THE ROCK ISLAND.
That the Rock Island road is setting its
stakes to invade New Mexico there now
seems to be no further question. Start
ing from its western terminus at Liberal,
Kas., two routes are being surveyed, one
directly west to Maxwell City, thence to
Taos and west, with spur running south
to Santa Fe and Cerrillos, and the other
route leads directly southwest from Lib
eral to Ell Paso, Texas, via Roswell.
As to the Cameron party's survey of
the Maxwell City-Taos line, it seems
now quite positive that the Rock Island
is back of it. As to the Roswell-El Paso
line, the Eddy Current at hand to-day
says: IT..
ut is reported that a party of sur
veyors are now in Roswell, having fin
ished the survey of line for the Rock
Island from southern Kansas to that
point, but no particulars can be learned.
Should the report be true, the Pecos
valley will have one of the biggest booms
within the next year ever known in the
history of the west"

itatively announced that the proposed
Midland Terminal railway will be built.
Money, all that is wanted, has been guar
anteed In New York and will be handed
over as fast as is desired for the construc-
ton of the road. It will be an independ-
emit concern with its own corporation, it's
own officers, its own construction COM
pany and its own motive power and roll
ing stock. But there is to be close traf-
DC arrangement between the Terminal and
The Santa Fe companies. The president
Of the company is Mr.. Lillibridge, and the |

weather. will allow, and there is no reason |
Why it should not be completed and the |
:oad in full operation by spring, the total
cost being between 100000 and 100000.
