DIRT HAS COM
MENCEO TO FLY
Active Work on the Santa
Fe Cut-of Has Been
Begun.
BELEN IS NOW A BUSY PLACE
Heavy Grades Will Not Be En-
countered and the Con-
struction Will Be
Pushed.

A citizen of New Mexico direct from
the field Of active operations on the
new Santa Fe railway cutoff gives the
New Mexican interesting information.
The contractors are already at work
from Belen east to the Abo Summit.
From Belen to the mouth of Abo Can
on, a distance of about 20 miles, the
contractors are laying a temporary
track on which to transport supplies
and material for the heavy work in the
canon, which is about four miles long
with perpendicular walls of rock from
300 to 500 feet high and only wide
enough at the bottom for a wagon road
and from 300 to 600 feet wide at the
top. At the mouth OF the canon in the
far distant past there was evidently at
one time momentous subterranean
disturbance, even surprising the dis
turbance in the present Colorado legis-
lature. At this blowout, the geologist
will find interesting food. Many varie-
ties Of rock from every stratification
this side of the Internal regions are
disclosed-granite, marble, trap, gneiss,
porphry and limestone of various ages,
ETC., although the main portion Of the
four mile canon, lies in horizontal lay
ers of limestone Of immense thickness.
On these shelves of heavy limestone,
the track will be built far above the
flood line in the canon and on account
of the sinuous line Of the canon the
railroad will cross it on high iron
bridges five times in four miles. After
passing through the canon as one goes
east he enters Abo valley which is an
open valley to the summit 16 miles dis
tant. The railroad line passes about
one mile south of Abo ruins, which are
about five miles above the canon. Not
withstanding the Abo valley and canon
embraces water shed or drainage
area OF about $50 square miles there is
usually very little If any water flowing
through the canon; but at thimes the
volume of water that pours through it
is not to be scoffed at by railroad
builders. At the summit of the pass or
valley, which is 40 miles by railroad
line from Belen, the land is on the wes-
tern verge Of an extensive plain cover
ed with fine gramma grass and groves
of cedar and pinon. For century 1t
has been the sheep herders paradise.
Here at the summit, the first dirt cut is
located, one mile long and 35 feet deep
at the maximum, containing 10000 GU
bic yards of dirt. A colony Of Kansas
men have located at Abo Summit and
expect to develop the region. 1t is es-
timated that the line through the Abo
valley will be double-tracked. The
grade is about 70 feet to the mile in the
valley, but from the summit east to
Kansas the grade is not above 35 feet
to the mile. Railroad men will COM
prehend the advantage of these low
grades.

POWERS ARE WRANGLING.

POW ERS AXE WRANGLlNG.
Berlin, Jan. 27.-President Castro's
offer of 30 per cent of the customs re-
ceipts of La Guayra and Porto Cabello
as a guarantee for the payment of for
eign claims is regarded in official cir
cles here as evidence Of sincerity Of his
intention to make satisfactory settle
ment. AS the offer, however, includes
the claims of other countries besides
those taking part in the blockade, some
doubt is expressed as to whether the 30
per cent is adequate. A discussion is
now proceeding to determine this point.
1t is also uncertain whether the allies
will admit that the powers which do
not join in the blockade shall share In
the results the former secured through
expensive naval operations.

MUST RENEW BONDS YEARLY.
Important Ruling as to Saloonkeeper'
Made by judge Given.

Des Moines, Feb. ga point de-
veloped in the trial of the state
against B. F. Parker and was passed
on by Judge Given that will be of in
terest to those engaged in the liquor
business in the state.
The testimony showed that Parker
had procured the bond filed with his
consent from an indemnity company,
and that tne year for which he had
paid the tax expired in September
last. The bond was not renewed I'M
til January. The state maintained
there had not been compliance with
the mulct law, inasmuch as there had
been no bond for the period between
September and January. The defense
claimed, and offered testimony to
show there had been bond, the con-
tention being that the bond ran in
definitely or as long as saloon was
conducted by the parties named in
the bond upon the premises it describ'
ed. There was evidence to the effect
Parker placed his bond business in
the hands of the local agent Of one OF
the bond companies and depended
upon him to make renewals, and that
it was the oversight of the agent that
resulted in the fling OF the bond. But
the principal contention was that in
as long as the first bond was in force
there was no occasion for a renewal
that the law had been complied with
Judge Given instructed the jury that
the law contemplates the filing of a
new bond the first day of each year
and the payment of the mulct tax
upon the first day of each quarter
He said that failure to do this does
away with the protection afforded by
the law, and that the sales of liquors
become violations of the old Clark
law. 1t was ascertained yesterday
that great many saloonkeepers in
Des Moines fail to renew their bonds
from year to year, figuring that a bond
continues until revoked by those sign
ing it. 1t was also stated that 1t has
been the common practice in the state
IN do This
