Engineer Wisslesworth's Report.

Durango, Colo. Democrat, Jpne 2l.l
 Thomas II. Wigglesworth returned from tour of inspection of the sec ton lying between Durango and Cliff ton, Arizona, yesterday His trip GOV cred several hundred miles and gave him an accurate idea of the resources along the route. He found no coal after leaving Durango, the best in sight was an indifferent article of liz nite from Gallup, N. M., south. He found much in the way of timber, some agriculture, plenty of wool, a lake of salt and booming country around Clifton, Bisbee and other points along his route. He found lumb Der selling at s60 per thousand, and Alabama blacksmith coal at $40 per ton, ordinary coal SI3 to $15 per ton. He says an immense smelling business is being conducted at Clifton, Arizona, and two other plants are to oC SOhetl ucOru ndkinp Ol ludO Cd dulp the leading smelting point in that ter ritory. At St. Johns he found a heavy wool and sheep traffic, and at Morenci thrifty mining and smelling camp. In short, Mir. Wigglesworth says he saw much in the way of business ac- tivity all along the line and was sur prised at the magnitude of smelling and business at Clifton, and as far south as BiSbee, which is on the Gads- den purchase, near the Old Mexico line. He saw great and perpetual market for Durango coal and lumber and short cut to the gulf and coas. trade. He had a pleasant trip, walked over some parts of the route. He is pleased with the country, the resources, and the ease and economy with which a road can be constructed from Durango to Clifton, Arizona.

National Aid to irrigation.
From the Phoenix Gazette.

From the Phoenix Gazette.l
 The outlines of the project for na- tional aid to irrigation are gradually taking shape and by the time congress convenes the friends of irrigation will have agreed upon the exact principles of the bill to be introduced. Such agreement is essential to success. Eastern congressman will not interest themselves in subject upon which those urging action are not agreed, ani no progress is likely until there is virtual .unanimity ill the arid states. To effect this there has been meeting of engineers and irrigation experts at Cheyenne, called with the view of har- monizing any differences of opinion which may exist and drafting meas ure whose passage all friends of irri- gation may unite in urging.
 The fundamental principle upon which all are now apparently agreed is that the proceeds of the sales of public lands in the arid states, not pledged to other uses, shall be appro- priated to the reclamation of arid lands within these states. It will be impossible for anyone to attempt to dispute the justice of such. action. No one will claim that it is right for the general government to sell these lands and carry away .he money that is needed to develop the states from which it is taken. Another feature which seems to meet with no objection is that when irrigation works are con
 structed their cost shall be spread over the land reclaimed by them, which shall be sold to settlers at the result ing prices, and the proceeds turned back into the arid land reclamation fund. It is also agreed that all such works shall be devised and constructed with reference to reclaiming all land which the water can properly irrigate, shall be built on plans approved d 1 Washington, under the supervision Q

TREASURY BALANCE.
An Extraordinary Record in the Face
 of Heavy Expense of Two Wars.

WAsHINGToN, June 30-With the present week, the fiscal year of the government closes. and Uncle Sam will close a set of books showing the most prosperous period in his history. The treasury statement, to be issued Dext week when all the figures are all in, will show that during the fiscal year which epds Saturday night, the receipts of the government have ex- ceeded the expenditures by about $77,- O00,000. This slowing, two years after foreign war and while the expensive results of that war were still in evil dence, is believed to be unequaled in the financial history of any nation.
 The treasury balance sheet will show receipts of about $587 ,000, ,oo0 and expenditures of $5l0,OO0,0 ,000 Tnis sur plus of $77 100000 is in the face of ex- traordinary expenditures for army and navy, as well as for the civil admins tration of the colonial territories. The repeal of certain portions of the War Revenue Act will cost the government about $40 900, QUO annually, so that next year the surplus will not be over $35,- 00C, ,000, and probably less. as govern ment expenses constantly increase while receipts gain but slowly.
 
