G. f. Mcdonnell has made new
map which is of the greatest inter

that ii shows the various routes OF

not only their routes. hut also the 10

pass and the copper regions TO which
the road will haul f,cl as far south as

and so on. The map shows the rela.
tive positions, from the view OF sup
ply points, OF our coal fields and those
at Trinidad. The Denver Il Rio Grsnje
and the Arizona Colorado roads
go to Pennington while the Arizona a.
Colorado and the Phelps Dodge roads
run along the La Plata river to the

Pennington the Arizona g. Colorado

on the map, goes south from Farm.

| The Phelps-Dodge road is traced from
Pennington as far south as Grant, n
| NJ, on the Santa re Pacific, where II
stops. The road will go further, but

Than Grant. A study of the map is a
| revelation to one unfamiliar with the
railroad facilities, the territory to be
traversed and the resources Of that
territory and the great field Of coal
consumption and the source Of sup.
ply. It shows that this section has
by far the best Of any other coal sup

ANOTHER OVERSIGHT OF OLD
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

Another serious oversight OF the
old board Of county commissioners
was discovered yesterday, when in
terest coupons on school warrants of
district No. 1, (Animas city, were
presented at the county treasurer's
was informed that no levy for their
payment had been made by the com
missioners.
DR. Folsom, a member of the school
board of Animas City, was seen in re
gard to the matter this morning and
he said he noticed at the time The
Herald printed the different leyies,
back in November. that the levy for
paying interest on these bonds was
omitted He at once called the atten
tion of Chairman Schroeder of the com
that Mr.. Schroeder told him he thought
the levy had been made and thought
the fact II was not printed along with
the other levies was merely an over
sight. At any rate he promised, ac-
cording to DR. Folsom. to look the
matter up and If IL had been overlook
ed. to have 1t attended to. DR.. Folsom
supposed 1t was all right, until yes
teriay when the coupons swere pres
ented for payment and refused DR.
Folsom rang up Mr.. Schroders mum
Der at Bayfield, to ask him about it
but Mr.. Schroeder had left yesterda,
on trip TO Old Mexico. and is mo-
expected back for month at tbs
earliest. Mr.. Folsom could not sa,
what action would be taken to compe
the payment of the interest. but from
the precedent set in the recent case
whore the appropriation for all coun
| ty expenses for the ensuing year fail
| ed to appear on record and the new
| commissioners were compelled b,
| mandamus TO make the necessar,
| Appropriation. 1t is probable tnat simi
lar action will be taken in this matter
| The bonds amount to $4,000 and draw
interest at The rate OF per cent.

Santa Fe with supplies. Mr.. LaCombe
heard OF the death of Mitchell few
days after he left the Pond ranch
