were there again this week and the in creased amount of business over tha transacted two months ago was very much in evidence. More people are tC be seen on the streets, new business firms have been established on botf sides of the line. Surveyors and rail road men are both coming and going The traction engines are getting uI steam preparatory to their first run to Cananea-forty-fve miles distant-big freighting outfits are loading and un- loading their cargoes Custom house brokers are hurrying to and fro with consular invoices, and it might be stated here that one invoice alone last month covered merchandise and ma chinery to the amount of $50,000.
 But during the next sixty days the activity accompanying the building of a railroad will be added to the present busy scene. And before the expiration of sixty days, more than two hundred teams will be strung along the route between Naco and Cananea, construct ing the grade for the steel rails which will connect the richest mine in So- nora with the A X s. E. at Naco. The distance is forty-fve miles and before the autumn days have come, a traveller will be able to eat breakfast in Bisbee and luncheon at the big copper camp across the border
 The building of the railroad is not the only enterprise contemplated or ex- pected for the early future. The stock holders of the Greene Consolidated Copper company are expected at Naco again within the next sixty days when other contemplated enterprises, which will mean much for the town of Naco, will be made public.
 Across the line the busiest place of business seems to be the store of the Cananea Supply company, which is un- der the management of Steve Aguirre, assisted by Fred Kelley. A general merchandise business is carried on and all the staple articles handled in large quantities. New fixtures were being added this week and new goods un- packed preparatory for the increasing business.
 Adjoining the store building of the Cananea Supply company, is the office of E. A. Mcfarland, chief engineer for the railway department of the Cananea company. MT. McFarland's assistant is MT. Tyler, former resident of Bis bee. This department is entirely sepa- rate from the Copper company. Adver- tisements were sent to Fl Paso, Los Angeles, Kansas City and Phoenix this week asking for bids on the construc- tion work of the railroad.
