A POSSIBLE PROJECH
Which Would Throws 25O.O00 Acres of
 Land on the Market.
Tucson Citizen.


 MT. J. Thomas, a prominent civil en- gineer of London, England, and builder of the Royal Victoria and Albert Docks, is in the city en route to San Francisco.
 MT. Thomas ostensible purpose in coming to America was for the purpose of constructing docks in New York. By his plan the wharfage facilities are not only immeasurably increased, but suffi- clent acerage is restored to more than sustain the cost of its construction. While waiting for more details, Thomas decided to visit San Francisco, and incidentally Arizona, where he comes with a letter from MT. John Flannigan, superinten- dent of the $4,000000 tunnel from New York to Brooklyn. to Col. Trask, super lntendent of the Salero mines. Wednes- day, Col. Trask and Mr...Thomas will take a flying trip down the Santa Cruz. There is in that vicinity extending to the line. 250,OO0 acres of land which could he made into productive fruit orchards. and small farms by the simple agency of wa ter MT Thomas represents an immense amount of English capital, and if in his judgment schemes of irrigating. some of these lands might prove profitable. there is little question but the work will be un- dertaken, as Mr. Thomas judgment is certainly good in the premises.
 MT. Thomas has some very lattermo letters of introduction to Mir. Mackay in San Francisco and other prominent Der sonages.

Most Wonderful Speaker in the west---A
 Woman.
From the Chicarn Trih,na


 The Farmers Alliance has enrolled 13O,OOO members. The greatest political power within it's ranks, its ablest organi- ger and most powerful speaker, is wo- man, Mrs. Mary A. Lease, a lawyer of Wichita. Mrs. Lease is possessed of orator. ical powers and a comprehension of the political situation which are, for woman, wonderful. She has made up to date 16O speeches each, it is said, differing materially from the other, averaging an hour and half in length, and dealing with every phase of the situation. At Troy she delivered speech of three hours and seventeen minutes in length to a crowded hall, and only two people left during the entire time. She is woman of 36 years of age, married, and has two children. She was comparatively un- known until the opening of the present campaign. In Kansas and in Kansas alone does possibility exist for woman arising from obscurity and springing forth in three months as a moulder of public opinion, a leader in public action, a power in the public Government.

UNDER THE WHEELS.
An Indian Boy Rolls Under a Car and Los
 es Foot.
Yuma Times.

yuma 11meS.
 Last Wednesday an Indian had an ac- cident on the railroad by which he lost a foot. The switch engine had been across the river for car and the boy got on for ride. He jumped off after the engine had got over the bridge, and that was where he made his mistake. His jump was made on the west side of the track where the space between the hill and the track is very narrow. The boy must have missed his calculations very badly, for he struck the steep track and immediately rolled on the track, the wheels of the passing car going over his right leg above the ankle. He was taken to the hospital at the fort. Dr. Heffernan found on ex- animation that amputation would be nec- essary, and assisted by Drs. Taggart and Cotter. that operation was successfully performed. The doctors are unanimous in their praise of the boys grit while the foot was being taken off He is getting on finely and pr. Heffernan will endeavor to have him furnished with an artificial foot when he gets well enough to wear if

 The board of trade will hold a meeting tomorrow evening to devise means for building wagon road to the Bradshaw mountains They invite every business man in town, and every other one having any property interests here to meet with them. The proposition to be considered is one which is of vital importance to every one residing in Prescott. There is not a man in town so poor but that he afford to render some aid to the enter prise, and not man so rich that he is independent of the benefits to be derived from it. It is hoped then that the meet ing may be largely attended. Action in the matter has already been too long de ferred. The trade of the Bradshaw noun tains properly belongs to Prescott. Most of the men engaged in mining there are more or less identified with our interests in Prescott while this town is the natural base of supplies for the mining camps there. Phenix is spending thousands of dollars, a portion of which is furnished by the P. X M and $. P. railroad to build a road in there, the distance being sixty five miles. For less money, it is claimed, road can be built from Prescott, the length of which will not exceed thirty five miles, and the grade being less than from the other way. Prescott people should be aided in the enterprise by the P. X A. c. railroad, and the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, as it is equally important to them to have the road built, that the thousands of tons of ore and concentrates which are produced there annually may be hauled over their roads to the smelters of Colorado and New Mexico for reduc. ton. A good wagon road to the Brad shaws not only means to secure the en- tire trade of that section, but will also divert this way a portion of the trade of the Tip Top and Humbug districts, which has heretofore all gone to Phenix.

Sound Doctrine.
Las Vegas Stock Grower.

There is no doubt that the lowering of salaries would do something toward re- form in political methods. Under the prevailing methods the successful can didate must often take large portion of his salary to pay his campaign expenses. legitimate or otherwise The salary is divided up among the official and politi- cal workers who secured-or claimed to secure-his nomination and election. Let the salaries then be cut down to the &C., tual amount retained by the official. Let the ward strikers earn their living. The county offices should be in the hands of good business men, and they should be well paid for their services, but the salar- ies should not be expected to furnish their campaign funds besides

Justice Miller was one of your simple great men. One day in the Supreme Court the Justice disputed the assertion made by a lawyer that such and such a thing was in case decided by that bench two years before. The lawyer with tact, said no more about the point; but when, the next day, he was about to take up Justice Miller's objection, the Justice in in good-natured way remarked that the lawyer need not elaborate, for the fact was that the Justice had quite forgotten the case in point when the lawyer had brought it up the day before.

Mining To-day
Phenix Gazette

From the camps and all the mines of our fair territory come the glad and joy ful sounds ofa busy and a mining activity never before witnessed. New mines are being opened up, new machinery is being put in place and new men are taking hold of old properties, heretofore thought to be worthless. Altogether the signs of the times point to an era of great and unpre- cedented prosperity in the very near flu ture. Mining to-day is so much different from a few years ago, and conditions are so much better, that owners and managers are in much better humor, and hence money is being spent in improvements, and in building up the country, that could not be spent under the former conditions of silver-lead mining.

A woman in Nebraska lately wrote the Governor of that State to inquire if there was any premium or bounty for triplets and to mention that if there was she was entitled to it. The Governor was compell- ed to inform her that the State has neglect, ed to encourage census trios. As there are about as many political parties to the square inch in Nebraska this year as the soil will stand, it seems as if some ol them might take up this question of a bounty for triplets.-N. Y.

A Six Foot Vein of Coal has Beer

Tuoson Citizen.

Tucson Citizen.
 Col. Francisco Garcia, of San Marcial, is in the city, and yesterday he received telegram of congratulation from Col. Bel ton, who was officially detailed by the Mexican government to report as to the progress made in the San Marcial coal fielus, Sonora, Mexico. Col. BeIton tele- graphed that 6 foot vein of the finest grade of anthracite coal had been struck at + feet and that they are now at 80 feet in solid seam of anthracite in which they have gone down six feet, without going through. At this point the dia- monds came out of the drill and work will be delayed till repairs can be made.
 This report, coming as it does from this official authority, must be taken as mean ing great deal for this section. It will completely reyolutionize business through the southwest, and by cheapening fuel, add new impetus to our mining indus tries. With the opening of such quality and quantity of fuel it is difficult indeed to foresee how much the country is to be benefited
