CLARK ROAD A CERTAINTY

In recent interview with Will L. Clark. assistant general mana ger of the United Verde Copper company, MT. Clark gave assurance that the railroad between Flagstaff and Jerome would be built.
 When questioned regarding the surveying of a route for a railroad from Flagstaff to Jerome by Sena- tor Clark, MT. Clark said that the senator had men at work now on the survey, but that a survey did not mean that the railroad would be built at once; that after a feasi bls route had been established there would be great deal of work to be done, such as securing rights of way, etc., before actual railroad building could he started, and that while in time a road would un- doubtedly be built between Flag staff and Jerome. when such a road would be commenced and finished was al yet very uncertain.-Coco nino Sun.
 While the NEWS does not profess to know just which way the Clark road will be built, this paper is, however, in position to say that Williams has as good a chance to get the road as Flagstaff has, and if our wideawak citizenship will make an effort, we believe the road will be built to William nos.

His report, when it is finished, will be forwarded to Attorney Gene ral Bon- aparte.
