Railroad Business Good.-Free
Silver a Drawback.

J. M. Fuller, the genial foreman of
the Mexican Central shops at Gard enas,
Mexico, was in the city for several
hours yesterday and was royalty enter
tanned by his friends.
Wn n he reached this point he had
q sack full of Mexican silver and paper
money but when he had it changed in
TO American gold the pile WAS not so
large. When the first s. piece was
handed him he concluded that it would
be a very attractive piece of coin to
have in his possession and he made up
his mind that he would keep 1t always.
Ia bis travels about the city yester-
cay be WAS given ten of them in change
and he concluded that they were not
very attractive on this side of the line
at least. He was heard to remark that
S5 gold pieces were as plentiful here as
adobe dollars are in Mexico.
He said that business on the Central
was keeping up this year better then
at any time in the history of the road
The wa2 es paid in our sister republic
for railrosding do not compare with
the wages paid in this country and the
silver standard system seems to be
about the only drawback Mexico has.
Mr.. Fuller left over the Southern
Pacific for Southern California where
he will>visit friends and relatives at
various points and return in about a
month to Csrdenas where be will re-
sumo his duties as foreman of the shops.
