win Let Contract When Survey Is
 Complete

The completion of the new rail- road between Phenix and Prescott at the earliest possible date is now an assured fact, says Chief Engineer N. k. Gibson to a reporter of The Republican yesterday morning as he was waiting for the morning train to start for Maricopa. The reason the entire contract has not been let is that the survey is not yet completed, and they are undecided as to the route from the Agus Fria to the Congress mine, but from there to Prescott the route has been fully established and con tains some heavy work.
 There will be three large tunnels, the longest being HOO feet. The grade, however, is only two per cent grade, and will, when com pleted. be an easy haul.
 Between Agua Fria and the Con- gress the route via Wickenburg is about fifteen miles the shorter, but the grade is a little sleeper and the cost of construction would bs much moro per mile, but this would prob ably be counterbaleneed by the saving in distance. The contract will be let, however, as soon as the route is decided, and the doubting Thomases will be convinced.-Re- publican.

STRIKE ON THE A. S r.
Telegraph Operators All Along tho
 Railroad Out.

Information reached Prescott last evening that all operators along the Atlantic < Pacific and Santa Fe routes belonging to the Brother hood of Railway telegraphers would last night at l2 o'clock go on . gen. eral strike. Their grievance, so it is stated, does not lie in any bond ot sympathy with Southern Pacific operators, but in we'll considered proposition made some time ago for better pay than they are at present receiving. An advance from S15 to $s5 per month was the demand. and with less hours of service, both of which propositions were rejectoS. At Prescott Junction it was also current talk among attaches of the railroad, that if the telegraphers went out, the several engineers and conductors of the road would abso- lutely refuse to run their trains on card time, and that general strike ia consequence would result. The plan is we'll laid one, and We are informed has only been decided on after months of earnest and pa tient waiting.

They, however, feel they arc old enough to begin housekeep- ing for themselves.-Phenix Repub- lican.

Major Clay, of San Fran cisco, owning the Desert and Socorro lodes, after sinking 2So feet on the former by hand, has concluded to erect an effective hoist and go on down. He he leased the old Har- risburg mill. November's clean up, by the way, in Hubbard X Bowers Bonanza mill fooled 'em. They es- timated it at S30,60o, but the anal gam proved to be harder than usual and ran the output up to S5,000. Mistakes like this will sometimes happen to the best regu- lated mines.-Herald.
