and advanced upon us. How horrible
he looked! I shall never forget IT,
Again he stopped, not more than Is

an undertaking that will hardly be for years yet. In the first place it will be ten or fifteen years before the dam on the Colo rado will be completed and that country producing to such an ex- tent as to warrant transportation other than by water. The rich mineral resources are in the coun- try proposed to be opened up, but they, too, are yet in their infancy. The proposed cut off, beginning at Holbrook and running to the Colo rado river at Parker would be over three hundred miles in length and at the general cost of $1O,OOO mile would run into figures that would hardly warrant the outlay, even figuring the saving in time for transcontinental traffic. Of course we would not be surprised to see this take place in years to come, and it undoubtedly will, but the time is not yet ripe. The Santa Fe, in it's movements now, of surveying and getting a right-of- way, is only, in our opinion, preparing itself for the future and protecting itself against possible competitors. That
 is business. As the writer above says, the Grand Canyon traffic
 means much to the Santa Fe, and it
 is not going to pass that up in any
 event.

F. B. Dorr a Gun Fighter

There was little free-for- all fight on Tenth street, Douglas, the other morning between Hogue, the civil engineer, and Franklin B. Dorr, editor of the morning paper, says the International American. Hogue did not like an article that appeared in the paper few days ago, which put him in a very bad light, and he took his revenge out on the person of the editor. From all accounts given by those who saw the fight, the edi- tor had the worst of it, and the civil engineer was given the decision on points. No knockout blow was given but knockdown took place during the course of the battle.
 For a second time the editor of the Dispatch and Hogue have lock ed horns. This time the editor went on the war-path armed with a gun of large caliber. He bearded the lion in his den, by entering the office where Hogue now hangs out, and demanded the payment of bill that Hogue owed him.
 The two men indulged in a war of words and the editor pulled his six-shooter and ordered the civil en- gineer to sit down. The gun did not frighten Hogue and he would not sit down. The editor, while holding his shooting iron in his hands gave the engineer few words of wisdom that would not look nice in print Hogue managed to get the man with the gun out of the office, and both parties to this comic opera gun fight are still alive and well.

Ranger Makes Record.

Ranger James Bailey has made record for himself in Coconino coun- ty. The other day he went out to arrest a notorious cattle rustler. He found his man and put him un- der arrest and started for Flagstaff Just before he reached the town two men rode up and threw down their Winchesters on him. He was told to throw up his hands and liberate his prisoner. Bailey could not see it that way, and he slid off his horse, at the same time pulling his 3O.40 out of it's case. He leveled the gun at the three men and ar rested the two who made the at tempt to liberate the cattle thief. Bailey brought the three men into Flagstaff and they are all bound over to the grand jury.
 Captain Rynning since he re- turned to Douglas has received a letter from the sheriff of Coconino county which is in very glowing words, says the International American, praising the bravery of Bailey in his arrest of the cattle thief and the men who tried to free

When that DOT

pr1SeS Tn ArlZ0nd. w neu IhdG DOT tion of the territory south of the Gila passed into the possession of the United States, there was not single mine working within the limits of the Gadsden Purchase, or in all of Arizona.
 Again was the mining industry interrupted; the breaking out of the civil war brought to an abrupt ending the efforts that had been made to develop the mining indus try, and retarded for years the ter ritory's advancement. The garri- sons stationed in the country were withdrawn, and the population left to the mercy of the Apaches.
 Two years of death and desola- tion passed over Arizona before the mining industry was once more re- vived. This time it was in north ern Arizona, and gold was the gilt tering prize that allured the thous- ands to the banks of the Colorado. In the year 1862, placer gold, in paying quantities, was discovered by Pauline Weaver in the neigh borhood of La Paz, and within a year over 2,OO0 men were digging after the yellow treasure in the mountains and dry gulches. A year later a party headed by the same ir.domitable pioneer, discov- cred the diggings which bear his name, in Yavapai county, and a short time after, the whole coast was electrified by the wonderful discoveries of Antelope Peak. This find attracted thousands of adven- turers to Northern Arizona, and mining received an impetus which has continued with more or less ac- tivity ever since.
 The placing of the hostile Apache on reservations in 1874, marks one of the brightest periods in Arizona's history.
 Fresh life and hope was infused into the mining industry all over the territory, and today Arizona is pushing her way to the front place as the leading mineral region oi North America. The brilliant flu ture which many of her ardent ad mirers years ago prophesized seems at last about to be realized. The legends, tales, and traditions of the past, about her wonderful wealth are proven to be we'll founded; and some of the late discoveries would show that the half has not been told about the metallic treasures of this wonderful land.

Interesting Items Purloined From

At Douglas. a few days ago, after some local excitement over the find ing of a body in well, a coroner's jury fished the body out and found it to be the remains of goat.
 J. w. Ross, an attorney of Je- rome, brother of H. D. Ross, of Prescott, left Jerome on Wednes- day, for Bisbee, and will locate either in that city, Douglas or Tombstone, where he will practice his profession. He has been a res- ident of Jerome for a number of years.-Journal- Miner.
 The 7th annual convention of the National Live Stock Association will convene in the Marquam Grand Theatre, Portland, Ore, Jan. 12, 1904, and continue through as many sessions as the business may require. E. s. Gosney, of Flagstaff, is the Arizona member of the ex- ecutive committee of the associa- tion.
 On November 22nd last mail car containing some 10 tons of sec ond- class mail matter was burned on the Missouri Pacific R. R. west of St. Louis. It has been found that much of the mail was destined for Arizona and western points and parties who were expecting eastern mail of that date will doubtless find that it was destroyed in the disas- trous wreck and fire of the date mentioned.
 The canal may mean lot of good for Arizona. Arizona has what we might term long coast line. For about 15O miles the Colorado river is navigable at all seasons of the year, and during the wet season for much farther. If that water way is opened across the isthmus it will mean that ocean steamers from Boston and New York can land their cargo at Yuma, Ehrenburg, and Parker without transfer. What will this mean to this section of Arizona, in particular, and the en- tire territory in general?-Tomb- stone Prospector.
 Constable Boscha came in from Congress Saturday having Juan Rivera in custody. Rivera is an old offender and is held to the grand jury on a charge of burglary He stole $1OO worth of goods from Hugh Stephenson, at Congress, and cached the goods. When arrested he confessed and showed the officer where the stolen goods were. He was sentenced to the territorial prison from Flagstaff, some years ago, for 25 years, but was pardoned after serving five years. He is also said to have served two short terms in. the penitentiary.-PrescottC Cou- rier.
