RAILROADS FOR PHOENIX. New Lines to Give Entry
 to Colorado. Extension Of the Rio Grande
 Western.
Incorporation or a Road from Den yer Through Cripple Creek
 to Denver.

The following is a telegraphic item bearing date of January 10, and ema- hating from Denver
 Articles of incorporation of the Denver, Cripple Greek & Southwestern states office this afternoon with a cap italization of s2,5O0,OOO. The incor- porators are Cyrus w. Fisher, Earl B. Coe, w. W. Borst, William G. Evans and James T. Cornforth, and the di- rectors are the same men with J. P Heisler, James H. Blood, F. ". Crocker, Alex Berger, John w. Nes-' mith, M Spangler, James A. Fleming and H. c. Lowrie.
 1.-The road will be a short line via Platte canyon to Cripple Creek, and will continue southwest through the West Mountain valley to Phenix, and thence on Ito the head of the Gulf Of California, taking in the mining camps in the southwestern part of this state and Arizona It is the greatest under taking in railroad building in the west since the construction of the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf railroad by eX-GOvernor Evans
 Of the incorporators named James A. Fleming is capitalist of Phoenix, and the others are moneyed men of Denver, who are deemed fully able to carry out even an enterprise of such immense magnitude as this. The line would probably cross the Atlantic & Pacific at Flagstaff, making a Grand canyon scenic route, passing from the Mogollon plateau into the Verde valley by way of the wonderful Beaver Creek canyon. Thence the way to Phoenix is direct and easy, and westward the course would be problematic.
 Another line projected, of the ut most importance to Phoenix, though as yet only in the minds of its pro- jectors, is an extension southward of the Denver & Rio Grande Western from Maryvaile in southern Utah to a junction at Ash Fork with the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Railroad engineers who have looked into the question of crossing the Canyon of the Colorado state the passage would not be especially difficult by way of the Kanab wash and the scenic possibili- ties would be of the grandest.
 This Rio Grande scheme also em- braces an extension westward to a junction with the San Joaquin Velley road and it's southern terminus. Surveyors are already in, the field, seeking the most feasible route.
 There are new enterprises, with lit tile or no connection with any of the railway schemes heretofore outlined, for the opening up of central Arizona, and the indications are strong that one of the two will bear fruit and be- come reality ere the close of the

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Only One Case of Smallpox at Fools S
 Gulch.

Prescott Journal-Miner: Supervisor John Wood has returned from a visit to Fools gulch where he went to look after the smallpox outbreak. He left that camp yesterday morning and states that there is only one case in the camp. The report, first sent up that people were leaving the place he states cept a. few hangers-on who had no business there. Everybody who was att work or who have business are at tending to it tas usual and no fears are entertained of the spread of the disease as the case is Guarantined and getting g along nicely. The patient is a man named James Curran, formerly of Jerome, who on August 13, 1895, was sent ito the insane asylum at Phoenix. He was discharged from that institu- tion, as cured a short time since, and came to Congress and remained there a day or two, going from there to Fools Gulch, where he secured work, but had only worked a day and a half, when he was taken down with the disease.
 Every timing is moving along in the usual way in the camp, and stranger going there would never know that there was even a suspicion of a case of smallpox within one hundred miles of the camp from anything which he might see in the place. Dr. Hamilton, of Congress, is attending the patient.

A LIVELY BALL GAME,
Wherein the Sports Contested for a
 Worthy Cause.

The Capitol-Palace baseball game Sunday afternoon resulted in 8 victory for the former at a score of 52 to 24 There was present a large crowd and over s150 was realized for the benefit fund, the relief of an old-time sport
 In many ways it was a regular game of baN. The catchers for the teams, Childs and Harlow, are semi-profes- sionals, while Dick Arnold and Fleish- man are no small potatoes on the dia- mond field. Of course, errors were plentiful, yet the game was good natured, even if the umpire, Fred Schofeld, was occasionally threatened with mob violence for some especially raw decision.
 Schofield was sight to behold, in a calico uniform of cat and dog pattern. The uniforms of the clubs were of bed ticking of different stripes, though the members of the Capitol team had en- cased their neither extremities in socks, brown on the one foot and black on the other Cariboo Brown did very little umpiring. He simply put on a Capitol uniform and acted as mascot with the highest degree of success. A tall silk hat was the most apparent part of his apparel. It was a good game as far as entertainment went and the Palace boys not disheartened by defeat, are now ready ito again take up the contest for supremacy.

