h the meantime, Col. Hammond
 had become the General Superin,en
 dent of the Union Pacific Railroad
 running from Omaha to Ogden, where 1 it connects with the Central Pacific
 Railroad The Central Pacific road
 was owned by four or five millionaires
 who built it, one of whom was it's Gen.
 eral Superintendent. However good a
 business man be was. he knew but lit
 tle about railroading
 But where could they find a General Superintendent who had the ability
 and would dare to reorganize the road and put the affairs upon better basis : They consulted Col. Hammond and
 other railroad men, and the result was that, most unexpectedly, our whilom modest and hard.working conductor one day received a telegram asking him if he would undertake the duties of General Superintendent of the Cen tral Pacific Railroad at e salary of $10,000. He was satisfied with and appreciated by the Chicago, Burling- tan & Quincy, who proposed to in crease his pay 10 $7,C00, and as he pre- ferred to remain in Chicago, he de- clined the princely offer made by the California road. Then another tele- gram asked at what salary he would become chief of the Central Pacific Almost hoping to discourage his temp ters he telegraphed, "s13,000 year ID gold" At once came the answer, " Accepted" So, taken in his own trap, he had nothing to dc but to bid adieu to the city that had served him so well, and turn his face toward the land of gold
 This was nine years ago. He is still General Superintendent of the Central Pacific Railroad, one of the most i'm portent railroads in the world. With its connections in California, this quiet man, not yet 48 years old, now super intends 2,734 miles of railroad, and over connecting steamers, besides die tating the tariffs of the China, the. Australian and the Panama lines of steamships While other young men, prefering present ease and comfort toI the interests of their employers, vast ing money and time in billiard halls, theaters, and drinking saloons, Albion Y. Towne was at work, building upI as well as reputation, and now fills one of the most important positions in California, and instead of S360 8 year, as brakeman on freight train, he now draws the comfortable salary of $20,OOO . year iA gold.
 Lucky man." says enc. Luck "| had but little to do with It. Modest worth did it. Work did it. Faithful ness in the performance of present. duties, however humble, did it. This untiring faithfulness in the humber. duties not only attracted the noticeI and won the appreciation of his su- perlOrs, but fitted him for the higher positions which, without his seeking, he was called to fill.

Sonora and Arizona Railway
 ODcrEftOas.

Mir. Robert R. Symon and Howard Schuyler arrived last week in Tucsor from Sonora, and haze since passed or
 to San Francisco. BIr. Symon is 6 principal in the company to construct 8 system of railway in Sonora and other Mexican States wiih Arizons connections, and MT. Schuyler is nov acting engineer. They have just com pleted a preliminary examination ol
 the country from Mazallan to Tucson and had previously made a like one from the same point to the vicinity of Fl Paso. They report three very prac.
 ticable routes from Mazatlan to Ari.
 zona near Tucson, and two of them
 they say presents hardly an impedi-
 ment and are perhaps the freest of nat
 ural Instructions of any equal length
 of line in the world, and the route to
 Fl Paso is almost as level as the prai-
 ries of the Mississippi Valley. NIT.
 Syman regards the building of the
 road from the Pacific coast of Mexico to the Rio Grande as of first and i'm mense importance, believing that there will soon be from one to three com peting eastern roads to that point-the Aichison, Topeka and Santa Fe, or Denver and Rio Grande, C. tine Texas Pacific, or all three; and next to this Rio Grande connection, he esteems one with Arizona as valuable and Tue son seems most de5irable both as a matter of trade and cheapness of build ing and operating the road.
 Should this Sonora system of roads soon be constructed with the connec- tions named, it would serve Southern Arizona quite we'll and the people could more patiently await the action of Congress regarding the Southern Pacific and Texas Pacific.
 Mr. Symon is an enthusiastic sup porter of the Texas Pacific. He re- gards association with eastern much preferable to western capital and trade. He will soon visit Washington and Europe in behalf of his enterprise, and he is g man full of intelligent ac- tiyiiy and will not fail to faTorably im- press Q vast majority of able and capa, ble men with whom he comes in con tact He certainly is what, in the full est sense Of the popular phrase, live man" The company of which he forms so important member, have a very liberal concession CT land from the Supreme Government of Mexico, which, it clear titles were readily ob- tajned, would be quite enough to pay for building the road, and the com p2ny may proceed to it's construction without the substitution of money for lgnds-which change is now asked of the government.
 There evidently will ere long be an awakening of business in Sonora, Sin aloa, Chihuahua and other Mexican States. It is contrary to the spirit of abroad in the world that the present stagnatio8 snd isolation should be indefinitely continued even in hith- erlo unfortunate and revolutionary A close observer of events and tendencies in Mexico, must be- lieve that 8 much improved condition of public affairs is appearing in that and that reliable peace and steady improvement will follow is cer- tain.
 Mr Symon has for many years been a prominent end successful businessI man in Sonora, and his whole air and speech is that of one having strongI in the future of that coun- try.
