gun should not be materially impaired except so far as may have resulted from erosion Should any material modification of construction be made during the trial at least fitly rounds with full charges shall be fired thereafter The weight ot projectiles to lie used with full charges shall be about 575 pounds Three hundred rounds of ammunition shall be the proper am ount to be supplied with the gun for a test As proof of general efficiency the breech mechanism should work freely and be convenient for operating the opening and closing of the breech to be performed without great difficulty by one man The projectiles shall admit of being readUjr handled inserted and entered in the bore and not be subject to injury or deformation either in handling or transportation Rapidity of fire of fifteen rounds i er hour shall be obtainable using snch appliances for loading as are employed by the Ordnance Department of the United States army The repairs allowable during the entire trial of the gun exclusive of the insertion of a lining tube will be confined to repairing or renewing the parts injured during tbe trial No alterations that may affect the general construction of any part will be made without the Sanction of the board For a 12 inch gun the weight is to be about 52 tons bore 34 caliber and it is desired that the trunnions be 14 inches in diameter and 498 inches between rim bases The power is to be not less than 21000 foot tons range 14700 yarns ai aegrees elevation accuracy the same as that of the 10 inch gun endurance not less than 230 ronnds lining may be inserted

entertained aCuKosicx reporter last evening at the Unas House with the story of his recent uni successful negotiations for the purchase of Governor Watermans big gold mine which he expects to end by his 1 suing the Governor for 91000000 for breach of contract Mr Lyon has operated more or less in irines for a number of years and when the real estate boom in San Diego was in its glory he was a hustling real estate dealer there When the real estate market was forsaken by the fickle boom Mr Lyon again turned his attention to metal production Governor Watermans rich Stonewall Jackson mine which had poured wealth into its owners coffers until he had looked about him and found himself among the money kings of earth and the honors which seek such royal heads for perches presented speculative possibilities and Mr Lyon carefully investigated it He concluded that the millions were not all extracted and asked the Governor his price It was 12000000 With a contract for its sale at this figure Mr Lyon went East and after several months of exertion succeeded In negotiating its sale to a syndicate for 3000000 only to find his prospective profit of 1000000 threatened by the Governors refusal to sell It is that million which Mr Lyon is after now I secured the contract on Septem ber Sd of last year said Mr Lyon it was in the Governors handwriting and by it he agreed to sell tne Cuya maca ranch of 21000 acres the Stonewall mine on it and all boats machinery stock and everything else belonging to themine and ranch for00000a There was no limit set to the time the contract was to run I went East a few days later and called upon a number of wealthy capitalists in Chicago New York and Boston and by the end ot the year had practically succeeded in forming a syndicate for the purchase of the mine Tbe negotiations were not finally completed however and the money ready until the last of February I dont care to say who the men were but they represented about 125000000 altogether They agreed to buy the nunc at 3000000 if it were as represented and it was a good investment at that price Theres nearly five millions in gold ore in sight and tne ten stamps have been producing 25000 a week for some time It my syndicate had secured the mme they would probably have put in 100 stamps About the 1st of March some of the gentlemen telegraphed Waterman that they had purchased the mine and would like to meet him at San Diego He replied that the mine was out of the market and bad never been offered for sale They immediately telegraphed him that they would abide by his contract with me They hadnt seen my contract yet and 1 suppose wanted to know about it Waterman replied that there was no contract beyond some pencil marks and that it was void long ago that if there was anything more than that it was a forgery WelLwhen they confronted me with that in Chicago one night it was a nice situation tor me just then for the contract was in the First National Bank and 1 couldnt get it until the next day I produced It the next morning and an official of the Santa Fe Railway Company identified the writing and vouched for my Integrity wen mat aayone 01 tne Chicago members of the syndicate telegraphed Waterman that they would come out and examine the property and inti maiea tnat tney wooia lorce tne sale according to contract Waterman answered You need not start to come to California to examine the mine It belongs to me and I will allow nobody to examine it It was concluded that I had better come out and I reached San Diego three weeks ago I started for Sacramento but heard that Water man naa lett for can Diego and I boarded the train on which he was at Fresno The Governor greeted me cordially but when I told him that I had sold his mine he got