WILL EXTEND THE RAILROADS ID
 MINES
E. A. Mcfarland Tells the Globe People That This Will Bel Accomplished As Soon as Possible.

GLOBE, kriz., Jan 29.-The first definite news of railway extension to the mines of Globe district not al. ready accessible by rail was brought to Globe last evening by E. A. Mo Farland, chief engineer of the Harri- man lines in Arizona and Sonora. Mir. Mcfarland stated last evening to a Silver Belt representative that work will begin at once on the extension to the Mitchell smelter site, distance of three and one-half miles, and as soon as possible that extension will be continued to point near the Live Oak mine, giving the extension a length of between seven and eight miles. Mir. McFarland's business here is to start the construction work and also to look over the country in the Lower Pinto section with view of further construction Of the 'gten- sion as far as the Keystone r -Es. Fhis will be done very soon if, pon e''-mi- nation by the chief eng..eer, prac- tieable route can be otabiie ed.
 Regarding the wor. of .econstruc- ton on the main line, Mcfarland stated that 1t was progressing as quickly as possible. but owing to a scarcity of laborers, headway on the work was not as fast as 1t might be. Work will be soon started on the ac- l tual construction of the new steel bridge over the Gila al San Carlos and MT. Mcfarland states that he ex- poets to see 1t in use before the sum mer flood season begins.
 The nergies of the company, accord. 1 ing to MT. Mcfarland, are being large ly directed toward the construction work in the state of Sonora, which consists of two extensions of the Can anea, Yaqui River and Pacific rail- road. .r "The road up the Yaqui river val 1 ley" said Mir. Mcfarland, lis so far completed that traffic is in progress for a distance of one hundred miles, the terminus of the part completed being at Buena Vista. Un the, Guada- 1 lajara extension, which branches of | below Guaymas, trains are running as far as Guadalupe. We are consider ably hampered by lack of laborers on the construction, as it seems almost impossible to secsre enough men among the Mexicans and Indians to do the work We have been com | pelled to send to China for coolies and shipment of 1,200 of these la borers is due at the port of Guaymas on February 10."
 Mir Mcfarland came to Globe al- most directly from the Yaqui country, where most of his time is spent, as he is in charge of all the work of the big system in that county, <5 well as in Arizona, He states that the Yaqu1 Indians are still a menace to the country, which will always be in jeopardy of attacks py hostile red skins until the civiliZing effects Of the railroad will begin to be felt. The railroad, according to MT. Mcfarland. is the real and only solution to the | Yaqui problem.
 f. The chief engineer was at Lencho the little station on the c. Y R. and F., day before it was raided early last month, and he returned soon af- ter.
 Press reports of the depreciation, !" said Nr. Mcfarland, were highly colored. There were no Americans killed, but ten Mexicans were slain by the outlaws.
 The number of the Yaquis was al so exaggerated. as instead of 150 of them there were only about sixty in the party. The object of the raid was robbery, promarily, and the redskins got away with plenty of ammunition, a great store of canned goods and sey- enty gallons of mescal There must have been something doing when they got well into this supply of firewater.
 There were only supposed to have been about thirty Indians on the war path in that section, but it is sup posed that they were joined by band of about the same number who have been employed at the coal mines near San Marcial. The Mexican consul at Tucson received official word Thurs day that twenty Indians had been cap tured by the Mexican troops under General Torres. near San Marcial, which has been a veritabIe hotbed of lhostihty"
