Is a Hard Proposition.

Not t-withstanding the fact that the washout on the Santa Fe at Truxton canyon, near Kingman, has been repaired, the repairs are only temporary 'sand passage" of trains over the dan9ged road is necessarily slow
 The Truxton canyon section of road has given the Santa Fe trouble ever since the road was constructed. Various engineers have inspected the ground and recommended changes which it was believed would remedy the trouble, but all changes have been of no avail. The tracks have been moved from one side of the canyon to the other, have been showed up the side of the hill, but no matter what the change, nor where the tracks are placed, the flood waters seem to find them and summer or winter, the Santa Fe has the same trouble.
 Santa Fe officials are expecting at any time to be notified of an- other washout at Truxton, and to have another general tieup. Those who are familiar with the history of the Truxton section have come to the conclusion that a public meet ing of protest will do about as much good toward keeping the road in permanent repair, as all the repair work that can be done.-Albuquer- que Journal.

found that the rich shoot extended 1000 feet or more on the surface. Every place he dug into the shin ing gold was found. The rock is a dark quartz mixed with spar. Col. Woods took two samples of the ore and one sample of the gangue and made a night walk for Kingman to gently break the find to his part ners. He hit the high places like a man with wings under his coat. When his partners looked upon the gold and saw that it was good, Ira let go of a family porterhouse and Dr. Hughes filled an order for old bourbon without putting on the ten year label. To verify the sense of the eye an assay was had and the returns, as follows, show that all that glittered was gold, some silver: No. 1, 173 ounces gold, 80 ounces silver; No. 2, 80 ounces gold, 40 ounces silver; No. 3, porphyry gangue, 6 ounces gold. This argues for itself. Ira George and Colonel Woods returned to the mine with twenty-five sacks to cut down large sample and get more accur- ate average. The proposition re- mains as above as far as present information. goes. Further investi- gation may or may not modify the importance of the find, but nothing is too big to expect from that "treas- ure vault" of Mohave county. In this mineral belt a man may be swimming along with the wave to- day and tomorrow he may be rid ing the tide of fortune.

Hartman Controls Santa Fe

Following the announcement that the Standard Oil interests had purchased $2O,OOO,OOO worth of the stock of the Santa Fe railroad, comes the authoritative statement that at the coming meeting of the stockholders Wm. Rockefeller and H. c. Prick will be elected to the directorate, to represent the Rocke- feller interests.
 This announcement Is taken in Wall street to mean that Hartman and the Standard Oilinterests have scored another signal victory in the fight for the control of the great railway properties of the, country.
 It is believed that the Rockefel- lers have gained control of the San ta Fe and Hartman will eventually be placed in control of the: system. He is very closely affiliated with Standard oil interests and is known to exercise general supervision over the Rockefeller railroad inter- ests- a --+
 Railroad men feel that this is only one move toward carrying out the huge scheme of railroad consol- fdation which will eventually be realized.
 The plan, when perfected, will mean the unification of all the rail- roads in the country under the six great heads-Morgan and Hill, Rockefeller and Hartman, Gould and Vanderbilt.

