THE condition of the roads leading out ol this city to the southwest through the Santa Cruz valley is a serioUs dam age to the trade of the city. Our people should take the matter in hand and pro vide a good road As il is now there are nearly an hundred bypaths leading through the mesquite timber, none Of these wide enough for teams to pass and none Of them reliable iu wet weather which furnish the only ingress and egress for the important trade which comes from that direction. A member of the CITIZEN staff returning to the city last evening found a wagon loaded with lumber for ;he Gunsight, stalled at the upper river crossing. 1T we desire to keep that trade here the roads should be placed in goor order. A good, broad, straight, gravel road should be built through the valley till It strikes the mesa where nature has already provided hard magnificent roads. During the wet season the condition ot these roads produce a virtual suspense of business Iu that direction Attention shouid be CIve,. % th;z matter immediately 20 that a good Toad may be provided before an- other vet season comes. A goOd road through the valley would greatly reduce the cost of hauling freight iu that dI- rectlon and add to Tucsou'S advantage as a shipping point.

kIp PoR .AnRoAps.

h discussing the question Of extend ing aid to railroads m Pima county, 1t IS not unusual to hear comparisons made with other towns in the States which have assisted in building railroads, to their sorrow. But there is really no comparison that with any justice may be drawn as between our county and the places named. An average county in the States embraces an area Of about 4i miles square, while Pima county IS sJ miles wide by 150 miles in length. A railroad from Tucson to Calabasas would be 6 miles long, and would add from 540OOOO to S500,0O0 to the taxable prop erty Of the county, and indirectly, per haps, another S1OO,OO0. A railroad to Port Lobos would add as much more. 4 narrow gauge from here north would leave 9 miles Of it's track iu Pima county and increase our tax list ar least S200,009. Or the three roads would add SI,400,0O0 to the valuation oi th. coUntF, to say nothing Of what would be brought here for investment Three and 35-lUn per cent, which was the last tax rate or the county, on the above amount ws1i5 bring into our strong box every year the snug little sum of S4G,9J0, while if our county was only 24 miles square, as they are in the States, it would not reach 8 fifth of that amount. Pima county can give S400,00O to railroads, pay interest on the same at the rate of per cent, and still have S1S,900 every year left to set aside for a sinking fund, which. # judiciously invested, would pay the priu- cipal in twenty years.
 Owing to the great area of our county it will thus be seen that the voting of aId to railroads would not become burden ou our people. The aid the county would render would be expended iu our county. which would become taz- able property at once, with Sl,000,o00 more added to 1t. Can any reasonable nan. then, doubt the wisdom Of extend ing aid to railroads in Pima county? We would nave nothing to lose and ev- erythiDg to gam. Without railroads we shall soon reach the zeulth oi our prosperity. Build the three roads above named, and you will add 1000 per cent to the valuation of the county in less than five years, and increase our popu- latiln four fold.

mrs xrErEe PAY9


 We have all heard the question asked, Does miring psy:" so often that it IS getting 8 little stale. If it does not pay what are the 30O,OOO mining men of Ari- zona. Colorado Utah. Nevada, Montana and Idaho following the business for? They are certainly not all out for thsIr health. While we are unable to keep track of all Of them. We are satisfied that mining pays in Arlz0na. There are a great many men in Arizona who are making money by owning and working mines, and hundreds of others who are earning and getting double the wages they could get by any other kind of ls- l bor. Some men have lost money ID mines, but the iaul; was, as a rule, in the management, and not ID the mines. Some have operated with indifferent success, but have held their own, while not few have left the Territory with enough money to keep "the wolf from the door" for the rest of their lives, un- less, as IS too often the case where wealth is suddenly acquired, they waste 1t fOolishly. The late Rsgan carried away S3OO,0O) to California; his old partner, J. M Barney, who still resides among us, IS worth in money and stock in the Silver King mine, S2.0O0,OOO. Aaron Mason. who IS still with us, is worth $30O,OO0. Dan CIillett left Arizona a year ago with S400.000. Dick Gird carried away to California S55O,O0O while the Schefliin boys cleaned up some two years ago with $40O,000 apiece Ex- Governor Safford took over Sl0O,00O east two years ago, 6nd Nosburg IS rus ticating n California with s150,o00. Si White, superintendent of the Conten- ton mine is worth six hundred thou sand, and his old partner in business is worth as much more. E. B. Gage, ot the Grand Central, IS worth all the way from one to $3OO,0O0. These now, or those who are still operating are making money, and a number of them are cer- tain to be millionaires before they get through. The Lesinsky Bros. of Clifton sold out the Longtellow copper mines for S2,300,0O0, and have gone to New York to live There are scores of men who have made from ten to S5O,OOO piece, and many Of them are on the high road to fortune and will, ere long, have their hundred thousand and upwards. While all Of these men are making fortunes, thousands of miners are earning their S4 8 day and can save money if they are mind to. There are also a great many out siders who have made money in Arizona many Of whom We could name but we take up only Arizonans whose names are familiar 10 almost every one in the Territory. 1T we go back five years we shall find that there was not more than one or two among the lot that could have mustered 5000 in cash, and some of them couli only raise ''grub-stake." So far as Arizona is concerned, we be- Heve that We can safely say that min ing pays"

FASHION WRINKLES.

