The work of wiring all the lower levels and drifts is in progress and the entire property will be lighted throughout by electricity very shortly. All the i'm provements being installed at the big workings are strictly modern and up to date, all of which will make this the model mining plant of the territory.

RAILROAD FOR
 TOMBSTONE

H. J. Simmons, chief engineer, and S. l.. Waukewitz. locating engineer of the E. P. & s. W, were in Tomb stone Friday. returning Saturday to Fl Paso, says the Tombstone Prospector. The gentlemen were there to confer with Superintendent w. F. Staunton with regard to sidetracks and switch facilities required at the Tombstone ties. One survey has been made but others are found necessary for location of trackage to the points desired. An engineering difficulty confronts the en- gineers in making a survey to bring the track above the big shaft on the hill and to accomplish this it will be found necessary to circle the hill from a distance and maintain an easy grade.
 Of the road to Tombstone, MT. Sim mons stated that it would positively be built. Rumors setting a date for the throwing of dirt were heretofore baseless as the company have some very important work on the Fl Paso end that must first be completed, all available men being utilized at that point Arrangements are all made SO that when the men are transferred here no delay will be occassioned and the work can be crowded to comple- tion. The early building of the road is assurued and the time for beginning work can only be governed by the handling of other work outlined, the Tombstone being next on the program.

PRESIDENT WILL ACCEPT.
Roosevelt Notifies Frenchman That
He Would Be Pleased to Act as
President of Olympic Games.

Paris, Dec. 2S.-Baron Coubertin,
president of the Olympic games, has
just received personal letter from
President Roosevelt in reply to the
invitation sent to the latter asking
him to become president of the Olym-
pic games to be held in Chicago dur
ing the year 1904. Mr.. Roosevelt says
he will lay the whole matter before
the cabinet, and that, so far as he
himself is concerned, he takes the
keenest interest in the undertaking,
and will do his utmost to make the
meeting at Chicago as successful as
the last one, held at Athens.
Mr.. Roosevelt's letter is couched in
the warmest terms. He referred to
Baron Coubertin's works on sports,
with which the president showed ac-
quaintance.
Baron Coubertin, who was much
touched by Mr.. Roosevelt's kindly
reference to himself, said the presi-
dents acceptance would, in view of
his enthusiastic support of all manly
sports, cause the greatest pleasure
to all concerned in the games.

governments. He is now claiming
modification of that word, and has de-
clared if Chill does not accept that
modification he will leave Santiago
and annul all that has been done.

that hostile demonstrations are likely
