Will Soon Make Connections

According to Senator Clark the two ends of steel of the Salt Lake road will be joined within ten days or two weeks. Freight trains will at once be run, but passenger ser vice will not be inaugurated until the line has been proven to be in perfect shape, which will be about the first of the new year. Fifty one locomotives have been ordered, which will be delivered at the rate of ten a week from the first of De- cember. The machine shops and general headquarters for work will be at Las Vegas. with a secondary plant at Caliente. Four miles of sand sheds are being built across Devils Play Grounds. The con- stantly shifting sands of this wierd locality are as great an impediment to railroading as are the heavy falls of snow in the north.-Search- light (Nev.) Searchlight, Dec. ?.

s. F., p. & p. LAYING TRACK
To Colorado River--Line to Be
 Completed in Few Months

The Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix railway company will. it is said, continue track laying from the main line near Congress Junction to the Colorado river, and to that end a. contract was let on December 5 for forty miles of construction and track work. It is the intention to push this work ahead, and it is but reasonable to entertain the belief that inside of four months the loco motives will be passing through the old Cullen's valley.
 Surveys have been completed to the Colorado river by the engineers and one of the best grades in the southwest has been established from the cutoff near Congress Junction. Seven miles of track are compile ted from that point, while the road bed for greater distance is ready for the steel
 This announcement should be heartily welcomed by the mining element of especially the Quartz site district, where at present sev- eral large companies are operating, and in order to do so under trans portation conditions prevailing, the obsolete and costly method of wagon hauling is resorted to. The new railroad will be within convenient reach of every camp in the Gull lens section, and as result of the coming of the road several heavy mining sales are to be closed at once, and as we'll will the several mining companies operating there be stimulated to still greater effort.
 With all of it's favorable condi. tions in mines, without the rail- road that section has been serious ly handicapped. With the railroad cutting into it, there is every req son for the belief that this country will be very prosperous when trans portation facilities are solved Prescott Journal Miner.

IMPORTANT SUIT SETTLED
Decision in the Cochise County
 Tax Cases

The case of the Territory Ex Rel. Scribner, tax collector. vs. Tevis and Perrin, involving back taxes on the San Ignacia del Barbacomari land grant, was decided by Judge Doan yesterday. The suit as orig inally brought involved taxes for 1893, 1894, 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1903, in the sum of $12,- SO779. These assessments were on the basis of 10000 acres for the first three years and 3O,OOO acres for the remainder of the years. County Surveyor Rockfellow ascel tained that there were but 6,74354 acres of the grant in Cochise county. The grant was not confirmed until Feb 10, 1900, so that nothing but the possessory right of 16,74354 acres could be assessed prior to 1901, the confirmation coming too late to subject the fee of taxation for the year of 1900.
 Defendants had little use of or benefit from the grant for several years prior to the confirmation of the title. Settlers took possession of considerable portions of it, and paid taxes on their possessory right. The defendants were willing to pay on the grant for 1900 and subse- quent years at the assessed rate, provided the other years would be cancelled. The valuation for 1900 was $1OO, and since the valuation of the possessory right, under the circumstances, for the five years during which the possessory right only might be assessed, would prob ably not amount to $1.0O per acre, it was decided, as more advanta- geous to the county to let judgment be entered for 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1903. The county's share, princi- pal and interest, will be $5, ,7O6.14. The total judgment, costs and all, will amount to $7, ,393.S1.-Tomb- stone Prospector.

GENERAL NEWS NOTES
Interesting Items PurIoined From
 Numerous Exchanges

About eighty car loads of coal are now leaving Gallup every day. Every mine in that vicinity is em- ploying all the miners they can get.
 It is reported that all papers for the transfer of the Arizona & Utah railroad to the Gold Hill Reduc- tion company have been signed up and work of repair will soon be un- der way. The contract is under stood to cover the entire rehabili- tation of the road and it's operation on better basis.
 Acting Governor Nichols has ap- pointed the following delegates to represent Arizona at the meeting of the eighth national convention of the Live Stock association, which meets at Denver from January 10 to IA: John Munds, Prescott; w. H. McKittrick, Wilcox; Hon. w. s. Sturgis, Arivaca.
 A special dispatch to the Denver News from Fl Paso, dated Decem- Der 1, says: The romantic marriage of Edwin N Buck, Naco, Ariz., editor, to Miss Mabel Silvernail, of Denver, resulted today in a peti- tion for divorce filed by his bride, which was granted within an hour, on grounds of cruel treatment.
 Strong influences are now at work to obtain recognition from the gov ernment for the Walnut Grove dam as a desirable proposition to re- build. It is strongly believed that the efforts being exerted have not been in vain, and that this dam will be the next to receive an ap- propriat ton from the national gov ernment.
 The Arizona Sportsman's asso. citation which concluded it's tourna- ment last Sunday at Tucson, will meet next year at Phoenix. The following officers were elected to serve during the ensuing year: J. M. Aitken, president; Horace Har- rison, vice president; w. D. Tan ner, treasurer; w. L. Pinney, sec- retary.
 The Walnut Creek section of Yavapai county, among the best cattle sections of Arizona, is troubled with grey wolves, which commit depredations on the herds, to the great loss and annoyance of the stockmen. Hunters are getting few of them, but not enough to make an impression on the appar- ent supply.
 It is rumored that railroad is to be built from the main line of the Santa Fe at or near Powell, following the abandoned Santa Fe grade. thence up the valley of the Colorado to Gold Road, taking in on the line the camps of Vivian and Silver Creek. The line will be about forty miles in length and standard gauge.

Washington, Dec. Ex-Governor Brodie of Arizona called at the White House today. He said it was his purpose to remain in Washing ton until after the assembling of of congress.
 "I am here to do all I can," said he, "against the bill that is pend- ing in congress for the creation of one state out of Arizona and New Mexico. Nobody in either territory wants statehood in this way. We want single statehood. Both terri tories are entitled to statehood, and there is no good reason to attempt to put them both in one state.
 "The combination statehood bill would never have been reported if the opponents of statehood had not feared that Senator Quay would make a move that would result in statehood for New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma and Indian Territory. The fact is that the men who en- gineered this amalgamation state hood bill were not friends of state hood in any form, and adopted that plan to defeat the Quay movement.
 ''I do not regard the president as unfriendly to single statehood. 1 believe he will be contented to let congress solve the question and will approve the action of that body whatever it is."
