The proposed Fort Worth, Brentwood
4 TUpolobambo railroad promises 10 be
one of the most successful investments
ever made in our state. After leaving

BILE route passes through the finest graz.

abounds In valuable minerals, and mines
are waiting the coming Of railroad in
order that they may be developed. From
kickapoo, the route passes through

", which Will have Its supplies OF all kinds
shipped by this road, as the Galveston,
Harrisburg & San Antonio railroad passes
at a distance of ten miles and owing to
the location of Fort Clark, at this place
the vast amount OF freight that would be
shipped by this road during The year.
would of itself, be no small item OF reve-
nue.. The fine irrigated farms situated at
Dolores, Mud Creek and the Pinto would
be enabled to ship their produce to the
large cities Of our state by direct route,
thus not only benetltng this section but
patronlzlng the men who invest capital in
this enterprise. The main object is to
transport the coal from the coal fields in
Mexico 10 the large cities In our state,
but 1t will Of course be to the interest of
the company TO build their roa IS through
such section of country as will need but
t le grading and at the same time secure
large amount of local traffic.
Eagle Pass, the point where this route
crosses the Rio Grande, is destined to he
one Of the dnest cities OF our state, and
the entire supplies would be shipped by
this proposed road. From letter from
gentleman who knows G country
through which this entire route passes
we quote the following:
"By this route q rich mineral, grazing
and agricultural country is trayersed al
most the entire distance from Piedras
Negras to Topolobampo DAY with no en-
cheering difficulties to encounter. The
advantages Of this line to all this
country are TOO obvious to be mem
toned. Besides giving Us the
advantage OF q competing line ii would
be much more direct to all points north
and east The advantages in freight re-
auctions alone would raise the price If
our beeves and muttons at least 10 IL not
20 per cent. Our merchants could get
through freight to either Bracket or
Eagle Pass at the same rates now OBJ
tanned In San Antonio, and the whole
country would consequently be benefited.
IL would be safe to say that real estate,
both town and country, would advance
from 10 to so per cent. upon the com
p'etion OF this line through to Eagle
Pass = Bracket News.
