BERLIN's ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
Result of Recent Experiments With
High Speed.

The application of electricity to the va
rious purposes of power and illumination
in Berlin has been Increased greatly of late,
in spite of the general depression in Ger
manys industrial development, according
to an interesting report received at the
State Department from United States Con-
sui General Mason at Berlin, under date of
November o. Horse cars have all but dis
appeared from the streets of the German
capital, says Mr.. Mason, and in hundreds
of public places and new buildings electric
lights supplanting gas and other means
of illumination. The development of cleo
trio tramway lines, he points out, has been
nothing short of phenomenal, for in a
single twelvemonth the amount of cleo
trical energy for this purpose has more
than doubled, increasing from 5000 to 49,
500 horsepower. The consul general says
that the trolley has had hard fight
against a strong opposition to its use in
the central districts of the city, but has
crept farther and farther in from the sub
urbs, until now overhead wires supply
practically all the lines in Berlin.
A very interesting portion of Mr.. MaSon'S
report is that dealing with the high speed
electrical railway experiments which were
conducted this fall the military
line between Marienfelde and Zossen
and attracted such widespread attention.
The consul general says that these eXpe-
riments We're, from the first, carefully
guarded from public observation, and that
no technical account of the results attained
will be accessible until the full official
port of the engineers in charge is made
public. However, Mr.. Mason is in possess
sion of information from entirely trust
worthy sources, on the basis of which it
can be stated that during the first few
days the speed attained did not exceed 81. 8
miles an hour. This was gradually in
creased until the record disclosed pace of
93.2 miles an hour, which was considered
to be all that could be asked, with safety
of the equipment thus far devised for the
cars The motors, although in at least one
instance burnt out" by the powerful cur
rent, apparently came up to expectations
and the difficulty apprehended of getting
the current into the car from a. triples
overhead wire is said to have been sue
cessfuly overcome The other obstacle an
ticipated-air resistance-proved less Sc
rious than was expected. The maximum
pressure registered by the instruments in
the cars was about 16.7 pounds per square
foot.
In conclusion Mr.. Mason says that the re-
suits of the experiments, while falling far
snort OF the extreme rates of speed fore
caSted, Will form new and valuable
groundwork upon which further expert
ments toward still higher rates of speed
can be safely based -.-

IN the February Protectionist, monthly magazine published in Boston by the Home Market Club, was an ar ticle on Expansion Witain the Coun- try" in which occurs the following paragraph:
 It may not be possible to legislate at this session of Congress in furtherance of the scheme. but as it is worthy of national con- sideration, and has the unqualified indorse- ment of agricultural. horticultural and la- bor organizations all over the country. the new Congress will probably be prepared to act favorably on the proposition. Some peo- pie in the East claim that the enterpris 0 is not one of national concern, and oppose any direct appropriation from the national treasury in it's behalf. They might as con sistently oppose appropriations for rivers and harbors; or the expenditure of large sums to secure new markets outside of the country, which many of them commend but as the progress and prosperity of one part of the country contribute to the well fare of all sections, the irrigation move ment should not be treated from a sectional point of view, but in its broadest sense as nation al benefaetion."
 Commenting on the above the Los Angeles Times says: This is interest. ing and significant, as showing tht growing sentiment in favor of nation al irrigation which exists throughout the East. It may safely be said tha the outlook for this most importan scheme of public improvement is ex ceedingly bright. Let the good worl
 proceed.

UNDOUBTEDLY the first work in irrigation which the government should undertake Is the construction of dam on the Gila River nt San Carlos. in Arizona, because this im- proyement would not only bring under cul- tiyation 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 condi- tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only stril1- ing object lesson of the advantage of irriga- ton on large scale. but also an act of me-cy and justice.-tLos Angeles Times Editorial, Feb. 12, 1901.

THE elssee AND FL PAso ROAD.
President Douglas Tells About It S2, ,oOo,-
 900 for Fl Paso.

