The great railroad strike of midsummer will live in memory as ono of the dis asters of a most disastrous year. Vale, 1894! Let us welcome the dawning of the ney jear with renewed hope and ambition. Everybody brace up! It is today the painful duty of Toe Sun to record the sudden death, at 1:30 'clock thii morning, of tho Hon. fames G. ,Fair, Ex-United States scoa-- or from the famous Silver State of Nevada. Senator Fair was by birth in Irishman, having boon born in far Clougher. County Tyrone, Ireland, in December, 1831. He came to this country when a mere lad aud was by education and natural proclivities a thorough AmerUan, although he never (orgot the land of bit birth nor the dear ones left behind. As hit , wealth increased so did his generous gifts to kinsfolk back in the land of the sham rock and the thorn. The Fair family settled in Geneva, Illinois, but that place was too slow and narrow in its limits for young Fair's broad views and ambitions, to he resorted to Chicago, then au em-b-yo city, where he engaged in var ious occupations aud gained much use ful experience. In 1819, at the age of 17, lie caught the gold fever and set out for Sutter's Creek and in 1850 he was swinging the miner's pick. He was content to follow mluing in Cali fornia until 1860 when he began to battlo with the silver ores of Virginia City aud soon became a milliouare. He was then elected senator from the Sil ver State, but public life was irksome to him and at tho expiration of bis term ho retired to private life. He was always a bold, active business man and engaged in tho most stupen dous undertakings and was remarka bly successful in results. He was a faithful and generous friend and in many respects a public benefactor. His death will bo koenly felt and de plored by multitudes who appreciated the nobility of his nature and onjoyed his confidence and shared in his generosity. The remains of John Moses Brannen vere consigned to their last resting place Monday. Toe funeral o" ego moved from the house of P. J. irannon to the church of the Nativity, where tho impressive service for the lead was performed in the presence of i numerous gathering of the relatives, friends and acquaintances of the de ceased, who was held in high esteem ind generally beloved by tho people of Flagstaff. Father Fieri preached an appropriate sermon, in which he paid a glowing tribute to the worth of Mr. Brannen, and after the services the funeral march was resumed to tho city of the dead near the church. The followiug pallbeaiers officiated: J. H. Liud, Charles A. Keller, E. S. Clark, A. T. Cornish, E. J. Babbitt, John Vorics. IT'S ALL GONE! GLEANED UP!

I The escape of a murderer aud ano ther desperate character from tho Phoenix jail Christmas day seems to have been the result of most reprehen sible carelessness upon the part of tho authorities. Price bad been sentenced to hanjr early in February, yet no death watch was placed upon him and ho seems to have been allowed unwar ranted liberty. When a mau's neck is in jeopardy ho will take desperate chances, and extra precautions should be takeu to guard against his escape In his report for" 1894, Secretary Morton says: "It will no doubt prore a matter of infinite pride aud satlsfao tion to the real farmers the practical agriculturists of the United States to learn that, out of the total exports of this country for the fiscal year 1894, including the products of tho mine, of tho forest, of the fisheries, of the man lifaetorics, together with every miscel laneous commodity, amounting to 1869,204,937 farm products aggregate a value of (628,363,038. All the other exports in that year from this republic amount to only $240,841,899. This proves that for tho fiscal year 1894, tho exports evolved by farmers from tho farms of the United States were 72.28 per cent in cash valuo, of the total exports of tho Amcricau repub lic for that period of time." I. Br the startling admissions of ono of tho New York police captains who was placed upon the witness stand b the Loxow committee, the police force of the metropolis of America is shown to have been the most corrupt munici pal body in existence. Tho most dam ning evidence lias been produced against some of tho police commission crs, and if the guilty ones do not wear striped suits at Sing Sing, it will be to the everlasting disgrace of New York. In has been shown that in order to hold a position oil the force, a man was ob liged to sell his manhood. One patrol man who reported a notorious dive to his captain was compelled to apologize to the painted woman who presided over the placo because she was a friend of one of the commissioners. Cap taincies were sold and common police men were bribed for a song or even a basket of peaches. And beneath all Ibis disgracoful condition of affairs ap peared the snarling face and grasping paw of the Tammany tiger, which was tbfi bulwark of corruption in New York City, juufjl public opinion and republican votes, knocked he under pinning from toe foundation. A dollar gets bigger the you get away from it. There is considerable illness in town. Several of the children are down with the scarlctina, but the doctors do not apprehend an epidemic. Hon.

Wilson Hamilton, who has been spending some time in the Verde Val ley under tho chaperouago of the old frontiersman, Al Doyle, returned much pleased with what ho saw. He says tho Verdo Valley has tho most charming climate in tho world, and that there is a large area of land there, now worthless, that with Irriga tion would bo most productive in graiu, vegetables and fruit aud so sup port a largo aud prosperous popula tion. As tho Verde, Oak and Beaver creeks carry a large volume of watei, a system of irrigation could be con structed at a cost of about f 150,000 that would water every aero in the val ley, and the land that is now scarcely worth the taxes would bo increased in valuo from $50 to $100 per acre. Referring to the mines and mineral resources of the Verdo Mountain, Mr Hamilton says there Is gold enough in that range to pay tho national debt and forever sot at rest the question of stan dard coinage As a matter of fact The Sf'j? Jias long kuown that there aro some of the best mines in the world in the Verde range, and the more thoso mlucs are developed, the more their mints become apparent Tho difficulty iu tho way of opening up that region and utilizing its agricultural aud mineral resources lies iu its isola tion. It needs a railroad from Flag staff, and Hjjs road, according to Mr. Hamilton's investigations, should run south tweuty-two miles to Munu's ranch, thouce southwest live nillos to the river, then down through Jack'.' Cau yon to the Big Park, where it could either tako a wcsteily direction through Schcrmnn's rauch or run to the east of the Red Rock divide down the dry Beaver to Cottonwood on tho Verde river, makiug a total distance of about fifty miles. This would open tho whole Vcrdo country, bringing tho laud into market and proxc an im portant feedur to tho Santa Fe system, Mr. Hamilton was also muuh Inter ested In tho ancient ruins of the Verdo aud brought up many interesting colics with him which lie prizes very highly.
