 The grading for the thirty-six inch road from Clifton to the Longfellow incline, distance of four miles, has been completed, and ties are being placed along the grade. The road will soon be completed and in opera tiOn. Passenger coaches, to accommo- date the vast amOuntof travel, will be put on, and fifty cent fare for the round trip will be charged. This road will take the place of the 22-inch gauge road, which was the first rail road ever built in Arizona In early days the ore cars were allowed to come down from LongfellOw by gravity, the passengers regulating the speed of the train by manipulating the brakes. The cars were taken back by two mules hitched tandem, and driven by that dignitied and aristocratic citizen of Silver City, Colonel Hyram Abrahams. This was before Dad Arbuckle built the first railroad engine ever operated in the territory.-Copper Era.
 George McFall is all rightas a street commissioner, but his education as a sprinter is subject to improvement. The other day Jack Deyilbiss, cow boy from Mcdowell came to town, and, imbuing himself with tangie- foot, set out on career of peace dis Uurbance. He buCked his pony, yelled and woke the echoes. In the absence of any other municipal authorities Mir. McFall took cognizance of his case; besides, Deyilbiss was tearing up the streets. That brought him regularly within the jurisdiction of MT. McEall, who started in pursuit. He chased the Devilbiss around sev- erai blocks and stumps. He chased him tO the capitol building on Wash inglon street and back to the Hotel Adams on Adams street. There Mir. McFdll's bicycle fell prostrated with fatigue. DeyilbiSS' pony had regained its second wind and carried its rider in safety on toward Mcdowell. -.Phoe- nix Republican.

 Bolton left last night for Cochise county where they will inspect the marble quarry owned by T. F. Pume- roy, l. II. Legler and others. The marble from the quarry is now being used in Phoenix for monumental pur- poses, and it is found to be unusually easy to work and of more beautiful colOring than any other marble used here. A marble expert who visited the board of trade day or two ago said the samples on exhibition there are the finest he has ever seen. There is mammoth deposit Of the marble covered by the locations of MT. Pome- roy and his associates, and there is little doubt but that company will be formed in the near future to work the quarry on large scale. It is so easy of access, 1t is believed it can be marketed in competition with any marble west of the Mississippi river and it has no superior in quality
 Mir. k A. Cochran, superintendent of the new Indian school built last year at Rice station, visited Solomon vile last Monday. NIT. Cochran says
 the school was opened for pupils last | December, and the first term will close on June 2Sth. There are now POS pupils in this school, all full-blJOd
 Apache Indian children, ranging in age from six to sixteen years. They were all fresh from their Indian homes when the school commenced in December and not one could speak a word of English. The result so far has been most wonderful. One could hardly believe it possible for these h. dian children to make such rapid ad- vancement. There are twenty-two teachers and employees connected with this Indian school, all under the di- rection of Mir. Cochran. Miss Kincaid of St. Louis, is the principal and she is aided in her work by Miss Johnson of Ohio, Miss Schiifbauer of Missouri, and Miss Irwin of Kansas. Bulletin.
