Southern Pacific Company, arrived recently from
Mexico, where he has been for tile last month in
search of health. When asked yesterday 10 give
his opinion relative TO the reported sale OF the
Mexican Central road TO the Santa Fe people lie
said:
al believe this report TO be stock canard and
nothing more or less. 1he Santa Fe has not
controlled the Mexican Central for NUMBER Oh
years as mas been reported. This road Is largely
controlled by English capital, though jay GOuid
is a heavy stakeholder. Not long ago MI. GOuiu
inspected the road from El Paso 10 the City Oh
Mexico and all its branches. After returning 10
New YORK he addressed a communication 10
General Manager Jackson, cOmplimentlng him
on The fine condition of the road. Mexican Gen.
tral Railroad stock at once jumped from 81 10
SIS pc. share
.At the same time a report was published in
;he ST. Louis Democrat 10 The effect that Gould
had obtained the controlling interest In the road.
Goud's inspection of the road, his letter TO Gen.
eral Manager Jackson the reports that lie had
obtained the lions share Of the stock and now
the rumor that the road has been sold to the
Santa Fe. all these taken together and consld-
cred, lead 10 the conclusion that the WIZARD OF
Wall street has cOncOcted Shrewd scheme to
raise Mexican Central sock.
THE road is doing fair business thougn II
has never been considered bonanza. II has
total mileage of 1870 miles, the main line run.
