The two little Hunter boys from Po-

remarkable, considering their tender
ages, again took French leave of the
orphans home last night and started out
to make tracks (barefooted tracks, to
Alhambra, where they have an uncle

were not very sure of their bearings, and
as result, about the first man they ran

brought them 10 the police station at
2 o'clock this morning. Ernest said that
he and Willie had got tired of the fare
at the orphans home and decided to
make change. They were very peri-
tent at the police station and were ready
to make promises of future good conduct
if they could only get away The little

A cyanide plant near Kane Springs of
eighty tons capacity has been put in op-

they expect to have all they can do

A gasoline hoist has been placed in po-

Is a large force of consecrated Christian
young people devoting all their spare

Greed is never emphasized. The gos-
pei as laid down in the Golden Rule is
our sole standard of work. The regular
church expenses are raised in the usual
way, but the charitable work, the work
in short that comes outside of ordinary
church methods must be paid for by
outside subscriptions. A mems rescue
band composed of men rescued from the
depths of sin and shame, during the
winter and spring, conducted the 1880

Tuesday evenings they furnished lunch

PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH
A railroad that has been making a
considerable degree Of advancement in
the past year is the line that connects
Phoenix with the Southern Pacific.
Though with only about As miles of main
trackage, it manages to carry without
visible effort the title of the phoenix
and Maricopa and Salt River Valley
railroad" Superintendent Mcneil is a
man of discernment. While by neces-
sity his letterheads and box cars must
bear the awful array of initials, he has
lately hit upon the happy title of the
Phoenix Short Line" and all agree
with him that the difficulty has been
bridged. A few years ago the M. & P.
was a very rocky road. AT present it
is one of the best managed in the west.
Mr.. Mcneil is a practical railroader, and
served for years at a locomotive throt-
tie. He has balasted his line and re-
built his engines and his cars, except
several fresh from the builder, have been
overhauled and repainted. Added to this
Pullman fresh from the shops. and
there would appear to be good reason
for Mr.. McNeils pride in his road 1t
is great change and one that we'll shows
the beneficial effect of competition in un-
loosing the purse strings of a railway
corporation. The "Short Line" last year
built an extension from Tempe to Mesa,
over which local trains run from Phoenix
to Mesa. This line, which was damned
by the prophets as failure in advance,
has materalzed as one Of the most
ing well. One effect it has had is to
further consolidate business in Phoenix,
as the sturdy farmer now is able to Sc
cure the benefits that attend trade in the
| metropolis.
The surveys Of railroad to the White
Hills camp in Mohave county and to the
Big Bug mines in Yavapai county are
now nearly complete and construction
upon them is to begin at once.
Even the Jerome narrow gauge is feel
ing the boom in railroading. To the
three locomotives already employed on
| the rs mile line, fourth of exceptional
power has been added, as we'll as a score
or more of new cars. This road, from the
