GLOBE AS A RAILWAY POINT

That Globe will become an important railway city and the metropolis of one of the largest and richest mineral sec tions in the country in the near future these familiar with the intentions of the Hartman lines have but little doubt. The extension of the Gila Val ley, Globe & Northern railroad west ward to and through Miami is the first step in scheme of railroad building that will place Globe on at railway line extending from the shores of the Pa cifc to the harbors of the Atlantic. This is a statement glowing in opti- rlism, brilliant in promise, but is veri- fed by E. II. Hartman, who, in & re- cent interview, stated that the line through Phoenix to San Carlos (and then down the Valley tracks to Solo monville and then off to Guthrie and the Gulf of Mexico, over lines already construetedD would early be built. He further stated that the much talked of Durango line would be built at an ea:ly day.
 Ths Durango line is now in process of construction. According to state ments made by men high up in the affairs of the Southern Pacific and aux Hilary lines what is now enormously known as "the Miami extension'' of the Gila Valley road is the first Link in a line to the west and a trife to the south that will connect with the pro posed main lino of the Southern Pacific zoua, showing the proposed lines of the Southern Pacific, and study the situa. ton. Start in at Florence and fellow the new line up to Silver King, across to Miami and then on ia to Globe. This lire is in process of construction this minute. Don't overlook this fact. MT. Hartman, who knows what he is talk ing about, says the Durango line is to be built at an early date, and it's now building. When the gap is closed be- tween this city and Florence work on the Durango extension will be con- menced and when completed Globe will be on the Southern Pacihc's main line to the east, the Gulf line running by the way of San Carlos, Stafford and Sol omonville and on to Fl Psso and then to the Gulf. Located at point where the two lines meet and travel tho same track to the Pacific, Florence occupies an eaviable position, only sharing her importance with Globe, the headquar- ters of the Gila vallsy road with line of eighty pound steel and expensive bridges connecting this city with the Gulf main line at San Carlos and run hing on down through the fertile valley of the Cila to Bowie, where it again connects with line running east and west across the southern middle DOT ton Of the state, opening 8 territory even into old Mexico.
 Globe's position in this railway schema is impregnable.
 The city will become a great railroad point. The splendid shop and yard facil- iies of the Gila Valley railroad will be greatly enlarged, and repair work will be done here for four divisions, Globe becoming division point on two of the lines named. This is not an idle dream, nor child of tho visionist It is a promise made by the head of the great Southern Pacific and conceded king of railway magnates--E. IT. Hartman. In fact, as previously stated, the first dirt is now flying. Mir. Hartman, just yes. terday, stated that the country was On a moro solid foundation than for years, 1 and that We would soon be in the midst of old-time activities. This means that 1 there is money at hand for the improve ments and extensions oatliaed. Surely l Globe is F the lstt-e o. tho yellow cold !,
