 Gangs of MexiCans have been arriv- ing in Clifton for the past week or two. They are from Old Mexico, and are Of the peOn class. At least seventy-fv have arrived in Clifton during the past week, This Is unusual and besides, there is plenty of work in Sonora at good wages. It is the suppOSition of many that that these MexicanS are ref ugeeS from the district inflicted with bubDnic plague, which is a most req Sonable SuppositiOD, as their appear ance in such numbers is most unusual At any rate they have the appearance of being pretty tough hombreS, and should be compelled to move on. The labor market is well supplied without their services, and they are certainly a dangerous element in any commun- ity.-Copper Era.
 The establishment of the federal quarantine line has given cattlemen in this section general satisfaction. The line was again drawn on February by the agncultural department The line is identical with that of last year, following the international line from Fl PaSo to the Colorado river at Yuma.

It has been found necessary to place some of the machinery outside the building, and three new machines that arrived this week will have to find place outside. The remarkable in. crease in the traffic of the road, and the consequent increase in the neceS- sity for repairs, has brought about the great increase in the number of men employed and the amount of machin- cry The present building is only temporary, and it is the intention of the company to erect permanent and larger shops.
