in various parts OF the United Safes,
passed through here this week on his
way 10 Clifton and various places in
the southern part OF Arizona and in
Old Mexico. dis object was TO map
out line for railroad from Durango,
Col. TO the mining camps Of Southern
Arizona and Old Mexico. In az inter-
view with Mr.. Wigglesworth We
learned that the prospect for road
from Durango i good, and 1t Is quite
sure Of being built II the remainder OF
the way be any where near as good as
that which he had passed over
The ERA is informed that Mr.. Wig
ellsworth found that the proposed road
could be built much cheaper than he had
anticipated. and he also found that
the grade of the road would be much
less than many roads now operating In
Colorado and Arizona. The general
average Of the grade would be about
/! per cent and would seldom go as
high as > per cent. Mr.. Wigglesworth
was met at Clifton by John a. Porter,
a Denver capita list, and also by Charles
E. Mcconnell. banker of Durango,
who are interested in The building of
the new road. These gentlemen had
just returned from Bisbee and the low
err camps OF the territory. and were
more than agreeably surprised at the
vast volume of business which could
be secured to such road in this Sec
ton. Durango furnish the finest
coke and coal in thef Fest, and the
building of the propo II line would
no doubt cheaper thiSllommodity to
the consumers of this section, besides
opening up new field for mining tim
bers. AS the ERA understands it the
Colorado people are most DESTROYS of
making some arrangements with the
A. & n. NJ. and the Southwestern r. r.
whereby the lines could work in har-
mony with each other Such an ar
rangement would give the Durango
people an outlet for their coke, coal
and timber supplies to Clifton, Morenci,
Pearce, Gleason, Tombstone, Bisbee,
Naco and Cananea, which is really the
big end OF the mining district of the
territory. 1t would also give them 2
new, and much more direct line, into
FL Paso, which is also q heavy consum-
err of the supplies named.

In another column will be found the
advertisement of the Federal Crude
Oil company of Beaumont. Before &C
cepting this advertisement, which was
offered some two weeks ago, the man
agement OF this paper addressed a let
ter of inquiry TO perhaps the most
prominent law firm in east Texas,
f. j. & Il. G. Duff, and from them
received the assurance that the FEEDER
al Oil company was all that it repre-
land was perfect which is more than
can be said OF many of the companies
operating around Beaumont. There
are SO many fake oil companies operat-
ing that the ERA took this precaution
in order to protect its patrons from
that kind of sharpers. That is what a
newspaper is for. After investigating
the matter the ERA has no hcsitancy
in recommending it as n Legitimate en-
terpriSe conducted by honest and con-
sentative men. The president and
treasurer of the company is d. \. Dun
can, cashier and director of the Beau
mont National Bank. In fact all OF the
officers Of the company are among the
most prominent business men of east
Texas. There is no fake about this
company, and it will push its wells.
Should it strike oil its stock will likely
at once double in value several times
within very short time. Those who
wish to speculate in oil can receive this
stock by calling on, or addressing G..

The recent sale of the South Bisbee
Copper company's property TO the
Tarsis company OF Glasgow for 81, 800
600, brings to mind the fact that this
property was offered to the Copper
Queen company only a few years ago
for $1,000. OF course a large amount of
development work has been done on
the property since that time. This
only goes TO confirm the old saying
that no man can see into the ground.
The claims were considered absolutely
valueless when located, but now Mr.. g.
s. Pitcairn, an expert whose reputa-
tion extends around the earth, is will
ing to take them at two and a half
millions, and it is quite likely that I'M
der his able management the property
will increase in value many fold during
che next few years. In this the pros
pector can find much encouragement.
He should not be cast down because
lis property is not considered of value
by mining men. In fact almost every
mine of any real worth in the territory
today has been turned down by prom
inent experts in years past. The thing
for the prospector TO do is TO develop
his property just as rapidly as possible.
The prospector who has energy and
who works is the man who makes the
money. The man who lays around
and does nothing, has nothing to show
and therefore his property is not con-
sidered desirable.

The deceased was wood chop
per, and in company with another
Mexican left the camp about a week
before the finding Of the body, hunting
burros, each carrying a winchester.
After they had been gone a few days
the Mexican for whom they were work
ing became alarmed over their absence
and commenced hunting for them. II
seems that the companion Of deceased
was first to give notice Of the killing.
He told someone that his partner had
been killed, after which he left the
country, and has not since been heard
from. II is said that beef which had
been quartered was found a short dis
lance from the body, which is consid-
cred significant.
The ERA has been frequently in
formed that cattle are being killed in
all parts Of the county by woodchoppers,
and the stockmen generally are getting
pretty tired of it. 1t is said that every
camp of Mexican woodchoppers are
well supplied with Jerkey, and the
stockmen are on the lookout for those
who kill the cattle.

SOLDIERS LOVE TOBACCO.
Men Who Have Lighted Pipes During
Bloody Battles.

Most IF the distinguished officers
of the world hold that whatever
comforts the soldier on active serV-
Ice may be deprived Of he should
on no account be stinted in the
matter of tobacco, and in the gray
est Of histories relating to the
Franco-Prussian war it is stated
that the total want of even tobacco
to make cigarettes of among the
French troops on many occasions
did not little to dispirit them.
Private Jones, who obtained the
Victoria cross at Rorke's Drift,
said that in the very thick Of the
fight several comrades lighted their
pipes with blazing fragments Of
wood from the wooden hospital
which had been fired by the Zulus,
and at Majuba Hill one of the men
was found dead with the stump of
q cigar between his clinched teeth.
Amid the awful carnage of the Rus
so-Turkish war Turks horribly man
gled were frequently found smok-
ing in the midst of their agony and
altering no sound Of complaint.
Mr.. Archibald, Forbes, the great
war correspondent, has told how
before Metz, in the Franco-P russian
war, soldier terribly wounded
craved but one relief, a cigar, and
lie observed Soldiers firing. away at
