Ihelps-Dodge people. in whom Bisbee in particular take an especial inter. est, are after all simply human, and by the way they never started in life running railroads even after building them, and they are a success at that but mining-copper mining is their Particular stronghold, and to have their raw material and products hauled at satisfactory rate for nine ty and nine years or nine hundred and ninety and nine years. while drawing down a satisfactory dividend on Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad. dol lars invested would be most satisfac tory to Phelps-Dodge company or any person else as a rule. and the guaran- tee of the Gould system behind such a security would be pretty fair collateral. MT. Gould would then have accomplished what he is bound to accomplish. and that is have his systems extend from the Canadian line at the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic sea board to that of the Pacific. and by the way entering into what is Gest. ined to become an enormous part of the tonnage of a railway lire in the future-the Oriental trade and with the islands of the Pacific, without di- visions with ether lines. In the dim and distant horizon. it is not difficult to see passengers alighting at the wharf at San Diego, taking a through sleeper and 6isembarking at New York, the entire revenue for the haul going undivided into the strong box labled c.

Pac., and all eifC val HAA6o eOAhS tOW c1A dS the revenues of the Gould system. IL will be also a conceded fact that MT. George J. Gould, like every one else must be interested in the city of Bis bee. Every one is who ever hears of the place, but although the tips of the hairs of George J. Gould are be comingly touched with gray, his keen bright and searching eyes may still look "googoo" at the entire line of officials of the Fl Paso and South western. who simply extended him an invitation to ride over the line. and turned out zen masse" to see him ac- cept.
 It is not an unlikely thing that we shall have the pleasure of seeing MT. Gould along this way again at no far distant date.

that instead of assuring Gould stock

 any dividend, George Gould headed all
 of his properties toward dividends as speedily as possible, consistent with
 conservative management, betterment of his properties. and maintaining full ly equipments of his lines with mod ern ideas. modern Improvements. It was the elder Gould's hobby to fight his man to death. and failure to do

 fatigable manager of the Iron Noun tain out of life in the bitterest fight that was ever made by a railway man. ager pitted against the masterful Irons representing the train men of that sys- tenn. The younger Gould selected his lieutenants quietly but as effect lively. for 1t is said that no man in the Gould employ ever leaves the service in his life time. By his conservative executive ability, the Gould of today, and who oa Friday visited Bisbee. has wooed and won the confidence of capital, has drawn about him the mil lions upon millions which are at his disposal for any of his enterprises.
 Among the more able lieutenants. in fact it Is almost conceded that the Gould Napoleon Is Ramsey of the Wa bash. With that keen discernment for the future, the able president of the Wabash, secured the control of the Wheeling and Lake Erie. which had been offered to the Pennsylvania, and at an expenditure of over 5000 600 the Wabash pointed the steel bands of rail to the rich tonnage Of Pittsburg, and that enormously rich manufacturing center.
