 The Grand canyon railroad is as un- settled as ever. Conferences are being held daily by railroad men, lawyers. and creditors, but they all adjourn with a question mark after them. The san ta Fe road has been represented by its attorneys here for several days, but nothing definite thus far is reached. The end sought is to keep the road out of the hands of a receiver, adjust the matters in a way to 'tne satisfaction Of creditors and move on as of yOre. It is very much desired to complete the road at once to the canyon, and do away with the disagreeable stage ride for the last ten miles of the trip. The very unsatisfactory turn that the road has taken has not only been very great disappointment to those interested in it's success, but has as well worked great hardships upon la bOT5rs and creditors. It may be too early to predict the outcome of the present embarrassment but it is known that the Santa Fe Pacific is willing to get hold of the Canyon road. and if something is not done before long many will be in favor of this move.
