THE GLOBE ROAD.

they come forward in the aid of any pub lie enterprise that promises profit and advantage to themselves individually or to the community as a whole. Occasion ally they have put in money and lost, but at the time of making the venture the result was considered speculative. but their faith never weakened and they have always evidenced a willingness to back their judgement with their money. There is no one among them but what believes in Tucson's future greatness as a commercial center. From the time the proposition of a good wagon road to Globe was first advocated in the CITI- ZEN, it was almost an assured fact that the road would be built, if twice the sum of Major Miltimore's estimate could do it. The first definite steps taken in the matter, however, was the meeting at the Commercial Club rooms, Saturday evening last when Sl10O were subscribed. The business men then present recognized the fact that the pro- position to build the road to Globe was purely one of business. AS such they subscribed their money and in like faith the committee appointed, Messrs Albert Stienfeld, Thos. Hughes and Frank Al lison, solicited further contributions, The committee clothed with the respect and confidence of their associates, expe- rienced no difficulty in raising the re- aainder. On Monday S700 was sub- scribed and yesterday $500 was added thereto and as many public spirited bu- siness men have yet to be seen, there is no doubt but that the required amonnt will be easily raised.
 The resulting advantages of a road between Globe, San Carlos and Tucson are not easily computed.
 There are those who believe and say that Globe and Gila county will derive benefits from such road, in proportion, much larger than the people at this end. MT. Albert Steinfelt, of l.. Zeck- dorf & O., appreciates the business ad- vantages that will follow and is working energetically to see the proposition through. He thinks that, admitting a road cannot be build for a sum, within present reach, over which heavy coke wagons could be transported, still the proposition, on that account, is none the less worth working for. A road that will allow 5000 and 5000 pound loads to pass will bring all the business of the coun- try tributary to Globe to this city. This means large increase of trade,
 One of the great advantages to the merchants of Globe is the saving of time. Goods now remain en route 15 days from Wilcox to Globe, when the roads are in their best condition, and when the rainy season is on rains are often from four to six weeks in reaching the mountain city from Wilcox. It is a sure fact that the road from Tucson to Globe will always be in good order and wet or dry it will remain the same. Teams will be able to make the trip from here in from six to eight days. This fact alone will bring all the freight of whatever character to Tucson.
 The completion of this road means al so first-class stage line to Globe, car rying the mail and Wells, Fargo x Co.'S regular express, making the trip each way in less than twenty-four hours, bringing the good people of that section one day nearer the commercial centeTs than they now are, and carrying dozens of mining, cattle, commercial, and men of all pursuits and avocations to Gila county and Globe, to where one goes now, owing to the inconvenient and slow methods of transportation.
 Considerable ore is now received here from the direction of the pro posed road but when it is completed, tons will come to where only pounds now arrive. The cattle will all come this way and be shipped and paid for in Tucson. It is a source of pride to every public spirited man, to see such commendable and enterprising spirit manifested by the people of Tucson in this matter
