MADE GOOD TIME.
The Speed at Which Engineer Elliott Pulled the sunday Special
 to Phenix.

Engineer Harry Elliott, with en- zine number eight of the :. F. r. X r. railroad, broke all previous rec ords on the road on Sunday morn tug in pulling the special train from Ash Fork to PheniX. From the time of leaving Ash Fork to that of pull ing up al the Phenix depot, it was just hours and 42 minutes. This included a stop of seven minutes at Prescott, thirteen at Congress and five at WickenburE, which reduces the actual running time to , hours aud : minutes. The distance Is l96 miles, and when it Is taken into consideration that over thirty miles of this Is over mountains, and neces- sanly very crooked and heavy grade, the ruu Is quite a remarkable one and affords q good illustration of the excellent condition of the road bed to permit of such good time. From Nulture Siding to Agua Fria tank, distance of twenty five miles, the run was made in exactly twenty five minutes, or mile a minute. Mir. Elliott in speaking of the trip stated that fl any one had spoken to him year ago about getting a speed of a mile a minute out of the engines on the road he would have laughed incredulously at him.
 While being one of the most care ful engineers on the road, when oc- casIou requires it Harry will get all the speed out of an engine that there Is in it, and will pull a train as fast as it's occupants want to ride on 1t. There are few roads in the west in condition to permit of such speed over them as was made by this special on Sunday.

Not Pre-. Historic.

A Mexican, a few days ago, while searching for a horse, in the Santa Catalina mountains accidently came on to an old trail which had evi- dently been constructed by human beings. Out of curiosity he fol- followed it up and at the end found a tunnel some thirty feet deep, at the mouth ofwhich were some picks, shovels, etc, and quantity of gold bearing quartz. It was evident that the tools were old and had not been used for years as the handles were moss covered and rotten.-Tucson Citizen.

The bill ProTiding for leasing school lands of Arizona for oducs- tIonal purposes Is now a law. The governor and secretary of the terri tory aud the superintendent of pub lie instruction are entrusted with the business of making these leases, that the school fund of Arizona may b. enhanced. Let them do their work honestly and faithfully tD the people of Arizona, and at the same time let them protect all legal rights which settlers on these lauds may possess. The bill, although it has been bitterly opposed iu certain quarters m the territory, is, we be
 lieve, good one, and time will demonstrate the correctness of this opinion. As it stands today, it is Do better, and probably no worse. than the original bill, which was vetoed by the president. The only difference between the two meas
 ures of any special importance, is the fact that the law itself now con
 tains certain sale guards, which un- der the former bill were provided for by the regulations of the Interior De partment. The incorporation of these safe guards into the bill, had the effect of silencing opposition to it on that grounds, by persons who were opposed to it on general princi- pies and simply used that as an

How many are able to say that the

Cleveiand's administration have all
been met when presented and the
diminution Of the gold reserve is not
an indication of lack Of resources;
as the ability to meet expenses, and
keeping the reserve Of gold intact are
two widely different things.
And, too, rs a business proposition,
why attempt to keep gold reserve
when the law (lS7Sl prohibits the re-
tirement of the very paper the reserve
is intended to pay

Doubtless the Democrats ought to
have passed tariff reduction measure
that would more nearly conform to
the principles of commercial freedom
than does the present law. But, how
ever poor II job the last Democratic
congress made In reducing the tariff,
the present Republican congress made
very much worse attempt In trying
to restore some of the old protective
rates of import duties. The tariff
question should not cut much Of Il
figure in the politics of this year,
But II debasement of the currency is
threatened, through free silver legisla-
ton, and the currency question ought

The Ohio Republicans, In their state
platform, have straddled the currency
question. The Ohio idea Of 1896, 1t
seems, Is to nominate Mckinley, make
u great deal of noise over the tariff
question, and prate about sound mon
ey In IA manner that will satisfy both
the silver people and those who favor
gold standard. If this idea shall
prevail In the Republican national CON
vention, the Democrats will have u
glorious opportunity to win u splendid
victory, They should nnequivocally
declare against n debasement of the
currency by any more protective legls-
lation; and Democracy may win a
great and complete victory for honest
sound money.

NEW FACTORY COMING.
The SaIamander Fireproof Paint Manu-
featuring Company Proposes to
Locate in This CITY.

