address the court on a personal matter
The judge intimated his willingness to

TEHUANTEpEC RAILWAY
Report of a Well Known Engineer Vi
Terminal Facilities

Report OF We'll Known Engineer Upon
Terminal Facilities
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. Richard
Orozoco, the wel!-known. engineer, has
made a report on terminal ports for the
Tehuantepec National railway. He has
surveyed the mouth OF the Coatzecoalcos
river and reports that the ro1t for load
ing and discharging vessels will have 10
be at Minititlan, eighteen miles up the
river, which is 500 meters wide at that
point. The bar in the liver will have to
be deepened so as to admit large ocean
steamers. and as the bar is hard CT y. the
work will be expensive. The total sti-
mate for making the port is IS, 600, 900 sill
yer. Engineer OroZoco reports strongly
against any attempt to make a port of
SalIna Cruz, and recommends creating
port at Lagunas. twelve miles north of
the town OF Tehuantepec, where there IS
a lake which would be safe harbor with
thirty-two feet OF water and room for
ships. This harbor requires, in order to
be mada accessible. the excavation of a
canal through the lowlands at Boca de
from the ocean. The canal will be nearly
two miles long. would require an ex-
cavatior of 5000, 900 cubic yards of earth
and the cost is estimated at $1,000. 900.
Orozocos report is regarded as a death
blow to the pretensions OF Salina Cruz to
be considered harbor. 1t is a perious
roadstead, where the two huge iron piers
are being, one after another, swept away
by storms. The expenditure mentioned
will provide terminal ports for the Te-
huantepec railway. American and Eng.
lish and possibly German capitalists are
expected to bid Tor these harbors.
