THERE WAS NO CONCESSION
To the Builders of the X. c. To
Coast Railroad.

In the Two Republics, of the City OF
Mexico, ia published this detailed de-
NAL of the granting OF concession to
the railroad which was to make Ell
PasO famous:
The Diario Official has not published
any concession granted to S. A. With
erbee, of Monterey, or to anyone else
for railroad to TOpolobampo, with
or without concession. The only
existing charter is that held by the
Messrs. Creel and associates from Chi
huabua to the Pacific, and they will
have 200 kilometers finished by end of
March: but this has nothing to do with
the projected road from Kansas City
to TOpolobampo. Again, by the Rail-
way Law of the 10th of April, 1899, the
government caunot give any greater
subsidy than $4,000 per kllomet and
that only for the lines specially men,
toned In the said law.
This Stilwell project looks very
much like an attempt to renew the de
funct A. K. Owen scheme of line
from Preside del NOrte, on the Rio
Grande frontier, south and east of Ell

TO BE MARRIED IN JAIL
Alberto Garcia, Condemned To Die
To Marry Felicia Tays.

81 want very much to marry Felicits,
and as soon as my father returns and
brings me the money, we will be mar
ried.'
This is what Alberto Garcia, the
Mexican boy under sentence of death
in the Ell Paso county jail, said today.
Garcia has strong hopes of the court
of appeals granting him a new trial,
and says that when it is granted, he
will prove that he did not fire a single
shot. This point was not made by the
defense before, and when asked why it
was not, Garcia said today that he did
not know.
His father, a carpenter, is now at
work in Clifton, Arlz., and when he
returns, it is expected that license
will be procured and that the marriage
ceremony will take place in the jail.
F'elicita Telles is the Mexican girl
of unusual beauty who was the boys
sweetheart before the killing, ard who
has been constant in her affections
ever since. She is now
mother, and each day she comes
to the Jail and sits in chair outside
the condemnedicell, and talks to her
lover. She makes for him tortillas
and cooks frijoles, aud brings. these,
with the other dishes that the Mexican
loves.

GOING HIGHER up
Railroad Men Will Take Double
Header Question Before the State
Commission.


Railroad employees who worked so
persistently for the passage of q bill
prohibiting the use of dou ble-header
engines to single train cay they are
very well pleased with the measure as
1t was finally enacted into law. SEN
etor Green wrote the amendment
which placed the matter in the hands
of the state railroad commission and
thus it was passed by 10th houses and
signed by the governor, saws the Hous-
ton Post. The contest between the
employees and the companies may
therefore be said just to have begun.
T. T. Adams If this city, chairman
of the legislative committee of the
Order of Railway Conductors, said
yesterday that the fight against the
double header will now be carried to
the commission. The date for a h ear
ing on the matter has not yet been
fixed, but the commission will be
asked to set as early day as possible.
Mr.. Adams worked valiantly for the
bill and will be heard before the COM
mission when the time comes.

BOX CARS
in A BLAZE
And The Old Samp|ing Works
Destroyed BY Fire
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE
The Department Boys Make Good
Time And Do Some Good Work.

The Department Boys Make Good
Time And Do Some Good Work.
The first real fire of the year in Ell
Paso occurred yesterday afternoon, md
the net result is the destruction of tn g
old corrugated iron building formerly
occupied by the Ell Psso Sampling
works, and the complete or partial de-
struction of ten box cars.
The old Sampling works building is
| located on Santa Fee switch northwest
of the Santa Fee rouudhouse, and ha Q
been abandoned for twelve years. The
fire probably originated in the build
ing from the lighted cigar of some
tramp communicating its fire to the
timber, and then famed into Fl anne by
the strong wind.
The fire was first seen by son of
Master Mechanic Booth and Bryan
Barton, from the round house and an
alarm turned in at four thirty-nv
The fire department boys made good
time, but we're handicapped by the In
accessibility of the fire, having to run
their hose from the plug near the
foundry of the Ell Paso Foundry and
Machine com pany, q distance of over
1900 feet.
An attempt was made to pull away
the many oars standing on tracks i'm
mediately adjoining the burning build
ing, and this was successfully done
with more than fifty cars, but the
40 hu
before they could be removed, ten care
were fred.
OF these four were burned down to
the trucks, and are total wrecks and
masses of smoulderine iron, while the
we'll directed efforts of the fire boys
saved the remaining six from total
loss.
The burned cars included q Mexican
Central, 2 Hicks stock cars, a Penn
sylvania and B. & o. S-W, Missouri
Pacific and four T. & P. cars.
The loss on the four cars wholly
burned ia estimated at $500 for the
wood work, and $3.50 for the trucks, or
a total loss of S27O0. The Santa Fe
road will probably make good this loss
by payment. The damage to the other
cars is estimated at between two and
three hundred dollars apiece, and they
will be built by the Santa Fe here in
the shops. The total loss on cars is
little over $4,000.
The old Sampling Works building
has not been used since the building
of the smelter here twelve years ago,
and is the property of the Smelter COM
pany. The loss is trivial. Great
credit is due the iremen for their
fig ht under serious disadvantages.

"His playing last night was wonder
full in it's skill and marvellous for it's
sweetness and beauty. Every number
was received with the utmost enthusi-

THE JUAREZ FIRE
Depot To Be Rebuilt At Once And
An Extra Waterman To Be Put
On

The Sierra Madre line will rebuild
its depot at once. That is rendered
absolutely necessary by the pressing
need for building in which to handle
the amount of freight on hand for
shipment. The present temporary
quarters are too small by far and are
neither comfortable nor safe.
The new building will no doubt be
similar co the old one with probably a
few changes suggested by experience.
just what day the actual work will be-
gin is not yet certain but it is under
stood that Engineer Atwood is now
busy on the preliminary work and it
will be rushed through rapidly.

COPPER DISCOVERIES.
Several Claims Found In the San
Bias Mountains Southwest OF
JudreZ On the Sierra Madre
nai1rnaA

A mum Der of rem srkable copper dis
coveries have been made in the San
Bias mountains sixty miles southwest
of Juarez on the Sierra Madre line.
There are some six or eight claims
that have been discovered within the
last two months. Two new discoveries
have just been made. The ore runs
about 35 per cent copper with some
gold and silver, sufficient to pay the
expense of working.
One of the claims ia owned by Can't
lilo Arguelles, of Juarez. This is one
of the oldest, having been discovered
about four months ago. The names of
the discoveries of the others are not
given out because as yet the titles have
not been perfected.
DISCOVERY IN Ell PASO COUNTY,
T. P. Hill has brought to the HER
AID Office samples of copper ore which
it is estimated will run forty per
cent. They have been taken to an as
say Office, and the exact value of the
ore will be ascertained.
The point of interest about the sam
pie to Ell Paso people Is the fact that
they came from within twenty-six
miles of the city, and the vein from
which they are taken is located in the
state of Texas.
"My partner, Mr.. Bessley aud l."
said Mr.. Hill this morning, shave
located six claims at q point about
twenty-six miles from Ell Paso, a lit.
tie west of north, and about half mile
from New the Mexico line. The vein
from which these samples were taken
lie five feet thick. The claims are
on railroad land, think, and the pros
pect certainly gives wonderful pro-
mise"
