new camp, La Belle now enjoys railway
facilities quite unusual.
In the matter of scenery, it is probable
that the Denver, Leadville & Gunnison
Railway, more generally known as the
South Park Line, has more to offer
than any other route in the west.
Leaving Denver this line follows the
Platte valley for distance of twenty
miles through suburban villages, cotton
wood groves and irrigated farms. Before
entering the great canon of the Platte
the traveller is treated to a picturesque
mountain gorge, with it's walls OF granite
rising to the height of hundreds Of feet,
and pleasantly diversified by many
freaks of nature when in her widest
moods. The train rolls on through the
picturesque canon, and after an hours
ride, stops at Bailey's. Then on to Grant,
where the climb of the great Kenosha
hill il begun and the summit reached,
then few miles on to Como, where we
change engines and get a good dinner
before resuming our journey for South
Park, one Of the great natural amphi-
theatres of the Rocky mountains, and
we'll worth journey Of thousand
miles to see.
The most southern portion is known as
the San Luis Valley, the next South Park,
the next Middle Park. then North Park
and the last the Laramie plains.

The Maxwell Land Grant Company an
Empire in Itself

A history of the Maxwell Land Grant
is history of the industrial develop
ment of northern New Mexico. This
immense tract covers an area of LIZA 64
acres, lying principally in New Mexico
and partly in Colorado, and comprising
within it's extensive boundary line. min
eral. timber, grazing and as good agri-
cultural land as is to be found anywhere
in the territory, or indeed in any part Of
the west.
The grant is particularly rich in min
eral land, some of which has been yield
ing its stores of treasure for many years
past, but the greater portion of which
still remains virgin field, waiting only
for the magic touch of capital to develop
it into one of the richest mining sections
of the country. The history Of this i'm
mense tract, an empire in itself, reads
more like chapter from some wild,
western romance, than anything else,
and the litigation that has ensued as the
result of conflicting claims would only
add to the unusual and out-of thee
mon character which has marked every
stage of this, the largest land project of
which America has heard since the
Colonial grants of New England, ante

THE GULF ROAD,
Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf Railway
Company and the South Park
Line,

1t would require a great deal more
space than we have to devote to the
subject tn pnumerate all the points of
interest touched by this great system,
with lines reaching out from Denver to
all parts of Colorado, and covering like
a spiders web sec ion of the grea
west.
This system, however, with it's net
work of affiliated lines, is boon to the
farmer, prospector and miner, as we'll as
the tourist.
For the agriculturist and miner this
road has opened up possibilities un.
dreamed of a few years ago, and made
development possible in sections that
until recently have remained practically
inaccessible, because of their lack Of
transportation facilities.
The opening up of the La Belle dis
trict, that is attracting so much atten-
ton at present, by reason of the rich
mineral discoveries made there during
the past few months, verities this asser-
ton. Via Trinidad, the gateway, the
Gulf road runs it's trains to Vasques, the
center of the district, from which point
stage connection is made for all parts of
the La Belle country Several extern
sions of the Gulf system are projected in
this district to keep pace with the rapid
development now under way, but, for a

Got in Jail.
Valdosta, Ca, July 6-There was some
thing Of a negro excursion from Lake
City 70 Valdosta this morning. and in
consequence there were many strange
negroes upon the streets Among the ne
groes who came from Florida was one
who had on a splendid looking military
coat with silvery letters worked in the
collar, showing that II was a 18th Ga"
garment. Col. Varnedoe and Adjt r. A.
Peoples got after the negro and he stated
that he bought II from a Mr.. McRainey
at Smithville. Fla. The negro was put in
the city prison TO await further investi-
cation of the case. The military men Of
this city have looked up the law on the
subjeQA and steps may be taken against
the man who sold the negro the coat.
This is the first case of the Kind that ever
came before the military officers here.
and they are not fully decided yet what
they will do in the matter.
Yesterday was one of the great days in
the history of the Primitive Baptist of
this section OF the state. The annual
meeting was held in the big church build
ing at Cat Creek, and IL is said that 5000
people were In attendance. Services were
held from early morning until dewy eve,
and sermons were preached by Elders
Porter and Strickland. The ordinance OF
foot-washing was administered and the
greater part Of the Primitives present
city were present; in fact, the whole
southern section of the state was repre-
scented in the vast throng which crowded
the building and grounds during the day.
The city fathers have been having con-
siderable work done on the streets here
preparatory to the midsummer carnival.
Gordon street, which is to be used for the
horse races, has been made into a regular
boulevard, and the flyers who enter the
contests will find it easy to make record
breaking time over the track. All of the
homes are getting in fine shape and the
citizens are making the city as handsome

widespread and the outlook is that there
will be thousands of people here The fact
that Gov. Atkinson and his stan will be
here to review the troops the probability
of Gen. Gordon being here to mngle with
the old veterans, together with the splen-
did base ball and bicycle attractions, has
excited the widest interest. The parade of

Atlanta, Ga, July 6.-J S. Craig of

Gov. Atkinson a rather indefinite letter,
the purpose of which is to procure the lib

he is prepared to prove that Bill Gany
confessed that he had killed a man in
Georgia for which murder another was
convicted and sentenced The letter is
not in shape for the governor to act
upon, neither the name of the convict
nor the victim being given, and the execu-
tive is seeking the aid of the press in the
hope of gaining further light The writer
