s. P. NO W SURVEYING
rHos. H. WleeLEsWoRTH. CHIEF ENGINEER, WENT TO NAco-
 ZARl TODAY.

The Southern Pacific railroad is continuing the work of surveying the route between Nacozari and Mocte- yuma. Four surveying parties are now at work for the Southern Pacific between these points. Two are sur veying both ways between Nacozari and Cumpas and the other two are meeting each other between Cumpas and Moctezuma This line has been rushed through with unusual dispatch on account of the contest over the route between the Southern Pacific and the Pheips-Dodge road.
 Thos. H. Wiggiesworth, the chief engineer of the Southern Pacific So- nora surveys, arrived in Douglas last night and went on the train today to Nacozari. He was seen at the Queen hotel this morning, when he stated that it was expected that the lines be- tween Nacozari and Cumpas would be connected up in few days, certainly during the present week. Mir. Wig glesworth stated that he was not in- formed as to the meaning of this ac- tivity in surveying by the Southern Pacific in Sonora. After the prelim- mary surveys were complete the com pany would be in position then to decide definitely on what construc- ton work was to be done.
 Mir. Wigglesworth stated that the
 route below NacoZari, down the can yon. was not a difficult one and that a one percent grade was easily found. He also stated that the Southern Pa cific would have no trouble in find ing a favorable route between Naco- zari and Douglas should such line | become desirable.
 Mir. Wigglesworth has been with l the Southern Pacific for two years and previous to that time he had been 1 with the Colorado railroads since | 1879. During the past two years he has been in charge of the surveys on the Arizona X Colorado line proposed l to be built by the Southern Pacific from Durango to Clifton, Arizona, and | then to a connection with the Globe railroad about Solomonyille. It was l Mir Wigglesworth and Denver parties | who originally proposed road south 1 from Colorado to Arizona: prelimin.
 ary surveys were made to Clifton from Durango and it was the intention to | continue this line from Clifton to | Solemonyille and thence down the | Sulphur Springs valley to Sonora to i the Mexican coast. This company af' ] ter getting their surveys completed
 found that other railroads had block
 ed the enterprise by preventing the sale of bonds for the money necessary ! to construct the line. even to Cliff
 ton. The Southern Pacific is now
 following practically this same line
 with the Colorado line, though the original promoters of it had no inter l est in it.
 When asked if it was his intention i to survey a line from Nacozari tC
 Douglas Mir. Wigglesworth stated that
 in regard to that he had received nc | instructions.

Washington. April 19, 6 D. m.-The fire marshal of San Francisco advises that more than two1thirds of the aerea of the city of San Francisco has been destroyed, and there is no possibility of saving the balance of the city.
 All efforts to check the flames at Van Ness avenue by blowing up a lHile of buildings on the east side of Van Ness avenue have proved fruit less. The fire has spread across the broad thoroughfare, and from pres ent indications the entire western ad- Gition which contains the homes of people of the wealthy class, is now doomed. The destruction of the west ern addition of the city practically completes the work of the ravaging flames and marks the devastation of the entire city.

The latest reports from San Fran cisco Friday afternoon indicated that the flames were under control. and that the fire-fghters hoped to save the remainder of the city. According to conservative estimates now, be. tween one-half and two-thirds of the city has been destroyed. The prop. erty loss is more than a hundred mil lion dollars, while there is yet no way of accurately estimating the ac- tual loss of life. Three hundred thousand people are homeless. Relief trains are reaching them. The fed eral government has donated mil lion dollars and supplied them with tents, and every section of the country is assisting in the relief measures.
 The fire. while still burning, is be- lieved to be under control now. and hopes are entertained that no further great loss will result.
