district, and for the further reason that two-thirds of the federal business originates on the reservation and near Globe, we are entitled to the court. The matter should be vigorously push ed. Only by urging our claims can we hope to have them recognized.- Globe Silver Belt.
 The amusement loving people of Globe were badly faked last Saturday night by the Dark Town aggregation of colored transformers from San Carlos, calling themselves minstrels. It was the rankest exhibition it has ever been our misfortune to witness. The house was packed to the doors and the audience was so paralyzed by the performance that it was speeches., without the power to protest.-Globe Silver Belt.
 About twenty members of the Twenty-ifth infantry and the Ninth cavalry, who have been located at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., passed through the city last night on their way home after having received their discharges. They stated that they returned by the northern route for the reason that those who had previously gone by the southern, reported that they had been the recipients of insults and abuse across the entire state of Texas.-AI- DQquefQuo C1UlZen.

 A rumor has reached the Bulletin that standard guage railroad is be- ing talked of, to run from Morenci to SolOmOnville. This railroad proposi4 tiOn has been talked of many times before, but the amount of busi- ness for such a line now, is stated to be more than double what it ever was in the past. The road would of course be built by Phelps, Dodge & company of New York, the owners of the great copper mine and reduction works at Morenci. The building of this road would be great benefit to this valley. Then we would be connected by rail with the two great copper districts Of southern Arizona-Clifton and Globe Nothing definite, however, has been learned concerning this enterprise Solomonville Bulletin.
 We all went to see the golden spike driven. The train rolled majesticaIly down Pinal creek at President Gar lands expense and when it approached the smelter the whistle blew as loud as though we were pulling into the Union depot in Chicago. We then got off and walked out to where the afore- said ''yaller" spike was in evidence. There were about 200 folks there to see it driven, and just after dark there were about five hundred on the same ground to see if it was pulled out. It seems it was pulled out to keep the dear public from finding out that it was an electroplate nine karat speci- men. It was driven into an auger hole two sizes too big for it by a young lady with a tack hammer, and as it went smoothly down to the head Bill Ran som remarked: That augurs well for the future of Globe. e."-SolomonvilIe Bulletin.
 Judge Edward Vanderlip is in Tue son from the Harshaw mining district. He has suffered with the grip during the winter and he comes here to rest and recuperate. Judge Vanderlip says that surveys are now in progress from three points on the Southern Pacific to Washington camp, and a railroad will be built probably this year. The road will leave the Southern Pacific at either Crittenden, Rolin or Elgin, the greatest distance being from Elgin, which is 40 miles, and the shortest is from Rolin, 20 miles, but the latter route contains some difficult grades. The ROlin route would tap several rich mines, such as Frank Powers Worlds Fair mine and the French and MOWry mines and would open up a large scope of mining country. Harshaw, says Judge Vanderlip, is very quiet, very little working being done there.-Tuc- son Citizen.
