The new road law adopted by
the Police Jury at it's last meet
ing is approved by all the intelli-
gent people who know the value
and necessity of good roads, and
who understand that q tax of Is
cts or Is cts on a vehicles with
good roads is much cheaper than
the ordinary repairs and inconvi-
niences Of bad roads. The only
trouble we are apprehsnding is in
securing the proper road master,
as it will require the service of an
intelligent, active and conscien-
tious men with some knowledge of
road making.
The Ruth refinery has a gang
of some fifty white men to feed
the carrier, and from the begin
ming of operation by this mill,
they have experienced the greatest
difficulty with this white labor,
for the reason that they do just
what they please, if they feel like
working, they work, if not. they
don't, and the big refinery is en-
tirely and completely at the mer-
cy of the carrier gang. The Com
pany thought they would encou-
rage home labor and particularly
the white labor, but they seem en-
tirely disguised with that carrier
labor, and in fact the mill was
subject to be closed down at any
moment OH account of the unsatis-
factory work given by the carrier
hands, and in the future we would
not be surprised if the Company
import either the Dago or Ger
man labor, as they give better sa-
tisfaction, and they can depended
upon to save the crop.

House Warming in San Jose.

The following account of a house
 warming in San Jose, California,
 from the Herald of that city, will be read with interest in Prescott. inas-
 much as the principals of the event
 were former residents of Prescott:
 Last evening the new and beauti- ful home of Mir. and Mrs. W. E. Hazeltine, on the corner of South Tenth and Reid streets was invaded by host of their friends. They swarmed into every part of the elegant residence until it was filled from basement to garret. The warmth of the greetings received from the genial host and hostess put everyone at their ease, and a most enjoyable evening was spent by young and old. While the sober and sedate were engaged in pleasant converse in the ample parlors the young people repaired to the com mOdious garret and with lights turned low regaled themselves with blood curdling ghost stories, until the call fron below hurried them from ltheir ghoulish amusement tos the refresbment room where a collstion was served, after which Mrs. and Miss Butter6eld the company with piano solo and duets.

 Tue above couplei represents th,
 condition fl the average iemocrAti, editor and stump speaker al th, present time in regard to the pros 1 perity of the country under the Nc.
 Kinley administration. The JoUR NAL-MINER recently published some statistics showing ihe enormous in- crease in the export of agricultural and manufactured products, and the large increase of imports of raw ma teTials for manufacture as an evi- denee of existing prosperous condi tons. It was met with the rather startling assertion that the volume of business was no index of either prosperity or depression in business.
 We have DO hopes of wringing au admission from the calamity howlers, that times are any better than dur ing the Cleveland regime. To others the knowledge that railroad build ing, this year, has been carried on more extensively than ID any previous year since Grover Cleveland was elected president, will have some weight as an index to the prosperity of :he country. The Railway Age, whose business it IS to collect statistics Tn regard to rail- road building, reports that in the nine months ending September 30 last, a round mum Dered total of 200 miles Of new railroad were laid in the United States. Ofthis corstruc- ton about 400 miles were bU lt in the months of July, August and September. and there are strong reasons to believe that the building this month will surpass that of any previous month of the year.
 From many sections of the coun- try comes the almost continual cry of lack of woTkmeu. Many hundreds of miles of road are under cOnstruc- tiOn at the present time, which can not be completed this year, owing first to the scarcity of labor. and. second to the inability to secure rails and track supplies. The de- msnd fer steel rai.s Is so great that mills are unable to i'll orders for early delivery, aud it IS likewise practically impossible to secure re- laying raIls at any price. For these reasons much work which had been planned for completion this year will have 10 be postponed until 1890. SO far as putting down the rails is con cerned, although grading is being continued with such force as can be 1 btained
 The 200 miles of track laid thus . for during 1899, exceeds the total . for ~any year since 1892, ! with the exception of lS9S, when 1 5000 miles were completed. As work is being rapidly pushed in many sections of the country on both grading and track laying. scores of miles of track will un- iOubtedly be laid during the month ' of October. more than in any previ- ous month of the year. Unless severe weather sets in unusually early, there is every reason to believe that ! enough mileage will be added be tween now and January l, to make the total for the year 1000 miles or over.
