The Denver Republican says:

Another step was taken Thursday to lands closer to Denver when incorpora- tion papers were filed at the state house for the Colorado & Gulf railroad. The incorporators are Charles E. McCon.
 nell, Charles Herr, Ben w. Ritter, F. R. Graham and l.. c. Sheets all of Durango. The capital stock is $1, ,0O0,- 900 and the principal offices will be in Durango.
 The plans for the construction of the Colorado < Gulf have been under way for several years, but in the last three or four months active work has been done by the promoters of the company. The proposed road will extend from Durango south through La Platta coun- ty, traversing San Juan, Socorro and Grant counties in New Mexico.
 In Arizona the road will connect with extensions now under way by the Phelps-Dodge syndicate of railroad builders. This syndicate has several small roads in Arizona which it has built or acquired from time to time and It is now connecting together these roads. The terminus of the most im- portant line of the syndicate is Lords burg, Arizona, on the Southern Pacific. This line will be connected with the Colorado & Gulf. The new road also crosses the Santa Fe. It traverses the country practically undeveloped. It is rich in coal and it's precious mineral possibilities are comparatively un- known, but are known to be very rich.
 The new road will cut of corner Of the Moqui Indian reservation unless there is a change, it will skirt the edge of the reservation. Those familiar with the country proposed to be opened by the new road speak of it as very rich and productive. The main pur- pose of the road is to give Durango a direct line south to the Southern Pa cific and through country now far re- moved from railroad communication ] with the outside world.

TIE big steel strike at Pittsburg is drawing to q close. It is said that Mir. Morgan has consented to permit the Amalgamatod Association to continue union lodges in the mills that were non-union previous to the strike but which went out on President Shaffers order, and that the United States Steel Corporation will be permitted to oper- ate all mills of the Carnegie Steel com pany as they arc now, as well as the big sheet mills at Appollo, Vandergrift and Saltsburg provided the wages paid shall be on the basis of the union scale. The strike at San Francisco is still far from settlement.

THOSE who arc opposed to govern mcnt ownership of telegraph lines will probably be surprised to learn that the government is operating telegraph lines in Porto Rico and the Philippines, and that the service is most satisfac- tory. In Porto Rico a message can be sent to any pact of the island for two cents word. In the Philippines the government has 5000 miles of line con- meeting all of the principal places on all of the islands, and two cents a word is the charge. Cablegrams from one island to any of the others, cost only four cents Il word. Government ownership would certainly cheapen the rato to the people of the United States.

She at tempted to slash him with knife, but fortunately was prevented from doing 80 by by-standers. Rice was employed in barber shop and that night se- cured his tools and Init the grit" He left note to the proprietor asking him to turn his wages over to his wife, and has not since been seen in that section. The woman returned to her home in Silver City.

THE Sampson Schley controversy is again in evidence throughout the country, having recently bcen brought to the front by Maclay's alleged history. A court ot inquiry has been appointed at which Admiral Dewey will preside. It is we'll that this mat. ter is to be finally settled for good and all. It is apparent that Sampson is at the bottom of tho whole business and it is also quite evident that much sensational evidence will be developed. There seems to be much jealousy and spite work in this case, and when the incident is finally closed it is likely that Sampson instead Of Schley will be lowered in the estimation Of the Amer- ican people

While Mir. Carncgic's generosity is to be admired, what can be the result of q system which allows a man during a natural business career to accumulate such q vast sum of money?

COLORADO AND GULF.
Surveyors Now in the Field for the
 Durango Clifton R. R.

