SQUARE DEAL FOR RAILROADS.

We heartily agree with the following aken from the Tombstone Prospector
 "The manner in which the Ari- zona Gazette chooses to deal with the freight schedules of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railway, and the seemingly apparent desire of that organ of the people to use the Arizona Railroad Commission as a shield behind which it seeks to indulge in purely personal at tacks on Hon. F. NJ Murphy. seems to be not only wandering from the ordinary paths of mod ern journalism; but is in effect. an attempt to prostitute the power of the Railroad Commission to uses for which Its creators never intended.
 ''The question of freight rates on any particular line of railroad or in any particular locality and regulation urgeu, but should also be dealt with by a newspaper in an impersonal manner. Aside from what might appear to be true journalistic ethics. these purely personal articles in newspaper like the Gazette-boastfui of it's close alliance with the people sayor somewhat of ingrat.tude. Be- fore the Gazette became the great mediator of the people, and before Frank Murphy ever had the pleas ure of seeing his personal pro noun capitalized in its columns. Phoenix was an alfalfa settlement at the tail end of stage line and the great resources of the Salt River valley unknown Today Phoenix enjoys railroad terminal facilities unequaled. and the pro ducts of the valley are soonest and choicest on the worlds market.
 Gratitude alone should prompt the people not to forget the man of all men who is largely responsi- be for this condition. Other DOT tions of the territory are sensible of what Mir. Murphy has done in the upbuilding of Arizona and will not soon forget.
 Publish all the information you have in relation to the unjust dis crimination in railroad rates, MT. Gazette, but be impersonal. Cut out the rough stuff"

TRAINS WILL RUN ID CUMPAS

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 2S.-tSpeciaD The International was told yesterday that the concession of the Mexican government to the Southern Pacific for its Inc which has been under con. struction south of Nacozari during the past three years requires that trains shall be in operation over distance of thirty-fve kilometers south of Mac ozari during June, 1910.
 The greater part of. the heavy rock work in the Nacozari canyon has now been completed, ready for the rails. This leaves only about twelve miles of grading to be done to reach Cum pas with the track. Thirty-five kilo- meters would not take the road as far as Cumpas, but as there is impor- tant mining interests now ready for operation Tn the Cumpas district, awaiting railroad transportation from that point it is quite likely that when tuS WOEh is Stoitcu to luthit thc " quirements of the concession that the grade and track laying will be com pleted not only to Cumpas. but on to Moctezuma twenty-five miles beyond, where there are also many promising mining enterprises of importance which would be stimulated to action among them the Promontorio wh' cf time the 1907 panic struck the coun try. interfering with all industrial bus mess, both in this country and in Mex

The Love of Home.

John c. Latham, the New York
millionaire, is lead, and to-day his
mortal remains will be laid to rest
in the beautiful Riverside Cemetery
in his native city Of Hopkinsville,
Kentucky. Back where his young
manhood joys had been he is buried
by his own request.
Mr.. Latham lived in New York,
but he was not of it. He was there
because it gave him a wider scope
for his abilities as financier, but
ever his heart yearned for the sunny
skies and the limpid waters Of his
old Kentucky home. and in his
dreams he would doubtless wonder
if he could ever turn loose the cares
of life and rest in the home of his
birth free from turmoil and strife;
free from the cares Of business; free
from the harassments, the annoy
ances, the unreliabilities of a world
where the Almighty Dollar was the
god they all worshipped. With eyes
looking Southwark, he would say
with Goldsmith:
"Where'er ] roam, whatever cline
to see,
My heart, untraveled, fondly turns
to thee;
Still to my brother turns with cease
less pain,
And drags with each remove a
lengthening chain.
He is home at last; but it was af-
ter life's ftful fever. He is resting,
but it Is beneath the sod. He has
laid down the cares of business, but
he can never take them up again.
Mr.. Latham never forgot his love
of home. His native town was al
ways the object of his tenderest so
licitude and care. Her citizens new
er asked him in vain for assistance.
No Kentuckian ever left him empty.
handed His wealth was with him
largely the instrument for welld,-
ing. He left behind him legacy
of we'll doing, but above all, he left