A DEMOCRATIC BOLT.
How the Unterrifed of New Mexico
 Are Acting.

Albuquerque Citizen: We have had the privilege of standing out in the cold and looking on as Utah took her place in the Union, and now 5he Dem ooralts propose to give us the same experience with Arizona.
 It has been generally conceded that statehood was a matter of so much i'm portance ito the terrotory lthat all par tisan differences should be laid aside, and that men of all parties should work together in favor of the measure whenever the opportunity might come.
 Enabling acts for Arizona and New Mexico will probably be passed by the present congress and Arizona will be admitted, but the Democrats of this territory have already bolted the agreement and have given notice that they propose ito defeat the measure at the polls unless the bill is so framed

AMERICANS ENDANGERED Several Arrested by the
 BOerS.
Trouble Continues in the
 TransvaaI Country.
Resolution in Congress Directed at the Protection of American
 Residents.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-A dispatch to the Pail Mall Gazette from Cape Town says latest advices from Pretoria state that bail has been refused the ring Readers of the recent disturbances at Johannesburg, and other people ar rested in. the same connection have been liberated each in $5,000 bail
 The dispatch adds it is expected se- were measures will be taken against the leaders of the uprising in spite of that fact that it is apparent that they were deceived and taken by surprise by Dr. Jamieson's incursion.
 Sir Hercules Robinson, governor of Cape Colony, it appears, made every effort to secure leniency for the pris- oners, but the Boers are much in censed and very difficult to control
 The new ministry for Cape Colony is regarded as a device to shield eX- Premier Cecil Rhodes and Sir Her cules Robinson. Rhodes, it is also said, is in very bad health.
 Advices from Johannesburg say the Boers are making a house to house search for arms and it is stated that Germans have been holding meetings and passing resolutions telling Elm peror William to mind his own busi- ness.
 The persons arrested by the Boers at Johannesburg include the following Americans: P. J. King, Captain Mein, Charles Butters, J. s. Curtis.

IMPERILED AMERICANS.
Measures Taken for Their Protection
 in Johannesburg.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Senators Perkins and White of California called at the state deuartment today to urge Secretary Olney to take such steps as were necessary to secure the proper treatment for John Hays Hammond, the American mining engineer, re- ported to have been arrested by Boer officials at Johannesburg on charge of treason in connection with the re- cent rising of Uitlanders in the Trans vaal.
 Secretary Olney informed his callers that he had cabled MT. Manyon, consul resident at Johannesburg, ito do every thing proper for the protection of all American citizens in the Transvaal.
 Ambassador Bayard was cabled by Secretary Olney to secure from the foreign affairs office in London direc- tions to British representatives in south Africa to use their good offices to protect American citizens
 The secretary assured the California senators that American citizens in the TransWaal cannot be tried for treason, so Hammond's life is not in danger. The most that can be dcne, it is said, is to fine or imprison him, but it is probable this will be avoided.

NOT A CITIZEN.
Therefore May Not Recover for Indian
 Depredations.

WASHINTON, Jan. 13.-The su- preme court of the United States today rendered it's first decision in the Indian depredations claims which are before it in the shape of an appeal from the court of claims.
 The case passed upon today was that of B. K. Johnson, who claims to have lost property through the depredations of Utes of Colorado and Utah and the opinion was handed down by Justice Brewer
 The opinion did not enter into the abstract questions involved in the case, but the decision was rendered against Johnson on the ground that he was not citizen of the United States at the time the property was lost, which was held to be a sufficient bar, not withstanding he afterwards took out papers

 ANOTHER ISLAND REVOLT Hawaii Is Threatening to
 Secede. Governmental Crisis Threatens President Dole. RoyaIists Stirring Up the Natives to Unseat the New
 Regime.

