That long-promised American hotel, like
the millennium, is still not forthcoming.
What a blessing 1t would be to nave a bill

d'hote dinner, in which there Is very little
change, and go out wandering around to
some Of those numberless restaurants. The
only variety at a hotel dinner day after day
Is a slight change in the way the hare is
cooked. At the restaurants it is the eternal

ham; and you get as tired Of the grill as of

There Is a better opening in London to-

Very serious Matter.

The territorial board of auditors finished
its labors yesterday. The board found a
very serious error in the books, which it
required several days to satisfactorily set
tie. There was a surplus of cash mount
ing to twenty cents. The board didn't
want it, Treasurer Gannett didn't want it,
and for two days that twenty cents was a
white elephant which could not be gotten
rid of. Finally it was agreed that Gov
ernor Warren shauld take it, with the
understanding that in case he is convicted
of embezzlement, he may issue a pardon
in his own behalf.

A Valuable Cabinet.

Mr.. Weitae, the well known Sixteenth
street photographer, has just arranged and
mounted one of the finest and most beau
tiful mineral cabinets which any private
collector has in this region. The minerals
include representatives of rich ores and
individual curiosities valuable as metallur-
ogical eccentricities. The display of pyri-
ties is very large; gold and silver ores are
shown; several gold nuggets are included
in the list, one of these being very large;
asbestos, tin ore, peacock silver, wire gold,
and other beautiful ores are included, and
altogether the cabinet is one of the most
valuable of its size which could be col
lected. The cabinet is a private one, but
Mr.. Weitie is always ready to show the
treasures to his friends.

doing his duty, and that the ferry company
had ordered all n~uisances suppressed. He
acknowledged that he had complained Of
her. The murmurs of discomfort and anger
arose around him, at which he seemed
somewhat disconnected and, approaching

Then she told ker pitiful story OF a sick

matter Of raising money for the current

in favor Of free seats in the evening, that
there wonld always be at the morning ser
vice seats free for any and all who wish to

The Land Grant of this Company, in alternate sections extends entirely across the Tsrritores of New Mexico and Arizona, between the 34th and 10th degrees of north latitude It IS 65o miles long and So miles wide and includes Some of the best grazing lands of both Territories. In the valleys are many desirable tracts ofagricuitura land, sus- ceptible of irrigation. sufficiency of water has been found wherever cattle and sheep have been grazed, and large herds have been grazed in the country ever since the coming of the Mexicans. Wells have been sunk and good water has been obtained.
 A stream of running water, the San Jose, rises near the summit of the Sierre Madre, and runs 7s miles eastward to the Rio Puerco, and the compa- ny's road follows the whole length of its valley. There are numerous fine valleys opening into the valley of the San Jose, hanked by grassy and woo- ded hills, upon which there is an open growth of small cedar and pinou. There is an ekI=nsive belt of good pine timber on the mountains near the railroad and good springs found on both slopes of the Sierre Madre. There is large coal field west of Fort Wingate which has been fully cx- plored and which will afford labor for large pop ulation, there also coal deposits the eastern slope of the Sierra Madre. Many varieties of bui- ding stone are found in great abundance along the line of the road.
 In Arizona the grazing areas are supplied with good water, and the United States Surveyors, who made the official surveys of the country, say they are as good, if not better, than those of Wyoming and Montana. The Navajo Indians grow corn without irrigation. the valreys of the Puerco of the West, on the Company's lands, and in the val- ley of the Little Colorado, also the line of the road, good crops of corn, sorghum, oats, barley, and garden vegetables are grown by irrigation, he finest of potatoes, oats, wheat barley and gar den vegetables of large size and fine quality have been successfully grown without irrigation ou
