SUPT. DOUGLAS.
His Visit Last Week to Globe and
 Fl PaSO.
Il PaSO Newspapers Anxious for News Concerning the Terminal of
 the A. X S.. f. Ny.

oupeflnGenuent Walter Douglas re. turned Friday last from \ trip to Globe aud Fl Paso, made in company with MT. A. c. James, of New York, whC had previously made visit here and also one to Nacasari.
 At Globe the United Globe mines, owned by Phelps, Dodge X Co., are working good force of men but are smeltlng no ore there, the output going to El Paso for reduction at the smelt- CTS there. The visit of Messrs. Doug las and James to El Paso was for the purpose of trying to procure lower charge for smelting their Glo0e ores, which are said to be silicious and hard to treat.
 When the gentlemen reached Fl Paso all the newspapers in that city were anxious for news concerning the terminal of the Arizona and South Eastern railway, now building for an eastern connection. The presence of Superintendent Douglas and Director James, of the Copper Queen, in El Paso, was sufficient to stir the reporto- rial thirst for news on a subject about which the Fl Paso papers have printed many stories, which, if true, would mean great deal to that town and aG d to it's importance as railroad center.
 In explanation of the presence of himself and MT. James in Fl Paso, Superintendent Douglas told Times reporter that they were there to con- suit the El Paso shelter company about the reduction of the ores shipped there from Globe, and continuing said:
 "Our company is now building three railroads, and if they intend to extend the Arizona and South Eastern to Fl Paso ] do not know it. The road has been surveyed to Separ, and the cross- section work has been done to that point-a very good indication that the road is going to be built to Sopar.
 "Yes, it is possible the company may have thought of extending the line to Fl Paso, but there is nothing definite in such proposition so far as 1 am in formed. If El Paso wants the road why don't your people come forward with a tangible proposition instead of offering mere suggestions as to what might be done? The road would bring an immense trade to this city, and of course our company would reap some benefit by the extension to El Paso.
 Mr. Douglas thought that Phelps, Dodge & Co. would consider propesi tion from El Paso for it's people to fur nish ground for terminals But, |" added Mr. Douglas, ''l am confident the company will consider any definite proposition El Paso will make. have seen a great deal in the Times about the Arizona and South Eastern build ing to Fl Paso, and about your people being willing to offer inducements for the road to come here, but l have not heard of any straightout busiHess prop osition being made"
 Superintendent Douglas left Tuesday morning for New York, where he goes for consultation with the Copper Queen people on matters pertaining to their interests in Arizona and Mexico, and no doubt the matter of the terminus of the new railroad will be considered. {. Mr. Douglas expects 70 return here by Christmas, when he says he will be able to make definite announcement of the point where the South Eastern will make its eastern connection.
