Show MEXICAN OUTLET FOR ROCK ISLAND ' Koad SeeKing Line From Chicago to Coast Penetrating Pene-trating Mexico; Would Get Much Business. EL PASO, Texas, Nov. 9. James Campbell of the executive committee of the Eock Island and Frisco lines, with a party of other capitalists, passed through here, returning from visitin? -, the Mexican Pacific coa&t at Mazatlan, .' Topolobampo and elsewhere. It is be-'J be-'J lieved the trip was made with a view ' -of securing a Bock Island outlet in Mexico. A rumor has been current a long time that the Bock Island would use CoL Greene's Sierra Madre road and extend to the Pacific Mexican coast. Beceirtly B. F. Yoakum of the Frisco road said his line would look to Mexico for fu- . ture extensions. All this looks significant signifi-cant to railroad men. Colorado k . Southern, now admittedly a Bock Island Isl-and . company, to ,the northwestern ports, tbe Bock Island would have a line extending from the Pacific coast , of Mexico to Chicago by way of Den-i Den-i ver, and from Chicago by way of Den-ver Den-ver to Seattle and Portland. Much of the business from Mexico that now passes through Kansas City and St. Louis will pass over tbe Colorado & Southern through Denver. |
