Hon. George 8. Good, OF the contract
ing firm OF Good h Co., which firm
Is responsible for the mechanical work OF
constructing the HI Psso h Northeastern
railway, In an interview CLEANED by an
A~lsmogordo News reporter reviews the
work OF building the road In the follow.
ing language:
"Ihe work OF building the III Psso 4
Northeastern railway was started In HI
Paso two years ago next November. and
sss lust been completed 10 the Salado.
The large hye deck bridge, which, by the
way, IL q wonder, being over 200 feet
long. eishty-iye feet high and contain.
ing over 10000 feet OF timber. was
crossed Monday, and the last difficult
piece OF engineering before entering the
salsdo country completed. The main
line OF the road is 1913 miles In length.
While progressing with the work on the
main line, the Alamogordo u sacrs
mento Mountain railway and the Jarills
branch we're completed. Our plant will
now be moved to the Sacramento noun
tains and the work OF extending the
mountain road through the timber belt
will be pushed.
while carrying on this work for the
New Mexico Railway and Coal company,
our hrm completed forty i've miles OF
railway In Missouri. and also built con
siderable OF a stretch OF road for the
Vanderbilt interests, In PennsJ lysnia.
1.-The extension OF the mountain road
Tor AlamogOrdo Il Sacramento Mountain
railway will certainly open a very rich
timber aud agricultural country, and the
rosd IA II now stands Is oIe OF the most
difficult ever constructed In the United
States, and one OF great surprise ~ tour
lists. The engineering feats accom-
plished are worth a trip across the con-
tinent TO see. One trip will satisfy the
most ~exscting that It's eq Ial cannot be
found in the United States OF elsewhere.
1.-THE Jarilla banch has opened one OF
the richest mineral countries In the
world-one equal 10 Cripple Creek, In
Colorado-and the main line has GER
tainly tapped as rich a virgin mineral
section ~ n could wish to find The
III Psso Il Northeastern will be shipping
coal into III PasO within a week"
While referring TO the mineral coun-
try opened, Mr.. Good showed the reporter
some splendid samples OF free gold and
copper ore. One OF the richest was taken
from the old Hughes Claim In the san
Andres. In reference to the probability
OF q road 10 the San Andres at some
future date he said:
"fhere Is no question In the minds of
the people who nave the matter In charge
that II the development warrants II a
ROAD will soon be built to the san An.
