GASOLINE MOTORS ON
S. P. BRANCH LINES
Road Finds They Can Be Oper-
ated With Success and
Try Them,

The Southern Pacific railroad is
planning to place a number of gaso-
line motors on the branch lines of the
Pacifis system for the running of local
trains and to increase the number OF
trains between points where the bust
ness does not warrant steam service.
The Imperial valley branch of the S.
P. will be one of the first branches 70
receive the new style of motive power
and all of the beach lines and
branches in California will later re-
ceive the motor cars for pulling light
freight and passenger trains.
The greatest objection to this class
of power is that it could not be start
ed from dead stop without loss of
considerable time, but the new style
cars are said to overcome this difficult
ty and can be stopped and started as
easily as the steam engines. 1t has
been the dream Of railroad operating
officials to provide a gasoline engine
that would replace the steam loco
motive on the branch lines which
were not long enough or the business
sufficiently heavy to make the use of
steam power profitable. The motors
that have been adopted for the I'm
perial valley branch are said to over
come the previous objections to this
class Of power and should they prove
successful the Southern Pacific will
put a number of item on the main
line out of Los Angeles for trains to
run between the regular schedules.
/ These gasoline propelled trains will
run as locals and will give the resi-
dents of the small towns a double
train service without a heavy In
crease in the operating expenses.
The G. H. and S. A. and Union Pa
cific have each tried the gasoline mo
ter cars on their lines and the G. H.
is now using them between Houston
and Sylvan Grove. a. distance of TWEEN
ty-one miles, and the new motors have

OIL WAR COMING.

CHIHUAHUA, Mex, Feb. 20.-Ac-
cording to Mexico City reports an oil
war is imminent between the Waters
Perez Oil company on the one side
and the English firm of Pearson and
Sons on the other.
The contest will come on illuminat-
ing oil, and Pearsons so far have
near Coatzacoalcas, the only proven
field in Mexico for that class OF oil.
They are building a refinery at Man
ititlan, and as soon as it is in opera
ton the war between the wo compaa-
les is due to begin.
AS to how soon the Pearsons can
supply the demand the public is not
informed, but they will have the sym
pathy of all Mexico, for the Waters
Pierce is the most grinding monopoly
in the republic They will also have
the advantage of the high protective
tariff existing sand the moral support
of the Mexican government, with
whom they are in partnership in the
Thehauntepec National railroad.
The situation is just this: If the
Pearsons can make good on supplying
quantity and quality, the Waters
Pierce and Standard Oil cannot stand
the pressure in Mexico without get
ting hold of territory that will produce
illuminating oil. Outside of what the
Pearsons have, that in eastern Chi
huahua is the only one known as yet,
and it has only two wells, and the
yielding capacity of those is unknown
to the public.
The third well is being drilled now.
The possible oil area is very extern
sive, however, and it is entirely with
in the range of possibility that this
new field in Chihuahua viii be the
key to the situation. 1t is an open Sc
cret that the Waters-Pierce company
is repairing its fences all along the
line, preparing for whatever may
come In the shape of fight.
As to fuel oil, this concern is in
with Doheny's Mexican Petroleum
company, limited, capitalization $780,
600 900 gold, and which owns the
Tampico fields.

