THE PRESCOTT AND EASTERN.
A Bright Outlook for Business for The New Road-An All-lmpor.- ant Factor m the Progress
 of tbe COuntry

aIt was a matter of SUI prise and astonishment to very many of the Mayer e1eursionists. to witness the effect which the building of the Prescott & Eastern railroad had already produced on industrial sf- fairs in that section. One gentle man who formerly lived in that sec tion but who had not been there for several years was particularly i'm pressed with-the change which was noticeable.
 Only about a month ago tue writer of this. had gone to the end of the track when Huron consisted of one house and a tent. Now there is quite a respectable little village of tents, while eight or ten wooden buildings have been built and sev- eral others are under construction.
 The railroad has a very neat little depot building almost completed at this place too, and this place prom ises to become the most important on the line of the road.
 In addition to the Huron group of mines which Is located within a stones throw of the railroad and whIch are being worked under bond by E. B. Gage aud E. NJ. Murphy, there are number of other very promising properties in the imme- diate vicinity which will be worked on a larger scale | an ever before and which will furnish no incOnsid- erable traffic for the new road.
 The McCabe. Little Jessie and other Chaparral properties are lO- cated within very few miles Of this station, while just beyond are the Lottie, Henrietta, Commercial Mining cOmpsny's properties as well as numerous other smaller ones.
 Prospectors are quite numerous on the hills and other properties equal to any that have been found are reasonably sure to be discovered as the country has never been thoroughly prospected and it is one of the finest mineral belts in the territory.
 Placer mining is also being carried on to some extent along Big Bug creek and with good success to those engaged in 1t.
 At Mayer the same activity is noticeable. The railroad company has force of men at work there grading for a large warehouse and depot. A daily stage line has sl- ready been put on between there and Crowned King, while the entire Lower Agua Fria, Black Canyon and Big Bug country are tributary to that point and the traffic both ways will be transferred at that place.
 The talk IS that the Big Bug onyx Juarries will also be started up again within a few months, un- der the impetus given oy the con struction of the railroad. They have lain idle now for over a year and color is given to their early starting again from the fact that Mir. Underhill, superintendent oi the property made a visit there re- gently to look over the situation, with view 1t is stated of starting them up again. These quarries are located within loo yards of the terminus of the road.

4 sENSELESs CRIME.

The Anarchist who killed the Elm press of Austria flor an example made a most devilish choice for his eX- ample. She was an eccentric and sad dehed woman siXty-one years old who had little to do with court display and nothing to do with political affairs. Only few weeks ago it was announc- ed that the rheumatism from which she had suffered for years was incura- ble and must soon lead to her death. She had been in the habit of going about practically unattended and it was easy for the assassin to commit his Senseless and cowardly crime, a crime which does not punish an op- pressor or remove a tyrant. Strange and villainous things have been done in the name of Anarchy, but nothing more strange and more villainous than this brutal killing of an old and deeply troubled woman, of whom her husband, the Emperor says: "It is incompre- hensible that any one should lay a hand upon a woman who throughout her life has done nothing but good ac- tiOnS"

THE WoNDERFUL OREGON.

The more the Oregon is investigated the more wonderful she appears. When she went into the big dry dock at the Brooklyn navy yard the exposure of her bottom disclosed condition worse than was found on the bottom of any of the other war vessels. It was cov- and tropical growth. A partial clean ing was given her at San Francisco by divers before she started on her fifteen thousand miles trip around the Horn. But that was necessarily imperfect. Excepting it, the Oregon's bottom has not been cleaned in two years. Her performance, therefore, in making her long voyage from San Francisco, and especially in that phenomenal chase of the Cristobal Colon in the battle off Santiago is the more remarkable. If she can show such speed while carry ing a load of seaweed and barnacles on her hull under water, what might she not do with clean and polished water surface?
 Truly wonderful ship. Well may her makers, her owners and her crew take pride in her. If there is another battleship in the world as good as she is the evidence that there is has yet to be produced.

 EXCITING CAMEL TRAINING.


 The Animal of the Desert Has More
 Vices Than a Mule.
 An officer who has been residing some time in Egypt, where camel riding has been obligatory, sends the following graphic description of his experiences with the amiable and useful animal: You can we'll imagine that there Is a circus around here while the usual rid ing instruction is going on. When the untamed camels first arrived at our camp I heard a teremendous growing in front of the door, and on going out I saw one of these amiable beasts be- ing led by his keeper, but walking along with every expression of dis gust both in his countenance and voice, The man stopped (ditto cameD, and attempted to tie the beasts fore legs together. when 1t reared, and striking out with it's forefeet, landed on the keepers stomach and head, sending him flying through space as if shot out of a cannon. The man pick ed himself out of the ditch with a hand on each bruised part, and the camel, which had never ceased roaring, was taken in charge by two other and more robust natives and led to the tents, or rather induced to go by en- ergetic assistance of very sharp iron rod applied in most vigorous and miscellaneous manner. Similar exhi- bitions are being conducted here daily, and we are now ready to lead the re- gently broken cames. Within three or four days they become tractable. first formed my opinion of a camel some years ago, when l rode across the Arabian deserts and I see no reason to alter 1t in any way. The creature has so many talents and so many ways of exhibiting them. And, to begin with, 1t can kick harder, higher swifter and oftener than a mule, and can use all four feet at one time in a kicking match. Then it can bite worse than a vicious horse, and buck in a way to make a broncho blush with absolute shame. No rider ever lived who can stay on that perch seven feet from the ground during a camePs exhibition of gymnastics. Then he can run away when he feels like it, and is often seiz- ed with desire to slope. Upon an oc- casion of this kind his rider experiences a sensation between being blown up with dynamite or struggling against the throes of an earthquake until all his joints are dislocated, and he drops a limp, inert mass, to the ground. Then this sweet creature has way of evinc- ing his displeasure that is at least ef- fectual and convincing. He twists his snakelike neck into a circle, and polk ing his ugly nose into the face of the rider, opens his cavernous mouth and lets out roar of disgust in such a fet- i'd breath that the elevated human vic- tim Is fairly blown into the middle of the coming month ( week being too short a distance). And yet. with all these high recommendations, which some people might consider objection able, these are the dear animals I am constantly brought in contact with, and for which am even beginning to form an affection. .'-The Road.

mission. It is, however, doubtful that such an investigation as this commits sion will be appointed to conduct is just what Is demanded by the people. It is said that President Mckinley Is loath to order an investigation of the army at this time, and this disinclina- ton to open up the whole subject to discussion at present is indicated by his compliance with merely the letter of Secretary Alger's request. The Pres ident believes that the investigation of the army administration should be con- ducted by joint committee of Con- gress. An investigation is necessarily an examination of the Administration of which the President is the head, and he believes, as do many other persons. that, the appointment of a commission might more appropriately be made by Congress than by the head of the Ad- ministration, who has himself been the object of some or the criticisms of the conduct of the war.
 It is also said that the opinion pre- vails among army officers in Washing ton that Congress will still order the investigation which so many senators and members are known to be in favor of. Serious criticism Of the proposed method of conducting an examination of the staff departments is made by many officers. Among those opposed to it is General Miles. He believes that Congress is the only power which can appropriately be invoked for the exam nation of charges which have been made against the Administration He believes also that the investigation should cover every phase of the war and that the line of the army as well as the staff should be subjected to off, cial scrutiny. To order an investiga- tion of the staff departments only is apparently to assume that the staff alone is responsible for the alleged mis- takes of the war
