Again Albuquerque mas alnoNe III prog
ress for the organization of local com
pany to build line of railroad from that
city to Espanola. Leading capitalists OF
the city and county are at the head ofthe
enterprise it is said. The pushing OF
such a scheme means the extension OF
the narrow gauge south via Santa Fe,
Cerrilos and San Pedro. Let her go,

A convention will be held either at FL
Paso OF Las Vegas, June 80, for the pur-
pose of securing capital to build an air
line from Denver to Ell Paso by way OF
White Oaks, Las Vegas, Pueblo and Trim
idad. The convention is to be composed |
OF representatives of the different cities
above mentioned. The convention will
elect representatives, who will be fitted
out with proper data and other necesa-
ries to present the project to large CAPT
talists in the east. Success to it.
Work on the Mexican Northern Pacific
south from Deming has been partially
suspended the last few days, owing to the
rulings of the officer in charge of the Gus
tom house, who will not permit supplies
to cross the line without paying full duty.
| The result is that everything has to 60 to
| Acenclon, hundred or more miles from
the border, for inspection and payment OF
duty, and then back to the locality OF the
work. Efforts are being made to straight
en- out this complication. In the mean.
time the affairs of the road are otherwise
very bright. Division Engineer Martineau
shortly goes to chihuahua to relocate the
line of the branch of the NJ. N. p. between
Chihuahua and Guerrero, preparatory to
beginning the work of construction on
that branch. The Southern Pacific has
been awarded the contract for delivery Of
the rails at Deming and John w. Young
has sailed for London to finally close the
business with the English syndicate
that is behind him in the construction OF
the road.
1t is with pleasure that the Cerrillos
Rustler observes desire on the part OF
President Marvel and the officers of the
A., L. & S. f., to bridge over and dc
away with all i'll feeling toward sorth
Santa Fe county, and 1t notes respon'
sive desire on the part OF the business
, men and property owners to recognize
the importance of harmonious action
There are so many resources around Ger
rilles and in southern Santa Fe county
which the railroad company can assis
capitalists to develop, that to attract the
attention and enlist their aid is a thing o
the very greatest Importance, and moth
d ing should be left neglected in the way o
an opportunity which may offer to ad
$ vance these mutual interests.
9 The Albuquerque Citizen takes hope
o full view of things and prints an item
+ which, if true, is quite important.
l. says: The survey for The line from Pan
handle, Texas, to Albuquerque, is almos
complete. The engineers are now a
work in Tijeras canon, and will reach th
town in the course of two or three days
J The recent issue of $50,000,000 of bonds
I secured by mortgage on the Frisco road
was for the purpose of raising the fund.-
necessary to construct the new line, anC
it is believed that the active work of con
+ struction will begin in earnest as sooI
as the survey is completed to Albuguer

Referring to the matter of increased
railroads in New Mexico, Jefferson Raw
