confirmed the story in part by his visit TO
San Francisco and other points in Cali

closer to President Marvel than any other
of the officers connected with that road,
has been here for several weeks past, dur
ing which time he has been at the Land
Department good deal, and upon inquiry
the correspondent was told that he had
spent considerable time in looking up plats
Of The California land surveys. The same
Santa Fe man was in THE CALLS Wash

ing, ''lf you were going to build road

would you want TO touch?'
Upon being pressed for an answer to the
question Does the Santa Fe intend TO build
its own road into San Franeisco?" this