SHEEpMEN NOW
 HAVEBIGCHANCE

Elmer Bullard, of Evansville,
 Wis, one of the oldest and best known wool buyers in this country, arrived at the yards yesterday with four carloads of lambs that he bought in Monte Vista, Colo, while out in the San Luis valley buying
 wool, says the Kansas City Drovers' Telegram of Feb. 16. It was MT. Billiards first trip to that: country and his first visit to the Kansas City yards. Mir. Bullard'has fol- lowed wool buying for over25 years, and handles about 4 ,OOO, ,OOO pounds annually. He went out to the San Luis valley to purchase wool and secured several car loads of the com ing spring clip, and he intends to return there and make other pur- chases. He was surprised and pleased with the valley and is of the opinion that it is the coming great sheep feeding district of the entire west. +...,
 ''The San Luis valley" said MT. Bullard, ''is simply a wonder. It is bound to be one of the best feed ing districts in the entire sheep pro- ducing country, and the profits made there this year on sheep feed ing will make many men of ordi-. nary circumstances rich. The qual- ity of the mutton produced in that district is superior to that of many other localities, and that is in favor of the beafed sheep. And the quali- ty of wool grown on sheep in that country is far superior to that raised in the east. But to offset this there is greater waste to the wool raised in Colorado than the east. But. to offset, this there is Ia greater waste to the wool raised in Colorado than the east. But the mutton in Colorado is better than in the east, and it is bound to be in favor. The climate in the San Luis valley is as near perfection as can be found and this is greatly to the advantage to the sheep feeders there.
 "The number of sheep in this country this year is 9,OOO,OOO short of last year. This means great deal, and it means that it will be safe to engage in the sheep indus try at the present time, as it is bound to take from five to seven years to breed up and regain this loss. The present high price of sheep will induce every sheep own CT to sell off just as closely as pos sible, and that is bound to keep the number down. Many years ago there was used more wool to the person in the United States than there is today, since cotton has come into general use, but quar- ter of a century ago there was very little demand for mutton. Today the demand is great, and it is on the increase right along. This with the shortage in the number of sheep and the high price of wool is bound to make sheep raising and feeding | very profitable for several years to come"

WILL LEGISLATURE
 PASS BULLION TAX

We are not surprised to learn that there is a hesitancy on the part of the members of the legisla- ture about enacting a bullion tax law during the present session. We do not believe that many members of the legislature would be able to pass intelligently on the merits of any bill which proposed to levy a tax on the gross output of the mines of the territory. A tax which can be borne by some of the producers might prove to be such burden as to put other producers out of busi- ness. The amount of product by mining company, taken in gross, is .no guide by which to estimate the profits. If a mining company is employing thousand men and producing bullion without mar gin of profit sufficient to meet the bullion tax and a fair interest on the investment the additional bur- den of the tax on the gross bullion output might work to kill the goose that lays the golden egg of employ ment of labor in some of the pros porous camps of the territory. In this connection we desire again to state that in our opinion it would be unwise to attempt to pass bull- ion tax law at this time, but this matter should be deferred until definite data can be obtained in re- lation to the exact condition of the mines of the territory.
 We believe the recommendation of the governor should be followed in the matter of providing a reve- nue commission to make investiga- tion of the subject of mine and rail road taxation in Arizona; such a commission we believe would re- ceive the hearty cooperation of the mining companies and that it would be able to submit to the next legislature reliable data that would prevent any injustice being done to anyone in any change in the mode of assessing the mines of the terri tory that might be thought desira- ble. For many years the bullion tax bill has regularly made it's ap- pearance in each succeeding legis- lature and as many times as it has appeared the editor of this paper has opposed it's passage on the ground that in our opinion no such a law can be made to bear equally on the various enterprises in the territory. For instance, would it be a square deal to put the same tax on bullion produced from 10 per cent copper ore in Jerome as would be placed on copper bullion produced from 8 per cent copper ore at Clifton and Morenci?
 In Arizona we know some of the mines have yielded princely for tunes, while in others what would be considered princely fortunes have been lost. This paper hopes to see the utmost care taken by the legislature to get at the bottom of the proposed bullion tax law and find out just what would be it's re- suit before it endorses a measure which might result in infinite more harm than good.-Bisbee Review.

than it was a year ago, bills in port
folio being $59. 25O. 600 more, whereas the
metal stock was the lowest in four
years This was particularly true of
the gold supply. While the movement
of gold recently had been almost Who'll

foreign exchange was not particularly
favorable to Germany. Still the year
end requirements We're approaching
and unusual demands on the bank must
be met owing TO the great prosperity
Of the country and activity in all
branches of production.
President Koch referred TO the at
tempt of the Imperial bank 10 sell

Friday which almost wholly failed not
withstamding the sharp advance in the
private rate of discounts. In Conse-
quence of this one or two of the mem
