This hospital, located at 1a de Parrodi 2, was operated by the German doctor, Gustavo Pagenstecher.
Worthy of special attention is undoubtedly the Surgical Clinic that Dr. Pagenstecher has established in San Luis Potosí, where with a medical thoroughness, applauded by those who have visited this establishment, only patients destined for surgery are attended, the entry of any contagious patient being strictly prohibited. No doubt this is partly due to the great reputation which Dr. Pagenstecher has as an operator in all the states of the interior, and even abroad, for we have before us the respectable opinion of Dr. Potain, of Paris, with regard to the difficult operation of trepanation which he performed on Mr. Rafael Gutierrez Barrenechea, well-known in San Luis Potosí and about which the Parisian doctor says: "that it is the most perfect and scientific operation of this kind that can be done." The clinic we are referring to is divided into two departments: (1) Private Department. (2) Charity Department. In the first, private patients are cared for and in the second, there are 14 beds always occupied by indigent patients{footnote}El Mundo Ilustrado, Ano VII, Tomo II, Núm 7, 12 August 1900{/footnote}.

The Sociedad Potosina La Lonja is a private club in the English tradition of a gentlemen's club located at calle de Ignacio Aldama número 310, in the historic centre. It had its origins in 1851, when La Lonja Potosina was created as a recreation and meeting place for members, located on the second floor of the current Municipal Palace. After thirteen years, La Lonja closed, but in 1868 it was decided to reestablish the organisation and on 19 June 1868, the Sociedad Potosina La Lonja began activities.
Since 1877, the Sociedad Potosina has occupied the building in which it remains to this day: a two-storey house on calle de la Moneda (now calle Aldama) at its intersection with calle Madero. It remains a meeting place for high society.

Ferrocarril Urbano de Mazatlán built one of Mexico’s first horse-drawn street railways in 1876, and had nearly four miles of urban railway track by 1905. The system was even making an early move toward mechanization with small steam locomotives replacing some of its mules in 1908. Unfortunately, the system was shut down in 193, a victim of the Mexican Revolution.
Jesús Escovar was owner of the Compañía de Gas Hidrogeno, which supplied gas lighting to Matzatlán from mid 1868. He then got the contract to install electrical streetlights and electrical grids in 1896. He was president of the Ferrocarril Urbano, and a commission agent.
The Hotel Central, on the corner of calle Principal (now Belisario Dominguez) and calle (now Angel Flores) opened its doors in 1888 and until 1930 was one of the best in the city and on the Pacific Coast. It had a central patio surrounded by wooden screen with fine coloured glass that were used for private dances. Its restaurant offered gourmet cuisine with a European orientation and in its bar, you could find the finest wines from the old continent and taste the most exotic cocktails.
There are few, if any, hotels in Sinaloa that surpass the Hotel Central of Mazatlan. This spacious and modern hostelry, which covers an area 300 x 300 feet, is located at 364 Calle Principal, in the heart of the city’s business center. It was opened in September, 1888, and from the outset has proven a decided success, because of the excellent accommodations provided and the liberal rates charged. The various departments are spacious and complete. All the rooms are lighted with electricity, while four large bathrooms are provided for guests. The patio is particularly beautiful, with its wealth of tropical shrubs and flowers. There are twenty airy and well furnished guest rooms, while the dining rooms, parlors, etc., are in every way in keeping with a first-class hotel. The saloon is beautifully fitted up and is well stocked with the choicest brands of imported and domestic wines, liquors and cigars, while all kinds of mixed drinks may be had.
It is patronized by the leading business and professional men of Rosario. The table is always provided with the best staples and delicacies that the markets afford, and in the various departments sixteen experienced helpers are employed.
The Hotel Central is under the management of Mr. Francisco Quevedo, and to his efforts much of the success of the enterprise is due. He is a man of wide experience in catering to the wants of the public, and before assuming his present charge was manager of the Casino Club of Mazatlan. Mr. Quevedo is very popular with the traveling public and with the people of his own city.
The Central is the only hotel in Mazatlan offering superior accommodations to transients. The people of Mazatlan have a right to feel proud of the Hotel Central{footnote}El Estado de Sinaloa, Mexico, Sus Industrias Comerciales, Mineras y Manufacturas, J. R.

In 1896, three Germans from Bavaria, Geo Grüning, Alberto Hoeffer and Jacobo Schusley, had the idea of founding a brewery in Hermosillo. The first to arrive was Geo Grüning in 1893 and he immediately became involved in the high political and commercial spheres. He married Lolita Monteverde daughter of the presidente municipal, Francisco Monteverde. In 1895 Doctor Alberto Hoeffer, Geo Grüning, Luis E. Torres and Ramón Corral met in the Casino Alemán and deided to investin a brewery and Grüning went to San Francisco, California, to find an architect and mechanical engineer. On 22 September 1897, the notary public Miguel A. López, attested to the foundation of the Cervecería de Sonora, S. A. In 1898 ,Grüning, Hoeffer and Schusley presented themselves to the municipal treasurer, Francisco Monteverde, to process the necessary permits and begin the construction of the building, which was completed in 1904. Grürinig was a director of the brewery from its foundation until approximately 1911, when he handed it over to Hoeffer, whose family would continue to run the brewery years after his death.
The brewery was one of the main industries in the state during the first decades of the twentieth century. However, it ceased to operate when Governor Plutarco Elías Calles, on 8 August 1918. published his decree núm. 1 prohibiting the importation, sale and manufacture of intoxicating drinks, but by 1922 the activities resumed, a fact that began a golden age that lasted until the mid-thirties, closing again in 1935.

In 1871, in order to serve the growing movement of goods and passengers between Brownsville and Matamoros, by decree núm. 67 the state authorised Domingo López de Lara to build and establish an urban railway, starting from the main plaza and ending at the port of entry in the town of Santa Cruz. This railway was inaugurated on 16 March 1873 by Eugenio Armendáiz and Domingo de Lara. A first class ticket cost eight centavos and a second class six centavos.
The railway consisted of small wagons pulled by mules, on narrow-gauge metal rails. Over the years there were several models of wagons pulled by mules and occasionally by horses, until March 1923, when the owners announced that the rails would be changed for others of greater calibre, and the animal-drawn cars replaced by motorised cars. Despite this modernization effort, the Ferrocarril Urbano ceased operations in 1930, when it was defeated by competition from automobiles.
These tokens date to after Francisco Armendáiz' death.

In 1909, the Brownsville and Matamoros Bridge Company, jointly owned by St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway and the Mexican National Railway, was incorporated to oversee construction and operation of a bridge between these two towns. Work began in April. The Foundation Company of New York laid the concrete foundation, and the Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Company of Milwaukee constructed the steel spans. To accommodate river traffic, the bridge was constructed as a swing bridge, an additional expense that proved unnecessary, as river traffic grew inactive before construction was fully completed. The swing mechanism was tested in July 1910 and never opened again. Construction of the 227 foot structure cost approximately $225,000.
This first International Bridge opened for traffic on 12 December 1910. The bridge was intended to serve all land-based international traffic, including pedestrian, animal-drawn, automobile and rail. On opening day, the Brownsville Herald{footnote} Brownsville Herald, {/footnote} published an elaborate set of tolls, including five cents for a foot passenger, ten cents for equestrians, twenty cents for an automobile with driver (plus five cents additional per extra passenger) and weight- and passenger-based charges for carriages and carts.
These tokens were issued by the Camiones Puebte Viejo with 50c for a return journey. There is an advert for the Casa de Cambio Cardenas on the back.
