IT seems strange that notwithstand- ing the fact that New Mexico has a mine inspector such an explosion. caused through improper workings, could occur as that of last Thursday in Los Cerrillos. It is true, however, as the Albuquerque "Citizen" says. "that a political mine inspector is no good for the miners.''

SEVERAL prominent citizens are con- suming considerable valuable space in this paper, dilatiug upon civic faults, their cause and remedy. The whole thing in a nutshell is that men of the class who write so exhaustively on the subject are not practical. They will spend days and perhaps weeks in in forming the public of the utter worth lessness and teetotal corruption of municipal governments as they now exist, hut when the primaries occur these learned and conscientious gentle men are not in It. They are seemingly afraid of becoming contaminated. The consequence is the caucuses are con trolled by the bum element, poodle delegates are sent to the conventions, scheming politicians are nominated, and corrupt officials are the rusult. Let the legion of treatise writers and takers on reform show that they can act. as we'll as think, and good, pure local self government will become a fact as we'll as theory. So long as | the better class of citizens remain pas. sive and neglect the primaries, the vicious and dishonest contingent will remain dominant in governmental affairs.

DISTANCE TO THE sEABoARp.

From Durango to Cortez, 30 miles; Cortez to Bluff City, 45 miles; Bluff City to Tuba City, no miles; Tuba City to Flagstaff, 90 miles; Flagstaff to Verde, 50 miles; Verde to Phoenix. no miles; Phoenix to Yuma, 175 miles; Yuma to San Diego, 150 miles; q total distance of 760 miles from Durango, Col, to San Diego, Cal. where there is the finest harbor in the world, and the country between these two points abounds in natural re- sources and offers substantially lcv, route for a railroad. From Flagstp f over this route to San Diego it is 485 miles, while it is 544 miles to Los An gelps and S56 miles to San Francisco. At Durango the road would have close connection with Denver and the whole northwest, while to the south it will cross the Atlantic & Pacific and the Southern Pacific railroads and SO fur nish direct communication south, east and west, as well as a short cut to the scaboard.
 It is about 450 miles from Durango to Denver, making total distance from Denver to San Diego. by Flag staff and Phoenix, of about 1900 miles. From Denver to San Diego by the Santa Fe the distance is about l.600 miles, or 300 to 400 miles further than by the Flagstaff cutoff. This will oc- cupv eighteen or twenty hours longer time for passenger trains and three days longer for freight trains il,an by the short line through the Verde val ley, and to this must be added the ex. tri expense of operating 640 miles of railroad. which gives the Flagstaff X Phoenix road decided advantage over any other route.

Over all diseases caused by or arising from impure blood, Hoods Sarsaparilla seems to have almost magical control. Please read the following frank leCtG of Mir. Freeby, voluntarily endorsed by the Postmaster and Druggist of the town, aC. I. Hood & Co.,, Lowell, Mass:

They almost healed up, but soon after, two little specks came, one on each side of the first sore. The doctors said they would not amount to anything, but in a few days they turned out to be more ulcers, and in . short time they had eaten into the original sore and made big wound.

sfINhEh DANIEL W. bhNb, biSiphLlN
It begins to look as IL tho ancient and en-
thusiastic Chicago chiefs annual bluff at
the pennant was this time liable to come
very near TO realization. For five years
the Grand Old Man of tho diamond has
submitted TO the jeers, the shafts of sar-
casm and tho ironical jokes of the Chicago
press and people, but it had as much effect
upon him as boys popgun would have
upon the outside surface Of a rhinoceros.
Uncle Adrian kept talking about "next
year" and ignored the present.
At last the "next year" of his dream has
come, and, after waiting almost as long as
Jacob waited for Rachel, Anse on July
realized tho reward of patience, persever-
ence and confidence. How the flckle popu-
lace fell at his feet One year ago he
played on his own grounds to half empty
stands while those who visited the games
went TO taunt him. On this years natal
day the Chicago rooters tramped upon
each other In their mad endeavors TO get
within sight of tho oonquering hero and
see him and his Colts win double victory
An their march toward tho top. So enor-
nous was the worshipful crowd ut the aft
ernoon game that q police riot call was
sent out in order to get enough constabu-
larry help to clear the field and let the game
be played. In the two games 81, 900 people
saw the Colts double headed victory.
A year ago last May the baseball critics
were united In loud demand for Anson's
withdrawal from the diamond. Now the
same critics are seeing which one of them
all can sing loudest the praises Of the vic
torious chief. II Is another proof of the
truism that nothing succeeds like success
Anson has an advantage which is not of
present use alone. 1t reaches into the fu-
ture. His team is full Of young timber
players who are coming" not going.
With the exception of himself the infield is
made up Of young, growing stars. In tho
outfield no has, in my opinion, the best
fielder, batter and base runner combined
In the Leagne--namely, Lange Behind
the bat he has added two fine young catch
ers. He has a great utility man on the
bench in Decker, and now he Is looking
around for young pitchers. He has been
building from tho ground up, and when
the top IA reached he will have a team
structure which Is Eable 90 last
The same is true OF the Baltimore club
AL the old timber, Robinson excepted
has been replaced by Hanlon with young
players. The result is team which inn
proves and grows stronger year by year as

The New York Athletic club has long
ranked as one of tho leading athletic clubs
of America. The best known athletes that
this country has produced during the past
decade have worn the clubs emblem, the
Mercury foot, and IL has several times sent
teams Of athletes abroad to contest with
the best men on the other side. Through
Its enterprise, too, the picked men OF the
London Athletic club will visit America
I'm September aNl on the 2lst of that
month will struggle for supremacy with
team representing tho N. Y. A. @. As tho
London A. G. has tho best men in tho
United Kingdom, and rs the N. Y. A G.
will bo represented by most of the greatest
amateur athletes in tho United States, tho
contest will be an international affair that
will attract widespread attention on both
sides OF the Atlantic.
For many years the N. Y. A. g. has pos
sessed a palntial clubhouse near Central
park, New York, but IL has at last become
dissatisfied with its presont quarters and
will In the near future erect new homo
at a cost of $500, 900. The clubhouse will
be white building sight stories high, sur
mounted by covered roof garden. IL Is
In the Moorish style Of arcOtecturo, and

Is one Of It's most striking features. This
