By the cut of 2i loads can be taken from Elpaso into Don Louis by one engine. where 8 helper can shove the who Q train into Bisbee, or pull it by detail. Through freight need not be uncoupled at all Under the present system, the train has to be cut in two at Forest and run into Bis bee or Don Louis in two sections causeing delay and the expense Of ia creased power ard help.
 The probabilities are that when the cut off is in operation, the presen track from Don Louis to Forest vii be pulled up. The result would bt of no disadvantage to the Copper Glance and surrounding properties a! the road would only be little mot than a mile away. and the wagon road can be made much better thar the present one.

MINING.


 It is of course impossible to see through the ,earth. but it is easy enough in these progressive days to read the hand writing upon the wall. At Douglas the collossol preparations in the direction of works, speak vol tunes for the system of mines with which the sme ters are identified. Ii the c. & A. were not expanding like "a rosebud in a June shower, it would not be straining every nerve to in yrease the capacity of it's reduction plant. It is not a stock scheme. as the company are not trying to shove shares. If the Copper Queen did not possess untold resources in the way of ore in sight, she would not be pill ing the Sulphur Spring valley to the skies with steel and tufa and machi. nery. It is a close corporation and has no stock on the market. The conclusion is plain that these two companies. alone have mines in sight that would set the mining world dizzy to contemplate.
 In the case of the Queen. it may also be reasonably cOnjectured, that among other outcomes Of the big enterprise will be the extending of the Nacozari railroad to that camp and the general opening lp of that district where the Queeen owns considerable territory.

STATE CANNOT
RULE A CITY
So Decides the Texas Court Of
Appeals In Galveston Case.
HOME RULE A CITY'S RIGHT.
State Guardianship No Remedy for Cor.
ruptIon and Officers Must
Be Elected.
i0ME RULE A GTTrS RIGHT.

Dallas, March 26.--The state court OF
appeals. the highest tribunal in Texas,
handed down yesterday it's long expected
opinion on the Galveston government
commission case. involving the right 10
govern cities by commissions appointed
by the governor or the legislature of the
state.
The courts decision is against the con-
stitutionality OF this kind OF govern
ment and the Galveston commission is
declared to be an illegal body. This
leaves Galveston virtually without any
government and the legislature must pro-
vide a remedy.
No similar case has ever before been
tried. The court takes the position that
local self government guaranteed TO
municipalities by the state constitution
means the right TO elect their own Of
fcials, that a legislative body for a city
must be an elective body and that no
appointive officials are legal. except such
as are made by locally elected officials.
To this proposition Judge Brooks dis
sents. In their opinion. which makes
nearly 10000 words, the judges review
the history OF local self government from
the formation Of township and municipal
governments In the early days OF the
American colonies. down to the present
time. They declare that no matter IL
corrupt government does often result
from popular elections OF boards OF al
dermen and other city officials, state
guardianship is not justihable as rem
edy: that the people will eventually
eradicate the evil II compelled 10 depend
upon themselves. In other words. that
the public Is entitled TO Just such gov
ernment II will elect and stand for.
The Dallas commission. an appofntive
body by the governor. and with exten-
sive powers in municipal legislation. is
almost sure TO be attacked. and the feel
ing IL strong among good lawyers that
the court will deal with IT as II has with
the Galveston case.
