Wm. Kimball and the surveying par ty returned to-day from a thirteen days trip prospecting the Globe road. Their trip was highly satisfactory as they located new trail over part of the distance and report that the ex- pense of building the road will not be near what it was first estimated at. The exact distance from Mesa to Globe over the survey is 73 miles and the heaviest grade that will be experienced is 10 per cent. The estimates of the engineer will be presented the latter part of the week.-TPhenix Herald.

Railroad BuiIdInu h Arizona.

Rail laying on the extension or the G. ". G. & N. railroad, says the Sol omonville Bulletin of May 20, com menced week ago Tuesday, and about four miles of track have been laid to date. The pile driving crew is about six miles out from Geronimo. Grading has progressed for about 20 miles, leaving about eight miles or work to complete the grade to the Gila river. Ward & Courtney's out fit is located about four miles from the Gila, where some heavy work is being done. The Midland Construc- tion company expects to get through this week with the eleven miles of grade out from Geronimo and will move next week to the summit near Globe, to resume work. The size of the several construction crews is about the same az heretofore reported and work will progress as usual.

The costa RIcan countefeIters

For months the Costa Rican counter feiters have been issuing bogos notes of the government of the island until the amount, it is said, has reached S1 ,000,- 090. Inspectors of the secret service bureau were chiefly instrumental in bringing the indicators to justice. The efficiency of the secret service is undoubted, but it is by no means a secret, but 8 patent fact, that the service that Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters does the weak, nervous and dyspeptic is of genuine value. There have been from time to time counter feits of it, but the miniature note of hand on the label, and the vignette of St. George and the Dragon, are not successfully imitable This tonic abso- lutely prevents and remedies malaria. rheumatism, liver complaint and dyspepsia.

THE BIG BUG RAILROAD.

From the Prescott Journal-Miner.l
 Work is progressing very rapidly on the Big Bug railroad. The grading of twelve miles of the road bed has been completed and track laying will com mence on Saturday. Only about a mile of track will be laid present though. This will run out to their supply camp in order to get the busi- ness of transferring freight of the main line. There is considerable heavy work to be done at the Big Rug end, but the contractors feel confident that they will be able to complete the grade by the middle of August.

GRAVEL FLYING.
From the BIshee orb.l


 The first work on the proposed exten- sion of the Nacosari railroad was com menced yesterday at mile post 47, near what is known as Deer Point, by some thirty or forty grading teams. The first four miles of the road will be pushed rapidly, this being tine distance to the internati tional line. Whether the work beyond win be started soon we great present unable to state. The old rails that have been taken up from the road between here and Fairbank will be used on the new road. The railroad will cross the line at Naco, and already the ground adjacent there to has been located for half mile on both sides. Naco is bound to become thriving city, as both custom houses will be moved there, and with the railroad will give considerable revenue to the place.

The Black Warrior Copper company is now shipping ore from the Mont gomery. which is one of fifteen claims belonging 10 the company situated in Webster gulch. The Montgomery is phenomenal mine in that it has proved a paying proposition from the grass roots. The ledge is 20 feet wide and the ore is cheaply mined, averages 15 7-10 copper, and is of character that makes it desirable to Aux with the ores of the United Globe mines, which company has contracted to smelt it.
 Jas. A. Fleming, president of the Black Warrior company, notwithstand- ing the many discouragements which he has had to face, has never lost con fidence in the property, and is now practically the sole owner. About 90 tons of ore are being delivered to the United Globe smelter daily, at cost for mining and hauling of $3.25 per ton, leaving the handsome margin of profit of from $10 to 12 per ton. Mir. Fleming informs us there is enough ore in sight to insure continuation of shipments for year.
 Other claims in the group have been more or less developed, some of them with very satisfactory results, and there is no doubt but the Black War rior Copper company has one of the most valuable properties in Globe district.
