The road will run throu.h | the famous old mines in the mountain of Catorce, in the State of San Luis Potosi. | For several hundred years tiuese mines have been worked, and the result is a net- work of tunnels running in every direc- tion through the mountain, and on many different levels. The country on the sur- face is extremely rough, and somebody has conceived the idea of connecting these tunnels and running a railroad through the mountain, connecting the Mexican National Railroad at Catorce, on the west, with the Porvenir de Matuhuala Road at Cedral, on the east.

Is in Turn Riddled by Bullets From the Revolvers ¢f His Enemies. NEVADA CITY, CaL, Jan. 1.—Paul Muller of San Francisco was shot and killed at Gold Ridge mine in the northern part of this county on Thursday. The killing cceurred during a gun fight over the relocation oi the mine. During the fracas a miner named O'Connor was badly wounded. Particulars regarding the fight are meager. Gol!d Ridge 1s high up in the mountains, out of the line of travel. The messenger who brought the news knew only that Muller and O'Conner quarreled with Richard Phelan and a man named White over the rélocation of the “dig- giugs,” and the dispute lead toa deaaly combat, Phelan and 0'Connor, after a heated ar- gument, grappled. Muller drew a re- volver and fired at Phelan, but as the weapon was discharged thé struggling men swayed to one side and the bullet in- tended for Phelan struck O’Connor in the breast. Left single-handed to engage his two orponents, Muller was at once attacked by both. Before he could fire again he was brought down by a buliet from White's revolver. He arose and returned the fire, but a second shot pierced his throat and as he staggered back a third discharge from the weapons in the hands of his ene- mies inflicted two more body wounds. Muller lingered for several hours after the fight and expired at sundown Thursday evening. It has not been learned whether or not his slayers have been apprehended. 0’Cennor’s condition is- said to have been very precarious and he may have suc- cumbed hefore this. Coroner Hocking left for the scene of the affray this morning. Stanfords Clubs’ Novthern Towr, STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cav., Jan, 2.—A prominent member of the execu- tive committee of the student body has received several letters from F, W. Morri- son, who is managing the glee and man- dohn clubs on their nortbern trip. Man- ager Morrison found.it necessary to change the itinerary by dropping Vancouver and Victoria, B, C., on account of a change in the time schedule of the Northern Pacific Raiiroad. Three concerts were given in- ., Vancoaver, - The clubs en- ed something of a “frost” in Ta- coma on Christmas eve, but the concert in Seattle Christmas evening was a great success. The clubs had good houses in Astoria, Olympia and Vancouver. dmitas Mooy Improving Santa Cruz Roads. SANTA CRUZ, CaL, Jan. 2—When the intention of Williamson & Garrett to im- prove the coast road at Baldwins Hill be- came known twenty-four men, some of them having teams, offerea their services frec for two days each. The firm, however, offered to pay each man $1 a day as par- tial compensation. To this sum Super- visor Enright, in whose district the road is, agreed 10 add another §1 per day for each man. The volunteers will, there- fore, receive some return for their labor. They began work to-day. Much inter- est is being manifested in road-building, and citizens and officials alike desire that the roads be put into good condition at the least possible expense to the county. —_—— Work for Al in Santa Crue. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., Jan. 2—The Sal- vation Army seems to have rsettled the tramp question =0 far as Santa Cruz is concerned by the establishment of the Shelter. To-day several additional buck- saws are at work producing stovewood for the market and giving employment toas many worthy unfortunates. Genuine tramps seem to have lost interest in Sant a Cruz since the inauguration of long-term sentences by the Justice courts for va- grancy, for which there can now be no excuse. The Shelter is provided with beds and kitchen utensils, and several rooms in the building are comfortably arranged for the accommodation of the needy. —_— Livermore Asylum Patient Escapes.
