From the Albuquerque Citizen. 1 The Santa Fe railroad will enter the" city of Phoenix within the next 3(X days, says ttie Arizona Daily Gazette. The Santa Fe, Preseott & I'honix railroad, locally known as the north and south line, is to be taken over by the parent organiza tion and operated as a part of the main line. This information is authentic; and eouies from the highest source of iti fonm.tion. Norton B. Ileum and N. K. Fairbank of Chicago, a-jd Simon S. Muapliyof Detroit, who hold a inujorty of the bonds of the north and su'.!i road, were notified by the Santa Fe last month that the Sauta Fe would foreclose its option on the bonds an.l take possession at once. Wi'.h the panic of 18J3 the Santa Fe was placed iu a bad way financially, and for several years the road was in the hands of a receiver. It could not render the financial assistance to the north uud south road that it had been the intention of doing, but in order to control the new road it endorsed the bonds by taking an option on them which it was privileged to take up at any time alter the expiration of fife years. Upon this endorsement by the Santa Fe, the gentlemen named above pur chased the bonds, aa-i lite roaa was built. Recently complaints against the management of the road have been so numerdus that the Santa Fe con cluded to take over the line. When the road was first built the people of southern Arizona hailed it as great deliverer, but in a short time t entered a pool with the Maricopa & Phoenix and Southern Pacific. This as been especially DOtieeable the last few years and finally coming under the personal attention of President Ripley, that gentleman directed the legal de partment to take steps to close the Santa Fe's option on the Santa Fe, Preseott & Phoenix. When Frank Murphy went east 10 ays ago it was given out that he had gone on aa extended trip for his health, but the fact is he went to close tne details of the transfer of his roud to the Santa Fe. ' The north and south line will be con ucled ai a division of the Santa Fe proper, and it is expected mat it. Wells will be retaiaed as superintend ent. v'l. Alt, .!?. Mf. M, iSf, .',!. .!. ,Jl!

The shaft is now down to a depth of 550 feet and is virtu ally a four compartment shaft, being 24 feet in length and about 8 feet iu width. At this depth the entire shaft , is in a very rich bed of copper ore that runs 50 per ttent and over, the ore being principally an oxide. Out of ti.is five feet of ground the value of the copper taken out is $7,000, to say nothing of the value of the other metals that may be in the ore. We have been credibly informed that this ore is also very rich in silver. This we believe, when everything is considered, is the richest strike of the Copper Queen, and this saying a great de:il. for- the Copper Queen mines at Cisbcc are in the first rauk of the bonanzas of the world, a fact that but few people kno. This is a further proof, also, of the tremen dous possibilities of the wonderful cop per producing limestone beltatliisbee This shaft is about of a mile south, or nearly so, of the Copper Queen smelter. Non-Partisanship in Municipal Politics. (From the San Francisco Examiner.! The reports of the spring elections in Illinois show how rapidly voters in the cities and town are growing out of the partisan ideas that have been cultivated by generations of politicians. Reports from ninety-two cities and towns of the 17th iostant, show a remarkable absence of reference to either Republi cans or Democrats. Sixty-one of the cities reporting mike no mention whatever of the National party desig nations. "People's parties, "Citi zens' " parties, "License," "No- License," and similar names are met, and in some instances no designations at all are given. Men were elected, not because of an organization, but be cause they were trusted by their fel low-citizens. Even in the thirty-one cities and towns in which Republicans and Demo crats put up local tickets, a like growth of independence was shown. Twenty of these places elected mixed tickets leaving only eleven that "stood by the party." In all other towns the voters chose their officers by their belief in their fitness to perforin the duties and not by this party label. The American people, are coming to realize the absurdity of choosing men to manage their streets and schools and hospitals according to the views they hold on the tariff, or the Philip pines, or the navy. They are ready to choose local officials according to their position on local affairs, leaving National affairs to be settled at the fiJational elections. A Colossal Swlndie. From the Nogales Oasis. Last week we met a gentleman re cently returned from Cape Nome and other parts of Alaska, who asserted most positively that -the alleged rich mineral discoveries in that region have mostly been greatly magnified, and that the wonderful Ends are 110 more frequent and numerous than they were in Arizona, Sonora, Colorado, and else where, wbea those regions were virgin ground, lie stated that the money re ived by transportation companies alone for carrying people and merchan dise into the frozen north will exceed by many millions the entire mineral output of Alaska. All the rich finds are njagnmed, and glowing accounts thereof circulated f iir and wide to draw people to the region, to reach which they must travel over the steamship lines of the transportation companies. In other words, the whole thine is a gigantic bunco game by whiih the steamship companies profit. Were a private individual to resort to similar methods for obtaining money he would be jailed for false pretenses. The law can reach a single man, but it cannot reach a steamship company. The Canals of Ejypt. The great system of canals which afford fertility to Egypt h is been de veloped at au expeuae of fearful sa;Ter ing and labor on the part of its con structors. Many of the largest of the canals have beea built by unpaid labor, or what is known as't he"corvee." When Mehemet Ali, at the beginning f the century, began the canals which to-day cut up the country, corvees of more than 300,000 men were seen, drafted from every part of Egypt, digging the Mehmoudieh eanal. At that time the labor demanded annually by this despotic power corresponded to the employment of 430,000 laborers for four months. The poor "fellahs" who were thus driven to onerous labors usually received thereby no benefit to their own lands. The methods em ployed in excavating were the most primitive. The only tools ,used were the fass, a kind of large hoe, and the couffin, a basket woven from the stems of palms. The corvee was usually divided into diggers and carriers, and children frequently constituted the latter. The corvee was directed by none too gentle overseers. In the dig ging of Egypt's canals, the lash has played an important part. mm - r c c 1 1 ' l r.'P Ax yi: V-F-A s-V.-A . r- Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years th standard.

