Independent of San Francisco.

The Central and Southern Paci- fic railroad companies are some times charged with a want of con- sideration for Arizona interests. But they are opening up to us the markets of New York and other eastern cities. not only making us independent of San Francisco, but actually giving our merchants better through rates of freight than they do those of the latter city. They haul goods of all classes, for the interior of Ari- zona, from New York to Yuma for 8 cents currency per pound; while they charge San Francisco merchants from 4 to 6 cents on the same goods, though they trans port our wares 720 miles farther. San Francisco may grumble about 1t, but Arizona should not.

than 50 miles have already been used on new roads, and in lag ging the San Fernando tunnel. There cannot be over 60,000 ties, 20 miles, left there, by actual count; though they are scattered to cover country enough to look like five times that number.
 Instead of there being now
 on the Pacific Coast an accumu- lation of railroad material for heading off Tom Scott, it actually looks as if there is not enough in all California for keeping old roads in proper repair.
 The inquirer at Yuma is told of the immense depositsat Whining ton and Oakland; the one at Will mington learns they are all in Oakland and Yuma; and the news paper reporters at San Francisco are made to believe they have all been pushed to the front at Yuma except what still remain at Will mington awaiting transportation.
 The clear, dry air of Arizona produces wonderful effects of re- fraction; sand, shrubs and stones are often transformed by mirage into semblance of lakes, cities and battlements. But it requires the heated atmosphere of the corner of Fourth and Townsend streets to magnify Q bunch of matches into a stack of railroad ties. The public has been deluded long enough with a "fata morgana" of railroad progress in Arizona; it now demands that actual work be done, or that the pretence be abandoned. We want a little more work on the plains ot Ari- zona and less in the lobbies at Washington: more mileage and less mirage.

GREAT improvements in the telephone have been made by Lieut.. Philip Reade, U. s. A. This officer is in charge of the mil itary telegraph line running through Arizona and, with the facilities at his command for study of the subject, has become an accomplished electrician. He has lectured on telephony in Southern California and we hope he will do the same In Arizona. His improved pocket telephone transmits sounds farther than any of the other telephones now before the public. The tick of a watch, a whisper or sigh are transmitted by his instrument as far as is usually done by other in- struments for the ordinary tones of the voice. We state these facts on excellent authority.

Terminus ef the Southern Pacific,

At intervals during the past year exchanges have come to us
 with a prophetic vail over the de- parture forever of the glory of
 Yuma as a center of business: the Southern Pacific railroad was be- ing rlshed through into Arizona, and Yuma was to exist only for railroad convenience as a meal station. Some of our citizens got timid and feared to improve pro- perty in an expiring town. But we still exist, and are likely to remain, as THE TERMINUS of the Southern Pacific Railroad for years to come, if not forever. Big reports are published Of the acti- witty of that road and of its being pushed across the continent, with or without subsidy. Its locomo- tives first crossed the Colorado river and landed in Arizona on the 30 of September last-nearly four months ago. Since that time the road has been "pushed across the continent" to the extent of some 1500 yards; just far enough through the town of Yuma to get room for turntable, engine house, coal platforms and other para. phernalia of a railroad TERMINUS.
 There is no present indication around here of intention to push another foot "across the contin- ent," except in the fact that there are not yet provided even the shadows of accommodation for pas sengerS nor for delivering freight to wagons. A terminus usually has both: way-stations very rarely have neither.
 But this is a weak argument compared with the entire absence here even of material necessary to proper repair of the road, to say nothing of no accumulations of ties or rails for driving the work ahead whenever Congress may give the right of way. The press Some portions of it-assures us that everything is in readiness for building at least 14O miles of road into Arizona this year. The as- surance was as positive last sum- mer as it is now; yet for four months we have looked in vain | for any indication of its being realized. On the contrary, every thing now indicates that Yuma will remain the terminus. !

Capture of Suspected Stage Rob-
 bers.


