SANTA FE SURVEYORS
TO RUN ANOTHER LINE

The Santa Fe survey party, that
has been running a preliminary line
from Dudleyville in Pinal county to
LordShurg, New Mexico, distance of
$50 miles, arrived in Solomonville last
Friday morning on the return trip
and departed Monday for Dndleyville
from which point new survey will
be run, says the Bulletin.
Tue line as surveyed starts at Dud-
leyville and traverses the fertile ella
valley to Duncan where 1t leaves the
river and crosses the plain to Lords
burg which point will be the temper.
airy terminus Of the new line.
From Solomonville to Duncan the
survey takes lead up the river in
order to obtain the best grade. At
Duncan branch suryer was made to
Solomonville, across the mesa, and
the grade established. This later sur.
vey is the more direct route, but its
preference over the river route if any
was not stated.
Il has been rumored that the survey
party will run new line up the valley
nearly paralleliug their first survey,
and that they will again reach Solo
knoxville in April Of next year.

RAVAGES OF BOIL WeEVIL
Grave Menace TO the Cotton Industry
Crop Damaged 500, 000,0 900.

The cotton crop averages TO be worth
from $500, 900, 900 to 5000, 900, 600 year.
The great enemy OF the crop is the
cotton boil weevil, says the Boston
Journal, which first came to Texas
from Mexico In 1894. Despite all
efforts TO and parasite or remedy
for the weevil, the nuisance continues
until it has nearly covered Texas and
now threatens not only Louisiana, but
the whole cotton crop Of the South.
The legislatures of three states have
been called together to consider ways
and means of arreSting this pest,
and the Agricultural department. at
Washington has been actively engaged
In cooperating to this end. Ii is pro.
posed TO adopt quarantine against
cotton and cotton seed from Texas
and institute rigid inspection of all
infected plants.
Ia Mexico a parasite has been dis
covered which is rapidly killing the
boil weeyil, but, strange to say, this
parasite does not thrive in our Ameri-
can climate, and hence more vigor-
Gus parasite must be produced. The
boil weevil in the place where it
originated seems to be successfully
arrested just as several insects have
been killed either by parasite or by
other means in the United States, as
for example the Colorado beetle.
Inasmuch as the cotton crop of the
past year has been probably damaged
of 800, 600, 900 by this inSect,
the weevil becomes an economic issue
OF national Importance.

The Cedar Valley Mining company
has just let contracts for the inStalla-
ton of brick plant at the mines and
for the manufacture of go, 900 brick.
These brick are to be used in the con-
Struction of smelling plant for the
handling of the product of the concen-
trateS and ores To matte. When this
plant is completed the mines will be
equipped with modern machinery and
the raw ores handled in the most eco
nomical manner. The company has
also let contract for the construction
of a wagon road from Yucca to the
mines, distance OF TWEEN ty three
miles. The roadbed will be built along
grades upon which rails can at any
time be laid and the road equipped
with electric motor aud rolling stock.

A. 5. RosecranS, general manager of
the Standard Copper mines, stated to
the Clifton Copper Era, that the new
aerial tramway will most probably be
in successful operation by the last of
this week. The completion Of the
tramway was delayed by many unfor-
seen circumstances, and during its
construction the output of the mine
was greatly reduced as the pack train
was used in carrying timberS for the
tram way. During the construction OF
the tramway but little effort was made |
to take out ore, but now that the tram !
way is completed the ore will be com |
ing down at lively rate. The ore will |
now be taken from bins at the mine
and conveyed to bins on the railroad
track in buckets over the aerial tram
way, which will allow the shipment of
a much lower grade of ore than here
tofore. The mines are said to be look
ing better than at any other time in
their history.
