After the raid ended these Indians, wilh several others, were arrested up on the reservation and turned over to the United States authorities. Their trial took place at Phenix, at the fall term of the United States court in 1888. Gon Shay was convicted and the sentence of death passed upon him ; the two others were sentenced to terms in prison and had served eight-tee- n months at Columbus, Ohio, when they were released upon a writ of er ror by the U. S. Supreme Court, in which the territorial courts were given the jurisdiction in such cases. The prisoners were returned to Arizona, and together with Gon Shay, who was held at Phenix pending the decision of the Supreme Court, were brought to Flor- ence last summer for a new trial. The several other Indians implicated were acquitted upon the first trial and were never Judee W. H. Barnes, of the First Judicial District, presided at the trials of these Indians, in October last and, after fair and impartial trials they were duly convicted of murder in the first degree and were sentenced by the court to be hanged. and Kah-dos-- la were convicted at the same term of court of the murder of Wm. Jones, near Dudleyville, on the 15th day of Sep tember, 1888, and sentenced to tieatn. A Mexican had sold or allowed the Indians tp take a jug of whiskey from him, and when they obtained posses sion they reiused to pay ior it. Mr. Jones happened along about that time, going to his ranch near by, and the Mexican appealed to him to arbi- trate the matter. While talking with some of the Indians the two whose lives have just expiated their crime, came up and shot Jones while he was seated upon his horse. As he tell the Mexican mounted the riderless ani mal and escaped. This matter took the sheriff and a posse to Dudleyville to arrest the Indians, but through the connivance and advice 01 a arunicen lieutenant from San Carlos, the Indi ans, belonging to band, escaped and went upon the reservation where nearly all of them still remain. Subsequently, through a vast amount of correspondence, the reservation of ficials received orders to turn over to the civil authorities the Indians against whom indictments were pending, and a, Koh-dos-- Ia and several others were brought to Florence for trial. All but the two above named were acquitted, and the evidence was full and complete that these two were the guilty parties and had shot and killed Jones without any cause or pro vocation whatever.

Kengla, Tucson, Ariz. Lott his Head. Uoq-sh- a, the f, now lies in his grave a headless piece of cjay. He cheated the gallows by committing suicide and in turn he has been cheat- ed out of his cabeza. After having served all the purpose in life that his savage nature permitted he has con tributed to the ghastly curiosities ot a morbid taste the head that planned the mischief he perpetrated. The once active brain is nqw a coagulated mass of inert matter and the tongue that commanded implicit obedience is silent and still. The relic is but an emblem of mortality bf value neither to its owner nor its possessor. After the forms of law had been complied with, the body of the dead chieftain was consigned to the under- taker for interment and was con- veyed to the cemetery and temporarily covered within a rough bpx to await the arrival of its comrades from the gallows, Thursday night the clouds massed heavily overhead and the rain- drops forebode the coming storm. It was such a night as spooks hold high revelry and even strong men shun the proximity of the graveyard as the abpde of spirjts that brook human interruption'. Just as the lights within the several Stores were being turned down pre- paratory to cjqsipg, a horse and buggy came dashing through thp streets, without driver or bridle. A runaway surely, and possibly some one was suf- fering from being thrown out, up the street. A messenger of mercy started out towards the cemetery but soon re- turned full of mystery and absolutely as tp what he had wit- nessed. Morning came and the event of the night so preyed upon the minds of those who had witnessed the strange occurrences that two or three took the back track and trailed the buggy to the cemetery. They found the sap ling to which a horse had been tied and from which it had broken away and returned to town, and at the newly made grave of the Apache In dians they discovered evidences of vandalism. Further investigation showed the body of Gon-sh- a within its coffin, minus jts h6ad. A devious trail was followed back to town, but it was again lost amid the numberless tracks along the muddy streets, and to this hour it is believed that even Gon-sh- a has not missed the head he sq mysteriously lost.

GOLDSCHMIDTJ, gw'y uid Tiwt't, The month of December is starting off very auspiciously for tho merchants and business men. The depot is piled high with goods and merchandise so that it seems impossible to find room for more, but still the cry is more every day. Trade is reported very act- ive in all branches. Town lots are still being taken up and many im- provements in the building line are in active operation or contemplated. Judge Marshall in erecting his Aer-mot- or windmill, purchased through Hoff, of Tucson, and J. M. Woods will soon follow suit. - Mr. J. A. Alexander is contemplat- ing the erection of another cottage in addition to the two already construct- ed. The lumber is on the ground for a new' cottage to be erected for B. B. De Nure. Mr. DeNure is a single man but there is no particular significance attached to the fact of his building a residence. It will be occupied as Bachelor's Hall. Mr. Chris. Johnson, formerly of the Golden West mine, who has recently returned from Sweden with his bride, is building a residence near the school house. The Fryer lodging house has been leased to Miss Mary Green who will continue to run the house in the same excellent style as formerly. Owing to the inclement weather there was no meeting of the Social Club last week. The postponed pro- gramme will be rendered next Sunday evening. The dance given on Thanks- giving evening under the auspices of the club - was a very enjoyable affair, about twenty couples participating. A familiar figure on our streets each day is Mr. W. N. Crandall who is rap- idly pushing his work on the canal. The promise of the company to have water from the canal on Mr. Taft's land by Christmas will surely be ful- filled. Large quantities of lumber and other materials for use at the storage reservoir are being daily forwarded and many men are going there look ing for employment. The attendance of pupils at the school is the largest known and the scholars are somewhat cramped for room, despite the fact that an invoice of new desks have been received and put in place. Jas.

