MESA CITY, ARIZONA, JUNE +, 1893
MESA MATTERS.
One Can Almost See the City
 Grow.
List of the Private and Business s Buildings Erected or Now
 Being Constructed.

The progress of Mesa's growth is
 marvellous and especially 90 when the
 closeness of the times is taken into
 account. Four months ago there were
 bnt two brick business houses on the busness street of the city and as for
 other kinds, they are only slightly more
 Dume 'ous than on any of the other
 streets Of the place. Since that time
 Main street, between D and the west
 boundary, has been tacitly agreed upon
 ss the business center. The erection of
 inc Mesa bank, the Pomeroy block, the
 Psssay block, the Patterson building,
 snd last, but not least among these
 l..e modern additions, may be men,
 tioned to the credit o: the architect and
 builder, MT. F. Bowers. the large and
 spacious grocery department of the
 Coop, now almost ready for occu-
 pancy. A large warehouse made of
 adobe is being roofed by the Johnson
 Bros. and the stone is on the ground
 for the foundation of large and com
 mOdious storeroom to go up at once in
 front of the same. The embryonic
 condition of many other buildings may be offered in this connec-
 ,ion as tangible proof of this marvellous growth, the partial con- .truction of the residences of Dr. Trip pei, I. E. Pomeroy, N. Burton, Chas. Wing, Sam Elder, Mrs. Peterson, D. FOIcome and D. LeBaron. There alse may be mentioned the Fisher and | Cuber building, l.. W. Johnson's brick paint shop, Longs eighteen-room two | story hotel on D street, and w. A. Kimbsl's fine hotel in contemplation. Within the period first mentioned there has not been a single week that as fair showing could not have been made to prove that the cIly of Mesa has an enyiabe future before her. The people Oi this section want no fungus growth and take this opportunity to notify the outside world that they are satisfied with their good fortGne of being inhab- iants of deservedly populous and blnDy community.
