Items of Interest from Geronimo and
 the Contraction Camps,

GrRoSIMo, ARIz., April 26. Rail road construction is progressing at the usual rnte. not so rapidly as the good people of Globe would like to have it move, doubtlcse, but under the circun |. stances it Is all thnt could be r-asouabiy expected. The construction crews are composed chiefly of MexlcnDs and Indians, with few whites. It is diff cult to get white men te work, the wages being only SLIGO per day, and board S5 per week with some minor charges, which reduce mans net earn ings. As the season advances and the weather grows warmer, contend 't wi ] be still harder to maintain an efficient force on the grade. Mr Garaud and the contractors are doing the beat they can, however. About 70 men are E-w at work, not counting Iud,aus cutting brush.
 The first dirt was turned March 15, and yesterday (April 25) ahont fifteen or sixteen miles of grading had been done. ] he Midland Construction com pnuy has completed all but about two miles of the twelve miles uf grading, which it uudeito to do from Geronimo west Ward X Courtney have about five o- six miles of grade made east and west of the sub agency. Sub Con tractor Slinker received l2 moro teams on Monday, making about 20 teams now in use hy him. Mir. Sliuker's family arrived ,ester,',y from Texas.
 Last week tso train loads of rails arrived here and several ears of piliDg were received. The pile driver has been here ten days. and the work of driving piles along the grade where needed will begin about May l. Another flat.car dining housr has been constructed for the accommodation of the track laying force. Track laying wIll not begin until the pile driver gets we'll to work. The grade will probably not be completed to the Gila river before June l. The distance from Geronimo to the river is upwards of 2S miles. On this section of the road there will be considerable piling needed, two tressels estimated at ,50 to 200 feet iu length.
 President Wm. Garland arrived last Saturday and is still here.

that the government win purchase 1t
rather than allow 1t 70 fall into the hands
% the enemy. The state department has
received a draft for a large amount
drawn by a colored man at Jamaica, who
had stocked up coal and without con-
tract or negotiation drew on the Depart
ment for the full stock at s12 per ton.
AS this grade of coal is selling at less
than 81 at points where the navy can Sc
cure it in this country. the draft was con-
sidered out of reason, even had any ar
engagements been made for purchasing.
The naval officers, when inquiry was
made of them, said they knew nothing
of the stock of coal. The draft is not
likely to be hono:ed and this particular
stock OF Jamaica coal will be left on the
owners hands.