Incidents of the Occasion. For the past several days busy men have been engaged in thu jail yard constructing and adjusting the gallows upon which the live Apache Indians convicted of murder at thulast term of court were to be hanged. On Wed nesday evening everything vas found to be in perfect order and tests of the strength and operation of the instru ment of death proved good workman- ship and careful preparation. The old arrangement of n drop plat- form was discarded, and the Brooklyn plan was adopted, whereby the sub jects stand upon the ground and at the signal a rope is severed and the heavily weighted counterpoise in- stantly draws up the condemned crim- inals with a quick movement tliat dis- locates the neck and produces almost instant death. By its uso the slow strangulation so often witnessed is im possible. When all was completed, ttte counterpoise was charged with seventeen hundred pounds of quick silver in iron flasks, to offset the weight of seven hundred pounds of aboriginal humanity, and a slack of thirty inches cave the weight a suf-- fioent impetus to accomplish the de sired result in the most expeditious and humane manner. But while the busy workmen pound ed away and cracked their ghastly jokes during the preparations, the condemned Indians in tho adjacent cells were made fully aware of the nature of this unusual activity and ex- hibited a keen interest in what was transpiring without the lail. On Wednesday the interpreters from San Carlos arrived and through them the death warrants were rad to the doomed Indians. Later on they were visited by the Catholic priest Father Monfort and several Sisturs of St. Joseph, and the serious question of preparation for their inevitable doom was discussed. Two submitted to the baptismal rites, but the old chief, Gon Sha, utterly refused the proffered ministrations and preferred to die in the Indian faith which transforms the brave warrior into a solid rock, be- cause of his firmness ; the squaw into a bear because of her uneven temper, and the pappoose into a fish probably because it is only a little sucker. Gon Sha been spurned the well meaning miniutrations and his anrer at the sympathy expressed by the kind Sis- ters was quite vicious. The doomed Indians retired that night as usual, and they kept up their customary songs until they dropped apparently into a sleep. The guard sat in the corridor, reading; Harper's Magazine to pass away the dullness of the waning hours, occasionally peer- ing through the grating of the cell to see that all was right within its dimly lighted interior. The inmates were apparenl.ly asleep, with their blankets drawn over their heads in. Indian fash ion and quiet at last reigned through out the gruesome edifice. Ine guard took his lunch about half-po- st twelve o'clock, and peered into the cell sever al times without finding anything amiss. About two o'clock Thursday morn ing he was summoned to the grating by one of the younger Indians, who excitedly told him that tb.e old In dian Gon Sha was dead. The guard at once gave the alarm and when as sistance arrived the cell ws entered and it was found that not only Gon Sha had cheated the gallows, but '.hat and had accompanied him upon his journey to the spirit vorld. The two former were the murderers of Diehl and the latter of Jones, as hereinafter set forth It was found that the Indians had torn strips from their" breech-clout- s and pasted them around their necks; they then tied a secure knot by giv ing an extra twist, whereby, when once drawn tight t could npt be loosened, even if the victim felt so dis- posed. The ends of the string were then taken by the lianas of the suicidal aborigines and drawn tightly with a sudden jerk, and strangulation followed. Neither of the Indians moved during this process of self des truction and to all appearance they calmly slept beneath their blankets until the plarm was given by their comrades. The evidence of Dr. A. S, Adler, be fore the coroner's jury, was that death had taken place between four and five hours before he was called shortly after two o'clock, and therefore the fatal knots had been tied between nine and ten o'clock on the preceding night, THE HANGfNJ. The fatal Friday morning opened dark and gloomy, with lnavy rain clouds hovering low and a constant drizzle falling. Notwithstanding the inclement weather about fifty persons assembled at the jail yard at seven o'clock, and just half an hour later the two Indians were swung off into eter- nity. Prayer was offered by Rev. I. T. Whittemore, and Rev. Father Monfort read the sacrament. Without the least manifestation of fear and Kah-dos-- la permitted the adjust ment of the nooses and wero firmly secured for their doom. They bade good bye to all who were present and charged the interpreter to toll their relatives at San Carlos that they had joined tho Catholic Church and would go to heaven. Precisely at 7 :30 the rope was sever- ed with a hatchet and for a brief mo- ment while the heavy weight took up the three foot of slack rope the inter- est of the spectators was intense. Sud- denly the two human forms shot up eight feet, their heads almost touch- ing the beam above, and then fell back a foot with the rebound. There was a slight quiver of the muscles and all was over. Both necks were in- stantly broken by the first jerk of the rope and consciousness was extinguish- ed instantaneously. At just nine minutes after the drop fell, was pronounced dead, and five minutes later the pulse of Kah-dos-l- a ceased. The law was vindicated and the same doom was meted out to the Indian murderers as that accorded to the writes. HISTOhY OF THE CRIMXS. Gon-Sh- a, an Apache sub-chie- f, and were convicted at the October term of the District court of Pinal county for the murder of Diehl, a cattleman, at his ranch between San Carlos and the Saa Pedro river, on June 3d, 1887. To gether with others they had attacked Chief of Scouts Al. Sieber, and badly wounded him, and then started upon a general raid of slaughter. There were fifteen in the party and upon leaving the reservation they provided themselves with horses at the first ranches they came across. Arriving at the ranch of Diehl and Seaman they discovered the former within pis- tol range, and Gon Shay, as admitted in his testimony, made a good shot with his pistol before Diehl realized that be was in danger. Gon Shay was accompanied by and the remaining mem bers of the band being secreted over a lull. The finding of two carbine cart ridges upon the spot from wfcich the shooting was done was the grounds for their conviction, as they carried carbines using such cartridgiis. These two Indians denied having shot Diehl showed that three Hotel are requested to settle their ac counts by January 1st, 1890, or else give their notes for the same. L. K. Drais.

