Major r. M. Hall has had al
interview with Judge H. B. Un
derhill of the S. P. R, R. touch
: ing matters of much interest t.
our Territory concerning tha
railroad. The Tucson "Star" re
prints an account of this inter
view from the Washington " Re
publican, - a portion of which W.
give below:
@. Had you then q knowledge
of Arlzona's wealth and minera
resources ? A. W had :. gen
eral way, and particularly that
portion now known as the Tomb
stone district, as mines in that
vicinity were known over a hun
dred years ago to the Jesuits.
@. Did you suppose and do you
now think this territory equal to
Nevada or Colorado? A. We do
not think it equal to Nevada or
Colorado in either its mining
wealth or agricultural resources.
AS far as mining developments
have been made, it would seem
the richer portions of the territory
are adjacent to the line of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, as
built and proposed /; also that
section lying between the railroad
and Prescott, to which latter
point it is designed to construct a
branch road at an early day.
@. What advantage have set
tiers in coming here? A. Ex-
cellent climate, fine stock-glazing
country; large numbers of set
tiers could find employment in
the mines.
Q. Is there a future for the So
called desert i55'ii II iili icli lies within
our territory Some writers
speak of its minerals as being
valuable, and of its value for til
ing ii irrigated Dy wells : A.
Many of the lands designated as
"desert" will bear the best Of
crops with water on them, and
many of them can be irrigated by
the rivers, and a larger portion
probably by the sinking of arte-
sian wells.
@. How does Arizona compare
in health and climate with other
districts you are familiar with :?
A. L would say there is no more
healthy climate in the United
States than that of Arizona, and
that the territory will In time be-
come a great sanitary resort.
Q. Is your road doing anything
to invite immigration to it? A.
Yes; we have not only dimin-
ished the rates of fares and
freights one-half, but immeasur-
ably improved the facilities for
transportation.
@. You have no lands but will |
ask for them I suppose A. No,
we shall not, as railroads can be |
built SO cheapiy now that We DO :
not need aid in the way Of su0si- /
lies. !
@. Is there now a need for the
so-called Tom Scott or Texas &
Pacific road, or will there be when

@. Have you determined tn
terminal point yet and where yo1
will touch the Atchison, Topek
& Santa Fe railroad? A. W.
, shall no doubt form a junction a
or near Mesilla, as that will be tn,
easiest point for them to max,

more difficult to construct and

silla.
@. Is it probable that the road
will run into Arizona at all? A.
Certainly not, as they could get as
good rates in taking good busi-
ness from the Southern Pacific at
Mesilla, seeking an outlet in that
direction, as they could going far
ther west.
@. Will it or your road strike
off to Guaymas? A. Not at pres
ent, although we have engineers
locking over the line in that di-
rection; butt am disposed to think
we shall not build that road in
some time, as business would be
light between Guaymas and our
road, and it is property OF con-
sidered very safe in Mexico at
this time.
Q. VIII such a road be ever, or.
il SO soon constructed? A I
should think not. l have heard
it suggested that the CHINA and
East India business would seek a
port on the Gulf of California, and
thence take its way east by rail,
but any one that understands the
winds, currents and distances of
the Pacific will know that can
never be done, as all sailors from
those countries come down on the |
trade winds, and would pass near
San Francisco, which is about IL
800 miles from Guaymas, and the |
last half of the distance in light, |
variable winds which sailors so |
dread-and steamers certainly |
would never think of going there
when they could stop at the port
of San Pedro, on the Southern
Pacific railroad, nearly thous-
and miles less steaming than to
60 to Guaymas. and then be very
little, if any, nearer the junction
Of the two roads.
@. What time will you reach |
in construction the terminal point
of your road? A. We expect
70 keep right on building, and be
at the Rio Grande in time to CON
meet with the Arst road that
there, which, we hope,
will be in two or three years at
farthest.
q. w III you construct TO new
Mexico this year? A. We ex-
oect to do something more than
hat, but we are getting now
lear the rich mines in the Tomb
stone district and may be detain- {
I'd there sometime in building
branch roads to accommodate these
mines. {

Yesterday afternoon the services at St. Paul's
EpiscopaD church wer e interrupted in the fol-
lowing singular manner: 1t appears that lady
of the Episcopal faith married a Catholic and
had lately deceased. 1t was her last request
that she might be buried according to her
church ritual, so the husband complied with
her wish, and as Rev. Mr.. Ketchum, rector,
was in the midst of the burial service, one of
the mourners rose up and said in a loud voice,
"Why don't you make the sign of the cross?
1 am the corpses brother, and object!' The
remark, of course, caused some little commo-
ton for time, but the rector proceeded with
the service to the close. 1t is supposed the
man thought he was in a Catholic church and
objected because Mr.. Ketchum failed to make
the sign of the cross

Report of the Committee to Examine the
Town Accounts.

At the town meeting, held in Warren hall
Saturday afternoon, the following report in
substance was made by the committee appoint
ed to examine the accounts:
The vouchers found for the years 1871, 72.
10, and rs compared accurately with the
printed annual reports. A number of the 1874
vouchers with figures changed were placed
with those for 1876. When these were added in
their original figures to the 1874 account this
years report was correct.
The deficiency in the accounts for the year
1876 was found to be S61955. This amount
was made up by using same bills twice to the
amount of $109.70, vouchers raised from 1874
amounting to $36075, errors in entering and
adding $149.10. A large number of bills of a
questionable character were also discovered in
this years accounts.
No deficiency was proven for the year 1877,
but about the same amount of bills of a ticti-
tious nature were found.
The treasurers accounts for all these wears
compared correctly with the annual printed re-
ports.
The committee had no power delegated to
them to summon witnesses. &c., and therefore
could not make report as conclusive as if
they had had such power.
The amount of the appropriation $500
raised to pay the expenses of this investigation
will be but half used.

KENNEDY WINS.

the change, but as the result will show the
odds were we'll taken. At $50 the men were
ordered to get ready, and soon after Lee made

About fifteen minutes later Kennedy arrived,
also apparently in the best possible condition.
