AN UNPROFITABLE ROAD.
A RaiirOad That Cannot Compete VIII,
Mexican Burros.

MeNican BurrOs.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer
The recent report of the Sonora branch
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe sys-
tenn, a line extending from Benson ARR.
to Guaymas, Mexico, is not encouraging
The road runs along at the foot of immense
mountains, through waste 81 sandy ues-
erts and uncultivated prairies. There are
few towns or villages of any importance
situated near this road. 1t was constructed
at an enormous cost, and 1t was the dream
of the projectors to make Guaymas a dan
gerous rival Of San Francisco.
The ocean route to Australia and the
Central and South AmeriC an ports is hun
dreuS of miles nearer GuaymaS than San
Francisco and the former port was m
tended a depot and entrepot for all i'm
ports and exports from those countries.
But the scheme met with a monstrous
failure. The traffic between this Mexican
pert and the United States scarcely brings
IN sufficient revenue to pay the actual
penSes OF it's train service. Indeed, there
has been some talk of abandoning that
part of the road running between Nogales
and Guaymas, a distance Of nearly 3OU
miles.
A popularity of this road is the fact that
no freight agent has ever yet been able to
make a tariff that would compete with the
burros that have a line of commercial trav-
ell running parallel with the Sonora rail-
road, from Hermoisillo to Nogales, Benson
and Tucson. Two dozen burros are cap
able of carrying about as much freight as
a box car This mode is cheaper, even If
1t is longer but who in that country reck-
ons time? Moreover, custom duties are
regularly saved by the burro route in both
directions.
