Line May Be Opened From Williams

i Jerome, Oct. 6.-The railroad talk
 that was flying through the country re-
 gently regarding a railroad for the 1 Tonto Basin country, seems nearer
 realization than a great many people
 would believe. I am in receipt of knowledge from a source too reliable to
 doubt, that the plans are about com | pleted at the pre- sent time for the con | siructiOn of the roa1. The course will | be from Williams to Globe. through
 the heart of the rich mineral and tim
 Der land With q road in operation be-
 tween those points Tonto Basin would make the greatest mining camp in Ari-
 zona. The parties interested in the movement would not allow their names | to be used under any consideration. but should their names be mentioned there would be no doubt in the minds of any man in Arizona that the road was an assured thing.
 | The grand ball given last night by
 the miners union of Jerome was cer- tainly one of the most successful az fairs ever given in the town by any society, set or organization. The grand march began at 9:30 o'clock and was led by MT. and Mrs. T. F. Casey. the former president of the union, and the ie NCl' HIS GollIliDIe Nllt. lnGY hdd been at grand marches before; for they led the crowd through the intricacIes Of a splendid march. After the march the sets formed for the lancers. Waltzes followed two-steps. and ether , round and square dances followed the former. Ike Flinders called. and gave general satisfaction. Supper was served hy the ladies of the Methodist chul en. Their. 1 hIas till 2:30 a. m. did the last of the reveI- CTS take themselves home. The union, since its organization, has grown rap iGly till now it has hundreds of mem bcrs. The most trustworthy and com retent employees of the United Verde company belong to the union, and are gaining the confidence and respect of the community by the manner in which they are conducting the affairs of the organization. The union must have cleared something over $200 or possibly $500 by the dance.
