copper ore. The surveying party
reports the country through which

Commenting editorially on the

the Grand Canon in Arizona The
proposed railroad will pass Aztec,
Pennington, cross the Navajo In,

owned by Pittsburg people, and
then cross the northeastern corner
Of Arizona to a connection with the
Grand Canon railroad from Will
liams, now being completed. This
will give Pennington and Aztec
their long hoped for railroad, but
its benefits, as far as New Mexico
/ is concerned, will be vastly les.

Information of a projected rail-
road from Southwestern Colorado
to Arizona via San Juan county
comes in the following article from
the Santa Fe New Mexican Like
other recent railroad projects, it is
is as yet only on paper:
There are indications that a rail
road will be extended from a point
on the Denver and Rio Grande
near Durango to the northeast cor
ner of Arizona, one purpose being
to open the rich mineral deposits at
the Arizona terminus A party of
surveyors has arrived in Flagstaff
after running a line of survey
through the southeast corner OF
Utah and Navajo Indian reserva-
ton of Arizona between Mesa La
Vance and Squaw mountain. The
route includes in Arizona rich but
undevoloped coal reign. The sur
vey passes a REGION of rich copper
deposits on the Navajo reservation
controlled by Pittsburg capitalists.
It is significant that the survey is
being carried through the Navajo
reservation at a time when there i,
talk Of opening the reservation tC
mining. The Pittsburg people
have shown signs Of actively recent
ly, as though they had determined
to dev elop their holdings. 1t il

Climatic Conditions.

A correspondent Of an eastern paper
writing from Albuquerque Of conditions
that obtain in New Mexico, says; The
territory Of New Mexico is Of great
extent when compared with our New
England states. It extends from Colo
rado on the north to old Mexico and
Texas on the south, vast region Of
lofty mountains and broad plains. The
altitudevaries from 1000 to 1900 feet,
the general average being about 5000
above sea level The southern line Of
the territory is very nearly in tho same
latitude as the northern line Of Florida.
It is rather sparsely settled, except
along the lines Of railroad, and the
population in many sections consists
mostly Of Mexicans.
To those afflicted with lung and
throat diseases, New Mexico offers
very favorable climatic conditions

Albuquerque is the leading city and
commercial center Of the southwest.
The altitude Of the city is 4,925 feet
Its location. near the center of the
vast rainless districts aud it's remote
ness from any large body of water,
gives it an atmosphere almost totally
devoted Of moisture and its altitude,
latitude, and other favorable conditions
cause it to have about the purest air
in the world. Fresh meat may be
hung up in the sun here without fear Of
becoming tainted but will be cured

Last Saturdays issue of the Denver
Post commented on the prospects for gold
on the San Juan as follows; "As spring
approaches, placer miners and prospsc-
tors are beginning to show marked
activity, hence the usual crop Of strikes
comes in to enIiyen the situation after
the long winter. Now cOmes a renewal
Of reports from the old grove Of buried
hopes along the San Juan river near
Pennington, N. M. It is about six or
seven years since the last upheayal oc-
Cured along the banks of that classic
stream George A. jackson aud his CON
ferees gave some very bewitehing ae-
counts Of gold to be found there. Sever
al hundred prospectors rushed in, great
excitement prevailed, masses Of people
went from Denver, Leadville, Durango,
aud other points, but there were diff
culties in getting it. 1t is a good gold
reigon or will he when attacked by cap
ital sufficient to overcome the obstruc-
tions, but not exactly poor mans camp.
A recent dispatch from Santa Fe states
that three or four prospectors have Sunk
six shafts from II to % feet deep. and
gold taken from them yielded $20106
per ton. They think that cyanide will
save 80 per cent OF the values, while the
ordinary milling process will gather only
about 60 per cent, This sounds as il it
came from the hills Of West Mancos,
which are near the San Juan. The
Post published an account OF the mines
in that quarter some months ago"

he calls them the "Just So" stories
for be has interwoYen more inimitable
humor into his account Of the way by
which the armadillos came into being,

Frankfort, KY, Aug. 28,-The
Legislature convened in extra ses-
sion today. After the reading of
Gov. Beckham's message both
houses adjourned until tomorrow,
The Democrats are to a man in
favor of an absolute partisan
election law, and they propose to
amend the present law with that
end in view. The Republicans
want the present law repealed,
and the old law re-enacted. The
Democrats claim that they will be-
able to control both house, while
the Republicans and Brown Dem
ocrats claim that they will at least
be able to block legislation in the
Senate.

Two hOrsemen Stop a Buggy, but Be.
come Frightened and Flee.

Tuesday evening about 8 o.
clock as Mr.. A. Zitf and Mrs. Rel
ter were driving along the public
road in buggy about n mile and
II half from Fredonia, two horse
men dashed up, one on each side
Of the buggy, and grabbed the
reins, stopping the vehicle. Upon
turning around and seeing two
persons in the buggy, they put
spurs TO their horses and fled. Mrs
Reiter came over Monday to draw
some money from the bank. She
came alone in the buggy and the
supposition is that the parties
knew of her coming and the OBJ
ject of her trip, and expecting her
to return alone, planned to get the
money, but when they discovered
n man in the buwgy with her they
fled.

plainly show that the negro who
