THE GLOBE RAILROAD,

The construction work on the Gila Valley, Globe and Northern Railway is now progressing quite satisfactorily, every department moving along with out friction. The grade is now about completed to the Gila river, short distance this side of San Carlos, and track-lsying will be completed to that point about June 10th.
 On Tuesday the first station below Geronimo was reached, which is point two miles below the old sub-agency and fifteen miles from Geronimo. A switch 1900 feet long is being put in here and coke is now beling unlcaded from the cars at this new station. When the track reaches the Gila river an extra train will run between that point and Geronimo, connecting there with the regular Bowie passenger train. Then travellers can make the trip from Globe to Bowie Station in one day.
 After reaching the river it will re- luire some thirty days to complete the bridge SD that the train can reach San Carlos station, which will be the prin- ciCal one Sstween Geronimo and Globe. Ward < CouftDey, grading contractors, viii receive about fifty head of horses this vesk to add to tba present force. The construction outfit of the Midland Construction company, IS now at San Carlos where it will grade four miles and then go to the heavy work on the Inst six miles of the grade going into Globe.
 It is believed that by the time the bridge IS completed at San Carlos the grading will have proceeded so far that trackiayipg will not be hindsred again until Globe is reached.
 A large amount of coke and mschin- cry is now being received for the Uni ted Globe Mines snd there is demand for teams.
 There :s now about $50 men engaged on tho work of constructing the road and it iS the positive expectation that trains will reach Globe not later than October 1st.-Grsham County Bull letin,
