The line is in hand.
The details of the proposition made by

accepted. The durango Herald of Friday
says:
"A large number Of our citizens met
yesterday afternoon at the Office of Prev lit
& Prewtt and listened to proposition
submitted by Mr.. Simar for the construC-
ton of railroad between Durango and
Rico over the route commonly termed
the Rico short line, and also for broad
guage road between Algodones and Du-
range. Mr.. Simar says his company is
now ready for business as soon as the
people of Durango guarantee a certain
amount of money"
A committee Of nine citizens we're APP
pointed at this meeting to confer with
Durango property owners. Mr.. Cook,
the secretary and treasurer, will return to
Santa Fe from Chicago about the middle
OF July and take up his headquarters
here. The principal Office OF the com

OF monies made through Santa Fe banks.
MIR. Cook states that building operations
will begin simultaneously at Algohones
and at Durango.