The New Sleeves-The Tweed Novelties Rssonstrustiag DreusS-AsntIs. and l Sacquss. ets.
 Louis Quinze shoe buckles are now being used in Paris to fasten collars as well as belts.
 The sleeve IS now made a prominent feature of the dress by such novelties as Worth and Pingat
 The Persian cloaks introduced last year are sold this season for half the price they brought then. They did not prove popular.
 The newest turbans of folded cloth or velvet are without brlms, the fold of rib- on reaching down to tho hair, and are without trimming.
 Momie cloth scarfs for bureaus are ored ribbon embroidered with floss placed across the ends.
 Chandeliers are now said to be out of fashion, and 1t IS expected that light will be thrown from the corners Of the room from bracket fixtures. Many handsome pelisses, long coats and loose clOaks have merely band of fur or of feathers around the neck and down the front, leaving the lower edge untrimmed.
 Black satin does not lose its prestige, as was predicted 1t would in the esrly part of the season. The best quality makes the loveliest of dresses for day aRd evening wear.
 Rattan fOotstools are novelty for parlors. They are much the shape of inverted workbsskets and are decorated with dark satin ribbons and bows to match the color of the furniture.
 A delicate dress of pale green tulle, over the same tint m satin, IS trimmed with water lilies. Dark red roses are worn with the new pale green and fine tipped black shoes, over silk hose to match.
 To wear with dresses which have otn- cers' collars there are bronze, gold snd silver brooches, m Egyptian and sn- uq1e designs. The side pieces are ID the same conceits and they are se- cured, one to the other, by hook and eye.
 Recently decorations for towel. and napkins has taken thi. form: The threads are drawn out at regular inter fe-A1f o-A N--CA Wthhch III AAc lnterssices in colored threads, either ID herringbone, buttonhole, or chain stitch or by simply oTercssting.
 Among the new materials for spring are the Tweed novelties, with solid ground snG checked surfaces. One piece shows s ground of olive, another In bronze, with check ID rich red and gold; another in blue ground has cheeks of cardinal gold and pale blue.
 The Oriana Costume. one of Demor- est's models for February, IS very sle- gsnt for combination of silk, satin or Ottoman, with plush. velvet or velvet cen This is particularly appropriate for spring wear, as the jacket supplies the place of 8 heavier wrap.
 Msntles are, like bonnets, either Im- menSe or quit esmall, covered with pas ssmenterie and ribbons -dignifed ps- lisseE long visites wrapping up the fg- ure entirely, with a sch lining and over lSsded with ornaments of all sorts.

AS THEY SEE IT.

Some two years ago, the State of Mis- souri nominally, but really by several railroad companies, offered S4O,OOO ID hard cash for the arrest of the Winston train robbsrs, including the James brothers and others. They were wiling to pay for theIr heads, and were not particular about whether they were dead or alive. The large rewards offered secured the delivery of the dead body Of Jessie James to the State authorities, and the people of Missouri have already erected an imposing monument Of Scotch granite to his memory. His brother, Frank it seems was not yet ready to be so honored by the people Of his native State, so he concluded the easiest way to prolong his existence would be to capitulate with Governor Crittenden, and last year he surrendered to the Governor. What agreement he made with the Governor, has never been made public, but it is thought by many that the Governor will use his executive prerogative, m assisting Mir. James to honorably retire to oprivate life. Indeed Mir. James through his attorney has already convinced the good people of Missouri that he was mot very bad, and that he made it point not to mur- der men in his own State if he could rob them without doing so. This honorable showing on the part of Mir. Frank James so touched the tender hearts of his old friends and neighbors that most of the charges, such as mur- der, robbery and Ioforth, were set aside leaving one or two simple charges of theft, etc, for Mir. James to answer, and bail has been accepted in the sum of s3,5OO for hls appearance Rt the next term of Court. It is evident from this showing, that Missouri people think Mir. James badly abused man"
 But, after all "a man should be judged by the company he keeps" The James boys and their followers had hosts of friends throughout Missouri who did not hesitate to profit by a division of spells; how then could these men fail to come to the relief of their old friends in the hour of need? The moral standard of Arizona is not as high as we should like to have it. Yet We can look down on the great State of Missouri. with the hope that sometime in the far distant future her people will be able to tell the difference between murdering human beings, and petty theft.

