Insurance Companies Add 25 Per Cent to Rates Now in
 Force in West.
WILL RECOUP THEIR
 SAN FRANCISCO LOSSES.
Higher Rate Means Payment of Thousands of Dollars Annu-
 ally in BiSbee for an lndefi-
 nite Length of Time.

To recoup the losses they have sus- tained in San Francisco as a result of the disastrous fire of April IS, the in- , surance companies doing business in i the Pacific Coast States and Terri. tories have announced an increase of 25 per cent on all insured property.
 A copy of a resolution to this effect, passed May 23 by the board of fire in- l'surance underwriters of the Pacific Coast, reached B. J.. O'Railly, one of the leading local insurance agents, yesterday, and was obtained from him.
 In explaining the working of the in- creased rate. O'Reilly gave it as his opinion that the change does not affect property now insured until the present policies expire. However, it does af- feet all new insurance policies written from this time forward. -.s
 Pacific insurance companies have all sustained immense losses in San Francisco, all of which it has been promised will be paid in due course of time. To make up part of the losses all Pacific Coast property, including that in Bisbee. comes within the scope of the resolution of May 9.
 Insurance rates in Bisbee now vary from l 4-10 to 15 per cent. On prop erty insured at the latter rate it means that instead of paying 15 per cent, owners will be obliged to pay IS 3-4 per cent on each and every $100.
 To Bisbee, in which the rates are about as high as in any part of the country, this means the payment each year to the insurance companies of thousands of dollars more than has been paid in the past.
 No intimation is made as to the length of time this increase will be in effect. may last for a considerable period. The complete resolution as received by O'Reilly reads as follows:
 Except as hereafter provided, the rates now applying within the juris- diction of this board. whether pub lished or tariff, are hereby increased 25 per cent.
 "The rates so increased shall be maintained until after the application of a schedule based upon percentages of insurance to value and increasing present charges for improper construc- tion, unprotected openings, hazardous occupancies, exposures and confiagra- ton hazard.
 Exceptions: The following classes of risks are not subject to above in crease: Risks protected by sprinkler equipments approved by this board, sawmills. not including lumber yards connected herewith. farm property, including growing grain, buildings and their contents occupied exclusively as dwellings, or their private barns, chutchss, school houses. and city, town or county public buildings"

the statement, l nave been told that

crushing plants have been establish
ed along the lines of these roads,
and it is the intention of h new
owners of these lines to rock ballast
the entire system. Already some of
this work has been started.
The Denver and Rio Grande Sys-
tenn has constructed about 30 miles
of new road during the past year.
This is a narrow-gage system. While
| have no authentic information, it is
currently reported mat within the
next few years this systems line in
New Mexico and southern Colorado
will be replaced by a standard-gauge

a. NEW BOTTOMLESS LAKE
NEAR LAKE ARTHUR.

A wonderful phenomenon has re-
Gently occurred in the n~eighborhood
of Lake Arthur that is attracting con-
siderable attention over the valley in
the shape of the sudden appearance
Of a bottomless lake on the land of
Mr.. Ditto, two miles west of the sta
ton at that place. At the time of
the big snow the land was perfectly
smooth and without a sign of water
in any sort of a body. Within the
past few days many people have motto
ed a small lake about three hundred
feet in circumference that has ap-
peared in a place hat was formerly
a fat. The lake is almost a perfect
circle and the water comes within
three feet of the level of the land.
This indicates that the crust of earth
thai caved in was about three feet
n thickness. A line has been lowered
100 feet in the water without striking
bottom, which leads to the theory
that the new lake is of a great depth,
some 500 or 900 feet, like those east

NEW MEXICO RAILROADS.
An Extract From Governor Haser-
mani Report to Secretary of
the Interior.

Railroad construction during the
past year has kept abreast with the
general progression of the Territory.
Several new lines have been projected
and actual construction work on
some of these has been started. It
is estimated that there are now fully
3,29S ITO miles of railway in New
Mexico.
The principal new railway construc
ton has been that on the Eastern
Railway of New Mexico, between Bel
en- and Texico. which, when complet-
ed, will form part of the t~ra1scontin-
entail line of the Atchison. Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway system. The
principal object of this road is to
avoid the heavy grades of the Santa
Fee system in northern New Mexico,
so that the transportation of thru
freight to the Pacific coast may be
cheapened. On June 80 there were
in operation on this new line 70
miles between Texico and ~Sunnyside,
and SIS miles between Belen a1d Will
lard. Some so miles more were almost
completed and it is expected to have
the entire road in operation in No
vember or December of this year.
This line will open to settlement a
vast area of land il Roosevelt, Tor
rance, and the Guadalupe counties,
which land has hitherto been co1si-
dered useful only for the grazing
of cattle and sheep. AS will more fully
appear in this report, already large
areas of this and have bee enter
ed for settlement by homesteaders.
Aside from the construction of this
new line, at a cost of approximately
$4,000, 900, the Santa Fe System mas
expended during the year on its road
in New Mexico a sum in excess of
$975,000. The major part of this
amount was spent for the renewal of
light pile bridges with heavy steel
and concrete structures and il the
ballasting of the track. In many parts
of the main line the rail mas been
replaced with heavier sections.
The ST. Louis, Rocky Mountain a1d
Pacific Railway is constructing a
line of road from Elizabethtown, in
in Union county, with a branch line
to Ration. This line will give the ricn
coal fields in Colfax county an out
