AIamOs Now Has Railroad.

On New Years Day, with elab- crate ceremonies, the new Alamos- Navoioa branch of the Cananea, Yaqui River &, Pacific Railway was formally and officially opened to the public.
 The principal address was made by Governor Torres of Sonora, during which he referred to the 'cemented friendship existing be- tween the republics of the Unit ed States and Mexico, and con- cluded his remarks with the state- ment that the building of railroads by American capital was doing more to cohere this spirit of good will existing between the two coun- tries than anything else.
 Among the high officials of the Randolph lines who went to Ala mos by special train with Governor Torres and his staff, were M. O. Bicknell, general freight and pas senger agent, and E. G. Humphrey, passenger agent of the Tucson diyi- sion, whose headquarters are at Tucson.
 The completion of the railroad to Alamos, one of Mexico's oldest, most ancient cities, and to the Alamos mining district, the richest silver section of all Mexico, means much to the state of Sonora, Mex ico. Among other great silver mines with their record of millions, in the Alamos district, are the Quintera, Promontorio, and the Zambona, near Minas Nueves. All will be greatly benefited by the new road; all should within a very short time pay big dividends.

 Two thounsand postal cards, an- nouncing that Arizona leads Mon tana and Michigan in copper pro- duction, have been issued by the board of trade. The figures were compiled by "Fitz-Mac," we'll known authority on mining. The cards read as follows;
 "The board of trade of the city of Phoenix, Arizona, (Phoenix, the Beautifully sends you glad New Years greetings, with the pleasing information that for 1907 Arizona led the world in mineral output, with total cash value of $67 ,O00,- GOO.
 Led Montana in copper output 37.OOO,OOO pounds.
 "Led Michigan in copper output 39,0O0,OOO pounds.
 ''The secret of Arizona's supre- macy lies in the fact that her total output is produced at lower aver age of cost than any other region in the world is able to produce an equal quantity"
