I Saturday, August 4, K NEW TOWN FOR BORDER Talk of One Springing Up Between Nogele and Naco. In tin' Arizona correspondence in the Los Angeles Kxaniiner of a recent date, appeared the follow ing: "For more than a year there has been considerable talk in railroad circles to the effect that a new town will spring up in A-izona on the international border that will ac quire a population of ten thousand people in less than three years after the first enterprise is estab lished. Not till this week was any thing definite known as. to the exact location or resources of the proposed town. -This week the information has been given out by railroad officials at Tucson that the Southern Pacific interests are preparing to establish oh the San Pedro river, about twenty miles west of Naco and about forty miles east of Nogales, a smelting plant that will cost $"), 000,000. Not long ago a Southern Pacific official, in conversation with a Nogales man, ventured the opin ion that the Cananea, Yaqui ltiver k Pacific extension, now being built south through Sonora, Sina loa, Tepic and Jalisco, to connect at Guadalajara with the Mexican Central, making a through line from Benson, Ariz., to the City of Mexico, would cross the inter national line between Nogales and Naco, at the point where the Sin Pedro river crosses the line. The news now given out to the effect that that the Southern Pacific in terests will erect a $.",000,000 smel ter at that point definitely settles the location of the much talked of town. "With such a smelter a- is pro posed, a town on the San Pedro at the cro-sing of the line, would grow with a rapidity .-eldom if ever equaled in the development of the t-outhwest. The proposed location is in the very heart of one of the richest mineral belts in Arizona and Sonora. A custom smelter of j large capacity is all that is re-! quired to insure the opening up of scores of mines by. mining men who lack the millions necessary to' establish such a plant. "In addition to being the center of a great mineral belt, the new town, if the Cananea, Yaqui ltiver fe Pacific railroad builds from Nacozari, Sonora, north to Penson, Ariz., will be a gate of entry to Mexico on a direct line to the City of Mexico. The Cananea, Yaqui ltiver Sc Pacific road has already been built east from Guaymas, Sonora, to a point on the Yaqui river, nixty-iive miles east of Guay mas, and is now being extended south from that point to connect with the Mexican Central at Guad alajara and north from the Yaqui river to Nacozari. The route from the latter point to Benson, Ariz., will be for the most part along the San Pedro river. There will then be two two towns in Arizona from which trains will run south to the City of Mexico Nogales and the proposed. new town." f.f yo lo.'lO rfhf on !h bulk of lie luff, Iff hiding trM tvMtrii iifid ffiediiliri !" k-M and feeder, good f df t ady, H!""d l rlioirn fed tuff li-idy to a fliade lower, cow 10 to lo lower, veal calve f.O rent' lower, Top K uiim gra Mcer old tliM week at I ..", f.tir to good grM ulrer, ;f h'O to J !.?", a f'-w Ark.iii:t Valley Colorado fed terra at $ "i.'JO to' $.".7o, Panhandle cow around f'J.7), calve -to. 7" to I ").-".
