Casa Grande Notes.

I Casa Oranue NOteS'
 The visitor to Casa Grande can
 not fail to be impressed with tie en-
 ergy, activity and enterprise of her
 people. Being the distributing point
 for a large section of the country a
 Urge number of teams are constant
 ly loading and unloading freight at
 the depot and the freight receipts are
 very large. Steps are now being taken
 for the construction of a cattle and
 stock corral at this place, so that the
 shipping of live stock will sooh be- come one of the industries of this
 place. The cattle and stock interests
 of Pinal county are large enough to
 warrant the belief that the scheme will be successful.
 The carpenters are putting the fin ishing touches to the new building erected by w. c. Smith and it will soon be ready for occupancy.
 Messrs. J. P. Mclaughlin and Eli Sears have recently fitted up a very
 neat butcher shop, and are now pre- pared to furnish choice meats in quan- titles to suit In addition to the good things of life usually found in a meat
 market they propose to keep in their season all kinds of fruits. Wednes- day the first lot was received and be-
 ing the first of the season were quick
 ly disposed of. The shipment consist ed of apricots and figs and came from
 the Salt River Valley.

 week and reports work on the well as
 progressing rapidly and favora5ly.
 The wall has now reached depth of
 1S5 feet and work going on night and
 day. Still it will be some time before work can commence ill the mill. The difficulties encountered in sink
 ing the well at the Lela camp have been overcome and the drilling has been resumed. The well is now down over 200 feet. Supt. J. A. Conlee has : returned from his visit to California and resumed his duties at the mine
 Quite a spirited but friendly rivalry
 exists between the two camps as to which will obtain water first.
