TRACK LAYING PROGRESSING SATISFACTORILY

General Manager W. S. Hopewell
the hustling and energetic head of the
Santa Fe Central Railway, arrived yes
terday from an inspection trip along
the line and the coal mines of the New
Mexico Fuel and Iron Company at Ha-
gan. Work is progressing very salts

him today announced that the track

rance coming this way. There is con-
| sidera BILE trouble with the water supply
| on the south end, but this will be OBJ
waited as soon as the track laying force
reaches Progreso, from which point a
plentiful supply of water will be had. At
the coal mines of the New Mexico Fuel
and Iron Company at Hagan, at Uno
-.e Cato and,at Pine Vititas work is
progressing steadily and satisfactorily.
The diamond drill is keeping constantly
at work and the fifth vein of coal aver.
aging about five feet in thickness has
been discovered. Professor Charles r.
Keyes, president of the New Mexico
School of Mines at Socorro, is again at
these coal fields for the third time MAX
ing careful and thorough inspection Of
them and watching the work of the
diamond drill In his opinion these
fields are among the most extensive and
permanent in the southwest and the
coal is of a superior quality.
In this city the laying of tracks by
the Santa Fe Central Railway in It's
yards on the south side is progressing
rapidly and the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad is extending it's switch
tracks to the Santa Fe Central yards.
Superintendent Witleberger of the 4th
division of the road, was here yester-
day for that purpose. Plans for a
handsome union depot have been drawn
and are now in General Manager Hope
wells possession. These will be sub
mitted to the Denver and Rio Grande
authorities and if satisfactory
to them work on the union depot on the
south side will commence at once. This
will be located due west of the brick
building known as the University Of
New Mexico. Nine carloads of steel
rails were received Via the Denver and
Rio Grande railroad last night.
The grading force and camps have
been Withdrawn from the Santa Fe
Central railway line and are now at
work on the grade of the Albuquerque
Eastern railroad which will be contin-
led for 13 miles and then run northwest

Progreso and as soon as a good water
supply shall be available, track-1aying

Expects to go to Denver and Chicago in
day or two on business for the road,
md upon his return, no doubt the con-
truction of the union depot at the San
a Fe Central Railway yards will be-
ome fact. Material is now being
'ushed to the south end Of the road via
he Rock Island route and 70 cars Of
ails and other material were reported
'esterday at Santa Rosa to be shipped

RESTRAINED BY INJUNCTION.
New Denver Fire and Police Board Made No
Move Today.

Denver, April 15.-The fire and police
board appointed by Governor Peabody
last night made no attempt to take pos
session of headquarters today, being
restrained by the injunction secured by
the old board. No date has yet been set
for hearing the injunction proceedings

not be settled till passed upon by the
supreme court. Mayor Wright and City
Auditor Barton will reorganiZe the new
board but this will have but little ef-
feet.

STRIKING PAY DIRT.
Lieutenant Governor Lee is Overcome By the
Nervous Strain.

st. Louis, Me-, April 15.-The exam
ination of witnesses by the ST. Louis
grand jury that is primarily nvestigat-
ing the charges of boodling in connec-
ton with the baking powder legislation
in the Missouri general assembly was
resumed today. Circuit Attorney Folk
is not confining his Investigation to
baking powder matters for as the in
quiry proceeds he finds evidence of other
Doodle deals, involving numerous men-
sures.
A special to the Post Dispatch from
Jefferson City, Mo-, says. Lieutenant
Governor John A. Lee, star witness in
the legislature Doodle inquiry is III and
will be unable to go before the Cole
county grand jury today. Lieutenant
Governor L.e and Attorney General
Crow held long conference last night
at the latters office in the supreme court
building. 1t was past midnight when
they separated. The nervous strain
upon this examination is
thought to have brought about the
lieutenant governors present indisposi-
tion.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

