That coal exists on the w. c. Greene ranch in the Fronteras dis. trict of Sonora, has been determined beyond doubt. Greene's prospectors are now in the field going over the ground. The character of the de- posit is said to be similar to that al- ready found in the beer Creek dis trict and in the vicinity of Morenci. It is some harder than bituminous. while not quite of the hardness of an. thrscite. Thus, it would seem that if the deposit is of any material extent, the product will be of the variety fer domestic use.

Especial Dispatch to the Morning Journal !

Especial Dispatch to the Morning journal I
Santa Fe, N. M, Aug. 24,-That the
construction of a Santa Fe Central ex-
tension from Torrance to Roswell will
be seriously considered by eastern
capitalists was learned from members
of General Torrance's party who left
today for the east, via the Santa Fe
Central and the Rock Island Gen
efal Torrance is expected to return in
thirty days from Pennsylvania chap
eroning a party of investors, including
some members of the present party.
They will carefully inspect the pro-
posed route of the Roswell extension
and the proposition will be gone into
In all its details.
Neither General Torrance nor mem
bers of his party Would make any pos
tive statements while here as to their
plans, except to say that the pros
poets are good for the building of the
Albuquerqu Eastern and the line to
the Hagan coal mines.
Some members of the group of
capitalists who were here some years
ago We're amazed at the development
of the Estaneia valley since their for
mer visit The sight of hundreds of
small farms, the beautiful plateau
studded with windmills and barns and
farm houses has done more than any
thing else to awaken the enthusiasm
of the easterners. A blind man could
see the immense possibilities of this
fertile country and the -Pennsylvanians
are by no means blind.

Especial Dispatch to the Morning journal. I
Trinidad, Col. Aug. 24.-tt is a sad,
sad tale, but it has to be told. Albu-
querque has been walloped.
The Browns have gone up against
It. The Browns. however. showed
Trinidad that there are few
ball players down In New Mex
leo who know a few just a few
of the fine points of the game.
Trinidad confidently expected to
shut cut the Browns-to whltewash
them, skunk them. chase them to the
tall trees. Trinidad had a run for
her money which was real base ball
and the Browns are not feeling at all
blue over the result of the game. II
was s to 2 for Trinidad. Technically,
this constitutes a licking. There Is
no getting around this painful fact.
But 1t was a good game and a fast
one, and the Browns showed up we'll.
Tomorrow they are confident there
will be a different tale to tell.
The start was a punk one. The
Browns apparently weren't used 10
the altitude and Trinidad scored two
In the first inning on poor ball play
Ing. Trinidad scored three more In
the fourth and three In the sixth.
Gorham made the first run for the
Browns on a terrific drive over left
field fence, In the fifth. Rathburn got
In the second run In the sixth on
a three-bagger and a single by Shay.
Trinidad earned but two of her runs
and secured the second by getting
first on balls combined with poor
playing. The game was witnessed by
a fair crowd. Tomorrow the biggest
crowd OF the season Is expected TO
turn ont to see the second game.
The umpire was very fair and i'm
partial and the Browns are ex-
tremely well pleased with the splen-
did treatment accorded them.
Tomorrow GalganO takes the field
against Metz. Galgano means busl-
ness tomorrow and If he gets thor
oughly warmed up there will be a
different account Of the game tomOr-
row. The Browns have on their fight
Ing clothes and their war paint and
are going into win the second or bust.

he expressed were entirely his own,
and inr no sense should be considered
as being inspired by the president.
After attacking the provisions of
the constitution, he denounced the hy

clared. proposed to prevent the ex-

lem squarely every city in the United
States should revise its building laws
in such manner that either owner
or contractor of a concrete building
shall be compelled to employ COM

Great loss of life and property,
through collapses of concrete build
ings iaithe last year or two, inspired
the government TO make an investiga-
