COMMUNICATIONS
From the surrounding country of local in
terest solicited,
W. F. White, Passenger Traffic Man
ager of the Santa Fe and Atlantic &
Pacific railways, has caused the follow
ing announcement to be posted along
both lines:
The management of the Santa Fe
route, desirous of increasing the busi
ness of the company, and also of fur
thering the prosperity of those whose
homes are in the territory served by its
fines, has organized an Industrial De
partment whose object will be to assist
so far as it can properly do so, in the
development of local resources and the
establishment of new industries at
points where f.-vorable opportunities
| for such industries exist. It will not
I take any financial interest in the pro
j posed industries, as it wili have no
! money to invest nor cash to contrib
ute, nor will it foster or favor any prop
osition which does not rest upon a
sound business basis; but it is proposed
to co-operate with the people in any le
gitimate enterprise favored by local
conditions, and to that end solicits cor
respondence. Communications should
be addressed to Jas. A. Davis, Indus
trial Commissioner, Great Northern
hotel, Chicago.
There are two industries that could
be established in Winslow which could
be built up, under favorable conces
sions by the railroad company, to con
siderable magnitude. One is the man
ufacture of brick and the othercement
works. It is a well established fact
that Winslow brick is far superior to
'U-kJ vi-vU r.. tdo in liie southwest.
With favorable freight rates they could
and would be shipped in both direc
tions from this point inconsiderable
quantities.
There is a large and almost inex
haust ibie deposit of gypsum here that
wi he ' a cement equal to any manufac
iurod iu tho United States, it has been
' ■ ted and proven, so that this is not a
mere assertion, but an established fact.
Now let our citizens take advantage
of this offer, get together, work in har
mony, and try to do something to build
up the town. It is to the interest of
every one who is business here, or who
owns property here, to put his shoul
der to the wheel and push these enter
prises along. They may be small, but
they will bo starters, and others are
sure to follow.
Bradstreet’s last weekly report says*
Wuh the exception of reports from a
•dozen south Atlantic coast and Gulf
l ies, jobbers at nearly all distribut
ing centers say that business is dull
end without new features. The demand
is improved at Chicago and St. Louis
for hats, hardware, shoes and dry goods,
but the trade in these lines is fair only-
Cold weather has stimulated purchases
of clothing at some points. Littiegon
: eral recovery from holiday dulness is
! reported as yet. At most centers sales
| men are just starting out. Collections
! are reported unsatisfactory, but in
! many instances merchants express
| themselves as hopeful of a goodspring
I business. The week’s total of business
I failures iu the United States is 488, one
of the largest ever reported. This is
; contrasted with 325 in the last week of
with 446 in the first week of 1896,
405 in the corresponding week of 1895
and 484 in 1894.
The value of tho mineral output of
! Arizona, including gold, silver, lead,
j copper and limestone, for the last year
;is fixed at $13,978,233. The mining in
dustry of the territory is in its infancy
as yet. There are more good undevel
oped claims of gold, silver and copper
in Arizona than any other state oi* ter
ritory in the Uifion. When they aro
made producers this territory will take
the front rank in the output of prec
ious metals.
Arizona’s banks and business men
are doing business on a solid founda-
S rion. While banks are failing and busi
[ nes3 houses are closing their doors ail
I over the cast, there bus not been a fail
ure in our territory.
; Oar old friend A. F. Banta has sus
| pended the publication of the Popu
| list and commenced that of the Pick
and Drill.
The Lrß Vegas Optic says: it is un
derstood that the Santa Fe manage
ment intends to secure control of the
Atlantic & Pacific line, after the fore
closure sale, and a standard in tlri dif
ferent grades of work will then be es
labliebed on that road:

There is still a good deal of money
in the range cattle business and we
have a case in point of view. Early
last summer the Eddy-Eissell cattlS
company of Colorado decided to close
out their busiuess, and offered their
! stock of cattle for sale. Moore, Wil
-1 liams & Good c? the Texas Panhandle
purchased the entire stock of cattle,
which was estimated at between fifteen
and sixeeen thousand head. During
the past three months 1 i,OOO head, in
cluding 2,090 calves, have been resold,
with enough steer calves now on band
to pay for the entire purchase, leaving
j the firm 4,000 cows and half as many
: heifer calves, as their profit on the
! transaction. These with the bulls on
the range will give them a clear profit
; of at least $05,000 on the deal.—South
