in Mexican railway circles that the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e railway
company is negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Rio Grande, Sierra NEadre
and Pacific railroad which runs south
west from FL PasO to Terrazas, in the
state OF Chihuahua, Mexico. If the deal
is cOnsummated it is proposed to ex-
tend the acquired line southwest to the
port of Guayn.Ss, on the gulf of Cali
fornia- Such a purchase and extension
would give the Santa Fre new direct
outlet for its Oriental and much Of its
Pacific coast business.
The Rio Grande. Sierra Madre and
Pacific road was inspected a few days
ago by party of officials of the Santa
Fe, and they were well pleased with its
condition and prospects. The proposed
extension would traverse a large sec
ton of the troublesome Yaqui Indian
country, and the Mexican government
has offered a liberal subsidy for the
building of road through that region.
as such a line would be of great value
from a military standpoint.
