TUCSON, Dec. 1st.--To-night q
number of citizens called upon
Thomas Nickerson, OF Boston, and
the party OF the Sonora Railroad
Company. In conversation Mr..
Nickerson said that the chief
cause of the trouble of the com.
pany with the government was
that it thought the company wasn't
going to build to Ell Paso, but this,
he thought, had been rectified. He
stated that the company had met
with mary unforeseen obstacles;
that the road wonld have been
completed to the line by next April
had the Mexican authorities not
interfered, and that 1t would now
take nine months to build 1t after
operations had again been COM
menced; that the material for con-
struetion had all been contracted
for and that there were 50 miles Of
railroad iron now piled up at
duaymas; that there were three
vessels in the harbor and more
afloat; that the Morley survey to
the line would be accepted, and
that 1t would touch the line at the
Santa Cruz river or the Nogales
Point, probably the latter point:
In regard to building to Tucson,
that matter had been determin ed,
but in all probability this point
would not be reached till 1880. He
believed that the line would be
continued northward to the Attain
tic and Pacific and from thence to
San Francisco. He felt that San
Francisco would grow more rapid.
ly as . commercial centre than any
other city on the continent and
that direct line from Guaymas
there would not only be very prof
liable but would do much to in
crease the great Importance of San
Francisco; that Tucson, being mid
way, would be special point be.
tween the East and the Southwest
and Sonora; that goods would
change hands here for both the
Pacific and Sonora and, in return,
for Sonora from San Francisco. He
believed Arizona was vast min
eral territory which would produce
q large amount of trade for both
the East and the Coast; but mas.
much ma the business men of the
Coast were batter known In
San Francisco, and had large
credits there, and were not so
we'll known In the East, trade
would be- very largely held by the
coast. He believes that O reduce
ton of tariffs would be beneficial
to both the railroad and the people
In Arizona. They have tried the
experiment on the A. Il. and B. F.
They were permitted to charge four
cents per mile, which they did for
four years. He recommended u
reduction to three cents mile az a
business proposition, which the
company acceded to after n six
months consideration and the re.
suit was that their net earnings
were very much decreased. He
said the work and great cost Of
their road in venturing across the
desert country was a sufficiently
good reason for their charging the
present tariffs; but he thought they
would soon find that they would
make more money by q reduction
of rates, as the development of the
country would more than compen-
safe them, and he had no doubt
but that this would be done even
before competing line was built
to this point.
The city will be asked to grant
them right Of way through the
western side. There is no doubt
but what it will be conceded. The
time which is asked is to run one
year from the completion of the
Sonora road to the line. Mr.. Nick
erson and party leave for Ell Paso
Tomorrow morning, where they
will inspect the Mexican Central
as far as constructed, which is sew.
enteen miles south of tho line.
