The Point Of Meeting of the South
ern Pacific and Atlantic & Pacific
Railways on the Colorado River
EDITOR HERALD: My notes on the
new route OF the Southern Pacific Rail
way, published in your issue Of yester-
day, carried me as far as the Needles on
the Colorado river. l now propose to
tell your readers something about this
locality. which promises to be one Of
the prominent points on the new route.
The Needles" proper, is some eight
miles south of the junction at which the
railway buildings and town are to be
located. And 1t seems to the writer
that the name is little far-fetched, as
there is nothing but few rock pointed
mountains to suggest it. However, we
have high authority for saying, that
there is nothing in a namc.

A Young man named Beach. son of the
editor of the Prescott Miner, has opened
q newsofice in a brush "wickiup,"
which has been gotten up in a very
picturesque form. An enterprisinr
Chinaman has restaurant in an estab-
lishment somewhat similar. A tent
saloon and some two or three dismap tied
box cars. used BY the 'city merchants"
for warehouses, complete the group of
esta blishments that constitute this nom
descript village. During my stay at
the river the ubiquitous drummer put in
an appearance. 1t wa, Mr.. NJ. S. Oster.
houdt, representing the billiard house
of Jacob strahle 4 Co., of San Fran.
cisco. He had made the circuit around
by Prescott and came over the Arp.
road. Mai. J. X. Duncan, representing
the express company, also put in an an.
pearance from Albuquerque.
