DURANCO.CLIFT0N ROAD.
Believes That It Will Be Built
Soon.

10 E. Sheridan of Silver City, United
States coal mine inspector for New
Mexico. spent yesterday in Santa Fe.
He is on his way to the San Juan Coun-
ty coal districts.
Mr.. Sheridan is very optimistic in
regard to the future of San Juan Coun-
ty. He states that there are extensive
coal beds in the county which are be-
ing worked now to limited degree
and these will pay we'll as soon as the
projected railroad from Durango to
Clifton, Arizona, goes through. About
Pennington and Fruitland there are
beds of especially fine grades of semi
anthracite and camel Goals A large
coal seam 25 miles northwest of Farm
ington has just been opened, he states
which promises to be an important
coal producer After inspecting the
coal fields in that county. Mr. Sheridan
will go to Gallup to inspect the coal
mines there.
Mr.. Sheridan dwelt especially upon
the railroad which is to be built from
Durango, Colorado, through western
New Mexico south and what it would
mean not only to San Juan County
but to all that part of the Territory.
He believes. on what he considers
good authority, that the railroad will
be built within twelve months.

FORGED CHECKS
AND LEFT TOWN
A Smooth Stranger Goes Away With
Over Forty Dollars Belonging to
Albuquerque Merchants.

Albuquerque was the victim OF
smooth confidence man on Tuesday
night and is some poorer for the exper-
ience. A very ingratiating stranger
who signed his name. Frank Hamilton,
to many checks for five and ten dol
lars drawn against the Albuquerque
National Bank, got away with over $4o
from the too confiding people and
made his escape, apparently beyond
recapture. although an officer of the
Albuquerque police force has been de-
tailed on the case 1t is supposed that
Hamilton has gone to Las Vegas and
people In all the northern towns of
New Mexico are warned against this
smooth stranger. M. Mandells cloth
ing store, Sol Benjamin & Company,
the Matthews Cafe and the Golden
Rule dry goods store are a few of the
sufferers from Hamilton's visit.

RUSSIAN CAVALRY
AGAIN DEFEATED
General kuropatkin Admits That
The Japanese Are the Finest
Strategists and Among the Best
Fiuhters in the World.

Toxic, June 3--A body of japanese
cavalry encountered and defeated a
mixed force of Russian cavalry, infan-
try and artillery near Lichaton on last
Monday The engagement lasted two
hours, the Russian troops finally being
driven northward. The Japanese had
26 men killed, including one officer
and 81 wounded, including four effi-
GERS. The movement of the Russian
troops southward indicates possi-
bic effort to relieve Port Arthur. The
Russian losses are unknown.
General kuropatkin Calls Japanese
Greatest Strategsts in the World.
New Chwang, June 3-Every effort
on the part of the Russians to COM
municate with the southern part of
Lao Tung peninsula resulted in fail
ure. The Japanese are in control of all
avenues of communication and allow
no messages to pass. With the eXcep-
ton of the authorities, the Russians
are daily growing more depressed at
the outlook. An officer of high rank,
who has arrived here from Mukden.
spoke as follows concerning General
"He is awakening to the fact that
he Japanese are worthy of praise. He
declares that their recent operations
prove them to be among the greatest
strategists in the world. and to this
must be added great daring, capacity
or work and ability to stand punish

4 new C0MmUNITy DITCH.
in Southern Rio Arriba and North
ern Santa Fe Counties.

