Ninety Miles an Hour.
From the National Land List.l

From the National Land List.l
 A speed of ninety miles per hour was recently made by the Black Dia- mond Express Of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The train consisted of four Pullman cars and an Atlantic" type engine. The train was thirteen mia utes late at Rochester Junction, and on the run to Manchester an attempt to make up the lost time was made, and was more than accomplished. On one section of the road distance of 5.1 miles was made in exactly 3.4l. For the last 800 feet of that distance brakes were applied, slowing down for train order board. The first four and three quarters miles, by actual blueprint measurement, were run in S03 This speed was timed by three watches, which never left the hands of the men holding them. The total dis tance was covered at aD average rate of eighty eight miles an hour, and the rate for the first four and three-quar- ters miles was exactly ninety miles per hour. On the same run the dis tauce between Rochester Juno ton and Manchester, 20.1 miles, was covered in 1910. This time was taken from a standing start at Rochester Junction to full stop at Manchester, the speed being reduced to rate of twenty-five miles an hour through the Manchester yards.

New Counties. 5.
From the Tucson star.l

Three new counties will be carved out of some of the old ones. Yavapai will contribute one county with Je- rome as the county seat. Graham will contribute it's eastern end to the formation of new county with Cliff ton as the seat. Cochise and Graham will contribute another county with Wilcox us the seat, and perchanee a new county will be carved from west ern Maricopa and Western Pima and Yuma, with Gila Bend as the county seat. These places are all ripe for new counties. They are able to sup port home governments, and should be given the opportunity So to do, if desired. Home rule is as desirable for people in isolated localities of the territory, as it is for the territory which is claiming the right to state hood.

TIE report of Governor Murphy to the Secretary of the Interior, for the year 1900, contains the following rec ommendation:
 am earnestly in favor of Federal aid for meritorious water-storage en- terprises, and l believe it to be the duty of the Government to construct reservoirs or aid by appropriation their construction in specifically favor able places. A reservoir site situated on the Gila River, near San Carlos In- dian Reservation, is acknowledged by all who have examined it officially and otherwise to be especially well adapted for the purpose of water storage. Engineers of the Government, after exhaustive examinations, have re- ported favorably upon it. The direct financial interests of the Government are affected for If water is stored and furnished to the Indians it will not be necessary to appropriate large sums annually for their support, and in this case much of the public domain could be reclaimed and occupied by white settlers. I earnestly recommend the construction of the so-called San Carlos dan. and a suitable appropria- tion by Congress therefor.

An Arizona Legislator Talks.


 Hon. George r. Blair was in Ei Paso last week. He gave out an interview to the Times of that city which will be interesting reading to Arizona people i because of the fact that MT. Blair is to | become Il member of the territorial council which meets on the 2lst of l this month. He said
 In the legislature I shall, as a min ing man, be on the lookout for the min ing interests of the territory. One of the chief measures we shall have to work against is the proposed bullion tax law in which it is proposed to tax the bullion output of all mines a cer- tain per cent. Tie measure is urged by some of the farming and sheep in- terests. It would be utterly ruinous to the growth of the great mining il- dustry of Arizona and would compel the closing down of all low grade mines, us the per cent would destroy all the profit. Only the very high grade ore producers could staua 1t, and it would close up the greater part of the mines in Arizona and stop the open ing of new ones. I do not, however, anticipate that it will be passed, as we have safe majority of mining men in the council and they will never con sent to it's passage.
 'There are a number of other mat ters that will of course come up that will be of interest, but just what, it is difficult to say at present. Of course, we shall make an effort for statehood. l We ought to have it and we are entitled to it. hardly think we will get it at 1 this session of congress. but next time we will try again and I believe will succeed. No l do not think the fact that the territory went democratic will influence the matter very much. New Mexico wentrepubliean, and they are iu the same position as we are in regard to statehood. um myself democrat.
 Arizona has made great progress and will make still greater in the future. The mining industry has never been in so prosperous condition us at present, and it is steadily grow ing all the time. The mineral re-  sources of the territory are simply unsurpassed anywhere, and what is needed is development. That this is true and that it is realized by the min ing men is shown by the fact that Senator ". 4. Clarke, the Montana copper king, has just refused an offer of 500, 900 for his United Verde at Jerome. This is only the beginning of our growth, and venture to prophecy that within another ten years there will be 100000 people in Arizona.v

It is not generally known, bat it is true, that the railroad now being built near Bisbee is the nroperty of the Rock Island company. This company is HOW engaged in building line of road 10 the coast either to Guaymas or South ern California, or both, and the road now being constructed by Robinson & Toohey will connect with the Rock Is land road at Fl Paso and form a through line to tine coast. This is one of the great trunk lines of the repub- lie and it's building through Arizona will be of great benefit to this terri tory.-I Phoenix Gazette
 If it should be built from Benson, through Mammoth, Kelvin, Florence and Phoenix it would be the best paying line in the territory for local traffic, and would have the easiest grade.

THAT insignificant streak of damp ness known as the Casa Grande Valley canal is now the only obstacle in the way of a liberal appropriation by Con gress for commencing work on the San Carlos dam. A price has bean put upon it beyond all reason, which has again been stumbling block in the way of the Senate Committee on In- dian Affairs, the members of which earnestly desire to do something for us. If ever a country was cursed, it has been by that miserable canal and its incompetent management. A thou sand times better off would we be without it.

ALFRED PACKARD, the man eater, whose trial caused such sensation in Colorado several years ago, was par doned by Gov. Thomas on the first of the year. Packard and five compan- ions were prospecting in the noun tains of Colorado eighteen years ago and were caught by blizzard. Their food soon gave out, and after suffering all the horrors of hunger and cold four of the men died. The two survivors lived off the flesh of their dead com pan;ons for weeks, and then, it is claimed by Packard, the other man be- came insane and made murderous attack upon him and that to save his own life he shot tue man dead. He lived for month off the dead man, and the weather then moderating, succeeded in getting to the nearest town. He was arrested, and public sentiment was so strong against cani- balism that Packard was found guilty of murder and sentenced to forty years in the state penitentiary at Canyon City. Many efforts havssbeen made to obtain the pardon of Packard, bat all failed until Gov. Thomas exercised executive clemency.

When discussing Arizona mines

When discussing Arizona mines it might he well to remember that the United Verde, the Copper Queen, the Congress, the Toughnut, the Clifton and the Vultere mines in this terri tory were all condemned by mining experts. Professor Douglas, who is now at the head of tue Copper Queen, condemned that property years ago. He also put his condemnation seal up- on the United Verde of Jerome. Yet these are two of the worlds great mines. This is only an exemplifieation of how far an expert can look into a solid wall of rock. A mining expert is like newspaper man. He thinks he knows 2 whole lot, when as mat ter of fact, he only fools himself = IGazette.

Statehood in the Dim Distance.

PHoENIx, Jan. l4.-Governor Mur- phy returned to Phoenix to-day after an absence of six weeks, in which he and other Arizona representatives were in Washington feeling the pulse of Congress with regard to statehood for this Territory. The Governor says that early in the session the statehood advocates entertained little hope of se- curing admission this session, because of the crowd of more important meas ures in Congress and because the Dele gate from Oklahoma, which has pre- sented more claims for admission than any of the other territories, manifest ed nc disposition to press his demands this session. A majority of both houses, according to the Governor, favor early admission, and he believes Arizona $ claims will be acted upon favora bly, next session.
