 District Attorney Cox brings back encouraging news from his recent visit to the coast. He met many people at Santa Monica. in Los An geles, Pasadena, San Bernardino and other cities. Among them were ma nv visitors who had heard of the projected new railroad from Prescott to Phenix, and the A. X P. line. They were confident it would be speedily built and result in great business and real estate activity throughout all the country tributary to this new line. Furthermore. they were all anxious to share in some of that prosperity themselves, and only awaited the actual commencement of construction to hasten over to Arizona and secure the best bargains and openings obtainable.
 The best proof, however, that the trade was an assured certainty is the fact that the we'll known railroad contractors, Grant Brothers state that, as soon as they completed some work on the Los Angeles Ter minal, they proposed to move their entire outfit over to this territory and begin construction on the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phenix line in earnest.
 This firm has long been connected with the Santa Fe line and has done an immense amount of railroad building for t They expect to be ready for operation about October l. This, of course, will not interfere with other operations that have been arranged for an earlier date Phenix Herald.

The New York Herald has taken n

The New York Herald has taken a new departure which will create more or less surprise in journalistic circles. It places at the head of the first column on its editorial page the names of the proprietor, the general manager, the city editor and the night editor. It is stated that this step was ordered by the proprietor in recognition of faithful and profit able services rendered to him and the paper. 1t is also stated it is but the precursor of other innovations such as the signing of any particu larly good article by the writer. It is saNi that Mir. Bennett expects that such encouragement will be an in- ducement for his men to do better work. The policy of the Herald has been so conspicuously impersonal that the deviation from a rule which was established by its founder is re- garded almost in the light of a sen sation.-Ex.

In the same May drawing, which was
so fortunate for Spreckels Brothers en-

Among the winners OF small prizes

sPRErKELs BROS LUCK.

The great commercial and shipping

renowned for it's success, in which good

as shrewd business tact. Judging by
xecent event it would seem that that
FIRMS good luck has become infectious
amocg its employees, especially those
whieE ere connected with the fine line
of towboats controlled and operated by
the firm. In the May drawing of the Lit
tie Louisiana Company of San Francisco
rich prizes were drawn by two engineers
employed on these boats. w. H. O'Don-
nell. chief engineer of the tugboat Alert,
and who resides at l20616 Polk street. in

capital prize, amounting to $4,000.
James E. Drlscoll, chief engineer of the
tugboat Vigilant, who resides at l25
Nineteenth street. this city, drew one
half OF the second capital prize, amount
inc to $2500. The singular thing
ahout this good fortune is that
one agent sold both tickets to
the lucky parties, and that they
should both be chief engineers on boats
owned by one firm. Messrs. O'Donnell
and Driscoll promptly received their
snoney from the Original Little Louisiana
company. They are naturally elated at
their good luck, but have not yet shown

Exhaustion of silver M,n.s

1t is worth noting in view of the silver
discussion that by the modern and espe-
cially the American system of mining, the
richest mines are most rapidly exhausted
1t is in them that capital can afford to con-
centrate the most expensive and effective
machinery, and the costly plant once
placed, the more rapid the extraction and
reduction of ore the greater is the econ
omy. 1t seems but yesterday that the
Comstock and its combinations made
Nevada the greatest silver region in the
world. but now one rarely hears of the
Comstock, and in the last decade Nevada
lost heavily in population The silver
mines of Colorado develop for the most
part slowly, which is not so good for in
vestors, but is far better for the building
of permanent community.

The Sagacious Fox.

Fortunately for sportsmen the fox is
neither large nor strong, and, knowing his
weakness, will always sooner run than
fight with even the smallest dog. A proof
of his sagacity is shown in the fact that no
animal is so difficult to entrap. This is
partly due to his very keen scent. 1t is
natural for trapper to handle the trap and
bait with his hands, and the smell of hu-
man contact is all the fox wants to warn
him of danger, and away he goes.

Grants Monument-Etc.,E Etc.

At the Union League club meeting
In New York Chauncey M. Depew, its
president, spoke thus OF Sherman:
He was the one man of the distin-
guished statesmen and soldiers pro-
duced by our civil war who had
genius, the genius Of originality. 1t
nearly destroyed his career at one
time, while It made 1t at another. He
was pronounced visionary enthusi-
asst when he said that 1t would take
200, 900 men to hold the border States,
and some went SO far as to officially
pronounce him a lunatic. When he
grasped the real weakness OF the
Confederacy and marched from At
lanta to the sea he became hero.
Nearly all great men hedge themselves
about with stage dignity and are al
ways posing for effect, but Sherman
was the one eminent man who could
be simply Sherman and not detract
anything from his reputation or dig
nifty. One story which Gen. Sherman
told me gives the inside history OF the
famous march to the sea. Sherman
Huu bcou i1portuhibS Nou' oiohI
President Lincoln and the War de-
partment every day for permission to
cut loose from his base Of supplies and
march through the country from At
lanta to the sea-coast. Stanton
thought he was foolish, Lincoln was
afraid he'd lose his army, and while
General Grant in the main agreed
with the plan. there were staff infiu-
ences around him that were hostile to
it's execution. One day Sherman re-
ceived telegram from Lincoln say
ing that he might use his discretion.
He instantly ordered one OF his staff
to take detachment and tear down
the wires for fifty miles between At
lanta and Washington. This circum-
stance he never told publicly, but he
said that when Gen. Grants book was
published he was interested in II state
ment 1t contained to the effect that
Gen. Rawlins went to Washington to
cQuntermand the order permitting
Sherman to march to the sea, but he
found that 'the rebels had cut the
wires.'"
