The Santa Fe Road Will Take Charge ot
 the Line to Phoenix
IFrom the Albuquerque Citizen. ]


 lFrom the Albuquerque Citizen.
 The Santa Fe railroad will enter the city of Phoenix within the next 90 days, says the Arizona Daily Gazette. The Santa Fe, Prescott * Phenix railroad, locally known as the north and south line, is to be taken over by the parent organiza- tion and operated as part of the main line.
 This information is authentic and comes from the highest source of in- forna ton. Norton E. Ream and N. K. Fairbank of Chicago, and simon $. Muaphy of Detroit, who hold a majority of the bonds of the north and sensli road, were notified by the Santa Fe last month that the Santa Fe would foreclosc its option on the bonds an.l take possession at once.
 With the panic Of ls35 the Santa Fe was placed in a bad way financially, and for several years the road was il the hands of receiver. It could not render the financial assistance to the north and south road that it had been the intention of doing, but in order to eoDtrol the new road il endorsed the bonds by taking an option on them which it was privileged to take up at any time after the expiration of five years.
 Upon this endorsement by the Santa he. the gentlemen named above pur- chased the bonds, and the road was built. Recently complaints against the management of the road have been so numerous that the Santa Fe con cluded to take over the line.
 When the road was first built the people of southern Arizona hailed it as a great deliverer, but in short time it entered pool with the Marieopa < Phoenix and Southern Pacific. This has been especially noticeable the last few years and finally coming under the personal attention of President Ripley, that gentleman directed the legal de- partment to take steps 10 close the Santa Fe's option on the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix.
 When Frank Murphy went east 10 days ago it was given out that he had gone on aa extended trip for his health, but the fact is he went to close the details of the transfer of his road to the santa Fe.
 The north and south line will be con ductea as division of the Santa Fe proper, and it is expected that R. E. Wells will be retained as saperinteud- ent.

A Colossal swinaie.
lFrom the NoeaIes oasis.


 Last week we met q gentleman re- gently returned from Cape Nome and other parts of Alaska, who asserted most positively that the alleged rich mineral discoveries in that region have mostly been greatly magnifed, and that the wonderful finds are no more frequent and numerous than they were in Arizona, Sonora, Colorado, and else where, when those regions were virgin ground. He stated that the money re- ceived by transportation companies aloae for carrying people and merchan- disc into the frozen north will exceed by many millions the entire mineral output of Alaska. All the rich finds are magnifed, and glowing accounts thereof circulated far and wide to draw people to the region, to reacb which they must travel over the steamship lines of the transportation companies. Tn other words, the whole thing is a gigantic bunco game by which the steamship companies profit. Were private individual to resort to similar methods for obtaining money he would be jailed for false pretenses. The law can reach a single man, but it cannot reach 2 steamship company.

 IFrom the San Francisco Examiner.l
 The reports of the spring elections in Illinois show how rapidl ly voters in the cities and town are growing out of the partisan ideas that have been cultivated by generations Of politicians. Reports from ninety-two cities and towns of the 17th instant, show remarkable absence of reference to either Republi- cans or Democrats. Sixty-one of the cities reporting make 10 mention whatever of the National party desig- nations. Peoples" parties, "Citi- zens' parties, sLieense,7 s'No- License" and similar names are met, and in some instances no designations at all are given. Men were elected, not because of an organization, but be- cause they were trusted by their fel. low-citizens.
 Even in the thirty-one cities and towns in which Republicans and Demo. crats put up local tickets, a like growth of independence was shown. Twenty of these places elected mixed tickets leaving only eleven that "stood by tht party" In all other towns the voters chose their officers by their belief il their fitness to perform the duties and not by this party label.
 The American people are coming {, realize the absurdity of choosing mel to manage their streets and school aud hospitals according to the view they hold on the tariff, or the Philip pines, or the navy. They are ready t choose local officials according to thei position on local affairs, leavinI s. National affairs to be settled at th National elections.

A Washington dispatch says the President has vetoed the bill recently passed by Congress opening up the Navajo Indian reservation to miners. The dispatch adds that the bill was rushed through Congress without the officials of the interior department be- ing consulted. Only six years ago the reservation was extended, because these Indians, who in the past were very wariike, had become peaeeable and agriculturally inclined.

 The Prospector is informed that the Copper Queen Co. at Bisbee have opened up very rich body of ore in their new working shaft, that they are nov sinking upon the Spray mine. The fact that they have stuck any ore of consequence in this shaft is of it. self astonishing, for the company chose the spot upon which this shaft was started because it was believed that after much surveying, by their very competent corps of engineers, they would encounter ne ore here. They desired to have solid limestone all the way down, for the obvious reason that the shaft would be and remain more substantial than if sunk in ore thai n ight afterwards be worked out iron

The Canals of Eqypt.

The great system of canals which afford fertility 10 Egypt has been de veloped at an expense of fearful suffer ing and labor on the part of it's con structors. Many of the largest of the canals have been built by unpaid labor, or what is known as't hesscorgee. J When Mehemet Ali, at the beginning of the century, began the canals which to-day cut up the country, corvees of more than S00.O00 men were seen, drafted from every part of Egypt, digging the Mehmoudieh canal. At that time the labor demanded annually by this despotic power corresponded to the employment of 459 900 laborers for four months. The poor "fellahs" who were thus driven to onerous labors usually received thereby no benefit to their own lands. The methods em- ployed in excavatiag were the most primitive. The only tools used were the fass, kind of large hoe, and the conffin. basket woven from the stems of palms. The corvee was usually divided into diggers and carriers, and children frequently constituted the latter. The corvee was directed by none too gentle overseers. h the dig. ging of Egypt's canals, the lash has played an important part.

 They say there is an enterprising raneher-this isn't original-up in the Salt River valley who has solved the irrigation problem. He plants spuds and onions in alternate rows. When the onions grow up a little they are so strong they cause the potatoes eyes to water and that furnishes moisture to mature the crop. This same ingenious ranehele raises custard pies by cross ing the egg plant with the milk weed and sowing a little sugar over the ground when light rain comes.
