NAC0'S FUTURE
 VERY BRIGHT
CITIZENS ARE FULL OF ENrHu.
 SiASN AND ENERGY
The Town Was Visited Yesterday by Review Representative Who Gives Some impressions Received There

'Naco is bound 10 be the largest port of entry into old Mexico said one of her leading merchants yester- day. and you will see the wisdom of this statement at no far distant day"
 The citizens of Noca impress the visitor with their industry and the su- preme faith they have in their town. No one can go to Naco and engage the people there in a five minute con versation without gaining some new idea of the possibilities of the future of the border town and leave firmly convinced that as long as the great copper camp at Cananea and the fam ous Copper Queen at Bisbee succeed and flourish, Naco must of necessity thrive and continue to grow.
 In addition to the location that Naco has as a port of entry into Mexico it is extremely fortunate in having an excellent townsite. being as level as a floor. She has good conservative business men who are energetic ana have the "go."
 The mercantile houses at Naco compare very favorably with like ones in cities very much larger and upon comparison of prices make favorable showing. The Southwestern Mercan- tile company. the Aguirre Mercantile company. the Emporium Mercantile company. and others are among the well known business firms of Naco and all are doing a big business.
 The mighty impetus which strikes life into every business avenue of this town is the immense freight and transportation that continually passes ;nx0 o1I ico into the United States. One can hardly realize the mighty traffic that surges to and fro through this gate way. There is not. indeed. the amount ofbus mess done here that there was before the railroad was con- structed into the Cananeas. but the character of the business which now prevails is considered of an entirely stable and lasting nature.
 And one is surprised at the steady growth of the town. Everywhere new residences and business houses are going up. A beautiful opera house 46x1O6 feet. has just been completed and adds much to the town. This means that the best talent that comes into this section will visit Naco. This opera house has all the latest conven- fences. having sixteen office rooms on the second floor. J. B. O'Reilly and J. Madden are owners of this new building.
 W. A. White has just completed his big adobe. having three large store rooms on the first floor and flpe hall 40x60 on the second floor. This pro vides the town with an excellent hall for dances and other entertainments. The Baptists are building a large church building which will be com pleted in the near future. Improve ments may be seen on every hand by simply looking for them.
 Should the road be continued from Cananea to the gulf in the near fu- ture-and it is generally conceded that 1t will be-Naco will receive . new source of business that will mean very much. Should the Southern Pa ci6c build into Naco from some point north another avenue to business will open to her which will be beneficial.
 From every viewpoint this town has bright future-location, good business men, a port of entry, a possi- ble railroad center. all insure thor ough and healthful business life.
