Canadians, 1t Is Said, Are 0ickering For the Purchase of Colonel Greene's Mexican Interests.

CHIHUAHUA. Mex. March 10.-On good authority it is stated here that Dr. y. s. Pierson, at the head of q big Canadian syndicate, has deals on for the purchase of the Chihuahua G Pacific railroad properties of Col. w C. 6reene's Sierra Madre Land and Lumber company and his Sierra Madre and Pacific railroad conces- sions. As Q matter of course two such deals as these would involve mil lions Of dollars and the authority up on which this news is given is that pr. Pierson has put up a large amount on his option on tho C. & P. railroad
 md that the terms for inc Greene holdings mentioned are agreed upon. The prospects for these deals going through certainly look bright and the information comes from more than one reliable source.
 II has been known for some time that DF. Pierson has been after the Sierra Madro Land and Lumber com Dany and made ono trip through here to siadera to look into the lumber en- 'erprise. He at once saw the advant- age Of the Chihuahua Ss Pacific rail- road and was known Co have stated that he would want that road in case he got the lumber holdings mention. e,L This road runs from this city westward to Minaca and Temosachic. The Siorra Madre and Pacific Rail road company has a 32-Inile broad gauge road running from Temosachic, he extreme western terminus of tho c. & r. railroad, ID to Madeira where
 he big lumber mills of the. Greene company arc located. It also has a federal concession to build a railroad rom Nueya Casas Grandes.. Chihua- Iua, the present terminus Of the Rio frande. Sierra Madre ' and Pacific road from Fl Paso. Texas. and c. Juarez southwestward through the Sierra Madres and Pacific coast in Sonora and along the northern Mexico border to Cananea; also, otheS con eessin1s.
 Judge A. T. Fall of EI Paso, the "ersonal representative of Col. Greene and his companies, has returned there rom New York. So far as known here he has given out no news of any deals he has on for the sale of the Greene properties, but he has deals on and he is quoted by an Fl paso newspaper as saying that he was expecting news from England in that connection.
 As to the Greene Gold Silver com pany and its large holdings in this state and Sonora. it is known that en- rinecrs representing the Rothchilds Exploration group of London and
 Norc particularly that branch Of 1t operating at Fl Orc, state of Mexico.

 hines of the Greene Gold-Silyer com any 4, fhC head CH this party are vo EclI known mining engiDeers, J. .. Pickering and E. D. McDaTmott. Whether they are examining other mines than those at Ocampo is not 'mown here but it has been reported that they are. So far as known here Dr. PieTson's deals have nothing to do with that for the Greene Gold-Sil- yer company.
 Only yesterday the news Of the lbove deals being practically con 'ummated, was still further confirm d and that the Pierson interests had 1eals on for the Frank Murphy tim Ter tract Of 500, 0,000 acres and for the Banso Londres tract of somewhere uear the same size, both adjoining the s. M. l.. & L. company's lands; also,

 In connection with these deals it can be mentioned, that D. J. Kerr,
 he last manager of the $. Nj l.. < L.. company, was sz arrival at the Pal- lce hotel on Thursday and that he nd H. RI. Leytnson, general manager f the Sierra Madre and Pacific rail