cranky right awayandsaid I dont want to talk with you about it Your contract only ran for thirty days I wont talk with you about it at aU and he left the car At San Diego I saw him again with his lawyers and let htm take a copy of the contract ai me second interview ne said Lyon I dont wantto sell the mine at that price and the contract is void but Ive concluded to do this Yonre worked hard and been to a good deal of trouble ana 111 ne noerai witn you Ill take 3000000 lor the mine and give you IK per cent I told him I would think it over until next day There is considerable difference between 115000 and 1000000 If he bad saiVHere in amae tnu minion with you 1 might nave said all right but the next day I told I would hold him to his contract I have engaged good attorneys at Los Angeles and 8an Diego and nave got DacJdne I suppose Ill have a three years fight I am prepared to file a suit for 1000000 damages for breach of contract I dont know what the syndicate will do but they cant afford to keep that amount of money waiting long and they may drop the business I received a dispatch yesterday saying that Waterman had said that he would carry out the contract and allow ten days to complete the purchase That is probably a bluff as in ten days the parties couldnt reach the mine with their expert and it would take more than ten days to examine the mine So If the Governor dpea not agree to any better terms the suit will be filed in few days I suppose Waterman Is trying to get out of bis contract becaue he eees that he can make more out of it I understand from good authority that he wants to stock the mine tor 10000 000 and put it on the market and I also hear that an English syndicate wants to buy it said the young man and if any one calls send them up Within a few moments a boy called with package for Mrs Wilcox and he was sent to theioom occupied by WIlcoxL A half liour elapsed and the boy came down stairs to the office asking for Mr Wilcox Whyt

this city la that recently exposed in tile columns of the Chbosicxx in an article descriptive of themetbods Of the Eagle insurance Society of 123 California street This society has several ImiUtors two of whichfrom the ostentatious display which tney make may well ie referred to so as to put the members and Intending members on their guard The CoIumbU Mutual Benefit Asso elation Incorporated on February 11 1830 naa offices in the Flood bunding Ji audita otneersare castienpresK denV 8 ABorstiniirfce president It Noble secretary and treasurers Thesa men with the addition of James Dunn Jm Campbell A KijHap persbergcrandJAKOblcvformthev Board of Directora The avowed oBrs JecU of the association are to pay 230 500 and 1000 on endowment IcertinVv cates whose maturity 1s comt pleted in accordancevfwlth thdri numbers beginning with certificate so I first then KO 3 and soai on To pay these certificates monthly dues are levied of 123 for the1000 certificate 75 cents for the 500 certin cate and 60 cents for the 230 certificate If then tbe first certificate issued Is for 1000 as soon as that sura has been re eel fed in monthly dues from the mem bers the holder of the certificate receives the 1000 although he may have paia oniy a or even less on it A convenient practice in these asso dations is to distribute the first certifl cates among the officers Thus the ragie insurance coactys secretary according to his own statement held certificate I and received the first 1000 This Is done ostensibly to Inspire cOn fidenceon the principle that this is such a good thing that we Uko certifl cates 11 ourselves 10 tne omcers it certainly is a good thing They get their certificates first paid up they usually excuse themselves from paying any dues so that they receive their money for nothing and the cost of issuing the certificates ranging from 3 to 3 each goes to the maintenance ol the offices and especially the officers The points which it is necessary for the members to appreciate are that they are only contributing to the support of their officers that the later they join the society the less chance they have of obtaining their money even if the busi ness be conducted honorably and that if tbe society stops running to day there will not be a cent in the treasury If 1 there are now 1000 members in the Columbia Mutual Benefit Association there must pass through the hands ot the treasurer 1000003 In monthly dues beforevthe holder of the certificate numbered 1000 can get his money 2 that is supposing all the certificates to be Issued for 1000 and in no case will the amount paid In bear any legitimate ratio to the sum promisedpromised the certificate holder An illu tration taken from the societys own figures shows their absurdity It saya It eon pay 643 certificates of 1000 each in five years that is to say 519000 To-pay this sum it would take a steady membership of nearly 7500 all paving their 1 23 a month with unfailing regularity and at the end of five years there would be 50 paid rnembers and 6931 unpaid members with nothing more than the paper certificate as security for their paid up dues In order even to pay theotO members the rata ot increase must be 300 members sV month The second sodetr which calls tar particular attention is the Phoenix Fiduciary Endowment Association run on the same principle as the Eagle Insurance Society
