RAILROADS RACING.
For Right of Way in Southerr
 Arizona.

There are several things doing in railroad surveying in Sonora which will probably interest Douglas and the min eral country to the south of this city says the Douglas Dispatch
 Today there was a large Fl Paso & Southwestern surveying party taken across the line and sent to NacoZari. This party consisted of twelve men and carload of wagons. camp equipage and supplies and a number of teams. MT. Campbell, chief engineer of the Southwestern, accompanied the survey ing party to Douglas and went with it to NacoZari today.
 Nothing definite could be learned as to the work to be done by this party goes to begin the survey of the exten- sion of the Nacozari line from its pres ent terminus at Nacozari.
 From a party who is in a position to obtain information it is learned that one of the Southern Pacific surveying parties, which has been surveying the proposed Southern Pacific line down the Yaqui river, has returned to Naco- zari during the last few days, and is now surveying a preliminary line from that point south to Cumpas. This gen tleman gave it as his opinion that the Southern Pacific and the Nacozari were now making for the same route through the canyon south of Nacozari to Cum pas, and some fast work is expected in that vicinity, with the prospects of dis putting the ground, similar to the trou- ble in the Gila canyon below San Car los, between the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe.
 
 Paso & Southwestern party which was hurried to Nacozari has been for the last few weeks surveying a line up the Sulphur Springs valley from this city The surveying of such a line could only mean that the Phelps Dodge peo- pie were making preliminary survey of possible line to Globe, where they own the Old Dominion mines and are operating extensively.
 When the Phelps Dodge people pur- chased the Old Dominion 1t was then predicted that they would build a line of their own into that city.
 It can be stated now that the South ern Pacific has three separate survey ing outfits south of Douglas. One ar rived here last week from New Mex ico where it had been engaged on run ming lines for the Arizona &Colorado; another arrived recently from north of Globe, where 1t had been surveying proposed extension of the Gila Val ley, Globe & Northern.
 Douglas people are enjoying the ac- tivity of the railroad engineers, as all of the proposed lines will reach this city and add to its importance. It is the general belief that the time is now near when the Southern Pacific will close up its gap beteween Pearce and this city, and make a connection with Cananea, and also with the proposed line down the Yaqui river to a connec- tion with the line being constructed be- tween Guaymas and Guadalajara.
