MOWRY'S FORECAST 0N TIE RAILROADS
Of Arizona Did Not Come True tp His Prediction Forty
 Years Ago.
(Arlzona Republicanl


 Before there was transcontinental railroad anywhere and while explora- tions were going on across Arizona to see if it were feasible to build a rail road to the coast, there were strong partisans both for a line west from Albuquerque and one across southern Arizona. Championing the latter was Lieutenant Mowry, a graduate of West Point, later the owner of the Mowry mine in southern Arizona, and the first man to operate that famous prop erty. In the sixties Lieutenant NOW ry wrote a book which was then con sidered an authority on Arizona, and ! which in many respects is still a more reliable reference volume than any thing since published It was we'll il- lustrated with old fashioned and eX- pensive wood cuts and has in recent years been reprinted by the owners of the Mowry mine. The old original vol tune, however, is today a rare and a valuable work and is found in but few libraries.
 But in bandling the railroad ques- ton in his book Lieutenant Mowry published some things that in the light of modern developments seem rather odd and even humorous. gn supporting the movement for a south ern route he presented much oata showing the impracticability of the northern Arizona route. Among other things he quoted from a speech in the senate by Jefferson Davis in 1859, the senator in turn quoting from a report made by Albert H Campbell, a evil engineer, who had been engaged in railroad surveys. Campbell said, Tn regard to the climate of winter on the Albuquerque route l am satisfied that it will be found too cold to work a railroad successfully for at least three if not four months of the year."
 Lieutenant Mowry also called atten- ton to the scarcity of water along DOT tions of the route and then added The imagination can readily pcture the terrible calamity which would in evitably befall a trainload of passen- gers enroute for the Pacific if an acci- dent should stop their progress mSi- way, upon one of those desolate ar temisia districts between the Oje de Gallo and the Little Colorado, and be- tween the valley of the Big Sandy Fork and the sink of the Mohave, where no human habitation can EVER exist between the permanent water stations"
 Those words penned only Forty years ago, and that too by one who was considered an authority ~on Ari- zona, read strangely to the peopHe of 1 the present day who travel through

RAWHIDE CAMP IMPRESSIONS BY
 AN ARIZONA WOMAN WRITER

however. Carpenters, painters and others of the trades, are paid SS a day while happy compromise effect ed between miners and ownacs has fixed the wage scale in the diggings at S4.50 and $5 day.
 But conditions are becoming hope ful. At present the nearest railroad is at SchruZ, little station on the Southern Pacific, twenty-eight miles away. Freight and passengers are brought from that place by wagon and automobile. Fruit and vegetables have added nothing to their fresh ness by the time they reach Rawhide, at the end of a ride under the ex- treme heat of the desert sun and through a country where there is ab- solutely no protection. There is not a tree, blade of grass nor a weed for miles around. Even the sagebrush, ESQ widely reputed for Sts vArihty. raises it's head only a foot above the ashy soil from which it springs and, even then, it is brown and -withered
 However, grading for the railroad into Rawhide is almost completed. The pipeline for the camps future water supply is under course of con- struction and machinery for mills is en route. There are many other evI- dences of better future. The fiotsam and jetsam class, which drift ed in and out again will not be missed by the new RaWhide, her in trepid miner, prospecrer and business man.
 And the inyincible women still are , there. They equal the men in number and ocular proof is ample that they equal the SteTner sex in courage and ambition.
 Dressed in khaki, high boots and large brimmed hats, they do up" the dishes in the morning and then sally forth in great numbers with pick and shovel to wrestle with the placer dig, gings.
 And when the wife returns at night | her pannings show her to be not only [ the comforter of man, but his equal often in point of securing the gold which our race so covets.

