SOUTHERN PACIFIC
BUILDING IN MEXICO
Foreigners Have Been I'm
ported to Overcome the
Labor Scarcity.

Reports of government railroad in
spectors show rapid progress in the con-
struction of the Southern Pacific IS line
down the Pacific coast Of Mexico. The
labor scarcity has been overcome TO
large extent by the importation Of
foreigners to work in the grading
camps. The arrival of 1850 Chinese
and 200 Russians at Guaymas, all un-
der contract to work on the new line,
was recently announced, The contracts
with the Cinnamon and Russians call
for the payment of but $l.25 Mexican
currency per day, which is equivalent
to 6212 cents United States money,
The railroad pays the ocean passage of
the men, which amounts to 800 Mexican
currency per man, and allows them
wages from the day they boarded the
steamer. The Russians and Chinese
are giving good satisfaction as laborers
and the contract has been made for the
importation of 1900 more, about evenly
divided between Russians and Chinese.
There is wide difference in the
wage scale applied to the Russians and
Chinese and that paid the Mexican and
Yaqui Indian laborers upon tins road.
The MeXicans and 1aqui Indians re-
ceivc from $2 TO $3.50 per day. A
large number of Japanese were en-
ployeu upon tue ioau ioi Cii'', pu'
most of them have deserted and gone
to other parts of the country.
Construction will soon be started on
the Topic Guadalaiara division of the
road The heaviest work will be
on this division, as the rugged
Sierra Madre range must be
crossed 1t is estimated that it will
cost $2,500,000 to build twenty miles
of track through the mountains. The
total cost of the entire line from
Guaymas to the point near Guadalalara
where ii is to connect with the Mexl-
can Central railroad is estimated at
S3j 100000 gold.
The government inspectors report
that $50 miles of the road are com
pleted from Guaymas southeast along
thn coast
