Thomas II. Wigglesworth, chief
engineer of the Silverton Northern
railroad is in town today proving up
on a body of timber land joining his
Waterfall ranch. Mr.. Wigglesworth
reports good progress being made on
construction work. A good grade has
been found to Burrows park. Those
who have been over the wagon
road from Eureka to Animas Forks
and on over the range to the park,
are amazed at the engineering which
will enable train to get over this
pass. From Eureka the survey fol-
lows close to the wagon road nearly to
the forks of the river. The road Will
prove to be great factor in develop
ing that rich mining territory, long
neglected for want of cheaper trans
portation facilities. Little did Mr.,
Wigglesworth think n quarter of a cen
tury ago when he first passed through
that canon that he would ever con-
struct railroad there.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

Bradstreet's saws:

BradStreets says:
Weather conditions continue almost
perfect, the Winter wheat crop harvest

siderably larger yield than last year; re.
tail trade in Summer goods has i'm
proved and recorders from jobbers are
larger in volume. Confidence In .
large Fall trade grows as corn and cot.
ton make up for their early backward
start, clearingS are in excess OF a yeai
ago at most centers, railroad earnings
continue to show gains over all preced-
ing years-the increase for June is fully
II per ccnt-and prices display excep'
tional steadiness for Midsummer Pc
Rod. The prospect grows that what.
ever deficiencies from last year occur
in crop yields will be made up for by
increased quotations or better quality
Of products. Wool has been again ad-
vanccd and while manufacturers are not
inclined to stock up the higher price s0r
the raw material practically insures
high cost for Spring woolens.
Retail trade has been stimulated by
real Summer weather and jobbers East
and West note a much improved bust
ness in seasonable goods.

A Rare Juvenile Crime.

OF the many crimes committed by

gerry, though this also has on several
occasions been done by comparatively
tiny scribes. In Chicago toward the
end of 1883 sensational forgery Of
check for some $4,000 was traced TO a
lad of fourteen, he having devoted his
spare time to the copying of his en-
ployer's signature, with the criminal
result in question.
1t is recorded that the youths talcns
for such imitation was quite marvel

swore that they had believed The sig

his own. Verify n preceelty for crime
