The Texas and Pacific passenger wa
five hours late last night.
Engine No. 1913, of the Texas an6
Pacific, is in the shops for repairs.
The Texas & Pacific sent out yestsr-
day a carload of beef cattle from E
Paso to ST. Louis.
81. S. Newman is sending out over
the G. 81. Is cars of beef cattle to cen
trail western markets.
r. T. Lyle. of th G. 81. dispatchers
is. busy assisting Roadmaster Kelley
with the monthly reports.
D. A. S:arkweather. travelling pas
headquarters in Roswell, is again in
town aftsr business.
w. B. Worden, travelling passenger
agent of the st. Louis & San Francisco,
was in the city hustliDg for business
yesterday. He went west today.
Engine No. 9O7 went of the track In
the G. b. yards this morning. A mis-
placed switch was the cause. No Sc
rious damage was done and she was
righted again without trouble.
The Port Allen branch of the Louis
lana division of the Texas and Pacific
railway has been eXtsnded for q dis
lance of seventeen miles into the heart
of the sugar country of that state.
Travelling Passenger Agent w. A.
Rhinehart of tho Southern Pacific has
returned to headquarters. He Joined
the Tennessee,reRiment on the Pacific
division at Ell Paso and accompanied
1t. to New Orleans.
The gross earnings of sixty-two
roads for the second week in November
were $40, O26, $50, against Sc, 922, 431 for
the second week in November, 1898, an
increase OF 81, 1O4, 258. Fifty-four roads
show increases aud seven decreases,
and ons no ch lnge.
It is expected that 81. U. Nudge, the
new Santa Fe general manager, will
pay FL Paso q visit shortly in company
with Vice-President Barr. He was
here few days ago on a trip of inspec-
ton, but his stay of less than an hour
was go brief as to warrant another
visit.
G. J. Hartman, of the Mexican Cen
trail, whose resignation is reported,
was many years in the employ of the
San'a Fe and therefore his reported
return to that road seems likely. He
was division superintendent of the
Southern Kansas division with head
quarters at Wichita, Kan, and after
wards was stationed at Pueblo, Colo.
Local Santa Fee men, however, do not
think he will return to the road.

rLUCKY MAIL CARRIER,

There are several interesting Illus
trations Of the advanced new woman
in Arizona, including women ranch
ers, vaqueros, bank cashiers, stable
keepers and butchers, but the one
whose occupation most thoroughly in
terests newcomers to the territory is
Miss Sarah M. Burks, a jolly, sturdy,
brave little woman about 25 years old,
who carries the United States mail
over the Star route from st. Johns to
Jimtown twice a week. The distance
from st. Johns to the end of the route
Is 81 miles, and it requires a good deal
of stoutheartedness and liberal sup
ply Of self-confidence and a dash of
love of adventure for any one to make
the trip. Miss Burks' mail route
leads through as wild and desolate a
region as one can well imagine. Rocky,
barren, mountainous, bleak and blast
ed are weak adjectives for description
What tiny streams there are are poi
soned with alkali. Navajo Indians
and occasionally an Apache, who has
left the reservation, are somewhat
plentiful in that region, but white men
very seldom go there, and then only
to get the old,silver and copper which
have been literally strewn throughout
this blighting, fierce region. Nothing
in the way of vegetation can grow
there.
Along the western border of this
desolate, uncanny wilderness Sarah
Burks rides twice week. Generally
she is alone, and If she has a com.
panion he is either a miner, a CONNER
cial traveller or a territorial lawyer
who has rented a horse from Miss
Burks' father. and she is to collect pay
ment for the same and see to its care.
She says she is fatalist, and no mat
ter how much danger may environ she

NEW SANTAIfE LOCAL AGENT.
c. l. Kerr Comes Down To Take
CHARGE of the Ell Qaso Station.

C. /. Kerr, the local agent of the
Santa Fe, has arrived and Is now in
charge of the local station and yard.
His duties will be similar to those of
Mr.. Montague of the Texas and Paci-
&c and Mr.. Mccarthy of the G. 81.
The appointment is the result of the
constantly increasing business of the
Santa Fe at this point, and the neces-
sity of adding t. the Office force.
Mr.. Houghton considered the ap-
pointment of local agent most sdvis-
able. and his suggestion was adopted.
Mr.. Kerr was lately chief clerk at
Albuquerque, and WAS formerly agent
at Magdalena, and relief agent On the
Santa Fe. He comes we'll recommend
ed as railroad man of experience.

Worn In Curious Ways by Several Pecu-

Jewels set in teeth are occasionally
heard of, but gold and precious stones
set in the human body is a fad not ex-
tensively popular. A gentleman re-
siding in Bombay wears a beautiful
emerald, which, set in O rim of gold, is
stitched by means Of gold wire to the
breast of the owner. Thus securely
fastened the green gem has rested I'M
der his shirt front for ten years. He
considers it is his lucky stone. Worn
by a certain barrister is a ring that
will not cor off. It is plain gold

Of the precious metal piercing the ring
and passing through the bone of the
finger, is filed down on the opposite

it to be his lifelong and inseparable

diamond and cluster of small rubies.