II. a. Reimann, representing the
Salamender Fireproof Paint Manufacture
ing Company OF Tacoma, Wash, is in this
City. He states that the company has de-
cided to make San Francisco its head
quarters as manufacturing and supply
center.
According to Mr.. Reimann the paint is
something new, is composed of purely
mineral and vegetable substances and is
pronounced by experts TO be absolutely
non-com bustible, while at the same time
partaking of all the properties of an oil
paint. He promises that it will become
valuable for use in and about saw,
shingle and lumber mills, factories.
warehouses and wherever the danger from
fire is unusually great and insurance rates
are high. He says it is also in practical
use as q cheap and efficient covering for
steam pipes.
In an interview Mr.. Reimann said:
THE Pacific Coast presents an excellent
held for the manufacture anG sale of this
new product, owing to the minerals be-
ing found in quantities in this State At
the start the factory will employ from
twenty to thirty hands and will represe mt
an investment of $4,000. The capacity of
the plant will be increased as the demand
grows"
With Mr.. Reimann, who is engaged in
placing orders for future delivery, is W. H.
Kelley, who is looking out for the neces
sary machinery and site for the plant.
He will take charge of the factory when in
operation.

two steamers on the route. When the
Willamette Valley sailed last month on
her regular roundtrip there was far more
cargo offering than she could carry so the
Coos Bay had TO be placed in commission
in order to carry the surplus. This month
the same thing has been repeated, and the
Coos Bayis now being hurried back to take
TO Guaymas the merchandise the William
cite Valley will be unable to handle on this
occasion.
There is a great deal behind this simple
statement of facts. The rush of freight by
steamer by the way of Guaymas means an
other attempt on the part of the merchants
of this City to get out of the thralldom OF
the Southern Pacific. Great quantities OF
goods for points in Arizona are now being
shipped by the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company's steamers 10 Guavmas. At that
point they are taken in charge by officials
OF the Santa Fe Railroad and carried to
their destination. Strange to say, the
Arizona merchants get a quicker service
by this roundabout route than they do by
the Southern Pacific.
The rate is said to be only trifle lower,
but as the steamship line and the Santa
Fe are both satisfied and the people get a
better and quicker service at a small saw
ing, everybody is delighted and the ship
ments by the new route grow in volume
from day to day.
The shipmen which went out on the
Willamette Valley yesterday were COM
posed of almost every article in the mar
ket 1t comprised -four, sugar, tea, coffee,
canned goods, railroad iron, sheetiron.
iron bars, machinery, wheat, oats, and in
TACT, one of the most valuable general car
goes ever taken out on the steamer. 1t
means Just so many carloads taken away
from the Southern Pacific, and when the
Coos Bay goes out in a week or SO it will
mean just SO many carloads more. The
Santa Fe is making most aggressive fight
against the Huntington lines wherever
they reach into its territories, and it has
certainly displayed remarkable ingenuity
In outgeneraling the managers of the Cali
fornia monopoly.
The Willamette Valley was to have
gone out under new name, but at the
last minute her owners decided not to
make the change until next trip. Then
her name will be changed to Orizaba, after
the famous old pacFet that made so many
thousands of dollars for Goodall, Perkins
d 90. The change is made on account of
the fact that there is a steamer Willamette
and willamette Valley, and considerable
it is Orizaba or Willamette Valley, the
steamer will continue to carry Arizona
freight as long as it is offering.
When spoken to about the new opposi-
ton, Captain Bennett, the superintendent
OF the dock, said it was news to him. "W
carry all the cargo that comes along" said
he, ''but if there is any of it going to Ari-
zcna via Guaymas L don't know of it."
Nevertheless, there was considerable
freight lying on the wharf not hundred
feet from where he was standing, marked
for Arizona points via Guaymas. The
Southern Pacific has now another opposi-
ton line to fight.
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-25

1t was considered forty minutes or forty
Gays. When rates were established one
year ago Chief Sullivan of the Fire Depart
ment wanted extra large mains in the
clearinghouse district north of Market
street, and larger mains for vast sec
ton south of Market. He also wanted
a reservoir on Clarendon Heights, which
involved pumping 800 feet high. An ex-
tension of the Mission pipeline was de-
sired, and many other things were asked.
Then | said we could not &C to that outlay
of $780, 900 when we had no assurance that
the rates fixed would be maintained for
more than one year. We were then as
sured, and Supervisor Taylor was the
spokesman. that if the company would do
what the Chief of the Fire Department
then demanded for Clarendon Heights and
other districts, that the rates would re-
main undisturbed for two years. We ful-
filled our part of the compact, and even
went further and extended pipe to the
Cliff House."
Mr.. Schussler will meet representatives
of the Grand Jury SOME time to-day, and
1t is probable that an agreement will be
reached in regard to water for ships.
