Railroad IT.,
 From Chihuahua
DOUGLAS IS CONFIDENT OF GET
 TING THE MURPHY LINE.
Read Now Ends in Chihuahua, and People There Are as Anxious for It's Extension as Are These of Shelter City.
(Speclai to Review.)


 Douglas, Sept. 5.-Tnat Douglas is to have the Murphy road before long is evident from what is going on at the other end of the line. This railroad will end in Chihuahua, and the people of that state are looking forward to its completion with as much anticipation as are the people of Douglas. When completed it will give them a direct connection with Southern Arizona, which will be as much benefit to them as it will be to Douglas. The Chihua- hua Enterprise. which is keeping a close watch or all the movements of this company, says in its last issue.
 ". s. Mason, of New York. vice president of the Development compa- ny of America, of which concern Frank Murphy, the great railroad builder of Arizona, is the president, and H. L. GaTretson, were guests of the Palace Hotel last Wednesday, Mir Garret- son is the man ir charge of the i'm mense timber tracts in the Sierra Mad res and beyond tue Hearst ranch be. longing to the company.
 These men were here on some min or matters of routine business. Vice President MasoE had expected to make a thorough inspection of the route. He hopes to De able to return next month with President Murphy.
 MT. Murphy is coming to make an investigation of the company's tim Der tract with a view to it's utiliZa- tion. The plan is to build railroad to it from Douglas. Arizona, a pTelim- mary reconnaissance of which has been made and road was found to be feasible.
 The reason given for Murphy's let ting the vast timber tract lie idle when the timber is so much needed in the mines of Southern Arizona, is that lie and his companies nave been too much occupied with other vast inter ests, such as railroad building in Ari- zona, vast mining interests there, such as the Congress and Tombstone mines, vast redwood interests in California, etc. There is reason to believe that Mir. Murphy's visit means that he Is TO wready to do something with this timber tract and inaugurate the great railroad enterprise that means so much to Chihuahua. Ii the Murphy road is built t is strongly probable that it will connect, somewhere out in the Sierra MaGre mountains. with the Chihuahua and Pacific. which is now building to- ward Temosachic. thus giving this city direct rail connection with southern Arizona at Douglas"

NO FENCE LAW.
Will Go Into Effec, in Douglas Mon
 day Next
Especial to ReYiew.l


 Douglas, Sept. 3.-What is known as the mo fence" law will be in effect after the fifth day of this month. The board of supervisors declared that the Douglas precinct should be a mo fence" district at its session in July, but before the law could be enforced it was necessary that notice to all con- cerned be given term of thirty days. The time required for this notice will expire Saturday.
 The mo fence" law provides that it shall be unlawful for live stock of any description to run at large in the dis trict and that no fence shall be re- quired and that any damage done by stock to trees or other growth on any premises may be collected from the owner of the stock.
 The constable of the precinct is the officer to enforce the mo fence" law. He is made the poundmaster and it is his duty to impound all stock found running at large. This will be done, beginning next Monday. The peti- tion asking that a mo fence" district be declared here was for the purpose of protecting the young trees and | shrubbery in this city from depredat- ing stock which has become a great nuisance. l. was not the intention that the law should be enforced outside of Douglas and it will not be, but Constable Durnal says the law will be enforced to the letter within the bounds of the city.
 The constable will be allowed 75 cents as fees for taking up each ani- nal and placing it in pound and he will be allowed 35 cents per day for l keeping the stock until it is sold or redemmed by the owner. When the stock is impounded the law makes it i the duty of the constable to post a notice giving its description and the date when it will be sold under the provisions of the mo fence" law.

FEW 1904 DOLLARS EXIST
Genuine Coin Is Rare, But Many Coun-
terfeits Are In Circulation
One Brings 200.

OF the silver dollars OF 1904, one OF
which recently sold for nearly $1,000,
the mint records show that only 1850
were ever coined. and Of these nearly the
entire lot was shipped to one OF the Bar
barry states. The ship foundered and
they we're lost. Very few genuine coins
OF that year exist. The director of the
mint relates that Senator Cockrell sent
him several years ago what purported
to be one OF these dollars for an exam
inatio as to It's genuineness. When sub
jected to heat the "a" dropped on. show
ing that the last figure on an ordinary
coin had been removed and this substi-
tuted, but so cleverly that nothing less
than fierce heat would reveal the de-
ception. Counterfeiters are believed to
be plentiful.
