 Since the completion of the sPinal creek trestle. the track laying gang has been making rapid progress in its work and the line of steel which will connect Globe with the heart of the copper mining district has length ened steadily with every hours work. The gang is now in sight of the ter minus of the line By Sunday. it is expected that work trains will be run into Cordova.
 The ballasting of the track will not be completed for few days. but this work is also progressing rapidly. The roadbed was in excellent condition aud 1t will require little work to put the tracks in shape for the regular opera tion of trains.
 While no announcement has been made by the Gila Valley railway as to the formal opening of the new line, it is expected that within two weeks, regular trains will be running to Miami.
