1T COST A FORTUNE.
Burning Out of Fairview Tun-
mel Causes Retrenchment
ON the Santa Fe.

The work on all the Santa Fe i'm
provements authorized this year by
President Ripley has been temporarily
postponed. An order to this effect has
been issued division superintendent by
General Superintendent Nudge.
The reason for this move is the same
as caused the reduction in time at all
of the company shops. No extraOrdi-
nary expenses are to be incurred in any
way by the company until the expense
attendant on the burning out of the
Fairview tunnel is paid for. Economy
is to be practiced in all departments IN
til this item is cleared away.
Few people outside Of the Santa Fe
officials realize the enormous additional
expense the company was under as the
result of the burning out of the Fair
view tunnel at Williams, Ariz. From
the time the tunnel first caught fire
and the company was forced to make
traffic arrangements with the Southern
Pacific company, up to the time the
tunnel was repaired, the additional ex-
entire additional expense reached about
$50, 600.
Preparations were made by the engi-
neering and bridge and building de-
partments to start the spring work at
once, but until further orders nothing
will be done in the way of improving
the track or building new bridges. Only
the Improvement work that is absolute
ly necessary will be carried out.
1t is thought that the postponement
will not be longer than a period of 80
DAYS

CONSUMPTION is DURABLE EVEN In
THE ADVANCED STAGES.

A prominent citizen of Bismarck,
North Dakota, writes as follows: Some
time ago I took a bad cold which was
followed by pneumonia, and then by
hasty consumption. 1t was so pro-
nounced by three physicians. When I
began taking the Amick Treatment I
had lost in flesh from 1856 pounds down
TO 100 pounds. Ny temperature was
very high. I had night sweats so bad
that the bed clothing had to be changed
from three to four times each night
I was confined to my bed and was mott
fed that there was no possible hope of
my recovery. One week after begin
ming the treatment the night sweats
were less and temperature lower. In
three weeks night sweats had stopped
and temperature was normal I have
regained my full health and attended
to business ever since. For a man who,
as the physicians have informed me
since, was in the last stage Of consump-
ton, my recover seems almost niracu-
lous. HARVEY HARRIS,

San Francisco, March 1O.-The Call
says: The Mexican government will at

company to pay an indemnity of ST.

time has been steadily shipping guanO

The case of Jeremiah Lee VS.. Fred
erick r. Nation and John p. Smith,
which was heard by Judge Stiness in

suit in the obtaining of the injunction

erty during his life, but that In viola
tion of this disagreement, and In an

ises, mortgaged the place TO John 4.
Smith. The proMrty was advertised for
sale under this mortgage. IL was al
legged in the bill, and 1t was TO restrain
this sale that the Injunction was
sought. At the hearing today 1t came
out that the property was really adver-
tised for sale under a mortgage for
$1lO0 that Mr.. Matteson gave Smith In
order to pay Off another mortgage on
the property. II was announced after
the hearing that the controversy would
probably be settled out of court, but II

viewing insurgent leaders. AS result
the correspondent says he discovered
evidences OF jealousy OF the American

feeling. The dispatch adds:
fAguinaldo is respectful toward Ad-
mirsl Dewey Gen. Merritt and Consul
WfT1fams. and win go any length TO re-
taink Consul General Williams good
opinion. but he holds back from giving
energetic help TO the United States
forces.
HE VIII give only negative sort OF

form which the American policy will
take. He is disturbed by telegraphic
reports that the United States will
abandon the islands TO Spain: There
are some indications of a clash between
Gen. Merritt and Aguinaldo."

REPORTS EXAGGERATED.
Only Few Cattle Have Died From
Lack Of Water and Food.

Fresno. CAL. Aug. 2.-Information re-
ceived from various cattle raisers OF
this district show that reports of thou
sands of cattle dying have been greatly
exaggerated. The cattle are thin in
many parts OF the district, but few
have died from lack of water and feed.
On the Kings and lower San Joaquin
rivers many head OF stock are dying
from swamp fever. This liz caused by
the animals drinking water from stag
nant pools. Several hundred head prob
ably have died in these sections.
On the large ranches IL looks as
though cattle will get through the sum-
mer in fair condition. The smaller
places may not do so well.
Over 10000 sheep have been driven
from the National Park during the last
few weeks. IL is difficult to ascertain
where these animals are to be pastured
until the rains come.
