. 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 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.