 While the treasury department is gloating over its record for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901, the ad ministration is prepared to shout still more over the marvellous development of the foreign trade of the United States. The figures will show bal anee of trade in favor of the United States of about $675, ,000, 900, or about Sl45, ,000, eco more than for the previous year.
 Whatever foreign critics may say, they cannot explain away that this fiscal year tue United States has sold abroad of our domestic merchandise mo-e than two-thirds of billion of dollars worth greater than the cost of the foreign merchandise brought in- to thus country. No matter how much the balance may be liquidated, this little matter of two-thirds of billion of dollars will be on the eight side of Uncle Sam's ledger tomorrow after | noon

ARIZONA CENTRAL. New Railway May Mean Another
 Trans Continental Line.
IFrom the phoenix tiazette. ]


 From information gathered yesser- day 1t is learned that the proposed rail way from Benson to Phoenix will be called the Arizona Central. The road will be nearly POO miles in length, be- ginning in the northern part of Cochise county and running through the San Pedro valley to point near the june tion of the Gila and San Pedro rivers 1; thencs along the Giia river to Florence, Final county. From this place it will take northwesterly direction to Mesa. coming on to Phoenix through Tempe. It will be seen that the road is figur- ed to run through the richest section of the territory. In the San Pedro valley an abundance of artesian water has been found, and now that produc CTS will be able to reach ready mar ket, it is likely that the agricultural importance of Coehise and Pinal coun- ties will greatly increase. The pro- posed line will pass through several lively mining camps, that are now put to disadvantage by poor transporta- tion facilities. Given close connection with the outer world, they will become much larger. Other properties that cannot be worked under present con- ditions will be opened up, and increase the revenue of every one concerned.
 The company is capitalized for s4,- 100000, and is controlled by foreign and eastern capitalists. The directors are William G. Tiffany rnd Baron Gaston Fonternilliat of Paris. G. S. Pitcairn of Scotland, Nj. II. Twoney and J. Il. Martin of Tucson.
 The building of this railroad brings but the possibility of third tran ns- continental line. When finished there will be a complete connection between the east and Phoenix outside of the two lines now operating in the terri tory. Starting with the Rock Island we have the following connections Fl Paso and Northeastern, Bisbee road, Southwestern and Arizona South western. This brings the line close to Benson. From there the Arizona Central will come to Phoenix. While there is no evidence that anything of the kind is contemplated, there is good reason to think that the line will be continued to some California point.
 An inquiry made at the Nj. & P. oi- flee yesterday brought out the answer that the proposed railroad was news to them. This in measure does away with the Southern Pacific being inter. ested in the project, which some thought might be the case.

COLOR OF PERSONALITY.
General Impression of Others.

What do you think of her?' asked the man, as he and the girl looked to- gether at a drawing in one of the il- frustrated magazines, according to the New York Sun. For answer the young woman took up pencil and wrote across the top of the page: "She is very distinctly lavender"
 What do you mean?" said the man. 'sThe drawing looks to me very much as though it were done in back and white"
 "Of course." said the young woman. out I mean the real girl of whom that is the picture. always sum up people in terms of color. The general impress sion which anyone makes upon me- their look, talk and whole personality, is summed up for me in color. This. is the only way in which 1 can con ceive general impression of person. Just as soon as 1 meet new persons and talk with them half minute they be- come for me yellow, or scarlet, or vio- let, or some other color. As for that, names have color just as much as any thing else. Florence, of course, must make anyone think of thick red plush.
 ITO see things in this way, of course, color has got to have, in itself, per sonality, and I dare say that my color personalities are quite different from yours. But that is another question and very complex one" --

Finds ArnoId,s Shin.

BURLINGTON. VT, June 25.-The re mains of the American revolutionary war ship, the schooner Royal Savage, were found at the bottom of Lake Champlain to-day by J. G. Falcon, the Chicago diver. The ship was corl- manded by Benedict Araold and was sunk by the British in 1776. >,Falcon hns already secured a valuable lot of relics, including three gun carriages aud thirty cannon balls and shot, and has not finished his work of investiga- tion. The wreck is said to contain very valuable quantity of treasure and, what is most interesting of all, the private papers of Benedict Arnold. These will be searched for in the future investigations of the diver. The relics thus far secured were found in thirty feet of water. Two of the gun carriages, which were built of iron and oak, will be sent to the Smithson- ian Institution. The wooden part ia now petri6ed. The remainder of the relics will be presented to the City of Burlington.

Oil.

Where or when did oil originate? ? Where does it come from now? How long will the supply last and many other such questions are being perpet- ually asked by those moved to invest in the business of prospecting for the fluid. The National Oil Reporter, dis cussing the origin of oil, makes some interesting points; it says:
 "The scientists are all at sea as to the origin of the oil that is found in sands in nearly all parts of the coun- try It has no relation to coal deposits, being found in California, where tl.ere IS no coal, and ia Texas, where there IS none nearer than Alabama, and in oiher States wholly disconnected with coal fields.
 It is pointed out that, to make that search for it's origin difficult, every oil field and almost every we'll yields an oil of different nature. No two sands produce similar oil. The oils of Rus sia Java and Peru are each and all alike. The oils of Texas are as unlike those of California as those of Califor. mia are unlike those of Pennsylvania. The oil from one stratum in well is unlike the oil from another stratum in the same well. All this confuses she investigators, and they are full oi