Council Adiourns

The city council met in regular
session Friday night and on motion
the mayor appointed a committee
who reported the following rtsolu
tons, which were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, the City Council of Hop
kinsville, Kentucky, has learned
with profound sorrow and regret of
the death of Mr.. John Campbell
Latham, of New York, a native of
this city, and its most generous ben
efactor. whose constant and disin-
terested aid through many years has
been an important factor in its ma,
terial growth and general welfare;
and, whereas, in common with the
entire community, we have ever
loved him as q friend, while recog-
nizing his splendid worth as man
of pure patriotism and noble ideals,
and truly approaching the magnan-
unity and benehcence which unfail-
ingly characterized all his relations
with the city; and whereas in his
death we feel q sincere and deep
personal grief and know that the
city of Hopzinsville sustains an ir-
reparable loss:
Therefore, be it resolved, That we
fully endorse the promptitude of
the Mayor in expressing officially to
the bereaved family, on behalf of
the city, sympathy and coincidence,
and heartily approve his proclama-
ton to the citizens looking to the
performance of proper respect on
the part of the community To the
distinguished dead
Be it resolved, That the continued
prosperity and progress of the city
of Hopkinsvile is due in a notable
measure to Mr.. Latham's keen in
terest, sagacious advice and great.
hearted liberality, attesting for all
time his beautiful affection for his
old home
Be it resolved, That our grief
over his death is mingled with our
gratitude for his countless good
deeds and that we shall ever cherish
in loving memory the sterling vir-
tues. delightful personal attributes
and inspiring career of the upright,
philanthropic, public spirited gen.
tleman, whose benefcent activities
were only stopped by the heavy
hand of pain and whose warm SYM
pathies only the blighting presence
of death could chill.
Be it resolved, That to his widow
and daughter we extend our most

All along both sides of the streets

more than a mile. the sidewalks
were lined with people, many of
them colored and the solemn sorrow

passed. The streets from the resi-
dence to the cemetery were sprink
led and there was no dust and the
weather was ideal.
The attendance was too large and
the people too widely distributed to
make anything like correct esti
mate. 1t is probable that not less
than 5000 were at the cemetery and
fully as many along the route and
in the streets around the residence.
The bridge was provided with tenn
porary floor and after being used for
the occasion was closed again at
six o'clock.
The whole city and county joined
in showing respect to the deceased
philanthropist and nothing was left
undone to show the heartfelt sym

LIKES THE TRIXEY
Surface Working on Claims Nets Very
 Pretty Sum

PHOENIX, Feb. 2O.-L. J. Horton, principal owner of the stock of the Trixey mining property, about thirty miles northeast of Phoenix, was in the city yesterday making arrange ments for development work on a pre- tentious scale. He believes that the Trixey properties will develop into great mine and in this belief he is not alone.
 Horton is a genius in many respects. Evidences of this fact are not lacking to anyone wno visits the Trixey claims and observes the ingenuity displayed by their owner in developing them. Horton made his own grubstake as he has needed it for several years.
 When provisions ran low he hauled his free-milling ore four miles to the river, manufacture and built his own arastering process and banned out enough gold to continue his work. When the grub supply again grew slack and ne was working in another charae- ter of ore he hauled water four miles to the mine, erected his own cyanide plant and acted as his own mechanic and millman.
 In this way Horton secured between $s,OOO and $1O,OOO from his surface workings. Now he has come to face the necessity of going deeper to prove the value of the property. The hand windlass will not answer the purpose so Horton mas incorporated his eompa- ny and offered a limited amount of stock for sale, the proceeds to be used in sinking a shaft to the water level, which is estimated at between 400 and 800 feet.
