COAL AND TIMBER ENTERPRISE.
Alamogordo the Heart Of a Country Of Dual
Industries.

In discussing the work accomplished
by the Ell Paso & Nort',.aastern railway
and associate corporations Chas. b. Eddy
says:
ssAll our plans have been carried out
as we originally intended, except in two
particulars. Our project did not at the
outset contemplate branch into the
mountains for the timber. We have
built rs miles of road for this purpose,
from Alamogordo, and have let the con-
tract for 20 miles more. This will take
us to the top and down into the valley
of the Sacramentos. Nor did we con-
template a branch IT, the Jariilas, which
we have also built. We had no expecta-
tion of tapping such vast wealth of
timber and mineral along the road.
"We now have 1874 miles of railroad in
operation, including the two branches,
but excluding sidings. The distance
from Ell Paso to Captain is 165 miles. 1t
is the Salado or CAPTAIN coal fields we
are tapping. The White Oaks coal fields
are ten miles from Carrizo station, which
in turn is 20 miles this side Of Captain.
Besides the extensive coal fields at Capt.
tan there are vast deposits of lead, cop
per and silver all about Captain. 1t
will become an important shipping point
for these minerals. Next to the coal in
point of Importance, however, are the
great deposits of iron ore, chiefly mag
netic and hematite. The iron deposits
have not been opened up to any extent
yet There are few prospect holes,
some as deep as so feet, and very promis-
ing. A thorough test of the iron ore has
been made at the Colorado steel works,
and their report is 1t makes as fine Bes-
semer steel as any iron in the United
States. 1t will be great thing for Ell
Paso If we can get it manufactured here.
$50 far l have not been able to get
anybody interested In it. Manufacturers
say they can make iron at the big plants
in the east and ship it out here cheaper
than 1T can be made here. But shall
not give it up.
experts estimate that the Salado
coal basin that we have tapped covers
an area of about 1000 acres. There are
two seams, one about SO inches thick,
the other about 60 inches. Both veins
are good coking coal, and in point OF
quality the coal is as good as the best
that ever comes to the market 1t has
been thoroughly tested. 1t burns with
slightly red ash, and without any Gin
der whatever. 1t holds its shape per-
fectly, never slacks. The coal Is we'll
suited for all steam purposes.
"We started in to make this purely
local enterprise, and have no plans at
present for anything farther. We are
satisfied to make and keep 1t local
road, because as such it will pay hand
somely. But in view Of the railroad
situation l am confident that it is only
question of time when some of the
larger roads will build in to meet u.s.

The Freight Car Famine.

Chicago, Oct. l1.-One of the most
serious car famines ever recorded exists
among the big railroad terminals at
Chicago. Several roads report that the
congestion of business has assumed the
proportions of blockade. In addition
railroad officials find it impossible to OBJ
tain enough extra men. Thousands OF
cars built for the Rio Grande road by
an Indiana firm have mysteriousfy dis
appeared en- route to the west. 1t is
said they are being used by roads short
of cars and will he held until the fam

Charged with Plagiarism and ChaI-
Ienged to Debate by DIR. HaII.

DECATUR, ILL.,. Jan. 27.-Col. Robert G.
Ingersoll delivered his lecture on "Supersti-
tions" last evening in Powers Opera House
Before going to the hall he received a
sweeping challenge to debate from the Rev
George f. Hall, pastor of the Christian
Tabernacle in this city. The challenge en-
braces about 1000 words. DIR. Hall reviews
the colonefs career as a lecturer for thirty
years past, and charges him with igno-
rance cowardice, and charlatanism He
enumerates these charges under seventeen
different heads, as follows:
l. Is it not true that you never saw the
hour when, by fair examination, you could
secure d hirdgrade certificate TO teach
in the common schools of Illinois?
% Is 1t not a fact we'll known to the Illi-
nois bar that you are a poor lawyer weak
in counsel, your sole power consisting in
splurgy, spread-eagle speeches before q

% Are your lectures not simply a series

phemous ridicule jokes. and unscrupuIous,
assaults on the Bible and Christianity?

Eleven Sailors Tortured and De-

Gaping death by drowning, eleven of the
crew of the ship Manbare were captured
and eaten by cannibals of New Guinea.
The Manbare was bound for Sydney. Aus

gale of December. Near Cape Nelson it
began to sink. The crew, eighteen all told,
left the vessel in two boats and soon be-
came separated. One boat, containing
twelve men, was finally thrown ashore ten
miles from the cape. The sailors were
seized by natives from the interior and hur-
ried off to the village of the chief. One
man, James Greene, escaped. The sailors
were stripped and bound and killed, one
each day. A wild orgie was participated in
by at least a hundred savages who had
gathered for the feast. In several cases the
sailors were tortured by the old women and
children of the tribe. The eyes of one were
gouged out. The doomed men stoically
Watched the elaborate preparations for
their death. huge pot filled with boiling
water was used for the feast, which on
the first day was prolonged away into the
night In most cases the men were be-
headed their heads being stuck on poles
and paraded before the men who were to
suffer the same tate. Greene was rescued
by a steamer after tramping without food
a day and night to reach the coast. The
scenes of horror he had witnessed turned
his hair snow white.
