Arizona republican., 1910-12-31

Announcement was made yesterday at the local offices of the Arizona Eastern that the controversy of some months between the railroad company and the old Dominion Mining company regarding the right-Of- through the old Dominion property having been settled in a compromise just effected, preparations are to begin at once for starting work on the construction of the line out of Globe with Durango, Colorado, as the ultimate destination.
 The only ground yet to be secured for the right-Of-way. it is stated, is that of the Globe Hardware company The railroad company considers that the price asked is eXOrbitant, and will probably institute condemnation pro- ceedings. It is claimed that the rail- road company has already spent over SlOO.O00 in acquiring a right
 Incidentally another announcement was made that the first of the year would witness the commencement of the actual work of constructing that portion of the Arizona Eastern to be known as the Hayden cutoff, surveys for which have just been completed This calls for the rebuilding of the main line of the Arizona Eastern from a point near Burns station through Hayden and verging back to the main line about three miles east of the pres ent site of the town of Winkelman. The construction of this line will con- siderably shorten the present line and will in addition place Hayden on the main line.
 As regards Winkelman this project will mean the abandonment of the pres ent site and the probable springing up of new tOwnsite on the mesa north of the present structures and some distance back from the Gila. Probably the Winkelman and the Hayd en of the future will be so closely situated as to be practically contiguous. mutual eX pansion ultimately meaning a cOnsoh- dation of the two.
 Tn a few days work will begin at Kei- win. working toward Hayden Junction of relaying about thirteen miles of the present track with seventy -five-p pound steel. which is the same class as that employed in the most modern railroad construction of today This complet- ed. the entire line from Phoenix to Christmas. including the new cutoff, and from Phoenix down to the Hassa- yampa. will be the best possible con- structiOn.
 With the completion of the cutoff. the present mainline right Of-way which borders on or passes through the Ray Consolidated property will be filled in with tailings from the big cOncen- trator now under construction at Hay den. A spur from the main line will also be run to the tailings dump and these tailings will be utilized in one way or another.
 It is expected that wing of the big concentrator at Hayden will be in op- eration about February 15. In this event. and pending the completion of the shelter. work upon which has al- ready begun. the concentrates will like ly be shipped to the smelter at Fl PasO. The Arizona Eastern is already making arrangements for the handling of these concentrates.
 According to Daniel c. lacking. vice president and general manager of the Ray Consolidated Copper company. upon the occasion of his recent visit to Phoenix, the cOncentratOr is we'll along. and portion of it at least will shortly be in operation. As to the smelter. he stated that it will be sev- eraI months before it can be utilized. It is expected that the hundred steel cars ordered some time ago, each hav- ing a capacity of siXty-tons. will be on hand in time to be used in the ship ment of ore from Ray to Hayden.
 Plans are now under way for the construction of a number of stock cor rals to be located along the Arizona Eastern one will be located at Field spur. another at Fowler, one at Buck eye and another at Hassayampa At Buckeye a modern station building and agents residence will be erected, this combination structure being after prac- tically the same plans as are employed along the main line, and calculated to
