A SIX MILLION
DOLLAR FAILURE
A Wholesale Dry Goods Firm Of New
York and Philadelphia Is
Insolveut.
LARGEST FAlLUREFORYEA
The Death of Ex-Mayor W. L. Strong and
of Mr.. Scott Precipitated the Crash
Edward A. Treat Is Appointed
the Receiver.

Philadelphia, Nov. 14-Wm. l.. Strong
& Co., the wholesale dry goods mer-
chants for whom a receiver was APP
pointed at New York yesterday, have a
branch house in this city at which a
large business is transacted Attor-
neys for the creditors have secured at
tachments against the firm here. The
attorney for the Griswold Worsted Co.,
said: 1T is one of the largest failures
that has occurred within the last few
years. The liabilities will easily amount
to $4,000, ,OO0."
THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.
New York, Nov. 14.-Edward A.Treat,
receiver for w. L. Strong & Co., said
today that he was at present unable to
remove the uncertainty whether or not
the firm is solvent 1t is not yet known
whether the firm was financially en-
barrassed before the death of Ex-May-
or Strong. The general opinion of the
dry goods trade is that it would not
have been necessary to apply for re-
ceiver had not Mr. Strong and Mr..
Stott, of Stottville, N. Y, died within a
few days of each other. 1t is generally
supposed that Strong was a large en-
dorser for Stott.

Big IRRIGATION PROJECTS.
One for the Milk River and the Other for

Washington, D. c., Nov. 14.-The two
important subjects to be discussed by

project it is proposed to build about SO

walton, reservoir costing in the neigh
borhood of $780, 900 which will supply
not only these once prosperous but now
distressed Indians, but a large area Of
public lands which is calculated to pay
the cost of the entire project.

NOT FAR FROM SANTA FE
The Extension of the Rock Island Railroad
Will Pass Within One Hundred
Miles of This City.
SURVEYORS DRYING FINAL STAKES

The Rock Island White Oaks railroad
surveyors are at work 100 miles south
of Santa Fe. Or rather they were a few
days ago. The New Mexican learns
from trustworthy parties that Chief
Engineer Summer, of the White Oaks
route, and party have driven the final
grade stakes for the proposed road %
miles east and north of Pinos Wells.
This is just 100 miles south of Santa
Fe, or about 40 miles nearer than it was
originally thought the new road would
iun.
1t is said the surveyors of the Rock
Island proper have located the line from
Liberal, Kas.. through to the Pecos
river, at or near Santa Rosa, and have
doubled back toward the east, being
last heard of in the vicinity of Clayton.
Under the arrangement with the Rock
Island people, the surveyors of the Ell
Paso and Northeastern Company are to
definitely locate this end of the line
through from Carrizozo mountains to
the Pecos, and this work is now receiv-
ing it's finishing touches. 1t seems prob
able that construction work will not be
long delayed.
The fact that this new transcontinen-
tai and International railway project is
to be operated within 100 miles of this
city, leads to fresh expressions of hope
that the Denver & Rio Grande will
some day in the not far distant future
see it's way clear to extend it's line
southwark and form connection with
it at some conveniently near point in
the vicinity of Pinos Wells. A consid-
cradle immigration and much prospect
ing for m.:les with good results has
characterized that locality during the
past year. Some large and important
discoveries in gold, copper, iron and
coal have been made in the Gallinas
and other mountainous districts down
that way, and there is developing con-
siderable local traffic which ought to
encourage a north and souths railway
enterprise, to say nothing of the in
crease in business that would come to
the D. & r. G. by having direct short
line from Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo to Ell Paso, the gulf and the City
OF Mexico

of the extension have been built to the
zos river. The line Is surveyed and the
Record is positive that it will be built
and will be the first new railroad to
reach the Meadow City. At the same
time the projected railroad line from
Las Vegas to Mora and Taos is to be
built.