The Duquesne Mining and Reduc- tion company has been organized to operate the mining claims recently purchased by the Pittsburgh syndicate through Dr. Charles A. Ashburner, who has been appointed general man- ager of the company. Mr. Kobert D. Rhodes will have charge of the work on the ground and will be assisted by Mr. Sam W. Cheyney. The company has formed no plans for perman- ent operations and it is understood no future plans will be decided upon until the company's claims, of which there are about twenty, have been fully explored. Mr. Rhodes is an eastern man of wide business and mining experience in the west and in Mexico. He has appointed as machin- ist Mr. Frank Blaykeslee, and as min ing boss Mr. James A. Lenny, both of whom have for a number of years been connected with mining enterprises in Idaho and Utah.

' Something; ofthe Resources of our West ern Possessions as Depicted ly an Intelligent and Capable Uentle-man- . Editor Enterprise : To comply with your request to give you the re- sult of my recent investigation in this great and beautiful mountain rimmed Paradise valley or open plain whic h extends more than one hundred miles in length by fifty miles in breadth, would require a volume to contain it. This great valley or open plain is crossed from east to west by the Salt river on the northerly part ; in the cen- ter by the Gila river, and in the south- erly part by the sunken Santa Cruz river. The divides between these rivers in their passage through the great plain being so slight the eye does not detect them. As the valley of the Salt river on the north of this plain is so fortunate as to embrace the beautiful city of Phe- nix, now twenty years ' of age, the Capitol City of the Territory and of Maricopa county, with a population of about 8,000 souls and two daily news- papers, with all of the advertising en- ergy and push of any of the older frontier cities, there is little to be 8 aid about their valley in addition to what they have published and made known throughout our Country. By the statistics recently published by them I learn they have in this valley one hundred and seventy-si- x miles of irri- gating canals, covering 250,000 acres of land. Along and near this river is a very light sandy soil ; after leaving this sand, which extends about half a mile in width, then commences quite a body of very heavy adobe land, about two and a half miles in width, extend- ing towards the northeast some three miles. On some of this adobe land the "cement or hard pan," so called, comes very near to the surface. On land of this character the best crops are grain and alfalfa of which they yield enor- mous crops of the latter, four or more crops per year and are pastured by horses, cattle, sheep and hogs the year round ; these animals thrive and grow fat upon it at all seasons of the year. These lands naturally require irriga ting very often in the hot dry sum mers. The soil beyond this adobe belt towards the foot hills is a light sand, near the foot hills it becomes more gravelly. This light soil is the best fruit land in the valley. About Tempe, nine miles east of Phenix, the soil is heavy adobe with considerable alkali, though not enough to generally interfere with the crops of grain and alfalfa, but the land is almost worth- less for fruit growing for profit. MESA CITY. The Mormon settlement eighteen miles of Phenix, on the south side of the river, is, as its name indicates, on the high mesa or table land. The soil is sandy loam and well adapted to all kinds of fruit. The Mormons have made great success in fruit growing and wine making and have made a garden of the place during their short occupancy of tea years. OF THE VALLEY OF THE GREAT GILA RIVER. Coming through your county of Pinal and west to the line of Yuma county, I find little printed matter of any sort concerning it and as there ia but one newspaper, the Arizona En terprise, published at Florence the beautiful capital of Pinal county ,to set forth its many advantages, I will go more into details concerning my in vestigation in this valley. It may be no surprise to you, but it certainly was to me and wdl be to nearly every one outside of the valley, to learn that you have 257 miles of ir rigating canals constructed and in pro cess of construction at this time, cov ering 800,000 acres of land, by the fol lowing companies viz : Buckeye, Gila River, Enterprise, Gould Bros, Palmer, Citrus, Monarch Ditch, Gila River Ir ligation Company, Gila Bend Canal Company; the canal in the Pima and Maricopa reservation for which the government paid $150,000 for con gtructjon js us'e4 by these ever friendly and most .Native Ameri cans" from way back, for irrigating their lands and they are celebrated as gram growers and cattle raisers The Florence Canal, which takes tne water several miles above your beautiful city of the same name, has its work now completed tp the Sputhern Pacific Kailroad at Casa Grande sta tion. The width of this canal is 25 feet at the bottom with sloping sides, so as to give an average width of thirty- - six leet. it is designed to carry volume of water four feet deep. Ahe soil ot the vallev at the Gila river is of a general sandy loam, very lime adobe m any of it ar)d S far SUPERIOR TO THAT OF THE SALT RIVER VALLEY for growing fruits. In this valley every variety oj grapes, Granges, lem ons, olives, figs.pomegranates.peaches apricots, rench prunes, almonds.dates apples, quinces, strawberries, black berries, (VO., are grown to great per fection and for all