MAaINNIs RAs RESIGNED.
Claim Agent of Santa Fe at Los An
geles Will Go Specializing.

A P. Maginnis, of Los Angeles, whose
place as claims attorney of the Santa
Fe has been given to J. D. NJ Hamilton.
of Topeka, as told of in yesterdays
State Journal, has resigned, and he viii
hereafter devote himself to the inter
ests of the Mexican Development COM
pany, which owns some 100000 acres of
Oil lands on the line of the Mexican
Central railroad in the southern repub
lie
The Mexican company was financed
by E. L. Doheny, W. G. Nevin, c. A.
Garfield and other Los Angeles oil ex
perts. the company being capitalized at
over 81, 900, 900. No subscription of less
than 5000 shares was taken and nearly
100000 had to be returned when the
books We're finally closed owing to the
rush of people in the east, who sought
to get in on the ground floor
A. P Maginnis was among the or1gi-
nal ones in the enterprise, and when
actual work in the field began, early
in January, he obtained a six months
leave Of absence from the Santa F'e,
turned over his pleasant position and
went to Mexico. His idea was, that if
the facts warranted, he stood ready to
resign his Santa Fe billet IN order to
ger of the new enterprise.
The general prediction has always
been since Maginnis went south that
he was certain to return here, unless
the Mexican enterprise should develop
into a bigger bonanza than was hoped
by the most sanguine of its promoters.
The unexpected has, however, happen
ed and Maginnis has quit his railroad
job for good.
A. p. Maginnis has been one of the
best known and most popular men ever
connected with the Santa Fe in this
jurisdiction. He was a claim agent
with the company years ago. in days
when the lines of the system were first
being constructed throughout Kansas.
Merit advanced him until he was claim
and tax agent in all of the territory
between Albuquerque and San Fran
cisco, with his headquarters in Los An
geles. Every franchise and every bit of
right of way owned by the company
throughout southern California A p
Maginnis obtained. His personal pop
ularity was such that he had but to
position to accommodate him never be-
grudged him the favor asked. In the
old days, before the community of IN
terest idea was thought Of Maginnis
frequently had to contend against the
opposition of the Southern Pacific in
this section, but in none of these en-
counters did he ever come out second
best.
The Mexican oil enterprise in which
"A. p Maginnis and his associates are
interested numbers among its promo
ters President E. P. Ripley and Vice
President Kenna of the Santa Fe rail-
way. c. Kerens of st. Louis, U s, Sen
ator George c. Perkins, former Con-
gresham r. J. Waters and others. The
enterprise promises to turn out espec-
tally productive. Some of the original
promoters obtained their holdings Of
stock upon basis of less than rs cents
share.

Editor State Journal:
The article in your paper few days
ago IN reference to the names of the
engines on the Santa Fe brings to my
memory how they appeared to me when
first began work for the company, in
70 And thinking it might be interest
ing reading for many of the old en-
ployeS OF the company, ! will give list
OF few as they come to my mind.
There may be some mistakes but be-
lieve they are about correct You will
see that the switch engines in service
at that time were very light. Following
are their mum berS and the tonnage of
each: No. SO, 20 tons; IS, %; 49, %; and
90, p; but they could handle trains in
the yards about as easily as the road
engines could pun them on the road.
The engines have been remembered so
many times that it is almost impOssi-
bic to tell which from which. If / re-
member correctly, Is to II loaded cars

Topeka to Emporia at that time.

of getting the division terminals. Yer
