she idea of mail train undertaklnw to distribute a sack of U. s. mail to startled population while passing through town at a forty-miIe gait never occurred to us before.
 The distribution was perfect-as far as 1t went--and 1t seemed to 20 far enough too, from the water tank to the stockyards. but heretofore we had gotten into the habit of calling at the post office for mail and this sudden innovation of the Santa Fe mail ser vice was a little puzzling at first. To the little knot of citizens gathered at the station as. the train whizzed past it had the appearance of an Uncle Tom'E cabin snowstorm consisting Of a cloud of white bits of paper, but upon closer investigation 1t proved to be. or rather had been, g sack of mail matter destined to Fort Apache. which when kicked out of the car of the rapidly moving train was by tho suction drawn under the wheels.
 The pouch and contents were in- stantly torn to shreds and strewn  more than a hundred yards along ths track
 Most of the matter in this particu- lar pouch seemed to have been news papers and periodicals but several pieces of letters and envelopes were picked up with portions of the ad- dress still distinguishable. which indi- cated that there had also been letter mail in the bag. A few parcels, let ters. and papers were uBbroken but all were more or less damaged. The scraps and bits of mail matter were carefully picked up and list of the damaged and soiIed letters and par cells was prepared by the postmaster together with a statement of the cause. signed by dozens of eye-wit- nesses. This list and statement has been forwarded to the Santa Fe head quarters.

 PHOENIX, Ariz.. Feb. I2.-Several bills were introduced in both houses of the legislature today,
 The most important bill was one introduced in both the houses, by Bell in the lower and O'Nelll fin the upper, providing for the appointment of railroad commission which shall look after the railroads of ihe terri. tory. Tho bills contemplate a board of three commissioners, of which two shall be of one political party and the third of another party. The salary of each is to be s2,50O and they shall be appointed by the governor of the ter. ritory. They shall hold office fro two years.
 At the pfesent time the territorial board of equalization attends to the taxation of the railrUaGs and Assem- blyman Bell has introduced Il bill do. ing away with this board.
 Assemblyman Krook introduced an important bill providing that the re, ports of the public examiner shall be made public. In some counties. where inaccuracies have been shown up, the reports of the public examiner have been withheld from the public. As semblyman Krook believes that it is very much the taxpayers business to know what the public examiner finds in the different counties. The public examiner at present is W. c. Foster i of Phoenix. and his duties require that he visit every county in the territory at least twice a year. ..- | Assemblyman Burke, of Yayapai introduced bill to the effect that all first class counties may have probate 1 clerks.
 Assemblyman Bell introduced a bil providing that railroads shall not charge more than 71s cents per tor for any kind of freight per mile. He also introduced measure for the tax ation of express companies.
 A third bill introduced by Bell pro vides that sheriffs shall be allowed mileage of 30 cents a mile for peni i tentiary prisoners one way. It 1. claimed that sheriffs, under the pres ent law, when they take several pris oners to the penitentiary charge mile age for each prisoner in the bunch l Bell also introduced a bill providing | that Drting shall be allowed to tho lowest bidder and that for all sup

 Near the Sacaton Range of

Recently the Southern Pacific has been continuing the survey of its pro posed line from the San Carlos box canyon south and west, evidently with the purpose of striking the main line at or near Maricopa. The surveyors were at Florence recently, working southwest. Concerning the progress of the surveyors, after leaving Flor ence, the Florence Blade says:
 The Southern Pacific engineering corps is now about fourteen miles out from Florence straight west on their survey. The proposed line runs a half mile north of the Casa Grande ruins and north of the Sacaton mountains The engineers are moving more slow ly than was anticipated for prelimi' nary work and this can be accounted for in the fact that they are making as nearly a location. survey as it is possible to make with the first going over the ground. It is what is known as a paper location and necessitates very little additional preliminary work

 On account of the large number oi prominent railroad men, who are now in Phoenix on official business. the introduction Of ONeill's bill has been given additional importance,
 At the proper timp O'Neill will urge the passage of his bill. when it is ex. peeted that he will delve deeply Into the affairs of railroads operating in Arizona. For several years ONeiIl has rlada a close study Of this partic. uiar branch of business. and is well posted.

before construction work will be com menced.
 The road will be built north of the Sacaton mountins in case no more than 8 hve-tenths per cent grade is encountered. In case the grade ex- ceeds this, the engineers will slrvey the line south of these mountains. The survey north of the Sacaton noun. tafns leaves no room for doubt as to where this line will strike the main line, for from these hills they have a beautiful piece. of country and q straight shoot to Maricopa.
 Work has already been started or immense bridge at Maricopa to cost over half a million dollars. It is tc be a seventeen-span steel structure The work now being done Is on the approaches at both ends.
 "The report of the engineers on the condition of this country for the main line of the Southern Pacific will be the most flattering for they have no, thing but words of the highest praise as far as they have gone. If their report of favorable conditions for a railroad is all that is necessary, the road will not be delayed in construc- tion. That is sure.
