The Atlantic and Pacific.

On the 18th tracklaying commenced at Mohave station, on the Both Parallel Railroad, under construction by the $. P. R. R. people, which is to cross the Colo rado near the Needles. With the west ern section from the Colorado River to the Mohave in the hands of our Califor- mia railroad magnates, we nay look for its completion by the time the road run ming across our Territory shall have reached the river on its westward march. Therefore, by the lst day of next Octo Der, the route will be open from the ocean on the East to the ocean of the Pacific, and grand passenger traffic moving back and forth over the same The business which this thoroughfare will make for Prescott can hardly be realized. Our goods will come to us quick and at re- duced rates. Capitalists will see and be- ieve their eyes in regard to our mineral, agricultural, pastoral and timber wealth, and those who own immense properties, without dollar in pocket, no doubt will be swinging gold-headed canes and sup porting plug hat Civilization and pros perity always follow the iron horse, and it will not be otherwise upon the comple- tion of the 35th Parallel road across the continent.

Southern Pacific Rou5c Of Travel.

An Fl Paso paper publishes the follow ing:
 Passengers going East from Fl Pasc have now the choice of two routes. By the Santa Fe road they go direct to Kansas City, where they change for all Eastern points. By the Texas and Pacific they go through to St. Louis, changing either at Fort Worth or Dallas for Kansas City and points on the line of the Missouri Pacific. Passengers goilg to New Orleans by the Texas and Pa cifc at present change either at Cisco, Dallas or Mineola for Houston. At Mineola, close connection is made with the International and Great Northern, running sleepers to Houston. At Houston another change is made to the Texas and New Orleans. By the first of February it Is expected that the line connecting Marshall with New Orleans will be completed, and the change at Mar shall will then be the only one between Fl Paso and New Orleans. Passenger rates between Fl Paso and Eastern points over the Texas and Pacific, have not been re- ceived as yet; but the rate to St. Louis will be about fifty-seven dollars. The rate to New Orleans Is not yet known"

The watch at the end of the chain Is heavy enough to use for weapon, with its massive cases ot gold. This walk ing gold mine carries of all his magni6cence with the most indifferent and half-con- temptuous air. On occasions he is said to be capable of even more gorgeousness; and, when this show-fgure of Santa Fe is mounted on a little black horse, rattling with all the silver and blazing with all the wrought col ors of Mexican trappings, it is enough to dazzle one.
