1t may surprise many to learn
that the New Mexico Central

shows that the New Mexico Cen
tral operates 1157 miles OF rail
road and has in addition 10
miles of yards. The amount OF
capital stock per mile is $2l, ,6O8,
and of funded debt the same
amount. The operating reve-
nues in 1912 we're $101, 1877. 06,
and last year, $110. .808 OF, a sub
stantial increase due to the
growth in freight traffic there
having been a falling off in pas
s9nger traffic The net corpo-
rate revenue in 1912 was S2, 2,35l.-
83, and last year So, 339 81. The
freight revenue in 1912 was $751;
587.43 last year SIT, Sal.
The passenger revenue in 1872
was $32, 598.97, and last year
$50, 93O.77. For maintenance of
way there was expended last
year $50, ,580.47; for equipment
500, ,33O.57; for traffic expenses
$7,939 81; transportation expens-
es $33, TOP .88; general expenses
Sc, ,948. 81. The number of pas
sengers carried was IL, 1872 as
against II, 1913 the year before;
carried one mile 503, 1863; revenue
per mile from passengers $267.-
33; freight carried 58,724 tons as

A GOOD SHOWING

A statement made to the cor
poration commission by the N.
M. C. railroad company a synop-
sis of which is published in this
issue, shows that road to have
actually made a little money on
it's business during the past two
years. The statement shows the
payment of sum for taxes each
year, so it must be that taxes
were paid in Santa Fe county.
Had taxes been paid in this coun-
ty the business would have
shown slight loss. But the eX-
penditure last year of above
$40, 900 for maintenance of way
and equipment must include a
large sum for betterments-much
above the average necessary for
upkeep, and therefore, rightly
Judged the statement shows a
profitable business even if &C
crued taxes in this county be
taken into account. The show
ing made is remarkably good
one, considering conditions, and
| General Manager Coomer is GER
tainly entitled to great credit for
so managing the business as to
make such a good showing.
