ELECTRIC BLOCK SIGNAL SYSIEM
Safety of Railroad Travel Will
 Soon Be Greatly t Increased.

CHICAGO, Dec. l0.-Safety off trav el and efficiency of operation on west ern railroads will be materially III creased as soon as the work of in, stalling automatic electric block sig. nal systems now in progress or un' der contract on three of the great western systems is complete.
 The latest sep in this direction has just been taken by the management of the Rock Island and Frisco roads who have let contracts to the Union Switch and Signal company for the equipment of 800 miles of each roao with the automatic signal system. These contracts involve an eXpendi ture of $2,000,000. The Chicago & Northwestern has also let a contract fofrcompIeting the last stretch of it's line not yet equipped between Chica, go and the Missouri river.
 Contracts Are Second Largest.
 The Rock Island and Frisco con tracts which have just been awarded are said to be the largest for a simi. lar purpose ever made, with the ex' ception of the order placed by the Hartman lines two years ago. This provides for the installation of safety signals on 2000 miles of railway.
 Rock Island officials said yesterday that while it had rot yet been den nitely decided on what parts of the line the new signals were to be in stalled, the delivery of material would begin in sixty to ninety days and the work would be started in the spring as soon as weather condition would pernit. The order was placed at this time in order to take advantage of 8 favorable price under an option that would soon expire.
 The Rock Island is now equipped with automatic electric block signals between Chicago, Rock Island and Des Moines, but the greater part oI | the system in the southwest is not fully protected in this way.

MINERAL PARK MAKES
 THE FINAL PAYMENT
Captain Burns of Bowie Re- ports Some Fine Gold Bear
 ing LedgeS,

TUCSON, Dec. 1o.--Captain Burns of Bowie, one Of the best known min ing men in Cochise county, has been in the city for the past several days in connection with the. Mineral Park Development company of Dos Cabezas and which yesterday made final pay ment through the Consolidated Ma tional bank, on a groap. of copper and gold properties, sdtaated in the east end of the Dos Cakezas range of noun tains. The captain is the Arizona rep resentatiye of the company and is an acknowledged authority on mines and mining. The lately purchased property is located at the head of Gold Gulch, froM which woxia of placer gold has been taken in years past, and was undoubtedly the source of the yellow metal taken out.
 It is more than probable that these Iedges were at one time in what, in mining parlance, Is known as 'bonan- za," and if in bonanza once there is no reason why they should not be in bonanza again and again. The fact that they are gold bearing and iie al the head of the guleh from which so much wealth has been taken indicates that they were the source of the gold found. Although Captain Burns was extremely non-committal concerning the future of his company, the inter ence is plain that capital does not buy property for the mere sake of buying but for the purpose of making money and as money can be made only oy developing a prospect into a mine consequently active operations on the property may be looked for in the near future.
 The property Is adVantageously sit uated in the matter of conVenien, transportation, t being but seven miles from Luzena station. on tne Southern Pacific.

Worlds Oldest REPUBLICS.

So far as practical considerations go
republics. Two puny republics, how
ever, long antedate the Helvetic con.
federation and in strict accuracy one
of these two must be the oldest re.

them is the republic of San Marine in
Italy, on Mount Titano, the Oldest
state in Europe and one of the small.

No fixed date can be assigned to either
of these, both are medieval relics,
and San Marino may be identified