kinds of grain and alfalfa it has but few superiors. THE VALLEY OF THE SUNKEN SANTA CRUZ RIVER, is undoubtedly the finest one in the Territory for fruit growing. This val ley has several feet of a rich red loam soil with several feet of a light sandy sou underlying it. I he valley is warmer in the winter than either that of the Gila or Salt river. The soil requires less irrigation than the other valleys described and with thorough cultivation produces to a wonderlul degree ; jt will undoubted ly prove to be the Citrus Belt of South em Arizona. The soil never bakes like the adobe lands further north For fruit growing and all kinds of agriculture and stock raising it is not and cannot be surpassed. THE ARIZONA VINEYARD COMPANY, At Maricopa Station, have a princely domain of over 4000 aqres of this royal red loam soil, similar to the celebrated "Red Lands" of California, the like of which is valued in California at $1000 per acre for the purpose of planting tne Muscat ot Alexandria raisin grapes aprjects, peaches, &o and thev make their lauds pay a net dividend of 20 per cent yearly upon this sum and cost of putting the lands under pro duction. The company purposes to plant out six sections ot their (and in vines and trees, one sectiqn each year, and will undoubtedly equal if not exceed Call fornia in the value of their productions as the climate here as so dry, no dews or fogs, the grapes store up a greater percentage of sugar than in California and raisins can be cured right on the ground in a few days after cutting from the vines, retaining all their bloom which cannot be done any where else The cpjnpfiny alsq Intend to lay out a iowh sue, uiey oejng at tne junction of the Maricopa and Phenix Railroad with the great Southern Pacific. An extention is now being made of the M. &. P. Railroad north through the rich mining, timber and agricultural district q the Atlanq and Pacific xtauroau. mere, are several impor tant gold, silver and copper mines di rectly south of Maricopa, in the foot hills and mountains, and new ones are being discovered weekly which will draw their supplies from this point. ThJs mineral interest and the labor that must be employed on the com- pany's vineyards, and the large bus iness of canning, packing, shipping, fcc.j connected therewith, will make WORKS MACHINERY to cover their land with water and are independent of all canal companies their expenses and annoyance. There are ruins ot ancient irrigating works directly south of Maricopa, and the whole valley at the Santa Cruz river south of the Southern Pacific rail road extending from forty to fifty miles from it can, if desired, be irri- gated by water from reservoirs made by dams in the Gila and taking the water out above the city of Florence by canals and conveying to the high or table lands north of the mountains south of here and to a point fifteen miles northwest of Maricopa where the Santa Cruz empties into the Gila, thus irrigating the whole slope to the Gila river, if desired. This probably wall not be the case, the Southern Paci- fic Railroad obtain water at all of their stations by steam pumps from wells sunk into the under ground bed of the Santa Cruz as well as the various stock ranches, and agriculturists and horticulturists all about them are fol lowing their example and have filed on all of the desirable lands on the plains that are covered by water. All of the great valley will indeed soon be made to again bloom and blos som as in ancient times when it was occupied by a dense civilized people, evidences of which appear all over this beautiful plain. The intelligent working of these lands by the improved methods of agriculture and irrigation, abundance of water at hand and under the con trol of man at all times,prove far more satisfactory and remunerative than gold mining "with the metal all in sight, as the miners say. Mancopians are looking for the air line road from San Diego Bay to Yuma to follow the Gila river to Gila Bend,frora Gila Bend directly through the coming city of Maricopa to your city of Florence, and so on up the rich valley of the Gila, through Arizona and New Mexico to Magdalena, and from Magdalena to Socorro the Santa Fe road is already running, and from Socorro to the town of Pan Handle in Texas the same road is already run to Chicago. When completed they will have almost an air line from San Diego to New York City and all of the great cities north east, by lines already in operation. This road on its route through Arizona and New Mexico will undoubtedly go through the richest agricultural and mining region in the country. Of the climate, too much cannot be said in its praise. During the past monUi realistic winter has prevailed throughout the eastern, middle and western states, and genuine blizzards in some localities with their deadly work. In central and southern Ari zona all has been eternal and delight ful sunshine.with the thermometer up to summer heat every day. Here there are no fogs nor dews and in the hottest days in summer out door labor is performed without in terruption. Sunstrokes are never known ; the heat is more bearable at all times than in the hottest weather with the saturated atmosphere of the north. Surely the climate that permits an out door picnic and dinner of 135 persons The Illinois Associatipn-"- to partake of their Thanksgiving dinner in a park at Phenix last Thursday, with nothing but a canopy of canvas and that to shield them from the bright rays of the sun, must be as near heavenly as can be made.

