SANTA FEE ASSUMES CONTROL.
Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Road
 Formally Turned Over.

The Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix railroad was turned over to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe company last Saturday, President Ripley of the Santa Fe accepting the former line from Frank w. Murphy, president of the short road The road is over two hun dred miles long, reaching from Ash Fork to Phoenix, besides half a dozen branches, and it is said to be the second largest dividend-pay- ing road in the United States. The retiring owners of the road will at once, it is said, build a road from Phoenix to Benson, through the Salt river and Gila valleys, and tapping the Southern Pacific at Benson, and then another line west, which will again touch the Southern Pacific at Yuma.-Jour- nal-Democrat.

Arizona a Bed of Wealth.

Arizona is now entering upon the greatest mining period of its existence, says the Western Mining World. It is in fact proper to say that it has already entered upon it. But it is still at the threshold. From now forward it will go on ad- ding each year to its mineral pro duction to a degree that, while the yearly increase may not cause inn mediate commotion, will be sur prising when a few years hence one looks backward. And in saying this it may be well to add that this present and future activity in min ing will not be confined to any one section of the territory. Enough

IMPORTANT TO SHEEPMEN.
Permits Must Be Secured to Cross
 Forest Reserves.

Notice has been received that all sheepmen desiring to cross any of the excluded areas of the forest re- serve must first secure a permit from the interior department. This applies to all sheep whether those heretofore permitted on the reserve or those who have not grazed on the forest reserves, excepting those who have permits to graze on the reserve, may of course, cross open areas in going off the reserve.
 To cross excluded areas applica- cants are required to make formal application showing the route they desire to take, the number of sheep they wish to drive across, the time they expect to remain on the re- serve, together with reasons for de- string to cross.
 A number of applications of this kind have been rejected by the sec retary of the interior, believing that their object was mainly to graze their sheep on the closed ran- ges.-Sun-

with some certain accuracy that Arizona is richly mineralized throughout, for with but few ex- captions there are already establish ed camps in every county in the territory, with producing mines and claims under development in all of them. Another thing to be noted is that its ore bodies are rich in the three prominent metals gold, silver and copper.

 To those who have followed the proceedings in the district court the verdict is not a surprise, but there are some who have listened to outside stories that will be amazed It did not take the jury long to reach an agreement, in fact there was only one ballot taken and it was unanimous for acquittal.

OUR GREAT COUNTIES.
Comparison in Size With Some of
 the Eastern States.

Cautiously enough, the impression still prevails in many portions of the east that Arizona is only an in significant patch of desert in the southwestern corner of the Union. And our own people are so famil jar with our magnificent distances, that they do not realize that in re- ality Arizona is large enough and rich enough in natural resources to make several states. It is interest ing, therefore, to note the great area of the several counties.
 Apache county extends IS miles east and west and 240 miles north and south.
 The greatest length of Coconino county is 1855 miles and its great est width 40 miles. It is larger than the combined states of Yer mont, Massachusetts and Delaware, having an area of 1892 square miles.
 Gila, one of the smaller counties, has an area of 4,542 square miles.
 Cochise county is S3 miles north and south by S4 miles east and west, and has an area of 6, JAY square miles, being slightly larger than the combined areas of Rhode Island and Connecticut.
 Graham county contains $500 square miles.
 Maricopa county has S,S16 square miles, and is slightly larger than Massachusetts.
 Mohave county has an area of 13,421 square miles.
 Navajo county is 24O miles long, 5 miles wide, and com prises 9,S26 square miles, nearly equal to the area of Maryland.
 Pima county contains an area of g, 9,424 square miles.
 Pinal county has 5,324 square miles.
 Santa Cruz, the smallest county, 1,212 square miles, about equal to the area of Rhode Island.
 Yavapai county contains 7,S63 square miles, or an area larger than that of New Jersey.
 Yuma county contains 9,7S3 square miles.-Phoenix Republi- can.

MCDONALD ACQUITTED.
Trial for Murder of E. p. Gardner
 Ended Last Saturday.


 George Mcdonald, on trial for the murder of E. P. Gardner, train watchman of Ringing Bros.' circus, on the morning of September 24, was last Saturday found not guilty of murder or any lesser degree of homicide.
 The verdict was not surprising, though there was a preponderance of opinion among those who had watched the jury day by day. that it would fail to agree That opin- ion was not based on the evidence, but was one of those indefinable impressions which spectators at a murder trial sometimes gain
 The verdict was reached very quickly. The case was not sub mitted until after half past four o'clock, and less than half an hour later the word went out that the jury was ready to report That was as much as to say that the defendant had been acquitted, for no one had expected verdict of guilty. Judge Street, the officers of the court and the attorneys for the territory were in the court room at half past five when the jury was brought in. The faces of the members gave another indica- ton that the verdict would be fla vorable to the defendant, for they made it plain that the finding com bined no bad news
 Expectation, therefore, was not shocked when Foreman Hill arose and announced that the defendant was not guilty Court was ad- iourned soon thereafter and the de- fendant met the jurymen as they came out of the box and thanked them for their consideration of the case. and then he became the sub feet of congratulation by his friends
 Judge Street at once issued an order discharging the defendant and exhonerating him of all blame in the killing Col Johnstone, who has all along maintained the innocence of the defendant, was heard to exclaim: GA just yer dict" and at the same time grasp ed the arm of lily Mcdonald He

Now that special efforts are being
made to exterminate mosquitoes, ow-
ing to the belief that certain species of
those insects are responsible for the
spread of malaria, the fact that small
fish are great destroyers of mosquito
larvae assumes increased interest. This
fact is vouched for by Dr. l.. o. How
ard of the department of agriculture.
He tells of two small lakes formed
nearly side by side in Connecticut by
an invasion of the sea. one Of which
contained half dozen small fish,
while the other was fishless. Suisse
