and fine a coal as there is in the III
ted States.
| The Ell Paso and Bisbee road will
| cause this coal to be opened up and,
the anthracite coal could be shipped
| TO Ell Paso and sold for the same
| money that soft coal is sold TODAY.
| Now if the people of Ell Paso will
make an effort this coal can be
| brought to Ell Paso's door and thous-
| and of tons of freight will be shipped
| into the coal fields in exchange.
The big copper companies all wish
to go to this coal and connect their
camps with the inexhaustible supply
of fuel there to be found. Now is the
proper time to go to Phelps, Dodge
& company of New York and go right
to work on this railroad proposition
Ell Paso must push along this line
until she gets this railroad. 1t must
be done to make Ell Paso the great dis
tributing city of the southwest. and
with the push and pluck of Ell Paso
businessmen it can be made reality
| have made careful estimate of
the people this road will bring to trade
with FL Paso from all the big mining
camps. 1t is over seventy-five thous-
and people. Now when you realize !,
that thousands of tons of freight are
going into these camps and that thous-
and of workmen are employed there,
all at good wages and that millions
of dollars are paid out annually. it
is time that Ii Paso should be looking
to her greatest interest.
The west and south are where Ell
Paso must look for her trade.
FL Paso reaches the upper ella val
ley by the Clifton road where thous-
ands of ranchmen lives. and the lower
ella valley by the Globe road which
brings you to Solomonville Stafford
and number of smaller towns and /,
one of the finest agricultural valleys
| have ever seen. Fruits of all kinds
besides hay and grain are raised here
in large quantities.
This valley needs an outlet for its
product and the people that live there
cannot ship out their produce except
gets it all when it rides on the South
ern Pacific
1t will not take much argument to
convince the people OF Ell Paso that the
Bisbee and FL Paso road should be-
built. l have had interviews with most
all the superintendent of the big cop
per companies of the west Walter
Douglas. superintendent of the Bis
bee company told me that if Ell Paso
wants the road she should make 4
straightout proposition to Phelps,
Dodge and company. at Ninety-nine
John street New York and do it as
soon as the people of Ell Paso can get .
together and formulate such prop
osition.
also had an interview with r. c.
Morgan. superintendent OF construc-
ton and others. All, without exception
are anxious for the road to be built
and the people of Ell Paso should get
together Immediately and formulate
some kind of a proposition to send to
Phelps. Dodge and company Betterf
vet send man to plead Ell PasO's
case IN person. either the man who is
TO be employed by your freight bureau
| or some other. What ever is done
should not DE delayed but should be.
done at once
You realize that there are a dozen
rumors in the paper about different
railroads contemplating building into
! I'll Paso. 1t keeps everybody guessing
as to whatf truth there is in any Of
these rumors. Quick action in the
| right direction by Ell Paso at this time
| may make some of these roads carry
out the plans they are said to have
Perhaps some of these roads mighty
take up this Bisbee proposition. Nc
road is going to build here and stOfy(