and Kah-dos-- la wereconvicted at the same term of courtof the murder of Wm. Jones, nearDudleyville, on the 15th day of September, 1888, and sentenced to tieatn.A Mexican had sold or allowed theIndians tp take a jug of whiskey fromhim, and when they obtained possession they reiused to pay ior it.Mr. Jones happened along about thattime, going to his ranch near by, andthe Mexican appealed to him to arbi-trate the matter. While talking withsome of the Indians the two whoselives have just expiated their crime,came up and shot Jones while he wasseated upon his horse. As he tell theMexican mounted the riderless animal and escaped. This matter tookthe sheriff and a posse to Dudleyvilleto arrest the Indians, but through theconnivance and advice 01 a arunicenlieutenant from San Carlos, the Indians, belonging to band,escaped and went upon the reservationwhere nearly all of them still remain.Subsequently, through a vast amountof correspondence, the reservation officials received orders to turn over tothe civil authorities the Indians againstwhom indictments were pending, and

Lott his Head.

Uoq-sh- a, the f, now lies inhis grave a headless piece of cjay. Hecheated the gallows by committingsuicide and in turn he has been cheat-ed out of his cabeza. After havingserved all the purpose in life that hissavage nature permitted he has contributed to the ghastly curiosities ot amorbid taste the head that plannedthe mischief he perpetrated. The onceactive brain is nqw a coagulated massof inert matter and the tongue thatcommanded implicit obedience issilent and still. The relic is but anemblem of mortality bf value neitherto its owner nor its possessor.

After the forms of law had beencomplied with, the body of the deadchieftain was consigned to the under-taker for interment and was con-veyed to the cemetery and temporarilycovered within a rough bpx to awaitthe arrival of its comrades from thegallows, Thursday night the cloudsmassed heavily overhead and the rain-drops forebode the coming storm. Itwas such a night as spooks holdhigh revelry and even strong menshun the proximity of the graveyardas the abpde of spirjts that brookhuman interruption'.

Just as the lights within the severalStores were being turned down pre-paratory to cjqsipg, a horse and buggycame dashing through thp streets,without driver or bridle. A runawaysurely, and possibly some one was suf-fering from being thrown out, up thestreet. A messenger of mercy startedout towards the cemetery but soon re-

turned full of mystery and absolutelyas tp what he had wit-

nessed.Morning came and the event of the

night so preyed upon the minds ofthose who had witnessed the strangeoccurrences that two or three took theback track and trailed the buggy tothe cemetery. They found the sapling to which a horse had been tiedand from which it had broken awayand returned to town, and at thenewly made grave of the Apache Indians they discovered evidences ofvandalism. Further investigationshowed the body of Gon-sh- a within itscoffin, minus jts h6ad.

A devious trail was followed back totown, but it was again lost amid thenumberless tracks along the muddystreets, and to this hour it is believedthat even Gon-sh- a has not missed thehead he sq mysteriously lost.

The Gallows Cheated of Three of Its Victims The others meet their Fate

Heroically. Incidents ofthe Occasion.

