TEN MILES TRACK
 ON NEW RAILROAD
Mexico and Colorado Railroad Will Reach CourtIand By
 First of July

Ten miles of trace have been laid
 north of Douglas up Sulphur Springs
 valley on the New Mexico and Colo rado railroad. Nearly thirty miles of
 grade has been completed on the
 Douglas end of the road. Nearly all of the heavy grades have been com pleted by the Mexican & Colorado in the Courtland district and aceording < to expectation trains will be running from Douglas to Courtland by the first of July and it may be that completion to COurtland will be announced before that time. Of course there will be considerable work to be done on the line after the trains reach Courtland.
 but that can be done at leisure. The
 first object now is to get the trains in operation to the new camp for the
 accommodation of tine ore which has
 been mined and is ready on the dump
 to go to the Douglas smelters.
 IL is known that the Great West ern company is ready to make ship ments 10 Douglas as soon as the rail road is ready to haul 1t This com pany has never made a shipment of
 ore since the development work was started on the property which was secured some ten years ago. Until during the early part of last year the ! Great Western property was only
 worked spasmodically in a small way. The important discoveries. of ore at
 that time brought a larger force and better equipment and since then a
 great quantity of high grade ore has Aalr Nba cha and drifts, though as yet no stoping has been done.
 The Calumet & Arizona is also working on important ore bodies in the district and have two shafts well equipped with heisting machinery and reports say that this company could also begin shipment on short notice should it be found desirable to do so. However, the mines of the c. X A. and s. & P. in the Warren district
 are easily supplying the Douglas smelters with ali the ore required for its present output.
 The Copper Queen has two hoisting
 plants at work on its holdings in the Courtland district and in doing effec- tive work
 With the completion of the railroad to the Douglas smelters. it is expected that Courtland will take on increased prosperity which will result from the increase in the number of miners in the district A number of substantial buildings are being constructed. It is
 believed that the building industry will be materially augmented during the next month.
 The townsite industry is dragging somewhat at present and new town site has not been discovered during the past week, though all the former ones are doing something in the way of selling lots.
 The reat Western townsite seems to be the fayorite on account of the fact that the depots of both the South ern Pacific and the Mexico and Colo rado railroads are to be located near est to 1t. The Southern Pacific has already established a depot and is now doing business, hauling both freight and passengers in and out.

WHO SAID BUSINESS
 IS DULL IN DOUGLAS?
"MeScaI' Says It is Not and Tells of Lively Scene
 Witnessed
(By MessaI.)

The vail of the croaker is still abroad in the land. He sits on a beer keg or leans on a horse rack and be- moans his fate because some one does not come along and toss a check into his lap and invite him out to become partner in a million dollar proposi- ton in the Chiricahuas, or the Ajos, or the Tigre district, or some other old place, all just on the strength of his old associations with Ed Schieffelin, or George Warren, or Ben Williams or some other distinguished old-timer.
 Business is spouting in Douglas like Yellowstone park mud geyser Just yesterday afternoon at tht corner of Tenth and c, in front of the First National bank, two sun-buTned sons 1 of Italy became embroiled in a piece [ of business rivalry over two popcorn plants. One had been there few days before the other sought to occupy the same space at the same time, which is known to be 8 Ihysical impossibil. ity. One said: "I likee de Doug; haf right to do biz on de e." I no takee de back seat"

DISTINGUISHED PARTY COMING
 ID THE CITY
Baron Robert 0ppenheim of Paris, with Several Others, Will Visit Bisbee and vicin- ity Looking at Mines

Col. F. H. Woodwork. known and liked by every old-timer in Bisbee. and also in all other parts of the terri tory. is at the present time entertain ing a very distinguished party of guests in Phoenix. and according to reports from that city the party will visit this city for the purpose of in specting the mines in the very near future.
 The party is composed of Colonel Wordsworth, Baron Robert Oppen- helm. of Paris. the Hon. Charles S. Boyd, for years the New York state commissioner of public works. Hon. Charlss Mayer of Pennsylvania and David Liebman, wealthy New York brewer and capitalist.
 Colonel Woodwork was an Arizon- an in the early days, and is one of the very few old timers left. In the days of the golden past. the Colonel operat- ed a series of stage lines through all parts of Arizona. and in this manner. and through mining speculation, he has accumulated a great fortune. For years past he. has been spending the major portion of his time in Europe. on the advice of his physicians, his health being very poor.
 The visit to this territory by Baron Oppenheim is due to the fact that while Colonel Woodwork was in Paris he became acquainted with the baron, and during the course of their many conversations be never lost an opportunity to boost Arizona. as he still figures this territory his home, although in recent years he has put in very little time in the territory.
 Baron Oppenheim is a member of the famous Oppenneim family of bankers of Paris, who for the past three hundred years have been in the banking business in Europe with head quarters in Paris.
 Baron Robert Oppenheim is one Of the greatest financiers of the present day in Europe, and is always seeking the opportunity for investing some Of his unlimited supply of money in a legitimate proposition. He is already heavily interested in mines, but would not be adverse to putting considerable more in any proposition in Arizona that needed backing to make 1t success.
 The balance of the party are all wealthy gentlemen, but are visiting Arizona more for pleasure than of any intention to invest, although they may do so before leaving.
 Baron OpPenheim however, came to Arizona on business and did not loit- CT on the way here. He hurried di- rectly from the ship upon landing on the Atlantic coast to the train that was to bring him to this territory. and passed up all the wayside villages like New York and Chicago.
 It is not known definitely yet just when the distinguished party will visit Bisbee. but the advices from Phoenix state that they will come some time soon.
