Ono or Two Of our exchanges have, with
An the past week, thoughtfully suggested
the kind Of paper We should run in Eu-
rska. and one has charged that we have
never expressed an opinion on the subject
Of fares and freights. Tho SENTINEL has
on several occasions spoken in rather plain
terms on this matter, and q position Is
certainly we'll understood in this commun-
ity. To keep . standing argument ct the
head Of eur columns would scarcely do
Justice 70 our subscribers, or reflect credit
ably upon the intelligence Of the members
Of the Legislature. We have claimed, and
still claim, that some measure Of relief
from the heavy burdens imposed by the
railway corporations should be Afforded
our people. but we are not among those
who think . railroad has no rights which .
community is bound to respect. Such a
bill a will do justice to both people and
corporations will have our earnest and
hearty support. There exists no reason
Why the two should not meet on q common
ground and settle the matter smicably.
Should the railroads refuse to pursue such
. course, then let such laws be enacted in
the interest Of the people as they will be
compelled to respect. We publish q paper
In Eureka for the benefit and interests OF
Eurekans, and receive neither subscrip-
tons or advertising patronage from those
growing, dyspeptic editors who, from .
lack Of ideas or a want Of matter, give a
daily rehash Of stale arguments, that are'
~ we before remarked, carefully read by
the proof-rcaders.

MoHAvE ITEMS.

A letter from Resin the Bow, dated al Fort Mohave, Dec. 1st, has the following items:
 The First Sergeant of Captain Burns Com pany was found Tn his his room to-day with his head literally split open, caused by the discharge of his gun, supposed to be a case of suicide. The deceased was a finely built man, and toall appearances, in the very prime of life. His sudden demise has caused gloom to spread over his comrades here, who seem to deeply regret his un- fortunate end.
 The weather has been very cloudy and threatening ram for several days, but is now clearing up.
 The steamer Colorado is expected with large amount eff freight, but to an eye view from my ranch, on the river, she will come very near having to make some dry land passages. If Catain Jack is with her, she will get here, as it is generally under stood that he would not give cent for any thing more than heavy dew to run his boat in.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, which is controlled in this city, is display ing wonderful vigor in the work Of con struction, being pushed down through New Mexico toward Southeastern Anzona at the rate of mile d day. It is claimed for it that it IS in cooperation with the Southern Pacific, the Texas and Pacific being out of the question. The latest version is, that the real objective point of the Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe is San Diego, after hay ing established connection with the South ern Pacific.
 The hc.bor of San Diego is admirably adapted to make 1t successful rival of San Francisco. If it can be assured, as city, of the trans-eontinental railway facilities which San Francisco enjoys, there is no reason why it should not become an equally important commercial city. If San Fran cisco is united by her lines of railway with the rich interior of California and Nevada, San Diego weUld lee united with all of Southern California and the vast metallic wealth of Arizona, New Mexico and Colo rade. A cOntineLtal railroad from the Pa cific through Arizona and New Mexico to St. Louis will be the creation of the new city of San Diego and the building up of the city of St. Louis, and that is what seems altogether likely to be accompIished.--Bo ton Economist.

From Apache County.

W. R. Milligan, Ebin Stanley, DioniciC Chsvss and others arrived in town on Satur day evening from Springerville, Apach, county, for the purpose of being in attend ance at this term of the District Court and contend for the county seat being moved from its present abode to their town Mir. Milligan informs us that Sol Earth has sold his property at St. Johns to the Nor. mons. taking 750 head of COWS in payment He speaks of the county as being prosper. GUS and that emigration is coming in con tinuously. He was informed by gentle. man who had just arrived on the Little Colorado from Utah, that he passed about 400 MormoEs enroute to Arizona, and that they are bringing wI:h them 1?, 900 head of cattle, besides many horses, mules and ether animals. These emigrants will prob ably settle mostly in Apache county, and they will make it a prosperous. lively land, just as they dO all new countries in which they settle.

THE AT. AND s. F. RAILROAD.

The Tucson Star, is under the impression that the Aichison, Topeka. and Santa Fe R. R., will leave the Rio Grande at Alba- querque, pass west to the Zuni Villages, then turn directly south for St. Johns, thence on over the toughest part of Arizona to Globe, etc, for the purpose ofeonnecting with Tucson. To control the Tucson trade would be quite an Inducement, as it might put the Company in possession of funds during years workto pay ytheexpenses ofthe road one day. The Star thinks Guaymas the objective point, but in the following, which we copy from that paper of November 26th, we think we see something about W. R. Morley, an engineer of the Company, being at work running line from San Diego:
 "It comes into the territory near Zuni. and on by St. Johns, through the fine graz iEg lands of northeastern Arizona. and the timber and coal region of the White noun tains; if passes within two miles of McMil- len, within easy access of Globe; it taps the extensive valley of the Gila above San Car los, the mines again at the mouth of the San Pedro, and comes on direct to Tucson. This is much the shortest line the company can find, and We claim will be of more ben eft to Arizona, her mines and mineral re- sources. than any other that can be found"
 Whilst the line via Silver City may bene- fit New Mexico and Southeastern Arizona, does it look reasonable to suppose that the Atchison aud Topeka would build a line 200 miles alongside or within a short dis tance of the Southern Pacific, 10 reach this ,-1a et.sr sfa the Dar1fiaf IVY TX Morley. an engineer of this company, is running line from Sen Diego easterly. This surely looks as though there was not mach chance of their uniting with the Southern Pacific"
 We agrec with the Star that it does not look reasonable that the A. T. & s. F. Co, would build line 200 miles along side of the s. P. R. R., for the purpose of controlling the trade of southeastern Arizona, and il looks much more unreasonable that the Company should, after building their road on the 35th parallel to the Zuni Villages, diverge from q natural, direct and easy route, to take rough, expensive and round about line just for the purpose of entering Tucson.
 From tho Rio Grande to San Diego or San Francisco, the 35th parallel route offers great inducements. It is the shortest, free from great mountains, taps the wonderful coal fields of the north, penetrates the great mineral belt of northern Arizona, secures the immense lumber trade that will event ually be opened up in the vicinity of the Bill Williams mountains, and will control the trade of Arizona north of the Gila, which it is quite evident will have popu- iation of 50,O0O souls. Tneroute is not cold during the winter, neither warm in the sum mer, and would al encc become the fayoriie iron highway from the Atlantic to the Pa cifc. Railroads, to pay, must of necessity be built over the shortest line controlling the greatest amount of natural wealth, and none are more apt to find out where wealth exists than railroad men.

