NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

SlVeTtOOn standard.
John Stradinger and friend started
out last Saturday morning with a
horse and buggy from the Melton liv.
cry and feed stable to inspect mining
properties on Animas river several
miles above the Silver Wing mill The
trip up was made entirely without in
cident. but on the return a long pack
train of mules passed them a short
distance above Condits. when the
horse took fright and SHE'D OF the
road. The lunge sideways was made
so abruptly that neither occupant OF
the buggy could escape the perillous
plunge over a steep precipice.
All went tumbling down the en-
bankment and when once lodged an
inventory revealed the fact that the
buggy had been reduced to splinters
the horse entirely detached though
completely entwined with harness,
and the two man badly cut and bruis-
ed about the body.
The horse succeeded in getting back
on the road and continued his mad
race to point near the Silver Wing
mill where he was checked by X. c,
Barton who happened to be ont in
that district on horseback. and turned
over to parties headed for Silverton.
The two injured men were brought to
this city where necessary surgical at
tention was given and they are now
getting along nicely The buggy is
reported almost valueless.

DURANGO TO GET ROADS.
Two New Railroads will Build
Through Town.

Denver Post.
Durango has two new railroads In
sight--one said to be an outright Har
riman project and the other being
promotedby Colorado and Utah men
who are supposed to be backed by
Gould. Both are to go south from Du-
range. the former drifting to the
southeast to Albuquerque and the lat.
ter debouching to the west passing
mas, Mexico.
The latter project was outlined in
The Post few days ago. The line
is to run from Salt Lake through the
Moab and Paradox valleys. From Du-
range 1t taps the rich agricultural
country around Pennington. N. NJ,
the great coal and coke fields at Tho.
reau and vast timber lands in Arizona
The enterprise contemplates an ex-
penditure of $l5.000,0OO.
Engineers In Field.
Since last spring engineers have
been in the field surveying u line
southeast from Durango. and there
has been much speculation regarding
the interests behind the enterprise.
1t is now stated on what is believed
to be excellent authority that 1t is
a Hartman project and that its pur-
pose is to open up the coal fields of
La Plata county for use by the South
ern Pacific system. which has no coal
on its line between California and
New Orleans. II depends largely up
on California crude petroleum for fuel
All long haul railroads own or con-
troll coal properties II possible, and
the Southern Pacific has long felt the
need of its own fuel supply. La Plata
county, Colo. offers the nearest de-
posts to its line
The Denver a. Rio Grande is the
only railroad now reaching to the San
Juan country and 1t crosses extensive
coal mines in La Plata county. The
Hartman project, therefore, is an in.
vasion of Gould territory.
II is understood that the new line
will go to Pennington, San Juan coun.
ty, New Mexico, and then southeast
to Albuquerque. where 1t will meet
the main line of the Santa Fe system.
This Is as far as the present plans
for the road have been outlined. AS
the Hartman and Santa Fe interests
are in strong combine the latter road
will give the cars OF the Hartman
trackage over It's line to Deming.
where connections with the Southern
Pacific will be made.
Most Extensive Coal Fields.
The La Plata coal fields are the
most extensive anywhere within reach
of the Southern Pacific from Ell Paso
to California, San Juan county. New
Mexico, is also rich coal region, al
though it's resources are practically
undeveloped owing to Its distance
from n railroad and the impossibility
of marketing such a product. What
few beds have been developed In that
