 sequence of Railroad Extensions.

Nogales, Ariz.. July 6.-(Special cor
 respondence of The Republican.)-Th long drawn-out battle which has been
 waged for some weeks between the
 Nogales Water company and the town council has at last been settled and a new franchise is to be submitted to the people for approval The contest all most came to the point of submitting to the people proposition for munic- l ipal water works, but the town can hardly. be prepared to expect to ad- vance along these lines so early in its | existence, and the franchise accepted l by the company and soon to be sub mitted to a vote is liberal one, and beneficial both to the company and the town.
 Since the advent of the Cananea & Yaqui railroad into Mexico, business has wonderfully increased in every part of the country through which the road passes. Every day large exporta- tions are made of new engines iron and steel, and lumber, and also grad ing outfits, and the work occasioned by the building of the road necessi- tates the employment of many men. As a consequence clerks. telegraphers. bookkeepers, time keepers and labor CTS are in demand, and anyone apply ing to the office of headquarters at Tucson can easily. receive valuable information as to chances of appoint ments. Living in Mexico at present Is cheap and opportunities for live. wide awake young men can be found every where along this road.
