MEANS BUILDING OF NEW
1AfIH(JAl1 Is ASSURED

The above dispatch from the Morn
ing Journals special correspondent in
Boston. corroborates the positive
statement made by Mr. Richmond and
Mr. Lybrand of indianapolis, when
they arrived here short time ago
after a careful inspection of the New
Mexico Central system and the pro-
posed extensions to this city and to the
Hagan coal mines. Mr.. Richmond said
that he and his associates had posi-
lively decided to build the line, the
only doubt being about the route to
be followed by the albuquerque
branch in entering this city. The Bos-
ton dispatch shows clearly that the
Tijeras canyon route viii be followed,
giving quick connection between this
city and the great and fertile Estan-
cia valley
There can be no doubt that the
much desired new railroad into this
city is much nearer being completed
than at any time since the extension
to Albuquerque was first decided upon.
Mr.. Richmonds visit to Albuquerque
demonstrated to him plainly that this
city is the keynote of the whole sys-
TEN and that the building of the Albu-
querque branch is the most imp 1rtant
piece of work on the whole entc rise.

TRICK MULE TAKES FALL
OUT OF NEWSPAPER MAN
MIR. Bryan's Mascot Proves Himself
Able Acrobat

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 10
The advent today of the trick mule
which was presented to w. J, Bryan
by the Minnesota state Agricultural
society was made memorable by an in
cdent which occurred during the af-
ternoon in which the mule and an
eastern newspaper correspondent were
the central figures. When announce
ment was first made of the fact that
the animal had been presented the
particular correspondent served no
tiee that he would be the first to ride
him. The opportunity came today
with the result that the correspondent
is nursing a sore head and a badly
bruised leg, caused by being hurled
into the air by the mule. which had
heen trained to permit no one to ride
him. Mr.. Bryan witnessed the pro-
eeedlngs and exhibited a good deal OF
solieltude for the injured newspaper
writer. The mule was taken back To
the stable and there is every likelihood
that he will not be permitted to dis
play any more of his talents.
The day was otherwise without in
cldent When Mr.. Bryan starts on his
ten days trip tomorrow night he will
have completed nearly all the sci
speeches he will make during thai
time. He practically denied himself
to visitors, desiring to utilize every
available moment in his work.

parture Of two regiments of infantry
today and the announcement that two

sent to the state. county and city Of

of the military regime
The authorities efforts to quiet this
feeling were only partially successful

was no sleep before dawn. Scores Of
the terror stricken blacks sought
refuge In the arsenal Early In the
evening almost twice as many appli-
cations for shelter had been received
as on previous nights and about 800
negroes were curlcd up In the corners
OF the balcony sleeping on the floor or
curled up In chairs.
Adiutant General Scott insists that
there Is no good ground for the fears
OF the negroes. He said
"There are plenty Of troops here
tonight and the force that will be
available tomorrow will be 1900 men
who can certainly protect the city
against any mob that may form. Then

soldiers was Irritating In some sections
OF the community and there was an
element Of trouble there that could
not be overlooked"
This opinion was endorsed In other
quarters. II was pointed out that the

MT. Glissan was employed as su- perintendent of the mines on the 1st of September, 1907, and he has worked from eight to fifteen men since that date, and in referring to the twenty foot shaft mentioned in Mir. Narbeth's report, 1 wish to state that Mir. Glissan first sunk two shafts on the Red Hill, both being about twenty feet in depth. This was done in order to locate the gold ledge, and to see if the val ues continued with depth. Having proven this fact, he located tun- nel site, which when in about $50 feet will cut this rich gold ledge directly under the two shafts re- ferred to, and at depth of about 800 feet. This tunnel is now in 2S0 feet, and has cross cut two very rich veins, and is now in heavy white iron. which carries gold values. A shaft has been started on the On-Time vein, double compartment shaft, which is now twenty feet deep, and will cross cut the vein at depth of about 100 feet. In fact, the vein at the present time carries gold and silver values.
 For the benefit of the stockhold- CTS who may see the above l wish to say that the work is progressing in satisfactory manner, and good results may be looked for at any time. $. +. JOHNSON.
