Mexico,s RAILROADS

The rails of the Mexican Gulf rail-

and the bridges built of white marble.
In west Mexico is a line built with
ebony sleepers and ballast of silver
ore drawn from old mines beside the
track. The engineers constructing
these railways had no other material
on the route, and found it cheaper to
use these seeming extravagances than
to import the ordinary MATERIAL

Not So Many Rece1YerSh1pS Reported
in 1904 as Formerly.
In reviewing the record of receiver
ships and foreclosures for the first
half of 1904, the Railway Age in its
next issue will say:
Although the first six months of
1904 have witnessed many failures of
manufacturing, mercantile and finan-
cial interests, no railway in the
United States has gone into the hands
of receiver as a result of the de-
creased Industrial and commercial
activity in that period. Two or three
minor companies have passed their
dividends, but of the nearly 1900 OPP
Grating and subsidiary roads whose
securities are in the hands of the
public only six, representing about
500 miles of line, have defauIted in
their interest or otherwise confessed
insolvency thus far in 1904. 1t may
be here noted as an encouraging fact
that only twenty railways, with less
than 1000 miles of line, out of the
100000 miles in the United States,
are at the present time in the hands
of receivers.
