Ariz0na's New Era.

With the removal of the war like Apaches from Arizona a new era in the history of that territory began. Although the raids of the savages extended only over part of the territory its injurious effect upon immigration was felt in every part. Eastern people in many in stancs did not stop to think of the locality infested by the Apaches. All they recognized was that the Indians were in Arizona, and there fore they refused to think of going to Arizona. But this has changed. Henceforth we may expect to hear of great development of the min eral and other resources of the ter ritory. Railway lines, which al though building, have attracted little notice, will soon receive pub lie attention. Arizona has now two chief lines of railway, and is in connection with these that all other lines must be considered. They are the Southern Pacific, extending from California into New Mexico, through the southern part of the territory, and the Atlantic & Pa ciic, occupying a similar position in the northern part. The other roads are the Arizona & Sonora, which runs from Benson on the Southern Pacific to Nogales on the Sonora border, and which is thence continued to Guaymas; and the Clifton & Lordsburg Narrow Gauge, which runs from Lords burg on the Southern Pacific, Tn New Mexico, to Clifton, Arizona. Tho length of the last line in Ari zona is about forty miles. The above are the completed roads. Besides these there are several other lines which are under con struction. The first of these is a branch of the Atlantic & Pacific, running from Prescott Junction in northern Arizona to Prescott, the capital of the territory. This road will be an important feeder for the Atlantic & Pacific, and it will bring Prescott, one of the most charming towns in the Rocky mountains, into close communica- tion with the outside world. An other is line from Calabasas on the Arizona x Sonora, via Tucson to Globe City, a distance of 15O miles. Globe City is the center of a rich mining district which greatly needs a railroad. Another road is building from Maricopa on the Southern Pacific, via Tempe to Phoenix. Phoenix is on the Salt River, and in the center of one of the best agricultural regions of Arizona There is a projected rail way from Flagstaff, on the Allan tic x Pacific, to Globe City. It is highly probable that this road will be built. When these roads are completed it will only need the ex- tension of the PhceLix road to give Arlzona very good railway sys- tenn. It will, of course be far from complete, but it will give the prin- cipaI parts of the territory commu

No Restriction of flights.

''I see," said one member of the Dakota Legislature to another, Congress has passed bill re- stricting tho powers of Territorial Legislatures"
 "Restricting their powers! I hadn't heard anything about it"
 "Well, it's fact"
 "Then I suppose we can't play poker any more. I've got my opin- ion"
 "Oh, nothing is said about polk er."
 Shuts off some of the appropria- tions, then, I suppose?"
 E'No."
 "Cuts down the members payW
 "That remains unchanged"
 Anything against adjournins and going on excursions?"
 II think not"
 "Well, dozen laws couldn't prevent us from selling out to the railroad companies, so I don't see where any of our privileges have been restricted. With draw poker; big pay, liberal appropriations, far-reaching excursions and an- nual passes; I guess we will have all we ever had. What did the law you spoke of refer to anywayw -Esteline Bell.

The l. A. & T., train came in for the
first time Wednesday morning with the
engine running front foremost. Here
tofore it has been compelled to back
into town because there was no means
OF turning provided at the Newstead
terminus. This difficulty has been
avoided by the construction OF Y
switch at Newstead and turn table in
the city.
This is great improvement and will
add to the usefulness of the road. 1t
make the trip into town safer and
quicker and is more convenient gen.
orally.
The train Wednesday morning
brought in six car loads OF freight.
Throughout the whole season the road
has done fine business and has been
OF the greatest advantage to GAINESVILLE,
adding largely to the trade of the city.
The fact that the road has done so
well while laboring under the p ocular
disadvantages with which the public is
familiar, is due to the efficiency OF the
gentlemen who have managed its affairs,
MIR. Mulligan and Mr.. Manner. They
deserve much credit.
Major Gordon said in letter of re-
cent date to Mr.. Mulligan that he would
be here on the 18th. probably, and not
later than the 10Th. That he had a
proposition to make to the subscribers
looking to the completion of the road
as an independent lire. The nature o.
the proposition was not stated.
