 The move which he will father will without doubt prove of interest to the Bisbee members of the order.

TO FORM COMPANY
 ID WORK PROPERTY

Preparing to form a company to promote development of the Pelzer group of claims, situated fin the Can anea district adjoining the rich Du- luth and Sonora property, B. s. Pelzer passed through the city last evening on his way to Omaha and Duluth.
 Mir. Pelzer has been in correspond. ence with group of capitalists for several months and it Is probable that formation of the company will take place immediately after his ar rival at the Minnesota metropolis. The property which consists of 1.000 acres of ground, most of which is well mineralized, lies just outside of the copper belt of the camp. The principle values of the ore are silver lead-gold. The average returns per ton, MT Pelzer states, are one ounce gold. five ounces silver and forty per cent lead. Six men are employed at present, working in a tunnel which Is the main working of the prospect
 If MT. Pelzer is successful in pro noting the company, work upon a large scale will be undertaken shortly after his return and preparations to fully develop the latent resources of the mine be started. It is his belief that in the Pelzer group he has a bonanza when proper depth Is at tained.

SPEED ON ENGLISH RAILROADS
Noticeable Improvement Has Besn
 Made Within Few Years.

A steady improvement in the fGctii. les for travel oa English railroads in ne last ten or a dozen years is re 'ealed in an elaborate review of this rear's service by Engineering. The ad yances include an increase in the number of trains making long runs without stop. the general use of res :aurant cars and operation at higher sneeds than were formerly deemed eafe and practicable
 The most notable gains in speed are observed in comparatively short fans. Anything like 56 or 57 miles an hozT for greater distance than 25 miles was almost unknown in England in 1895. Now il is sustained or sur passed regularly on four different lines. One, the Caledonian, has three trains daily which travel g miles at a rate ranging from 5 to 61 miles an hour. The Great Northern operates the same number Of trains for 90 miles at the rate of 56 miles an hour. and the London & Northwestern and the Great Western each has l4 regular trains daily which maintain
 
 this speed. tsis -s-.s,.7T saS 102 miles and tie latter for 125 rs--z q good many American expresses. on straight and level sections of track, equal or surpass these performances for con siderable portions of their regular serv. ice. Indeed. spurts at the rate of 6 or 70 miles an hour are not uncommon h this country. Still. the difference $ small, and for short distances it must be admitted that the new records in England are close to the best achievements in the United States.
 Ten years ago expresses from Lon ion to Edinburgh ana Glasgow covered 100 miles at rate slightly exceeding 50 miles an hour. In the figures sup piled by Engineering there is no indi- cation of the gains made by the east coast and west coast lines in the mean time. theush it is safe to say that there has been an appreciable improve ment. One Of the most remarkabl regular runs made on the Great West. ern, however, is for a distance of 223 miles. It is accomplished at the rate of 56 miles an hour and without a step. As the Twentieth Century Lim. lted of the New York Central from New York city to Chicago travels more than four times as far GIT miles) in I,OS0 minutes and maintains an aver age speed of 54 miles an hour, it is fair to claim the long-distance honors for America

The Philosopher.

Philosophers are numerous, but the only ones I have ever come across in all my life were those who had every thing their own way. How in the dickens can a starving man philoso- phize? How can a man who has just lost his job philosophize? Zoroaster was the most profound philosopher of his age, theoretically, but he was easily put out of temper. He once csrried his irritability so far as Ito break a marble table to pieces with a hammer because he happened to stumble over it in the dark.

the order, the rates in force hereto
fore were unreasonable, excessive
and exorbitant The railroad is
ordered to issue tariffs in accord
anCe with the order.
Based upon last years grain
shipments, this reduction will save
the farmers of eastern Washington
about $500, 900. The order was
made following ali investigation of
a complaint made several years ago
by w. r. Cunningham and others
of Ritzville. The opinion of the
commission shows that the North
ern Pacific is earning more than
81 900, 900 on its Washington bus
mess alone, in excess of a 7 per
cent dividend upon the full value
of all it's property used in the state
transportation and the net return
received by the Northern Pacific
from all its property has grown in
five years from III per cent to
1875 per cent.
