 Sixty Millions.

TOPEKA, Dec 10-Th:s afternoon Special Master in Chancery J. B. Johnson announced that he would offer the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail road for sale.
 Johnson said that owing to the fact that the railroad company could not pay one hundred and forty millions within twenty days last fall, the United States court had issued a decree order ing the sale of the property. He then read the lengthy decision.
 After numerous objections had been raised by the attorneys for the Chi cago, Santa Fe and California bond holders, the road was finally sold to Edward King, representing the new company, for sixty millions. He was the only bidder.

A College Suspends.

Sat a meeting Of the faculty Of the
Willamette medical college of Port
land, 1t was desided to suspend until
further notice, The suspension by the
Inability to secure hospital privileges,
thus rendering the faculty unable to
give the students any clinical instruc.
ton. Some time ago the Portland
hospital, on whose staff many Of the
faculty of the medical college were,
passed into the hands Of homeopaths.
The faculty of the medical department
Of the Willamette University then
tried TO effect consolidation with the
medical department Of the state uni
versity, which has privileges Of the
st. Vincent's and Good Samaritan
hospitals. They were unable to do
this and were compelled OF necessity
to suspend, as they could not hope to
compete with its hospital facilities. By
some it is feared the college will never
resume again" MI. Denny, one Of
the students, came home Sunday on
visit to his parents, and stated that
he, with five Others, were going to

so DESIRE TO HtuAss IKE RAILROAD

From ,hs Graham County Bulletin
 The Bulletin was surprised to see in the PhUuix papers that District At. torney Jones, of this county, had asked the Territorial Board of Equalization to place the Gila Valley, Globe 6 Northern railroad on the assessment roll. According to a law passed by the Sixteenth Legislature this road is ex- empted from taxation for a period of ten years The action of the District Attorney is surprising, because this question has never been raised in Ora ham county or publicly discussed, and -Mr. Jones certainly has no evidence of any desire on the part of our people for such action The bill exemptine railroads from taxation for period of ten years was passed at the request of the Eesyiest taxpayers and a large nun Der of citizens of Graham county, and we don't believe they would now sane fion any attempt of the District At. tornsy to harrass or nag at the rail road. Mir, Jones stated that it wns his desire to test the validity of the ex- emPtion lhR This same law was tested last year before Chief Justice Baker, who declared it valid. The District Attorney of Yayapai county then asked the Territorial Board of Equalization to place the Santa Fe, Prescott 4 Phoenix road on the as. sessment roll. The Board cited the exemption law and refused. He went before Judge Baker and asked for a writ of mandamus to compel the as- sessment of tho railroad, but the writ vas denied by the court. In view of thts, the present action of our District Attorney is hard to understand.

Public Opinion, which mirrors the views of all parties as expressed through their party organs, commenting on the action of recent State Democratic con yentious, says
 "The silver question has been upper most in all the discussion, considered, however, rather with reference to it's bearing on the outcome of party pol itics than on it's own merits. The Mis-, sippi convention was given compara- lively little prominence, and that of Texas was nearly ignored, but the other two were the scenes of such fierce fac- tional contention, and the results seemed to be 80 far reaching in their effect, that much significance has been attached to them, In Iowa tue result does not seem to be such a marked victory for "sound money" Gs some partisan organs would make it appear. The opposition was apparently strong and there is an indication that the fight will be continued during the cam. paign, A very large proportion of the "sound money" papers of the East and North proclaim that the ''silyer craze" is fast dying out, The reader must decide for himself what it really means when three out of four Democratic conventions in one week take 9 decided stand for free silver coinage, while the other is coutent to adhere to declar- ation which nearly etery one admits Co be capable of several opposing inter pretatious.

The Globe Silver Belt has long en- joyed a reputation throughout the Ter ritory for reliability. It IS essentially not boom paper. In its last issue it corrects an impression which had got ten abroad that things were beginning to hum at Globe and that the only drawback was scarcity of workmen, The Silver Belt says this is not SO; Globe is fairly prosperous. The min ing outlook is bright, but at present no more help is needed II is worth something to a newspaper to have a name for always telling the truth, and such a newspaper is worth something to it's community Arizona Star.

THE MINERAL niREEt .
CAUSES or MINING FAuEREs.

It is undoubtedly true that more than one-half the failures of mining enterprises m the West have been due Co the misconcepton and ignorance of mining as business upon the part of owners or stockholders controlling and directing the operation of the mines, It seems 8 hopeless task to endeayor to eradicate from the minds of Eastern people the false impression which majority of them have of mining for the precious metals Gold mines are to them (and silver mines were form erly) like Monte .Cristo's cave, where untold wealth is hidden, to be revealed by little preliminary work; the pay ment of dividends is to begin almost immediately, and the price of stock take an upward shoot that will make the fortunate possessor of few hun- dred shares, who went in on the ground floor, a capitalist,
 This belief has bsen encouraged, We are sorry to say, by unprincipled men knowing the difficulties and uncertain ties of mining, to subserve their own sordid ends Newspapers in the min jug regions have also been instrumental in promoting this deception by i'm moderate praise of mines and pros poets, with the laudable intention of benefttiug the district, but it is mis- taken policy, for the sale of claim made upon such misrepresentation al most invariably results in injury to the district. The expectations of the pur- chasers are not realized, and they be- come unrsAsonably preiudiced against the district and influence others who might, otherwise, engage in mining to their own profit and the benefit of the locality,
 There is much truth in the saying that, "mines are made, not found. The history of many of the great mines in this country reveals the fact that money and work were largely expended upon them before they became pro- ductiYe.
 The same methods necessary to sue, cess in mercantile pursuits must be ap- piled to mining to make success req sonably sure and where intelligent and honest management has been faith fully adhered to, the proportion oi failures in mining has been no greater than in other kinds of business,
 There is no district in Arizona, per haps, that can show more promising prospects of copper, silver and gold than Globe, and what We greatly need is to have parties with capital take hold of claims here, and by intelligent anC persevering work, determine their value We have confidence enough in tht mineral wealth of this district to believe that the result would be highly satisfac tory.

PRESERVING rne KEYS.
Tlrne-uonored Ceremony stiil Observed
 by Che AutboritieB of Edinburgh.

Time Honored Ceremony san OhGerved
 by Che Authoritieg of Edinburgh.
 Annually as the lord high coinmi5' sioner goes to Holyrood Edinburgh, to attend, in the namc of the quoen, the general assembly of the Church of Scotlnnd, the lord provost, aecom- panied by some of the magistrates, re. pairs Co thc palace and goes through the ancient, timc-honorcd ceremony of presenting to him the keys of the city, and he at once returns them to the chief magistrate us the one best fitted to retain them in custody.
 But one trembles, says the Chicago Chronicle, to think what might happen if the lord high commissioner, sudden ly developing love of keys such us led to the updoing of poor Fatima, should retain those which the lord provost presents, and ask to be taken forth with to the gates of the city that he might satisfy himself as to ita security. He would learn to his horror, that there are no city gates, no locks, or bolts, or bars, or meats, OF draw bridges, and that the invader may march right on to the castle without any such form of impeachment.
 Much that is old and interesting there is in Edinburgh, but the city gates are no more.
