The FL Paso & Southwestern rail-
road system has adopted a new trade
mark, which will as soon as practical
BILE, be placed on all its rolling stock
and stationary. The design chosen
was worked up by Travelling Passen-
ger Agent Garnett King, which was
selected from a large collection of
other similar suggestions and draw
ings. The trade mark consists of
the profile of an Indians head, with
the word copper" in a band over
the forehead, surrounded by circle,
which in turn, is surrounded by the,
words SCI Paso & Southwestern in
another circle. 1t is very neat and
attractive, besides being distinctive
from any other insignia in use by
other railways. The work of placing
the emblem on all cars of the COM
pany will begin on March I.
United States Marshal Ben F.
Daniels in conversation with Phoe-
nix Enterprise reporter concerning
the anti-gambling bin, said: cal
though my appointment has not been
confirmed by the senate 1 am still
the marshal, and if this bill passes it
will be enforced to the letter. The
Littlefield bill covers gambling of
every kind, and although it was in
the main intended to put a stop to
the running of open games in the
territory, it will also mean that no
more society card games will be
tolerated. The inoffensive little
game at the club and at the big
society event, and the game where
thousands change hands, are all
classed alike and the people who in
dulge in any of them will be prose-
'cuted with equal vigor."

Verde Hawkins, and Reuben Wood,
he probably would haye been killed.
Hawkins and Wood were on the 200
foot level and in some way caught
him so as at least to break the full
force of his 6O-foot fall. AS it was

between the knee and thigh, and an
arm crushed between the elbow and |

along nicely.-Phoenix Republican.
o. w. Banta, a prospector living
in Stafford, while prospecting in the
Graham mountains last week, found
a valuable marble claim which gives
promise of making the locator and
his partners wealthy. Mr.. Banta is
an old prospector, having followed
that business for number of years
for a livelihood, and it is not neces-
sary to say that he lost no time in To-
bly, surprised to run across a marble
claim of such magnitude and so near
a railroad and market. Mr.. Banta
brought to the Journal office a few
samples, which have been pro-
nounced to be of fine quality, re-
smooth, easily polished,
and the slabs are uniform, vary
ing in size and thickness from one
half to thirty inches, and to any de-
'irable ngth.-Safford Journal.
