THE ARIZONA PACIFIC

The railroad survey which started
from Crawford station On the Sill yer
City branch of the Santa Fe railroad
in May last and which has been com
pleted to this city developed Tuesday
when the company was duly incorpo-
rated under the laws of Arizol!a at
Solomonville, which is named as the
principal place of business Of the COM
pany. The articles of incorporation
are signed by j. E. Beard, of Kansas
City, who has had charge Of the sur
vey, J. N. Porter, of Fort Thomas,
John Blake of Stafford, w. H. Wood,
of Denver, and I. E. Solomon and
Frank Dysart of Solomonville. The
| officers of the company are E. } {.
Beard. President; J. N. Porter, Vice
President; l. E. Solomon, Treasurer
and Frank Dysart Secretary. The
capital stock of the company is ten
| million dollars and the articles show
+he purpose to build railroad from
a roint on the Santa Fe railroad III
New Mexico to Phoenix, Arizona,
with branch lines to Clifton, Morenci
and Globe. This llae would tap the
great mineral districts of Clifton ano
Globe and pass through this valley
which, to it's size, has no equal IN the
South vest. No information has yet
been given out as to the probaOle
time when construction work will be-
gin, but it is presumed that it will be
inaugrrated III time to secure thf
fifteen years exemption from taxation
under law passed by the last legls-
lature. This railroad would NEAR

opment for Graham county, as vel

ARIZONA.

! A careful reading of the newspa-
pers Of Arizona discloses that the de-
| velopmeut of the rich and varied re-
sources Of the big territory is pro-
ceeding in a most gratifying manner
despite the many drawbacks that have
existed TO development everywhere
during the past seven years.
Perhaps this development is most
prominent in the mining industry,
which is taking great strides forward
this year. Arizona is very rich in
gold, silver aud copper, and it needs
only brains and the magic touch OF
capital 10 place her in the front rank
among the producers of these impor-
tant metals. A large amount of pros :
pecting is being done and the results
seem to be entirely satisfactory to the
prospectors, if one may judge from
the published interviews.
The cattle industry, too, which has
been picking up somewhat all over
the country during the past year or
two. is no small factor in the industry
and prosperity of Arizona. and will
add consid erable to the roundup OF
the years profits.
A new railroad to the Grand can
yoh of the Colorado will surely be
built very soon, if, indeed. it is not
completed this year. This will add
greatly to the attractions of the ter
ritory, and will draw many visitors to
the territory who perhaps now labor
under the mistaken impression that
Arizona is trackless desert,
The leading cities of the territory,
too, are doing very we'll and display
ing unmistakable indications of up-to
date enterprise and push. Phoenix,
Tucson, Tombstone, Prescott and
others that might be named are feel
ing the impetus and moving ahead
accordingly.-Los Angeles Herald.

WILL FORM AN ASSOCIA-
TION.

An important movement is on foot
in this valley, which means the form

matter has been discussed with the
leading cattlemen and cattle feeders,
and without exception they greatly
favor the plan. 1t will be conducted

the opposite hand, the financial gain

The meeting was called to be held
in Phoenix last Wednesday afternoon
and it is hoped that the meeting was
well attended. This valley is assum :
ing very great Importance for it's
cattle interests, and it is highly i'm
portal.t to those interested in that
industry that they unite in placing
the business upon an intelligent basis.

The Prescott Courier says very rich
su1phide ore, of the same character as
the rich ore taken froms the Monte
Cristo mine, has been struck in the
Douglass mine on Groo n creek. The
Douglass Is located one and half
miles up the creek from the Monte
Cristo and is being worked under a

say that this ore is the same as that

Mexico is sometimes held up to us
as land where tomorrow reigns and
today never seems to materia1ize. If
the question were asked as to the best
governed land this Union of ours
would at once be acclaimed the chief
est. Yet, as a comparison with our
legal delays, especially with the most
notorious criminals. one instance of
Mexican justice might be quoted.
Something over a year ago pay
master went there with $4,000 or
$7 1000 to pay off some men. He
stopped at ranch, was followed by
three or four men, was killed and the
money carried off. The robbers were
caught and taken before a magis-
trate who discharged them. The
government then took up the matter,
caught the robbers and shot them,
shot the ranchman at whose place
they had stopped, shot the magistrat e
who had discharged them, found a
number Of accessories and shot them,
and, first and last, shot sixteen men
concerned in the affair.-Stockman

ARBITRATION TREATY.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Con-
siders 1t.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The senate
committee on, foreign relations had the
arbitration treaty under discussion, but
the discussion was almost wholly upon
its bearing on the Nicaragua canal. The
committee had read the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, also all treaties and
agreements between the United States
and Nicaragua and Costa Rica, relating
to the canal The letter of Minister
Rodriguez presented to the senate on
Friday, in which the Nicaraguan gov
ernment protested against the present
canal bill in the senate, formed basis
of discussion. This led to talk of what
the real situation was in regard to the
concession and technical rights of the
Maritime Canal company, as well as
the rights of the United States. Sew
eral senators seemed to think that the
Nicaraguan canal might be seriously
affected by the treaty, and the deter
mination of the committee will be to
60 to the bottom of the question before
taking up other portions Of the treaty.
Senator Morgan took an active part in
the discussion. Being chairman of the
Nicaragua canal committee and in
charge of the bill before the senate, his
views were presented at some length,
and with much earnestness. The Ala
bama senator insisted that the canal
situation must be settled before the
treaty could be ratified.
