MILLIONS OF MONEY FOR
 ENTERPRISES IN CHIHUAHUA

CHIHUAHUA. Mex, June l0.-After the long siege of the financial crisis which struck Mexico as well as other countries in the fall of 1907. the signs of better times are showing up in the state of Chihuahua. The out.
 look for the coming fall and winter is very Upright with investments in railroad, lumber. hydro electric pow CT and irrigation enterprises to the amount of s5o.000. 900 gold. all be. ing Canadian and English capital. something new in this state.
 Mexico Northwestern Railroad Go. Of this brand-new capital being in.
 vested in the state. the largest is the Mexico Northwestern Railway
 company of Canada. and headed by
 Dr. F. s. Pearson. The capitalization l is $i0.0o0.eo0 gold. The company has already sold over si3.000.000 worth of | it's gold bonds in England.
 This company has bought the Chi
 huahua and Pacific railroad and the Sierra Madre and Pacific railroad and Ithe Iatter's concessions for other
 roads. and put the two roads under one management. The Pearson in terests have obtained a concession to
 build a railroad from the two cities,
 Fl Paso and C. Juarez on the inter. national border. southwestward to
 connect with it's concession for a
 road running northward from Ste. Tomas on the Chihuahua and Pacific railroad The Pearson company has enginesS.-s out over this projected line
 from Fl fsso and Juarez to Sto Tomas.
 Also in these ::.iars On great
 railroad system is the ultimate exten. sion of the Sierra Madre and Pa cihc railroad westward from Sto,
 Tomas station mentioned through the Sierra Madre mountains north of Ocampo to connect with the SoutherL
 Pacific's Cananea. Rio Yaqui and Pa cific road at or near Tonichic in the Ya9ui river valley, Sonora
 Chihuahua Railroad. Dr. F. s. Pearson has had two par !, ties of engineers to make recon. noissance Of the route of the project cd railroad from Monclova, Coah., to the city of Chihuahua. a distance oi
 about GOO kilometers. The concession
 for this road has been granted by
 the Mexican government to Eduardo
 Hartman of Durango. and the enter.
 prise is being backed by the big coal
 companies of the state Coahuila and
 controlled by some of the biggest fl,
 nanciers. in Mexico. to get their coal
 into the Chihuahua market. This
 railroad. if built, as now looks prob
 able, will give the city and state oi
 Chihuahua a direct route to the Goa
 hiula coal fields but with lines al
 ready in operation would give a di rect line to the gulf port of Tampico and a practically direct route to San Antonio. Galveston and New orleans There is no doubt but that the
 Mnocioya- Chihuahua road will be built in the near future. If built by the Dr. Pearson interests it will soon CT or later be, with the Chihuahua
 and Pacific and Sierra Madre and
 Pacific. a part of great trunk line
 connecting the Pacific part of Quay mas over the Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific railroad.
