RAILROAD PRESIDENTS.
Enormous Salaries Paid These Rail
 way Magnates.

way The announcement of the United States Steel corporation that not more than twelve men in its employ, or in the. employ of its subsidiary com panies, receive salaries of S20, GOO or over, has directed attention to the compensation paid heads of great rail roads and large b. nks as affOrding an interesting basis of comparison, says the Boston Journal.
 The steel trust has figured S100. GOO as belonging to the office of president of the corporation itself. but has not more than fifty men who will receive from S1O,O to 520.O 900 a year, some 200 who will get from 5000 to S10, 900, and about l,JVO who are compen- sated at the rate of from 8, 800 to 8, GOO annually.
 Although the ailroads and banks pay some high salaries, very few men are compens, l at $50, 900 or more a year. A. J. Cassatt, of the Pennsyl rar.". i5 g, erally credited with re- ceiving s75, 900 a year. These are credited with receiving $50, 900 year: Pres dent Un erwood, of the Erie; President Spencer, of the Southern; President Ripley, of the Atchison; President Hughitt, of the Northwest ern; President Earling. of the St. Paul; and President Newman, of the New York Central. President Burt, of the Unoin Pacific, is understood to receive about S35. 600 a year.
 President Harris. of the Burlington road is understood to receive S35, GOO a year, and President Mellen. of the Northern Pacific. a similar amount.
 President Hill, of the Northern Se- curities company, is understood to draw $50, 900 year and a nominal salary as president of the Great North ern railway.
 President Stickney, of the Chicago and Great Western, draws a salary of S35, 900 a year. as does also President Yoakum, of the St. Louis and San Francisco system.
 Charles M. Harris, vice president and general manager of the Grand Trunk road. was reported to have been offered 54O.O 600 a year to return to that system when he left the South ern Pacific.
 President Ramsey, Jr., of the Wa bash, is credited with drawing sal ary of $40, GOO year.
 George Gould is president of many roads, and through his control and that of the Gould family. probably draws many salaries which aggregate very large sum, chiefly made up of his salary as president of the Missouri Pacific
 While it is not known what all New York banks pay their chief officers, it is argued that S50, coo a year repre- sents the highest salary paid any bank president in the city.

RELATIVES FIND CARLEY.

The letter of inquiry published in
 last evenings Journal Miner for M. | H. Carley, whose mother is seriously
 ill in the east resulted in putting him
 in communication with his relatives. Friends of MT. Carley on seeing that
 his relatives had lost track of him. immediately telegraphed to him. at
 Winslow, where he has been for some time. During the past two years the Journal Miner has been the medium
 through which over a score of people
 in Arizona, who have neglected writ
 ing home, have been put in communi- cation with friends. In fact it is al most impossible for man to so com
 pletely lose himself that the Journal Miner cannot find him. One very amusing circumstance occurred in connection with one of these '1ost
 relatives notices. Parties in Colo rado sent an advertisement to the Journal Miner wanting information t OCA tam AildAAs T NO bci = later the notice appeared the wanted man came to the office from an out lying mining camp and made inquir- ies as to the parties wanting him, seeming to be apparently somewhat agitated over it. As he started to leave he was asked what address should be given to the parties inquir- ing for him, and after a little hesi- tation he remarked. Crowned King, though that was not the place where he reported having been. It was learned later that he left on the first train for the south, with the apparent intention of losing himself, to his Colorado friends again. just as soon as possible.

SURVEYING FOR RAILROAD.