The party who takes hold is a thorough mining and mill man, well known throughout the southwest, who, if there is any possi bility of making a paying proposition out of the low grade free gold ore, can certainly do it. Mr. W. E. Pomeroy of Mesa is associated with the gentleman, Mr. John A. Oovvaa of California. It is expeeted that the ten-stamp mill up on the properly will make a start ubout the 20th cf May Republican. They say there is an enterprising rancher this isn't original up in the Salt River valley who has sol?ed the irrigation problem. He plants spuds and onions in alternate rows. When the onions grow np a little they are so strong they cause the potatoes' eyes to ! water and that furnishes moisture to mature the crop. This same ingenious rancher raises custard pies by cross ing the egg plant with the milk weed and sowing a little sugar over the ground when a light rain comes. They have to hustle to get away from the Arizona farmer. Globe Times. Big Strike at Btsbee.

The Prospector is informed that the Copper Queen Co. . at Bisbee- have opened up a very rich body of ore in their new working shaft, that they are now sinking upon the Spray mine. The fact that they have stuck any ore of consequence in this shaft is of it self astonishing, for the company chose the spot npon which this shaft was started because it was believed that after much 'surveying, by their very competent corps of engineers, they would encounter no ore here. They desired to have solid limestone all the way down, for the obvious reason that the shaft would be and remain more substantial than if sunk in ore that It is said that Eiison tha wizard has completed the eonstrustion of a ma chine by which the sands of the desert can be relieved of gold- at a com parative reasonable cost. If this be true the machine can be operated with out water, and as the Star suggests, Arizona may become the greatest gold producer in the world for we have hundreds of sqnare miles of gold bear deserts, as well as valleys, and the percentage of gold is most inviting. Charles W. Pugh, editor of the South- western S tockman, Farmer and Feeder, has been appointed special agent to collect live stock statistics for Arizona for the twelfth census. Mr. Pugh thoroughly understands the duties of the office and will make an excellent census officer. A Washington dispatch says the President has vetoed the bill recentlv passed by Congress opening up the Navajo Indian reservation to miners. The dispatch adds that the bill was rusned through Congress without tne officials of the interior department b ing consulted. Only six years ago the reservation was extended, because these Indians, who- in the past were very warlike, had become peaceable and agriculturally inclined. When you come across a man who is uneasy if he owes a man a dollar, you come across a pretty good sort of a citi zen, even if he does not belong to your church or vote your ticket. f Winslow MaiL - TO THE DEAF; might afterwards be worked out from j;ew yori.
