A new RAILROAD pROJEC T.
tits an Independent Line from Santa Fe to
Las Vegas.

A new railroad project is being spoken
OF in this city. 1t is railroad
line from Santa Fe to Las Vegas across
the Pecos river forest reserve. 1t is un-
derstood that survey exists of feas-
ible route that would touch the coal
deposits on the reserve. 1t would also
pass through timber and an undeve-
loped mineral district and would open
the Pecos reserve to summer travel and
to sportsmen. Good cattle, sheep and
goat grazing lands as well as an agricul-
tufal section would also be subsidiary to
the proposed line. The plan at present
is to connect at Santa Fe with the Dem
yer & Rio Grande and the proposed San.
to Fe Central and thus gain connection
with the Rock Island At kas Vegas
connection is to be made with the pro-
posed Las Vegas-Mora-Taos railroad
which eventually is to strike the Denver
& Rio Grande near Trinidad. As soon as
the company is organized it is proposed
to interest eastern capital by making q
showing of the probable freight and
passenger traffic which such line could
secure as soon as 1t Is built, and the
industrial possibilities of developing the
water power of the upper Pecos, the
upper Santa Fe and the Gallinas rivers.

for the dark hours and the long sleep,
there is exhibited in its noble form, the
immortal influence of Athens. Her free
dom and her power have, for more than
twenty centuries, been annihiliated; her
people have degenerated into timid slaves /;
her language into a barbarous jargon;
her temples have been given up to the
successive depredations of Romans, Turks
and Scotchmen, but her intellectual en-
pire is mperiShable. And when those
who have rivaled her greatness shall have
