 As predicted in the CHAMPION two months ago, the town of Peach Springs, despite the croakings of the Mohave County Miner and certain individuals in that section of the county, is destined to be the most importast railroad station between Albuquerque and The Needles. This week ground has been brok en for round house to be immediately erected of stone, sufficient to accommodate twelve locom olives, and work has commenc- ed on repair and blacksmith shop of double the capacity of any this side of Albuquerque, he enlargement of the eating house thirty feet, and the addition of first lass hotel. is sufficient guarantee as tp the intentions of the railroad company to make thls the head quarters of this end of the line. This was the predl ction in the start, or the CHAMPION would not have been published here. Dur places and private dwellings have been sold to outside parties. and orders for lumber have gone to the mills winch will take month to fill. Now. that the question of the perma- nency of the town as an impora t railroad station is settled, people are coming in from other places along the line, looking for loca. tions, and Peach Springs today i. the lvliest and most promising town in Mohave county.
 Our locality is possessed of the most agree able climate of any place along the road, neither warm ncr cold Tn summer or winter, and the healthful spring water which abounds in such great quantities, necessitates the building improvements being made by the railroad company. The sic upon which Peach Springs is located is one of the lovliest to be found in Arizona, nestled as it is be- tween high hills, with level bottom lands comfortable and convenient, affordIng every facility for cheerful and unsurpassed building sites. Within the next year we expect to have population of at least one thousand people, large wholesale and retail houses, and located midway between Albuquerque aud Lo. Angeles. in the midst of rapidly growing country, will be business center which will attract from every direction. Be- ing the poi from which passengers embark for the great natures wonder, the Grand
 anon the Colorado, which is but eighteen miles away, this attraction alone will bring thousands of people here from the east and west, and particularly Southern California tourist, will make the Can their popular place of resort. With hrs,-class hotel here for the accommodation of tourists, visitors will increase ten fold, which will neces,it ate the coming of extensive lvery establishments, and the busy hum of industry will bring wealth and prosperity to all those who en- gage with Us in business. The talk of build ing .arrow guage railroad to the Canon. although nothing has been done, IS no! all talk, as movements are actually on foot Tn thls direction. Heretofore the Grand Canon has been but liltle advertised east or west, but sh uld this resort pass into the hands of the Atlantic X Pacific railroad company, as i, is understood 1t will in the near future, the extensive advertising it will receive under the direction of the General Passenger Agent of the A. & P, MT. C. R. Williams, will bring people from far and near, and Peach Springs will reap untold benefits Those who have fingered here during the past year, doing business, will soon have an opportunity to realize their fondest expectations, and the CHAMPION will be morning daily.
