 To THE ENTERPRISE: Your reporter sends you greetings. Under the ei- fleets of this superb weather and gain ing treng h every day from my ire quent rambles over this mountain, feel it my duty to notify you as to work and progress here. The central figure of the camp to-day seems to be the opening up by vertical and incline shafts, the great silver properties known as the Combination Group The final outcome of the work when it reaches proper depth will establish no theory, but practical fac that this great group of mines hugging so closely to the Vekol ore bodies, are so rich in silver metal as the noted lime formations of that remarkable cam called Eureka, Nevada. Tine best wishes of the camp and the verdict of the posted miners and mining men gen rally is that this now famous group of mines known as the Combi nation Group wi do for the southern country service that will place in employment large numbers of miners and consequently cast abroad it's a:- tendant benefits in distributing large sums of money in wages and create a feeling of unanimous confidence in this great district.

Route for Railroad.
SILVER KING, Oct. 22nd.

OlLN EEK MING, OCI. AZnu.
 EDITOR ENTERPRISE :-I have observ- ed considcrabl, railroad talk through the columns of your paper lately, but have failed to note any mention of the plan I propose. 1 would have the Southern Pacific change their line from Tucson and build to Florence, thence to Mesa City, Tempe and Phe- nix and down the river to Gila Bend, thereby traversing the finest belt of agricultural land in, the world. l think the company can be easily in duced to m Ike this change for several reasons: First, the heavy grade about twenty miles east of Gila Bend requir- es an extra engine or "pusher" to help all freight trains over the divide, which will be avoided by the change sug- gest. Second, their line would tra- verge 120 miles of the most fertile coun- try in Arizona, which I might say is the garden spot of the world, instead of passing over a sandy desert. Third, the new route would pass through the capitol city of Arizona and an increase of freights would be inevitable.
 Maricopa county has voted bonus of $4 900 per mile to aid any good and responsible railroad company that will build to Phenix, with an especial de- sire that it be a transcontinental road. Now Final and Pima counties should do likewise and provide a free right of way and depot grounds and 1 will pledge you my word that the road will be built. Some people may ob- ject to this subsidy on account of the increased taxation, but 1 assure you the increased valuation of property will more than make up the difference.
 When you meet traveller in Kan sas City or Los Angeles who has pass ed over the Southern Pacific and ask him his impressions of Arizona, he will invariably tell you he saw nothing but sand blizzards, dry and barren mountains and complete desolation and that it is the border land to hades. He will recite inc fact that the car windows were kept closed to prevent the san from blinding the travellers. But when the route is changed he will have different reply and will. say it is somewhat mountainous and barren but there is one place in particular which IS almost one continuous gar den and it extends nearly all the way from Tucson to Gila Bend. There they have thrifty orchards, fine cattle and horses, beautiful green pastures and thriving and contented people with climate that is almost perfec- ton. See what change these one hundred and twenty miles of road would make in the Gila and Salt river valleys. Besides this, a railroad tra- versing farming country always adds to its prosperity and wealth. Land that Is now held at fifty dollars per acre in Florence would at once ad vance over fifty per cent. on compile ton of the road and will always be in demand at very handsome figures. It would revolutionize the popular senti- ment in the east regarding Arizona and turn the current of immigration this way. Respectfully,
 JAS. O. KINCAID.

A New Road to PinaI.

At recent session of the board of supervisors Messrs w. W. Strohn, A. J. Doran and James Brash were ap- pointed committee to examine the route over the hill above the Reymert mill at De Noon, for new county road, to Pinal The committee has completed its labors and made its re- port to the board that good and practicable road can be built for moderate sum over the three-fourths Of mile necessary to connect with the road built on the other side by the Reymert company to Pinal, and heavy teams can pass easily over it. The idea is to abandon the Queen Creek road which requires such expensive repairs yearly and which now needs an expenditure of fully thousand dollars to put it in good travelling con dition, with a certainty of its again being washed out by the first heavy rain.
 There is another feature in this i'm. provement that will commend itself to the people of Pinal county. The proposed road is six miles shorter from Florence to Final than the old one, and the produce from this valley can find good market at the several camps in that direction, while the Mesa City farmers, who have held almost a monopoly of that trade, will be entirely cut off or compelled to make long and unproitable haul to reach these places.
 Good roads are one of the most es- sential features in the progress and development of the country and pub lie money cannot be more judiciously expended than in building convenient thoroughfares. They repay their. cost every succeeding year in the increased prosperity of the country. 2 County Surveyor A. T. Cotton has been directed to make a survey of the proposed cutoff and estimates of tht cost of its construction.

