MhataRailroad Yfill Do.

One of our citizens recently return ed from Dudleyville, gives us the fol- lowing items: The people of that section are ]ubilant over the prospect of the building of the Tucson, Globe & Northern railroad. Prospectors and mine owners are preparing to open up their mines, ranchers are speculating on an increase in the val ue of land, and several organized com panies are contemplating renewal of operations.
 This railroad in operation will en- able the Ray copper company, the San Carlos copper company, the Pe.lro . Consolidated mining and milling com pany and other concerns Ill that sec ton to start up.
 The Mammoth mine and mill is sold and will begin work within thirty days.
 Capt. Jack Burgess has sold his Granite Hill" group of silver mines to St. Louis company and will begin extensive development work this month.
 Harry Barnhart is pursuing a course of systematic work on the Sample group of mines. blocking out ore and putting the property in condition for reduction works. The working shafs is down 300 feet i'll good ore and drifts are now being run east and west. The ledge is widening and everything in- dicates the close proximity of another body of very rich ore. As soon as the 300 foot station is cut sinking will be resumed The Sample is good mine now, but MT. Barnhart wants to have enough ore in sight, before recom- mending a mill. The Red Fox and Department mines are bonded to Tellu- ride, Colorado, parties who contract to do do worl. before June To-
 Altogether the outlook Is good and the assurance of the building of the Tucson, Globe & Northern R. R. will make boom all along its line, as iin- mense bodies of smelling ore exist too low grade to work now, but with this railroad they can and will be worked. . Our informant prophecies dividends to the railroad company as soon as it's ,, road reaches the mouth of the San ,, Pedro riyer.-Citizen.

ELSEWHERE we publish letter from Mir. s. T. Gage, general attorney of the Southern Pacific railroad company, branding as falsehood the statement published in some of the territorial newspapers that Ex-Governor A. P. K. Safi'ord, while governor of Arizona, had acted in the capacity of attorney for the Southern Pacific railroad and was under pay as such. Of course very few people at all acquainted with Governor Stafford be iev5d the charges but if they are permitted to remain unreiuted, strangers to the facts may accept them as at least a reflection upon the integrity of Gov. Stafford. Tc those that know the gentleman a per sonal denial of the charge is sufficient to refute it, without further proof.

THE Epitaph is in error in stating that the District Judges have received extra compensation from the several counties for many years. It is not yet quite two years since application was made to the supervisors for extra compensation, although it was GUS tomary before that time for the coun- ties to provide chambers for the judges and, in some instances, their hotel ex- penses were paid by the county.

Probably no one thing has caused such general revival of trade at Thomas F.

Their trade is simply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disap- points.

TIE Los Angeles Times believes it to be officially determined that the Apache Indians now under restraint at Mount Vernon, Alabama, are to be returned to Arizona. We cannot for moment believe such a report, for erery interest of the government, of the Indians themselves and the people of this territory is against such an ill- considered action. Their return means more bloodshed and expensive military campaigns to again hunt down the ienls, while the existence Of an Iudian war would paralyze all civil industries in the territory and stop all the progress now so favorably begun. The better plan for the government to pursue would be the entire removal ol all the Apache Indians ahd the aban- donment of the several military posts rendered necessary by their presence here. We want no Indians and dc not desire even the main enance of a large military force for other than possible international troubles upon the frontier of our neighboring re public. Arizona has brilliant des tiny, the fulfllment of which Is greatl, impeded ny recurring troubles witt the Apache Indians. Their entire re moval will be the greatest blessing that could granted our territory anC we trust the government will not for moment seriously consider the propo sition to return those already banish | ed.

THE property of the Tucson Water company is advertised at Sherif's sale to recover $17S,000 and interest loaned by the Atchinson Saving Bank. As the gross income of the company is but $750 per month and the expenses and interest aggregates $1250, the financial expansion balance of the en- terprise is evidently out of repair.

