CAPITAN COAL AGAIN.
The New Manager Tells What He
Thinks Of the Output.
W. P. Thompson and wife accompan-
ied C. B. Eddy to Capltan in bia
- private cr this morning-. Mr. Thomp-
son is the new general manager of the
Capitan mines and hid coming has in
spired the owners of.tbe mines with the
greatest confidence in their properties.
"The Capltan mines were a revela-
tion to me.1' said Mr. Thompson this
morning. "I am of course 'familiar
with the mines all over the west and I
had rather Inferred from what I had
heard that these mines were inferior to
them. I knew the country down here
te be broken in its geological forma
tion and I thought necessarily that
troubles would be many in any coal
formation.
"As a matter of fact I have found
the coal vein in entry No. 4 to be
thicker than anvthine at Cerrillos for
instance much thicker and so far we
iave found no faults or troubles.
"Not as a prophesy but as a fact I
make the statement that we shall have
an output double the present ten -car-a
day capacity in six weeks."
E PLURIBUS UNUM.
Only One Car Of Oranges Out Of
Several Thousand Has Been
Transferred Here.
"Of all the cars of oranges we have
land led this season'" said Freight
Agent McCarthy of tbs G. H. "and
they number between one and two
thousand so far this is the first car in
which we have had to transfer the
fruit thi9 year." Men in the yards
were busy moving the luscious looking
boxes of oranges from one refrigerator
car to another. The car had evidently
been a bad one when the load was put
in and in additioo the top vents bad
been broken open when they should
have been closed.
The record is a wonderful one con-
sidering the great number of cars that
have been sent through 1 Paso this
season and speaks volumes for the care
exercised in putting through fruit in
transit.

bate to say it out loud but 1 have a
cinch."

car.

genheimer interests for their
Monterey smelter mentioned in the

cars came across the river. The ship-
ment includes fifty cars in all and
marks rather an unusual route for the
Guggenbeim people to adopt. Tbe ore
goes througb the United States in
bond.
Work Going Ahead On New Well.
"Though I have not heard from the
chemist of the companyat Los Angeles
who is analyzing the water from the
new well on the mesa" said Mr.W. R.
Martin today "we are still going ahead
on the other well because we are con-
fident that the water will prove to be
sufficiently free from solids for use
without being subjected to a chemical
process."
Mr. McNeal Is Away.
P. B. McNeal the best liked dis-
patcher the local G. H. office has had
in recent years is absent in Houston.
He is probably helping out on the new
agreement the boys are preparing. He
is one of the most trusted men in tbe
Atlantio system and his judgment is
relied on implicitly by officials and
men.
No New Station At Del Rio.
"The rumor that we are to have a
new station at Del Rio is without foun-
dation" said Superintendent Martin

some time yet.'J

train over the Southern railway
recently between Salisbury N. C and
Atlanta Ga. The distance between

