TUESDAY P-D Co. Purchases Railroad, Says Rumor

It is currently rumored around San
 Diego th.t the Phelps- Dodge interests have purchased the San Diego and Arizona railroad now building from San Diego to Seeley and plane for the exteDsion of the road from Yuma to Tucson were discussed recently at San Francisco. The officials of the road held 6 conference with the state railroad commissioners, 1t is exrect- ed that the bond issue will be increased from $l0,0O0 .Oo0 to $25 ,OOO. 900 for the continuation of the road as far ss Yuma. Attorney Harry Titus filed supplemental petition with the commission Friday to that fleet.
 The rumors go further and state that ths road will go directly from Yuma to the Ajo mine, thence straight east to Silver B,p, or in that locality, and on to Tucson. 1hese rumors bear oot the s'atement that the Tuceon. Phoenix < TideWster road, as made sy James Dooelss, is an Independent line snd not an ex- tension of the E P & s W, which line will undoubtedly go to the coast as indicated sbo'e. There is. however, no doubt but what "Jimm;e" Douglas will be able to mske agreeable traffic arrangements with the E P 4 s W to hspdle all the esst bound traffic b;s Phoenix line will bring into Tucson and by the way that will be no small amount either.
