ERA OF RAILROADS
Railway Construction of Arizona Ex
 ceeds Early Expectations

New facts constar ly are coming to light which give evidence of The Re publican's statement more than a month ago that an era of railroad building was about to dawn in Ari- zona, even more remarkable than the first rumors themselves indicated. There was no conception at the time rumors began of plans for a railroad to be built by Phelps Dodge Co. of New York, of the scope of thalt enter prise. The first belief was that the New York company intended constructing a railway from the Lordsburg, N. M., terminus of the Arizona and New Mex leo road to Deming, N, M., and finally the news spread that the road was go- ing to Fl PasO, a railroad competitive point. The Arizona and New Mexico now connects the MOrenci mines with the southern Pacific. The Arizona and Southwestern which is the name of the corporation building the road for Phelps, Dodge X Co, will extend the line also tO Bisbee and branch from Douglass on that route and on the United States Mexico international line to the corporations rich copper mines al Nacosori, Mex, will be com pleted wh,hin two months. The balance of the system may not be completed until next spring on account of some difficult grading and because the South ern Pacific is not exerting itself to aid a rival company by rapid transit of it's supplies.
 The system thus far described shows clever plan to tap vast copper re- gions with new railways in such a way that the mines will have direct com munlcation over their own lines with a railway competitive point, rendering the cost of transporting bullion and supplies and machinery much cheaper. But behind this is believed to be con cealed the fine hand of the Goulds These capitalists have long wanted to control an outlet to the Pacific coast and Gould himself drew the first plans and went so far as to grade loo miles out of El Paso, paralleling the South ern Pacific in the direction Or the Pa cihc coast. The Southern Pacific se- cured an agreement when Gould died that he Rock Island, his railroad, should nd, attempt to push on west for for fifty years, and in return the South ern Pacific made concessions concern ing traffic over it's lines The promin- ence of oriental trade, however. tempts the Rock Island to reach for it over its own lines, and there is little if any doubt that that concern has a hand in the construction of railway links through New Mexico and Arizona by subsidiary companies. the ultimate pur- pose being to reach the ocean. This desire was furthered by the plans of

FARMS IN ARIZONA
They Number Nearly coco and Are
 Worth S29,OOOOOO.

Washington, Aug. 2.-AeCording to a bulletin issued by the census bureau to- day, there are 5SO9 farms in Arizona, .wf,h a total acreage of l,935,327 acres, of which 254,521 are Improved. or these farms l7G9 are owned by Indians. In 1890 there were only lOi,l2S acres of improved land in the territory In 1890 the average size of farms was 9lO acres anI in 1900 iGS acres. The to al value of the farm land with improvements, implements and live stock is placed at S29, ,9OG, SIT. The increase in farm Wealth for the decade amounted to l62 per cent. of the total number there are seventy one farms of more than lU"o acres and Sl4 of less nan three agres
 About half of the latter class belong to Indians. of the total investment in farms over half, or Sl5,4jS 7l1, was in live stock. The number of live stock is placed at GO7. 45i, and of sheep at CGS,i1
 The repor, shows that of the lotu area of the territory little more than one third of one per cent is improved. During the last decade 545 miles of irri- gation ditches We're constructed d, a cost of Sl, ,50S. .469. The prediction is made tha, ultimately a much larger area will be brought under cultivation by these ditches than now. The principal crop is alfalfa. of which G2,sS5 acres were grown in 1899. There also were several thousand acres in fruits and nus.

HIT BY A STREET CAR
J. A. Banks Unconscious at a Late
 Hour Last Night.

j. A. Banks. a farmer living ten miles northwest of the city, was near death last night by collision with street railway ear. About halt-past seven he was crossing the Washington street track at Third avenue. The arc light at that crossing and the other a.ong the street had gone out The darkness was impenetrable and when 4 westbound car with Motorman Ross came along at a high rate of speed, th' approaching vehicle could not be seen until it was brought within the range of the headlight, It was then too late to slow up. Mir. Banks vehicle. sur rey drawn by two hors s, was struck on the right fore wheel and almost ut- terly demolished. The driver, though perhaps not hit by the car was thrown ul n feet. falling on his face and never moved. The str, ct was Strewn Wlth groceries, coffee, oatnea,, sugar ana salt The horses were unhurt and were captured by bystanders before they could recover from their paralysis by fright and run away.
 Mir Banks was taken to the Sisters hospital and Dr. Palmer was sum moned. His nose Was badly fractured and his back was hurt, but so far as the doctor could determine, there were probably no int rnal injuries. At very late hour last night he had not reCov- cred consciousness, but that fact was not believed to be necessarily alarm ing The shock, a terrific one, might have produced a prolonged uncon- sciousnsSs without endangering life.
 Mir Banks is a son-in-law of k, O. Green. who lives in the Orme district, ten miles northwest of the city. A mes seng F was sent out to Mir. Greens res ilencc last night.

In the account of the sudden demise of James c. Burns, of 100 Caroline street, Bridgeport, it was stated by some of the local papers that the de- ceased expired on the stoop of his home. This was an error. MT Burns had been ill since Friday, at which time he was compelled to leave off work. For some time past he had complained of severe pains in the re- zion of his heart, and when he quit work last week the pains had become so severe that he W as unable to longer continue manual labor. He had not left his home since Monday of last week, and while he was feeling some what better the night before his death, his family appreciated the gravity of trouble.
