TRI:WEEKLy SERVICE.
The Denver and Rio Grande Railway
Proposes to Decrease Its
Service.

The railroad postofIlce clerks on the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad run
ming out of Santa Fe, have received no.
tice that from next Monday on, there
will be only a tri-weekly service over
the line instead of daily service.
Clerk J. E. Wood will probably remain
at Santa Fe, but Clerk Carruth will
probably take a run on the main line,
making his run out of Silverton, Colo.
1t is said that the tri-weekly service is
necessitated by the intention Of the
Denver and Rio Grande to run only tri-
weekly trains while the road is changed
from narrow gauge to standard
gauge line and because the narrow
rapidly that it is sufficient only for tri-
weekly service on the Santa Fe-Anton-
ito line. The company intending to
change the line to standard gauge
soon, does not care to invest any more
money in narrow gauge equipment.
However, this curtailment of service
will mean great hardship to the Es-
pamela valley, and to Taos, Rio Arriba
and San Juan counties, and to over so
postoffices that depend entirely upon
the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
for their mail service. A strong pro-
test will be sent from Santa Fe both to
the Denver and Rio Grande manage
ment and to the postoffice authorities
at Washington. The Denver and Rio
Grande will also lose much of it's traffic
and popularity in this section and will
experience considerable trouble In
moving freight, for even at present
with daily service, freight cars are of
ten compelled to lie over several days
or week at Espanola and other points
before they are moved.

Peabody is making efforts to have the
differences between the Republican and
Democratic senators adjusted before
noon today when a joint session of the

EXCELLENT OIL AND
MINERAL PROSPECTS
Representative McIvers Talks Of the
Work of the New Mexico
Oil and Development
Company.
WAITING FOR THE SAnTAFE
CENTRAL EXTENSION

Hon. w. A. McIvers of Nogal, one of
the minority in the House of the pres
ent legislative assembly, is greatly in
terested in mining and oil propositions
and looks eagerly forward to the day
when the extension of the Santa Fe
Central shall be built from Torrance to
Roswe.,. Mr.. McIvers is manager of
the New Mexico Oil and Development
try from Nal Pals to the vicinity of the
Gran Quiyera. He believes that coun-
try has the best prospects for oil in
New Mexico, and his company is now
putting down one we'll and is complet-
ing arrangements to sink second one.
The first we'll is down about 200 feet
and the deeper it is sunk, the better are
the indications of oil. There is a strong
odor of oil when the rock is broken and
the company is beginning it's tests from
the lowest point of land of the district
and working upward. From the for
nations the company expects to bring
in oil at from 900 to 1900 feet.
Mr.. McIvers is also interested in min
ing claims and has recently given his
attention to a district from which he
expects much. This is known as the
Estey City district, north of Oscura,
and at the eastern edge of Socorro
county. 1t is copper proposition and
averages about Is per cent. It is a
teaching proposition and has been
known to many for some time, but has
not been taken up. Mr.. McIvers be-
lieves there will be a great boom in that
section when the Santa Fe Central is
extended from Torrance to Roswell
The haul from his properties to the
probable line of the railroad is all down
hill and the output Of that entire Sec
ton will be sent to the Cerrillos smell
ter. 1t is impossible to work the prop
critics at a profit and send the ores to
the Ell Paso smelter and the owners Of
claims are simply waiting for the new
road to begin active work. It is ex-

In anticipation of the railroad going

in the Jicarilla district. Mr.. McIvers IS
vice president of the Rico Mining Com
pany which is doing active work in So

ESCAPE FROM PRISON.
Elleford and Sosso Break out of Jail at
The Orpheum.

The thrilling melodrama of the Black
Flag, in which W. j. Elleford will take
part for the first time in two years,
and in which Jessie Norton also plays
a prominent role, will be presented at
the Orpheum this evening This is
one of the star pieces of the Elleford
repertoire having been reserved to the
last awaiting the arrival of Elleford
and Jessie Norton.
Elleford as Lazarus, the London
sharper, has most congenial role and
furnishes much merrymaking. Lazarus
is funny under the most trying circum-
stances and the part is one that is
never likely to be forgotten. The
whole play is of a first class order of
merit and contains many exciting
scenes with the acts set in Portland
prison, the escape and the recepture.
Jessie Norton, as Ned, the faithful boy
has role calculated to bring out her
powers to the fullest extent and plays
the role with rare sympathy. The play
Is full of interest from the very start
and action never lags until the finish.
The first Jessie Norton matinee will
be given tomorrow afternoon when
Lost in New York will be presented
with Miss Norton as the waif.
