"A NEW SMELTER
AND RAILROAD.
San Pedro in Southern Santa Fe
County is Bound to Be
Prosperous.
TWO GREAT ENTERPRISES.
The Santa Fe Gold & Copper Company
Will Soon Blow In Its $50 Ton Smel
ter-The Santa Fe-Albuquerque
Railroad.

Hon. j. 7. Mclaughlin, who has
proved an intelligent and painstaking
member Of the county board, is in the
city in connection with his official duty
as county commissioner. He brings
good news from San Pedro and vicinity
touching the progress of mining and
milling affairs. Never have matters in
dustrial looked so bright for south San
ia Fe county as at present. The SAINTS
Fe Gold and Copper Company, of which
Mr.. Mclaughlin is superintendent is;
this week engaged in putting the iast
few finishing touches on it's new 250 ten
smelter at San Pedro, and expects to
elbow in" some time next week, A few
important pipe connections whit1 ar-
now on their way from Denver ara ali
plant, and it will then be ready to siart
ur. At present over 200 men are an :
ployed about the mine and mill, and
this force will be considerably Increased
when the new plant gets steadily down
to business. At San Pedro and Golden,
and out on the Tuerto flats, where the
gold cement people are earnestly at
work, a spirit of new enterprise and
solid business is seen that it is good 10
observe. Considerable building is going
on, both at San Pedro and Golden.
A PROJECTED RAILROAD.
Mr. Mclaughlin expresses himself as
d1,ita onnfdant that tba ipcorpora tonS
of the projected Santa Fe, Albuquerque
& Pacific railroad, which is designed to
so through San Pedro, thence south to
connect with the Rock Island some
where near Pinos Wells, mean to push
the road through with all possible
speed. He says that any one who will
take a map and consider the great rail-
way systems which this little y-shaped
line of $50 miles will bring together
through it's proposed connections at
Santa Fe, Albuquerque and south to-
ward White Oaks and Ell Paso, can
scarcely fail to be impressed with it's
Importance to central New Mexico and
its entire feasibility as business enter
prise. The tonnage in sight along the
route will consist of coal, ores. lumber,
live stock, salt, ETC., which from the
very start ought to be sufficient to in
sure a profitable traffic, to say nothing
of the general commercial business, and
the new line will open up and develop
an isolated region of country which is
as rich in natural resources as any in
the Rocky mountain country. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin understands that Senator w.
H. Andrews, of Pennsylvania, who has
given due attention to the financial end
of the project, is expected out from
Pittsburg in a few days, and arrange
ments will then be made for placing a
surveying corps in the field during the
permanent grade stakes. Of course, he
is enthusiastic over the future of San
Pedro and the rich mineral district
thereabonts under the circumstances.

EXTRADITION TREATY WITH ENGLAND
It is Amended so as to Correct Certain
Imperfections.

Washington, December ia treaty
has been concluded between the United
States and Great Britain, amendatory
of the existing extradition treaty, in
tended to correct certain imperfections
that the instrument developed by re-
cent experiences. The changes do not
materially affect the scope or principles
of the existing treaty, the chief item
being provision classifying as crime,
subject to extradition, the obtaining Of
money under false pretenses. At the
present the treaty makes extradition-
able the reception of money obtained
under false pretenses, the omission of
the principal in crime constituting a
manifest absurdity.
