New Railroad for Arizona

Railroad building is in full swing | in Arizona. The latest is the con. struction of a road from Cochise. on the line of the Southern Pacific. to Pearce
 John Brockman of Los Angeles, gen eral manager of the Commonwealth mine at Pearce, is authority for the statement that work on this line has been started. MT. Brockman, who is
 now here, has the assurance from the railroad people that this line will be in operation within sixty days. It is
 being backed by the Greene-Randolph Hartman crowd, and is part of rail-
 road enterprise engineered by the syn. dicate.
 Their plan is to leave the main line
 of the Southern Pacific at Cochise going to Pearce. a distance of sixteen
 miles, thence on down to Sulphur Springs valley and Naco, where it
 will join the present Greene Consoli-
 dated railroad now in operation be- tween Naco and Cananea-
 The plan also includes the contin- uation of the Green line to some point on the west coast of Mexico. This system when completed will pass through one of the richest mineral countries in this part of the world.
 Work at the Commonwealth mine is progressing and the outlook is en- couraging. At present the company is crushing PA tons of ore a day with it's eighty stamps and it's output places
 it away up in the front rank of Ari- zona producers-Los Angeles Herald. L. N. Wombacher. general manager of the Iowa Mining and Developing company. was Jerome visitor Satur-
