The LesInsHY lsaEIu,ar

Clifton, Arizona, is the center of an increasing mining business which may well induce the Southern Pacific Company to run its line as near 10 it as the country will admit. Last Sat urday's Silver City Herald says:
 The material for the railroad from Clifton to the LOngfellow mine will weigh about 325,00O pounds. Henry Lesinsky informs us that it will prob ably be at the end of the railroad by the ltst of this month, and that the freight to destination is already con tracted for. Seventy-five men are now at work on the grade, and tho force would be increased to JO0 could that mum Der be obta1ued.
 Nearly 100000 pounds of copper from the Longfellow works at Clifton are now stored in Silver City, await ing shipment to the railroad terminus.

The Best is the Cheapest.

The announcement that a new edi- . tion of Webster's Unabridged Diction ary has just been published, contain ing many new aud valuable features. suggests the thought that buying q Dictionary is q good deal like bnyine an egg or watch: q bad one is not cheap at any price. Webster being the standard authority for the English language, he naturally has many inn itators, but imitators are usually held at their true worth by the public; who wants q wooden nutmeg, though Il may lOc k ever so much like the gen uinc article: The popularity of " eb- ster Is based upon this principle.
 If you want q handy thing to carry with you, companion that you can always rely upon, and one that will never tire you, . really cGds 3liec,tsP. We recommend that vOu get q CODY of the pocket edition of Webster, with its 1S,000 words and meanings. rules for spelling, tables of weight and measures, abbreviations, words. phrases and proverbs from the ancient and modern languages.
 It is printed from new tyne. and bound in morocco, with tucks. and bright gilt edges. and. when not other wise ohtainable, will be sent by mail on receipt of one dollar. by the pub fishers, Ivison. Blakenan. Tavl0r < Co, 130 & 140 Grand street, New I Ork
