A CHINAMAN's BRAVERY.
The United States Navy Rewarded
 Him with a Medal.

There is in San Francisco a Chinese who proudly wears medals awarded him for bravery by the United States navy and by congress itself.
 Charley Tong Sing. a Chinese guide and interpreter was steward of the iil-starred Jeanette expedition and is one of the two or three survivors. He is a stalwart fellow, of good bearing and expression, and no doubt. owes iU to his splendid physique that he is alive today to tell the tale of his hardships. while so many of his fellow voyagers succumbed to the hunger, thirst and exposure encountered.
 Tong Sing bears on his breast two medals as a testimonial of his fidelity and courage and of these he is justly proud. One was presented to him by the United States navy department on his return to civilization in 1882, and IS inscribed Charley Tong Sing. Arctic Steamer Jeanette.'' on the front, and the words Fidelity Zeal. Obedience" around it, the reverse side showing q presentment of the old Constitution frigate and the words United States Navy" The other medal. which is of 
 presented to him by the congress of the United States under d special act. It bears on its face the words "To Charley Tong Sing. In commemOratiOn of perils encountered and as an eXpres- sion of the high esteem in which Con gress holds his services (Act approved Sept 90, 1S90)." Round this inscrip- tion appears Jeanette Arctic EXpedi- tiun. 1S79-1SS2." The reverse side is filled with a design representing the ill., fated vessel crushed in the ice and on the point of being abandoned. with the crew waving her a last farewell. The medal is dependant from q clasp stamped with the name Jeanette" and surrounded by a silver eagle.
 Charley's life has been an adventur- ous one. Born in Canton forty -tW" years ago. he came when quite small boy to San Francisco, and early took tO a seafarinG life in the merchant ser vice. acting in many capacities, untll he joined the Jeanette as steward m 1879. shortly after she came round the Horn on her trip from HaVre to thls city, where she took on board her final equipment and complement of men.

All hands worked till utterly exhausted getting out stores. boats. sleds, and everything that could he saved. Next day the Tasts fell by the board. the yards lay over on the ice and the Jeanette slipped slowly down between the walls of ice that had held her and disappeared forever. In all these adventures Charley Tong Sing, by reason of his health, strength and trustworthiness. took an active part.
 After this the party made it's way over ice and sea toward the northeast corner of Siberia. One by one the dogs sickened and died unti! in August only two were left, and the work of PrO- polling the sleds, which carried also the ships boats devolved upon the men. The weather was bitterly cold. stores became exhausted the ice was cut up into great mounds several hundred feet high, the surface being blocked with frozen snow and sharp pinnacles. Sev- eraI men died under the blasting chi!ls of the Arctic weather.
 Then the more open sea was reached to the southwarG. and the three boats were launched. Days and nights oi difficult navigation followed. till a gaze whipped the icy seas into fury and drove the frail crafts apart Charley was in the whaleboat with ten others, under command of Chief Engineer Melville. and his boat rode safely through the storm. The second cutter was lost with all hands. Captain De Longs boat, as was ascertained by his diary found by searchers long afterWard, reached land. Whsre after incredible hardships, every soul perish ed miserably.
 The WhalCbnat reached the Siberian coast at the mouth of q fresh water river. which the party followed in land. HcIe th, provisions failed alto gether. and life was supported entire ly on such game as could hc captured. eaten i%W. sometimes a seal or wal rus. aft,ner a GSl-naVorci sea bird staying eff the bangs of hunger. After many weeks some nuts were found and two Esquimo Indians proved friends in need with fire, food and shelter.

The two guide led the way to the Russian settlement of Eu- lun. on the Lena river, where dog sleds Were procured and start was made across Siberia westward. The dogs gave place to the reindeer. and these. later. to the railroad. by which means St, Petersburg was reached by the sick voyagers. From Russia the survivors went to London and then on to New York.

AGAIN.

The Denver dailies printed long
articles last week to the effect that
certain officials and fnanciers CON
nected with the Denver & Rio
Grande and Santa Fe roads were
at work on plans for a consolidation
Of interests of the two corporations,
uniting the two in one great system
which would control allthis section.
Under that plan, the Rio Grande
would build a broad gauge road
into Durango and thence through
San Juan county to a connection
with the Santa Fe main line in
Arizona, possibly traversing the
Grand Canon of the Colorado en-
ronte. A branch would then reach
the Santa Fe near Albuquerque.
In this connection, the Albuquerque
Journal Democrat says:
The Denver Republican says
there is abundant room for new
railroad lines in the west. With
respect to this portion OF the west
that is particularly true. There is
room in this territory for several

AnOther Homestesd Rlaht.

A recent Washington dispatch says;
Commissioner Binger Herman OF thegen-
esal land Office issued a circular to all
registers and receivers relative to the Bell
second homestead entry law Describing
the provisions OF the bill, Mr. Herman
says;
Any person who has heretofore made
a homestead entry and commuted under
section 2shall be entitled to tho benefits
Of the homestead law as though such
tornaer entry had not been made. Any
person who, prior to the passage Of the
new law, had made a homestead entry.
but from any cause has lost or loritited
the same, shall be entitled to the benefits
OF the homestead laws as through former
entry had not been made. Therefore
you will not hereafter reject homestead
application on the grounds that the ap
plicanh can not take the prescribed oath
that hO- has not previously made such
entry, ar be- lause he has perfected title
under section 230l, revised statutes, to
land entered under the homestead law;
but he will be required TO show by af-
tdavit designatings ttb entry formerly
made by description OF the land, number
and date Of entry, or other sufficient
data, to enable me to identify the same
onsthe records of this office, and that
1t was forfeited or cornmuted, as the case
may be. prior to the passage Of ths pres
ent act"
The Bell bill originally pertained only
to the lands Of the Colorado cooperative
colony, but was afterward made much
more extenSiye by amendment.
The San Juan County index. (Aztec, N.M.) 1890-19??, 1900-08-03

new lines, not only to develop
the country but to take care of the
business that is already developed.
The Republican further says,
"Denver needs more adequate con-
nection with New Mexico, and
that also is true. And the need is
ielt at this end of the line as much
at the other With the opening OF
another line ofrailway from Denver
to Albuquerque, Denver merchants
could sell to the people of New
Mexico the bulk Of all tLe goods
brought into this territory, but for
the want Of such a line nearly all
the business of New Mexico goes to
Kansas City, and will continue to
go there in spite Of the most ener-
getic efforts that the Denver dealrs
can put forth. Sine the Denver g
Rio Grande stopped at Espanola,
the merchants of Denver have lost
more for want of a through line to
Albuquerque than would have built
the section from Espanola to this
point twice over.
