q Synopsis of Work Done and What

CLARK COAL FIELDS REVEALS
IMMENSE CARRONIFEn0US DEPOSITS

| Hon. w. S. Hopewell returned on Sat-
urday evening from his trip to Pitts
burg and Chicago. His family came
with him from Chicago, his sons being
much improved in health. Mr.. Hope
well was UP and about at o'clock this
morning, with his tremendous energy
directing the affairs of the Santa Fe
Central Railway Company Of which he
| Is manager. He took time enough
| however, to tell the New Mexican rep
! resentative that the work of laying
rails is being pushed from Torrance, al
though it has been delayed somewhat
by the recent great fall of snow. The
track laying in the yards has been COM
pleted and the steel will go down rap
idly. The track laying will commence
from the Santa Fe end in few days,
the rails for that purpose having pass
ed Trinidad last Friday. Forty-flve
miles of rails will be laid from this end.
The grading will all be completed by
March Is, including the grade to the
ton and development work at these
coal fields has resulted in demonstrate
ing. that there are four layers or veins
of fine, workable COAL within distance
of 60 feet, the total thickness of the
veins being 20 feet. Machinery has been
installed and the showing made has
exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tions of those interested.
The local depot Of the Santa Fe Cen
trail Railway will be at the foot of
Montezuma avenue and Is the best site
for the purpose in Santa Fe. 1t is only
block from the capitol, 100 yards from
the Santa Fe depot and within sight Of
the penitentiary, the United States In
dian school, the Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lum and st. MichaePs College. The
Denver and Rio Grande trains will run
into the same depot which will be a
handsome structure.
There are number of improvements |
in Santa Fe and extensions of the road
which have been determined upon but
which it is too early to designate speci-
fically, but this much can be said, that |
the completion of the Santa Fe Central |
on June /, will mean the beginning of a |
new era of progress and prosperity for
Santa Fe. The road would have been
on May 1, but the delay in
the arrival of material and unusually
untoward weather have delayed the
completion Of the road and
the running of trains until June /.
