personal mining interests.
On receipt of a telegram announcing
the serious illness of his wife at St.
Joseph, Mo, J. H. Davenport. an en-
ploye in the local shops, left for that
place last night.
Lee Hutchinson has resigned his po-
sition as collector for the Imperial
laundry and will occupy the requisition
desk at the local shops, recently made
vacant by the resignation of Edgar
Strumquist.
The Southern Pacific never had such
heavy passenger traffic in the summer
time as it has enjoyed this season. The
company has trouble in getting cars
enough to handle its regular traffic and
excursions.
1t is said that the railroad people
and the mining companies will spend
more than $1,000, 900 around Clifton,
Ariz., during the next twelve months,
making it one of the greatest camps in
the southwest. |
The railroad committee of the Ros-
well club met the other night and re-
solved itself into a committee of the
whole to assist the committee of the
chamber of m in compiling the
necessary data for presentation to
President Andrews of the Santa Fe
Central at Ell Paso when he gets there.
The Pennington Times says: The
railroad that was mentioned in these
columns last week is not, as many sup
pose. a branch of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe system, but is an independ-
ent line backed by Pennsylvania capt.
talists. Work on a part of the line is
now under a which fact shows that
it is not all on paper.
Up to his morning no further infor-
nation had been received concerning
the machinists, strike on the lines of
the Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe. The
dissatisfaction is thought to affect sew
eral hunured craftsmen and appren-
tees, the union throughout the south
being particularly strong n being |
supported by state statutes. Texas re-
uuired of the Santa Fe that shops |
and Offices of the road be located with
in it's borders and this is taken by
some to mean that repairs on machln-
cry will have to be made at some of
the shops there, so that in such a case
the company would be unable to get
relief from it's workmen in other states
by sending away its engines for over
hauling.
The New Foreman.-Inomas Creary,
formerly in the Kansas City Southern
railroad shops at Pittsburg, Kan, who
has been visiting with friends in the
city the past few days, left last night
for San ~Bernardino, Cal. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Creary will succeed l..
A. McNeal, as foreman of the Santa
Fe Pacific blacksmith shop at that
place, Mr.. McNeal having resigned.
Ed. Laveile All Right.-Word comes
from Douglass, Ariz., that Ed. Laveile,
one of the best foremen of railroad
track layers in the country, is pushing
work on the Ell Paso & Southwestern
railroad, but contemplates going to
work, in a short time, on the Santa Fe
Central. Lavelle is one of the best
men in the business, and has laid
most of the track in the southwestern
country. Manager Hopewell would
be getting a pusher in Ed. Lavelle, and
whe track laying is inaugurated on
the Santa Fe Central, with La
velle in charge, it will be a positive
guarantee that work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible.
New Terminal Town.-The Here
ford Brand, PUBLISHED at Bovina, n. NJ,
saws: while nearly all the papers
along the line of the Pecos Valley rail-
road are claiming that the new pro-
posed extension of the road to some
point on the Santa Fe main line in
New Mexico will start from their re-
spective towns, it is our opinion that
the road when built will be started
from Bovina. Our reasons for this
statement are that the KIT owners are
anxious to have a good town establish
ed at Bovina n as an inducement to
have the road started at that point can
give the railroad company a right of
way clear through to New Mexico, and
a glance at the map will Show that
Boyina is the nearest point on the line
to Albuquerque, where it is expected
the line will terminate"
Rock Island Wins.-lt was reported
in ST. Louis railroad circles that the
Rock Island road has finally won in its
fight for The control of the Virgins
Ferry property, though at an advance
of $4,000. 900, which would make the
total purchase price $1,000, 600. 1t was
further stated that in the settlement
by which the Rock Island is to take |
over control of the property, a traff1c
arrangement will be entered into by
the Rock Island and the as
sociation for the operation OF the Wig
gins Terminals on a similar basis TO
that of the terminal.
UItimatum to Strikers.-The Union
Pacific Railroad company gave formal
notice to its striking shopmen to re-
turn 10 work at once or forfeit their
positions. The following notice was
posted at the shops:
Resumption of work having been
decided upon. employees of the differ
ent shops uesirous of continuing in the
service of this company should report
