sources that the Ray company has
about determined to build railroad
from the Southern Pacific to Mineral
creek. There is little doubt that the
road will come through Florence and
Kenilworth, in order to get the carry

would about pay running expenses.

are men with unlimiteo capital, and
and are far-sighted enough. to see the
advantages of such railroad.-Flor-

| Bisbee leads all other towns in the
territory, in the increase of its popula-
ton and material wealth. We have
thought for more than a year that Bis
bee was enjoying bui ding boom, but
it seems that improvement in that line
and tasty cottages are going up in all
sections of the town, and building
ground is now hard to obtain, and as
matter Of necessity people wishing to
locate and build here, will have to
climb the mountains for ground, or go
down the gulch.-Bisbee Orb.
A letter has been received by the
Citizen from Billy Marvin of Yuma,
whom the papers here named as the
man who did the shooting in that town
last Saturday. Mr.. Marvin said that
as soon as the Citizen reached Yuma
some of the memb ers of the grand jury
! which happened to be in session there
brought the case to the attention of
that body and Mr.. Marvin was imme-
diately fined one dozen bottles of beer,
not for having shot at an old rascal I,
but because he is unmarried. Billy
went through the late war with the
Rough Riders and was regarded by the
boys In his regiment as brave soldier,
yet he has never had courage enough
to msrry.-Tucson.C Citizen.