| SORN E1 lNG EOk kAILROAD.
 The preliminary survey of the new road to pass down through the Bill | Williams Fork country to connect with the Southern California railroad near Cajon, California, is now under way. The party is in charge of $. F. Cochran, who is considered one of the | best civil engineers in the employ of the railroad company. The road passes down the valley of the Santa Maria and Bill Williams Fork and crosses the Colorado river near Par ker. The grade is one of the best of all the routes heretofore selected to | the coast. It is rumOred that the Rock Island Is back of the road. but | 1t appears that it is a cutoff from Cen tral Arizona to the coast. It will open up one of the richest gold and copper mining regions in the terri tory. In that section are mines that isolation alone keeps from being the greatest bonanza in the territory | The Planet, Copper Dome. Copper Prince. and the Empire Flat copper mines are among the great properties that will at once furnish unlimited tonnage to the new road as soon as it reaches that country. Work is to be pushed on the construction as fast as the survey party locates the line. - MOhave Miner.
 Deputy Sheriff Joe Campbell came in this morning with Pedro Herman dez, the slayer of Jose Valenzuela, at Octave, Ariona. on Saturday night of last week. Hernandez is a frail bit of humanity, and to look into his kindly face sOftened by full gray beard, it seems unnatural to inpute to him the charge of murder, yet such is the case. He has the appearance of be- ing a man sixty-five years of age. rather than forty-nine. the age he gives himself, while the murdered man was fifty-two years old. As has previously been stated in these col Umns. the trouble leading up to the tragedy arose over a game of stud poker and as the checks were being cashed. While this was in progress Hernandez, it is alleged. shot Valen- zuela twice. The first ball entered the middle chest and passed through the body coming out at the small of the back. The second bullet entered the right temple and came out below and back of the left ear. The one that passed through the body k now in the sheriff's office. The second charge passed through window and the bullet could not be found. The trouble occurred in the Green Front saloon at Octave. Deputy Campbell also brought in to the sheriff's office a dirk knife found on the body of the dead man. together with the re vOlver a 4l-caliber. with which the deed is alleged to have been com mitted
 Hernandez and Valenzuela had lived in Yavapai county tweuty-one years and had been friends for long time. Hernandez is an unmarried man, while ValenZuela leaves five children.
 The preliminary examination was held at Octave yesterday " hen Her nandeZ was bound over for his ap- pearance before the grand jury. He was placed in jail his morning
 The prisoner had S54. co on his per son. which was given to the sheriff for safe keeping.

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, July 23.-President Barrett
of the local Bookbinders' Union, today
called on Secretary Cortelyou and Public
Printer Palmer and submitted affidavits
supplementary to the communications al
ready filed with those officials regarding
the case of w. A. Miller, the assistant
foreman in the government printing office,
whose reinstatement was ordered by the
President. These affidavits relate to the
charges which formed the basis of Miller's
expulsion from the union and to his ac-
tions during his encumbency as assistant
foreman.
The communications sent by the union
to Secretary Cortelyou and Public Prin-
ter Palmer are identical In these the UNI
ion insists that Miller should not be re-
lnstated and urges as the reason therefor
the charge or moral unfitness, which it
points out was the cause of his expul-
sion from the union, and which the book
binders claim was thoroughly investigat-
ed and proved.

Confederate Rosters

DR.. b. f. Dixon, the State Auditor, is
back from Atlanta, where he went to
meet the members Of the commission
rom other Southern States. The object
of this meeting was to perfect roster
OF the Confederate veterans, also to sug-
gcst some plan by which this work may
be- accomplished.
only seven representatives of the Con-
iederate States were present at this meet
those being from one each from LOUIS
lana, Alabama, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Mississippi. while Georgia was
represented by two. Letters came from
the other States. General Aimsworth
who represents the United States in the
matter, was kept away by sickness and
business.
The commission prepared a report for
the United States War Department, and
asked for sufficient time to get up the
records, requesting also that the proofs
be- sent to the various commissioners for
correction and that they be allowed to
supplement any missing official records by
certified copies approved by the Governor.
DR.. Dixon was delighted with his trip
and with the hospitality of Governor Ter
rel. and of all he met in Atlanta. The
Legislature was IN session and he says
IL is a fine looking body of men.
Dr. Dixon relates a singular clrcum-
stance which occurred while he was walk
ing on the streets of Atlanta. Some one
urod his name in convedsatlon, and then
from the passing crowd there stepped
fortb an old gentleman who said.

North Carolina?"
YES. sir was DIR. Dixon's reply.
Let me introduce myself. My name is
George W. Brooks and IN 1854 while Gov
ernor Bragg was the chief executive of
North Carolina / then occupied the COST
ton OF Auditor which you now hold
IL was a singular and a pleasant cir
eunlstance which DR.. Dixon enjoyed. He
says that ex-Auditor Brooks is now a
nracticing attorney in Atlanta.

II hit the standing engine an awful
blow that sent it back with terrific force.
The jar, strangely enough, only broke
up one care of the long freight tram OF

would have it, stood Brakeman Sewers.
The force of the collision literally mash

fell on his head, fracturing the skull. He
was unconscious whep picked up. and has

No one else was injured, and but little
damage done to either engine. One por-

pressure on the brain caused by the
broken pieces of skull. Late last night his
condition was reported from the hospital
as very low.
