PLANS TO
 CONTINUE BUILDING
Mexico and Oriente Road in Northern Sinaloa Will Re-
 sunne Construction

According to information received by mining men operating in north esatren sinaloa. the Kansas City, Mexico and oriens railroad is ex- pected to resume building this sum mer east from San Pedro. the pres ent terminus. to the Fuerte river. The fact that J. L. Case, manager for the railroad on the coast. has just been summoned east. Is taken as confirm. sto.y of the story. He passed through Los Angeles few days since.
 At present the line is operating on ly to Fuerte, although rails are act ually laid fifteen miles further to San Pedro. and freight is delivered there for the convenience of shippers. The distance is about thirty-five miles to the river Fuerte from San Pedro and 116 miles from Topolobampo. From the Fuerte river it must be 100 to 150 miles to where the track coming out from Chihuahua now ends. whea the windings in the mountains are considered.
 | Last year the company built from Fuerte to San Pedro, which was the first actual work on the west end in four years. A train runs every other day and it is said to pay all expenses At San Bias the line crosses and con meets with the Southern Pacific, and if one strikes the connection right
 he can 20 from Los Angeles to Fuertf
 in three or four days, instead of as , many weeks.
 1 The business is chiefly in minin,
 machinery and supplies going in ans
 a little coming out, occasionally | There is limited amount of agricul i tural produce to haul.
 The grades hitherto have beeI

DEMOCRATS ELECT
 MAYOR OF CLIFTON

The first election in the newly created city of Clifton was held last Saturday. The democrats elected George Frazer as mayor. Three councilmen were won by candidates on the citizens ticket. Concerning the first election in Clifton the Cop per Era says:
 The city campaign was clean
 fight from start to finish and the
 good standing of each candidate cn the two tickets is clearly shown by the handsome number of votes that each of them received.
 The winners are George Frazer,
 mayor; Henry Hill, c. P. Dunn. c. 0.
 Btllingsley and c. A. Franz, alder
 men, A difference of only few
 votes either way, except fer mayor,
 would have changed results entirely. The following is the record of
 votes received by each candidate: Fer Mayor.
 George Frazer, 2s2; Archie Morrl son, 209.
 Fer Aldermen. Henry Hili, 253; c. P. DGnn. 256: c. o. Billingsley, 247; c. A. Fraatz, 243; C. r. Nolan, 242: Sam Abraham, 242; Dr. W. H. Tales, 233: Dr. l.. A. W. Burtch, 241.
 The result of the election was
 about as close as 1t could have been there being three men elected from the citizens ticket and two men from the democratic ticket. As had been predicted all the time. many O. the citizens of Clifton voted a split ticket. indicating that they were in | favor of the meE who they thought l would make the best men for tho place. and. judging from the way | each candidate ran, every man on | the two tickets were considered pret ty good material.
 tickets fought until the polls closed
 when the result was announced botf sides shook hands and were friend.
 again, the proper feeling that shoult always prevail in city or county af fairs. Everybody is satisfied wftl 1.-the result and our new town of1cefl will receive the cooperation of ever. citizen in the numerous duties tha they will be called upon to perform Mayor Frazer is one of the ok | residents of Cliftona nd his larg vote over Archie Morrison, anothe old timer, was a surprise to man Clifton people. Archie was indeed popular candidate. and had he bee running against another man tha ] l George he would have had clea
 sailing.
 The candidates who suffered defca are all feeling good over the result, as they all realized thst somebod ! had to lose. though their strong rae is q source of much consolation. Il Here's the best wishes to Hayc Frazer and Aldermen It'll, Billing ley, Dunn and Franz.
