ARIZONA RAIL WAY PROJECT.
Santa Fe Officials Planning for a Line 10
the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado.

PHOENIX, ARIz., July 4-One of the
most important railroad projects of the
year is nov under consideration in
Northern Arizona, and officials of the
Santa Fe system are on the ground max
ing personal investigation. The scheme e
is for the construction of railroad to the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado. The start
ing point is to be Williams, on the Santa
Fe Pacific. The route considered Is di-
rectly north to the canyon at o. ONeilPs
Point, distance of sixty-three miles,
thence branching east and west. The
eastern branch would skirt the canyon TO
the welI-known Hance trail twenty-five
miles; the western branch would take the
traveller to the rim above Cataract Creek
Canyon the Yosemite of the Southwest.
No engineering difficulties are in the way,
as the route is wholly over level, pine
covered plateau.
The tourist travel into the Grand Can
yon region has grown so that the pro-
moters of the line be rlieve it would pay
on the passenger traffic alone, aid ed as it
would be by the provisions of a specific
tax exem ption act passeh by the last
Legislature. Yet the main business fea-
ture attending the construction lies in
the fact that the line will for fifteen
miles traverse one of the richest copper
bearing sections of Arizona, a district
newly discovered, where millions of tons
of ore have been exposed, but cannot be
worked because OF lack OF transportation.

ADAMS DICGINGS REDIcc0YERED,
Prospectors Stumble Upon Famous
Lost Mine, but Are Driven Away
BY Indians

PHOENIX, ARIz July 4.-Word comes
from the northern part of the Territory
that the famous and long-sought-for
Adams diggings have been found. Two
prospectors brought the news into Pres
colt and claimed to be the heroes of quite
an exciting tale. The mine of ia bled rich
ness is said to be located on the Colorado
and New Mexico border, and these two
prospectors, while travelling southwark,
camped one night on the edge of the Nav
ajo Reservation. In the morning they
found the partially burned remains of a
cabin and stray bits of utensils and para
phernalia usually carried by wandering
searchers for gold. The ruins were stu
ated on level piece of ground near the
mouth of very deep canyon, and in
north westerly direction from a saddle
shaped mountain. The character of the
rock in the vicinity led them to begin
pro pecting for gold, and the result con-
vinced them that they were at or near a
marvelousy rich ledge. Within the space
of four hours they had washed out in a
pan over four ounces of gold. some of the
nuggets being as large as grains of corn.
he prospectors were preparing to begin
operations on larger scale when they
were visited by four Navajo Indians, WHO
quietly but firmly warned them not to
proceed further with their labors, but to
leave the spot at once. The Indians then
accompanied the prospeetors TO the limits
of the reservation and babe them never
return, intimating that men had lost
their lives in the past, because they disre-
garded this Injunction. The prospectors
came at once to the old Warm Springs
reservation, where they exhibited their
gold as proof OF the story they related A
considerable party of prospectors is now
being made up to push It's way into the
inhospitablo country. but the Indians will
have the law on their side if the mine is
found to be within the limits of the
reservation.

TACOMA mar A RANiAc.
Prove an Innocent Person
InscHe.

TACOMA, WASH, July About three
months ago o. s. Robinson, an account
ant. was arrested. charged with shooting
with intent to kill one George NJ. Bearce.
c. A. Bsrnes, an ex-railroad man and
recently county courthouse employe,
was boarding at Robinson's house at the
time, and at first took great interest in
trying to secure Robinson's release on
bail. Suddenly he turned around and,
assisted by Mrs. Robinson, endeavored
to have Robinson sent to the insane
asylum. Robinson demanded a jury
trial and was acquitted, the Sheriff and
others declaring that he showed no trace
of insanity. Barnes went so far as 10 try
to engage certain physicians to testify
against Robinson. after they had told
him they were satisfied Robinson was
insane.
This all came out at Robinson's trial
for shooting Bearce, which took place
last week, and which resulted in an ac-
quittal. Barnes WAS witness against
Robinson and frankly admitted his
enmity, declaring that he wished him
sent to the penitentiary. 1t was rumored
that the cause of their falling out was
Robinson's jealousy of Barnes attentions
to Mrs. Robinson. Notwith standing his
admitted hatred OF Robinson, Barnes and
Mrs. Robinson have since been on friendly
terms.
Yesterday Barnes was arrested while
standing in front of streetcar obstruct-
ing its passage. He was acting strangely
and before night grew rapidly worse.
To-day he is raving maniac, refusing
to wear his Clothes and attempting SELF
destruction. Mrs. Ro obipson endeavored
TO see him, but was refused ad1nittance.
He was sent to the asylum tonight, the
same asylum into which be had endeav-
ored to put Robinson. He has mother
and brother living at Newton, Mass.
