PHOENIX, Ariz Nov l5.--0ae of the most important movements in years toward the development of the mineral districts uf Western Arizona, is in a new railroad which is being planuei oy the Atenison. Topeka and Santa Fe, to reach from Congress Junction, frty miles north of phoenix, to tue Colorado river on the west. The pu pile announcement has not oeen made, but Santa Fe officials here nave been in- formed privately that the survey will begin soon
 The new iine will tap part of the richest mineral zone in Arlzoua, a region which has been virtually unex- plored, although prospeetors who nave penetrated partially into IL have found wonderful deposits of mineral. In th 6 Harqua Hsla and Hacuvar mountains many great discoveries of copper and gold have been made, but the inaeces- sibility of the region, and the conse- quent extreme difficulty and expense of getting supplies in and ores out, have prevented extensive operations. The same conditions have existed all along the country south of Bill Will liams' Fork. In many places evidences of mining by Spapiards and Indians have been found, but traditions of the latter tell how the scarcity of water drove away the early miners. News of the intentions of the Santa Fe has leaked ont and prospectors and specu. lators are hurrying into the country along the proposed line.

UNDOUBTEDLY the first work in irrigation which the government should undertake is the construction of a dam on the Gila River at San Carlos, in Arizona. because this im- provement would not only bring under cul- tivation large area of arid land for the use of white settlers, but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly Indians. who are now in a starving eondi- tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them- This improvements would be not only strik- ing object lesson of the advantage of irriga- tion on a large scale, but also an act of mercy and justice.-lLos Angeles Times Editorial, Feb. 12, 1901.

he did After assuring himself that
he had right to enter her domicile
they agreed to repudiate the contract,
which they did, leaving the carpenter
to hold the sack" for the 5000. The

Muscatine, June 1T have spent
part of the day interviewing property
owners of South Muscatine regarding
right of way" said Chief Clerk A. C.
Hagensick, of the Milwaukee railroad,
''and find that they are willing to part
with their property at reasonable
prices so it is practically an assured
fact that we will use our own tracks
out of this city, which means competi-
ton" Regarding the beginning of &C.
tual work he said: Il believe that we
will be able to commence actual work
on this cutoff within two weeks from
today and will have work for in the
neighborhood of $500 men between
Muscatine and Ottumwa."
"Will you place your own men on
the work or use local labor?"
There will be work for every one
in Muscatine who is willing and able
to work. 1t means a great deal to the
cities and towns along the line,
think, for no one will need to loaf
while the work is going on"
The line will leave Muscatine north
of the slough and run directly west
going over the bluffs on gradual in
cline. In regard to striking Cones
vile Mr.. Hagensick states that it ne.
eessitates building the line one half a
mile out of the originally planned
route to go through there but that this
will be done if the residents Of that
place will comply with the company's
requests which are to furnish right of
way through the town and depot
site free. IF this is done we will
run into Cone" he said, "and if not we
will cut off that curve and run fur
Their south as the business will come
anyway"

BUSINESS woMES.

We often think it is a pity that wom-
en- do not have better chance to show
what they are capable of in business
way. Our social and economic system
assigns her to matrimony, maternity
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wherein she
has but small chance TO display any
business ability save as she may be
able to work through some man who
is her husband. Here and there some
bright woman who did not think that O
man was the greatest thing in the
world, preferring independence to any
other thing, starts out with poultry or
bees or horses or some other sort of
stock or develops fruit or flower farm
with the most signal success A bright
Dakota girl has lately invested her lit
tie capital earned as clerk in ranch
and has stocked it with COWS and sheep
of good blood and will without doubt
make success Of the business. provid-
ed she does not fall a victim to the
wiles of some tree claimer in the shape
of a man. There are opportunities Of
this sort awaiting any bright girl who
does not want to marry just for O
home. Many woman might just as
well do farm work for herself as to do
it for some old stick Of a man.

Fairfield, June 1.-(Special) - The
Foster prize debate was held at the
Presbyterian church last evening be-
fore a large audience. The question
was: Resolved, That the United
States Government Should Have the
Right to levy tax on goods imported
from Porto Rico and the Philippines"
When the decision of the supreme
court was handed down on practically
the same subject last Manday it seem
ed probable that the debate would be
called off as the supporters of the neg
alive did not wish to oppose their
opinions to the decision of the SUI
preme court, but the matter was final
ly compromised by an agreement not
to make any reference to this last and
final decision of the court The prize
of $25 offered by Thomas D. Foster
of Ottumwa was won by Ralph T. Nc.
Gaughey, who supported the negative
of this question.

sense enough to have run drag over

no tool so effective for improving the
