The New Mexican. in commenting on
the new railroad, adds the following:
The opinion of the company's officials
Is that since they have not asked Santa
Pc for any bonus or financial assistance,
the city ought to give them ample ter
mnal facilities at some convenient
point. As the road ls surveyed at pres
ent II will approach Santa Fe from the
southwest, will cross the Santa Fc tracks
a little south of the pcnitcntiary and will
| then parallel the Santa Fc railroad until
II strikes the Denver a Rio Grandc
racks near the Santa Fe railroad depot.
This would locate the terminals OF the
three railroads very conveniently for
union depot. The plans OF the Santa
to Central may be 80 changed, however,
around tho city west of the Santa Fe
tracks and strike the Denver a Rio
Grande tracks somewhere near the pres
cnt Denver ~ Rio Grande depot"
