The surveyors for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Railroad have pressed work beyond Cimarron, New Mexico, and expect to extend their surveys as far as Tucson, Arizona, during the present winter. The building of the road, however, will depend largely upon the corporation’s ability in obtaining a land (or other) subsidy from Congress.

Among the secondary precious stones that have been found in Arizona are black and green tourmalines, peridots, beautiful garnets of every tint, bloodstone, jaspers and agate of every character, while fire and white opals are found in certain localities. Zircona, in crystals, very minute, of the cube form, and in masses, has been discovered. Sufficient vein matter has not been found to determine any rich deposit of fine crystals.