Thos. H. Wigglesworth, chief engin- ger Of the Colorado and Gulf Railroad. accompanied by Mir. Rogers, who have charge of this end of the work, arrived in Clifton Saturday night and Monday morning purchased tents, camp equip ments and necessary supplies for a corps oi engineers, who are now at work running the preliminary survey Of the road from Clifton to Durango. There are now four surveying corps in the field, one from Durango south, one from the A. & P. north aud cue from the same point south. in addition to the one now working north from Clifton.
 It is estimated that the preliminary survey can be made in about four months. The starting point from Cliff ton will be from the center of the A. & N. NJ. track east Of the bridge on Hills addition, and will follow the right bank of the river through town, and on up the river crossing it as few times as possible. The road will go by Frisco, Alma, St. Johns, Allentown river, which it will follow for some distance, thence to Las Animas river. and up that water course to Durango, the starting point.
 The work on the preliminary survey will be pushed as rapidly as possible, and as soon as it is completed contracts for the construction of the road-bed will be let, the work to be commenced the surveyors are now working. In fact the contracts for the work are now being drawn and bids will be enter tained as soon as the survey is com pleted.
 The building of this road will open up wonderfully rich section of coun- ry, extending through New Mexico and Arizona, and when completed it is most probable that the road will be connected with several of the best running camps in Arizona.
 It is a well known fact that the best coal and coke in all the west is from Durango, which at the present time has no southern outlet for it's product. This proposed road will open up a vast and almost unlimited market for Dur ango coke and coal. At the same time the line will penetrate the heaviest timber belt in Arizona from which mining timbers and lumber can be drawn for ages to come. This road will naturally have a tendency to cheapen all mining supplies. With its com pletion there is no reason why Clifton should not eventually become the greatest smelting as we'll as mining camp, in the southwest. A connection with the A. x N. NJ. k. R. at Clifton, will enable the large smelling estab- lishments at Morenci, Fl Paso and Bis bee to avail themselves of this new market for coke and coal.
 The name under which the road was granted it's charter would indicate that its objective point was on the gulf, but whether it be the Gulf of Califor- mia or the Gulf of Mexico is not now known

Justice Wright is something Of a ''crank" on weather. He keeps two thermometers, one in his office and one in his bed room. Both thermometers have seen much service, and were not very reliable to start with. The Judge paid but little attention to the thermom- eters until this week, when the people commenced to complain of the heat. On Tuesday he noticed that the ther- mometer in his office registered only 80, and he remarked several times tha it was nice cool day. Along in the afternoon he repaired to his bed room, in the rear of his office, to take his usual siesta. He was just going to sleep when his eye accidentally fell upon the thermometer, which register ed 1l6. In two seconds he was wet with precipitation, and he came back In the office looking like a drownded rat. He remarked that he did not re- member ever experiencing such hot weather in Clifton before. He glanced at the thermometer and saw that it still registered S9 degrees. The Judge was at first inclined to think that "the boys" had put up a job on him, but after a careful examination he found that they were built that way" He now works and sleeps by his office thermometer, and says that he can't remember ever experiencing such a pleasant summer in Clifton, and he has been here some time.

TIE Silver City Enterprise says that cattlemen of eastern Arizona are pray ing for rain. This is evidently d mis- take as Graham county, and in fact, all Southern A rizona, has been blessed with rains for some time past. Dan Ming, formerly of Graham county, onco prayed for rain so fervently that his prayer is still quoted by stockmen during dry seasons. Dan is now in the Philippines, washing out gold nuggets, but his fame as rain exhor- ter, will ever live in Arizona.

CONGRESSMAN Loud is confident of putting his reform postal bill through the next congress. There is no ques- tion but that the government is being imposed upon under the present law. Under the new bill it is expected that the rate for letters can be reduced to one cent, which would prove an item of importance to business men.

member of the Constitutional Conven-
tion from Staunton, are booming him
for the Democratic nomination for
Attorney-General before the Norfolk
Convention.
They point to his splendid ability as
a lawyer and say that he halls from ex-
actly the right section of the State, in
the event the first and second places
on the ticket go elsewhere.
Mr.. BraxtOn was asked concerning
the matter to-day. and said, while he
felt grateful to bis friends for their
kindly reference to him in this connec-
ton, yet be was not and did not ex-
pect to be an aspirant for the honor.
