A Convention Called.

Ed Flynn, President of the United Mine Workers, of America, Alabama District No. 20, today issued a call for a conven- tion of the miners in this district to be held on Saturday morning, at Il o'clock, the 18th inst. He refused to state what the meeting was called for. and what bus mess would be presented there. It Is not known whether this convention will take action looking to a formal declaration of strike or will accept the offer of the op- orators which is a renewal of the old contract with an advance of 1-2 cents per ton on the mining wage. President Flynn refused positively to say whether he had received any better offer from the operators or not. or whether there was any desire on the part of the mem- bers of the United Mine Workers to ac- cept the offer already made. Indications point to declaration of a strike. The convention will most likely be in execu- tive session. There has been no breaking away from the organization since the suspension began except at Virginia City,
 where about six or eight men have start ed in digging coal. The operators are anxiously waiting the outcome of the con- vention of the miners on Saturday, also.

What the Rock IsIaad Is Doia1.

That the Rock Island is making
vigorous efforts to reach the Pacific
coast is very apparent; and it is just
as apparent that Arizona is going to
be greatly benefited by the construc-
ton of the road. The information
comes from a strictly reliable source
that the Rock Island people arc get
ting ready TO continue their road to
make direct connections with San
Diego. The engineers report of the
route has been made and now q corps
of mineral exports is in the field ex-
amining the character of tho mineral
deposits along this route to determine
how much business might reasonably
be expected from tho mines that would
be opened up by this road.
The route reported by the engineers
is through Fairbank, Ajo, Quijotoa,
Tucson and then almost directly to
Yuma. At Yuma it will connect with
the proposed San Diego Eastern. This
latter road will pass through the new
Imperial country. The whole road
will be considerably the shortest route
from Chicago to the Pacific coast and
will by its overland connections open
up great opportunities for water trans
portation through the Gulf of Cali
fornia. If the route between Tucson
and Yuma is not approved another
survey will be made which will prob
ably be through Phoenix and the Salt
River valley.-Phoenix Enterprise.

The CamelS Again.

The death of Hi jolly, the camel
driver imported here .by.the govern
ment manyiyears ago, is calling up
"reminiscences of the animals which
were found to be impracticable for
transportation purposes and turned
loose to rustic for themselves. For years
they were the terror and tribulation
of freighters along the route of the
camel's feeding ground. A teamster
with sixteen mules, driving between
Aubrey and Signal, one day was COM
ing down a long hill whom two camels
jumped up alongside the road within
few feet of that mule team. One Whit
was: enough for those mules. In less
time than it takes. to tell it there was
a wild rush of sixteen mules the other
way. They capsized the wagons, tore
everything to pieces and scared the
driver into a fit of nervous historical
profanity from which he did not
recover for some time. The camels
have been seen by cowboys and others
at intervals ever since, but of late
years seem to have disappeared.
About month ago, however, Lou
Wells, prospector, miner and cow
puncher, well known In Chloride. hap
pened to run OH to three of them bs-
tween Rawhide and Ehrenbero. The
came.s were much smaller, having
retrograded apparently from inbreed-
ing, being no larger than good sized
burros. One smaller than this WAS
with them, colt probably six months
old. No doubt in fifty years from now,
if not exterminated, they will be Sc
small as to be regarded as curiosities,
no larger than a Belgian hare. This
session of the legislature, some idle
day, should pass law protecting this
rare species and in a few years our
territory will be credited with the
eighth wonder of the world.-The

on Forest Conditions in Arizona"
Professor Kellogg says. in part:
"The person who travels across
southern Arizona on tho railroad is
very likely to think that the whole
region is nothing but a desert, with
little present value and small hope for
the future. He passes through an end
less succession of sandy or Rravelly
valleys and slopes, interpreted with
rocky ridges. all scatteringly covered

bush and similar growths, which have
triumphed in the struggle against arid
conditions. Mountain ranges arc al
ways in sight, and they. too. look
barren and forbidding, with little sug-
gestion of beautiful forests and streams
clear, cold water which dash headlong
down the canyons and over granite
precipices, among stately pines. frs,
and spruces. The timber resources of
northern Arizona are we'll known; but
in general only the residents of the
southern portion of the territory are
aware of the extent of the forest areas
in the surrounding mountains.
"Careful estimates show that the
Huachuca Mountains have an area of
20, 900 acres capable of sustaining con-
ferrous forest; the Graham Mountains,
5000 acres; the Chiricahua Mount
aims, $4,000 acres. while the Santa
Catalina Mountains bring the total ef
the four ranges up to at least lac, 900
acres.
sThe greatest elevations are from
5000 to 10000 feet, and good forest Is
not common below 1000 feet, since it
is only from that altitude upward that
the precipitation is sufficient for tho
growth of valuable species. Soil con-
ditions are geod except in the sections
that have been visited by FIRE. While
no streams of permanent flow issue
from any Of these mountains. there
are springs or small streams in all
of them which frequently send water
down to the line of the enclosing
desert"
The article is valuable as helping
to give people a better idea of the
many valuable resources of Arizona.

Arizona's Female Bandit.

There is something fntiguing about
the efforts of yellow newspapers in the
east to exploit the wretched Pearl
Hart as the "Fenale Bandit of Ariz-
ona." She is about as much of a
bandit as coyote is. "Broke" on
the desert, and stimulated by morph-
inc, she and a worthless, cowartily and
degenerate male companion managed
to summon enough nerve to stop q
"Reuben" stage driver. The pair
were promptly captured. and sent to
the penitentiary. Her fellow "bandit"
was such a desperate character that
he was almost Immediately made a
''trusty" around the prison. and served
as cook for the snperintendent's
family. One day he sauntered away
and never came back, and there never
was any public outcry for his ap-
prehensien and return to prison. In
prison the woman was the same low
creature that she was when free-her
vocabulary of billingsgate gaining in
richness while behind the bars. So
illiterate that she can hardly write
her own name, she is exploited as
educated and accomplished" and is
to go on the stage. In paroling her
the governor wisely provided that she
should leave the territory. and if east
ern people wish to accept her as ''the
female bandit" and Arizona actress,
they are welcome to her society 30 far
