AS will be seen in another place, a
railroad is to be built from Little
Falls to Wadena. This statement
was confirmed by Mr.. Willard himself
in an interview published in the
Minneapolis Journal, and it is alto
gether probable that the Manitoba
will come in here also, over the track
of the Sauk Centre Northern which
has recently passed into the hands of
that road; therefore it would seem
that Wadena with all of it's natural
advantages of location is likely to
be railroad centre, and will be the
largest town and business centre on
the main line Of the n. P. between
Duluth and Fargo, not excepting
Brainerd, which depends upon the R.
r. shops located there for its busi-
ness, having no country surrounding
it of value for farming purposes. 1t
would seem we'll to us for our busi-
ness men to take hold Of the opportun-
tiles thus to be opened up to them,
and to prepare for the brilliant future
that surely lies before us.

have seen the ploughman of the hamlcts, and

the rustic festival of the day. A plough
was decorated with ribbons, feathers anything

The gentleman whose name heads this article is in the employ of the A. & P. road as Roadmaster of the Fifth Division, with headquarters at Peach Springs. MT. H is a Virginian by birth, and although but $ years of age, has had large experience in rail- roacing, having been in the employ of the Cincinnati Southern, also the New Orleans, Texas & Pacific com. panies. He came into the employ of the A. & P. road in December last, and in the following February was made roadmaster for the Fifth Divis- ion, and on the different sections be. tween this point and the Needles he has in his employ, or under his direc- tion, about one hundred and fifty men. It may well be said that he has reconstructed the Fifth Division, as the wash-outs this fall made at differ ent times almost a total wreck of the bed of the road, and MT. Halls ex- perience and promptness in repairing the work of the heavy rains leaves the track in much better condition than it originally was. Quiet and unas- suming in his manners, but develop ing a stern and determined counte- nance, he goes about his task with few wor s, but with an energy that seldom fails in any man.

Arizona.

The vast mineral resources of the richest country under the sun are be- ing steadily developed. Many mil lions of dollars are annually extracted from its mines, and shipped away to swell the wealth of the great commer- cial marts of the world.
 Upon thousand hills the seams and lodges, teeming with metals, are yielding their treasures to the energy and industry of man.
 The hardy, adventurous prospector the true pioneer of civilization on this coast-penetrating the unexplored fastnesses of the mountains, braving the dangers and scorning the hard ships of his lonely and perilous voca- tion, is daily bringing to light fresh evidence of the wondrous wealth of this modern Ophir.
 Arizona has the richest copper and some of the richest silver mines in the world. Gold is found everywhere. Iron and other metals useful in the arts and manufactures of the world art produced in varying quantities. It, rich and fertile soil is made to yielc agricultural products equal to tic needs of its inhabitants, with mar gin to spare for exports.
 The output of bullion from Arizona mines in 1882 was nearly SIa,ooo 900 and it is probable that the current year will show largely enhanced yield.
 Thousands of mines, scattered all over the Territory, prospected sufi ciently to demonstrate their value, await the erection of works for the reduction of their products. Arizona is noted for the production of its free milling ores, and yet large percent age of its mines yield smelling ores, carrying mostly their own fluxes.- Chicago Mining Review.

It may be matter of interest tu many of the stock-growers of Arizona to know that cattle imported from Mexico into the, United States for breeding purposes are not dutiable. onsul-General Simon, of Matamoras, has addressed to the state depal; ;ment a communication on the subject oi cattle in Mexic and the United States, having reference principal. to the question of how to best sup. ply the demand for cattle for ranches ofthe western states. The importa- tions of live stock have in the past paid an ad valorem duty, but under the recent treasury regulations, the scope of which has been established by a test case, he says, animals foI breeding purposes can be imported free of duty, the person importing them being only obliged to satisfy the consul and collector that he imp Tt. them for such purposes.

It is somewhat peculiar fact that during the recent hot spell in Califor mia, Arizona and the Colorado desert were comparatively cool. As one of the amusing featares of the contrast we may mention that last week quite a number of Angelenos were returning from Arizona. When they reached Indio in the evening the mercury was found to register 90 degrees. Sad one of our townsmen, exultingly: "You wait until we get to the other side of those mountains, and you will then know what it Is to strike de lightful climate" The next morning our friend stepped out at the station at Cotton, to find that the mercury, thus early, had attained Io4 in the shade. He suspended, for the nonce, his disquisitions upon climate.-Los Angeles Times.

We'll, my mind was made up to see you, but did not want any one to know 1 was gong out, so as not to cause suspicion. l sat down to play a game of cards, after which got up with the intention # going to bed. remained Tn my room until 1 thought all was quiet and could steal out, when to my sorrow md disappointment, I found the door fastened from the outside, either done py Bob or Al. l knocked for them 10 let me out, but they did not hear me. O.! my God! what was l to doa l lay on the bed and cried until thought my heart would break. wept only as lover can, when so deeply in feelings of love as am, but iarling, my own, will you look on me u the same light as do? If thought you doubt me the tolls of this world would be all lost to me, and would be sure to never see Peach ,pringsl Now, my dear, come to me with an open copntenance, and con- iess you love me, and don't doubt my truth and honor, and even if l should be in the same fix again l will be with you if have to force my way through iron plate doors, for lover strength IS most powerful.

Dr. D. J. Brannen, of Flagstaff, was in town this week, attending upon our townsman, Conductor Nelson, who has been lying seriously i'll for several weeks. He reports the condi- ton of MT. Nelson as being still criti- cal, and, although he will recover, his system has been so much reduced by fever it will take him some time to recuperate. Since the resignation of Dr. Mason as physician for the A. & P. road, Dr. Brannen has been called to attend to that business, and he now has about as large a circuit to travel over as any physician in the Territory. He is reputed to be an excellent physician and one of the most accomplished surgeons on the Pacific coast.

Flagstaff.

This is the name given to the great st numbering town on the A. x P. railroad, in Arizona. The place is 'etween 7s and 100 miles north of Prescott, by winding road. It is lot far from the base of the San Fran ,lsco mountains, the highest in Ari- zona. To get there from Prescott, me travels across about thirty mics 'f excellent prairie grazing land; the -en,ainder of the way through cedar, juniper, oak and pine timber. Grass grows everywhere, and water is found m tanks and springs. The altitude of Flagstaff IS up in the clouds. It will oe somewhat cold up there this win ter. Saw mills in the vicinity give employment to about 1000 men and great many teams. There are in the vicinity of Flagstaff many horses, cattle and sheep.
 In railroad building times the town was given hard name by rufians who trequented it; now the people are Us quiet as Sunday school class, so it IS said. Sheriff Henkle tells us that there about fourteen business houses ,n Flagstaff; new ones are starting or being started almost every week. As MT. Ayres, its wealthiest saw mill nan, proposes to build thirty miles of
 he proposed Mineral Belt railroad, it Is fair to presume that Flagstaff will be the northern terminus of tn road, md that it will in consequence grow to be very large town.-Prescott Courier.

]. O. Dunbar, cx-county treasurer of Cochise county, we are pleased to note from an advertisement in the Tombstone Daily Republican, is again in possession of his Dexter Stables, in that city, and doing busi. ness in his own name, as of yore. He is one of the original officia' relic, of Cochise county, who, lingering. "the villain still pursueth," but as his financial affairs with the county are satisfactorily closed, he can now look back orly to regret the many acts oi kindness he has extended to those who afterwards persecuted him most and who profted by his temporary misfortune.
