New Railroads for Mexico Extension Project Under Way
Eight corps of civil engineers are to be fielded in Mexico for government rail road expansion. Work advances on an extension line from La De Meas to Con cretion Del Oro, linking with a mine south from Saltitle to open rich mining country. Engineers survey a five mile tunnel through the mountains in the Maxapil district. A new road is being built southeast from Saltitle to Ortenga, serving about 14 districts of the region.
