IT is wonderful to see the effect
the mentioning of the removal of
the county seat has on the diges-
tive organs Of the Bulletin. Its
better than a powerful dose of
physic. 1t wakes the old "hoss"
up and causes it to snort and paw
up the earth worse than a mad
bull in a Mexican bull fight. In
It's next issue it will probably de-
clare that the Solomonvillo Jail is
the best in the Territory and &C
cuse all the officers in charge of
the jail at the time Of Chacon's
escape of being off on q drunk,
and declare that ten men worked
incessently for three weeks to
make the hole through the Jail
walls which permitted Chacon's
escape. When person gets into
his dotage before his time its hard
to tell what breaks he will make.

The Dragons

From the Dragon mountains
comes the report Of several now
strikes in the numerous mines now
in process of development in that
district, among which are the Black
Diamond group now under bond
to the company now operating the
famous copper mines of Bisbee.
While the surface indications and
the work done prior to the bond
ing of this property, gave greatly
fattering prospects, yet the later
work done has shown that the most
sanguine expectations of the locat-
ors were in no wise exaggerated.
rs depth is attained the size of
the ore bodies increase and the
assays show increased richness.
The character of the ore in the
bottom is reported rich sulphide OF
copper carrying also gold and sill
yer ir quantities almost sufficient tic
pay the expenses of extraction and
reduction.
This is distined to be another
one of the great wealth producers

RAILWAY POOLS.

There are pending two bills in
the Senate of the United States for
the regulation of railways; one the
Forker bill. The Forker bill is
one which has been approved and
adopted by the railway lobbyists
and one which they very much
desire to see become q law. The
Harris bill does not meet with
their appreciation for the reason
that 1t was written in the interest
OF the whole people, instead ofthat
class of our fellow citizens who
own and control railways. If the
railways can obtain the right to
legally establish pools as provided
in the Forker bill whereby they
can fix their earnings for the car
rying of freight and passengers in
accordance with their desires, and
prevent competition and then
divide the proceeds with each
other, their opportunities for MAX
ing money will only be curtailed
by the rapacIty of the railway
managers.
1t would be like throwing a
lamb to q wolf, and the people will
have no more show of obtaining
an honest deal than would the
lamb, clemency, from the ravenous
beast.
If the railways can succeed in
doing this, and with their present
system of giving passes to the lead
ing little political claquers through
out the country, they will be in
the saddle, booted and spurred and
will ride honest endeavor to its
destruction.
Papers should wake up to this
great danger which Is now threat
ening the industrial industrial in
terests of the country; fight the
deadly pool; demand of their mem
bers of Congress and Senators that
they stand by the rights of the
people by whom they were elected,
and for whom they are expected to
work. Unless this is done rail
way influences will corrupt enough
of the peoples representatives to
pass the dastardly pool bill.
