 BUILDING PROGRESSES
The Laying of Steel On the High Line Has Had Be-
 ginning,

MORALES, Ariz, Jan. 29.-The first actual signs that tae new rail road is being built from Nogales to Cananea is manifested by the laying of tracks at this end. The steel gang" will continue to lay the track as far as they can, but only twelve miles will be ready at this time for completion. Work is being pr5neu at very rapid rate all along the lin3 of construction, and the iualIy hundreds of men and mules now un- der employment are constantly busy from morning to night. The camps are therefore very lively at all times, and the merchants are furnishing con siderable quantities of goods to sup ply the needs of all the animals and the. employees. That the construction of a railroad no matter for what dis tance, brings much business is proven by the prosperity now being enjoyeu by the merchants of this town, and a more orderly and well behaved SC. of men never were employed by a railroad company than arg now work ing for the Southern Pacific in this section of the country.
 Collector of Customs M. H. McCord who went to Phoenix last week to undergo treatment for his eyes, is still there under the care of Dr. Wy lie, and is slowly improving. He wnl probably not be able to go back to his office for some weeks yet, as he must exercise care from now on for sCme time to come, as he has passed all danger and does Tot care to run any risk.
 The location of a branch headquar tCrs Of the immigration service at NacO recently is another evidence of the prOgressiveness of the admins tration, and the determination to pro tect the laws at all times. An eX perienced man in immigration mat ters Mir. Bishop, has been wisely chosen to superintend the office. and as the business is considerably in. creasing the Tucson headuuarlers will be relieved of much that can De attended to there. At Nogalas the office has been put in charge of MT Cook who has proven also to be a capable man, and the force here will be added to later on, as soon as some changes can be made elsewhere. The records of this office are now up to date and everything shows strict watch is being kept by those on duty here for any violation of the laws. ', Special Deputy Collector of Uus toms E. l.. Griswold has returneU from a visit of over two months |. the east and resumed his duties al
 the customs house.
 Nearly eight hundred head of cat tie have been imported lately to tht United States through the custom, house, which will net the government l nearly three thousand dollars in duty The cattle were all fat and health, and were going to the California mar kets. The ranges in Mexico are il fine condition and thousands Of heaC of cattle are being fed there for mar kets in the states.
 Very few Chinamen are .ominA over the line at this season of tht year. As soon as winter begins they do not like to leave this country as it is so much warmer here than ir China but upon the arrival of warn weather they make arrangements C enter the states and get caught, and expect to be depoTted at the expens, of the government. Thus the officers have little trouble in controlling then and when a bunch is secured theI they are all sent off to San Francisco and put on board the vessel for China
