WORK ON GALISTEO
BRIDGE PROGRESSING
Structure Will be Completed by First
of March-Arch Now Under
Way.

The arch part of the reinforced con-
crete bridge being built across the
river on Galisteo street will be finish
ed by the end of the present week, ac-
cording to statement made yester-
day by Joseph P. Bracket, secretary
Of the Walter Sharpe Bridge Company
who has personal charge of the con-
struction work. Mr.. Bracket is conf
dent that the entire bridge will be
completed by the first of March as
formerly announced if the weather
continues favorable during the inter
yening time
A force of about a dozen men is now
employed on the new bridge and it is
rapidly assuming shape. A concrete
mixing machine, operated by a steam
engine, has been stationed at the
north approach to the structure and it
keeps several of the workmen busy
with wheelbarrows feeding it and
dumping the green concrete.
I'VE will have the bridge done by
the end Of the month all right with
the exception of the wing walls" Mr..
Brackett said. 1--WE might be able to
finish the wing walls too by that time
if the county commissioners make up
their minds just what kind they want.
The wing wall part of the contract is
still in abeyance."

ANALYZE AND
TEST GOALS
Found in Various Fields in New Mex
ico-SampIes to be Sent to st.
Louis for that Purpose.

Governor Hagerman has for some
time been in correspondence with the
Interior Department relative to the
testing of the various coal products
of this Territory The Sundry Civil
Act, approved June 80, 1906, apprOprl
ates $250,00 for the analyzing and
testing of Goals and other mineral sub
stances belonging to the United
States, in order to determine their
fuel value such analysis to be conduc-
ted under the supervision Of the Dir
ector of the Geological Survey, who
is authorized to have the necessary
materials collected from any part of
the United States where they repre-
sent extensive deposits. The Dlrec-
tor has, under authority of Congress,
organized an extensive laboratory and
fuel testing station at ST. Louis, and
as Congress has prescribed that ne
shall examine without charge the
fuels required for use by the Govern
metn of the United States, the offer
has been made to analyze the Goals
purchased for the use Of the Territory
of New Mexico under the same provis-
ion
The Governor on behalf of the Ter
rtory Immediately accepted this Of
fer, and took the matter up with the
United States Mine Inspector for
New Mexico and he has recently
been informed that the Director of
the Geological Survey will arrange at
an early date 10 have one of its ex-
perts visit New Mexico and cooperate
with the Territorial authorities in col
lecting samples of COAL that these
samples will be sent to the Govern
ment Fuel Testing Plant at st, Louis,
where they will be promptly analyzed
and tested and the results reported.
Since coal constitutes one Of the
chief resources of New Mexico, its
fields embracing an area of over one
million acres, the importance of
reliable test and analysis of these
vast deposits cannot be overestimated.
Nothing should be left undone to-
ward establishing the genuine char
acter and fuel value of New Mexico
coal, and every effort possible should
be made by the Territorial authorities
and the mine operators Of New Mexi-
co to facilitate the work of the govern.
ment expert upon his arrival here by
samples of coal from var
ious deposits and any information he
may call for
While New Mexico produced nearly
100000 tons of coal last year, and
the quantity available is more than
s OOO,OOO,00O tons, the United States
Mime Inspector states that the undis-
turbed coal fields IN This Territory are
the largest in the United States,

yersation with Thaw during the first

ance advocates, one thousand strong,
marched through the streets of the
national capital today in support of a
bill introduced by Representative

FIRE ALMOST
WIPES OUT CITY
Disastrous Conflag-
ration Visits Pine
Bluff Ark.
HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS
Three Hotels, Scores of Res
licences and Church Des.
troyed--- Two Lives Lost.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Feb. 14.-As re.
suit of disastrous conhagration
which started shortly after midnight,
large portion of this city is today a
smouldering ruins and nearly one
thousand people are homeless, includ-
ing one hundred and fifty families,
everyone of whom lost practically
everything, being forced to fee from
the flames in nothing bpt their night
clothes.
Loss Estimated at 100000.
Ninety cottages and residences,
three hotels, the Carr Memorial
Church, the handsomest edifice in the
city, and fully two hundred barns and
outhouses were burned to the ground,
entailing loss conservatively esti-
mated at 100000.
Flames Famed by High Wind.
The fire started in cheap lodging
house and the structure which was a
ramshackle frame building was almost
a total mass of flames before the
alarm was given. A strong wind was
blowing and in short time the fire
had gotten beyond the control of the
local fire department and the flames
spread to the adjoining buildings and
invaded the residence district.
Burning Embers Started Many Fires.
Burning embers forced skyward by
the terrific heat were carried dis
tances of block by the wind and
these set fire to many residences. So
numerous did these fires become that
it was but a short time until confa-
grafton was raging and an appeal for
aid was sent to Little Rock, which
city sent fire apparatus and firemen
to this city on special train, which
arrived within two hours after the
fire started These did valuable work
and probably saved the city from total
destruction.
Only Two Lives Lost.
So far as could be learned today but
two lives were lost. Notwithstanding
many rumors that large number per.
ished. The names of these two vic.
time had been ascertained today
Pine Bluff Beautiful City.
Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 14.-Pine
Bluff, which was almost wiped out by
a disastrous conflagration last night,
is situated about thirty-six miles
southeast of this city and is town
Of 10000 inhabitants. it is located
at the head of low water navigation
on the Arkansas River and is in the
heart of an extensive cotton raising
and manufacturing section Reports
which reached here today are to the
effect that while the disaster will be
a severe blow to the town, yet it has
much wealth and its people are amply
able to take care of the sufferers from
the fire. No appeal for aid outside of
help from the fire departments of this
city was asked by the stricken town.

CAPTAIN FIRST
TO LEAVE SHIP
Sensation Develops
Result of Marine
Horror
CREW MONOPOL|zED BOATS
Is Charge Made By Survivor
,of Larchmont Disaster
40 Bodies Recovered.

Providence r. T., Feb. 14.-A new
element was injected into the horrors
attending the sinking of the steamer
Larchmont in Block Island Sound
Monday night, when Captain McVey.
of the Inflated steamer early today
admitted that his life-boat was one of
the first. if not the first, to leave the
sinking ship.
Captain First to Leave Ship.
This statement was made in reply
to charges made by Fred Hirgsell, one
of the survivors. who claimed that the
passengers were left to shift for them
selves; that the ships crew crowded
the life-boats without attempting TO
provide for the passengers and that
Captain McVey was the first to desert
the ship.
Accused Denies Charge.
McVey explained that while his
boat may have been the first one in
the water, 1t was because he had a
good crew and that he remained by
his shin until she went down. he
said that he made no move to get into
his boat until he had given orders to
his men to lower all the life-boats and
to clear away the RATS.
Had to Cut Loose From Ship.
While his boat was in the water 1t
was fastened to the ship by a rope
and when its running-gear became
fouled the captain said this was cut
by the boatswain who saw that as the
ship settled, the life-boat would be
drawn down with it,
Told Passengers to Jump.
The captain claimed he called upon
the passengers to jump into his boat
which would hold twenty-five, but that
in the darkness and confusion no one
needed his summons. Then, according
to his statement, his boat was driven
from the ship by the wind.

ber of known dead stood at 1888, of
whom Il bodies had been recovered
