Still Another Railroad.


 monster railroad enterprise, which, if carried out, will be of vast import ance to Arizona, to Salt River Val ley and to Phenix, and will open up gold and silver mines, the rich ness of which probably never have been equaled. Those who are con- versant with the topography of the inter-mountain region-from the Sierra Nevada to the Rocky noun tains-know that the country abounds in mineral wealth from the British possessions to the Gulf of Mexico.
 Our information sthat a proposi- tion is being considered by syndi- cate of capitalists to build, by anal gamation and the assistance of subsidies and grants, a through line from Ogden and Salt Lake into the interior of Mexico.
 From Ogden to Salt Lake and south the scheme is to obtain the property of the Utah Central to Maut. From this point the proposed road takes a southeasterly course to Mormon Fort. on the Colorado river, thence down the Colorado valley to the junction of the Little Colorado, and up that valley-still in a southeasterly course-to apoint some miles northeast of Flagstaff, where the road leaves the river and runs across the desert 10 the latter town.
 From Flagstaff the amalgama- tion process will probably be again adapted by the acquisition of the Mineral Belt railroad, now running some distance south from there :; thence building through Clear Greek Canyon, down Fassitt creek to it's junction with the Verde and down that valley to Phenix.
 From this city the road is to run south into Mexico, probably into Guaymas.
 There haslong been a demand for a road from the south to the north in the intermountain region such as the one proposed and such an enterprise would not only open up an avenue for transportation, now badly needed, but it would be the means of developing and making paying property of silver and gold mines that cannot be worked on account of their isolation.
 From Ogden to the north through Butte, Anaconda, Helena and other famous mining centers of Montana runs the Utah Northern, operated by the Utah Southern Company, and with the building, or really con- tinuation, of the proposed line south into Mexico, the Butte and Anacon- da smelters, the latter of which IS the largest in the world, would handle all the Mexican ore now shipped to Kansas City and Denver for treatment.
 Our information is that the com pany propose to work quietly until they obtain concessions they desire and then push the work to compile ton.
 The route has been covered by lookout party, and we understand preliminary work will be begun by a company of expert engineers in a short time.
 Subsidies will probably be asked from cities and counties through which the road will pass, and val uable grants are expected from the Mexican government.
 The progress of this new scheme will be watched with a great deal of interest by citizens of Arizona, az it will prove of inestimable value to the entire southwest, and will certainly make Phenix a great city. -Phenix Republican.

Assistant Attorney S. T. Thomas today for
warded TO the Commissioners his reply to a
communication from Maj. Moore in regard to
an alteration between two youths in a pool
room on the 22d of February last, resulting
in the death of one Of them, which was sent to
him for his views as to the Commissioners
power TO make police regulations fixing the
time for closing pool rooms and prohibiting
minors from patronizing such places.
Mr. Thomas says that under the recent legis-
lation authorizing the Commissioners to make
police regulations they have right to close
pool rooms at any hour they see fit, but he does
not believe they have the police control OF
minors, except. perhaps. in the case OF such as
have no parents or guardians to look after
them. regulation prohibiting minors from
patronizing pool rooms, he says. would be un-
reasonable and unconstitutional as infringing
the right Of personal liberty and as interfering
with parental control. The protection OF
minors from saloon influences. SO far as the
public Is concerned, must lie thinks, be accom-
plished by regulating the saloon and pool room
so as to prevent. as far reasonable and proper

The Commissioners today forwarded to the
District committees of both houses OF Con-
gress the petitions and other papers concerning
the widening of q street northwest between

from the rest. and in view of that they have
divided the street into three sections. from 5th
