The tracklayers were paid off on the

down to Siding to resume work at the
same business on the Deadwood line.
The B. & M. will lay their W track on

Having seen the error of its wavs il
working against Santa Fe, CerrilOs anC
san Pedro in advocating the extension
Of the harlow gauge line into rentra
Nv Mexico, and having observed, as
pointed out by the New MEXICAN, that
this policy was serving only to cement
the interests of Trinidad, Las Vegas,
White Oaks and 81 Paso as against the
Rio Grande valley, and that rich region
living between santa Fe and Albuquer.
que, the Citizen now begins to talk
sense. If Albuquerque and Santa Fe are
to accomplish any good in this move
they must " rk together. The Citizen at
band 10 day says:
"Huw The roa mav come-Whether by
the direct route down the valley, or around
by Santa Fe, CerrlIos and Golden, is a
matter which Albuquerque has compare
lively little interest IN. For through BUSH
ness Hould be better to come dow n the val

but for local trade it would be TO our adj
vantage TO have it come the other way,
because it would greatly improve our
facilities for reaching CerrilOs, Golden
and San Pedro, which are already places

among the most important mining towns