WASHINGTON Jan 13.-Special correspondence of the Associated Press from Honolulu by the steamer Aus tralia, dated January 6, states that the island of Hawaii is meditating seces- sion from the Hawaiian government and the formation of its own govern ment. When the legislature meets next month the secession move will be waii should decide to form their gov ernment nothing butt outside inter ference could prevent. The Dole gov ermment would be powerless, as Ha- !waii is more thickly settled than any other island of the group.
 Minister of Foreign Affairs Cooper is now in Hawaii trying to ascertain how widespread is the desire for se- cession. Friends of the ex-queen are anxious for war between England and the United States, believing that in the event of such hostilities England would seize the Hawaiian island and restore Lilioukalani.
 Carl Klemm, eXiled from the islands lO1 OOuOpl oCy I'll OOll1OOCAOn 'WlCu U1t 1895 rebellion, has returned accompa- nied by lhis wife. He was given no permission to return and has been no- tifed by the government that if he does not leave at once he will be prosecuted for conspiracy. He says he will stand trial rather than leave
 The remaining political prisoners were released on New Years day. They agreed to support the present govern ment.
 R. Dole, formerly of Riverside, Cal. cousin of President Dole, has been deputy attorney general.
 The Hawaiian band, reported starv- ing in an Ohio town, will be brought home at the expense of the govern ment
 (Hawaii embraces fully two-thirds ot the area of the Hawaiian islands, com prising 4,040 square miles. Upon ii are the main sugar plantations anG the densest population. It is es. pecially notable for its volcano Mauna Loa, the greatest known. Hon olulu is upon the island of Oahu, which has an area of but 522 square miles.)

CAVE DWELLINGS.

Flagstaff Sun: B. F. Doney this week discovered a new lot of cave and cliff dwellings. They are located on the top of mountain about three miles east of the mountain known as the Cave DweTlers' mountain He states that dhe dwellings are in a good state of preservation and show no evidence of having been disturbed. MT. Doney unearthed a skeleton in good state of preservation, and now has it on exhi- bitfon at his residence. The body had been to all appearances laid to rest in cave especially prepared for it, as the walls of the cave were regularly laid and the interstices filled with mud, and earth carefully packed over the body. A small earthen jug was found near 'dhe head of the skeleton This is be- heved to- be the first skeleton found in the cave dwellings, and it may lead to important discoveries.

A SANTA FE CHANGE.

The Santa F'e ra;lroad project of building from Deming to Fairbank is again considered, and the Deming Headlight, says: 'Now that the af- airs of fhe Santa Fe have been settled permanently there is every reason to believe that the new management will sometime during the coming year build branch west from Deming to Fairbank, attempted some years ago, and for which the road-bed has been constructed for some miles. Addition al belief for this is ito be found in the fact that the Southern Pacific is re- ported ito have raised the rate between Deming and Benson on freight to such a price that the Santa Fe cannot pos sibly transact business between its lines except at a loss"

Republicans Will, therefore, see the necessity for earn- est and harmonious action. It is no5 right that this should be a party
 question, but the Democrats have chosen to mae it such, and hence the Republicans must put their shoulders to the wheel and make a state of New Mexico without Democratic assistance.

HARRISON ON THE PRESIDENCY
Thinks a Chief Magistrate Should No
 Be Eligible to Reflection.

EX-President Benjamin Harrison will discuss "The Presidential Office very comprehensively in his "This Country of Ours" series, in the forth coming February Ladies Home Jour nal. He will detail the provisions and methods of electing a chief mag istrate and will have much to say bearing upon the eligibility of a presi- dent for reelection; will give his views as to the length of the presidential term, and express rather decided opin- ions relative to the annoyance to which presidents are subjected from office seekers. The article is practical, based upon experience and observa- Ition and is very timely.

There Is Division Among Half
 Dozen Candidates.
 SALT LAKE, Jan. 13-On account of a conference of Republican mem bers of the legislature to be held to- morrow night, the senatorial canvass is growing in interest If the con- ference should develop strength enough to insure a regular caucus, the fight would quickly be narrowed down to two or three contestants, otherwise balloting is likely to begin with the Republican vote divided among at least five candidates.