 Two men last week came ill to Desert Sta tion and by their conduct gave rise to sus- picions that they were the parties who robbed the stage near that place few weeks ago. 4 report was current that they had used violence at the station, but it was incorrect When Labaree and the cook went out to look at the horses the men got suspicious and rode off without finishing the meal they had ordered. A description of them was sent to Tucson and deputy sheriff A. G. Buttner came out on the stage. On Monday description of them was received at Maricopa Wells, but they had avoided the station, passing south of it. The men struck across the desert to Happy Camp, but on arriving there they found It. Winchester and detachment of recruits. Seeing the soldiers they put spurs to their horses and dashed past without stopping for water. Nothing was seen of them at Gila Bend. They took dinner at Kenyons and were at Oatman Flat when the Tucson stage got there on Tuesday. Judge Porter was on board and on reaching Burke's telegraphed that he had passed two men answering the des- cription given him at Maricopa. At Oat- man one of their horses gave out and they sold it, saddle and all, for SIP; one of them walking from there to Burkes, where they sold the other horse and outfit for S10 eX- pecting to continue their journey by stage. Before reaching Burke's they must have changed their clothing, which did not cor respond with that hitherto ascribed to them. When the Tucson stage arrived there on Wednesday Bultner was on board and saw two men sitting in front of the house. He went in, eat dinner, came back to the stage, got his shot gun and quietly stepped past the men into the house. There he turned, cooked his gun and told 1 the men to put up their hands, which they did-like they were trying to scratch the roof of the piazza. The stage was too full for Buttner to bring the men down here and so was the stage passing there on Thursday. We have not yet learned what | he has done with them. If they are the ! right men Buttner can put big feather in his official cap. If he has got the wrong ones, the joke will not be so cunnin'

Southern Pacific Mirage.

The most reckless assertions have for months past been made in print touching the immense amounts of railroad material ac- cumulated at Yuma, Wilmington and Oakland, destined for extend ing the Southern Pacific Railroad into Arizona. The frigid mendac-
 ity of these statements, in so far as concerned the enormous ac- cumulations at Yuma, took away the SENTINEL's breath; our silence has been taken as confir- matory to such an extent, that even the railroad men themselves are beginning to believe that they have some material stored here. The fact is that there are not ties and rails enough stored within fifty miles ot Yuma, to build one mile of new track. The records of the custom house at San Francisco show that only some 164 miles of rails and some SCO,OOO ties have been landed in that harbor during the year 1877; no rails at all were landed at Wilmington, or any other port in California. Over 100 miles ot new road were built in California the last year, besides the 12O miles from Indian Wells to Yuma; thus showing that there must have been over 60 miles of rails on hand at the beginning of the year and but few on hand now. At Oakland there are now only about 28 miles of rails; they are stacked in piles of 140O each and are easily counted; 200 rails in a tier and seven tiers in a pile: about 400 rails to the mile in- cluding switches, etc. Auckland there are now about 1S0,000 ties, or enough for 60 miles of new road; but the published report of the Central Pacific road shows that during the year 1877 that road used over 360,0OO ties in repairs alone. At this rate the 1sO,O0O on hand would be barely sufficient for six months repairs on the Central Pacific, without counting repairs on the Southern Pacific and other California roads. It takes about 5000 ties to the mile of new road, including necessary switches and side tracks. At Oakland there arc also 35O,00O-an immense pile -of fence posts 4 inches square. Their great piles loom up and impress the casual observer with an idea that the statements are correct concerning the aceumula- ton of railroad material; but close inspection shows that they are destined for fencing in old roads, not for building new. At Will mingtOn there have been landed during the year 1877, some 2O6,OOO ties, or about 70 miles; the custom officers record of coastwise receipts shows thls. Offhis quantity more

 1st. ITS CHEAPNESS-Th cost of Its erection tor royalty and freight) not exceed ing $500 for a capacity to roast and chlo. ridize twenty tons per day, viz: brick work, 5000, and iron work, including blower, $500.
 2d Short time required for erection, viz: 14 days after providing all material, with . sufficiency of labor.
 Sd. No expensive, heavy or complicated machinery being necessary, involving heavy freight to the district where it may be required. Brick and clay, generally ob-' tainable on the spot, being the chief mate rial required in its construction.
 4th. No skilled labor or technical expe- rience is necessary to work it, two ordinary laborers being sufficient to attend to It when in full operation.
 5th. It does not easily get out of order, and is readily repaired by an ordinary mason or blacksmith when it does.
 9th. The royalty, or license to use it, is exceedingly moderate, removing thereby all temptation to evade or infringe the patent.
 7th. Calculating labor at B per day, and wood at S6 per cord, the cost of roasting Is but little over S1.5O per ton (ex-salt, when chloridlzed,) at these high California rates for labor and fuel.
