 which IS practically sure of being carried out, Is the adoption and the beginning of construction of the Globe Durango rail road.
 Surveyors are now at work on this line, having commenced at the north end. That the line will be constructed and at date not far distant, is admitted in railroad circles. That Globe will be the southern terminus of this line railroad officials are also free to admit.
 The construction of this line will place Globe in direct connection with Colorado and give this district the benefit of the enormous coal supplies of that part of the country, an advantage which will mean much to his district, particularly to the mining companies.
 In addition, better and quicker freight service will result and the northern part of Gila county, at present without trans portation facilities, will be opened up.
 Another railroad project which will be carried out, barring interference from the government, is the extension of the Phoe- nix & Eastern railroad through the box canyon of the Gila river and on through to the Southern Pacific main line, near Lordsburg.
 The survey for this line has already been made through the box and only the fight between the railroad company and the promoters of the San Carlos irriga- tion project has prevented construction work from beginning.
 This line is part of the Southern Pa cific low grade transcontinental line, which when completed will pass through San Carlos, thirty miles from Globe.
 The new line, as it is now planned, will be on a water grade throughout and when completed, practically all of the Southern Pacific traffic of the southwest will be car ried on over its rails.
 The construction of these two lines of railroad, as an impetus to the mining in dustry of Globe will make this city one of the biggest in the territory and will exploit this district above any other copper pro ducing section of country in the southwest.
 Locally, many improvements are in sight One of the most important of these is the construction of new sewer system, which will probably be installed before many months have passed. The need of sewers is apparent and as 1t has been shown that the municipal water works will pay for this improvement, there is no reason why Globe should continue sewer, less for another year.
 A new passenger depot, to be built on the grounds already secured by the Gila Valley railway, Is promised. It is expect ed that an appropriation for this improve ment will be made some time during the coming summer.
 Several street car promoters have been after franchises in this city for the past few months and 1t is not unlikely that some one of these promoters will secure franchise here and install an electric car system, which may extend to Miami and Copper Hill.
 Several new buildings will be construct ed including the Elks building on Mes quite street, for which plans have been adopted and for which contract will be let within the next few weeks, the new county jail, upon which preliminary work has already been made.
 A new wagon bridge will be built across Pinal creek on North Broad street within a few months. Plans for this structure are partially prepared and a contract for this work will be let some time during the present month.
 Other improvements, of both a public and private nature, are in contemplation
  twelve months.
 Can the consummation of all of these Improvements do other than increase the prosperity of Globe and the Globe dis trict?
 Emphatically NO!
