 An effort is to be made to shorten the distance between San Carlos and Wilcox by constructing road through Arayaipa canyon which will, it is claim ed, cut off about 35 miles, making the distance from Globe to Wilcox one hundred miles, the same as to Tue son. This may be further shortened by making a road over what Is now known as the trail between Globe and San Carlos, that will enable freight teams to pass over it. The Interior department has been interested in the project, and the assistance of citizens of Wilcox and Globe and other parties who would be benefited, will be enlist ed to accomplish the work. Those who have investigated the matter be- lieve it feasible, and certainly it would be of great benefit to Globe, and should receive the support of our business men.
 We learn from San Carlos and Riv- erside, that the Gila at those places IS not fordable. Hence it is that we expect q temporary interruption in the supply of coke from Wilcox. The mail due Thursday, via Riverside, ar rived in Globe on pack animals. h. asmuch as the Gila is long stream, taking it's rise in New Mexico near the Rio Grande, we cannot expect a subsistence of the flood, if the rain was general, for many days, and never hav- ing attended a guessing school we will not attempt to fix the date of the ar rival of dove with an olive twig in its bill, as a token of dry land some where. We, however, entertain the belief that it will not be long before the wing of the messenger bird will cleave the ambient air.