Fl Paso has granted the Southeast ern Railroad the right of way to build intn Fl Paso. The Herald says:
 The city council has reached an agreement with the officials of the Arizona Southeastern railroad and Fl Paso vii, have another independent road to the west.
 The road gets a franchise over it's own property between Franklin and Main Streets under the charter of the Arizona southeastern railroad of Tex as and not that of the El Paso Termi- nal association, under whose charter the franchise was applied for.
 In an interview with President Douglas the Herald quotes him as fol- lows:
 "I am glad that the people here have felt so much interest in our road, , said the venerable president, flor we hope to do 8 great deal by this place. ?
 First we will build from this end of the line, but will necessarily be de- layed on account of crossing the Ric Grande river. A bridge is necessary, but that will be ordered this week and will arrive here about the first of July Then the road will be pushed to com 1 pletion as fast as possible. When ths road starts we will erect ha ndsom' building here and locate the genera operating offices of the company here. "As all our heavy transfers, our gen eral offices, and probably smelter vii be in Fl Paso, this city will be the mos important point on our line and nat urally the pride of the company. Gu office buildings, depots, warehouses etc., here will be very fine ones ans
 before we are through we hope to in vest probably two million dollars in E Paso"

 have been too much absorbed in build ing new lines and opening new mine to give much attention to that matter.

TIE visit of the newspaper men who the presidential party through Arizona is beginning to bear fruit. Harry West, one of the ablest among taem, writes the following to his psper, the Washington Post:
 Some of these days the national legislature will awake to the fact that few millions spent in building dams in the mountain canyons for the storage of water will do more good than the same amount of money spent for shallow creeks and worthless har- bors in the east. It would be a national blessing if the entire Congress could be brought out here and shown how much irri- gation means for this country. Literally, the desert has been made to blossom like the rose. The virgin soil is full of fertility as soon as water touches it, and the constant sun does the rest. It is irrigation that made Phoenix nn oasis in the desert. Thus far, the number of reclaimed acres are com paratively few. The time will come when, in tho enactment of wise and necessary legis- lation, this whole desert will be green and fruitful. There is water enough in the mountains during the rainy season to irri- gate thousands and thousands of square miles, if it is only stored and carefully fed to the thirsty land. And when this time comes, as it assuredly will, Arizona will not be desert state. It will bs the country oi fourish;ng farms, occupied by healthy
 happy, prosperous people.

The most noted gambling resort in the world, Monte Carlo, is owned by stock company. and its annual reports to it's shareholders are prepared with fullness, precision and a wealth of detail that some railroad corporations might initiate with advantage to those interested in their operations. These reports show clearly that the expen- ses of the Monte Carlo company are enormous, and cover the widest imaginable range of outlay and sub vention, but that the profits every year are sure and large. The percent age against the players is constant and destructive. Study of the figures should convince even the most san guine of those who make their wagers on roulette or trente- ct quarante or rough-e:-noir that the bank must al- ways prevail over the player in the long run. Nevertheless, the fascination of these games will continue to allure victims from all the world to Monaco until governmental action closes this glittering hell, as superb temples of chance in Homburg and Baden Baden were closed years ago

The Title to the Mammoth Mine.
From the Tucson Citizen l

throm the tucson Citlzen.l
 "The receivership of the Mammoth mine," said Senator George P. Blair last evening, "is simply to bri ng about a substantial and safe title to the min ing property of the company. The step was not taken, as many believe, because the mine was not paying. The Mammoth has always been a profitable mining property, but the company long ago decided to take steps to inn prove the property in the direction of bringing about the minimum cost in the operation of the mine. Some of the stockholders objected to the im- provements, and the gentlemen who see the necessity of making them have entered the courts to bring them about"
 Senator Blair stated that this com pauy will no doubt establish an cleo tric power plant in Tucson and trans. init power over copper wires to the mine to be used in operating the mill and hoists and other equipment. It was first thought advisable to locate plant in the Catalinas, where there is wood and water, but the project to bring the plant to Tucson is received with greater favor on account of the railroad facilities which will provide cheaper fuel. The power plant will be located upon the river close to the Southern Pacific tracks. Besides pro- viding power for the mines the com pany will also sell to manufacturing establishments in Tucson.
 The project will be brought to a head as soon as the Mammoth title is properly settled and tue improvements can be made with impunity. The Mammoth is one of the greatest low grade gold mines in the southwest, and it's ore bodies are said to be larger at the present depth than the upper workings provided.

THE writ of certiorari asked for in order to settle the validity of the in corporation of Florence was denied by Judge Doan last Monday on the ground that the act of the board of supervisors was legislative rather than judicial. No attempt was made to meet the issues in the case. which were clearly presented by Jesse Hardesty, attorney for the plaintiff, John c. Harris. If, as alleged, the incorpora- ton is null and void. the fact should be determined as soon ss possible The suit will next come up on writ of quo warrauto, which will be tried some time in July, it is said.

A PLAIN statement of facts regard. ing the fraudulent character of the Florence incorporation, and an honest effort to have tke natter judicially have subjected the editor of this paper to an attack that for men dacity aud filth has been seldom esualled.
