ReSlgnaIlON.
The New MEXICAN is gratifed to note the
frequency with which the officials of the D.
g. R. G. railway system are dropping into
New Mexico here of late. Another party
of these always welcome guests rolled in
from the north last evening occupying
handsomely equipped special train, and
this time their visit is longer than usual,
for they have come to stay two nights
and day. The party consists of Mr.. N.
W. Sample, the efficient general superin-
tendent; Mr.. H. Sclach, superintendent of
machinery and motive power; Mr.. H. F.
May, the company's general attorney; Mr..
W. H. Rogers, chief engineer, and Mr.. Cole
Lydon, the we'll known superintendent of
the southern Colorado and New Mexico
division of the "little giant of the
Rockies" Lieut.. johnson, U. s. A., Fort
Logan, is also guest of the party.
The visitors were taken in hand bright
and early this morning by Supt. Helm, of
the Santa Fe Southern road, and, after
visiting the principal points of interest
about the city, they met at Col. Frost's
rooms at IL O'Clock whence carriages
conveyed them for drive up the canon,
where they spent an hour examining the
first of Santa Fe's great system of water
storage reservoirs. The splendor of the
day and the congenlality of the party
made this trip most agreeable for all
concerned. The visitors we're surprised
and pleased at what they saw of the great
work at the mouth of the canon and
freely spoke of the effect this storage
system must in short time have upon
all the business interests of Santa Fe city
and the beautiful adjacent valley.
This afternoon and evening the comfort
and entertainment of the gentlemen are
being Hospitality looked after by leading
citizens.
As to the object of their visit, if there
is any beyond a mere inspection tour, the
gentlemen are reticent; but there are
ahoat many rumors of prospective
changes in narrow gauge affairs early
next year, which carry with them features
of more or less benefit to Santa Fe and
all northern New Mexico. The party
leave for Denver tomorrow forenoon.

A., T. & g. r. RESERVATIONS.
According to advices received from
Topeka there is good deal more back
of the reported designations of Hon. H.
L. Waldo, as solicitor in New Mexico for
the A., 7. & s. F., and of Major W. H. H.
Llewellyn, as live stock agent, than was
originally supposed. Confident that
Judge Waldo has resigned, both Judge
Sterry and w. B. Childers, of Albuquer-
que, are now at company's headquarters
seeking to be his successor. Judge Wal
dos Santa Fe friends know that he has
long contemplated resigning, but they
yet refuse to believe that he has done So
having heard nothing directly from him
on the subject.
AS to Major LIewellyn's resignation, il
is said at Albuquerque that it has been
accepted and that Geo. L. Brooks, of that
city, has been appointed to succeed him
