Building goes merrily on by
jerks owing to the inability to se
cure the needed materials as fast as
they are wanted.
The salary of 12,000 a year paid
the collector of customs at Xogales
appears not to be large enough.
Better raise it a little.
Dr. Geo. W. Vickers is now at
the helm of Arizona's leading daily,
the Arizona Republican. Col. S.
M. McCowan, who has been man
aging editor for the past year, is an
excellent writer and has placed the
Republican on its present high
plane.
Today the grade on the Santa Fe
and Grand Canyon railroad will be
completed to the canyon. The
work of laying the steel is pro
gressing rapidly and but about
two miles yet remain to be covered.
At present, the stages meet the train
ix miles from the canyon, but this
will be reduced as the liallasting
progresses.
Because of lack of space last
week, mention regarding the open
ing of the new smelter of the Val
Verde Copper Co. was omitted.
Thisenterprize is one that has long
leen needed in this section of Ari
zona and will enable many mines
to yield profitably where before it
was impossible. The company ex
Iects to have' its smelter in opera
tion about the first of October, and
the date of the "blow-in" will mark
a new era for the mines of northern
and central Arizona. A perusal of
their notice on page 7 will give
some idea of the plans and equip
ment of the company, which are of
a niW't extensive nature.
We are glad to see that the Santa
Fe railway system has officially
adopted the American way of spell
ing the word " canj'on." Formerly
the company 8elled it in the Span
ish way, with an accented "n,'
which has the sound of "ny," but
so many American papers, nowa
days, have no foreign letters, that
when the word was copied by them
it appeared as "canon," which is
neither Spanish nor English. The
publication of the United States
geological survey and the works of
all the best authorities have, for
some time past, used the "y," and
the adoption of this style by the
great railway system of the south
west will do much to banish the
mongrel "canon." The tendency
of the time is to drop all super flu
ous letters, but in this case the "y"
is not superfluous, because the
word cannot be properly pro
nounced without it. Journal
Democrat.
"The Santa Fe will have its new
line of road to the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado in Arizona com
pleted and open for trafic on Sept.
25. The line to the Grand Canyon
is only about ten miles long, but it
enables passengers to ride in cars
to the very brink of what is prob
ably the most marvelous canyon in
the world." Journal-Democrat. '
The gentleman who penned the
above paragraph knew (?) all about
the canyon and the railroad when
he wrote those few lines. It is
strange that a newspaper with the
standing of the Journal-Democrat
should employ such well-jo8ted (?)
men. "Only ten miles" to the
very brink of what is probably
the most marvelous canyon in the
world." Strange that so much
time and money have been con
sumed in building ten miles of
track. The Journal-Democrat had
better send that man out here, so he
may gather a few facts before pub
lishing such statements to the gen
eral public.
Ejecting Settlers.
Forty-three ranchers and all the
residents of Fairbank. in the San
Pedro valley, have been notified to
leave their homes, which are on the
Boquillas Spanish land grant. The
grant came into the possession of a
large cattle company recently and
will be fenced in as soon as the set
tlers are ejected.
One rancher has built a fort and
proposes to stand off the company's
cowboys who will be engaged in
clearing the land of the ranchers
and their improvements. The grant
embraces 17,355 acres. Los Ange
