USEFUL JEWELERS' NOTES.

Celluloid may be mended, it is said, by wetting the edges with glacial acetic acid and pressing them together for short time
 To brighten and polish nickel plating and prevent rust apply rouge with little fresh lard or lard oil on wash leather CT piece of buskin.
 A cement for meerschaum can be made of quicl1lime mixed to thick paste with the white of an egg. This cement will also unite glass or china.
 To bend glass tube fill the tube with finely sifted sand, close both ends, and heat it over the flame of a Bunsen burner, It may in this manner be easily bent without losing it's roundness at the elbow.
 For frosting watch caps, plates, etc, use two and half parts nitric acid, two muri atie acid, full strength. Dip the articles for few seconds; rinse in water; scratch brush with circular motion; then gid.
 For soldering britannia use the usual chloride of zinc soldering fluid with little sal ammoniac in it. An easy flowing solder can be made of tin, one part; bismuth, one-half part; lead, one part; carefully melted together gt low heat.
 A French industrial paper gives the fol lowing recipe for paste that will remove rust and not scratch the finest polished surface: Cyanide of potassium, sixteen gtains; soap fifteen grains; chalk (blanc de Mendon), thirty grains; water sufficient to make thick paste.
 A transparent cement for porcelain is prepared by dissolving seventy-five parts of india rubber cut into small pieces, in a bottle containing sixty parts chloroforn; to this add fifteen parts gum mestic. Let the bottle stand in cold water until the tn- gradients have become thoroughly dis solved.
 Keep an oil stone covered when not in use. Clean 1t often with benzine, turpen- tine or soap and water. Invariably use a good quality of oil-fne sperm oil is the best If the sperm oil is not liquid enough add little clock oil Do not put too much oil on the stone-it will cut 10 faster for the addition.
 To solder tortoise shell bring the edges of the pieces of shell to fit each other, observ- ing to give the same inclination of grain to each; then secure them in piece of pa per and place them between hot irons or pincers; apply pressure and let them cool. The heat must not be 50 great as to burn the shell, therefore try it first on piece of white paper-Jeweler's Weekly

RAILROADS.
HOW GRAHAM COUNTY WILL BE AF-
 FECTED BY THEM.
The Talk That the AtchIson, Topeka and santa Fe will Build to Benson--- The Probable Route---A
 Cheerful Outlook

Railroads are a necessity to the devel- opment of every country. Without them products, beyond the amount required for home consumption, becomes worth less. The greater the number of com peting lines the better for the country
 Arizona IS to-day suffering for want of competing railroad lines to a greater ex- tent than any other state or territory in the United States True we have two great trunk lines passing through our territory from east to west, but as an i'm passable mountain range lies between them, they are each without opposition. and are at liberty to put rates at such high figures as their greed for gain and love of profits may dictate. Without competition they are beyond control
 There has been talk recently about the Santa Fe building line from some point in New Mexico to connect at Benson with the Sonora, owned and operated by that company. It IS believed by many that such line would yield handsome returns on the investment, besides giving the Santa fe a continuous line from the Gulf of California to the east. The route is a good one and line could be easily built and at a small cost Those familiar with the mountains and valleys through which it would pass say that from Benson up the San Pedro to near old Camp Grant, thence to the Aravaipa Canon, thence to Cedar Springs and through Eagle pass to the Gila valley at or near Fort Thom- as, thence up the valley to Solomonville and then across by Ash Springs to Shel- don and Duncan and on to Silver City, would afford a route entirely feasible, and that the grades nowhere would be great. The business of such a route would include the greater part of the cat tie ranges of southern Arizona, which has shipped nearly 50,000 head during the past four months the agricultural products of the San Pedro and Gila valleys; it would carry the ore, coke and bullion for the Mammoth, Bunker Hill, Aravaipa, Globe, Clark and Lone Star mining districts, where hundreds of mines in each locality named would be put in operation that now lie idle for want of cheap transpor- tation. Such 6 road would also be the means of opening up mines in the Clifton mining district The freight now trans ported from Wilcox and Bowie to the country which would be tributary to such a line, requires the steady employment of fully two hundred ten-ton teams and with the coming of such line the in- creased mining operations would furnish ore for transportation beyond comprta- ton, It would hardly be completed be fore the products of this valley would amount to at least two or three million of dollars per annum which would go to market over 1t. Whenever a railroad freak breaks out again Arizona will re- ceivs attention, and the Bulletin conf dently expects to see the first new rails laid down in the territory to be on line passing through Graham county.

