 The new town Of Mascot has been changed overnight. from an uninhab- tied piece of Arizona land to a popu- lous small town in the embryo The many lots offered by the townsite company have been gathered up by investors from an parts, many of them being taken by Arizonans. and the balance sold 10 visitors from out side the state of Arizona.
 There were many hundreds Of am xious people who sought accommoda- tions in Mascot last night TWO sol- i'd Pullman trains were on the side tracks and even then people were forced to return to Wilcox and go 10 the mine in order 10 secure some sleep. This morning two more special trains arrived from the junction point on the Southern Pacific. These two trains carried the Arizona contingent Of visitors and the special Pullman with representatives from Fl Paso
 Taking ali vitors and local people in- to consideration, it is conseryatively estimated that between 450O and 5000 people enjoyed a monster barbecue which held forth in the open, imme- diately following the driving Of the spike in the track. Dining cars on all of the special trains were closed dur ing the noon hour and an Of the yis- itors. from Chicago San Francisco, Dl Paso and other points east west. north and south were obliged willy nilly to partake Of the luncheon offered in truly barbecue style
 Three bands were in attendance at the celebration this morning. The Sixth Field Artillery. the industrial school and the Willcox band and all alternated in furnishing some excel lent music for the occasion.
 Though the occasion was one Co celebrate the completion of the Mascot and Western Railroad into the town of Mascot. connecting the main lineof the Southern Pacific with the mining property. it was in reality a testi- monial 10 the crowning genius of the president and promoter of the com pany, r. N McCauley
 From the very start of the celebra. ton the entire reflection had from the occasion was that of the President. lt has been his work which has seen the company over the rough spots. It has been his work which success fully carried the financing of the cor poration 10 the present point or per lection It has been his untiring ener- ey which has carried the weak ones in the community on his shoulder at time when most men would have abandoned an hope and left for other parts. and it was his tireless work which made the celebration just com pleted. one of the most suspicious that has ever been held in the State Of Arizona.
