President RipIey's Trim.

Topeka, Kas. Feb. 1.-THE general re-
duction in the force of all departments OF
the Santa Fe system commenced by Pres.
ident Ripley in Chicago, and continued
on his trip to the west, has caused con-
sternation here. The Presidents ak has
fallen on the neck of scores of employees
in the general Office building and in the
shops at Topeka, while every day reports
of cutting down and dismissals come from
points west along the entire line. 1t is
announced here that President Ripley g
trip to the west is made for the purpose
of gaining information as to where he can
lop off expenses, and that he is deter.
mined to reduce the operating expenses
to a minimum.
1t is probably true that President t
Ripley, after abolishing all positions
which appear to be more ornamental
than necessary, will follow the rule of his
predecessors and order a general reduc-
tion of 10 per cent on all salaries

myself at Juarez Sunday for the purpose
of stopping this business. There is a
piece of debatable territory near Juarez
that is defacto under control OF the Unit

Mexican soil, under our jurisdiction, the
fight shall not take place, nor is there
money enough in the United States to in

EXTENSIVE PLACER FIND.
Another Rich Gold Discovery In
South santa Fe County Near
Golden.

Correspondence New Mexican.
Golden, N. NJ, Feb. 5.--Pablo Amanda
has made another big find of placer gold
about four miles east of Golden. II has
been kept quiet for some time but has at
last leaked out. The gold is coarse and
is found from the surface to bed rock
anywhere within an area of onehalf mile
square. The only method of extraction
used as yet has been the small dry washer.
The dirt being frozen and wet it is con-
sequently hard 10 handle. It has to be
thawed out and dried before milled, thus
necessitating considerable extra labor.
But with all that it pays well. Several
parties have taken out from S9 to $40
per day and quite a number from Is
pennyweights to IS pennyweights in six
days, one boy of Is taking out 5 penny
weights in three successive days. The
beauty of it is the gold is generally and
evenly distributed, all the gravel being
pay dirt. As usual all the best ground
has been taken up. This is one of the
best finds in placers that has been made
here for years for the reason there is no
narrow pay streaks, the whole area being

I An improved Kinetoscope

NEW YORK, April A new inven-
tion by Thimas A. Edison was shown to
a few favored persons at West Orange
laboratory tonight. The new machine
is really a grown-up kaleidoscope, and
is success. Edison calls his latest in
vention the 'vitascope," which, he
says, means a. machine showing life,
and that is exactly what the new ap-
paratus does. The vitascope is an i'm
provement on the kaleidoscope, by
which moving life-size figures of men,
women and animals are thrown upon a
screen by means of bright lights and
powerful lenses.
The first picture shown tonight was a
colored panorama of a serpentine dance
by Annabelle. The film roll on which
the photographs were attached were ar
ranged over a half-dozen spools and
pulleys, and the machine was set in
motion. Even the inventor himself
was surprised at the result. Annabelle
danced for five minutes and then a
panorama of the English derby was
thrown upon the screen.
The feature of the new machine which
astonishad all who saw tonight's
views was almost the entire absence
of vibration in the pictures as they ap-
peared on the screen and which had
been the hardest obstacle to surmount
in perfecting the apparatus. The or
iginal photographs are about the size
of a special delivery postage stamp,
and to produce a life-siZe picture they
are ma gnified about six hundred times.

INDIAN LANDS
Shoshones Have No Use for Springs Of Hot
Water

WASHINGTON, April Am effort
is being made by Mandell of Wyoming
to have the Big Horn not springs
on the Shoshone Indian reservation, in
Fremont county, Wyo., purchased by
the government and held as a public
reservation, as the hot springs Of Ar
kansas are. Indian Inspector Nc
Laughlin has been sent by the Interior
Department to negotiate with the In
dians for cession of the springs and a
tract ten miles square surrounding
them. 1t is not proposed to pay all
the purchase money by one appropria-
tion but to pay most of it to the credit
of the Indians to be paid from the
treasury in installments.
The iBg Horn springs are said to
possess remarkable medicinal properties
and are scientifically called sulphur
saline springs. They are near the Big
Horn river with snow capped noun
tains on either side and empty into
the river in picturesque cascades. 1t
is the governments policy. Mr.. Mandell
says, to gradually reduce the Indian
reservations as the land is not needed
by the Indians and it Is believed that
the springs can be acquired now more
cheaply than when they have become
better knowv He is confident that
the springs aid become a resort and
be a source l,f revenue to the govern
ment froDV' rentals if they were man.
aged as Arkansas hot springs are.