THE state of Missouri has adopted the Australian system of voting, with such notifications as our form of government demands. This system has been fully explained in previous numbers of THE ENTERPRISE, and it seems to present all the safeguards for the purity of the ballot box that can be desired. The effect of its general adoption will be the total loss of occu- patton to the ward strikers and bosses and the exercise of the free will of every voter in casting his ballot.

1t is evident the people who built these remarkable structures had no knowl- edge of the use of iron. In the inn mediate vicinity the traces of an i'm mense irrigating canal have been fol- lowed to the Gila river, forty miles dis tant. This canal no doubt brought water to the city, and irrigated the rich valley which surrounds the ruins in every direction.
 "Casa GrAnde Is one of the most in teresting remains of the prehistoric age to be found on the continent.

The prehistoric ruins of Casa Grande, that stupendous monument of the an cient glory of the valley of the Giia and the only walls of the great cities that formerly existed here now left standing, are to receive the needed attention of the government for their proper care and preservation from the vandal hands of relic hunters and the action of the elements
 A short time ago Rev. NIT. White more, of this place, interested himself in the matter, having witnessed the destruction of some of the most valu- able evidences of skilled architecture in those crumbling walls, and wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Interior, which elicited the following correspon- dence and official action:

ARRIVAL OF COL. MORRISON.

In accordance with the above or ders, Col. Alex. L. Morrison arrived from Santa Fe last Tuesday and on the following day visited tine ruins with Rev. Whittemore and made a thorough inspection with view to arriving at some feasible plan for their preservation. The smallness of the appropriation for that purpose rem ders it extremely difficult to accom- plish much that is essential to the protection of the walls, which are showing such evidences of disintegra- ton that the rains and winds find it easy to effectively accomplish their work of destruction. The grounds should be fenced to keep out intruders :; the crumbling walls should be repaired and a roof provided to keep out the de- structive rains. It IS believed the surrounding debris completely covers the two lower stories of the edifce and, as fast as practicable this should be removed in order that the whole structure may be shown and possibly something of historical value be there by discovered. Should any hieroglyph- ic records remain therein they will likely be found within the rooms upon the ground floor or else stored safely away in possible subterranean vaults beneath. The history of this myster- ious race of industrious and intelle gent people is yet to be written and every atom of information concerning them their origin, existence and final extinction, forms valuable link il the record of the mysterious people who evidently fourished here and en joyed fair degree of civilization at { period possibly so remote as to ante date that of the old world

 DEAR SIR II am no politician no tfice-seeker-have no "log to rOll," but simply come to you unsolicited and unadvised, As you well know, l trust, we have, about twelve miles southwest of this place, what is known as Casa Grande ruins, the relic of a building erected by an unknown peo- pie, built of concrete more than 30U, perhaps 500, and may be 500 or Ll1 years ago-nobody knows. Congress has appropriated 5000 towards it's preservation, recently l understood.
 visited it first about one year ago, when two archways were perfect and several pieces of timber supporting them in the walls were seen. On Thursday the 4th instant, the Presby- tery of Arizona (of which I am an ex- moderator and Chairman of the Home Mission Committed visited the spot and every vestige of timber had been removed and those arches are injured badly. The vandal hands of relic hunters are fast despoiling the Tenn pie.
 1 feel it my duty to report this tC you and ask in the name of the cit zens of this territory and people O the United States that with the leas possible delay you will confer with tht Secretary of Indian affairs and reques him to send guard of soldiers to pro tect this valuable piece of history iron further vandalism
 There should be repaifs-bolts anC rods put in to keep the building iron falling to pieces-and a roof put ol and the walls rebuilt fin part.
 If this matter is not speedily attend { ed to, even before our governor, legis lature and even Congress can move il the matter, much more destruction will destroy this valuable relic.
 If you wish further information o1 this subject I may refer you to Hor R. E. Sloan, a member of the Counct and practicing attorney of this place.
 Very respectfully yours. REV. ISAAC T. WHITTEMoRI Home Missionary of the Presbyte ian Board, located at 53 Fifth Avenu, New fork.
