Eleven Killed at Savannah and Four
More at Brunswick.
Savannah, Ca, Oct. 1.-The fatalities
by TUESDAYS storm. so far foot up IL.
The fatalities on the sea islands were
numerous. The actua loss of life is not
known, but it is feared it will reach
400. Twenty negroes were killed on
the rice plantations by falling timbers.
The names could not be secured The
sea island cotton crop is badly dam
aged, the cotton being beaten down and
off the stalk. A house to house canvass
places the total of destruction to prop
erty here at $267,00 This is regarded
as low estimate, the general belief ot
those who have figured on it being that
100000 is a conservative estimate.
Loss Over @I,0OO.oOo.
The damage in the city will probably
exceed $1,000,000. Hardly building
escaped, and thousands of houses are
roofess. The work of clearing away the
wreckage from the streets went on at
night and most of the streets are now
passable. The parks are sights Tall
trees, torn up by their roots or broken
in two, lie in swatbs across shrubbery
and flowers. The ruin is complete. The
famous Bonaventure cemetery, four
miles from Savannah on the Thunder
bolt road. is scene of ruin. There, and
in picturesque Laurel Grove cemetery,
monuments and grave stones are over
turned, and in some instances, the
vaults are broken in. At the suburban
villages and resorts summer residences
were blown away and yachts and pleas
ure steamers were driven ashore, in
some instances, high and dry on the low
bluffs. The historic Bethesda orphan
home, founded by George Whitefeld
century and half ago, seven miles in
the country from Savannah, was heavi-
ly damaged. but no loss of life occurred.
Four Dead at Brunswick.
Brunswick was wrecked by the hur-
ricane. The property loss is estimated
at between $350,000 and $50o.Oo0. The
loss of life is four, so far as known.
The victims are all colored

Ell PASO RIGHT In 1T.
Chihuahua's Governor and the Cor.
ralit0s ROad-The Missouri Pacific
Supposed to BE Interested.

Ell Paso, Oct. Sci Paso and Juarez
we're in gala attire yesterday. In the
forenoon Gov. Ahumada, accompanied by
his staff and a military band, arrived
from chihuahua to oficiate at the spik-
ing of the first rail on the Corralitos
road. Gov. Ahumada and party are the
guests of the Sierra Madra Construction
company, who gave dinner in honor of
the occasion at the Mexican Central de.
pot at p. m. Tho officials from both
sides of the river participated in the ex-
ercises of the occasion.
The new railroad promises to prove
one of great value to the southwest. The
construction under immediate contem
plation will reach point $50 miles west
of Juarez. The right-of-way and conces
sions granted this company by the Mex
loan government, of $4,000 per mile, ex-
tend on to the coast on the gulf of lower
California. Corralitos and vicinity is
known as remarkably rich mining
country, whose ores are expected to find
their way to Ell Paso. The road likewise
goes into a cattle country. Ell Paso nat
urally expects to derive advantage from
this road. The people behind the enter
prise are such men as John T. Terry,
Solon Humphrey, Henry X. Sheldon,
Newton Smith and E. D. Morgan 4 Co.,
of New York. Their general manager
states that the money is on deposit in
sufficient amount to build the first $50
miles of the road. The $4,000 per mile
from the Mexican government will be in
the form of bonds. It is surmised that
the Missouri Pacific has something to do
with the new enterprise.

Correspondence New Mexican.
San Pedro, Oct. 5.-Considerable work
is being done on the mines about this
place and Golden, which, taken altgether,
presents great encouragement for the fu'
ture, as many properties to-day are look
ing better than ever before in the history
of the camp.
OF course the lack of capital is greatly
felt, and, in fact, is the only drawback, as
the camp with its natural facilities is be-
yond any question one of the best in the
southwest, with the advantage that every
thing carries fair value in gold, even
the lead carbonate deposits and the big
copper properties.
The G. g. G. mine, located in town, late
ly incorporated with M. Mandell, of AL
buquerque, as president, is having big
working shaft sunk. The work is being
done in frst-class manner and timbered
as the work progresses.
A large body of fair grade ore is known
to exist at depth of 1875 feet by the old
working, which this shaft will cut on its
way down.
The company is prepared to sink the
shaft 400 feet, the company, which Is
wholly composed of territorial men, de.
serves credit for its enterprise. To the
experienced mans view the property has
the appearance Of good one, and will
handsomely repay for the outlay.
Did more men of capital and moderate
means throughout the territory take a
lesson from the @. Il Q. company our
condition would be better than it is, and,
while the @. Il @. mine is good one, it

way. At the zenith of his popularity the
author has succumbed to heart trouble
