PLAZA IMPROVEMENT
An Outline of the Plans to Be Fol-
lowed by the Woman's Board
.. of Trade.

To tho Editor of the New Mexican.
Santa Fe, Sept. 29.-Tho kindly en-
couragement given the Woman's Board
of Trade by your paper emboldens US to
place our plans and hopes for the plaza
improvement fully before the New Mex
1cAN's readers, and also to express our
thanks to the public for its generous
silence in regard to the Inconvenience oc-
casioned by tho grading and filling now
going on.
The board has met with such success in
collecting funds that it hopes to carry
out its original plan of cementing the
walks at once, and to begin on the coping
of the plaza if the same assistance is
rendered in the future as has been give
up to the present writing.
Some few criticisms and inquiries hay
ing been made as to the reduction on the
north side of the size of the plaza, we
would state:
On examining the ground for the
foundation of the coping we are inform
ed that owing to the enormous roots
of the cottonwood trees We shall be
obliged to select another line for our
fence. The street, OH investigation, will
be found to jog out about ten feet on the
north side of the plaza. AS our improve
ments are intended to be of lasting
character, and as we desire to preserve
regular and systematical square We have
reduced it somewhat at the north side rs
stated. In time, as the younger trees
grow, the old cottonwoods, ETC., on the
north side will be taken away, and
broad beautiful thoroughfare from upper
to lower Palace avenue will be the result.
1t is not intended that the pagoda shall
be moved.
The board has been promised a foun-
tain of handsome style to be placed in the
plaza. In consequence the old one will
be removed to make way for the new, and
| water connections have been made there
| for. Mr.. Mckenzie, who received the
contract for laying and furnishing the
water pipes, has sent for improved
sprinklers, which will be here with hose
and fittings in time for the grass seed
and tho work of sowing the same.
The flower bed about the monument,
will, of course, lie falow until spring,
when the ladies expect to fill it with
pansies, mignonette, etc.
The city council has treated tho board
most generously. Since the time they
turned over the plaza to US not one word
of criticism has been raised. Through
tho long wall, when drouth, disappoint-
nent and money stringency combined to
delay and almost defeat us, they have
stood by us most loyalty, and heartily
does the board appreciate it.
Our thanks arc many for the help of
the New MEXICAN. W. Is. L.

THE RAILROADS..
A Ten Mile Transfer i'll Progress on
tile A., T. & S. F.-Daily Trains
to Be Resumed Over the
Narrow Gauge.

Some idea ofthe extent of Wednesdays
washouts on the A., T. & S. f. road be-
tween Cerrillos and Albuquerque may be
had from the fact that about fifty car
loads of material, piling, bridge-tim bers,
etc, will be required to repair the breaks
An army of men is at work, and while the
running of through trains is not hoped for
before Monday night, the transfer of pas
sengers and mail and perishable express
matter is in progress this afternoon.
This morning it was resolved to at
tempt the work of transferring, aud ac-
cordingly kilograms were sent to Lamy,
Cerrillos, Waldo, Bernalllo and other
villages requesting agents to secure all
the teams possible and sent them out to
the various breaks in the road. Probably
as many as as fifty teams are engaged in
this work at this writing. The task is a
difficult one because of the great number
of washouts and theology condition of
the roads. Train men say the teams will
have to travel ten or twelve miles to make
the transfer from the south end OF the
break to the waiting train near Cerrilos.
1t is expected that four days mail from
south and west will reach here about 4:50
this afternoon, and one transfer each way
will also be made tomorrow.
THE MARROW GAUGE.
On tho Santa Fe Southern line force
of 100 men succeeded in getting the wash
outs repaired last night, SO that train
from the north got through this morning
arriving at 5 o'clock, and the regular
train went out on time at 8 a. m.
Supt. Helm last night received tcle-
gram from Gen. Supt. Sample bringing
the good news that the D. q II. G. com
pany had decided to resume the running
of daily trains over its line from Antonito
TO Santa Fe, and requesting Mr.. Helm to
come to Denver and aid in arranging the
details. He leaves tomorrow on this
mission, and about The middle of next
week the through daily service over the

ton.

