NdCO llus pCCl OICubCu OO HulO u SpCll of bad weather during the week just past. Freighters haveubeen caught in the storm between here and Cananeas and have not been able to come in for the last four days. This delay of the freighters is felt very much by our merchants, for when they are in town they always buy heavy and things are lively The freighting by teamsters is now very brisk and it is not an unusual thing to see two men cross the line with these large wagons drawn by twenty horses. All the large teamslare hired either by the Cananea Consoli- dated Copper Co. or the Moctezuma Copper Co. There is now from 156 to 200 teams in the employ of these two companies.
 Otto Kaiser, representing Haas, Baruch x Co of Los Angeles come in the later part of this week and went down to the CaLaneas, where it is said he did a good business for his house,
 Emil Marks came in from the moun- tains where he has been with Harry Hanninger on a hunting trip. Marks claimed to have killed seven deer and other large game, but as he could not show any horns or skins we could place but little confidence in his game story. MT. Ma,ks while here got several of our boys to sign list as applicants for membership to the Elks lodge to be organized in Risbee quite soon. Our boys are very much enthused over the idea of having an Elks lodge. The Bisbee boys can count upon our boys doing their share in help making the lodge a success.
 Jas. H. Smailes, secretary of the Murdoch Brokerage Co.,, of Tucson, spent several boys in Naco last week It seemed to be hard matter for MT. Smailes to break away from our little town. Before leaving this part of the country he went down to the Cananeas and made very successful trip of it.
 Naco can now boast of two churches, a protestant and catholic church. The catholic church has just been com pleted and is juite an imposing build ing. It is located some distance from town and is near the international line. Naco has quite number of catholics and this church will be well supported.
 The Cananea Con. Copper Co. will open up their large supply store about the 18th of this month with s. M. Aguire in charge and Fred Riley as his assistant. This company now has two large stores in Naco, Sonora, and they expect to have complete stock of merchandise on opening up. With popular men as Aguire and Riley in charge of these stores the Cananea people should have great success in their mercantile business. MT. Riley leaves for northern points next week to make contracts for hay and grain.
 It is understood that the Greene company will soon erect a large and handsome house for their secretary, Scott White, in Naco. It is said the house will cost some $3000 and will be built on eastern plans. The house will be erected but few hundred yards from the international line. The com pany will put up a fine residence for their store manager, Steve Aguire, on the other side of the line.
 Mrs. Scott White came in from Tombstone and will remain in Naco for several days.
 Henry Pyeatt and Don Rust, cattle men on the San Pedro, have been in town all week.
 w. c. Greene, President of the Greene Consolidated Copper company, is now in New York. He left here last week with some eastern parties and expects to be gone for several weeks.
 John Hall is putting up two nice houses to rent. He says all the rooms have been spoken for and he will get good rent for them Good room are at premium in Naco now.
 Baron G. de Fontenilliatt, Monsieur c Lion, of Paris, France, and Mr. E. H. Wakeman of San Francisco, were visitors to the border city last Sunday and were shown the sights by c. F. Nichols who brought them down from Bisbee. These gentlemen are in this country to examine some copper prop critics for large syndicate in Paris. The party left Bisbee Monday evening and passed through Naco Tuesday morning for Tepeche, Sonora, and will probably be absent about two weeks.
 Ben Goldman has started to erect a restaurant adjoining his store. This will add another chop-house to the al- ready numerous ones in Naco. It seems that the chop houses on both sides of the line are doing good business. All the restaurants are now demanding $50 per month on this sipe of the line. On the other side board can be had for S22. MT. Goldman has rented hisIrestaurant building out to a colored chef, who ex- poets to have only the best of meals and to cater to the best trade.
 A crowd of cowboys came in Tuesday from the San Pedro. river where they had been on large roundup. The boys generally have good time when they hit NacO. Two of them were on the street when they saw the ''cattle king" of Arizona, cattleman well known in Bisbee, they started to throw
