Some attention to the local rates at this
point shows that the charges OF the B. 4
o. X. r. compare favorably with those Of
other roads, and I learn that new and
lower tariff will DO ready by February Goth.
To commence n violent attack upon the
company now, when reform is being in.
augurated, is ill-timed and opposed 10 the
interests Of the people. Wise and friendly
action will meet the cooperation Of tho
company, but the passage Of this bill will
awaken its Just indignation. It is we'll
known that the company can litigate when
necessary, and hence 1t Is unwise to force
them into long contest in the courts for
self protection, such as they would resort
to should this bill become q law.
An attempt to force upon the company
fixed rate per mile, whether the distance
be one or 1000 miles, is quite as reas.
enable as to classify alike silk hats and
Ipig iron. The people ask only to have
wrongs corrected, and not to have their
principal road paralyzed or destroyed.
This bill, therefore, is not in the interest
Of the people. G. s. HuRD.

The Ensfern MLnLnn Enrnr

Shrewd judges are satisfied that an era of crazy speculation in mining stocks is rapidly approaching. Thus far Eastern buyers of mining shares have generally been careful to ascer tain whether the property in which they were investing was dividend paying one. Although most of this paper which has thus far been handled has been dealt in with speculative in. tent, there has still been method in a majority of the operations, and wise care has been exercised to avoid wild cat schemes. But the many and un. doubtedly true stories of fabulous wealth developed among the lodges of Colorado, Arizona and other Ophirs Oi the West, taken In connection with the low rates ruling for money in the markets of the country, will surely re suit in a speculative fever. When the question of the investor ceases to be :" Is the mine paying one and is its management honest:" and becomes '" Will the stock sell?" the trouble is serious. The stock boards will be flooded with shares as valueless as if the claims they represented belonged in cloudland, and ignorant operators will be fleeced accordingly. Ii is well to bear in mind that it is not the stock of the profitable, big dividend-paying mines that goes begging for buyers Philadelphia Record.
 The Daily Stock Report has fire quently pointed out that there is nc necessity for any intelligent man being fieeced in wildcat mines when the sources of information about mines are so ready and so many. But the writer in the Philadelphia Record was evidently unable to foresee the San Francisco stock market a week ahead or he would have seen that stocks of any and every descriptiOn-wild cats and tame cats-go begging for buyers -[ San Francisco Stock Report.
 To men wishing to invest in valu able mining property THE CITIZEN unhesitatingly recommends Arizona. The railway is now within sixty-six miles of Tucson and by December will be here. Within twenty to 100 miles of Tucson there are hundreds of veins of gold and silver-bearing ore that can be bought cheap, or liberal share of them obtained for development and machinery, with the privilege of spending their own money in the work. While some claimants will not dispose of mining ground in this way there are many who will, and such men prefer that investors person. ally inspect the property offered be. fore putting money into it.

The HaUqhty Railroad.
We find this item in Territorial

We find this item in a Territorial exchange:
 Barnett, Block & O., of Maricopa sold and shipped this week, to parties in Los Angeles, 100000 pounds of Maricopa county wheat at $1.72 per 100 pounds.
 Now let us hear no more of the railway injuring the farmers. Here must have been surplus of wheat in Maricopa county. But for the rail way, it must have found q market, if at all, at lower price than S1.75 per 100 pounds.
 In this connection, however, we will call attention to another matter of great importance and referred to in TIE CITIZEN a day or two since. San Francisco four is being used in Globe and some other places in Arizona. Now read this item from last week's s Expositor:
 McMillen is distant from Phoenix about 150 miles and the road runs through a country well supplied with water and grass. After leaving Me Dowell the longest distance without water is twelve miles. A gentleman who recently arrived here from Me Milan brought an order for several thousand pounds of four, and was au- thorized to pay three and one half cents per pound freight. Yet he could not procure teams to haul it, owing to the poor condition of the road. Flour is worth at McMillan seven and eight dollars per hundred pounds; barley sells for $4.25 per hundred pounds. The cost of making the road "navig- able" for freight teams would not be very great and it would give us a market for many thousand pounds of grain and four.
 Maricops farmers have just shipped by wagon some forty miles and by rail over 400, 100000 pounds of wheat to market. PhGnix has several four. ing mill, Globe District IS about as far from Phoenix as it is from the terminus of the railway, and there

LenlencY 10 AQhwaY Robbers.

