permanent home than Yuma. -Repub-

Two boys were arrested yesterday
charged with stealing some money.
One, Mel Simpson, is not stranger
to the inside of Jail, having been
there on several previous occasions.
The other was John Brown, about
sixteen or seventeen years old, the son
of Mrs. Alberta Brown. He has de
feet in his speech, which causes him
to stutter when talking, but has here
tofore borne a good reputation. His
mother. about a week or ten days ago
secured assistance from the county,
intending to go to Phoenix, on &C
count OF the sickness of an older son,
expressing her intention at the time
of leaving the following day, but evil
IDENTIFY failed to go.
The Socorro, y. NJ, Cheiftian advo-
Gates the passage of laws by the pre-
sent assembly as follows: "a law re-
quiring each county officer to furnish
a security company bond; and law
requiring county treasuIers to deposit
the public funds in their possession
liz a reputable bank offering the high
est rate of interest for such funds. -
And commenting on the subject says
''Not only is there absolutely no hon.
est objection to the enactment of
these proposed laws, and every men,
bre of the legislature and every other
intelligent citizen of New Mexico
knows that every one of them would
put an end to a great public evil. It
is to be hoped that the legislature will
nos fail to do its full duty in this re-
gard.
The surrey corps of the Santa Fe
has reached Drake with the new line,
which is to bring the gradients to not
to exceed seventy-fve feet to the mile
on the main line west of Yampai sum-
nit. So far no obstacle has been en-
countered and it is probable that this
improvement will be made before
spring. In many places heavy fills
will have to be made and much rock
work done. Between Kingman and
Wallapai valley the grade is to be cut
out entirely, the track under the new
survey being level for many miles
West of town the grade is to reach
seventy five feet, but in no place ex
coed it. 1t is for this class of better
ment that the company recently voted
to issue $50, 600, 900 in bonds, and not
for the purpose of building new lines
across this territory. The main line
of the Santa Fe will be through this
section and no diversion will ever take
place to line south. The fact that a
southern line would be at least two
hundred miles longer with no better
grades, puts the seal of condemnation
on any such project. Miner.
