SPENT CORDS OF MONEY.
Deceased Indian Magnate Who Had . Mania for the Vices of
 Europeans.

The people of patiala, in India, will not seriously mourn the recent death of their maharajah, the leading Sikh chief of the Punjab. He was the ruler of the most warike of all the races of India, but singularly die6in the service of the British empire Sir Rajendra Singh hssd previously served through the Mchieani campaign of 1897 on the staff of Sir Bindon Blood. Personally he was the product of a somewhat mis- taken system, and represented" in its fullest development that anomaly Europeanized Indian prince. He. habituallv wore English clothes and native turban, married an English wife and regally enteHained vast crowds of Englishmen, who, according 10 the agreeable manner of Englishmen in India, would receive neither him nor his wife into their houses in. return He was E sportsman of the first order; he had one of the finest polo teams in India, played for it himself and was almost worthy of his place. But with the English taste for sport he had i'm bibed the vice of sportsmen and spent
 more than the revenues of his state could afford on racing and dissipation. Though only young man of 2s, he had ! tried his constitution severely, and it
 is little wonder that he succumbed to
 the fever that attacked him. His sub jects will be all the better for the nurs-
 ing of the state revenues, which the
 Punjab government will now be able l to taks in hand

posed. New canals are being con- strueted all over the territory and old ones are being enlarged and extended. New strikes are being made in every district in the territory. New mining companies are being formed by the hundreds and old ones are enlarging and improving their plants. New mon- ey is coming into Arizona by the mil lions and is being invested in various enterprises. All of the towns are growing into cities, aud new ones are springing up as by magic. Mining stocks, almost without a single excep- tion, are advancing steadily in price, and some few have doubled many times within few months. Arizona is ex- periencing an era of most remarkable development. It is not boom, because the output of the territory is increas- ing much faster than its population. New railroads mean new camps, new mines and cheaper transportation for ores and mining supplies and corres- pondingly increased demand for agri- cultural products. Arizona is to-day unquestionably the most prosperous section of the United States. It's wealth will double in five years and its population in ten. There is not an idle man in the territory, except from choice.-[Copper Era.

Porter, Denver capitalist, aud also by Charles E. Mcconnell, a banker of Du- rango, who are interested in the build ing of the new road. These gentle men had just returned from Bisbee and the lower camps of the terri tory, and were more than agreeably surprised at the vast volume of business which could be secnred to such road in this section. Durango furnishes the finest coke aud coal in the west, and the building of the proposed line would no doubt cheapen this commod- ity to the consumers of this section besides opening up 8 new field for mining timbers. As the Era under stands it the Colorado people are most desirous of making sone arrangements with the A. & N. M. and the South western F. R. whereoy the lines could work in harmony with each other. Such an arrangement would give the Durango people an outlet for their coke, coal and timber supplies to Cliff ton, Morenci, Pearce, Gleason, Tomb stone, Bisbee, Naco and Cananea, which is really the big end of the min ing district of the territory. It would also give them new and much more direct line into Fl Paso, which is also 8 heavy consumer of the supplies named.

--'One of the most brilliant men of my acquaintance is . Chinaman," said John B. Galore, of New York. to Washing ton Post reporter. He has 8 tea house up in our metropolis, and he is a scholar ss we'll as importer of the leaf. We were talking about the Chinese imbrogho! several days ago. and conversation drifted from Boxers and the taking of Picking to the teachings of Confucius. He called attention to the fact that mis- sionaries were trying to Christianize native Chinese who cling to religion which has stood the test 5000 years. and had nearly 300, ,oo0.O00 followers. while the Christian religion is scarcely 2,O00 years old with many followers of divided belief.
 "'You Christian believers remind me- he explained, of the Chinaman who stood on the river shore and watched the moon rise over the hill. A ray of sublime light came to him. It was beautiful. His friends were sta toned at other places and he called to them to come quick and behold his own beautiful ray of light. They replied that they also followed beautiful ray. of light to the same moon. From what ever position they looked they caught a ray equally as beautiful. That's the way with religion, and especially yours. You are looking at the light of good ness. emanating from the Divine source, and each thinks he has monop- oily, like the lone Chinaman with his one ray of light"

When the time came for the annual assess ment, Assessor Pennington went out to look over the property of the coun- ty.

CHANGES IN RAILROADS.
Tho Southern Pacific VIII Be Controlled by the Gould Syndicate in the
 Future.
lFrom the Houston Poea.