Following is from the Phoenix Her aid, July 8:
 Price Hickey and Frank Mayhew charged with robbing the stage, on the night of the 11th, was vesterday morning held to answer by Judge Wartield. Bail of the former was set at Sl,C00 and $500 for the latter, which was given and the defendants are now at liberty.
 The Herald containing the testi. mony in this case, has already gone where most exchanges soon go, and we can not now remember the strong points against the accused, but the fact that they were held to bail on the charge, implies belief, based on evi. dence before him, on the part of the magistrate, that they were guilty. With such belief, the bail seems out of all proportion to the enOrmity of the crime. The crime of stage rob- ping carries with it an intent to mur- der if resistance be offered. In this case, Mir. Blackenship, a faithful guardian of Wells, Fargo & Co.,, did resist and he was instantly shot and it is mere accident that he was not killed, and the life of the driver was put in jeopardy. When the driver, the messenger and W. s. Head (passenger) learns that for this terrible crime in volving as it did theft, dentention of mails and express, and their own lives, the accused are free on small bail, they can but feel unequal to the task of expressing their honest indignation. If the magistrate believed from the evidence the accused were guilty as charged, and his action certainly i'm plies that he did, then his action will appear indefensible to nearly if not all others but the accused. Just think of it: Robbery of the United States mails, Wells, Fargo x Co.'S express, the serious woundiug of a man in the discharge of his duty, and the putting in jeopardy of the lives of three men, aside from the loss occasioned to many who had letters and remittances in the mail, and yet the accused are given their liberty on bonds no greater than are often required of men charged with simple assault and battery. The crime or number of crimes involved in stage robbery, should be regarded of equal enormity as that of murder for the latter is always intended ii ri-htful resistance is offered.

Annthar Ontrnne on the Jews.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The expul sion of Israelites from Manhatter Beach has made a decided sensation Metropolitan journals, as well those of the suburbs, devote much space to the subject, and teem with inter views with prominent Jewish bankers and others, il which the latter hope the question may be dropped imme diately, and not bolstered into prom thence as it was couple of years ago in the matter of the Saratoga hotels
 The Sun says: A man might as wei oppose Niagara or the Mississippi ol the Hudson, as to brace himself against the Jews.
 The Times thinks the stockholders of the hotel will protest against "ridi culous experiment" as it is thought tC be an advertising dodge.
 All other city journals are full oi the news of the affair but are silent .editorially.

Clarence Kng's Bureau of Surveys.

A few days ago THE CITIZEN re- ferred to these surveys and their i'm. portant results. The Chicago and other Northwestern papers are be. slowing much favorable attention to MT. King and his purposes. The Washington correspondent of the Fri. bune says heretofore the surveys have excited some criticism because of their showy character, and because an ap- propriatiOn was made for some partic. ular person, who went away with a pocket full of money and came pack with a pocket full of vouchers. There will be no occasion for such criticism in future" He quotes King as say. ing:
 We will allow the fossils to rest quietly in their beds, and permit the rocks to dip as they please, until we have settled some of the more import ant questions relating to economic geology. The precious metals alone, however, are not to engross attention. The plan includes thorough investi. gatlon of the coal, iron and lead de. posits of the United States, which will be conducted concurrently with that of the gold and silver deposits. It is believed that Prof. Raphael Pumpelly, of Arizona fame, will be given charge of the coal and iron de posits. Major Powell, of Colorado Canon notoriety, is assigned the duty of completing the investigation of the architecture, the manufacture and the family and tribal characteristics of the Pueblo or Village Indians of New Mexico and Arizona"
 Prof. Hayden is to have place on the Public Land Commission with King, and the latter regards his own work on this commission "as of no less importance than the geological survey. He thinks, especially, that the present mode of dividing the mineral land and settling the title thereto needs revision in ordinary cases. He says patent from the United States settles pubic land title, but in the case of mineral land it merely gives the holder fighting right to the land patented"
 This seems drawn too strongly, for, with few amendments, it is doubtful if better act than the present mineral land law could be framed. In the main it is good and quite we'll under stood. An experience with it for seven years in all the mineral districts of the country has shown it has defects which ought to be remedIed by amendment rather than by new act with neT' forms and requirements.

cnn,tnL Detsrred bx LnwLessness.

C. C. Bean is out in vigorous card touching the consequences of crimes against life and property, suggested by the burning of the Aztlan quartz mill, The mill was owned by New York company, which had recently been formed by MT. Bean. Following is the close of his card:
 To me individually the mill is not a loss; to this community it is public calamity. 1 have known a hundred and forty men (miners and mill men subsisting of the product of l0-stamp mill-tO say nothing of wood choppers and charcoal burners and freighters and merchants, and even the vegetable vendor and milk and mail carrier, a little stream of bullion, finding its way into numberless pockets, the fountain head of industry for whole commun. itv, and bearing upon its bosom noiseless and unnoticed charities. He who rObs stage or burns a mill pre-
 vents the progress and prosperity oi the Territory; he is a public enemy
 he burns my mill, but he invades your
 dwelling and he throttles your busi
 ness by the act. He burns my dwell ing tonight; tomorrow night he will crack the bank and burn the town tO
 get his plunder. You may invite cap ital to come, but the answer is: go
 only where there is security of life and property.
 It is your business and mine then tC
 see that outlaws do not rule and ruin uS
