Southwestern Pacific Railroad.

The promoters of the Southwestern Pacific Railroad are hard at work or the financing of the scheme and it is possible that they may pull it through.
 The road is to run through western Colorado, Utah and Arizona, and either passing into Nevada or crossing the Colorado river and coming south through Mohave county along the Colo rado river to a connection with the Ari- zona and California railroad at Yuma.
 The men at the head of affairs have asked the Interior department for 8, 900, 900 acres of land in northern Mo- have county and southern Utah, and also for a subsidy for the building of the road. Secretary Lane has asked the land offices at Salt Lake, Phoenix, and Las Vegas to send representatives into that country and report conditions there. He is also to go to Salt Lake to investigate the affairs of the company. The representations have been made that in the event that the company is given land and money subsidy that it will repay the government in the mat ter of settling up that section and also make available the billions of feet of merchantable timber. The building of the road would also open up to settle ment most desirable section of coun- try. Crops can be grown over a large area of that country without irrigation, and the balance of the lands of the country will be given over to stock raising and mining. There is no doubt of the fertility of the country and it's adaptibility to crop raising, but we cannot see why the government should build railroad and present it to some one to operate and reap the benefit from. If the general government goes into the building of railroads we would favor letting the people in on the bene- fits that may accrue.
 Utah and Wyoming representatives in congress have been urging the build ing by the government of the railroad from Marysvale, or some other point in Utah, to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and also the building of an automobile road into the same locality, for the purpose of opening up the vast tracts of timber and to make access able the Grand Canyon from the north ern side. In the event that the government built this railroad it would be the property of the government and operated for the benefit of the people.

The Golden Star.

An option on the Golden Star, for merly the Lone Star, mine, at Mineral Park, to Harry B. Arnett, of Birming- ham, Alabama, by the owners o. D. M. Gaddis and others. MT. Arnett made an examination of the property and appears to be well pleased with it..
 The Golden Star was always con- sidered one of the good things of the Mineral Park basin, and had it been in the hands of a mining man in its early days it would have had record for an immense production of silver and gold. Tons of it's ore was shipped to San Francisco and later to Swansea, Wales, for reduction. Ore had to be immensely rich to stand the great expense of ship ment from this county by way of the Colorado river and the Gulf of Calf ornia, but the Golden Star ore was so high in value that nothing was thought of the big chunk that freight took out of the final check. After the railroad was about to make its appearance a concentrating plant to clean the lower grade ores was put in at Mineral Park, but the method of treatment was not the right one and the project failed, al though the ore was of a grade that ought to have netted big results.
 It is to be hoped that not only will the Golden Star be operated, but that many others of the good things of Mineral Park basin will be taken over by people capable of financing them.

Tom Murphy and w. E. Dunlap are driving ahead on what they believe to be the vein in the old Overland, which has been sought after many years. They are on a large tale seam and find gold all along it. Recently MT. Dun lap found rich ore that he believed was right on the vein and he and MT. Mur- phy have been working there ever since. MT. Murphy was in Kingman this week and reported that everything looked good at the property. The Overland was found many years ago by David Parks, one of the old timers of the Wallapai mountains. He failed to get the vein, although he sacked ur several tons of rich float rock. Spas medically work has been carried on tc discover the vein, but without result. The original ore showed heavy native gold and horn silver.

SOCIETY NOTES.

Dame Rumor is connecting the
name of Miss Elaine Dodge, the
heiress, with that Of Perry Ben
nett, the famous young lawyer.
The announcement Of an engage
ment between them at any time
would not surprise.
Elaine read no farther. She handed
back the clipping to Kennedy AS her
eyes met his she noticed his express
sion of deep concern, and hesitated
with the reply she had evidently been
just about TO make
Still, as she lowered her head It
seemed to give silent confirmation to
the truth Of the newspaper report.
Kennedy said nothing, but his eyes
continued to study her face.
He suppressed his feelings with a
great effort then, without word
bowed and left the room.

Joined us in the drawing room. where
was chatting with Aunt Josephine,

lows still farther"
An hour or so later, Elaine, whose
mind was now in a whlrl from what
had happened, decided TO make a call
on her lawyer and the confdant Of her
father, Perry Bennett.
As Elaine entered his private Office,
Bennett rose to greet her effusively
and they exchanged a few words
Il mustn't forget to thank you for
those lovely roses you sent me" she
exclaimed at length. They we're
beautiful, and l appreciated them ever

conversation around until he found an
opportunity to make tactful allusion
