 CASA GRANDE, A. T., May ,, 1889.
 This town is Ill what may be termed an expectant state, and though sev- eral substantial improvements have been made and are now in progress, yet there are excellent causes existing for the good people of this quiet and place, to expect mach more in that line i'll the near future.
 A number of wagons were loaded | with freight this morning and pulled | by six and eight mules. started for the | Reymert mine. Large amounts of | freight are received here every day for ] the surrounding mining camps and am told the business from the team sters alone is quite an item to Casa Grande merchants.
 J. NJ. Wood and Thos. Earll sold a group of four mines last week, the silver Spur, Mountain Queen, Daisy and Plomosa, ail gold and silver mines, to the Trust and Loan company of St Louis, and the purchasers have already asked for bids to do a certain amount of development work on the claims.
 Another sale consummated few days ago in this district, was of the Johnny Reese and Thos. Tomlinson to Walker Bros, of the Vekol, who, I am informed, will put mill on the property.
 The Reymert mine is now said to be assuming favorable condition and 1t gives every promise of becoming equal ii not greater in magnitude and richness to the Silver King. When the mills are started up ca this prop erty 1t will require an immense amount of supplies and timber to keep it go- ing, all of which will pass through this town and add to its business.
 At present there Is not town in
 Arizona with so few facilities, that does anything like the amount of bus mess as Casa Grande, and any further l increase of business means increase of
 town, as the people here now have all
 they can we'll do.
 Among the improvements and
 changes noted here s1nce my visit in
 February, is an addition to the stores of
 MT. Thos. Tomlinson, which will be
 used as store room to accommodate an increasing business. NIT. Tomhnson
 enjoys good trade and receives bar l |.
 the car load. Also bacon, lard and
 hams are received in car load lots
 Mr Tomiinson Is one Of the old stand
 bys of the camp and enjoys the respect
 and confidence of the people, as well
 as a liberal share of their patronage
 He is also excavating for large eel
 lar under his store room.
 There is not much change around
 the business houses of Mir ". c
 smith. He has one of the larges-
 establishments in Southern Arizon;
 and does an immense business. H.
 carries a large stock, keeping every thing the people need in their dome
 tic, mining, milling or agricultura pursuits. Mir. Smith also does con siderable banking business which i an accommodation to the town an, people hereabouts. He Is deservin,
 of his success.
 A new jail was completed here sev eral weeks ago, but it has done poo business so far, as this is a very quie
 place. c. NJ. Marshall is justice of th
 peace, and D. NJ. Cummings is COT stable and jailer. This constitutes tn official government of the town ' Mrs. Pauline Fryer has done an ez cellent business with her hotel durin the past three months, and man 1 times has been unable to furnish aC = commodations for would-be guest . She is now having adobes made fC v the purpose of erecting new dinin , room, reading-room etc., on the co ner lot opposite the depot Her hous is elegantly furnished throughout an :, the accomodations provided are equ; a to any in the Territory not even e |, cepting Tucson. The dining room i n connection is in charge of Mrs. J. \ = Wood, who has moved from her ol = stand on the west side of the tracl which is now occupied by Mrs. M.
