The Star has the following good wort

; The Star has the following good words to say about our county: Cochise county continues to progress with well measured tread. Her mines have settled the per- manency of the same, and more men are employed to-day than ever before, and ere long the bullion output will far exceed the most fattering yield of the past. Her agricultural interests are also developing rapidly. The lands. of the San Pedro are being rapidly converted into grain and pastures, we'll supplied with or chards. Sulphur Springs valley bids far to be large agricultural field. by the development of the underAow of water which seems inexaustible in the valley. Her grazing advantages are among the best of any county in the Territory, and never before in the history of Cochise has there been such thorough cooper ation among those representing all of her material interests, to act in harmony to the end that the resources of the county might become generally known. This is what makes prosperity. Yes, and per- petual prosperity.

v. =. -'.- z 4 '. .. : THE. MINING LAWS.
Previsisas sf ssswait's sln .as PsassA by the
 Senate. t-~ 2,

In the U, s. Senate. on the zsth Inst. Senator Stewart of Nevada called up his bill to amend the mining laws and the Senate passed it without . word of ex. pianation from anybody. The bill cor rects large number ef mining defects in the laws and makes some material changes. Among the changes are the following: The amount of work neces- sary ts hold a placer clain is reduced from SIoo per annum to $50, and limits the amour, of placer ground that may be included in patent to I6o acres. It fix. es I2 o'clock noon, on the first day of August, as the commencement and end of the year of the annual work, instead of midnight of the 3Ist of December, as now fixed by law. The change was made to allow relocation to be made in day. light and in summer time, when the mountains are free fiom snow.
 It requires when the annual work is performed, the bling of m affidavit show. ing the work performed. in the County Recordet's office of the county in which the mine is situated. It allows the affi. davits which are required to be mads 1 under jhe mining law to be sworn to be- | fore aAy officer authorized to administer oa,hs in any State or Territory in the United States. It reserves the right o way through or over any mining claim for roadss ditches, canals, cuts and tun- uels for the. purpose of working other mines as new provided by law. and pro vides that any damages occasioned thereby to the mine owner shall be assess ed and paid in the manner provided b, law. for the condemnation of privat. property fof public use in the States anc Territories in which the mines are situa ted.
 It also provides that uo person shal acquire by location or possession more than one mining claim on the same ve,n nor shall any person relocate . clain which he has previously located. Thi, is to prevent repeated locations of th, same claim by the same person to evads the provisions requiring annual work The restriction to one claim on the sam, lode is really what the original law meant but it has been construed otherwise, ant this declaration makes it's meaning cer tain.

-i It seems to be tolerably well settled that railroad in the near future will be
 built, either by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, from Fairbank to this city, or by the Southern Pacific from Benson. The best route is without doubt from Benson to. Tombstone. It is at least four miles shorter than by Fairbank, and with easy grades from here to the mouth of Bisbee canon,in the Sulphur Spring Val. ley, It would accommodate Blsbee, and do all the business from that enterprisine burg. It will also open up the rich Sul' phur Spring Valley, and from there by easy grades and light work to the Guad- alupe Canon. where it would receive all the traffic from OposurA, and the thickly settled country of Northern Sonora, Mex. ico. Continuing it's course through San Simon Valley, it could connect with the main line at CT near Deming. The Sul- phur Spring Valley, with it's water and rich soil capable of sustaining large population. ought to be sufficent induce ment for railroad capitalists to build the road there. The transportation from Tombstone, independent of the ores which are taken to the mills on the San Pedro, amount to 7so tons per month. And with the ores which would go by the railrpad, would increase the tonnage more than two thousand tons monthly. Bisbee now furnishes 1900 tons of freight monthly. This, without taking into con- sidera,ion the increased amount of freight which would naturally flow to the road from increased faci i,ies, would, it is safe to say, be increased a5 per cent annually. The distance from Benson to Tombstone is several miles shorter than via Fair. banks; there is not more than two miles difference in distance between Farbank and Tombstone to Bisbee, while the |, Tombstone route possesses advantages in grades which the Fairbank route can. not claim. As business proposition, the road to Tombstone, with It's large and es- tablished business, ought to offer sufficient reasons for the officers of the company to decide the question of routes withou, further barley or delay. It is estimated that the difference in cost of constructing either line will not exceed $7o,ooo. The advantages are in favor of,he Tombstone route, where no bridges are required, while on the other route quite expensive bridges will have to be built

THE EPIDEMIC SUICIDE. From the Boston Advertiser.

A pessimist would find in the general and apparantly increasing practice of self-destruction in our times his strongest argument. Even an optinist must ad- init that something is radically wrong in the tendency of things which makes life cheap in the estimation of many who cast it from them with scarcely more seeming concern than they would bestow on q worn..and ill.itsinE garment.
