IF the advent of the railroad into our own valley is still in the dim distance it is satisfactory to know that other parts of the territory are being devel- oped by the building of new roads. In this connection the San Francisco Ex- aminer of a recent date says: The Ariz ma and Utah Railway is building as rapidly as the large force of men can do the work. This new road leaves the line of the Santa Fe Pacific at Me- Connico junction, four miles west of Kingman, the county seat of Mohave county, Arizona, and is to be completed into Chloride, distance of forty miles, by July 18th. The grading is com pleted for several miles and the steel laying gang is rapidly following. The route of the road is mortimer ly along a wide valley and requires cry little grading. The offices of the company
  have been established at Kingman. A large number of NJ ohave Indians have been taken from here to work on the grading and steel-lay ing. Steel rails are being delivered to them every day. This road will open up a country which IS very rich in silver and gold, and which heretofore has been only partially worked, being handicapped by the long wagon haulage. It is con idently expected that the new road will be an impetus toward the develop ment of many valuable mining prop critics in that section.

SEARCH FOR ANDREE
The scandinavians Firmly Believe That the Lost Explorer
 Is sfiII Alive

It is said that Baron Nordenskjold has in his dining-room, at Stockholm, pho- tograph of the ascent of Andree's bal loon and an empty space beside it to which he pointed recently, as he said to q visitor:
 "A photograph of Andree's landing will be hung there, for am firmly con tinced that he will return
 His confidence is shared by Nansen and most other Scandinavians who have had experience in the arctic regions, and it is not surprising, therefore, to hear that they propose this season to continue their quest for the intrepid aeronaut. The leading search party will be under the command of Prof. Nathorst, who thinks it likely that An dree and his two companions, Strind- berg and Frankel, reached the coast of East Greenland and are still alive in that region, where they may be subsist- ing on musk oxen and other animals to be found there.
 The professor will accordingly start in June next and try to force passage through the ice barrier to the East Greenland coast. If Andree is there and was able to push on to Angmagsa- lik in G degrees north latitude, he is all right, for there is Danish station at that point among the most northern Eskimos of the east coast, and the sup ply ship would bring Andree home when she makes her annual visit next summer. So Nathorst will not visit that part of the coast, but will push much farther north, to Cape Bismarck if pos sible, and if he finds no trace of Andree there he proposes to go further north by sledge. The coast between Cape Bis marck and Independence bay has not been explored, and if the professor has occasion to make the proposed sledge journey he will have fine opportunity to fill in a long stretch of Greenlands s outline that is still unknown.
 Mir. Hammer, merchant of Chris tiania, is equipping, at his own expense, the steam whaler Recla for the journey, and money is now raising in Sweden for the other expenses of the expedition. Nathorst may find it necessary to win ter in Greenland, as the difficult naviga- tion in the ice-cholsed coast waters may prevent the return of his vessel this sea son.-Chicago Journal.

TKE San Francisco Examiner of May 28th has resume of the anti trust laws on the statute books of the vari- ous states, written by lawyer who has made a thorough analysis of the subject. Read and ponder:
 New York has special antitrust statutes, but admittedly ineffective.
 Massachusetts has specific antitrust laws; trusts do business there as they do in New York.
 The law in Indiana, enacted in 1897, the state authorities think worthless
 The Minnesota law imposes a penalty of from $l00 to $1,000 and imprison- ment from to 10 years on those who form a trust, passed in 1891, but there has never been prosecution.
 Louisiana prohibits foreign trusts from the state, but this does not pro- hibit. Several prosecutions are in pro- gress there at this time.
 Pennsyvania has no antitrust pro- visions.
 North Carolina's antitrust laws are not effective.
 Virginia has none; bill introduced in the last legislature was killed in Congress.
 Maine's antitrust law is very sweep ing, but is not effective in preventing trusts from doing business. And so ou in this way the story goes. What will be the finish?

Is it possible that some of the counties of the territory are doing nothing in the way of development of any kind? We scan the newspapers of certain counties, week after week, and year after year, without finding Q word of encouragement of any kind. Is the fault in the newspaper or in the county where they work ?-LHerald.
 In answer to the last part of the above item it might be said the fault lies neither with the newspaper or the county, but rather with the people who do not let their prosperity be known. Many are too prone to look only upon the dark side and prefer complaint to praise. If there is disaster or bad luck, accident or calamity, there is no lack of mention in the newspaper, for there is no difficulty in getting the news. But if all is well and prospects fair, nothing is said of it. In the face of this fact it is cheer ing to meet with man like II. N. Lewis, who in response to question, replies, ''I am much pleased with the result of my harvesting. The grain crop is far better than I had hoped for, really better than last year have harvested 50 acres and have about that much more to gather in. Am busy with the header for others"
 Sidney Bartleson says: "I find it the same with our fields, only am sorry that we cut what we did for hay i; would have done better to have cut all as grain"
 G. .AMcKenzies says: "This country is good enough for me. A man who can't make living here would fare poorly anywhere; am well satisfied with my crops this year"
 W.H. Beard, in addition to having one of the prettiest homes in the county, says: "We are having all the fine peaches, figs and apricots we want, with plenty to spare"
 Our freighters report plenty of busi- ness in bringing in an immense amount of freight; men are telling of strikes and developments, and Mineral Creek is going to be big camp, is what real miners say.
 1T further proof of good times is needed, in addition to these notes hastily gathered, here it is, Herald men, but don't tell of it, for it is given as a secret, that number of marriages are soon to take place in Pinal county and that is sure sign of prosperity.

The Kansas City Jour nal gives an account of an interview with D. Browne, representing the American Ex- ploration company, which makes in- teresting reading for Arizona. Mir. Browne said: 1T have just returned from Arizona and the mining distric ts were never in more prosperous con dition. New mines are being opened up and worked every day and the influx of outside capital is remarka ble. Our mines are productive of various ores, but copper mining is the most remunerative at present.

So far the peace conference assembled at the Hague has only accomplished the formal work attendant upon sue h gatherings. Committees and sub committees a-plenty, talk of disarma- ment, and hopes of a permanent ar bitration board, with discussions on modification of Russian and British proposals, have taken the time and breath of the delegates. h the mean time the war in the Philippines may be brought to a close without the help of the peace conference by the loss of the moving spirit on the side of the natives. Aguinaldo's death is reported, either by suicide or assassination, but the rumor is at this writing without confirmation.

One came and told me suddenly, Your friend is dead Last year she went T But many years my friend had spent In life's wide wastes, apart from me. And lately I had felt her near, And walked as if by soft winds famed, Had felt the touching of her hand, Had known she held me close and dear. And swift learned that being dead Meant rather being free to live. And free to seek me, free to give, And so my heart was comforted.

 The romantic rescue of Miss Cisneros from prison in Havana was one of the most thrilling incidents of the Cuban war for independence, accomplished by Mr. Carl Decker, and that true love match grew out or the misfostunes of the young daughter of the Antilles makes the recently arrived little one an object of peculiar interest to Cubans.