OPEN uP NEW REsoURcEs

The growth of Tucson. like most western towns at some period ot their existence, has about reached that point beyond which it cannot go. unless the avenues of trade are extended or new resources are developed. Hitherto our town has had a remarkably healthy growth, and while it has never had what may be termed boom, it has ceyer had any material "set-back, at least not of late years. Its growth has been steady and continuous, but how much long CT this season of prosperity will last without opening up new resources is a question upon which there eau be bat little difference of opinion in the minds of those best qualified to judge. Tue son now contains a population of about 10000 people. Is 1t the desire of inc present residents to increase the num- Der? It seems to us there can be but one rational answer to this question: We want immigration, and We want the best kind. We want men with capital to invest ID manufactories and all kinds of commercial projects; m short, We want to make the most 1ounshlng town and county in the Southwest. Can It be dones Certainly It can. We have more resources than inc most sanguine of our people have vet dreamed. It
 L-rst ,F the future Of Arizona, to rely almost entirely upon our mines, which, ID our opinion, is 0 great mistake. l.. IS true our mines are good and now yield more money than all other industries com bined, but it IS also true that a very large proportion of the proceeds of mines goes out Of the Territory, and adds nothing to the value Of taxable property.
 What We want is more Of a permanent character. More mRnufactories, more ranches opened up and more land put in cultivation; more stock ranches and more cattle. horses, sheep and swine. We are glad to know that there has been awakened among the people a desire to invest in cattle and ranch property by men with money. We should like to see this interest extended to agriculture and horticulture. There Is certainly no place in the United States wht re 1t could be engaged In more prohtably. Grain of every description, and hay as well as fruit of all kinds, command a higher price here than almost any place 1 in the country. We pay 2 high price 1 for butter and cheese, and We may as l well say it all comes from abroad. ss our | home production is so little that 1t | practically amounts to nothing. Our | farmers and ranch men should supply | Arizona with butter. and fl they would . turn their attention to 1t, We are of the | impression they would find 1t so profit 1 able that they would soon do 1t. There ! are thousands of good cattle ranches to | be taken up in Arizona yet; some Of the | best grazing lands vet lie idle. True, ! water in many places has not been ! found in sufficient quantities but 1t will | be found. It IS necessary however, for | our people to take hold direct and mould these enterprises into shape.

Locating Claims.

The laws of New Mexico require a certificate of assessment work done ou mining claims to be filed with the Re corder Of the county wherein the clam IS located. The following act of the Legislature will acr as guide to deter mIne when such assessment IS con- pleted:
 Act of 1866, On. 3s, 8 8: "In estimat- ing the worth of labor required to be performed upon any mining claim, to hold the same by the laws of the United States, in the regulation of mines, the value of d days labor IS fixed at the sum of four dollars. In the sense oi this statute eight hours of labor actu' ally performed upon the mining claim shall constitute days labor
 To persons intending to relocate abandoned claims, it IS well worth to know that in the relocation of aban- doned claims the party locates and re- cords with the same particularly as m making an original location or record.
 The fact of tine Improvements already on the ground does not lessen the labor required rom the locator, he must erect a new stake, and unless be adopts ex- actly the old location, he must place new posts, or at all events must see that hls boundary lines are established. It IS substantially Q location the same as fl no former location O. record had ever been made.
 The relocator may state that it is up- on abandoned property. This word may IS sometimes construed to mean "shall," and 1t IS advisable to cover this doubt, especially if the location IS made from the original discovery shaft.
 After the usual period has expired the old claimant has still the first right; but if he has commenced work before another party enters, he must complete the full amount required without un- necessary delay, or otherwise the claim would remain forfeited.
 Where the several owners of claim have allowed the annual period to CT pre- without doing the annual work, any one of them may relocate the claim in his own name.-Lincoln County Ledger.

IT would seem upon further inquiry that the Supervisors of Glla county did mean the narrow gauge railroad pro posed to run from Tucson to Globe. It seems that the Atchison, Topeka & San ta Fe Railroad Company do not like tho proposed road, and some of them have visited the Giia county supervisors and told them that they could have U railroad from Silver City. via Clifton to Globe for the asking. We are glad sad company are so generOus and congratu- late Globe City upon her good fortune, if such should be the case. But certain ly the good people of that thriving city do not anticipate walling in Globe after they hsvs secured said road upon such favorable terms. Instead of antagoniz- ing the Tucson and Globe road, they should feel still more encouraged 10 aid in its construction. It Is a mistaken idea that thIs is a road only from this city to Globe. It extends beyond. Ger talnly tAe Supervisors or Glla conn ty are not jealous of Tucson, its growth and progress. Tucson people desire to help build up Globe City, and the two cities should clasp hands over the road and complete t at as early a day as possible. IT there are no other reasons for protesting against the law new pending than that mentioned. the supervisors should stop and think before acting in the manner they propose. This road wall be built without question, and our ueighbors should not be so hoggish as Co want both roads for noth- ing. A part Of the burden they should bear, f all things else are equal