average speed of 69.5 miles per hour.
Mexican Herald: G. F. Hawks
superintendent of the San Luis divi-
sion of the Central has tendered bis
resignation to take effect in Mareh.
It is rumored that Mr. Hawks has
been offered a responsible position on
one of the railroads in the state Tun-
ing into EI Paso Texas.
It bas been discovered that the sec-
retaries to tbe Nebraska railroad com-
mission did not notify the railroads of
the commission's order regarding the
resumption of "dollars per car" rate
on live etock until January 10 and tbe
suit against the Union Pacinc will
have to be nolle-prossed and new suit
entered.
All the roads east of Chicago have
agreed to sell tickets at reduced rates
for the following gatherings: Retail
lumber dealers Chicago Feb. 6th-
8th; Merchants' association spring
meeting New York city February and
March 1900; Daughters of American
Revolution congress Washington D.
C. Feb. 19th-24th.
Tbe grade has been completed for a
double track from Cross to Ponca City
on the Santa Fe in Oklahoma and it is
reoortdd semi-offlcially that the ties
and iron will be laid next week. This
traok is to permit the Hutchinson &
Southern division to run directly to the
Union depot without the necessity for
orders clearing the main line traok as
have heretofore been required.
A Drominent official of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad company in Philadel
phia- said that there was no truth in
the Chicago story that the railroads
had agreed to abandon their ticket
offices in the various large cities to
substitute joint offices in each city and
do awav with traveling and district
freight and passenger agents. It had
not been even entertained and was im
practicable.
Nearly 100 employes of the various
railroads in Pueblo have been laid off
during the past week and the indica-
tions are that more will follow. Not
over a month ago the rods could not
get men enough to handle their busi-
ness while it now seems as though they
could not thin out their foroas enough.
This change Is due to a heavy slump
in business which has been unprece-
dented In the last few weeks.
While the officials of
company are not willing
the Pullman
that a reduc-
tion in the salaries of conductors has
been ordered the employes affected by
the notice recently pointed out tnat
the changes made are in reality a cut.
They explained that the oonductors
emnloved bv the Wagner company at
the time of the consolidation will be
made to accept the lower salary rate of
the old Pullman company. The of-
ficials of the company however are
not inclined to regard as a reduction
this ohange to attaii a uniformity in
the wage scale.
Tbe present high price of iron ha9
its advantageous tide to the S. F. A. &
P. railroad. While the company is
compelled to pay an increased price
for all new goods in this line a large
pile of scrap iron which has accumu-
lated in and around tbe yards and
which heretofore would not pay tran-
sportation charges has become valu-
able. Assistant General Manager R.
E. Wells says the Journal-Miner has
just gotten together about seven car-
loads of this heretofore considered
worthless material which be will ship
to Chicago at a profit of nearly 2000.
Traffic managers of various indus-
trial concerns are in New York where
they will appear before the oSSoial
classification committee to protest
against tbe new classification of com
modities recently put in effect. The
objection is chiefly directed against
the new rates as applied to articles
shipped in less than carload lots.
General managers of a (number of
roads will also appear before the com
mittee to defend their position and
that of tbe railroads in increasing
rates. It will be shown that all ma-
terial used every day in the aoainten-
ance and equipment of railroads bas
increased in price from 30 to "5 per
cent. In view of this large increase
tbe railroads will plead justification
for raising tbeir transportation
rates.
A HEAVY SHIP3IENT
A
Carload Of Canned Oysters From
Mobile Ala. Tho Heaviest Ship-
ment Ever Made To El Paso.
A carload of canned oysters arrived
here yesterday containing 550 cases
and consigned to C. H. Lawrence the
grocer. The oysters are the "Little
Daisy" brand from Mobile Ala. and
are considered the best in the market.
This is a remarkably large shipment
for any one house to receive and it
tends to show that El Paso is fast be
coming a great market center as Mr.
Lawrence does most of his business
with our outside neighbors. In order
ing in big lots Mr. Lawrence shows his
business enterprise for he gets the
bottom figures in fact can buy cheaper
than the wholesale houses and by so
doing is enabled to give his customers
the advantage of the middle man's
profit.

sumed full charge of the above

duct tbe same on the American plui.

HAY PANCAKES.
A New Texas Industry Created By
the Transvaal War.
Texas Stock Farm and Irrigation:
Tbe baled hay that is now being ship
ped from this country for tbe British
in South Africa and tbe American
army in the Philippines is being corn-
Dressed bv the new process. The hay
is put up in bales cylindrical in form
about the sizs and shape of the old-
fashioned nail keg or eighteen inches
high and of the same diameter. When
baled in this shape the hay is as bard
as a board. Tbe bales weigh about
145 pounds. The hay is "band cut" in
pancake form.
The hay pancakes or layers which
make up tbe bale are about three-
fourths of an inch thick. The most
oompact bale of bay put up by the old
style requires about 160 cublo'feet of
spaoe per ton. This new-fangled hay
takea up only fifty cubic feet of spaoe
per ton.
