City OF Mexico, Aug. 2l.-(special lit be-
gins TO look as though the Kansas City.
Mexico Orient is to have a great rival
for transcontinental business, inasmuch as
Harrimans operations lead one to believe
from a look at the map that he will beat
Stillwell to the coast across Mexico. II is
well-known that Hartman is building
down the Pacific Coast to Guadalajara with
another line up the Yaqui river to Douglas,
but either the Douglas line or the main
line by way Of Nogales will be much
longer than that of the Orient and, of
course, Harriman does not like to have
things left in that manner. The shortest
road that he possibly can get to the Pa
cihc coast is from El Paso to Topolo-
bampo.
w. c. Greene has the Rio Grande, Sierra
Madre G. Pacific from El Paso to Casas
qrandes and Is preparing to extend II on
to the coast, either at Aguiabampo or Quay
mas, and work Is actually going on now
on that extension, but so far II would
answer equally well for either destination.
He is building south from Casas Grandes
and both north and southwest from Santo
Tomas, on the Chihuahua & Pacific, and
says that the line southwest will pass near
Concheno and Ocampo.
From Ocampoi the very best route to
the coast is down the divide between the
Mayo and Fuerte rivers, passing near the
great mineral districts of Batophas. Can

1t is known that a survey has been made
down the Chinipas River. passing not far
from Palmajero mines, in which Stillwell
is stockholder. For a time Il looked
as IL he might change his route, but lately
1t has leaked out that Greene has made an
offer of $1,500,O0O for the Palmajero mines.
This lends color to the story that Hartman
is back OF Greene in the building of the
coast extension and that together they
will build on the route here outlined and
that Greene is trying to get control of some
of the big mines along the route.
