Paso.
Sixty of the $50 miles which Good &
Co. are to construct have already been
constructed and the rails laid. Twenty
five miles more is ready for track lay

possible On account of a lack of ma

has been laid, but arrangements have
been completed which will enable them
to put down two miles per day. At this
rate the remaining seventy miles will
be finished by January I.
THE work on the other end of the
line is pretty well up and they too will
finish to Santa Rosa, which is on the
Pecos river, by January I. This being
the case, trains can be run in here by

Hays was coming to London it was
generally regarded that he would be
made vice president of the Grand

Southern Pacific presidency only a
short time prior to the purchase of a

velop it's policy, which had been as
sured to Mr.. Hays when he accepted
the office.
