 AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. HI. Nj. Chapman secretary Of the Phoenix Library association, proposes to write about 300 letters to the large libraries of the country, the object bong to 2d- vertse abroad the fact that Phoenix has a library. Another step le cen templates, if it meets with the sane tion of the board of directors, is to communicate to every beard of trade in the United States, calling attention to the resources of th:s valley. and also to the modern improvements 1 and conveniences of Phoenix. Tn or {! der to increase the scientific depart ! ment of the library the association will i apply at Washington for a number of ! government reports. To one un1n formed it would take a great deal of l time to obtain books, but n ac- quaintance with the correct channels . through which 10 send the cCmmuni- ! cations will expedite matters.
 WRECK ON THE CLIFTON ] ROAD. George Buxton returned yes i terday from a trip embracing nearly i every point in the territory and a part i of Mexico. He went in the interest of | valley fruits and was surprised to i find the reputation which Phoenix i holds as a fruit center He tells of a | railroad wreck which occurred about | thirty-fve mi1as from Clifton on the train which left Lordsburg last Satur- i day. The wreck took place shortly af- | ter noon. There are many trestles l along the line, but fortunately the ac- cident occurred on a lev5l stretch of | land and there were no casualties, | beyond slight injuries to a Mexican i who occupied g rail beneath a freight ear. The train consisted of a number of freight cars laden with merchan- 1ise and a passenger on the rear end On the foremost freight car an axle broke. The car was telescoped and eleven freight cars went off the track They are now being burned so that -he iron work may be taken away safe in one of the cars weighing ,, GOO pounds was thrown 100 feet from the track The castings were broken and the door bent in. The es- ape of the passenger from accident was miraculous. There was another fortunate circumstance connected with the accident. s. W Price & Co. lad intended to slip a car Ci giant powder on the train, but the men were busy that day and postponed loading he car. If the powder had been sent doubtless there would not be a man eft to tell the tale.
