TUcUMcARrs VERSION.
Reported That Rock Island Shops
Will Be Moved from Dalhart.

A special from Tucumcari in the
Albuquerque Journal says: A rumor
which has been in circulation for some
days, to the effect that the FL Paso &
Northeastern railway company had Sc
cured the so miles of track between
here ard Santa Rosa, was yesterday
confirmed by a dispatch from Chicago
announcing the conclusion of the deal
ana also the fact that the shops of the
Rock Island, for the FL Paso division,
which has been located at Dalhart
would be removed to Tucumcari as
soon as the new deal goes into effect.
which will be before the first of the
new year. undoubtedly. Although Tu-
cumcari is rejoicing over the good
news, property owners in Dalhart and
Santa Rosa are .doWnhearted, as this
means great loss to Dalhart in pop
ulation and pay roll
With shops and round houses, Tu-
cumcari will soon become a good-sized
town. The union depot and joint
shops will be an established thing, in
all probability.
The big boilers, and most of the ma
chinery for the electric light and ice
plant and steam laundry are here, and
the work of installa ton begins this
week. Two of the men who have the
work in charge arrived yesterday, and
Mr.. Fisher, of Alamogordo, the man
ager of the company, is expected to
arrive this week.

Santa Fe Officials Home From
Inspection Trip.
Found Unusual Prosperity on
the Santa Fe Lines.
WILL BOOM TEXAS.
Lumber, Oil, Rice and Cane Can
Be Secured There.
Fruit Prod ucing Area of Cali
fOrnia Is Increasing.

President E. P. Ripley,Vice President
Morton and Vice President Kendrick
have just returned to Chicago from
their annual trip of inspection over the
Santa Fe system.
The party first visited the pine forests
of eastern Texas, which Mr.. Morton
says is the greatest remaining timber
belt east of the Sierra mountains. The
demand for lumber has improved dur
ing the last few years and, at the pres
ent time, the mills have all they can
do.
Beaumont and the new oil discoveries
at Saratoga also were visited. New
wells are being discovered at these
points every few days and that, with
Sour lake, may be a greater producer
of oil in Texas and California has given
the manufacturing interests of both
states an impetus. The Atchison rail-
road, Mr.. Morton said, is using oil on
its engines in Texas and California and
constantly is extending the use of it.
After visiting the timber and oil dis
tricts the party went to the rice fields
north of Matagorda bay and inveSti-
gated the Roadway this industry has
made during the last few years. So
impressed were the visitors that the
Santa Fe company will acquire Deem
Der l the control of the Cane Belt rail-
road, running from Sealy south to
Matagorda city. The line is 10 miles
long and runs through a territory
which, besides rice. raises a superior
quality of sugar cane.
After leaving the coast country in Tex
as the Pecos Valley in New Mexico was
visited and the party was surprised at the
progress made in fruit culture and irriga-
ton.
From Ell Paso, Tex. the gateway of
Mexico, the party proceeded west on the
Ell Paso and Southwestern railroad to Bis
bee and Douglas, Ariz-
The old mining camp of Tombstone was
visited. The principal mine at this point
once was owned by the late N. K. Fair
bank and his partners, and at one time
produced great wealth
At Phoenix, Ariz., Mr.. Morton said cv-
erything appears prosperous, merchants
all are happy and more than satisfied at
the prospect of the government work on
irrigation, which already has begun.
After q trip over the new Prescott and
Eastern railroad. now being constructed
into the Big Bug mining district, the par
ty proceeded to the Pacific coast
The San Joaquin valley, in California, it
was found, has just harvested a big fruit
crop and Bakersfield, Fresno, Stockton
and other points in the valley are grow
ing. The country between Stockton and
San Francisco, which was nothing but a
marsh, is being reclaimed and orchards
planted.
The prospects for the citrus fruit crop
in California, Mr. Morton said, never were
better and 1t appears as if there Will be
nearly 10000 ear loads of oranges within
the next II months.

Jas. J. Hill May CoDcede Principal
Points in Merger Case

Philadelphia, Pa. Nov 24-President
James ]. Hill of the Northern Securities
company was in the city today and spent
the greater part of the day in consulta-
ton with his attorney, John G. Johnson,
going over the details of the corporations
appeal from the federal circuit court of
appeals, which is docketed to be heard
From authority close to Mr.. Hill it was
learned that, on the advice of counsel, it
had been decided to surrender every right
granted under the New Jersey corpora ton
law to the Northern Securities company
except that of purchasing such securities
as the management may see fit to obtain
from an investment viewpoint.
The right to vote the stock in the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific and the
is to be renowned, as is also the right of
the securities company to have any voice
in the management of those railroads.
The Securities company is to declare be-
fore the federal supreme court that each
of these big railroads is to be continued
under separate management, and there is
to be no community of interest agreement
maintained as separate companies, each to
have individual management and offices,
as before the merger under the Securities
company charter, which was obtained in
New Jersey November 1, 1901.
The meaning of this is according to one
of the attorneys for the Securities COM
pany that the judgment of the circuit
court of appeals of April last, declaring
the merger void, is honored by the COM
pany and that it merely desires to have
the supreme court pronounce it a lawful
corporation in that all possible objections
alleged to conflict with the United States
antitrust law have been removed.

Death of S. P. Mitchell Recalls Cald-
we'll Boom.

Wellington, Kan. Nov, .24.-samuel ?,
Mitchell, aged 60, died of dropsy, near
Medford Monday. He IS one of Kansas'
Oldest real estate dealers, beginning in
1885, when he sold his farm near Caldwell
silver he had discovered on it. A party
from here had an assayer come from
Colorado to assay the ore. He secured a
sample OF the ore unawares and assayed
it, found it contained but little sill
yer and was going to assay some more OF
the ore before him to prove that It was
of no value, but when he secured his sam
pie at first he accidentally dropped soTnG
good from his pocket This he Sc
cured when he made the assay before the
crowd that had gathered there and found
it to contain much of the pure silver ore.
Every one then went wild and bought
the land at any price before the story
leaked out that it was nothing but KAN
sas shale.
