GREAT CHRIsTMAs GIFT.

It has been figured out by an east ern paper that the biggest Christmas gift on record was that which the rail roads of the country have just made to their employees. It is estimated that the increases granted in the last year alone foot up over S60, 1000. GOO a year. The Albuquerque Journal Democrat says:
 This is a tremendous sum. It is equal to the total revenue of the gov ernment at the breaking out of the civil war. It means increased com forts for the tOilers, increased profits for retail dealers and more work for the manufacturers. That sum will turn over many times during the com ing year and will bring joy to many.

 If advices from the canyon country are correct the Santa Fe has lost some rather valuable privileges in connec- tion with the tourist business, in a little contest with Mir. R. H. Cameron before the interior department. For est Supervisor Breen of the Grand Canyon Forest reserve last week nOti- fled Mir. Cameron that his application for the exclusive use of the Bright Angel Trail. with all toll privileges, had been granted by the secretary of the interior. This trail is at the rim of the Grand anyOn where the Santa Fe's Williams branch ends at the door of the new Bright Angel hotel It is the easiest of all the canyon trails. to descend and is the one usu- ally used by tourists. The concession was granted Mir. Cameron because of his having located and filed on the land embracing the trail before the Grand Canyon Forest reserve was set aside, and having complied with the Arizona laws covering such location, he now gets the right to its exclusive use. The Santa Fe made a strenuous effort before the department to have the claims of MT. Cameron set aside, but without avail It is said that the new owner of Bright Angel Trail will at once put up toll gates, buildings and stable to accommodate tourists who desire to ride down into the can yon.

4. G. WELLS, NEW CAR.

Saturday morning there was an at mOsphere of intense excitement in the Santa Fe paint shop and if anyone had happened to ask one of the work men what it was all about he would have been answered as follows: ''No. 223 is going out this afternoon and we've got to hustle in order to put the finishing touches On." No. 223 is a very fine special car that has been in the Santa Fe shops for A.G. Wells, general manager of the Santa Fe coast lines. Work on the car was started in the coach shop about five months ago. About a month ago. the men in the coach shop turned it over to the paint shop force and they have been work ing on it ever since. The car cer- tainly does credit to the men in both shops. In fact, it might be said that the Pullman company could not have turned out a better car. No. 223 is entirely new, with the exception of the framework. which was taken from an old dining car, No. 140S.-Topeka State Journal.

HAVE A BONANZA
A Rival for the Gro Grande Loom ing up in a NeighbOring
 Property.
Fine Showing Being Made in Orc Grande Exploration and 0evel-
 veIOpment Co. s Mines.

l Indications are that the famous Gro Grande mine will soon have a rival
 in neighboring property to it owned
 by the Gro Grande Exploration and Development company. The com pany owns eleven claims and has a splendid showing on each. Within month they have sunk 130 feet. and have obtained better results than ex- pected. The Phenix Gazette of recent date has the following mention of the property.
 If indications are of any value, the Gro Grande Exploration and Develop Jack Pot and Royal Flush claims. near the Gro Grande. The showings are improving with every foot of work done and at fifteen feet the shaft be- ing sunk on the Royal Flush is all in ore, and how much wider the ore body is will not be known until cross cuts are run, which will probably be done at the fifty or one hundred foot level. A trench run across the ledge on the spot where the shaft is now be- ing sunk showed seventeen feet of ledge matter composed of quartz DOT phyry heavily impregnated with fer ruginOus oxides and hOneycombed with crystals similar to the famous Gro Grande ore. The Jack Pot and Royal Flush claims run lengthwise of true Assure vein which cuts every formation for 5000 feet, the length of two claims. The ledge crops plainly for the entire distance, but has never been developed heretofore on account of its appearance on the surface, prob ably caused by the action of acidu- lated waters and the elements.
 The work now being done proves this barren portion to be but a cap ping and at the present depth both the ore and the gangue accompany the foot wall horn we'll, some corose colors and much fine gold being visi- ble in the pannings.
 In addition to the Royal Flush and Jack Pot, the company owns six other claims, covering two parallel lodges and number of cross leads, showing the same character of croppings, to- gether with iron stained quartz. A number of ten foot holes are now be- ing sunk on the different showings and they will be prospected thor oughly while the main shaft is being sunk. Work on the 100-foot contract is being vigorously pushed and an other large contract will be let upon its completion. The Gro Grande EX ploratiOn and Development company is the first to thoroughly prospect the ground in the neighbOrhOod of the Gro Grande, and the astonishing re- suits which they aremaking is leading the claim owners in that vicinity to start development and prospecting work on similar showings. On all sides of the Gro Grande at almost any time of day can be heard the blasting on claims which the different owners expect to uncover fortunes.
 William Glore, a local freighter, reports having found some free gold in the ore on the dump at the Royal Flush claim while out there with load of supplies Friday.