Reflection of the Sun on New Tinware

none of which are satisfac-

theories, none of which are satisfac- tory,
 "Some say the oil of the wells comes from the fact of fish or animals dis titled through countless ages and col lected in the oil sands, which, by the way, are rocks. Certain it is that good kerosene can be distilled from fish oil and even from olein. The Russian oils disclose some evidence of veg etable origin, thus bringing them into line with coal.
 But still another theory discards all such sources and attributes the pres ence of oil in the earth to heat in some stage Of the earth's formation. These theorists claim that the limestone and shales under high heat will yield oil.
 Some thus say the oil Is of animal origin, others that it Is of vegetable origin, while others say it is mineral and springs from heat. Each school has its supporters, and they are far apart and no one of them has very much to fall back upon. The question is an open one and the finding of oil in all parts of the world serves to keep it open, and no one anticipates an early settlement of it. The oil is in the earth, and that is about all that we know about it."

Porter treated him royalty, took him into his private office and. entertained him for several hours. Finally he had his arrangements for his Globe ware house all settled and asked Mir. Porter for $50. drawing on his deposit here. This Mir. Porter gave him but was a little suspicious at the time and tele- graphed here, but received satisfsc- tory answer. Before leaving Globe he spent a night at Nesbitt's wine room where he drew checks to. the amount of $500 on the Bank of Stafford and these were endorsed by Chas. Nesbitt.
 Next morning the gentleman took the train for Stafford, but when it ar- rived here he was evidently asleep, for he has not shown up here since. Short- ly after this the bank at Roswell in- formed the bank at Stafford that the draft would be good but for the fact that Mir. Mendenhall had DO funds in the bank. The matter was pla.ed in the hands of officers and the swindler was arrested at Hereford, Texas, where he stopped under an alias.

FAMILY NAME IS WETTIN.
Plain Cognomen of New Ruler of the British Empire, King Edward
 the Seventh.

What is the family name of the new king of England? It is always hard to differentiate this name from among the personal or hereditary accumula- tions of titles which grouped them- selves around the baptismal name af- fected by royalty.
 But the same principle which de-. elares William of Germany to be Ho- henzollern and Francis Joseph of Aus tra to be a Hapsburg would make the late Queen Victoria Guelph by birth, and her husband, the prince consort. Victim. If royal wife takes her husbands name and royal son his fla ther's, then Edward VII is Ncttin.
 Prince Albert. his father, was B prince of the ruling house of Saxe-Co- burg. one of the most ancient and illus trious of the sovereign families of Et- rope. says the Baltimore Sun. Original y. counts of Victim, the heads of this family, became by inheritance and by marriage margravcs of Meissen. land- graves of Thuringia and electors of Saxony.
 It was through the misfortunes of AIbert's ancestor, John Frederick the Magnanimous, that the direct line which he represented was shorn of fhe sovereignty of Saxony other titular glories, which Emperor Charles Y. transferred to John Frederick cousin, Duke Maurice of Meissen..

A Sick Artist.

The Stafford Guardian gives the fol- lowing account of bank swindle at that place
 During the latter part of May well dressed, stylish looking man got off the train at Stafford and immediately started in to make friends of every. body. His name is Fred G. Menden- hall; his home is Roswell, N. Nj. He was congenial cuss, good talker great deal of the world, but who will probably see but very little of it again for some time to come.
 After making the acquantance of all the bank officials and telling them where in different places he knew a number of their friends, he sauntered into the bank on the 1st of June and deposited draft on the Roswell First National Bank as a credit to himself. For the next three or four days he proceeded to make himself agreeable with the boys and to bargain for all the best town lots that were for sale. It was during that time that the trou- bic rose over high freight rates on hay out of the valley and he gave it out that he was going to build immense hay storage houses at Stafford, Solomon vile, Thatcher and Pima, and buy the valleys crop and hold the hay until the rate was lowered and the demand for it be urgent, when he would real. ize a handsome profit. During the time these plans were maturing he con ceived the idea that large warehouse at Globe would also be necessary and therefore he went to tue bank and drew $l50.00 for expenses. In the meantime the draft had been sent to the bank at Roswell but no returns had yet been received.
 He went to Globe and got into the good graees of J. N. Porter by telling : him of long acquaintance with some of J. Ms best friends in the east. Mr