For the past several days busy menhave been engaged in thu jail yardconstructing and adjusting the gallowsupon which the live Apache Indiansconvicted of murder at thulast termof court were to be hanged. On Wednesday evening everything vas foundto be in perfect order and tests of thestrength and operation of the instrument of death proved good workman-ship and careful preparation.

The old arrangement of n drop plat-form was discarded, and the Brooklynplan was adopted, whereby the subjects stand upon the ground and atthe signal a rope is severed and theheavily weighted counterpoise in-

stantly draws up the condemned crim-inals with a quick movement tliat dis-locates the neck and produces almostinstant death. By its uso the slowstrangulation so often witnessed is impossible. When all was completed,ttte counterpoise was charged withseventeen hundred pounds of quicksilver in iron flasks, to offset theweight of seven hundred pounds ofaboriginal humanity, and a slack ofthirty inches cave the weight a suf--

fioent impetus to accomplish the desired result in the most expeditiousand humane manner.

But while the busy workmen pounded away and cracked their ghastlyjokes during the preparations, thecondemned Indians in tho adjacentcells were made fully aware of thenature of this unusual activity and ex-

hibited a keen interest in what wastranspiring without the lail.

On Wednesday the interpreters fromSan Carlos arrived and through themthe death warrants were rad to thedoomed Indians. Later on they werevisited by the Catholic priest FatherMonfort and several Sisturs of St.Joseph, and the serious question ofpreparation for their inevitable doomwas discussed. Two submitted to thebaptismal rites, but the old chief, GonSha, utterly refused the profferedministrations and preferred to die inthe Indian faith which transforms thebrave warrior into a solid rock, be-

cause of his firmness ; the squaw intoa bear because of her uneven temper,and the pappoose into a fish probablybecause it is only a little sucker. GonSha been spurned the well meaningminiutrations and his anrer at thesympathy expressed by the kind Sis-

ters was quite vicious.The doomed Indians retired that

night as usual, and they kept up theircustomary songs until they droppedapparently into a sleep. The guardsat in the corridor, reading; Harper'sMagazine to pass away the dullness ofthe waning hours, occasionally peer-ing through the grating of the cell tosee that all was right within its dimlylighted interior. The inmates wereapparenl.ly asleep, with their blanketsdrawn over their heads in. Indian fashion and quiet at last reigned throughout the gruesome edifice. Ine guardtook his lunch about half-po- st twelveo'clock, and peered into the cell several times without finding anythingamiss.

About two o'clock Thursday morning he was summoned to the gratingby one of the younger Indians, whoexcitedly told him that tb.e old Indian Gon Sha was dead. The guardat once gave the alarm and when assistance arrived the cell ws enteredand it was found that not only GonSha had cheated the gallows, but '.hat

and hadaccompanied him upon his journeyto the spirit vorld. The two formerwere the murderers of Diehl and thelatter of Jones, as hereinafter set forth

It was found that the Indians hadtorn strips from their" breech-clout- s

and pasted them around their necks;they then tied a secure knot by giving an extra twist, whereby, whenonce drawn tight t could npt beloosened, even if the victim felt so dis-posed. The ends of the string werethen taken by the lianas of thesuicidal aborigines and drawn tightlywith a sudden jerk, and strangulationfollowed. Neither of the Indiansmoved during this process of self destruction and to all appearance theycalmly slept beneath their blanketsuntil the plarm was given by theircomrades.

The evidence of Dr. A. S, Adler, before the coroner's jury, was that deathhad taken place between four and fivehours before he was called shortlyafter two o'clock, and therefore thefatal knots had been tied betweennine and ten o'clock on the precedingnight,

THE HANGfNJ.

The fatal Friday morning openeddark and gloomy, with lnavy rainclouds hovering low and a constantdrizzle falling. Notwithstanding theinclement weather about fifty personsassembled at the jail yard at seveno'clock, and just half an hour later thetwo Indians were swung off into eter-nity. Prayer was offered by Rev. I. T.Whittemore, and Rev. Father Monfortread the sacrament. Without the leastmanifestation of fearand Kah-dos-- la permitted the adjustment of the nooses and wero firmlysecured for their doom. They badegood bye to all who were present andcharged the interpreter to toll theirrelatives at San Carlos that they hadjoined tho Catholic Church and wouldgo to heaven.

Precisely at 7 :30 the rope was sever-ed with a hatchet and for a brief mo-ment while the heavy weight took upthe three foot of slack rope the inter-est of the spectators was intense. Sud-denly the two human forms shot upeight feet, their heads almost touch-ing the beam above, and then fellback a foot with the rebound. Therewas a slight quiver of the muscles andall was over. Both necks were in-

stantly broken by the first jerk of therope and consciousness was extinguish-ed instantaneously.

