A woman will so on a shopping tour in
quest of a score of dissimlar articles. The

and half finger wide; the carpet must
be like Mrs. Spriggins', only that she wants
hers brown where Mrs. SIS is green the
first knot in the string she carries in her
pocket is the width of the window curtain;
the second knot, the length of Susie's
skirt, the third knot, of the picture, and the

out having made single blunder, with a
full satchel and an empty pocket book, and

The above statement is both untrue and
unwarrantable. The limit Of the term of
service of an Executive Committee of a

Harris went ont Of Office, and all his CO.

time to-wit, as soon as the new Conven-

no authority for saying that Col. Harris or
any of them las renounced the Democratic

American Progress.

Coming events cast their shadows before" London dispatch says:
 Gladstone speaking at the opening z of the Art Exhibition at Chester, Monday night, said that when Amer ics learned to trust entirely to her own splendid natural resources, the great genius of her people and their marvellous proficiency in the adoption of labor-saving appliances, in which she was at the head ofthe world. she >yould be formidable competitor with English manufacturers.
 Mir. Gladstone reads the handwrit ing on the wall, which plainly says that Britieh superiority in trade and manufactures is secumbing 10 the marvellous resources of the United States. and the wonderful genius of the people of the American Union.
 There is not county on the globe with possibilities equal those of the United States, and the day is not far distant vixen this will be the leading commercial and manufacturing ma ten of the world English supre- macy iA trade must, through force of circumstaDces, give way to the yoEng blood resources and enterprise of America.

RaIIroad Extension.

The Las Vegas Gdzcste. in speaking of the extension of the A. T. $ S. F. R. R. says:
 The railroad company propose to push their extension to the West from here as rapidly as money and men will do it. ". R. Morley, whose en- erEy and activity is unbounded and also sn ever acting and constant quantity, will have charge of con struction- He is Napoleonic in gtrat- eG and execution; he decides rapid ly and executes wig ,rously. Thus the work is liable to be rushed, not by spurts. but continuously. The contract fo. ties from Las Vegas to santo Domingo on the Rio Grande has been let to Messrs. E. R. etiles 8 Co.
 The timber for bridges, piles etc. to 6anto Domingo has been let to Mir. McPherson.
 The grading contracts were let on the Sth at Pueblo. This delay was occasioned by the washouts on the Rio Grande and stoppage of the mails.
 TAc iron horse will drink from the Rio Grsnde before six months and should the valley route be decided on the extension will be pushed down  that stream at the rate of two miles day At or about Socorro, the road will likely leave the river and take in the Silver City country.

Encouraging Mining Statistics.

The Tucson daily Citizen contains the following:
 The Assessor of Story County,
 Nevada, which embraces the Com.
 stock mines, recently made his re turns on the products of mines for the three months ending June ac, showing gross yield of S1,95o,. 6aS, and the average gross yield per ion of ore was S44. The hiehes, AvsrsEe yield of ore from any one mine was 961 per ton. By the game report it is shown that the yield for the three months ending March 31 was g, ,S72, ,23O, and the average gross yield per ton was S45. There is a slight falling off in amount and aver age yield
 The points of encouragement herein shown to Arizona miners are these:
 1. Hundreds of Arizona mining claims, showing immense bodies of ore that will average far above the highest average of the Ccnstock ores, are now regarded az of little or no wsrth st all.
 2. These Arizona ores lie at the surface of the earth, whereas those of the Comstock be from 1000 to 5000 feet deep and require the most expen sive machinery to raise them to the surface
 3 Water, scarce as it is in some localities, is more abundant and more easily obtained in any of our mining districts than on the Comstock, and wood is more plentiful and much cheaper here than there. Good wood is obtained in Arizour districts from $2.50 to $5 or trifle more per cord alOrg the Comstock it years ago ranged from $12 to 16; but perhaps it is slightly lower now because of railway facilities.
 A. The wages of experienced min CTS and mechanics are about the same in each locality, but the wages of common laborers is lower in Ari- | zona than in Nevada. Within year most of the Arizona mines vii! | be furnished with as cheap machin cry as those of the Comstock, and, on the averge, with cheaper supplies for man and beast
 Take these and other considerations 1 into the account, and the conclusion is inevitable that as profitable field for the capitalists and competent min i1s{ and mill men to operate in, Ari- LonIa is far to be preferred over that of the Comstock, notwithstanding the latter stands at the head as a producer of bullion and perhaps will for ye T. to come
