Pearson and his Mexico Northwest ern Railway company of Canada, for , the purchase of the Chihuahua and Pacific railroad. the Sierra Madre and Pacific railroad. and its concessions and the sawmills and timber land holdings of the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber company. continue to show progress toward consummation. So far as publicly known it is the mass of mixed up details concerning the deal for the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber company's holdings that are holding the deals back The mat ! ter of the validity of that company's bonds is nearly through the courts here and the many complicated de tails are being cleared up.
 It is the affairs of this Sierra Madre Land and Lumber company which have delayed matters so much longer than expected. but Ira r. Smith. who is to be the manager or the lumber department of the Pear son company. and his family and L. l.. Long who is his chief clerk. were arrivals at the Palace hotel here from California last Saturday night Mir. Smith was busy here with affairs con nected with his company's deals un- 1 til Tuesday night when he and his family and Mir. Long left for Mexico ! City. They are due to return here next week. Considering the mass of details connected with the S. NJ. l.. and L. and the magnitude of the deals involving millions of dollars. progress made in consummating the purchase of these great interests is ! very good indeed. On good authority | it is stated that next month will see the deals finally closed and the Pear son company getting busy at the lum- Der town of Madeira.
