A RAILROAD WANTED.

While suggestions are in osdeF, wc would advise our merchants ssd buzinezs men io invite the attention of ilse <. T. and Santa Fe R. h C., who are noE surveying across the Territory, seeking a route for their road, 10 the great inducements Northern Arizona present to any company or corporation who nay wish te buid An iron thoruughfare from eceaa to ocean. The great mineral wealth of the West lies imbeded wlthi a the granite walls of the mountains of Yaya- pal County. Farther north. and near ths line of the 31sh parallel, which railroad would naturally follsw. exists the most CT : te1siTe coal fields ef the United States.
 The Sierra AAdre aud ihe Mogollon noun tains, for hundreds of miles north and south from the 35th parallel line. are covered with dense forests of pine, cedar and oak, ana with the road Of iron crossing their sum mits, hundred sawrniIls could be success fully put ints operation furnishing lumber 10 the markets East and West, t,giTing the road s local trafie which would be ofconsideFable importance. 4 road following this line would also tap the great grazing fields ofthc West and cross the fertile valleys which sup port numerous towns and villages. Aside from these eseinducenients,itis the natural high way from the Atlantic to the Pacific if the terminus Is established at San Dieg.. While the mountains of snow on the Central Pa ei6e obstructs the free passage of cars dur ing the winter, nothing of the kind would be known on the 35th parallel route. Tn the summer the heat is not oppressive, and the tourist would not be subjected 10 heat and dust that Is found on the more southern route.
 Taking everything into consideration, eli mate, scenery, the directness of the line etc, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road, built upon this line, would at once become the fayorite and adopted route from the At Iantic to the Pacific. We hope our people will see the importance of inviting this Company wno are on the westward march to consider the advantages they would ac- quire by building their road so it would come within reach of the Capitol of Arizona in few hours ride, by coach, northward.
 Our neighbors down South, who never al- low an opportunity to pass without taking advantage of the situation, are making overtures to the A. T & $. F. Co, to build to their town and leave Prescott 150 miles north of their route. The Tucsonites still have the Capitol Tn their eye, and this is one of their strategical moves to gain power and lessen ours. With railroad north oi our town, Prescott, of necessity, must be come the San Francisco of Arizona.

AN ANCIENT RELIC.

We were shown at the efiice of Dr. Thib- odo, this morning, the lower jaw of a human who belonged to the primitive race. 1t was dug out of the ground on Lynx Creek, six teen feet below the surface and is entirely different from any relics or remains of the people who lived in this part of the hemis- phere since the birth of our Savior. The bone is shaped after that of the human te 8 great degree, is somewhat wide where 1t connected with the temporal pcne, but runs to more pointed shape at the end of the chin-never had more than six teeth--no grinders which leads those who have exam. ined it ts the belief that those whs existed here and to which this bone belongs, were grass or fruit eaters. Skulls have been found in the vicinity where this jaw bone was excayatel, of peculiar shape; however, there is not the slightest doubt but what they all belong to the cid primitive race of whom we have no tradition save the relics excavated from beneath the surface of the earth, often being found so to 100 feet deep.
 We have every evidence that there has, at two districts, and remote periods, people lived here who were different in every par sicular. The ruins of the most ancient pre- historic race, numerous and mostly hidden from view, being covered by earth, show but little evidences of the civilization that followed of the more recent inhabitants. The buildings ofthe Aztecs were constructed with great skill for protection against in- cursions from any enemy, while the in- scriptiOns upon rocks show much advance ment over the older inhabitants of the earth. The canals dug by the inhabitants who lived here about the year 1000, show muaster skill, and compare favorably with those built in this 18th century py survey of the skilled engineer.

KILLING A NEWSPAPER.

The efforts of the "trio" to kill news paper, will fall short of the mark. We would call the attention of our readers te several new advertisements which come to us along the line from New York to San Francisco, and in this connection we are re- minded of the man, who becoming indig- nsnt at an editorial in the Philadelphia Led ger, made up his mind to crush the great journal out of existence, and for the purpose of carrying out his pcnderous threat, called upon Geo. W. Childs, the editor, with frown, lremarking, Mir. Childs. am dis pleased with the tsne of your editorials, and hase stopped the Ledger. Childs replied not word, but taking his visitos by the arm, led him through the composing and engine room to the press department, where one of Hoe's mechanical wonders was throw ing eff Ledgers st lightning speed. "why, how is this, said Childs to his wondering visitor, thought you told me you had stopped the paperl" "oh, said the abashed subscriber, q meant my copy of it." That said Childs, ''is quite another thing" The crushcrs doE't even take the MINER, so we have still better thing than Mir. Childs whose Ledger did not stop.

ADVICE TO EDITORS.

My dear gentlemen:-You are
extremely kind, but let me en-
treat you to desist. | am so
tired. Can't you write about
something else besides finance!
Please do. Women is a CopiOus
theme, and the weather is al
ways a neat and handy topic. !
quite agree with both sides OF
you. Your arguments are absO-
lutely unanswerable. There
ought to be no end to green
backs and also nothing but gold.
Both are a great deal better
than neither. You have con-
vinced me of this so often that |
am in q state Of sublime addle.
But this is not all. | observe
with anguish and alarm that the
more you write about finance
the less there is Of finance. Let
me beg you not to write any
more lfyou do, money will
totally disappear. Soon the sur
face of the globe will be covered
with able editorials. two feet
deep. There'll not be o dollar on
earth, nor a living man, and the
epitaph of the human race will
be, "Died of finance on the brain
without a solitary red" Cor.

the waters of Big creek, in town
ship 18, range 6 west, is a pleas
ant, beautiful village and enjoys
a good trade from the country
surrounding it. IL has an intel
ligent and energetic population
and bids fair to become a sub
stantial little town.
EVENING SHADE,
The county site Of Sharp, is stu.
ated near the Piney Fork OF
Strawberry river, in a very
healthy section Of country, and
is improving perhaps as rapidly
as any similar town in the state.
It contains four general stores,
one hotel, two blacksmith shops,
a tobacco factory, a saddle and
harness shop, three drug and gro
Gerry stores, a tan yard, four
physicians, three lawyers, one
weekly newspaper, the RECORD;
a Matchmaker and one saloon.
In the surburhs are two hne
Touring mills, a woolen factory,
a saw and planning mill and one
shiugle machine. Of societies
there are in town a Masonic
Lodge and Chapter and an ODD
Fellows Lodge. The church or
carnations are the Baptist,
Methodist and the Cumberland
Presbyterian. The Methodists
have one Of the best church
houses in North Arkansas. Eve
ming Shade is also The site of
Evening Shade College, o thor
ough school for males and te-
males. The Board Of Trustees
say they are. determined to build
up here a frst-class college,
where the people of the state
may send their sons and daught-
ers for a complete education at
a small cost, and outside OF the
alluremeuts Of vice and eXtraVa-
CANT influences which surround
such institutions in cities and
railroad towns. Evening Shade
is twenty-five miles north OF
Batesville, the head Of naviga-
ton on White river, fOrty-tive
miles from Newport, on the st.
Louis, Iron Mountain and South
ern R. R., and about the same
distance from Walnut Ridge,
Lawrence county, on the same
railway.
