 Nr. Griffith. of the Arizona and Texas Stage Company, says the FlOrence En- terprise arrived here Monday and left immediately for Pioneer to put force of men to work on the Globe, Florence and Casa Grande road. As soon as thls work shall have been completed the rr-adin., f1-ce will be set to work open Ins up stage and wagon road from Casa Grunde to Gunslght via Nekol mine. There will be an abundance ot water along the latter route and very llttle sand. It will soon become the fsvorite route for teamsters and It IS probable that all the teams now haul- ina between Gila Bend and Gunsight will be brought over to the Casa Grande route. This will be a great benefit to our prosperous railroad nelghbOr.
 The Florence Enterprise says: "We noticed Inst week number of substan- tial improvements in progress along the upper Cila and San Pedro vallies, this county. The Putnam brothers at River slde. Mir Geo. Finch, NIT. John T. Bates. Mir. Fred Geitz and Mir. Frank Shields are all building neat, new res . dences. In fact, one sees evidences or prosperity on every hand m passing through that section. There are at least 2OOO0 head of cattle distributed along the ranges between Riverside and the point at which the county line crosses the San Pedro, and the herds are rapidly and constantly increasing. The time will come when that will be the greatest cattle growing section m ArIzOna. The lower portion of that dis trict IS also rich III mineral and mining is destined to become an important factor lu it's future prosperity. A nun Der of claims have been developed to 2 considerable extent and show unmis- takable proofs Of merit. Some of them are in a fair way to pass into the hands of companies with sufficient means to place them on a bullion producing basis. Taken all Tn all, the San Pedro district is very Inviting tOhome seekers.
 One of the finest ranches on the eupper San Pedro IS that of Col Robert Woods. lt resembles, in its envirOns and ar engagements, one of the old time planta- ti0ns of the South, and the visitor finds there that princely hospitality and cor dial treatment 80 characteristic of the true SOuthernOr. Mrs. Woods Is one of those bright, sparkling and polished ladies who make everyone feel at home in her presence, and the Colonel IS one of those genial, entertaining gentlemen whom 1t is pleasure to meet
 Rev. G. H. Adams, says the PInal Drill, visited us this week and held a service III the Methodist church last Sunday. Although in wretched health, he attends faithfully to his numerous duties He left Tuesday night for SIl- yer King. Thence he will go to Globe.
 The Piual Drill says that two school teachers are needed there and that 1t is absolutely impossible for any man or woman to teach from 65 to l5 children efficiently, particularly when each one is a study. We know whereof we speak.
 ln no well organized school Is any teacher allowed more than 4O children, all Of one grade too. Is our school to
 remain a makeshift forever?
