The Marrow lsauge Again.

The organization off company to build
railroad from Santa Fe to Cochiti is an
exemple which the Denver 4 Rio Grande
should initiate in this, that it should build
branch lines to all the prominent mining
camps of New Mexico. The history of
these camps has not been one of great
progress and development, and doubtless
many persons have formed the idea that
they contain but little mineral. But such
persons should consider what the condi-
ton of many of the mining camps of this
state would be if they had remained until
to-day as isolated as many of the mineral
districts of New Mexico. Much of Colo
RADIOS mineral development is result of
the completion of railroads to outlying
districts. 1t is but fair to presume that
an increased development would follow
the construction of railroads to the New
Mexico camps though it might not be as
great as it has been in number of cases
in Colorado. The Denver & Rio Grande
is the road to supply these connections.
tt can build narrow gauge lines and bring
practically all the trade of such places to
this city, thereby increasing the earnings
of its line to Espanola, which has to be
maintained.-D Republican.

PERALTA-REAVIS CASE.
Reavis Again Appears III Court With
out Consolidated to the Stand
by the GOyernment-HiS
Story.

The hearing of the Peralta Reavis land
grant case was resumed before full
BENCH IN the United States court of pri-
vate land claims, at 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
Mr.. James Addison Peralta- Reavis
principal claimant, again appeared with
out counsel. He announced that he had
contemplated the introduction of add
tional testimony by way of rebuttal, but
intimated that, as continuance had beer
denied him, he would probably be
obliged to sit as a spectator while the
government presented its side of the
case.
Mr.. PeraltaReavis was thereupor
called to the witness stand by Unitee
States Attorney Reynolds. In reply to
questions he recited that he was Born IL
1885; served in the Confederate army
under Gen. Frank NJ. Cockrell; in 1864
after leaving the army, went to Brazil
returned to St. Louis and was for some
time engaged as retail and wholesale
dry goods salesman; engaged In the rea
estate business at St. Louis.
While in the latter line of business ht
said that Mr.. George NJ. Willing called OF
him, in the 70s, he thought, with the Ari
IONA land grant propositions; Willing
showed him what purported to be th'
title papers tothe Peralta grant; afte
examining the papers aud consulting
with Col. Broadhead and other prominen
men introduced to him by Willing, hi
concluded to go to Arizona and Califor
MIA to look the matter up; Willing alst
went west on the same errand, taking al
the papers with him, but leaving witness
memoranda for his guidance; hi
never met Willing again because the lat
ter died; armed with an order from Mrs
Willing he obtained the grant papers
from man in Prescott; man namet
Masso, of Sacramento, had deed il
blank to the grant signed by Willing
this Massol made out IN the name of wit
ness for an obligation amounting tt
$65, 900; being informed by his counse
that this deed was worthless and tina
Masso had power of attorney from
Willing, he afterwards secured from Mas
sol deed to the grant under that powe
of attorney, and also deed from tn
widow of Willing.
The witness identified several of tn
papers presented to him and volubly de
scribed how he obtained access to ant
photographs of various original docu
ments and records.
This briefly covers his testimony up t.
the noon adjournment.
