 Arizona Tnnglefoot.
 A number of distinguished passen- gers on tho westbound train that was sidetracked here for q few hours Tues day strolled into the office of the great est weekly paper in the southwest. They were registered as follows: Gen. W. L. Barnum, of Chicago, who is a prominent banker and insurance man in the City of Wind and steeplechase buildings; E. Everman. of Lancashire, Pa.; J. T. Dougine, mining expert, of Chicago; David Dewey, vice-president of the Bankers National, of Chicago; E. S. Norton, of Norton Bros, sheet iron manufacturers, Chicago; Manager Topan, superintendent of the western branch of the Standard Oil company; A. Ashton. of Rockford, Ill.,; Col. Will liam g. Frost, of Baltimore; MT. and Mrs. A. J. Sterling, of Leadville, Col.
 Several of the gentlemen, including Gen. Barnum and Messrs Dougine and Everman, were en route to Kingman, which town will be their headquarters during the examination of some min ing properties northwest of that place. Gen. Barnum is the owner of the Bun ker Hill mine. near Tombstone, and is interested in several other valuable mines, while Mir. Dougine, who is rec ognized as mining expert of superior ability, was judge of the department of mines and mining at the Columbian ex- position.
 Time didn't seem to hang heavy on the hands of the Chicago contingent, which was composed of as jolly party of young-old men as one would meet in years travel. MT. Dougine, the humorist of the company, apparently manages to extract fair measure of enjoyment from this transtory exist ence. He is type of funny old man whose smile is contagious and whose constant flow of wit is calculated to create consternation in gathering of hypochondriacs.
 '.This is a charming section of coun- try" he remerked. "but your wind is not in it with our wind. Upon my re- turn east shall use my best endeavor to correct the prevailing impression in | ,.l t,, Ia Lind Af ,ul,tSl,x- SnII in Arizona. After taking two drinks with out any distressing results 1 feel that 1 can conscientiously recommend it to sufferers from insomnia. Why, the Arizona tanglefoot isn't marker to the stuff that daily brings uufortu- mates into the police courts of Chicago. I am a pretty good judge of bad whisky and think l know what I'm talking about.
 Strange what queer people we meet on railroads when we don't hap pen to have a weapon of defense, isn't it? See that dainty looking young flop walking down the Place de RailIoad? I'm afraid l shall have to kill him be- fore we get off the train. Down the road apiece he displayed murderous. looking revolver which he told us in whispers he had brought along for the especial entertainment of train rob bers. and he seemed in momentary ex. pectation of an attack of masked bandits. The darned galoot would be the first one to duck under seat, give up his money and beg for his life, and l told him SO.
 i've haven't been able to find a democrat on the whole train. If there are any they're ashamed to confess their weakness. This is the congress sional car, and this room is the senate chamber. Here the financial question has been settled, each day during our journey, to the satisfaction of every one, although the views of the eight senators are sometimes widely diverg ent. We assemble at 10 a. m. and ad- journ at II p. m., and the prevailing sentiment is for free silver"
 Col. Frost, who was accompanied by his accomplished daughter, intends to locate at Los Angeles. He is of distinguished, soldierly bearing and very prominent in c. A. R. circles, be- ing on the staff of the commander-in- chief. Gen. Barnum, together with Gen. o. L. Mann and John s. Smith, wrote the first charter of the C. A. R. at Chicago in 1865.
