Railroad? |?

MT. George Barrot, president of the bank of Tombstone, came up from Guaymas last night and will remain over in Tombstone for day or two. Mir. Barrot is an enthusiastic railroad man and will make proposition to the citizens of Tombstone before leav- ing. which will, if they want railroad, be acceptable to them.
 A number of citizens have expressed desire to meet Mir. Barrot tonight and it is probable that public meet ing will be held tomorrow night at which the proposition will be explain ed and subscription book for stock be opened. All the necessary money will be put up in San Francisco, with the exception of about $25, 1000. That the road will pay from the start, is plain to anyone who will take the trouble to look at the matter in fair light.
 The road will be a broad gauge, with rails the same weight as the Bis bee road and ties much heavier. Cur mining men are taking a deepinterest in the enterprise, and thousands oi tons of ore now above ground uill pay handsome profit could it he handled at $2 less per ton thah now. ThOus ands of tons of ma ngaLese ore now below ground will be taken out and shipped when it can be dumped at the mine into car and sent direct to the smelter, but these figures will be given at future time in q conpac, form and would be snperiluOus here In the meantime ake up your mind how much stock you will take in the enterprise, ii it can be shown to your satisfaction, that the direct profit on the stock will be good proportion of the indirect benefit it will do you in your present business ventures to have railroad communication with the outsiae world with a standard gauge

"For Heavens sake go into some canyon and kick your shadow o, the clay tank, and thus give the men who are working to build up the town a chance.

Rio (srun m de Extension [.

The extension of the Rio Grande R K to the Pacific coast is agitating tn. people connected with that company the Denver Republican in advocating the extension in the interest of Den- yer as 4 point for reduction of ores says:
 "The best mineral region of New Mexico is that which lies west of the Rio Grande valley, and south of the Atlantic and Pacific railway. Thi. n ineral region extends westward into Arizona and embraces the southeast ern part of that territory. The proper course for an extension of the Ri, Grande south of Albuquerque would be into southwestern New Mexico an. southeastern Arizona. A branch t. White Oaks would be expedient; bul that is not the proper course for the main line.
 Possibly, in view of what has inst been said, it would be we'll for th' Albuquerque convention to consi Ter an extension of the Denver and Ri Grande in southwesterly direction, 50 as to tap the mineral region just referred to. Full information shoul. be ob aimed concerning the mineral resources of that part o: the territory in order that the Denver & Rio Grand, people might be informed in regard to the probable traffic which such an extension of their road might secure"

Tho Extinct Buffalo.

Fargo Republican: Not content in
killing the buffalo for his fur, the avar-
acious man now picks up the dry. bones
as they are found over the state and he
sells them to Eastern manufacturers.
Only few years ago these animals
numbered millions. Now there may
be fifty within this state. A few fig
regarding the bones of the animals
slaughtered during the past few years
will show in what numbers they exist
ed. Where the buffalo flourished there
his cousin the domesticated cow, will
thrive. and sheep and horses will do es-
pecially we'll on the nutritious heritage
that enticed the bison from the south
and central plains. From the single
station of Minot there were shipped in
1886, of buffalo bones, 221 tons; in 1889,
900 tons; in 1890, 2,775 tons and there
have been shipped this years and are
ready for shipment at that one station,
2, 400 tons. Col. Lounsberry estimates
that these bone represent 1853, 200 ami
mails, and that these shipments do not
represent over one-thirtieth of the en-
tire amount of buffalo bones that have
been bleached on the sunny surface OF
North Dakota-bones that were once
the framework Of 100000 buffaloes.

JOHNNY GETS HIS GUN
Whirls His Queue Savagely and Goes
for tho Christian Venison.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 30.-The anti-for-
eign movement continues in the Hun
an province. Among the rebel chiefs
are many of the Viceroy's magistrates
and generals. The government seems
or is, unable to prevent the spread of
the uprising and it's propaganda against
foreigners. The following Is the sub
stance of an important document that
has been displayed Oh the walls every
where:-
INsURRECTIONARY PROCLAMATION.
1--WE, the inhabitants, who are desi-
rous Of preventing the violation of our
country, let us prepare a plan of de-
Tense so that every district may take up
arms and assemble it's forces. Every
great district should furnish 10000
men; every lesser district 5000; every
small district 10000. Let US chase
from the province the devil-mouthed
European pigs, having the power. mon
ey and men, and being brave, let us de-
stroy the enemy.
1t will be much better to burn their
dwellings, churches and mission build
ings than to confiscate them for the
purpose of increasing the revenues. We
will extinguish fires dangerous to Chi
mise buildings. Let us stamp out the
cutie of Jesus, the heavenly pig. Let
US punish the converted Chinese, the
traitors. Let us Danish the families OF
the guilty on the ships of the American
fleet. Germany comes flying to ou1
aid"
The Province of Human, where, &C,
cording to the above dispatch, foreign
ers are in imminent danger, is one Of
the most, if not the most turbulent in
China. Thence come the best fighting
men of the Chinese army, indeed, the
Huanese form the backbone of Their
army. 1t is self-contained province
eighty thousand square miles in area
with population Of twenty millions
1t is wealthy province and the people
in general are strong and well made
and have decidedly comfortable ap'
pearance. A large number of the higt
officials of the empire are drawn from
that province.

F. e. b. Mercer on Sheep.

There was considerable commotion
in the corral last Saturday. Frank
Mercer, of Langdon, was buying sheep
from the flock which John Marshall is
selling for E. Ashley Mears. We had
heard that Frank had been very sue
eessful with his sheep this season, and
so took this opportunity of asking him
a few questions about his ideas on this
branch of farming.
"When did I buy my sheep? Last
fall, so you see I have had one Landing
and one wool clip. I bought 300 from
Marshall and have kept them on my
farm south of Langdon. The clip? I
should compute that it averaged a dol
lar and quarter per Sheep"
stDo you find that the wool gets very
dirty in this country?"
ssNo, the sheep in the east are of the
long wooded species;these which have
are of the shorter kind, and dirt does
not get into the wool SO much. Fol