New Enterprises.

Joseph Mulhatton has been instrument
tai in introducing no less than $4,000 of
capital in New Mexico. He has great
faith in the territory and particularly in
the outcome of the Chama river placers.
While for Santa Fe he considers the pros
poets for building here beautiful and
prosperous modern city are most prom
Using. For somo weeks Mr.. Mulhatton
and Mr.. Pyc, of Louisville, KY, have
been looking over the situation with a
view to interesting Kentucky capital in
the establishment of wooden mill and q
fruit canning factory. They are to be
joined shortly by several Louisville capt.
talists. The encouragementthey receive,
however, is not what it should be. In
fact, they have been discouraged by men
in business hero who, it appears, would
rather talk against than for the town.

PLACER WASHING.
A New Process Oh the Uppcr Rio
Grandc-Saving Flour Gold
by the Use of Burlap
Cloth Screens.

Messrs. Pruden & Parke, of Del Norte.
Colo, are at work In the Rio Grande
gravel bars, three miles above Rincona-
da, and arc doing well iii extracting gold
thcrefrom by the use of machine known
as the Burlap process. 1t takes its name
from the fact that common burlap cloth
is utilized largely for saving the fine flour
gold which can not be saved by any other
process and which has hitherto prevented
the working of the upper Rio Grande
placer beds at profit.
This machine has been used with great
success on the Snake river gravel bars in
Idaho, and its introduction into New
Mexico is worthy of more than passing
note, particularly since in Taos and Rio
Arriba counties where there is an abund-
ance of water, the chief element of wealth
in thousands of acres of sand and gravel
is this class of gold, so light that it floats
on the water and is lost in any ordinary
sulcing process.
The machine consists of a system of
coarse screens beneath which are finer
ones, and the gravel is "jiggered" through
these, driving off the coarse material and
permitting the fine stuff to fall below,
finally landing upon q canvass and thence
going through burlap screen, the coarse
and loose meshes of the burlap cloth
catching the flour as we'll as the coarser
particles Of gold.
BY this process these placer beds are
made to yield net profit of $3.50 day
per man. These interesting details are
learned from Hon. Thos. McQuiston, who
came in from Rinconada last night.

THE WALSH MURDERERS
Supposed to De in Hiding in Colfax
C0unty-C0lorad0 and the East
Excrcised-NO Official IN
formation Here.

The murder of W. s. Walsh, near the
town of Aguillar, Las Anlmas county,
Colo, is till greatly agitating the Colorado
people. The murderers are said to have
been two men named Vigil and Archuleta,
and the Denver Sun charges that:
"The two men had come that morning
from New Mexico and had sworn to kill
the first American they met. AS Walsh
was the first man they came across they
shot and killed him instantly"
After the murder Vigil and Archuleta
crossed the Colorado line back into New
Mexico and are now said to be in hiding
in the upper Vermejo valley, on the
Maxwell land grant, where they have
relatives. Manager NJ. p. Polls, of the
grant company, recently visited the YER
mejo region and was informed by friends
surrendered whenever Sheriff McQuistion
came after them and guaranteed them
protection from the mob that had been
organized at Trinidad to capture them
dead or alive, but they decline to sur
render to any body of armed men or
ganized in Colorado.
Gov. Waite, OF Colorado, is in receipt
of pathetic letter from DR.. W. W. John
son, of Washington city, asking that
large reward be offered for the capture
of Welsh's murderers. DR.. johnson, in
postscript to the letter, offers reward
of $500 for the arrest and convictions of
the murderers. The letter was answered
Immediately and to the effect that it is
not customary in that state to grant re-
wards, and even if such were the case the
governors contingent fund is not largo
enough to admit of a reward being Of
fered.
DR.. johnson also wrote substantially
tho same thing to Attorney General Eng
ley, who advised that the reward be Of
Tered. Senator Ed Wolcott writes that
