 Officer Fred Hawkins had an exper. fence the other day which may be con- sidered narrow escape from being blown to pieces. The foreigner who was given the limit in the county jail for holding up woman in this city, or attempting to do so, left behind him trunk at the place where he had been rooming. The proprietor of the place informed Officer Hawkins that they were afraid that something was the matter with the trunk and requested him to remove it. The officer went to the house, shouldered the trunk and took it to the office of Justice St. James, where he threw it from his shoulder with no little force. He nd the judge then opened the trunk to find that it contained enough dyna- mite to blow to pieces half the city. So me of the sticks had been cut into several pieces and punched, as if to be used for other work than that of min. ing Jerome News.

A large force of men are at work re
 pairing the washed out sections of the Arizona & Utah railroad. This line was put out of commission last Au
 gust, since which time it has failed to operate. The workmen made shoofly of the canyon north of McConnico and after laying ties and rails the storm of a few days ago swept part of it out. It is expected that the repairs will be made this week and that regular trains will be running to Chloride by next Saturday night. The failure of the road to operate has been great incon- venience to the people up the range as they depended on this avenue for supplies and to ship their ore to mar. ket.

This is the first clear day in weeks and the indications now are that we will have clearer and colder weather until the end of the montb. Not in years has Arizona been treated to so many cloudy and rainy days. Through. out the country springs are overfiowing and shafts that have been dry for years are brimfull of water. Much damage has been done in localities but the great good that will accrue to all classes of industries will more than make up for the losses. So far this month 305 inches of rain has fallen, making total of 9.29 inches since the first of January.

An amusing incident occurred a few days since in the lower house of the legislature. A bill was up prohibiting the use of passes by officials and es- pecially by mem mbers of the legislature. Members seemed little chary about going on record against the bill and at the same time seemed afraid of vot- ing for it, so as name after name was called it was responded to with the sim pie word "pass." As the roll call proceeded the ludicrousness of the sit uation became apparent to the mem

The Dominion government has acted with president wisdom in building good roads to the placer districts of Klondike. Informed men state that they attribute the sustained prosperity to this work, else Klondike would be far down the scale of gold producers. While early Klondike operators com plained of the royalty paid, they are now reaping the fruits of judicious ex, penditure of this revenue on roads. Where prospecting work proves a dis. trict sufficiently, the government has tens to connect it with an established course of traffic. An individual opera, tor could not have borne the expense, and the im possibility of harmonious action among number of free moral agents for long period after there is crying need for the same, has often been demonstrated. But for timely work by the Canadian government many of these new placer districts of the Klondike country would be value less now, and the splendid revenue yet obtained would be a memory of the stan pede times. We often wonder how it is that other governments fail to grasp the beneficence of such work as Canada has done in the far north Mining's infancy is more helpless than |
 the lusty producer of precious and use. ful metals languishes. Only after the youth becomes adult, the giant among all industries, is there that virile en. ergy that is able to weather forbidding conditions.-Pacific Miner.
