and packing company in this city, is
pushing the construction of the
buildings. The factory is located on
the Ojo de Aqu on the line of one Of
the street railroads. The company
expects to be ready to pack and can
by first of July.
The contractors have the walls up
for the new depot of the Monterey

setting the rafter. This depot when
finished will be one of
the handsomest one of the kind south
af st. Louis.

pots has been very brisk the past
month. The gulf people have
a large force of men loading cOnstruc-
ton materialfor the front. They expect
to reach Tampico by July 10th. There
are q number of ships now afioat
which are consigned to them, and
whose freight they will have to re.
ceive OH arrival; hence they are push
ing things. Capt. Wentworth, the
chief engineer of the road returned

are short of cars to haul freight.
