Especial Correspondence 10 Morning J~ournail
San Antonio, Ten, Jan. lit is now
generally believed here that Il. T..
Yoakum separated the interests Of the
Rock Island from those OF the Frisco
for the purpose Of extending the lat
ter system throughout the southwest
OF this state. The Frisco already con
trolls the Fort Worth & Rio Grande
and the ST. Louis, brownsville & Mex
leo. white the san Antonio a Arkansas
Pass may be said to have for some
time been very amendable to its ln-
fluence. Since these roads control the
situation in south-to-north traffic to a
very large extent as il is, the building
of "A few connecting lines will give the
Frisco system control Of the situation.
The announcement therefore. that n
branch Of the Fort Worth q Rio
Grande will connect with the San An
ltonio & Aransas Pass at Comfort and
thus run into San Antonio is taken
10 be q sure indication that the sNs-
TENS mentioned Will be put in better
touch with each other. Surveyors are
jnow working on an extension Of the
lmain line Of the Fort Worth & Rio
lGrande from Brady, its present ter
minus, to M~erardsville, from which
latter point it viii alternately run to
Junction, Rock Springs and Del Rie.
The st. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
win in the near future be extended
from Brownsville TO Tampico, Mexico
with these improvements made the
| Marshall & East Texas road will be
extended to Paris on the north and

final link in the Frisco's short line
between st. Louis ana the CUT OF
Mexico. An extension of the Frisco
Twin also be built from Ardmore to
Waurika and Lawton.
In view Of the fact that Mr.. Yoa-
ikum is interested IN the road nov
| building from this city in q southern
direction. with P~leasanton as its pres
lent objective, it is safe TO assume that
lthis line will a little later be pushed
to the Rio Grande. While some OF
1.-The projects mentioned here have been
~lspeculated on for a long time the pres
ent announcement carries witt II the
lofficial statement that $4,000, 600 VIII
be spent on the work to be done IN
Texas and for this reason may be re-
garded as strictly authoritative.
For the purpose OF completing ar
irangements in tho formation OF Il
$500, 900, 900 mining syndicate TO oper-
ate in Guanajuto, Mexico, q party OIL
lcapitalists have arrived in this city.
Among them are r. j. Hutson, repre-
lsenting a very large mining company
T.. S. Clark, a big real estate operator
OF Washington. ID. G.. n prospective
limited States ambassador to Austria
f. +. Giddins, who has been promln-
Iently mentioned as commissioner lof
the District OF Columbia. and y. u.
lHinkle, who will probably succeed
colonel Magruder as Indian commits
sioner.
Ii is the intention of the syndicate
TO work the mines acquired on a large
scale and for this purpose S4O,0ou,eou
will be invested in improvements. The
Headquarters Of the syndicate VIII he
in this city and from it all work in
Mexico will be directed. Large orders
for mining machinery win be given
learly in the spring.
