Arizona Freiglrt Does Pay--Bis.

ern Pacific Railroad Company,
which is represented as having
built, and as running, long line
of road over Il desert that gives
no way-tratiic for nearly two hun
dred miles. As far as concerns the
road from San Francisco to Los
Angeles, we are disposed to adj
Inire the pluck that traversed long
barren stretches of the Tulare and
Mohave California; plains, and
conquered the stupendous difficult
ties Of Tehatchepe and San Fer
nando. We can believe that this
part OF the Southern Pacific road
gives no profitable return on con-
struction or operation, and we are
sorry for it. But as regards Ari-
zona, we can prove it to be the
province On which is levied the
best tribute that goes into railroad
Golfers. For the road north of Los
Angeles, Arizona is not response
Bile. From that city to Cotton, the
ties are laid on the ground almost
without any grading at all, and
the rails run through fertile val
leys on which depends rich back
country. That piece Of road cost
little and ought to be paying well;
Arizona takes no credit for its
profits. If the Southern Pacific
loses money in hauling our freight
over the Tehatchepe, let our goods
be delivered to the McFadden
Bros, whose steamer Newport
will land them at Anaheim for
So per ton, as it does for the Los
Angeles merchants.
To secure the trade of Arizona,
was necessary to bald the road
|om Cotton to hummelshine,
i97 miles. The company's charter
allowed it to issue bonds at the
rate of $4,000 per mile. For these
bonds they received prices rang
ing above seventy per cent: near
ly SIS, 600 in cash per mile, or near
~ three millions in money for
building the road over a nearly
level desert country, and which
could not have cost $4,000 per
mile, Or less than two millions, in
Guiding bridge and equipment.
The company was over a million
ahead Oh mere construction of all
the road which can be Justly
charged to account of Arizona. 1t
is true that these bonds will have
to be paid twenty or thirty years
from noW--Or--? Whoever own the
road at that time will be the ones
to fret about payment. The pres
ent company has made money by
building our 1877 miles Of road.
Now for its operation. One train,
mixed, is run daily between here
and Los Angeles, at a cost of less
than $500 for wages, coal, wear,
and everything; of this expense
Arizona can stand $50, charging
the balance to California trade.
The trains run at low speed. Main
tenance of track from here to Col
ton, costs less that 500 per day.
Total daily expense does not ex-
ceed $500 day. We do not pre-
tend to absolute accuracy, and if
the reader chooses to double our
figures, or multiply them by ten,
he can do SO without destroying
our argument. Putting the pas
senger travel at five each way, (it
Is very much greater) ten in all
daily, andalmost all going through
to Los Angeles, the yield of this
business alone is over 5000 per
day. The average of freight cars
has been over six per day. Sixty
tons at an average of $40 per ton
give daily receipts of $2700-total
$1,000, without counting back
freights. In 355 days the company
thus gets nearly a million dollars
net profit from Arizona freights,