At just nine minutes after the dropfell, was pronounceddead, and five minutes later the pulseof Kah-dos-l- a ceased. The law wasvindicated and the same doom wasmeted out to the Indian murderers asthat accorded to the writes.

HISTOhY OF THE CRIMXS.

Gon-Sh- a, an Apache sub-chie- f,

and wereconvicted at the October term of theDistrict court of Pinal county for themurder of Diehl, a cattleman, at hisranch between San Carlos and theSaa Pedro river, on June 3d, 1887. Together with others they had attackedChief of Scouts Al. Sieber, and badlywounded him, and then started upona general raid of slaughter. Therewere fifteen in the party and uponleaving the reservation they providedthemselves with horses at the firstranches they came across. Arrivingat the ranch of Diehl and Seamanthey discovered the former within pis-tol range, and Gon Shay, as admittedin his testimony, made a good shotwith his pistol before Diehl realizedthat be was in danger. Gon Shay wasaccompanied by and

the remaining members of the band being secreted over alull. The finding of two carbine cartridges upon the spot from wfcich theshooting was done was the groundsfor their conviction, as they carriedcarbines using such cartridgiis. Thesetwo Indians denied having shot Diehl

Something; ofthe Resources of our Western Possessions as Depicted ly an

Intelligent and Capable Uentle-man- .

Editor Enterprise : To complywith your request to give you the re-

sult of my recent investigation in thisgreat and beautiful mountain rimmedParadise valley or open plain whic hextends more than one hundred milesin length by fifty miles in breadth,would require a volume to contain it.This great valley or open plain iscrossed from east to west by the Saltriver on the northerly part ; in the cen-

ter by the Gila river, and in the south-erly part by the sunken Santa Cruzriver. The divides between theserivers in their passage through thegreat plain being so slight the eye doesnot detect them.

As the valley of the Salt river on thenorth of this plain is so fortunate asto embrace the beautiful city of Phe-nix, now twenty years ' of age, theCapitol City of the Territory and ofMaricopa county, with a population ofabout 8,000 souls and two daily news-

papers, with all of the advertising en-ergy and push of any of the olderfrontier cities, there is little to be 8 aidabout their valley in addition to whatthey have published and made knownthroughout our Country. By thestatistics recently published by themI learn they have in this valley onehundred and seventy-si- x miles of irri-gating canals, covering 250,000 acresof land. Along and near this river is avery light sandy soil ; after leaving thissand, which extends about half a milein width, then commences quite abody of very heavy adobe land, abouttwo and a half miles in width, extend-ing towards the northeast some threemiles. On some of this adobe land the"cement or hard pan," so called, comesvery near to the surface. On land ofthis character the best crops are grainand alfalfa of which they yield enor-mous crops of the latter, four or morecrops per year and are pastured byhorses, cattle, sheep and hogs the yearround ; these animals thrive and growfat upon it at all seasons of the year.These lands naturally require irrigating very often in the hot dry summers. The soil beyond this adobebelt towards the foot hills is a lightsand, near the foot hills it becomesmore gravelly. This light soil is thebest fruit land in the valley. AboutTempe, nine miles east of Phenix, thesoil is heavy adobe with considerablealkali, though not enough to generallyinterfere with the crops of grain andalfalfa, but the land is almost worth-less for fruit growing for profit.

MESA CITY.

The Mormon settlement eighteenmiles of Phenix, on the south side ofthe river, is, as its name indicates, onthe high mesa or table land. The soilis sandy loam and well adapted to allkinds of fruit. The Mormons havemade great success in fruit growingand wine making and have made agarden of the place during their shortoccupancy of tea years.OF THE VALLEY OF THE GREAT GILA

RIVER.

Coming through your county ofPinal and west to the line of Yumacounty, I find little printed matter ofany sort concerning it and as there iabut one newspaper, the Arizona Enterprise, published at Florence thebeautiful capital of Pinal county ,to setforth its many advantages, I will gomore into details concerning my investigation in this valley.

It may be no surprise to you, but itcertainly was to me and wdl be tonearly every one outside of the valley,to learn that you have 257 miles of irrigating canals constructed and in process of construction at this time, covering 800,000 acres of land, by the following companies viz : Buckeye, GilaRiver, Enterprise, Gould Bros, Palmer,Citrus, Monarch Ditch, Gila River Irligation Company, Gila Bend CanalCompany; the canal in the Pima andMaricopa reservation for which thegovernment paid $150,000 for congtructjon js us'e4 by these ever friendlyand most .Native Americans" from way back, for irrigatingtheir lands and they are celebrated asgram growers and cattle raisers

The Florence Canal, which takestne water several miles above yourbeautiful city of the same name, has itswork now completed tp the SputhernPacific Kailroad at Casa Grande station. The width of this canal is 25feet at the bottom with sloping sides,so as to give an average width of thirty- -

six leet. it is designed to carryvolume of water four feet deep.

