The Globe Road.
From the Tempe News.l .

James c. Goodwin, who is in charge of the Lost dulch mill and mine, will return to Globe on Saturday after visit of several days in the valley. The work on the Globe road, he says, is progressing rapidly. He removes misunderstanding concerning the opp perations which were supposed to have nothing to do with the Globe road. The road is now being constructed be- tween the Black Warrior mine and Pinto Creek. This is on the line of the Globe-Mesa road. There is already good road from the mine to Globe, nine miles away. The work between the Black Warrior and Pinto Creek is being done by twenty-five. Apache h. dians who learned the art of road building on the grade of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad. It is about twelve miles from the Black Warrior to Pinto Creek and the Indians have nearly covered the dis tance.
 c. R. flakes, who has charge of the work on the east side, will shortly begin operations between Queen Creek and Pinto. The distance is about twelve miles. Thers is good desert road from Queen Creek to Mesa of about forty-fve miles. The entire distance from Mesa to Globe is eighty three miles. There is only about twenty-four miles of mountain road. The undertaking is not nearly so herculean as was supposed. It is a wonder that it was not undertaken sooner, since so much was to be gained by it, the cutting off of almost half the present distance by the way of Flor ence, which is about 15J miles.
 1 When the new road is completed the ] journey from the valley to the big mining camp eau be made in day, and the traveller will not have to load himself down with horse feed and other commissary supplies as if he were going to war.

IF Mr. Paul Hull, the well-lnown newspaper writer. happens to come over this way in order to get look at the voters who sent imbeeile or dis honest Republican legislators to mis- represent Pinal county in the last Legislature, it will be the duty of our best citizens to see that the leading cranks (some of them calling them selves democrats) are kept locked up during his visit. Otherwise he is apt to get an unfavorable impression of our live little community.

REPRESENTATIVE Sulzer of New York, who is in Washington, said the other day II am sorry that Col. Bryan has seen fit to give Belmont so much free advertising, as Belmont represents no portion of the democratic party in New York. Col. Bryan has not i'm paired his popularity in the Empire State by his refusal to count Mir. Belmont and his fellow-bolters as democrats. The democracy of New York will see to it that Chicago plat form democrats are selected to the next National convention, and all apprehension in this regard is needless and absolutely without justification, from the attitude of the true demo- cratic party in New York"

FROM F. H. Newell's letter to Thomas Boyle, of Phoenix, published in this issue, it seems he is unaware of the fact that the last Legislature adopted memorial commenting the work of the U. S. Geological Survey at the Florence Buttes, and asking for further appropriations for the compile tion of the Government dam. Such a memorial was introduced by Mir. Bartleson, unanimously passed both houses, and the Secretary of the Terri tory was instructed to transmit copies of thesame to our Delegate in Congress, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of House of Representatives.

Just to keep in prae- tiee in his profession, he reported the proceedings of the legislature for the Republican. The proceedings were so highly amusing iE many of their features in regard to rulings and otherwise, that MT. Hull's curiosity has been aroused, and the Gazette says that she started out on tour of in vestigation.

We believe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best in the world. A few weks ago we suffered with a severe cold and a troublesome cough, and having read their advertisements in our own and other papers we pur- chased bottle to see if it would effect us. It cured us before the bottle was more than half used. It is the best medicine out for colds and coughs.- The Herald. Andersonville, Ind. For sale by Brockway's Pharmacy.

Another Big Deal.
IFrom the Tucson star.l
Very truly yours,
 F. Il. NEWELL,
 Hydrographer.


 One of the biggest mining deals of the season has been all but consum- mated during the last twelve days. Money has been paid down to bind a million dollar option on each the Pride of the West, the Belmont and the Allen mines in Washington dis trict. The purchase of these mines and the building of the railroad line already surveyed ont from Crit tenden form part of the work laid out by three of the largest com panies of capitalists in the United States.
 The Westinghouse company (of air brake fame) have the railroad ven- ture in hand, ard have party of men on the ground now to push the latter improvement to "a pid and successful issue.
 The names of the companies pur- chasing these properties will be kept secret for few days for business reasons, but that this gigantic deal is as we have said not the shadow of a doubt remains.
 The story leaked ont three days ago, but up to last night we could not get sufficient confirmation of it's truthfulness to warrant it's publica- tion.

AN IMPORTANT OPINION.
Decision of Supreme Court in Regard to
Issuance of Scrip.

Knoxville, November 10. An opin-
ion was handed down by the Supreme
Court on its last opinion day in the
case of Sam HARRISON vs.. the Knoxville
Iron Company. HARRISON had been
purchasing coal orders given by the
company to its employees and demanded
their redemption in cash. This the
company refused. HARRISON obtained
a Judgment for theamount of the orders
held by him at their face value. The
Supreme Court held that the company
was liable for the face value of such or
ders in cash, tho decision settling the
constitutionality of the recent act of
the legislature by which it was made
the law that any companies issuing
scrip, "punch-outs," or similar evil
dence ofindebtedness to their employees
might be required to redeem them in
legal currency Of the United States at
any time. The decision, therefore, af-
fects the entire state and may result in
the discontinuance of such commlssary
orders or scrip The measure was one
in which the labor unions of the state
took great interest, and efforts have
been made for several years to have
such law passed.

New Pension Rule.

An important order was received
Wednesday by the pension Office, and
is of interest to great many pension
ers living in the south. The order is
to the effect that all pensioners will
hereafter be paid from the pension Of
fee having jurisdiction over the terri
tory in which they live. This applies
to persons who have moved from the
district in which they secured their
pensions and still receive pension pay
ments therefrom.
For instance, a person living at Col
umbus, Ohio, and drawing a pension
from that Office, has moved to Knox
vile and lived for several years. He
has been oil this time drawing his pen
sion from Columbus. By the recent
order he must draw it from Knoxville.
The jurisdiction Of the Knoxville
agency extends over ten southern states
so that all pensioners who have moved
south will be placed upon the Knox
vile roll. All persons who have been
drawing pensions from Knoxville and
have moved out of Knoxville's terrific
ry will be put on some other list.
Whether the new law will increase
or decrease the Knoxville roll is not yet
known, but it is thought it will in
crease it.
The new ruling states that when two
pension payments are made outside ol
a district, subsequent payments shall
be made by the nearest Office. Knox
