EXTENSION GRADING
 ABOUT COMPLETED
Southwestern Road Bed 10 Tucson Will Be
 Equal 10 Any

Grading operations of McArthur Brothers and all sub-contractors upon the Fl PaSo and Southwestern rail. road extension from Fairbauk to Tue. son, will have been completed by ths end Of the week, says the Douglas Dispatch. C. C. Thinker, field maDas- CT for the concerns. who was in the city yesterday, stated this as his present anticipation. When complet ed the grade will bs one of the best ever prepared in the United States with solidity and strength to bear the heavy trains which will traverse il as it's principal feature. The exten sion is G miles in length.
 The first pick stroke was struck by a laborer upon it last August Since that time a crew averaging l,500 in number has been employed Six hundred teams of horses and mules have been engaged in haul ing, blowing and scraping. Seven steam shovels have been lifting the vast quantity Of rock and earth need ed to complete the grade.
 The solid character Of construction of the entire extension may be judged when it is stated that no culyert was so insignificant as to be constructed Of wood, as with ordinary lines. Con. crete. which wiz withstand not alone years. but ages. Of service. has been put in place.
 Mir Thinker Is now giving atten- ton to the details of moving his horses, steam shovels and a portion of his men. to Oregon, where the McArthur Brothers company has a large contract with the Harriman D lines. He expects to start moving a portion of the outfit immediately.
