Julius Kruttschnitt returned to this
city yesterday, after few days abb
sence, during which he had been max
ing a tour of inspection of the Ran
dolph lines in general and in partieu-
lar the Cananea, Yaqui River and Pa
cific, having gone down below San
Bias for 104 kilometers to the end of
the line as far as it has been con-
.sCructed He was accompanied from
this city on this part of the trip by
r. G. Mcclure, engineer of mainte-
nance of way, and Superintendent 0s-
ter.
On arriving in the Old Pueblo yes
terday he at once went into confer
ence with Colonel Epes Randolph and
the two were together practically
throughout the day. The nature OF
their conference was not disclosed.
Mr. Kruttschnitt, accompanied by Col
onel Randolph, win leave here today
for the east and will make a tour of
inspection of the Hartman lines in
the state of Texas.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt stated that there
is very little TO say of interest to the
people of this city, further than he
gave out in an interview 10 the Star
a few days ago, when he arrived here
from the Imperial valley. However,
he said that he was thoroughly de
! lighted with the work which is being
done below San Bias on the extensions
of the Yaqui river railroad and that
ii is the intention of the company to
push it to a completion as rapidly as
may be.
So far as the local shops are con
| cerned. Mr.. Kruttschnitt said that
their running capacity would definite
/ ly settle the size of the force CT ope-
ratives carried and that so long as
/ The business justified it, there nos
only would not be any reduction in
| the number of men employed but that
| the policy of the company would be
| to, as far as consistent with business
acumen, to increase them.
! Later in the evening Mr.. Krutt-
I schnitt was seen in his car while he
was enjoying a brief interval of rest
| in reading the late papers and maya
zines Asked how he liked the trip
| into Sonora and Sinaloa, he said he
was delighted with what he saw at
| the front, where very extensive work
had been accomplished in the build
ing of the extension south of Quay
mas.
He had learned that colonel Kan
dolph was bringing in the steel for
the largest bridge on the line north
of Culiacan, and that he was endeav,
oring to complete the bridge before
reaching the river crossing with rails.
| He added that II was Colonel Ran
dolph's expectation to reach Culiacan,
1896 miles south of Guaymas, by July
i T. The country to be covered was not
| difficult to work over.
+ At Lordsburg, Mrs. Kfuttschnitt
will join her hubsand after a visit
of q week with her son in Morenci
where the young man has been en-
| gagged in civil engineering.
| Il feel" said Mr.. Kruttschnitt, that
l have become more interested in Ari'
IONA since my son has applied him
self to a profession and is deyoting
his energies in this territory. 1t is
fifteen years since / made the trip to
! Morenci, at which time we Travelled
up Chase creek from Clifton on the
baby gauge railway to the Longfellow
incline of 1000 feet length. We went
up this incline and through tunnel
into Morenci. 1t is different now, the
trip being made by the 1S-mile loop
line from Guthrie to Morenci."
