HOPEWELL BITTEN
BY A RATTLESNAKE
With Senator Kennedy he Was Inspecting
a Coal Shaft Near San Pedro and Was
Without Medical Attention for
Six Hours.
UNUSUAL PHYSICAL AND
MENTAL vIC0R SAVED HIM

General Manager w. S. Hopewell of
the Santa Fe Central, had narrow es-
cape from death on Tuesday. In COM
pany with Senator Arthur Kennedy,
president of the Pennsylvania Develop
ment Company, he was coming over
the line of the road from Antelope
Springs. Among the properties they
inspected were the coal mines at Una
de Cato, miles west of San Pedro.
They had been down in two shafts
without accident, but when they were
in the third, Mr.. Hopewell heard the
vigorous rattle of a rattle snake.
He took no particular precautions,
believing the snake to be some distance
from him, and then stepped on it with
his left foot The snake struck him on
the front of the leg, but the thickness
of his trousers prevented the upper
tusk from doing worse than breaking
the skin. The lower tusk went through
the trousers and penetrated the skin and
tendons, but directly above the ankle

little flesh and few veins to receive the
poison.
Mr.. Hopewell had nothing to apply to
the wound except the stump of his ci-
gar and as soon as he got out of the
shaft, he cauterzed the wound with it
and bound it around his leg. On reach
ing the wagon, he bathed it in whisky,
but it was six hours before he could
give it medical attention at San Pedro.
Today the only inconvenience that is
felt from the wound is that the veins
above it are little blue. From the
force of the blow it is known the snake
was large one and had it not been for
Mr.. Hopewelfs presence of mind added
to his unusual physical and mental
vigor, the poisoned wound would likely
have been fatal.

White Mountain Irrigation Co. filed

tract will be entered into upon the FL
ing of the necessary affidavit by civil
engineer as to the feasibility of the en-
terprise.
The application Of the Abo Irrigation
Company for the reclamation of 5000
acres of land in Socorro county was
continued until the next meeting of the
commission.
A resolution was passed by the COM
mission requiring that the time for
commencing and completion of all work
under contracts shall date from the
time of approval by the secretary Of
the interior.
Upon consideration of various appli-
cations for aid to reservoir enterprises
1t was the sense of the commission that
there ought to be more definite infor-
nation at its disposal, showing the
feasibility of the proposed plans for
storage and irrigation and that when
ever the commission has funds to en-
ploy an engineer there should be a re-
port by such engineer in each case be-
fore final action, but that in the alb
sence of such engineer there should be
evidence on the subject from some
competent engineer. It was therefore,
upon motion of Mr.. Miera, seconded by
Mr.. Springer
Resolved, That until the commission
shall have means to employ it's own en-
gineer, it shall be required Of each ap-
plcant for a contract for aid to res
ervoir enterprise that he file with the
secretary Of the commission before
final action is taken the affidavit of a
civil engineer showing that
from personal examination he Is satis-
fed that the proposed plan for a stor-
age reservoir Is feasible; that there is
drainage area, and reservoir capacity
sufficient to impound and store the wa
ter for the reclamation and the irriga-
tion of the quantity of land specified in
the application, and that there is such
quantity of unoccupied public land
capable of irrigation under the propos-
ed reservoir.
The commission then adjourned to
meet at the call of the president.
