GERALD MASSEY claims distinction for the theory that "sll human life be- gan in Africa" We think Massey stretches the thing somewhat; but We are willing to compromise with him, by admitting that great deal of it did We will even give him the benefit of the estimate that in this country alone several millions of it began in Africa.

W. c. DAVIS, who returned from San Francisco this morning, informs us that the mining men of California are much more inclined to look Arizonaward, than in times of yore. They have at least found out that We have something here worth their while to look after. We are glad to have such men turn their attention in this direction, and We have no doubt they will succeed far beyond their expectG- tions.

The above company is pushing the work with all possible dispatch. Me5srs. Drake, Hughes and others of the con- pany, have been over the ground to Lo- gan City, and have selected a route which they think will shorten the dis tance over the present road by from fifteen to twenty miles. Samuel Hu ghes went out to-day to finally locate the line leading out of this place, which will be through BOwlder Pass. This pass Is said to be an easy one to get through, and is perhaps Us short s cut as any that can be selected. Al least, this Is the i'm pression of the Telegraph Company, Gnd as they do not want 10 stretch more miles of wire than they are compelled to, it is safe to conclude that they are on the right
 The construction of the telegraph line then, will be by the nearest route and one that is likely to become the perma- nent wagon road, as they will, in the construction of the line, run about eighty wagons over it, thus break ing It: and it is but natural that those who want to go to the mines by the nearest route will follow the track of the l telegraph line.

GRAHAM COUNTY.

The Detroit Copper Company of this district, which, under its present able management, has done as much as any mining corporation in the Territory to inspire confidence in the minds of east tern investors in the legitimacy and profit of mining, by its splendid output of the past year, have decided to make a very important change in their smelling arrangements, which will, we are con- vinced, in time be the means of largely increasing their bullion output and also of cheapening the product.
 At present, the two furnaces of this company are located on the San Fran cisco river, six miles from the mines. It is contemplated to remove the reduction plant up to the smines. which will be connected with the works by direct series of trGmways.
 Grading has already been commenced for 'he new plant, which V III be erected on the same plan as the. present works on the river, excepting that it will be larger, the main building to be S0x9l feet. and three stacks will be put up instead of two. The company will then De able to keep two furnaces running continuously. Owing to the fact of the road from the mines to the furnaces on the river running for long distance through a narrow canyon, and 1t not being possible for teams to pass each other excepting Tn certain places, it has not been possible to have a sufficient amount of ore hauled to keep two fur Daces running at the present location.
 A turbine wheel A inches in diameter will furnish power to work a Worthing- ton double plunger pump. which will force the water into two redwood tanks of 5000 gallons each, winch will be located near the site of the new plant These tanks will be l 800 feet above and six miles from the river. The water will be forced through 4-inch wrought iron pipe. The contract has already been let to carry the water up to the mines, and it Is probable that by May the stack will be set up at the mines and ready to blow in.
 Az, upon the removal of the smelters from the river, there will be nothing left of the present town of Morenci, 1t is proposed to move the name up to the mines also. and the town up there will be called "Morenci.". - Clifton Cla- riou

OUR LIGHT.

This holiday number of the LIGHT is
pride on our part. 1t is true there has
been no attempt to give exhaustive sta
tstics regarding trade, and the business
of the year generally, but instead is to
be found much valuable and interesting
reading matter, relating to the city and
Its past and present history. The LIGHT
has always endeavored to fill the posi-
tion of the local paper of the city, be-
cause 1t has always been nearest to the
great mass of the people, by reason of
its low price of subscription, and that is
why this number Is really holiday
paper. Its columns show the Impress
Of business activity and competition in
the numbers of splendidly displayed adj
yertlsements of firms who are wide
awake and generous, and all going to
show the Importance, and the progress
and the advantages of San Antonio.
And while this Is In no sense an immi-
grafton paper, 1t will do to show that
Western Texas offers home to every
one, and in Offering that home expects
nothing but the natural enterprise, en-
ergy and ability which any man would
bestow, either as tiller of the soil, or
as capitalist. And when we speak Of
Texas as the Mecca Of the immigrant,
we.will also say that it does not flow with
the mythical milk and honey of idle
ness. Texas offers to the poor man a
home that may be obtained without the
hard labor of a generation, while every
manufacturing Industry, no matter OF
what description, will find an opening In
this city, with positive profits and quick
returns for the investment. This, in
brief, Is what this holiday number says,
and Its prOprletors give II to its readers,
hopefully and trustfully, proud OF its
mission, proud of its makeup, and proud
OF the city and people 1t represents.