Mrs. Sidney Cobourn of Naco, Art- zona, is one of the few women des- ert writers. She travels through the mining camps and isolated places of the arid regions, even in the summer season, when Old Sol is causing a stampede among hardy male prospect ors
 Her trips have taken her through cut the entire Southwest, including Mexico, and her breezy articles have attracted much attention. Mrs CO burn now is in Los Angeles after a trip through Nevada While there sine visited Rawhide, of which many columns have been written. Her de scription of present conditions, in the new camp, which recently blazed forth so vividly, is extremely inter esting. She says:
 Picturesque indeed is the Rawhide of today. It is a city of tents, hills and mines in friendly proximity. The business center is built with an ut ter disregard for lineal designs, while the residence portion squatting, at the foot of the hill, is Mrs. Wigg's cabbage patch" of the desert.
 Tents are built at every angle, re- gardless of streets and avenues; yUu give your address, not by name or thoroughfare, but designate your stately residence by the hill which it hugs. as Balloon Hill, HOoligan Hill, Grut Hill, etc.
 Rawhide, has no soi-distant 400" Everyone is out with the pick ana shovel, too busy to wield the nam mer." It is a whoIe-souIed, altruistic aggregation of people, who take a most optimistic view of the camps comatose condition and meet one with every palpable argument for an early awakening, for, you must know, Rawhide came down with meteoric rapidity, even in the day of it's glory, when the little place teemed with it's N 10000 souls and phenomenal strikes were announced at every swaying of the great crowd.
 At the time of the exodus of dis appointed gold seekers equaled the incoming of fresh hopefuls, but the condition could not last. The popula- tion was years in advance of mine development Rawhide was like an overgrown school boy. The aurifer- ous mother hills were unable to pro vide clothing to cover the protruding wrists and lean ankles of her rapidly sprouting offspring. There were nc mills, no railroads, no wood and no water.
 The crowds vanished. It is the ex. perience of every immature mining boom And Rawhide will defer the esuTrection-"~~tain to come, in my honest opinion-until the necessities are provided and greater means of de velopment provided.
 Wood and water now are hauled eight miles. The igurative expres- sion, burning money" becomes a re- ality there wS<n the odor of ignited tamarack, at s25 a cord, reaches the olefactory nerves of the consumer and. before the playful feet of a joy. ous spring danced about the camp. this fuel commanded S60 a cord.
 Water now is dispensed at only 20 cents a bucketful or S1.50 a barrel having taken a drop from $2.50 bar rel. At Rawhide bathing is a vain and sinful pleasure.
 These values and the cost of food stuffs are not inconsistent with wages

An appetite for Chicago dishes, in cluding chop suey. which recently cost Chicago over S2,000,000 a year, now is rapidly diminishing. Four of the big chop suey restaurants, which bore the oriental nams of King Yen LO." Joy Yet Lo," King Joy To" and Wee Ying," have closed their doors within few weeks and others are on the verge of it. According to common report the "suey'' sauce is either imported or made from import, cd Chinese seabsans, but an essayist discussing the lack of national taste in food in America, declared that the oriental sauce, like many other cu- rious specialties, is made at the stock yards in Chicago. The sudden change of fickle fancy has left the Queued chop suey men puzzled and , with some highly decorated and ex- pensiye furniture and furnishings on their hands. some being elaborately inlaid with mother of pearl Concern ing the matter of food the essayist said: American taste in food has been depraved because of the cos
 -uopolitan population. The chop s5sey habit, so-called, is the most recent manifestation of American degeneTa- 1 cy in food. Chinese food is not bad, lit is scientifically better cokked than the American sausage. but it forms one more link in the chain of the de generate American appetite"

CHICAGO. July 29-Increased pro

 10 statistics which have just been compiled by the government geologi- cal survey. Illinois, which in1S06,
 was third in production, is now sec ond and West Virginia has dropped to third place. Pennsylvania is still first on the list. Illinois production
 for 1907. as given in the report, was .51, ,317, ,146 short tons, having a spot value of S54,6S7 1882. Export of coal
 from this country to Canada, Cuba and elsewhere nave ben steadily growing and this year promises to break all existing records. Latest government reports show total ex- ports of coal for a period of eleven
 months as 11,565,242 tons, with a val ue of SS5,750637 Corresponding fig ares for 1907 showed total of only

CHARLESTON. Feb. 1S.-The DEM
ocrats in the senate yesterday made
their usual attempt to defeat the adj
measures when House
Bill No. II. the Staunton bill to limit
levies, and the most important bill of
fered at the present session of the leg
islature. came up on second reading.
After the amendments recommended
by finance committee had been adopt
ed Senator Campbell moved to strike
out the enacting clause which motion
was lost by strictly party vote.
The finance committee recommend
ed a few changes in the bill which
passed the house. The limit of levies
in counties was placed at 35 cents
instead of 80 1-3 and in municipalities
so instead of IS for the year 1908.
After this year the limit was fixed
at 35 instead of 80 cents. The spe-
cial road and bridge levy was cut from
% to 90 cents and It was provided that
any elections for an increased levy
might be held at any general or spe-
cial election. otherwise the bill went
to the third reading as 1t came from
the house.
