NOGALEs-oRo BLANCO ROAD.
It Will be Built for s5OOO-Very
Cheap Labor.

The Nogales-Oro Blanco road is CON-
ing forward rapidly. Three miles of
mountain are yet to be overcome. The
steepest grade, says Supervisor G. A.
Avery, in from No9ales, is eight feet to
the hundred, and most Of it is five feet
to the hundred.
The toughest work on the road is
done, being a mile near Moons camp.
There for a whole mile the road had to
be blasted through.
The work is being done very cheaply.
Wages are 81 day Mexican money, the
same as so cents American.
Five bridges were built for SO each
Mexican, or S. American. The timber
was cut from the mountains, and hewn
out by the labor there. It vas strong
ly laid and covered with brush, the
brush with fiat stones, and to top it of
two feet of packed dirt were pat on.
Merchants of Nogales contributed
goods, and a store carrying provisions,
drugs and dry goods was put at the
camp. There the Mexlcans and Indians
working buy, and profit of 30 per cent
UT so is realized, further reducing the
cost OF the road, making it about IS
cents day, American. The Yaqui In
dams save fifty cents of their dollar
day. The Mexicans, however, expend it
all as they go. Drill men on the road
get 81 .25 day.
Although the wages are 80 small the
Mexicans were delighted to do it for the
figures named. Wren work was start
ed most of the laborers bad to supply
their families food before they could go
ahead. They had grand rejoicing for
two or three days over the prospect Of
work.
1t is now thought the road can be
built for S5O00.- The original estimate
was $500. The road so far as finished
is wide and smooth. A cutoff of five
miles was made at the Potrsro ranch
below Calabasas. On the 90 Blanco
end the old read from the Montana
mine will be utilized by being widensd
and leveled.
The three miles to be finished will
take several weeks Of hard work.

under the senate amendments to the

men who raise wool must compete on 6

IT has been plainly demonstrated that
citizen soldiery are practically valueless
for the suppression of local dlsor-
ders. This is duty that should rot be
exacted from them. Blood is thicker

the dispensary riots Of South Carolina
or in the labor troubles of California
Under the laxlty of the militia organiza.
ton the most that can be expected from
them is parade on gala days, and an oc'
casional mount at guard duty. They
were not organized for the purpose Of
massacreing their own kith and kin with
whom they mpsthize in their troubles
and it should not be expected from
them. Had they fired on the strikers
when directed their very act would
have Mortified the whole country and
would have met with almost universal
condemnation. The shortest way out oil
the woods, under the circumstances, was
for the boys to skip for their armory and
judging by dispatches they lost no time
in getting there.

party has wrought since it came into
power. A recent issue of the New York
Herald stated the case in one sense in
the following vigorous English:
The vast army OF men thrown out of
employment by the closing OF mills and
factories and by the decreased working
force of the railroads has impoverished q
large portion of the working population
and the general reduction of wages has
curtailed the purchasing and consum-
ing power of those that are still at work.
In like manner the low prices of agricul-
tural products have reduced the ability
of the largest class in the country to
consume manufactured goods. The
general stagnation is Of course intensiti-
ed by the coal strike, with Its myriad
idle miners and the forced suspension OF
mills for lack of fuel. Under such con-
ditions even an immediate settlement OF
the tariff could not be followed by a
boom, for the people will have to prac-
tice rigid economy for a long time to
come, but it would remove the chief
cause OF the depression, and men, know
ing what they had to count on, would
be free to resume operations

and are hopeful of ultimate success.
Up to 6 o'clock this evening no attempt
bad been made to move mail trains.
Crowds or strikers are in the vicinity

OF thwartlng any attempt to get train
out. Marshal Long and his deputies
are still here and appear determined to
carry out the instructions of United

The company would have attempted
to move trains this morning but could

track and switches wrought by strikers
or their sympathizers. AS result of
the strike, business is stagnated in this

The improvement in business has
