Phoenix to Be on Main Line.

According to the Gazette, the long expected is about to happen. Phoenix is to be on the main lineiof the South ern Pacific. The Gazette learns lon the best of authority" that force ot 1000 men and 350 teams were put to work Tuesday of last week att Kelvin, Pinal county, by Col. Epes Randolph, who, it appears, has not returned to Arizona purely for his health.
 According to the Gazette's inform ant the new Southern Pacific line will be as follows: From Bowie over the Globe, Gila Valley and Northern rail- road to Solomonville; thence up the Gila valley to Dudleyyille, Kelvin, Florence, Mesa, Temps and Phoenix, From this city the line will be extend ed west to Buckeye and Arlington, and then connect with the old line at Sentinel, thus making the route short CT by something like seventy miles, and avoiding the heavy grades be- tween Bowie and Tucson, where 1t has always been necessary to operate double headers for heavy trains. The old road it is understood, will be aband- oned except for local traffic to Tucson and other towns in the southern part of the territory.

Judge Sweeney Not Assaulted Here

Mondays Los Angeles Herald con- tained about the rankest fake story that we have read iii a long time. Under lurid and sensational headlines the Herald relates how Judge Edward H. Sweeney was dying at the NadeSu ''from the effects of severe beating in Yuma at the hands of two negroes, who, it is alleged, took this means of revenge for sentence the judge had imposed upon them years ago.
 The story, dished up in the Herald, has no foundation at all Judge Swee- ney was not assaulted in Yuma. He was spending the winter here for his health and one night some one entered his room in the hotel and stole his satchel and some other articles, mostly wearing apparel A negro banned Charles H. Davis was arrested for the crime. He was indicted by the late grand jury On the charge of burglary, and was, on last Saturday, convicted of the crime charged. On Monday he was sentenced by Judge Davis to serve three years in the territorial prison.
 It may be that Judge Sweeney Is dying at the Nadeau hotel in Los An geles, but if so, it is more than likely the cause is tuberculosis, from which he has long been a sufferer.

The Fioto Circus.

Taken as a whole. the Floto show, which exhibited here Friday, gave a very good performance, though short one, and the menagerie was largely OH paper. The looping the loop" act, featured in big top lines, was nothing more than back somersault by very clever bicyclist with his feet strapped to the hub of a single wheel and get ting his impetus from big rubber cushion. The act, being performed or the ground, was commonplace.
 There was family of acrobats and tumblers whose turn was exceedingly smooth and graceful. The Japanese tumblers upheld the reputation of their nation for. .nimbleness. There was a trio of little brown men, " the largest of " l1om lay on his back and juggled the two little fellows with his feet, a la barrel act; this turn was little short of hair-raising at times. The trick horses and ponies were pleasing. The eQuestrianism and the trapeze per- formance were mediocre. A good H. lustration of the supreme confidence of well-trained dog in his master was the climbing of a ladder, nearly per pendicular, bya small canine, and with the utmost trustfulness jumping from a platform into net forty feet below.
 The after show was 'blood-curdling, y To people who admire foolhardiress, sometimes called bravery, the sight ot slender little woman courting death in a cage of savage, snarling, vicious lions and tigers. must have been truly exhilaratirg. It is only question of time when that nervy little piece oi femininity will enter the cage in full life, vigOr and assurance, and later what is left o; her will be removed in a small can in the shape of a hamburg CT rare.

Hodges Bros. riIne Sold.

The Hodges Bros. have sold their mining claims, situated in the Hodges mining district, sixty miles up the river, to some capitalists from Pomona, Cal. George Hodges retains his inter- est in the property and becomes nlem- Der of the new company which has been incorporated under the name of ithe American Flag Gold Mining Com pany, to work the mines On an extensive scale.
 Experienced mining men are of the opinion that thls group will do as many others in this section have done-prove to be million dollar properties.
 A seven-stamp mill will soon be on the ground; all the material has been pur- chased, the first shipment being now at the Yuma freight depot. Once there is mill on tha property the value of the company's stock will rise rapidly, without doubt.
 A few people have known the value of this property for sometime past; bat the difficulty in that remote country has been to get capital interested, even to the extent of an investigation of the chances there for investment.
 This is not a prospect, but really a developed property, as nearly 200 tons of ere have been milled, giving a value of over S22 per ton.

The house was occupied by Joe Smarr and family and the fire originated in their kitchen-jast how is not known. as no one was at home at the time, There seemed Co be a strong pressure of water, and the fire was put out in a few minutes. Considerable damage was done to the house and kitchen fur niture by both fire and water, but the building was not seriously scorched. With good start, however, and less prompt action by the fire department, the blaze might have developed into something approaching confiagration as there was plenty of inflammable ma terial close at hand.

OH in Alaska.

The recent account of the large ship ment of men, machinery and supplies to the Alaska oil fields aroused consid- erable interest in this new prospective industry. Like all other similar ven lures, however, the oil industry in AL aska is at present largely speculative. The same is also very true in regard to most of the medicines offered to cure stomach, kidney and liver ills. They spring up from time to time, make wonderful claims, but because of lack of merit are soon forgotten. Not SO, however, with the famous Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It has been before the public continuously for,ffty years, and if it was not safe and reliable medicine could not have stood the se- we're test of half century. For spring fever, general debility, indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, bilionsness, la grippe or malaria, it is uneeualled. Give it a trial.
