Tunnel TO Ne1U Jersey Boon TO
Real Estate and Com
nnercinI Interests

THE discovery of New Jersey will
Il date from the completion of the
tunnel for vehicles under the Hudson
River from New York City to Jersey
City. Agitated for years, the project
is now certain of being carried
through, and without delay. The New
York State Legislature will be asked
this week to pass bill appropriating
$1,000, 600 to start the work, the entire
cost to New York being $4,000, 900.
Three years at the very longest is the
time estimated by Genera, Goethals
for the completion of the interstate
subsurface highway which is expected
to be of great value to both states.
To New Jersey it will mean more
than any project that has been
launched since the completion of the
railroad tubes of the Manhattan and
Hudson Company, or the McAdoo sys-
tenn, as they are commonly called, or
the tubes of the Pennsylvania Rail
road. Being public and for the gen
eral use Of the public, while the other
tubes are privately owned and for spe-
clal uses, it is a question if the pro
posed tunnels will not mean more to
New Jersey, and to New York also.
than do the Pennsylvania Railroad
tunnels or the McAdoo tubes.
The commercial development of New
Jersey for miles around the portals of
the tubes at Provost and Twelfth
streets will be large. The benefits of
the under-river highway will be recor-
nlzed by the rising value of CONNER
cal property as far west as Newark
and particularly in the Newark Mead
ows, which are rapidly becoming one
OF the great manufacturing centres of
the Eastern States.
benehts will not be as marked in New
YORK as in New Jersey. The congestion
on the river and along Manhattan's
waterfront will be relieved and the
complaint of the international shinping
interests that limited wharfage and
river traffic make this port undesirable
Wlll be removed and the attempt to win
the big ships for Southern ports, such
as Newport News, Charleston and Sa
vannah will be defeated
Great volumes of the water-borne
freight will be carried through the tun-
mel, and the space along the Manhattan
waterfront required for the landing of
lighters, car floats and other harbor
freight carriers will be set aside for
the use of the big shipping interests.
1t is the belief that the tunnels will
solve the great problem of storage
which confronts every merchant in this
city. Because of the congestion on the
water and at the piers on both sides of
the river, merchants are now compelled
to keep large supplies Of storage in this
city so that they may have goods when
they want them. This has proved cost
ly, and the high price of storage has to
be placed on the selling price of goods.
1t is believed that the great vacant
areas IN New Jersey will be improved
with storage plants and factories. The
benefits to New jersey will reach we'll
beyond the waterfront The tunnels.

Uncle Sam is almost certain to

GUARDS FOIL BANDITS
IN EFFORT At STAGE
ROBBERY --ONE KILLED
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

DOUGLAS, Dec. 1.-Two parties of
federal troops were reported tonight
in Aqua Prieta to be in pursuit of four
masked bandits who this morning at
tempted to hold up the stage bound for
Ell Tigre mine, with $15,0 900 in American
gold and currency, One of three
mounted guards riding ahead of the
stage, a private in the Mexican fed
eral army, was killed and another Cap
tain Pedro Garcia, was shot in the
hand.
The stage with three other federal
soldiers in it, was a considerable dis
tance in the rear, concealed from the
view of the bandits by a turn in the
road. The unwounded guard fighting
from behind his horse held the four
masked men at bay while Captain
Garcia rode back to get assistance. As
the three soldiers left the stage, ard
came forward on the run, the bandits
fled over the hills in northerly di-
rection
Parties have been started nut from
Aqua Prieta to intercept the men
should they make for the border. The
body of the dead soldier was taken to
Esqueda and Captain Garcia was
brought to Aqua Prieta to have his
wound treated. The payroll money
was sent from Esqueda to FL Tigre
later in the day.
1t is not known whether the robbers
were Mexicans or Americans, although
it is rumored that they were Ameri-
cans. Only a month ago a deserter
from the American forces stationed or
the border, in company with a hall
breed Mexican robbed the warehouse
of Ell Tigre mine at Esqueda. Tney
were apprehended after few hours
and last week were tried and SEN
fenced The American was sentenced
to serve II years in prison and the
half breed seven years, according tc

COPPER MINE TO CLOSE

SANTA RITA, n. NJ, Dec. 4.-The
Chino Copper company announced to-

at the end of about II days on account
of being unable to get sufficient coal
Four thousand men will be thrown out
of employment. The company bought
coal mine at Gallup about two years
ago so as to furnish it, as was then
believed, with an uninterrupted supply
of coal. But it cannot get coal, even
from its own mine, on account of the
output being taken by the railroads
and mines being classed on the pri-
ority list as non essential industries
