 SOkORA TRADE Road Will be Built tO the BdCOdChi Country

Douglas, Ariz.. Sept. 7.-(Special.) )-
 j. ,. Douglas, general manager of the NacOzari railroad, who was in Douglas last night, held conference with some parties interested in the rich mineral country in the vicinity or the Bacoachi country in Sonora. For some tune there has been under con sideration by the mine owners of the Bacoachi country a proposition to build a road from that section to some point on the Nacozari railroad.
 Mir. J. B. Tomlinson, owner of the Swansea mine, near Bacoachi, is h the city, and he and MT. Douglas talked over the new wagon road prop osition, with the result that work VIII probably be commenced on 1t at an early date. It was stated this morn ing by Mir Douglas that the railroad company would be willing to bear the greater part of the expense, but would expect the mine owners, who would be benefited, to contribute what they could afford. It was also suggested by one of the mine owners in the Bacoachi country that the busi- ness men of Douglas could well afford to contribute liberally toward the building of this new wagon road, as the additional trade which would be turned into Douglas by it would prob ably amount to S75,O00 per year at present, with an assurance that it would increase largely with the fur ther development of that rich mineral country.
 It was learned today that MT. Tom linson had agreed to pay the sum of $25O0 toward the expenses of the road, which it is estimated will cost from $35,00O to S4O000. Certainly if the mining men who are anxious to come to Douglas with their trade are will ing to help build this wagon road the business men of Douglas should join them in raising reasonable sum Of money here for that purpose.
 The new road will start from Chur- unibabi, this side of NacoZari, and go first to the Hidalgo mine, now being developed by w. M. Adamson of this city. The length of the road will be thirty-fve miles and it will reach some Of the most promising mineral prospects in the state of Sonora, the supplies for which are now obtained at Cananea and hauled by wagon an average of eighty miles.
 The road will reach the rich Plea cho mine. owned by the Phelps-Dodge interests. and will touch at the La Paloma ranch. Other properties which will be accommodated by the proposed wogan read are:
 The Veta Grande, recently sold by MT. Finch of Bisbee to representa- tives of the United States Steel Com pany. on which development work has been inaugurated on a large scale.
 The Swansea mine, owned by J. B. Tomlinson and his associates, on which development work has been go- ing on for two years, with the result that within a short time reduction works will be installed.
 The property of the American De velopment Company, where important Gevelopment work is being carried on.
 The Guadalupe, owned by the Pitts burg and Sonora Development Com pany and the Cero Gordo mine.
 All these properties are working good forces and are constantly buying machinery and other supplies, and this immense trade is now all practi- cally going to Cananea, a distance ot eighty miles. Here is chance for Douglas to get in and show a disposi- ton to attract this new trade, which lies right at their door. If a subscrip- ton paper Is stsrted for the new wagon road our people should not hesitate to contribute and do every thing in their power to encourage the enterprise, which will add thousands of dollars to the trade of this city every month.
