Two Southern Continental Rail-
roads.
lFrOW the S. Il. Bulletin. I

The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company has extended its lines
IN a s0utheriy direction 800 miles
from San Francisco and I80 miles
beyond the Colorado river. The
work will now be suspended IN
til the hot weather is over, to be
be resumed again say in N4vem-
Der, when the work will be pushed
on rapidly. The first objective
point will be Tucson, town well
down in southern Arizona, and
near the thirty-second parallel of
latitude. This is on the line of
the extreme southern railroad.
Every mile built on this line is
really toward the Gulf of Mexico.
How far the present company will
build on this line is perhaps an
open question. But there is no
doubt that the continental road
will be constructed by way of Ell
PasO to Galveston, and the proba-
bllity is that the California Com
pany will cover the most of the
at present unoccupied ground.
The Tom Scott programme of
TeXas-Pacitic railroad seems to be
in allegiance. Some other COM
pany may construct the line from
El PasO to Fort Worth, or prac-
tically to Galveston. The two
natural termini of this railroad
are the latter city and New Or
leans. The natural advantages
are very great. In the first place
tn road almost touches the b0r- |
der Of 8IeNic0. At Tucson it is
but short distance to tie line. |
At El Paso the border Of Mexi20 /
is touched. From the latter pointI
it is said that stages can be driven
over the table-lands all the Wav
to the City of Mexico. From Ri
Paso the more southerly route will
find favor, which would
ntersect San Antonio and Hons
on, reaching the Gulf at Calves
on. That such a line of railroad
will be constructed at an earlv
lay there is now hardly room for
ioubt. Practically, the Southern
Trunk Railroad Company have
quilt $50 miles of this road. and
will probably build 200 miles moro
within twelve-month.
After the Southern Pacific Rail.

the headquarters of Gen. Q. B

1t was a wise thing, no doubt,
so far as human foresight could
forecast the future, to locate the
capital of the Territory here, but
railroads make great innovations,
being often instrumental in de-
stroying as well as building up
towns. Prescott, Notwithstanding
its desirable location, the energy
and thrift of her people, will un-
doubtedly cease to be the capital,
and the trade of BradShaWs will
naturally go south to the rail-
road.
North, there is a large extent
of mineral country which will
be developed in the near future,
and within a radius of 90 miles
there are several upland grass
and agricultural valleys, notably
those of the Aqua Fria, Skull,
Kirkland, and Peoples, all of
which will, in ordinary seasons,
produce croI Of grain. vegetables
and hay. These will contribute
to make Prescott in the future
what it has been in the past, a
place of considerable Importance.
one of the most important local
industries is the manufacture of
lumber. This suffers somewhat
from the loss of that portion of
the trade which now goes to the
Valley of the Salt, and Gila, as
his section will hereafter be sup
}lied from the railroad.
About 10 miles south of Pres
,ott there is a wide sweep of val
ey land, which, in its desolate-
hess, forcfbly reminds one of the |
;ea. 1t is well named "Lone-
iome Valley" for not a living
was to be seen upon its
many thousand acres. 1t is COW
'red with thin grass, and would
make good agricultural land were
t not for the total absence of
water. A flowing well here
would be more valuable than an
ordinary gold mine.
Eighteen miles south of Pres
oft, in the valley of the Aqua
Nria, is the fine grass and stock

as much to build the hundre
) miles between MOhave and Lo
Angeles as it would to have con
structed a road from MOhave
crossing the Colorado at tn
" Needles" IN nearly straigh
line to Prescott, a distance of 81
miles. The gap from Mohave Il
! Los Angeles is one of the mos
costly pieces Of railroad in tho
United States One tunnel alone
cost Sl,600,000, and that hundred
mile section required an outlay
Of about S7,20O,00a. Naturally,
the two great Continental rail-
roads would diverge at Mohave-
the Gulf road, by way of Los
Angeles and Yuma, striking for
for El Paso and Galveston. The
Thirty-ffth Parallel road, strik-
out from MOhave for Prescott
and Santa Fe, or for such a point
as would admit of connection
with the great road now being
built across Colorado and New
Mexico by Boston capitalists,
generally known as the Atchison
Topekaan Santa Fe Railroad.
These are the two great conti-
mental lines which are looming I'D
IN the near future. Both are be-
low the snow line, and both have
great natural advantages. The
Railroad Company which is push
ing across the Continent from the
Mississippi river, is making
steady progress towards this OBJ
Jective point. They will build
toward the Rio Grande until thew
meet with another road. It may
be at Santa F'e, or ar some other
point hereafter t. he selected,
But that junction ms I1es a conti-
mental railroad, Witl san Fran
cisco and st. Lot rs termini.
And so another company may
possibly build across Texas to con-
meet with the Southern Pacific
at Ell Paso or at a point still lower
down, but when the connection is
made there is another continental
road with Galveston, New Or
leans and San Francisco as ter
mini. Few people on this side of
the country are aware how rap
idly this system of railroads is
developing. 1t is by far the most
important undertaking in the
United States.
And this work is being prose- |
cuted by companies which are |
seeking no municipal, State or
national assistance. The South
ern Pacific Company are pushing
heir road across Arizona with
he money and credit which the
can command, literally
building the road out Of it's own
esoQrees; a road which can never
make satisfactory returns on the
Investment until it becomes q
'reat continental highway. This
abroad development is of the
tmoSt Importance to San Fran
isco. Practically, this city will

entail railroads, and that without
aVing been required to assume

I is located III uno II.IuoU OF a Vic,
plain or valley made fertile by ir-
rigation, the water for that pur,
pose being taken from the river,
and it is said there are a hundred
thousand acres in grain this year,
mostly in wheat and barley. Dr..
Jones, a gentleman of wealth and
enterprise, is experimenting with
sugar cane, having put in large
number of acres and with proper
handling will be sure to get a
good crop. Here is a field in
which some of the colored labor
from the cane fields of louisiana,
now seeking new homes, could
find profitable and congenial en-
ployment. Phoenix is ambitious
to become the future capital of
the Territory. 1t is centrally To-
Gated, and its Importance will be
largely increased by the building
of branch railroad, now IN con-
temptation, from the S, P. r. r.
at Maricopa, distance of about
30 miles, over country favorable
for such construction. The town
is fiat, the drainage is on the sur
face. it is extremely hot in sum-
mer, and, unless its saH -ary con-
diti0n is well looked alter, it will
become, with a population of 1000
Or 5000 people, very unhealthy.
New buildings are going up,
mostly of adobe; a bank has been
opened; the price of lots is ad-
and there is an air of
expectancy about the place indi-
eating an appreciation of the new
,rder of things abont to be inau-
,urated by the incoming of new
people and the development of
lew enterprises.
