A WISE MOVEMENT.
Travelling Passenger Agents Acquaint
Themselves with the Sights Of the West.

C. A. Marsh of Syracuse, N. Y, and
George c. billiard of New York City, pas
senger agents of the Santa Fe route,
spent yesterday in the city and were
shown the points of chief interest to
tourists by the local agent, II. 5. Lutz.
The railway management is adopting a
wise and business-like course in sending
its far east representatives on these
trips westward along its line. 1t is
purely an educational matter, the idea
being to afford the passenger agents in
the east an opportunity to visit the
points of chief interest in the west so
that they may have personal knowledge
thereof and thereby be the better able
to answe the queries of eastern pat
rons of the road when starting west.
This is an innovation in railway pas
senger department work that will doubt
less rebound greatly to the benefit OF
the west, and is suggested by the growth
of the business expansion idea that has
now taken such firm root in the hearts
of the American people. The passenger
agents said there was every sign of an
enormous movement of eastern people
toward the west during the coming year.
The recent volume of business in the
sale of western lands, they thought,
indicated this; also the very great
foreign immigration which at New
York and other Atlantic seaboard points
is today remarkably heavy.

THAT STREET RAILWAY.
The Plans Of Denver Capitalists in Con-
naGtinn with Il.

The point of the business is just
this" said Col. George w. Knaebel this
morning: Denver capital agrees 10 es-
a street car system here if we
can get the right sort of a franchise,
but it will cost a few hundred dollars
for preliminaries, such as incorporation,
etc, and it wouldn't be business to go
chise is secured. Everybody knows
there is no value in such a franchise
at this time. 1t is a notorious fact that
the street car lines at Las Vegas and
Albuquerque earn no profits; but we
are looking to the future development
of Santa Fe, hence We ask for a long
time franchise, fifty years. And as to
fares, ) cents for children and 10 cents
for adults is little enough in the light
of history, as we find it at Las Vegas
and Albuquerque. In the latter city the
fare is 10 cents, and in Las Vegas 5
cents. We would be willing to have the
franchise we ask the city council to
grant provide that after ten years the
IdIt shall 1lOt tNCetu d CeltS, lOplIS w
that time to have built up a business
hat will make it profitable to operate
the system on that basis. We ask for
a franchise only upon those streets that
we occupy and build over. Under the
law we would have to secure permits
sion from one-half of the property own
prs on any street before we could place
| our rails thereon, even after the city
| granted the franchise. We would I'M
| dertake to have at least mile OF
| street railway in operation within a
| year from the date of the franchise. The
| first line would be built commencing at
a point near the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe depot, and running past the
capitol to Gaspar avenue, thence past
! the First National Bank to the plaza,
and thence out Palace avenu to a point
about 500 feet west of the east bound
airy line of the city limits"
In years past the board of county
commissioners, before the city was in
corporated, granted two flfty-year
franchises for a street railway system
in Santa Fe. The first one vas in 1880.
granted to M. w. Warner and others,
and in 1886 another fi~fty-year franchise
was granted Lehman Spiegelberg and
Others, but il both instances they were
required to commence construction
work within a year, which was not
done, hence the franchises lapsed.

The news of big gold strike on the
headWaters of the Copper river on the
Valdez-Eagle trail has Gust been brought
out bv J. H. McCort. Lhas. Hauge and
George Steelsmith. A stampede of some
degree is alre DIV on. The party arrived
night before last froma Forty Mile. Mr..
Steelsmth yesterday said while at the Pa
citc a.
1.-THE strike on the headwaters of the
Copper river, from all we have learned,
seems to be one of the best made on the
American side. The news was brought to
us at Forty Mile by Oscar Fish, the mail
carrier on the Valdez-Eagle trail.
"Fish came to the place of the new find
but few weeks ago while on his wav
from Valdez to Eagle 9Th mall He re-
ports the new diggings&p what is counted
a tributary to the Copper river 1t is the
Chistochna river,on of the northern forks
of the Copper,
1.-THE strike is 200 miles from Valdez
and $40 from Eagle, and above timber
line.
The strike, according to Fish was
made july d. The lucky prospectors inns
mediatey went to work, and carried lum-
Der nine miles to the creek to put in small
sIuices.
From one of the claims, Fish SAYS, two
men took fourteen pounds of gold up to the
time he passed there. They certainly did
not have long in which to do this, for Fish
reached US August ID, and the strike was
made only 40 days before.
1--WE had so much faith in what Fish
told US that we dispat( he'd one of our boys
to the strike right away with Fish on his
return trip. They got away from Eagle
August 20.
"We brought the ne VS. of the strike to
some of our friends at Dawson, and they
immediately struck out tor the new creek,
"The news of the strike is corroborated
bv Indians who arrived at Forty Mile from
over the Valdez trail. They said: white
man have found heap much gold; much
better place than Forty Mile
According to Fish, the new plaoers are
shallow, and are summer diggings. 1t Is
only four feet deep,
1.-THE men who made the strike could
not remain in the district because their food
supply gave out, and it was their intention
to go out and bring in supplies over the
glacier and the trail from Valdez next
February.
