4 SHORT CUT.
1t Is Being Considered By the Santa Fe
Railroad Oompany.

The Ell Paso papers, which are great
paper railroad builders, now assert that
it Is stated in Topeka that the heads of
the Santa Fe system have under con-
sideration the extension of their line
from Amarillo, Tex, through the rich
grazing and mineral lands of Guada-
lupe, San Miguel, Santa Fe and Ber-
nalillo counties to Albuquerque. This
would not only cut off the long Colorado
elbow and reduce the distance between
Chicago and Los Angeles by several
hundred miles, but would also get rid
of the heavy grades in Colorado and
northern New Mexico, which make
freighting costly. With lighter grades
one engine can haul much more freight
and make faster time.

uation around Mobile is more desperate
to-day. Every hour the loss is grow
ing. The Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, which heretofore has been free
from damage, and has been handling
freight and passengers of other rail-
roads the past six days, is now suf-
ferer also. The bridge over the West

rains continue throughout the flood dis
tricts of the south, and the danger to
lives and property is becoming more
grave. 1t was estimated on Saturday

has been already destroyed, and 1t is
now thought probable that this dam
age will be heavily increased. Mail and
telegraph communications have been
destroyed between the smaller towns of
Mississippi and Alabama, south of
jackson, the northern limit of the flood.
Many farm houses are swept away and
the occupants are barely escaping. The
flood district is roughly bounded by a
line drawn from Mobile up the Tombig-

thence west through Jackson, Miss, to
the Mississippi river Thousands Of peo-
pie in the small water-bound towns of
Mississippi are reported on the brink of

ROBBERS PLEAD NOT GUILTY.
The Story Of the Bowman Bank Robbery Al
Related By One of the Robbers.

In district court at Las Cruces last
week Oscar j. WILDER and William Will
son both pleaded guilty to the charge of
robbing Bowman's Bank. The lawyers
for the defense were A. B. Fall, of Las
Cruces and John Franklin, of Ell Paso.
The prosecuting attorneys were Maj.
w. H. H. Llewellyn, s. B. Newcomb and
H. B. Holt. The case of Print Rhodes
and William Craven, accused of being
accessories to the crime, is on trial.
Both pleaded not guilty.
Oscar J. WILDER. one of the principals,
turned states evidence. He testified
that the robbery was planned at Fierro,
Grant county, by Brooks, Wilson and
himself about February 1 of this year.
On the way to Las Cruces Brooks and
Wilson quarreled over the leadership of
the expedition, and Brooks left him.
Wilson and WILDER then went as far as
Organ, and from there went to Print
Rhodes in the Organ mountains, where
they formed camp and Rhodes Joined
them. The contemplated robbery was
talked over, and Rhodes agreed to fur
nish the horses. William Cravens came
to their camp with Rhodes and brought
horses. Craven agreed to come on with
them and to stay outside Of Las Cruces
and to throw any one, off the trail II
they were pursued. When near Las
Cruces they met man who claimed the
horses robbed by Wilson, which he took
away from them. They then returned
to their camp and Craven went home
On February II Rhodes and Craven
came again with two more horses. The
same night WILDER and Wilson left
alone for Las Cruces. They came on to
Organ, where they staid until the next
day. and then came on and robbed the
bank. In making their escape one Of
their horses gave out about four miles
from the mountains. They then rode
the one left until he also gave out, when
they came into camp on foot. The sec.
ond day after the robbery Rhodes came
to their camp early in the morning, and
later in the day Craven also Joined
them, when they divided the money
giving Rhodes and Craven $10o each. He
said the whole amount was $1,1S6, much
less than they had expected to get. They
then took their first mount and went
to Ell Paso, and from there to Mexico
They returned to the United States BY
way of Eagle Pass, and went to Sar
Antonio, Tex, where they were arrest.

LOST GOLD HUNTERS SUFFER.
Scores of Stampeders from Dawson
 Wander and Nearly StarYe.

VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 26.--A story of great hardship and suffering and the narrow escape from death of nearly l09 gold seekers is brought from Alaska by E. B. Scroggle and Mining Recorder Burwash, who have just reached here from Clear creek, where a rich find was recently made. The find caused stampede among the miners at Daw. son, and while the adventurers were on their way to the new field many of them lost their way. Frank Slavin, the pugilist was among the number. Many were without food except what they could pick up, such as roots and berries, or what little game they could kill. The keenest suffering resulted from their destitution, and when set clement was reached many of the wan derers were reduced to skeletons and their clothes were so worn and torn as to afford them little protection. So far as known no lives were lost

English Gold Mine.

Up in an obscure corner of north Wales the only gold mine in the united kingdom is being worked. It is known as "St. David's." Here a profitable plant, covering 730 acres, is in active operation. Eight or nine lodes out crop on the property, three of which have been tapped. One of the ''reefs" averages one and one-half feet in width, another two and one-half feet in width and the broadest five feet. The total results from all sources show a recov. cry of fourteen and one-half penny weights gold per ton of ore, and total cost of mining, milling and concentra- tion is placed at the extremely low hg- urs of shillings ($2) ton. The use of water power and the hydraulic mining system, combined with low wage scale, enable this abnormally cheap cost of production, and the 60,000 S29l, 990) of the company s capital stock is paying out shillings (S2) share. The St. David's mine is said to be still undiscovered as far as its ultimate pos abilities are concerned,

 The city council of Fl Paso has granted franchise for long distance telephone line in Fl Paso to connect with Deming and Silver City.
 The Fl Paso Times says: It looks very much as If the Arizona and New Mexico railroad is to be extended from Clifton to Fl Paso at an early day. Ru- mors to this effect are very persistent and it is significant that the chief engi- neer of the road has made his home in Ell Paso, and there is some talk of the general manager locating here.
