 Mr. Garland's sdvices of March 8 and f, from Washington, were to the effect that the reservation right-of- way proceedings had been approved by the Interior department and that the In- dian commissioner had telegraphed Lieut. Sedgwick Rice, acting agent at San Carlos, authority to permit work to commence. Mr. Garland stated further that the Midland Coustruction company, of which he is the head, has its grading outfit assembled at Geron- imo, ready for business, and if Lieut.. Rice is authorized to permit the work to proceed, dirt will begin to fly within three or four days. Mir. Garland pro- poses to work his outfit st the Geron- imo end for probably 80 days, when they will give way entirely to the con- tractor whose bid is accepted, and the Midland Construction company's outfit will then be transferred to this end O! the line and begin work at the summit, two mics and half southeast of Globe, and construc. the roadbed l toward and through town to its north ! ern terminus. The cut which will have to be made through the summit, about l2O0 feet in length aud 3l feet at its greatest depth, will be the heaviest work to be performed over the entire distance from Geronimo.
 Mr. Garland went to San Carlos on Tuesday, leaving the engineer, here to finish up their work. Mr Garland will arrange for the pa, inent to the Indians of the indemnity agreed l upon. The Indians will be paid Ss. 900 in their tribal capacity, and something less than S2, GOO to individuals for farm. ing lands crossed by the railroad. This is at the rate of $40 per acre.
 TO REACH IRE CHA RIVER JUNE l.
 As regards the progress oi the work, it can be estimated with moderate ac- curacy. It Is expected to have the track laid from Geronimo tp the Gala river crossing above San Carlos l,y the latter part of May or first of June There pfogress will be interrupted, perhaps 30 days, awaiting the construc ton of the bridges across the Gila aud San Carlos rivers The railroad will cross about one-half mile above the forks of the rivers. The bridges will be built upon piles, aud while substan- tial, will not be very expensive. The bridges will he about 200O feet apart; that across the Glla will be upwards of 900 feet long, and tho bridge across the Sau Carlos very much shorter The depot for San Carlos will be from three quarters to a mile from the agency -a little east of north. After crossing the rivers the line runs up the San Carlos river to the mouth of Aliso creek (Gilson's wash) and mp that wash, past Gilson's wells to the summit.
