The SANTA FE CENTRAL RAIL WAY.
The Work Preliminary to Grading Is Now Nearing Com
peton

President w. II. Andrews end Vice
President and Manager w S. Hopewell
of the Santa Fe Central Railway Com
pany who just returned from a trip
over the line, report that great pro-
gress is being made towards complet-
ing all the work preliminary to actual
grading operations which are to COM
mence at Torrance next week. The
telegraph line from Torrance to Santa
Fe is to be completed in from two to
four weeks and has been delayed only
by the difficulty to get wire for the
line. All the buildings for stores, sta
tions, stock, ETC.. will be finished by
next week along the entire line. A
house for the diamond drill has been
constructed five miles this side OF Tor
rance, Lincoln county, and there
we'll will be bored through sandstone,
the indications for good water being
very favorable. All these preparations
are preliminary and necessary to the
actual grading operations which will
when once begun, be uninterrupted by
reason of this extensive preparatory
work.
The branch of ten miles to run west
from the main line to San Pedro is al
so to be built at once. The branch east
for seven miles to the salt lakes Is not
yet definitely decided upon. It's con-
struction will depend upon the amount
of salt that is to be taken out of the
principal lake which has been acquired
by the railway company. The line
through the OMora coal fileds will be
constructed before the Gallsteo cutoff
The permanent survey of the Albu-
oueruue Eastern from Morlarity's to

STABBING AFFRAY.
II Took Place on Saturday Night at the Corner Of San
Francisco Street and tho Plaza

One of the most deplorable rows that
has occurred in Santa Fe within the
past few years happened on Saturday
evening shortly before midnight IN

liam A. Bell, mining man and horse
dealer Of Tres Piedras, was cut in the
face and back with pocket knife and
painfully though not seriously injured
John Glass, negro, received several
slight cuts in the head. DR.. David
Knapp attended to their injuries, and
both are able to be about today. An
effort was made to prolong the fight
after the stabbing several men at
tempted to force their way into the
Arcade saloon, but peace was speedily
restored.
Yesterday Pedro Sandoval and Fran
cisco Romero, were arrested for cut
ting Bell and Glass. and were given a
hearing this afternoon by Judge McFie
who acted as committing magistrate.
Sandoval said he did not remember
anything of the occurrence Of the ev'
ening before as both he and Romero
were very drunk. He stated that he Is
very sorry and Is in a repentant mood
Bell, who was sober, had done nothing
to provoke the row, in fact, had said
to Sandoval. II don't know you. 40
not care to get in a fight with YOU
Sandoval was guard at the terri
torial penitentiary

the county Jail without bail to await

WATER LOSS OF RIO GRAADE.
Sufficient TO lrrIgats 10000 Acras istesN Ia the
Stream BY Ssepage.

Recent photographic work OF the
United States geological survey in New
Mexico, under the charge of P. E. Har-
roun, has brought to light facts of
Importance to the territory, among
them an estimate Of the serious loss of
water in the southern course of the Rio
Grande. The Rio Grande is one Of the
most important streams in New Mexi-
co, and is relied upon to furnish wa
ter for extensive irrigation, made nee
essary by the aridity of the climate.
The Investigations of the geological
survey have shown that much larg-
err quantity of water in this stream
than was supposed is annually lost by
seepage in the wide, sandy bed, in
which the river flows through the
southern part Of the territory. SO
great was this loss found to be that
10000 acres moro of land could be ir
rigated, it is estimated, by diverting
water from the river in central New
Mexico, above the point of loss, than
will be possible further south.