AJO DISTRICT TO
HAVE RAILWAY

TUCSON, Feb. 20.--A railroad fifty
miles long connecting the Ajo mining
district with the main line of the
Southern Pacific at Theba, ten miles
west of ella Bend, will be con-
structed.
The line viii be built by Jones and
Mehaa. Boston contractors, who con
structed the Boston subway costing
millions. Michael Mehan, one of the
members of the firm was here yes
terday and left last evening for Los
Angeles.
The road will cost about $40o, 900.
Il is the intention for the present
to build only TO Ajo. Later 1t is ex-
pected the line viii be continued TO
Gunsite and Growler and eventually
possibly through the Northwestern
Sonora copper districts to the Bay
of San Jorge.
To make the preliminary railway
surveys for the Ajo Valley Railway
company, a corporation that is made
up Of Boston capitalists, +. A. Bord-
well with corps of assistants VIII
leave tails evening Tor ella Bend. he
will make the surveys between The
ba, a Southern Pacific station, and
the region where the Ajo mines are
located.
Articles of incorporation for the
Ajo Valley Railway company have
been prepared and will be filed in
the recorders Office likely late today
or tomorrow.
This company was organized by
Jones' and Mehan, the big Boston con-
tractors who will construct the rail
road. It viii have a capital stock
Of S3,O00,000
They were interested in the pro-
ject by the Renden Reduction COM
pany, also a Boston corporation,
which acquired the old Ajo mines
about year ago.
It was learned that this company
has guaranteed the railroad company
freight daily after the road is con
structed to the amount of $500, which
will total annually 100000
b addition the Corneiia Copper
company, which owns extensive prop
critics in the district, will be a big
contributor to the railroad in the
freight line when il is finished There
are number of small companies OPP
Grating in the section which would
also become ore shippers.
Michael Mehan of the constituting
firm OF James and Mehan returned
to Tucson yesterday from a trip to
the Ajo country. He was accompa-
MED by E. G. Humphrey, district
freight and passenger agent Of the
Southern Pacific, who made a trip to
Bisbee daily review., 1908-02-21

the Ajo country on Saturday. Mr..
Menand left last evening for Los
Angeles, after completing the details
for incorporating the Ajo Valley Rail
way company and arranging for the
surveys for the road.
The Ajo district was the first min
ing country worked to any extent in
Arizona. Its ores were discovered
many years ago. n the early days II
was worked almost solely for silver
and gold and no attention was paid
to the copper ores. The silver and
gold ore found was shipped TO the
old San Francisco smelter and thence
to Swasea. Woles, for refining.
Even at the present day the lack
Of transportation facilities thar are
WITHIN reasonable cost has been big
factor In retarding the development
OF the properties there on an extern
siye scale.
Many experts have visited the re-
gion and have reported that copper
in great quantities is to be found
there. They have reported that the
surface snowings are the most re-
markabIe ever seen and have founS
from the numerous prospect holes in
those mountains that the hills are ar
most solid copper ore and II has
been proven with the sinking OF
shafts that the values continue.
Prof. w. P. Blake, the veteran min
ing man of this section, made an eN-
tensive report on Ajo some years ago
which caused the district TO again
come to public notice and resulted In
a revival of operations there.
II was learned that negotiations
ara now pending between the new
company and the Southern Pacific
company for ties and rails, 1t Is
quite probable that an arrangement
will be made by which the railroad
company will purchase these supplies
from the Southern Pacific as tne
Twin Buttes railroad did.
The grading of the road bed ana
the laying of the ties and track VIII
be done by the Ajo railroad people.
The grading Of the road VIII not
entail a heavy cost it is stated. as
the route follows the Aio valley from
the Southern Pacific to the mining
district and is practically level.
According to report the Rendell
Reduction company expects to erect
a concentration on its property for the
handling Of the low grade ores, but
The higher grade ores will be shipped

The cars are torpedo shaped and ac7

Union Pacific uses its motors for car
rying mail and passengers in Kansas

ESCAPES FROM HOSPITAL;
WANDERS FOR WEEKS

The mysterious disappearance OF
John Mccullough, an old Alaskan
miner who was taken to the county
hospital August 10 and disappeared
from there almost Immediately. was
partially solved last Tuesday when the
old man returned to the home of his
daughter at S32 Omar street.
When he appeared his hair and beard
were unshaven but in other respects
he seemed well cared for. He could
give no intelligent account Of what
had happened to him in the six weeks
following the time he was placed In
the institution by his daughter.
Mccullough has suffered from loco
motor ataxia and as he gradually grew
worse his daughter, Mrs. Frank Gum
Their, decided to place him in the coun-
ty hospital for time. He was re-
moved to that institution August i3
and admitted to ward IL. 1t Is thought
that in some way or other he escaped
the vigilance of the attendants and
wandered away. At any rate, when
Mrs. Gunther visited the hospital two
days later Mccullough was not there.
Gunther, who is city fireman, then
went through the wards with the ex-
ception of the insane ward. and found
no trace of him. The relatives of the
man organized a search for him in the
country districts and had about given
up when he returned home of his own
accord.

