The North and South Road will

or six weeks. By July next, trains

mine. From that point to Phoenix

vance rapidly, our agriculturists
will feel stimulated to put in large
crops with tiie certainty of finding
markets for their produce; capital
ists will invest and make loans at
low rates of interesr, and a genuine
live boom will be the result. With
our superior climate, th » finest
agricultural lands om earth, an
abundance ater for irrigating
purposes, the excellent mines sur
rounding us in every quarter, the
most skeptical cannot fail to see
the great change that will take
place.—Florence Tribune.
Today (Monday) John Duke
starts to operate a stag* line be
tween Prescott and the Gladiator
> mining camp. Thus it is that
Prescott, the mining hub, throws
out small commercial arteries, as
mining camp after mining e mp
springs up ,- a *■’••• surrounding
mountains. The prospector goes
out and discovers, the miner de -
velops, the pack tnin makes a
trail, the trail gradually widens to
a -road, the stage line starts, the
new mining camp grows and soon
needs a narrow gauge railroad.
Get up early some morning and
you will be surprised to see the
number of stages starting out of
Prescott in different directio is. Ft
takes business to support any sort
of a stage line in this country, as it
co?ts more to keep a horse than a
common, every-day mall—barring,
of course, whiskey drank by the
man. Some people say railroads
kill off freighting and stage busi
ness, but where one line is stopped
by a railroad, three to four always
take its place.—Courier.
Herbert Heywood in his now
famous article on Arizona, said :
“The pending statehood bill pro
vides for ushering Arizona into the
Union without a ratifying vote by
the people of the territory, forcing
them to accept a state constitution
framed two pears ago by thirty ir
responsible men who represented
the worst element of the non-tax
paying. office-seeking population.
They drafted a i i nstitution which
is a cloak to the prevailing vices of
a frontier territory, etc., etc.” The
most forcible denial of this infamous
assertion may be found in the con
stitution itself Let the statehood i
committee see that each senator is
furnished with a copy and a circular
attachment containing Heyvvood’s
criticism. It will do more to dis
prove his charges than a host of
resolutions —Prospector.
Mr Mcßae of St. David has
filet! his claim with tne clork of
- the board of supervisors for S2OOO.
, This amount was offered by tin*
1 board three years ago for the first
f flowing well to be struck where the
> depth did not exceed five hundred
* feet. The well is now flowing at
the rate o f 21,000 gallons in 24
hours. The law requires a flow of
.. not less than 18,000 gallons.
There is an attempt being made
to organize another water storage
company nt St. Johns. The site
they have in contemplation is about
three miles south of St. Johns, And
it is said that with an expenditure
of about $5,000 there can he made
a reservoir that will enable our far
mers to more than double their
acreage of tillable land. There are
several small ranches, however, thit
will have to be purchased before
the water can be turned into the
reservoir. S on* of the land which
would be flooded is patented and
the rest has been settled upon for a
number of years. The owners
should be willing to s< 11 at a reason
able figure, as tbe reservoir would
be of benefit to the entire com
munity.—Herald.

The Herald says another con
tract has been let for an additional
twelve miles of road on the S. F.»
P. <fc P. road which is additional
encouragement to tlmsw who are
anxiously awaiting the construction
of that road into central Arizona.
The importance of that road in
opening up additional and available
markets to this portion of the ter
ritory cannot, b overestimated and
that the opening of the rich min
ing regions through which it pass
es will contribute greatly s o the
rapid development and wealth of
the territory at large there is no
question.
The energy of one-half the world
see ns to have turned to gold min
ing To t’»is one, unvarying pro
duct of ternd and unassailable
value, men, am : l the ruins of all
other forms of business, in their
desperation have turned. Here is
the one industry that knows no
competition, nor can over-produc
tion destroy; and every dollar mined
is a dollar added to the wealth of
the world.—Nugget.
One of the post-office laws pro
vides that if a person orders his
paper stopped he must pay all ar
rearages or the publisher may con
tinue to send it until payment is
made and collect the whole whether
the paper is taken from the office
or not. Tiier * can be no lagal di
continuance until payment is made.
It is well to remember this.—Stock

The Treasury Department at
Washington announces that the
gold output for 1893 in the United
States reached $37,000,000, an in
crease over 1892 of $4,000,000. In
Colorado the output his increased
from $3,000,000 in 1892 to $5,000,
000 in 1893, while the gains in
other gold-producing sections are
unusually larg *. —Mining and Scien
