SATURDAY, - . J)C. 4, 1830,
The Colorado desert, was the
most meraorrthlH in the railway
annals of the Yuma branch of the
Southern Pacific. The eastward

sswitcn, seven miles west
T,imh Tank, hy a simoon
terally toolc all the ballast
road-bed away. The train
careened over to one side, and the
engineer and brflkemen only pre
vented the locomotive from keel
ing over outright by shoveling in
dirt and improvised ballast on on 9
side or the other of the track, as
the occasion demanded. There
was a detention of sixteen hours
there, which the hungry passen
gers and train hand9 improved by
breaking into the stores of canned
pork cna beans consigned to Ari
zona merchants. The incident
was one to be long remembered.
AN ENTIRE NIGHT,
Winch, like the suTiasr f inch
upon a aan'i nose, is aseh,
With the new time schedule ot
the B. & O., which went into ef
fect on Sunday last, a new through
train was added from Chicago to
the East, which now jives the
popular Old Road three daily
trains out of this city, morning,
afternoon and night. All three
of these trams runevery day in the
week. The 5jl5 P. M. train con
tinues, as it has for months pasi,
to be an entire night the quickest
to Washington of any train out
of this citv. The B. & O. is the
pa y route between the East and

to the cars in use on other lines

the advatages possessed in otuer

Of the improvements the most
noticeable one is the length of the
car, it being from one to two sec
tions longer than tho oroiu&ry

and more comodious in every
way, An improvement which
will add very much to the plea

the remarkably large smoking
apartment in the car. It is fully
ten feet square, affording ample

made relative to the requirements 1
ofthe 'aw us to work on mining
claims; that is, the date when
such work must be done. We
publish below the amendment to
the law passd in January lust.
It would pay our mining friends
to cut it out, and retain it for futu

An act to amend sections 202-1
and 2325 of the Revised Statues
of the Uniled States concerning
mineral lands.
Be it enacted by the Senate

2325 of the Revised Statues be
amended by adding thereta the
following words: ' Provided,

Arizona's rood Name.
Arizona enjoys a very good re
putation in the East. In the
management of of her mines the
Comstock "system" has been re
versed. Instead of constantly
calling for assessments, the an
nouncements of a mine entering
the ranks of the dividend paying
is by no means infrequent. This
fact ii duly appreciated by careful
business men, and it cannot but
result in a great inpouring of cap
ital to help in the development
of our properties. There are a
few cases of " manipulation "
coming to the ironl, but they so
shadowed by the honest and eco
nomical management of so many
othes properties that their evi
effect is not felt. On this head
the New York Mining News has
the following tosay:
The management of the Arizo
na properties placed in New Y01I
has been uniformly .tn.-iiMe and
universally satisfactory. We wil
name no names, hut we venture
to suggest that the example set
by soma Arizona parties might
with advantage be followed by
managers of mines elsewhere.
Business principals jr. minings is
what we want.
Weekly Arizona Citizen.
Silver Dailars.
Secretary of the Treasury Sher
man nnver liked the law which
required him to cause to he coin
ed not lei's than 2,000,000 nor
more than 4,000,000 silver uollars
per month. Fearing, however, i
that Congress mightpass a voittjnuv selection, even in hi3 own
1
of censure upon him, he agreed to
obey it, but he he has taken paiti-1
cular care to coin only the small- j
est limit, It is understood that '
he will, in the interest of bond-1
holders, recomended the repeal
of that law, but such suggestion is
not likely to be much heeded by
either the present or by the next
Congress. All the members from
the Pacific coast will be against it
no matter what their politics so
will the Colorado member, all tho
Nationals and perhaps all the
Democrats, with not a few Re
publicans. And it 'is now an -nnuncea
that if Secretary Shen
man shall undertake to do this
thing in the interest of the na
tional banks and bondholders,
that the Director of the Mint will
take Issue with him thereon and
attempt to show that we can go
on with safely coming silver dol
lars until the amount shall have
reached $336,000,000, being the
same amount of silver that France
prospers under.
Mexican Railways.
From the Diario Official of the
2-Hh ult. publiihcd at the city of
Mexico, we gather tho following
nteresting intelligence concern
ng the progress of railway con
struction in our neighboring Ri
public:
The works on tho Pachuca and
Tulancingo Railroad Liue go on
with great activity.
The works on the Central Itaib
road are progressing with great
speed. It is expected that on the
25lh of November the track shall
be laid to near Tula, about GO kil-
omelies from this capital.
The .works of embankments,
etc. of the Sullivan Palmer Cora
pany are to begin within a very
few days, 1 hey have already be
gan the opening of a tunnel at
Dos Boquetes, near Llano do Sa
lazar, on the ro:id to Toluca.
The completion of the line be
1 ween Merida and Progreso (Yu
catan) is very near at hand. They
are on the eve of receiving from
Europe two locomotives of groat
power, freight and passenger cars
and some olher materials and fix
ings; ana wu?n received, uie
road will be open to traffic.
According to El Corree del Pa
I'ifleo, published at Mazatlan,
the works on the Sonora Railroad
are much advanced; the enbauk
ments arc completed for nine
miles towards Hermosi'.lo. The

Griffith's valuation" the hases
upon which many tenants of the
Irish Land League are willing to
pay rent until such time as this

is the work of a government
office, which inspects all land and

order also that drainage and ollu-r
loans may be made thereof by
the Government, It is no dtmbt

refuse to pay anything.
Garfield $iys he will not make
mind, for h:s Cabinet, before
February. This should shut up
gossip mongers, who hav already
turned out half a dozen Cabinets
for him. Garfield denies having
asked John Sherman to retain
the Secretaryship of the Treasu-
y. it is more tnan prooauie inai
he will make a selection of men
for their special fitness for the
office, rather than lor their politi
cal reputation. Good and effi
cient service alone will satisfy the
country; and active, gaseous poli-
licans are hardly ever capable
admisistralors.
The New York Herald states
that 478,000 persons born in for-
eign countries are residents of
that city, while 727,000 of the
inhavitants are natives. Two-fifth
of the people are, therefore, fore
igners by birth. It should be re
membered, in considering these
proportions, that there is a very
large foreign population that does
not vote, made up of agents, p;rl
ners and cleiks who merely re
present foreign busiuess houses.
The Postmaster-General, in his
report, favors the plan to reduce
the fee for money orders not e::
ceeding $0 to five cents and fo ex
tend the maximum limit of an
order from $50 to $100, so that the
increased commiss ons leeeived
for large orders may offset the
loss resulting from the reduced
fees for small orders.
