Yuma Sentinell
 The railroad which will be built along the coast of Mexico and is ex pected to reach Yuma within two years, has attracted great deal of attention to Western Sonora and Ari- zona. The Sentinel has received au- thentic information concerning new enterprise about to be started which will be of immense value to the town. The parties interested are very wealthy New Workers, two of whom are direct ors in the proposed railroad line. The company proposes to engage in pearl fishery, canning of turtles, oysters, clans and shrimps and operating a line of boats between Yuma and their town some distance south of port Isa- bel, which will be named Greenville in honor of Col. N. Green the princi- pal man in the enterprise.
 Oysters, clans, shrimps, turtle and several varities of mackerel and cod abound in the immediate neighbor- hood of the proposed town. Whilst few miles distant are rich banks of pearl oysters for which the company has received concession from the Mex ican government to have the sole right of fishing in that part of the Gulf of California, for fifty years. The can ming of the different shell fish and mackerel will require the employment of large number of people and the product of the company will command ready sale on the coast.
 The proposed site of the new town, Greenville is one of the most delight l ful spots on the continent. About l midway between Guaymas ard the mouth of the rio Colorado, on the shores of beautiful land-locked bay, with thousands of fertile acres carpet ed with verdure, extending back up to the level mesa almost covered with a tropical growth of wild flowers; tama- rind and palm trees on every side, whilst a silvery stream of cold noun tain water gurgles down from the dis tant mountains into the emerald wat CTS of Greenville bay.
 The canneries will be built at the extreme southern end of the bay where a rocky headland affords good landing places on each side for the fishing boats Upon elevated ground directly in front of the bay, a large hotel will be built and the grounds through which flows the creek, will be set out in tropical plants and fruit trees; the native palms and taramirds of coure will not be disturbed. The plans of the hotel are now ready fol
 the inspection of the interested par
 ties.
 Steam tugs will pull passenger
 barges from Yuma to Port Isabel ant
 from that point low pressure steam
 ships will carry passengers to Green
 vile. The steamships and passenger barges will be richly and comfortably furnished; every luxury being proyid
 ed which good taste and experience
 can suggest; upon the completion o
 the railroad the steamers may be with drawn, although many prefer to trave
 by water than land. Space will no permit a detailed account of thi grand undertaking which will not onl, prove profitable to the enterprising in vestors but of incalculab,e benefit tC Yuma.
 The enterprise is in the hands o successful business men, and before al lowing the project to be made public have carefully arranged everything re quisite to its absolute success. Tn, concessions from the Mexican govern , ment have been confirmed and are o l immense value. A number of prom inent federal officials residing at tn t City of Mexico are financially inter ested in the enterprise and will do al in their power to encourage the com ; pany to speedily inaugurate the work