mediate section The scum is dispersed
on several square feet OF the surface by
the salt freighters. The salt then rap
idly rises and forms a covering of beau.
tiful crystals on the puddle. Those are
scraped together in small mounds and
the moisture in these little salt hills
quickly evaporates in the sun and wind
The salt is then loaded on wagons, a
thousand pounds per wagon, or in gun
nisacks and loaded on burro back. Good
roads lead to the salt lake from Las
Vegas, Santa Fe, Galisteo, Mcintosh,
Antelope Springs, Progreso, Albuquer-
que, Estancia and in fact from every
direction. One had best keep to the
roads, however, for fear of sinking into
| an alkali or salt bog, the bottom of a
| former lake. There is only one other
salt lake in this chain and that is small
Ter. The territory owns these alkali and
the smaller salt lake. The larger salt
lake had been granted by the state of
Texas, of which this section was then
a part, to a settler and the title was
patented by the United States later.
This title the Santa Fe Central Railway
has acquired. Whether it will build a
spur to the lake will depend much upon
the report that Professor Keyes will
make. There are a number of small
| fresh water lakes much farther to the
east, between the ends of the Pedernal
and Las Animas hills. They are
known as the Seven Lakes.
GRADING CAMP MOVING.
Grading camps No. and No. broke
up today, having completed the re-
naming unfinished grade on the Santa
Fe Central between Willard and Estan-
cia. 1t was a picturesque sight to see
Camp No. moving at snails pace into
Estancia where tents were pitched for
the night. The teams and wagons load
ed with camp paraphernalia, construc-
ton machinery and commissary sup
plies, stretched out mile or more. 1t is
quite a complicated matter to bring the
caravan to a halt, to unhitch and feed
Iuc IlOIScSs W pItCH tAC lcAtS, W pre-
pare the mess and to make arrange
ments for an early start, but the work
is done smoothly and expeditiously. A.
e. Dibert of Santa Fe, of the engineer
ing crops, went ahead to Moriarty to
make preparations for camp tomorrow.
From there the camp will grade the AL
buquerque Eastern to a point 1S miles
west of Moriarty. From this point the
force will grade into the Hagan coal
fields before tackling the Tijeras canon.
1t is a good natured corps of men in
this camp English and Spanish speak,
ing. The men earn from $3.50 upward a
day. The average cost of maintaining
camp of go men like this, is about 5000
day or almost $4,000 month.
Supper has been cleared away, there
is music and singing, talking and ex-
changing of condolences for some of
these men have romances worth telling
in their lives. One voice after another
drops off; there is silence in the tents
broken on the outside by the sound Of
the munching of the stock, the barking
of the coyotes circling around the camp,
the calling Of small owls gliding over
the plains. Above all sails the full
moon which has been waiting, 10. for
these many centuries for this advance
guard OF civilization.

YUlETlDE INCIDENT
Master Randall Presented With Sabre Car.
rled In Civil War BY Great Grandfather.

A most unique and interesting celebra-
tion Of the yuletide occurred yesterday
afternoon at the residence OF s. A. Ran
dali at 800 Public street, when Mr.. Ran
dall's -year-old son was presented
with sabre that was carried during the
Civil war by his great grandfather. Manly
j. Fuller, who was present and made the
presentation speech.
Mr.. Fuller gave up his farm In Smith
field in 1862, when the war governor call
ed for volunteers and enlisted In the Sew
enth squadron OF cavalry and was as
signed TO Company "A. Mr. Fuller's term
was OF only three months duration but
during that time he saw considerable SER
vice with the Army OF the Potomac. and
after returning home at the close of his
term Of service. with the odor of gun
powder still upon him. he re-enlisted In
the First Rhode Island cavalry. partici-
pating in the siege OF Richmond.
With the heavy sabre Mr.. Fuller pre-
sented his young relative with a spur,
torn from the boot OF a Confederate Of
hcer, and worn by Mr.. Fuller during his
second term Of service. The old gentle
man, In spite OF the 7S years that have
passed over his head, is wonderfully hale
and hearty. and the hand OF time has
rested lightly on his head. and no ore
present at yesterdays celebration en-
joyed the affair more than did he.