Ahe soil ot the vallev at the Gilariver is of a general sandy loam, verylime adobe m any of it ar)d S farSUPERIOR TO THAT OF THE SALT RIVER

VALLEY

for growing fruits. In this valleyevery variety oj grapes, Granges, lemons, olives, figs.pomegranates.peachesapricots, rench prunes, almonds.datesapples, quinces, strawberries, blackberries, (VO., are grown to great perfection and for all kinds of grain andalfalfa it has but few superiors.THE VALLEY OF THE SUNKEN SANTA

CRUZ RIVER,

is undoubtedly the finest one in theTerritory for fruit growing. This valley has several feet of a rich red loamsoil with several feet of a light sandysou underlying it.

I he valley is warmer in the winterthan either that of the Gila or Saltriver. The soil requires less irrigationthan the other valleys described andwith thorough cultivation produces toa wonderlul degree ; jt will undoubtedly prove to be the Citrus Belt of Southem Arizona. The soil never bakeslike the adobe lands further northFor fruit growing and all kinds ofagriculture and stock raising it is notand cannot be surpassed.

THE ARIZONA VINEYARD COMPANY,

At Maricopa Station, have a princelydomain of over 4000 aqres of this royalred loam soil, similar to the celebrated"Red Lands" of California, the like ofwhich is valued in California at $1000per acre for the purpose of plantingtne Muscat ot Alexandria raisin grapesaprjects, peaches, &o and thevmake their lauds pay a net dividend of20 per cent yearly upon this sum andcost of putting the lands under production.

The company purposes to plant outsix sections ot their (and in vines andtrees, one sectiqn each year, and willundoubtedly equal if not exceed Callfornia in the value of their productionsas the climate here as so dry, no dewsor fogs, the grapes store up a greaterpercentage of sugar than in Californiaand raisins can be cured right on theground in a few days after cutting fromthe vines, retaining all their bloomwhich cannot be done any where elseThe cpjnpfiny alsq Intend to lay out aiowh sue, uiey oejng at tne junctionof the Maricopa and Phenix Railroadwith the great Southern Pacific.

There are ruins ot ancient irrigatingworks directly south of Maricopa, andthe whole valley at the Santa Cruzriver south of the Southern Pacific railroad extending from forty to fiftymiles from it can, if desired, be irri-gated by water from reservoirs madeby dams in the Gila and taking thewater out above the city of Florence bycanals and conveying to the high ortable lands north of the mountainssouth of here and to a point fifteenmiles northwest of Maricopa wherethe Santa Cruz empties into the Gila,thus irrigating the whole slope to theGila river, if desired. This probablywall not be the case, the Southern Paci-fic Railroad obtain water at all of theirstations by steam pumps from wellssunk into the under ground bed of theSanta Cruz as well as the variousstock ranches, and agriculturists andhorticulturists all about them are following their example and have filedon all of the desirable lands on theplains that are covered by water.

All of the great valley will indeedsoon be made to again bloom and blossom as in ancient times when it wasoccupied by a dense civilized people,evidences of which appear all overthis beautiful plain.

The intelligent working of theselands by the improved methods ofagriculture and irrigation, abundanceof water at hand and under the control of man at all times,prove far moresatisfactory and remunerative thangold mining "with the metal all insight, as the miners say.

Mancopians are looking for the airline road from San Diego Bay toYuma to follow the Gila river to GilaBend,frora Gila Bend directly throughthe coming city of Maricopa to yourcity of Florence, and so on up the richvalley of the Gila, through Arizonaand New Mexico to Magdalena, andfrom Magdalena to Socorro the SantaFe road is already running, and fromSocorro to the town of Pan Handle inTexas the same road is already runto Chicago. When completed theywill have almost an air line from SanDiego to New York City and all of thegreat cities north east, by lines alreadyin operation. This road on its routethrough Arizona and New Mexico willundoubtedly go through the richestagricultural and mining region in thecountry.

Of the climate, too much cannot besaid in its praise. During the pastmonUi realistic winter has prevailedthroughout the eastern, middle andwestern states, and genuine blizzardsin some localities with their deadlywork. In central and southern Arizona all has been eternal and delightful sunshine.with the thermometer upto summer heat every day.

Here there are no fogs nor dews andin the hottest days in summer outdoor labor is performed without interruption. Sunstrokes are neverknown ; the heat is more bearable atall times than in the hottest weatherwith the saturated atmosphere of thenorth.

Surely the climate that permits anout door picnic and dinner of 135persons The Illinois Associatipn-"- to
