BURNING SANTA FE TUNNEL
Causes a Coal Famine in New Mexico
and Arizona.

San Diego, Feb. 3-As a result of the
burning of the tunnel on the Santa Fe
railroad, it has become necessary for
San Diego to supply a large portion Of
New Mexico and Arizona with coal.
Orders have been received here the past
two days for several train loads of coal
to be sent out along the line of the San
ia Fe Pacific, as the entire supply from
eastern mines has been shut off.
If traffic is not soon resumed over
that portion of the Santa Fe it will be
necessary for the coal company here to
charter extra vessels to load with coal
for this port.

LAS VEGAS HOSPITAL.
Chief Surgeon Raster Is Making a
Model Home for the Sick.

Chief Cook J. B. Long of the Santa
Fe hospital at Las Vegas says that
when the hospital improvements are
completed it will be the finest hospital
of it's size in the country. New floors
and plastering and many improvements
in the equipment will make it the same
as new. The credit of the whole change
belongs to DR.. J. P. Raster" said Mr..
Long, he has given the work his per-
sonal attention and has been there a
great part of the time. We shall be
sorry when the work is completed and
his visits become less frequent"