Death From Foul Air
hIohave Miner.

On Saturday last Wm, Dougherty was overcome by gas at the bottom of 45- foot shaft on the Cyclopic mine in Gold Basin John Hinman and deceased were working on contract, and the following statement in regard to the affair was made by Hinman at the inquest held by M. Scanlan, who acted as coroner;
 We were expecting to finish our con tract by the first of July, and had finish ed drilling three holes which were fired about nine o'clock in the morning. We sharpened tools which took us about one hour, when we went back to the shaft and Dougherty went down and hauled up three buckets, when went to empty my barrow, when I came back Dougherty was groaning and asked him what waa the matter, he said the smoke was too thick, l got canteen of water and went to him and found him partly lying down with his hands on his face. The water did not recover him and got him up the incline about sixteen feet. The gas was overcoming me and had to get fresh air, I tried to fan the smoke out the shaft with blanket, could do nothing alone, I went to the O. K. for help. The air in the shaft had always been good before"

OVER THE RANGE.
A Railroad Route Across the Sierra 1Ia-
 dre.
Nogales Herald


 Charles E. Herbert, an accomplished engineer and author of the latest official map of Sonora, says the City of Mexico Two Republics, has found a practicable railroad route across the great Sierra Madre range from the Pacific shore to the plateau of Mexico. MT, Herbert was assisted in his investigations by the en- gineeT who traced out the tortuous route of the Denver & Rio Grande, from Pueb- 10, Colorado, to Provo, Utah. Following up the f'uerte River which empties into the Gulf of California at or near Topolo- banpo bay, these engineers found a grade to the plateau on the eastern side of the summit, of only three per cent as the ex- treme or about l50 feet to the mile. Us ually the grade Is hght, the figures given being the extreme in the ascent of the unavoidable mountains, h the vicinity of Batopilas two surveys were run-one within ten miles of Boss" Shepard's mine, involving heavy grade and a long tunnel, and the other thirty miles away, of easy grade and without tunnel How ever, 1t will require sixteen tunnels to reach the plateau on the eastern side ot the summit, most of them being short and comparatively inexpensive. But the road will be built It will be the most northerly road south of the Southern Pacific in the United States that can possibly cross that great range of mountains Few Americans who have not explored that modern continental di- vide can conceive of the extent and rug gedness of the Sierra Madres The east ern plateau runs up, like the eastern slope" of the Rocky mountains, almost imperceptibly to the summit; but on the west side the slope extends for two hun l dred miles or more-once a gently slop- ing plateau of feebly coherent CT but | partially lthifed mineral matter that in i the ages had became deeply eroded by 1 the enormous precipitation of rain caused ! by the condensation of the moisture from i the Pacific ocean coming in contact with the always cold atmosphere of the noun tains. While there are no great granite dikes or culminant peaks or ridges in the Sierra Madres, as in the Sierra Nevada or Wasatch ranges, 1t Is as a whole in- tinltely more rugged and impossible, be- ing for nearly four hundred miles north and south by two hundred miles east and west, confused mass of mountains oi erosion, checkered in every direction by deep cafions and gorges from a few hundred to many thousands feet in depth And in this region of soft rock it is not uncommon for five inches of water to fal within eight minutes so that whole mountains are carried away in an hour Further south in the region of the RiC Fuerte and it's tributaries the country rock isa more indurated and less sublec to erosion. Here the intergulf railroaC will be built, for north of that region i could not be maintained for a single sea son-if it could be built. But once across the mother range, this Pacific railwa, will seek the shortest and most feasible route to the trade centers of the United States

Skipped Out.

A young man named Harrison, who has for long time been a trusted clerk in the railroad office at Guaymas, has skipped out taking with him about S1000 of the company's money which he should have left in the safe, It appears that he sent his wife, who is the daughter of a Mexican rancher Sister of Verdugo who murder Cohn in this city) near Guaymas, to the country to visit her parents. He then stated that he was going to visit her but instead, took the train at Ortiz and came to this city. Here he took the stage for Tucson and has not been seen since. The loss will probably fall upon c. o. Butts, who is the agent and who has been sick for some time and trusted to Harrison s honesty Noeales Herald.