A Valuable Work.

MT. E. w. Hagerty, of Tempe, visit ed Florence this week and obtained many orders for the several handsome volumes for which he Is agent. Among them is very entertaining and in structive work by J. w. Buel, entitled "The Story of Man," being history of the human race from the creation tu the present time; their origin and dispersion over the globe prehistoric man; the lost Atlantis; ages of stone, bronze, iron and steel, etc.
 Horace Greedy very truthfully said: No man can be truly educated without knowledge of the human race and yet where can this knowl- edge be obtained-the schools do not teach it, and the books which contain 1t are so voluminous and varied that none except those who make study lifetime occupation can afford to read them."
 "The Story of Man" makes 1t possi ble for every man to possess the knowledge which MT. Greedy declared was essential to all true education,, for i'll its brilliant pages is to be found all the information contained in the var jed and voluminous works referred to i; condensed and arranged ill the most convenient form.
 The bronze age was the tIuly heroic age of the world, and here we find a record of some of the greatest and grandest events in the history of hu- manity. This was mans first step up- ward from the slough oi ignorance, de- basement and despondency into which his sin ill Paradise had thrown him, and ss the glorious light of intel hgence began once more to. dawn up- on hlm, ho seems to have struggled with all the forces of his nature to reach higher and better level-near- CT to the God who created him.
 In this department of 1.-The Story of Man" there Is brilliant blending of romance, legends and startling facts ot history, more intensely interesting than the most fascinating novel that was ever written. Here indeed are wonders, and great truths, and splen- did recltals for everyone.
 The Hon. Vim. E. Gladstone says of this work: q consider this one of the most valuable books that has been published for years. The subject is one that interests every human being, and am glad to see it so thorouggly and entertainingly treated by pen so able as MT. Buel's. Money spent for this book will be judiciously and wise ly invested"
 MT. Hagerty will deliver the work to subscribers at prices ranging from $4 to $5 according to style of budding, and may be addressed at Tempe. It Is a work that wll sell on its merits and should find d place in the library of every family.

The New Court House.

The attention of the board of super visors has been largely occupied dur ing the past few days with the consid- eration of matters connected with the proposed new court house.
 A form of the bonds was adopted and the Autographed bonds will be furnished by Bancroft < Co.,, of San Francisco.
 All the plans submitted by the sev- eral architects for the building were rejected for various good reasons, and were all then referred to special committee of practical builders for their inspection and recommendation as to notifications necessary to meet the requirements in cost and general ar engagement. The committee carefully considered the plans and specifications and yesterday reported the ground plan submitted by MT. J. NJ. Creigh- ton, of Phenix, as a supplementary proposition, as more closely approach ing their ideal than any of the others, with certain changes and modifica- tions which Mir. Creighton will be re- quested to embody and to furnish full specifications. The feature of placing the jail in basement, as contemplat- ed by all the plans, was declared ob- jectionable, by reason of want of proper facilities for ventilation and drainage, and it was decided to build the jail walls of stone. The action of the board does not prevent the sub mission of other plans for consider ation as the board is not committed to the acceptance of the modified plan of MT. Creighton. All plans must be on file before o'clock D. m., Novem- Der 7th, and reward Of $100 will be paid for the second choice.
 The plans and specifications sub mitted by Mir. H. R. Leonard were very complete in every detail and handsomely executed, and the eleva- tons present a massive and imposing appearance. Mir. Leonard will prepare new plan embodying the desired changes.
 The question of the location of the court house has not been determined A petition was circulated yesterday for the selection of the public plaza east of the school house, which vii be met b. a counter-petition favor ing its location upon the highe grounds further to the south.
 The Mexican arrested by P. Bosch, and J. D. Thomas near Dudleyville { couple of weeks ago, and still confined in the county jail, is reported to have confessed to his participation in th' murder of Cohn, at Nogales, last year His name is Francisco Rivera, and h. is suspected of being one of the mel who held up the Casa Grande stag on the 2d instant. His associates a the place of his capture are said to b. desperate men whom the merical settlers of the neighborhood greatl, fear. They are always well armed an frequently disappear for several days presumably upon some errand of mis chief. They subjected one of the sci tiers to the indignity of Imprisonment in well, some time ago, for fancie' affront, and they have summary wa of discouraging any inquiries int their private affairs. The party nov in jail is evidently guilty of some gray crime even though his connectio with the stage robbery may not b established.
