The Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix
railroad, which has been placed al
most entirely under the management
of Mr. Murphy, is one of the best
feeders of the Santa Fe as it taps
the richest mining districts Of Arr

Of it losing the individuality with

through some extensions the Santa

least, may soon become an import
ant link in the Santa Fe's new trunk
line. The building of the Belen cut
Of in New Mexico and the Bengal cut
OF in Arizona, both of which are now
in progress, may have much TO do in
altering the present traus-COuJinental
system OF the santa Fe.
Mr.. Murphy says that work on the
Bengal cuJ-on Is dragging some now
on account of the hot weather, but
that the work will begin in earnest
just as soon as the cool weather sets
in. The new road in Arizona in
cluies about 25O miles of track alto
geIher. OF this, siNty-fye miles have
been laid east of Phoenix and fifty
miles has been laid west but the link
from Phoenix 10 Bengal cannot be
completed within a year. Mr. Murphy

use the same track between Deming