lFrom the Houston Poss.l
 The ground plan for the reconstruc- tion of the railroad map of the United States has been virtually agreed upon at series of conferences which have been going on for the last three days the final session having been held this afternoon at the office of J. P. Morgan Ss Co. These conferences were st- tended by James J. Hill. E. H. Harri- man, Jacob Schiff, George J. Gould, and representatives of ". K. Vapder- bilt, J. P. Morgan 6 Co., aud the Pennsylvania interests. The controll- ing powers of all the great trunk line and western systems were represented and the conclusions reached have the moral force of contracts.
 The plan as tentatively agreed up. on was cabled to J. Pierpont Morgan Thursday night and received his cor dial approval and. indorsement in cablegram received to-day
 Briefly stated, the plan provides for division of the railroads ofthe coun- try into four groups, which, when fin- ally completed and rounded out, will be as follows: The Union Pacific will surrender the Southern Pacific to the control of George J. Gould, John b. Rockefeller, and their associates in control of the Missouri Pacific. The Missouri Pacific will be conceded n outlet to the Atlantic seaboard. The understanding is that control of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western has been guaranteed to the Gould. Rockefeller combination, which will extend the Delaware, Laciza wal na and Western to Pittsburg, there to connect with the line being built into that city from the west. The Gould party is said to have paid or agreed to pay 800 for control of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western, the bid having been raised from 250 to that figure.
 The Hartman Vanderbilt combina- ton will retain control of the Western continuation of the Union Pacific, aud it will take under it's control the St. Paul, Duluth and Northwestern.
 The Hill-Morgan party will have the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific the Burlington and the Erie.
 The Pennsylvania combination will take over the Atchison and Rock Is. land.
 The status of the Southeastern rail way systems was not fully determined upon, but tits not likely that there will be any interruption to the Penn sylvannia plan for the absorption o. the several lines in the cotton bell east of Mississippi.
 The aDthracite situation will not b. disturbed in any important particular conditions there being satisfactory t, the ruling powers.
 : The introduction of the Gould Rocke feller party into the Eastern Trunl line field is not expected to make an, disturbance among the coalers.
 A year or more may be required t work out this magnificent scheme fo the reconstruction of the railroad ma of the Western Hemisphere, but wit
 the outlines of the plan agreed upon the rest will follow.
 Fl Each of the grand subdivisions vii represent bond and share capital

lFrom the Clifton Copper Era.l
 The Era last week mention the fact that Mir. Thos. Il. Wigglesworth, formerly chief engineer of tue Denver and Rio Grande railroad, visited Cliff ton last week. The Era knew more about the mission of Mir. Wigglesworth than it was then allowed to make pub lie, but in this connection the following from the St. Johns Herald will be found of interest:
 "Thos. H. Wigglesworth, railroad surveyor who claims to have picked the route for g. eat many railroads in various parts of the United States, passed through here this week on his way to Clifton and various places in the southern part of Arizona and in Old Mexico. His object was, to map out 8 line for railroad from Durango, Col, to the mining camps, of Southern Ariz- ona aud Old Mexico. In an interview with Mir. Wigglesworth we learned that the prospect for road from Durango | is good, and it is quite sure of being built fthe remainder of the way be any where near as good as that which he passed over."
 The Era is informed that Mir. Wig. ellsworth found that the. proposed road could be built much cheaper thar he had anticipated, and he also foune that the grade of the road would b, much less shan many roads now operat ing in Colorado and Arizona. Tn, general average of the grade would b. about l H per cent, and would seldom go as high as 2 per cent. Mr. Wiggles worth was met 1t Clifton by John A

The Grand Canyon Hotel.
lFrom the Albuquerque Citizen.l

lFrom the Albuquerque Citizen.l
 On the brink of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, about fifty miles north of Williams, Arizona, the Santa Fe railroad, according to report, will erect 8 splendid hotel overlooking the huge chasm, which is. one mile deep at that point.
 Grand Canyon will be made one of the show places of America, and local railway men believe it will rival Mi agara Falls as an attraction for tour ists.
 A first class extension of the Santa Fe will be built from Williams to the canyon, and it Is probable that the station on the precipice will be includ- ed in the main line overland. This would necessitate some extra time on the transcontinental trip, as trains would have to run out to the canyon and back to reach tue main line for California, but railroad men believe that the additional time would be well comed by the public if it afforded an opportunity to see the Grand Can. you.
 The hotel on the edge of the canyon will cost g, ,000,000 it is said, and will be one of the most unique hostelries in America.

The recent sale of the South Bisbee Copper company's property to the Tarsis company of Glasgow for g, ,500,- 900, brings 10 mind the fact that this property was offered to the Copper Queen company only few years ago for 5000. Of course large amount of development work has been done on the property since that time. This only goes to confirm the old saying that no ma1 can see into the ground. The claims were considered absolute ly valueless when located, but now Mir. G. s. Pitcairn, an expert whose reputa- tion extends around the earth, is will ing to take them at two and a half mill lions, and it is quite likely that under his able management the property will increase in value many fold during the next few years. h this the prospector can find much encouragement. He should not be cast down because his property is not considered of value by mining men. h fact, almost every mine of real worth in the territory to-day has been turned down by prominent ex- perts in years past. The thing for the prospector to do is to develop his prop erty 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 doe. nothing, has nothing to show and there fore his property is not considered desir sble.-ICopper Era.

 The Bulletin was first to applaud the Belt for it's sensible position in the Beard incident and we are pleased to see that the press of Arizona has been almost unit in expressing it's disap- p-oval of the act of riding member of the legislature on rail through the streets of Globe. Such acts are hurt ful to Arizona and can in no way bene- fit the cause of labor. A newspaper never errs in condemning unlawful acts and insisting that all things should be done within the limits of peace and good order. There may be times when the actions of 8 mob may be so righteous as to warrant newspaper treating it in silence, bat to publicly applaud mob violence will bring no lasting respect.
