MUCH ACTIVITY AT PoRvENIR

There is considerable activity In
the neighborhood of Ell Porvenir late
iy. due to the fact that Don Marga-
rito Romero has large forces of men
cutting timber and doing development
work on his mine. Two saw mills are
in operation and ninety men are en-
gagged in preparing for shipment a
large number of ties which Mr.. Ro-
nero has contracted to furnish to the
Santa Fe railway. The work on the
tunnel to intercept the shaft OF the
Ell Porvenir mine has reached 8
length of S5 feet. Good ore has been
encountered in the tunnel. The main
body will be reached when the shaft
is intercepted. Mr.. Romero is taking
a considerable quantity of coal out OF
his coal mine and is using it at the
copper mine. The coal vein, which
was eight inches wide when work
was begun, has widened to thirty-two
inches and indications are that a
much larger vein will be encountered

terest is the trial of Elbert Harmon
for murder. Harmon is accused OF
killing Tomas Salazar. The murder
resulted from a shooting affray in
which several men participated.
Springer was the scene of the trag-
edy Salazar had killed a brother of
Harmon short time previously and
this had caused the existence of a
feud between the two men. Harmon
was shot during the fight, one bullet
striking him in the mouth and other
breaking his arm. Harmon is
brother of Augustine Harmon, who
was sent to the penitentiary last
year from Las Vegas for the killing
of Ricardo Lobato, deputy sheriff.
His first trial resulted in a hung jury.
Since then he has been at liberty on
SIC, 900 bond.
On the criminal docket of the court
are two other murder cases, several
robberies and a number of cases of
horse and cattle stealing. The grand
and petit juries have been ordered to

LAS VEGAS WEST TERMINAL
WOULD NEcEssITATE BIGGER
ROUND HOUSE AND YARD
FACILITIES HERE

Rumors of the early construction
of the Santa Fe's Colmor4Dodge City
cutoff, which have been persistent
for several months, have been given
added strength by dispatches from
Topeka to the effect that the road
has purchased 100000 acres of land
in Haskell, Grant and Morton coun-
ties in Kansas. The purchase was
made through State Senator Stewar.
of Wichita, who is said to represent
the Santa Fe. The land lies along
the right-of-way On which the cutoff
is to be built.
The survey for the Dodge City-Col-
NOR cutoff was begun early last fall
and was completed several months
ago. Since that time the road has been
reported as negotiating for the pur.
chase of right-of-way. This is fol-
lowed up by the reported purchase
of a large acreage in Kansas.
The construction of the cutoff will
enable the Santa Fe to run its
through trains over a route much
shorter than the present main line
It will eliminate heavy grades and
will be invaluable for the use of fast
trains hauling perishable freight. The
cutoff will necessitate the establish
ment of large roundhouse facilities on
the main line where it is intersected
by the cutoff. This again brings to
light the report that the Santa Fe
is to build an immense roundhouse In
Las Vegas, plans for which have al
ready been approved it is said. CO.
NOR is a small station few miles
south Of Springer. Las Vegas is the
logical point for the handling of the
terminal business.