A number of citizens and land own
ers residing in the Rio Grande Valley
north of Santa Cruz in this county and
for fifteen miles north in Rio Arrba
County have joined in the construction
of a community irrigation ditch, which
when finished will prove of great bene
fit and use to that section. Among
those concerned in the project are
former Surveyor General Edward F.
Hobart of the Round Mountain Ranch
in this county; H. l.. Conger, the mill
er at Santa Cruz. Jose Amado Lucero
of Espanola, Justo Lopez and many
Others About so men and teams are
employed in the construction of this
ditch, which will be fifteen miles long,
ten feet wide and about four feet deep.
There is strong flow of water in the
Rio Grande at the point where the
that river and where the head gates
will be put. For mile from the river.
the work is very heavy as the cut will
have to be made deep and wide.
Ut utdu SdlcS are lOCdlcu dDOut
five miles north of the town of Plaza
del Alcalde on the east bank of the
river and the ditch will run from
there to point just above Santa Cruz
and will there connect with existing
bitches which have for 200 years fur
nished irrigation water for the people
of that locality The main object of
the parties who are carrying out this
plan is to supply water to the several
bitches now existing along that vicini-
ty at such times as at the present
when the season is dry and when
drouth prevails, as in ordinary seasons
the bitches now in existence with their
water supply will do the work cut out
for them. This year. for instance, the
water supply of the Santa Cruz is en-
tirely inadequate for the necessities of
the farmers and fruit growers in the
Santa Cruz Valley. The water to be
obtained from the new ditch will rene
dy this bad state of affairs and provide
an ample amount for the bitches as
the Rio Grande in that section in the
driest season runs a good flow of water.
This community ditch when completed
will prove of great utility.

FIRE IN
ARIZONA MINE
Hosting Plant of the blackberry
in Big Bug District Des.
troyed by the Flames.
THREE MEN KILLED
Rescuers Are Driven Back by Deadly
fumes...A Fatal Plunge Of Two
Hundred Feet.

Prescott, Arizona. June "a fire in
the blackberry mine, Big Bug District,
has destroyed the hoisting plant and
resulted in the probable death of three
miners. The hoist house was located
directly over the shaft and when the
fire occurred the men were at work in
the mine and were completely shut off
by the fire. Help was summoned from
McCabe and Mayer and the fire extin-
guished. One man in an effort to go
down the shaft fell 200 feet, and is sup
posed to be dead. AS no communica-
tion could be had with the two min
ers in the mine it is supposed that
they are also dead. The rescuers are
unable to go into the mine on account
of the deadly fumes.

The SOUTHWESTERN
Baseball LEaGUE
To be Organized BY Teams From San-
ia Fe, Ration, Las Vegas, Albu-
querque, Silver City, and
Ell Paso.

G.. 0. Francisco. of Omaha who ar
rived in the city yesterday. is trying
to arouse interest among Santa Fe
baseball enthusiasts in Southwestern
Baseball League for New Mexico The
matter has been taken up with inter-
est by Santa Fe business men and it
is probable that within month time.
Santa Fe's team will be one of the six
which are to form the league.
The Southwestern League will con-
sist of the Ration nine, the Las Vegas
nine, the Santa Fe team and the teams
from Albuquerque, Silver City and Ell
PasO.
81 have all papers, contracts and ev
erything necessary to make the
Southwestern League part Of the
National League" stated Mr.. Francis
co this morning. "The New Mexico
Fair Association of Albuquerque is
backing the projected league and has
agreed to give liberal cash prizes,
have asked the Fair Association for
$4,000 of which they agreed to give
81 500, and | hope to get $4,000 from
them in the end. This will be divided
among the teams"
1t is Mr.. Franciscos idea that ar
should be made whereby
the business men of Santa Fe who are
in baseball, should guaran-
tee the Santa Fe team so much
month, to be raised by subscription.
Last night, before an assemblage of
the business men of the city Mr.. Fran
cisco brOached his scheme of consoli-
1ating the leading baseball teams of
New Mexico into Southwestern
League. The plan was received fav-
orably and will probably be acted upon
shortly.
If the cities to be in the proposed
league endorse the plan, Mr.. Francisco
expects that the league will be fully or
ganized and ready to play BALI in
less than a month from now. He pre-
1icts that the Santa Fe nine will
i've up to it's old record of being able
20 beat any nine in the Territory, and
win fresh laurels during the coming
season
