. To celebrate the find I determined to treat myself to some bacon, of which I am very fond. There is no such thing as Mexican bacon, you know. The duty in Mexico on pork is 70 per cent. Across the line at Ocha- ville, Arizona, I could get bacon at 20 cents per ( 48 ) pound, and I determined to ride over and get some. When I was returning with four pounds of my favorite meat I was captured by Mexican Officers. They took me before a magistrate of some kind, who declared the government should confiscate everything I had. His orders were obeyed, and I had to leave the country robbed of everything I then possessed. The Mexicans were only too glad to find an excuse to steal my mine. They did not want to see an American possessed of so much Mexican silver as my mine showed. From the June 26< 1891, Issue of The Enterprise ^^Black Bart The Sccond^^ From the Globe Democrat.Henry B. Miller, the stage robber of Ari- zona, who has won the title of “Black Bart the Second,” was registered at the city prison at San Francisco, by Sheriff Paul, of Arizona, who is escorting his prisoner to San Quentin. About three and a half years ago Miller, according to his own story, ran short of money and went on the road between Florence and Casa Grande, Arizona, to await the coming of Uncle Sam and Wells, Fargo & Co., to replenish hij empty purse.
