OPENING OF THE RIO GRANDE
 ROAD
tcontlnned from First pare1

(continued from First Page) a large paper mill will be built in time.
 The bark of the trees will be sys- tematically worked and the tanin ex- tracted
 Another big advantage to this en- terpTise will be the sheep raising; large number of sheep will pasture in the forests by which dangr from fire of the grass and underbrush will be diminished.
 The pine growing on Col. Greene's property is between white and vel low pine of very good fibre and trees in large numbers were found which were four feet in diameter and from seventy to eighty feet high without limb Experts pronounce the quality of the timber fully equal to the Mich igan pine.
 The Sierra Madre Land & Lum- Der Company is shipping its lumber 1 from Madre via Temosachic, Chihua- hua and Fl Paso to Cananea, and as soon as the connection is made be- | tween Madeira and Casas Grandes, Col l onel Greene and associates will be | ests, mills which produce the lumber and by-prOducts and also of the rail- road hauling the output to the mar ket, producing at the same time its | own fuel for running the plants and | locomotives.
 | MT. R. H. NickeTson the former vice-president and general manager of the Mexican Central Railroad Com pany who visite drecently the Sierra Madre Land & Lumber Company's property was so we'll impressed with the future of the company's business
 that he accepted the presidency of the
 Rio Grande, Sierra Madre & Pacific Railway company, and is now occu- pied with the details of completing the construction of the railroad be-
 tween Casas Grandes and Madera and
 between GuZman in Chihuahua and
 Cananea in Sonora. This line, when completed will give the Sierra Madre
 Land & Lumber Company an outlet over the Mexican soil to Guaymas on the Pacific ocean.
 | Colonel Greene is carrying on the operation of the Sierra Madre Land & Lumber Company at present prac- !tically with his own money and with. out the help of others on such rapid
 and large scale that he is justly en- titled to the admiration of his fellow
 citizens.
 Before Colonel Greene started to
 develop the property of the Sierra Madre Land & Lumber Company. he
 finished the heavy task of making a wagon road from Temosachic to Ocampo, through a country which has been travelled for centuries only by
 trails and notwithstanding having spent several hundred thousand dol
 lars for the construction of this road he dedicated it free of any obligation
 to the state government of Chihuahua The peculiar advantage of Col
 Onel GTeene's enterprise in the SierTG
 Madre is that nature has provided fol
 everything: the entire production con sists of first class staples, which no l only have a ready market but all o them have the tendency to advance il price, as the chief product, which i!
 lumber, is diminishing the world ove and anybody can see the splendid out look of the business, established witt the low capitalization of the cOmpan! which consists of:
 Fifteen million in stock and 8 900 coo in bonds and as soon as al branches are running the company ii
 apt to pay a surprisingly high divi dend.
 When Col. Greene passed througl the city of Chihuahua recently, thc governor of the state, General Luii Terrazas and several other prominen gentlemen gave him complimentar. banquet in recognition of what he hat done and is doing in the deveIopmen of the states resources. The Sierra Madre Land & Lum
 Der Company has established office
 in the Guaranty Trust Building. in E | PaSO
