have come sooner and with more force
than was counted on. The high waters
between Albuquerque and Ell Paso are

The Ell Paso Times says that if Denver
really wants a closer and quicker COM
mercial intercourse with its city and ter
rtory she should join the effort to build
railroad from Ell Paso through White
Oaks to Colorado. Such road would
pass through much of good country and
would touch some promising mining
camps. 1t would build up cities and
towns and materially increase the wealth
of New Mexico.-Denver Sun.
1t is said that John w. Young, ~ho
has been in New York for some months
engaged in negotiations relative to the
North Mexican Pacific, has practically
concluded arrangements with an English
syndicate for all the needed means to
push the work of construction through
to the Pacific coast at the point designated
in the charter. As soon as the grading Is
sufficiently advanced to admit OF track
laying without interruption or delay, that
branch of the work will be also com
menced and pushed vigorously: The
company intends to have the road COM
pleted and trains running from Demlng to
Coralitos, 140 miles, by September next.