$40 ACCIDENT AT TIE TIGER MINE.
One Man Killed and Two Wounded.
From 1rhursa.y'.D.lly.


 Chas. Quinn, an employe at the Tiger mine, arrived in town this morning from that place Tn quest of . physician to go out and care for two rnen who were severely wounded in the tunnel, last night, about II o'clock, Dy the premature discharge of q blast. There were in the mine at the time of the accident, three men, William Mozart killed; David Fellows, severely injured and Matt Carr, slightly injured. It seems that these three men had drilled five blasts and charged them; retiring, after having set of, as they supposed, all the blasts, four of them, however, only igniting; they return cd and cleared away the rock and in using a pick, struck the cap of the unexploded blast, which immediately went of, killing Mozart instantly, and woauding the other two. DT. Ainsworth left here to-day for the scene of the accident to dress the wounds of the two sufferers and try and alleviate their pain. They accident was one of those which every now and then take place in mines, and for which no one is really re- sponsible. The Tiger, during the last six months, has had its full share of mishaps, and it is to be hoped that another occuyence of this kind will not come again.

TELLING THE TRUTH.
An Indians Testimony Before the Ute Com mlssion--Jack Made the Attack on
 Thornburg.

Los Pinos Agency, Nov. g, via Lake City, Col, Nov. 24.-The commission met yesterday. Charley, the Uncompahagre Ute, testified, establishing the fact that Jack made the attack on Thornburgh. He gave his testimony freely and is the first Indian to tell the truth. Ouray informed the commission that Johnson had told him his brether a ho was killed by Dresser, and died next day. confessed to the killing of the freishters and a mail carner, and lead ing the attack on the agency people. Jack and the hssties are expected Tuesday. The decided position taken by Secretary Schurz in the dispatch received yesterday, refusing to receive any hostiles in Washington who had taken part in the White River affair, was a bitter pill, and Ouray looked very sad while being interpreted. The com mission adjourned over Sunday.

In recent brief conversation, MT. W. B. Strong, yice-president and general manager of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Road gave some facts in reference to the remark able progress of that road, winch is moving with giant strides toward the Pacific coast. The road is already virtually completed to San Domingo, point southwest of Santa Fe and a branch will be running into Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, by the first day of January. The road is already com pleted and in operation six murdered miles further west than Tom Scott's Texas Pa cifc.
 Col. Strong was asked whether there was any truth in the rumor quite current among we'll informed railroad parties for 8 day or two respecting a proposed consolidation of the Atkinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Road with the St. Louis and San Francisco line. In answer, he sad there were a good many rumors put fsrth that were not always true. He did not know what may be done yet. Consolidation is getting to be rather popu- lar. but he didn't profess to know anything about this report in particular The St. Louis and San Francesca would soon make a connection with their road at WitchIta anyway. He did not know but the South ern Pacific coming this way from the other side might not want to unite with them also These were points that the future would solve and regarding winch he had no infor- nation te give.

Executions by Electricity.

Mir. Park Benjaman, we'll k1own scien- tific expert in applied mechanics, contrib utes an exceedingly interesting assay on electricity today to the Herald's research for the best substitute for the process oi hanging criminals. He disseRts from Pre- lessor Draper's opinion, which we printed yesterday, that it would be found very diffi- cult to put electricity into practical oper- ation for the purpose. On the contrary, MT. Benjamin believes, a simple apparatus could be devised so compact that 1t would occupy no mere space than an ordinary travelling trunk, capable of dIscharging an electric spark potent enough ito kill sim ultaneously more men than have ever been hanged in company in this country,n with entire safety to the operating sheriff. At the Stevens Institute, in HobOken, there IS an electric coil winch yields sparks twenty one inches long that penetrates glass blocks three inches thick, and the Royal Polytech- nic Institution, in London, possesses one of even greater potency. The awe-inspiring influence of such a mysterious mode of cap- ital punishment he considers one of its important recommendations, whereas hang ing produces on the public no emotions su- perior to disgust. He might added also that it would save the bodies of the criml- nals from defacement--a consideration much insisted upon by Professor Darling yesterday in his recommendation of inflict- ing death by the fumes of carbonic acid.- N. Y. Herald.
