ALBUQUERQUE is one of the most enterprising thrifty towns ID New Mexico, and from present indications 1t is likely to become the metropolis of that Territory. IL is situated on the line of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, and IS the initial point of the western division of the Atlantic and Pacific which extends west to the Needles. In time the eastern portion of that road. known as the St. Louis and San Francisco, which IS completed to Seneca. and controls leased hne to Wichita, Kansas, will be continued west to Albuquerque. We believe there IS also an other eastern company which contemplates extending a road west to that town. The town IS settlngu with enterprising people, and IS growing rapidly Those of our citizens who have recently V sited Albuquerque inform us that it already contains population nearly half as large as Tucson. There are considerable agricultural lands Tn the neighborhood of Albuquerque on the Rlo Grande river, and good grazing lands Tn every direction, so that aside from railroads, Albuquerque has other resources to hep build up and sustain an important trade center.

REPORTS continue to reach us of the wholesale destruction of timber on Cov- erumenf land along the line of the At lantc S Pacific railroad for foreign ex- port The CITIZEN has already called the attention of government officials to the destruction of timber upon government lands. but there seems to be no cessation m the cutting and transporting fl large amounts Of lumber and bridge tim bers to Mexico. which are being used in the construction of railroads in that country. A small portion of the lumber and timber has been obtained from land purchased or contracted for of the At Iantic S Pacific railroad c mpany; but most of it is being taken from government land. Why the Commis- sioner of the Land Office, and Secretary of the Interior, allow this destruction of timber to go ou We are at a loss 10 un- derstand. IT the Land Department neglects looking after this matter much longer, tine Mexican Central railroad will be completed and laid with ties from government lands of the United States, contrary to law and the will of the people. We call the attention of the Commissioner of the Land Office to this matter once more. and suggest that he take action to prevent the further destruction of timber iu this Territory, to be used in improving and developing 8 foreign country.

A NEW RAILROAD PROJECT.

IL appears that the contemplated railroad from some point on the Atlan- tie and Pacific south is to be extended Co a connection with the Guaymas road. Hon. c. A. Franklin, of Apache county passed through Albuquerque few days since, and while there learned from a reliable source that the promoters of the new enterprise are Boston men, who have thoroughly considered the re sources Of the country, and have fuiy determined to begin the construction of the road. as soon as practicable route can be d termned upon. 4 corps of en- ciueers will be put in the field at nee. It is believed that Winslov, a station on the Atlantic and Pacific road, about 2S5 miles west of Albuquerque, will be the initial point, and that the line will ex- tend southwest in the direction of Ionto Basin via Globe to Tucson; thence south connecting with the New Mexico and Arizona road at Calabasas. The road is to be Of standard gauge and first class in every respect.
 While we have no means of knowing the intention ot tEe men who have the building of the road m hand, vet it looks very much as though it was movement on the part of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe folks to secure connection with the Sonora Limited, which would do away with .ne necessity of building road from Demiug west to Benson, and at the .ame time give them a shorter line from Guaymas to Kansas City. By BG-5ag from Wiuslow south to Tonho Basin the road would pass through Q country covered with timber and mderlaid with as fine deposits Of coal as exist ID the United States; thence south to Tucson it would pass through fine mnlng and grazing country, and would also tap the Deerfield coal mines The construction of the road could be pushed south from Wiuslow, and north from Calabasas, which would result in the speedy con structiou of the road. Iron could be procured fr ID England for the southern portion, and ,ies from California. The project Is a feasible one, ard If the parties are responsible. and 1t Is claimed they are, the huiliing of the road may be expected at once. The construction of such a road would prove to be of great value to Tucson and southern Arizona. It would not only open up the heart Of Arizona to us, but would give us a competing line to the East,aud tO a certain extent to the Pacific coast. It Is a project that would at once com maud the attention and support uf our people. as 1t woull largely aid m plac- mc the future of Tucson on the high road to prosperity, and greatly add to the real yea tn Of Arizona.

APACHE is one of our best grazing cpunties. The county Is sparsely set. tied and could support ten times it. present population and still allow plenty of elbow room to ranchmen. Il is now stocked with 3O0OOO sheep, and s1out j0,0OO head ot cattle and horses.