While Walton was listening to the
testimony against him in Judge Bord-
wells court J. B. Jardine, jr, of San
Francisco, one Of the owners of the
Machinery and Equipment company,
was in the district attorneys office to
secure a complaint against Dean
charging him with the embezzlement
of $3S13 on or about August 20 while
acting as agent for the company. A
warrant was issued for his arrest.
Dean, it is understood, maintains he
has partnership interest in the COM
pany and was not an agent. Walton
also claims that 1t was for Deans
benefit that he forged the check for
$25 in June for which he was arrested.
The money, he said, was used to take
Dean to Searchlight on mining prop
osition. ~ was promised one-half the
proceeds of the transaction" said Wal
ton, "and was called to Searchlight
by Dean, who told me he had closed the
deal for $4,000, receiving checks in pay
ment. He asked me to remain in
Searchlight until he went to San Fran
cisco to cash the checks, but had to
walk out of town. When I met him in
Los Angeles he said the checks had
proved to be without value, and / got
nothing"
Dean is said to have secured lease
on the Red River mine at Acton, the
property of former Governor Gage, in
October last. but abandoned the work
in q short time, leaving, it is claimed,
q large number of unpaid bills.

GREAT THRONG HEARS

The Wiley B. Allen Music company
opened its handsome talking machine

no formal announcement Of this had
been made in the papers the crowd In

sary to call the police 70 clear the side

A large, clear and fun toned machine
had been placed close TO the entrance
and its melodious tones could be heard
some distance down the street.
AS piece after piece was changed

ular establishment closed its doors at
10 p. m.

ton. Arrangements are also being
made to install gas engines/for the
course in gas engineering.
Among the new features in evening
classes will be courses in blueprint
reading, machine design and machine
shop mathematics. The business mems
law school to be opened November
is established in response to calls
from business men of Los Angeles who
desire a more extended course in law
than that formerly offered in the COM
mercial law course. Lectures will be
given three evenings a week on the
subjects usually included In the first
year course Of standard law colleges.
A course in pharmacy for drug clerks
for the state board examina-
tions already has several applicants.
More than seventy-five different
classes will be conducted in the day
and evening schools. and a faculty OF
nearly forty instructors has been en-
gagged. Several OF these are we'll
known instructors In the local high
schools and colleges. and others are
prominent business and professional
men. The young men of Southern
California will not be required to
pass any entrance examinations, and
1t is improbable to suppose that any
but the actually lazy win balk ct this
most liberal opportunity for an edu-
cation.

FORMER DETECTIVE ACCUSED
OF VIOLATING SENTENCE
Defendant Declares Enemies Hoped
70 Brighten Him Out of Town, and
Promises to Make interest,"
ing Disclosures

Eugene P. Walton, former detective,
Is again in the county jail, charged
with violating the provisions of his
probationary sentence of ten days ago,
when he pleaded guilty to a. charge of
forging a check for $25. He promises
when his case is called Thursday next
to tell some facts that will create con-
sternation in the hearts of his alleged
enemies.
Walton says 1t was through fear that
he might tell what he knew that pub
licity was given to the issuance of a
bench warrant for his arrest Friday
by Judge Bordwell his enemies, he de-
clares. believing he would leave the
city when the news that he was want
ed reached his ears. He claims all his
troubles are due to an evil genius in
the person of A. H. Dean, at one time
associated with him in the detective
business.
When Walton appeared before Judge
BordWell yesterday he found the chief
witness against him to be Attorney e.
l.. Hutchinson, who says Walton broke
his parole by stealing a typewriter
from the attorneys office in the Doug
las building.
walton came to me after he was
placed on probation" said the attorney.
HE said he wanted to do a little traf-
ticking with the Jardines, who own the
Machinery Equipment company and

Walton says Hutchinson has been act
