Santa Fe Officials Deny Intention to
Move Ration Shops to Trinidad.


Some very significant moves on the
part OF the Santa Fe railroad recently
have led the people of Ration to believe
that the division headquarters at that
place are to be removed permanently
to Trinidad, says the Denver News
Ration is about eighteen miles across
the New Mexican border. Last year
the company had almost completed
plans for big eating house to be bulls
In that place. Then, without any ex-
PLANTATION, the orders were counter
mar ded and II has been learned that
the place Is 10 be built at Trinidad.
That was the first rumor of the change.
This was followed by the making Of
1 trinidad the actual working division
headquarters several months ago.
For long time Ration has been con-
sidered headquarters OF the road and
1t seemed that the company was max
ing extensive plans for building up
their plant there. Increases were made
in the large machine shops which en-
ploy about 600 men. Recently activity
ceased and there Is an insistent rumor
tnat the machine shops are to be taken
from Ration and established In TRIM
dad. Within the last two months the
principal officials of the road have
visited both places and the matter has
been given good deal OF attention.
On the part of the ROAD there has been
a constant denial of these changes.
Yesterday General Superintendent
ID. Il. Cain, OF La Junta, was in the
city for several hours. In his party
was +. 7. Dolan, the superintendent
who is to succeed II, j. Parker, at
Pueblo. They have been making q
trip over the line to introduce Mr..
Dolan. The last OF the week Mr..

quarters of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company and the Colorado & Southern

/ There Is nothing in the rumor that
we intend to make Trinidad a division
point In place OF Ration" said Mr Cain
THE necessities that came up from a
congested freight traffic caused us to
make Trinidad temporary headquar'
tiers but as we will soon have relief
the necessity will no longer exist. The
mountain down there governs oui
transcontinental freight traffic. and O
necessity such as this comes up every

ty OF stealing clothes from the stores

Wilson was defended by II. Clayton
and Il. A. Perea. The defense tried to
prove that Willis had nothing to do
with stealing the clothes. but was only
friend of brakes, who could have
given him the clothes. But the evid.
cnco OF the prosecution went to prove

This afternoon. word reaches the
city that the long-lost and much
sought-after Spanish treasure had been
discovered Immediately the other side
OF Koarney's Gap. where lie the ruins
of the old Spanish fort, which General
Kearney demolished during his famous
journey through this country in the
Mexican war.
The facts in the case as nearly as
can lie learned hastily at this late hour
are that while workmen were excavat-
ing for the purpose of taking out red
sandstone for sidewalks, which com
modify abounus In that vicinity. they
broke into an old well, which had
been dug out of solid rock, and upon
investigation they discovered lying at
the bottom of the old well, among lot
of other rubbish. all of which bore
traces OF antiquity. two iron-bound
chests, covered with the moss of ages
and partly rotted away, with their
contents lying in conglomerate mass,
old and rusty looking. but which upon
further research proved TO he old
Spanish coins of several different de-
nominations. from the doubloon down.
The men dug all the coins out and
started for this city with their find,
which is probably of no great intrinsic
value at the present day, but which at
one time must have represented sew

THOMAS J. CURRAN.
s. +. Edmunds, of Cincinnati in
his talk before the meeting, gave an
outline of the best method for the cut
ture of tobacco. II was his opinion
that the culture of tobacco could be
made one of the leading industries of
the territory when the intelligent CO.
operation of concentrated efforts of
the people are put into the project. lie
pany in Albuquerque TO attempt the
culture of tobacco on scale large
enough to demonstrate that IL can be
made a commercial success. 1t was
his opinion that plan should he form
ulated whereby every farmer and land
owner in the valley will know how to
so about the culture of tobacco in an
inteingent manner. According to the
Investigations made by MIR. Edmunds
the conditions In the Rio Grande val
ley are favorable. and that In introduc.
Ing tobacco into New Mexico Is merely
planting ii In a soil to which il is ma.
tive.
A plan of the proposed company was
outlined by I. J. Curran, by which Mr.
Edmunds would he employed for ak
months and that In that time he could
with the assistance OF the industrial
department of the Santa Fe, give prac
tical instructions to every farmer
along the valley between Bernalillo
and Belen. There is no doubt In the
minds of the promoters that the in
vestment will make satisfactory re
turns. Mr. Curran stated that the
present plan was to plant forty acres
In tobacco In ten acre lots at different
points along the river, and thus test
the soil In all parts of the valley be
