SOUTHERN PACIFIC IN MEXICO.
VIII Be Extended 700 Miles and Near
TO Mexico City.

Mexico City. Mexico. Jan. 10.-The
Southern Pacific road is to be extend
ed 700 miles into Mexico and will
come within a comparatively short
distance of this city. When the work
is completed the company will own
one of the most important railroad
systems in the republic. In mileage
it will approach the Mexican National
and, coming as it does, at the time the
Mexican government has completed
arrangements to take over and con-
solidate the two older systems of the
country, the announcement is of pc
culiar interest,
The impression here is that the gov
ernment is friendly towards Mr. Har-
riman and that President Diaz and
/ his cabinet have not adopted a last
ing policy as to the government and
| operation of the railroads in this
/ country.
