NEW INDUSTRIES.
Since the opening of the Mon
terey and Mexican Gulf railway to
TanpicO, many new industries
have sprung up along the line of
that road. The five principal ones
are the cutting of cord wood, dye
woods. tim Der, burning of charcoal
and the developing of the fish and
oyster business at TampicO.
Neither the timber, fish and
oyster had any value until
the road was built. Now the rail-
way company haul hundreds of
cords of wood and tons of charcoal
daily to the Monterey smelters
and citizens, and thousands of feet |
OF lumber and dye woods to this
city and Tampico. Neither the I
land nor the timber had any value
until the road was built.
The fish and oyster business is
now being developed. The fresh
and salt water fish at Tampico cam
not be surpassed on the Gulf coast,
and her oysters and shrimps are
unequalIcd.
