APPLIED TOBACCO AND WHISKY.

w. s. Hopewell. general manager Of
the Santa Fe Central. came down frcm
Santa Fe last night and today Is talk.

cal stockholders OF that road.

a few days ago While inspecting a coal
mine in the San Pedro mir irg distiic
Mr.. Hopewell, &C ,ompanied by Senator
Arthur Kennedy president Of the Penn

along the line CT the Santa Fe Central
rsilroad to Santa Fe, inspecting var
ious m'nipg properties owned by the
company while en- route.
At Una de Grto, a small place about
eight miles west OF San Pedro, the gen.
items went int coal shaft TO make
q thorough investigation Of the prop
erty. They had net entered more than
ten feet, when Mr.. Hopewell was
startled by the vigorous rattle Of rat
~
they were bent on the work in hard,
the snakes waning was not regarded
seriously. and consequently MIR. HoI O.
wei stepped on II and 1t struck him.
AS the trousers Mr.. Hopewell wore
were very heavy, the snake fangs did
not penetrate very deep. making only
slight and net dangerous wound. As
mt dical assistance was not to be had.
n clear stub was temporarily bound
over the wound. and with little whis-
key proved to be an excellent remedy.
On reaching the wagon they drove TO
San Pedro, where the wound i,caived
professional care.
The only inconvenience Mr. Hopewell
feels today from his experience is that
the ankle joint Is little stiff. The
gentleman attributes his quick recov-
cry 10 the cigar stub and his unusual
physical vigor.
