\ CHANGE has recently occurred in the management of the Gila Valley and Globe railroad, whereby Epes Randolph has been elected president, vice Wm. Garland, resigned, who has been president since the road was completed in 1S9I. MT Randolph was long with the <. r. railroad, with headquarters at Tucson. It is taken for granted by this change of man. aGement that the control of the road is now with the S P. people. Any change will be of benefit to the road. Mir. Randolph is an untirin% hustler. and no doubt will put a passenger train on the road, which should have been done long ago Doubtless many improvements will be made to the line, but if not Phelps-Dodge may find it necessary to build road of their own into Globe. The =. F. off clals now know what Phelps Dodge can do, and they will doubtless give them good service and other reason- able concessions

". F. NICHOLS, of Wilcox, has been appointed secretary of Arizona, vice |. T. Stoddard. resigned. Mir. Nichols has long resided in Arizona, and for some time past has been territorial auditor, which position he will now resign. The change will take place April lst. MT. Nichols appointment is most ac- ceptable 10 the people, first, because he is in every way qualified for the position, and. second, because he is, and has long been, a resident of Ari- zOna. Stoddard' resignation is a joke with those who are acquainted with the facts. His administration was not credit to the republican party. However, he is now down and out, and the ERA is willing to let it 20 at that.

THE republican party of New Mexico is not pleased with the pros poets of merger with Arizona. as the following resolution passed at the recent territorial convention attests ::
 I've favor and are of right entitled tO statehood within the boundary lines Of our territory as they now eX- ist. We hereby express our confi- dence in the national administration and congress to deal with us in the matter of statehood fairly and justly"
 The last paragraph, however, means that they will accept the merger rather than nothing. It is under stood that the democrats as a class are favorable to the merger, hence if the bill admitting the two territories as one state leaves the question to a majority of the voters of both terri tories, the measure will undou btedlv carry, even though Arizona's vole should be cast sOlidly against it. The ERA iS not familiar with the pro- visions of the statehood bill now be- ing drawn, and which will doubtless be passed in a very short time. When the first merger was proposed the bill as then drawn gave the peo- pie Of either territory the right to affirm or reject the proposition at the polls This left the confirmation of the merger with the people of either territory, but it is not likely that the new bill will be so framed. hence there is grave danger that Arizona may be forced into union with New Mexico regardless of her wishes in the matter. From the fact that Gov ernor Otero, who opposed the merger. was elected national delegate by the convention which passed the above resolution, would indicate that he has changed his mind on the ques- ton, and is now willing to take hls chances on the merger.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the Tucson Star, names Wilson, Powers and Packard as possible democratic candidates for congress, aud Wells, Fowler and Cooper as probable re- publican candidates. The Star seems to have overlooked the fact that Mark smiths old time friends will most likely ask for his nomination. But the Star is not very friendly toward the eX-delegate. Then there is Col <. A. D. Upton, of Tombstone, man of brilliant parts. whose name has also been suggested. He's demo- crat all right and an orator from away back. By the way, what's the matter with newspaper man for congress-? O'Bryan Moore, for instance, of the citizen, Editor Hughes, of the Star, or George II Kelly of the American, all good men with brains to spare, and also democrats?

NJ. NJ. Miller. one Of the discOverers of the Alhambra mine at Bullard' 's Peak, New Mexico, for many years one of the richest silver mines in the south west, died at his hCme in Salt Lake City on the 18th instant. He had been residing in Salt Lake City for several years. and was one of the managing directors Of the mining exchange, where he enjoyed the reputation of being the squarest man on the ex- change. He was possessed of un- bounded energy, and with certain amount of dash which made him a successful miling man and operator. He was instrumental in opening up some phenomenally rich copper mines in northern Arizona. and was also in- terested in mining enterprises in Utah and Idaho. While he had long resided in the west, he had retained the teachings of a gentle Christian mother, and was singularly free from all vices. He was man of fine princi- pies and many virtues, and with-all kindhearted and generous to a fault. as many still living in the southwest can attest. Deceased leaves wife and son fourteen years of age to mourn his loss. Peace to bis ashes.

A party consisting Of Mrs. c. p. Rosecrans, Misses Fessler, Pearce, Asn ton and Deck and Mat Danen- hauer spent Sunday last at Standard exporting the Standard Copper mines. The party was out for experience, so they made the trip from the ore bins at the Coronado railroad to the mines over the aerial tramway. The tram way was in good running order, but before making the tip each em Der of the party made their will, which was left with the superintendent Of the company. It was noon hour when the party landed at the camp and after a short rest tbe gong was sounded and all enjoyed an elegant lunch, after which Superintendent Rosecrans guided them through the workings of the mines. The mines were exported from beginning to end and each expert made separate re- port, but owing to the scarcity Of space we will not attempt to print them. The ladies enjoyed the ride in the ore buckets and were fattering with their compliments to the super tntendent in the manner in which he received them and no doubt will wan- der back to the camp some time in the near future.
