BETTER ROADS WILL MAKE SUMMIT
 POPULAR
Old Sawmill in Finals to Be Scene of Numerous
 Family Picnics

By reason of the fact that the roads leading from this city to the summit of the Finals are being put in good shape by the forest service, this dis trict will probably be one of the most popular camping grounds of the district during the coming summer.
 The old wagon road leading well up into the Finals, generally known as the old sawmill road, is already in fairly good shape, having been repaired by Mexican woodchoppers who bring in fuel from that part of the district. From this road, the forest service is improving a trail leading to the sum- init and along the sky line of the Finals west of the city, putting this trail in such good condition that an automo- bile can make the entire trip from Globe to the summit, without difficulty.
 Already a number of Globe people have taken advantage of the liberal ity of the forest service and leased ground on the summit, upon which they will erect cabins for the summer. Water is in abundance within easy reach of the camping grounds and the natural beauties of this district make it an ideal spot for spending the hot summer months.
 An attempt was made last summer to have the road leading to the summit inn proved, but the work was never carried out. As the entire road will be in good condition within the next few weeks however, many Globe families will spend the coming summer among the ! cool pines at the summit of the Finals

FUNERAL 0F LOCAL CHINESE A BIG
 FUNCTION
Body of Sam Kee Followed to Cemetery by Entire
 Chinese Colony

By far the most pretentious Chinese funeral ever seen in this city was that held over the remains of Sam Kee yes terday, by the friends of the late well known local merchant,
 Practically every member of the To- cal Chinese colony took part in the services. The remains were viewed by huge throng at the undertaking par Tor of F. l.. Jones X Son, and at both the Chinese joss house and the cemetery even larger crowds attended.
 Sam was a member of the Chinese Masons and more than the usual cere, mony marked the funeral. The Globe city band headed the funeral process sion, the usual distribution of "devil tickets "-paper slips perforated with holes through which in the belief of the Celestials the evil spirits must pass be fore they can reach the deceased, and the beating of tom toms marking the proc ession.
 At the cemetery the personal effects of the deceased were burned and it is said that a diamond which had been left in a shirt which was consigned to the funeral pyre was appropriated by spectator. The customary viands were also left in the cemtery.
 Although the customary Chinese fun eral rites were fully carried out, the re mains were not inferred. They will be held for few days, after which they will be shipped back to China for bur. ial with the bones of Sam Kee's an cestOIs.

Copper Hill Extension Will Reach Superior & Bos-
 ton by April 1
RIGHT OF WAY MAY
 DELAY COMPLETION
Completion of Entire Line Should Be Reached in
 About Six Weeks

By the end of the present month, the new Arizona Commercial railroad, will be completed to the point where the right of way cuts the Superior X Boston property, little more than a quarter of mile from the end of the line.
 The construction of the Copper Hill line has proved to be a rather diff cult piece of work and as the result, progress in the building of this line has been necessarily slow. At the same time the work has been done very thor oughly as far as the grading outfits of the Crandall Contracting company have proceeded and when the road bed is opened up in it's entirety, it will be completed throughout.
 The track laying gang of the Arizona Eastern railway is following close on the heels of the grading outfits and it will be matter of but short time after the road bed is completed until the steel is in place, ready for the formal opening of the line.
 Just when the road bed will be en- tirely completed is is yet matter of conjecture, owing to the fact that a difficulty has arisen between the rail road company and the Superior X Bos- ton Mining company, regarding the right of way across the property of the latter company. The Superior X Bos- ton is holding out, it is said, for the construction of a spur from the new line to their property, as part of the con sideration for right of way over the property of that company. It is thought that this matter will be satisfactorily adjusted before the road bed is com pleted to that property and that the grading outfits can proceed without in terruptiOn
 Of the road bed to be constructed, the chief work remaining is in a heavy cut something over LOGO feet from Copper Hill This cut will necessitate the removal of about 2,500 cubic yards of earth and as only small force of men can work in the cut, something over a month will probably be required for it's completion.
 Six weeks of active work will, it is believed, complete the entire road bed and unless the work now in progress is held up, the road bed should be finished and tl'rned over to the company by the middle of next month.
 The completion of the new Copper Hill line will be of great importance to the entire Copper Hill district, mean ing as it does, new and better trans portation facilities, both with regard to freight and passengers for that part of the Globe district. As the result the opening of the new line is being eagerly awaited and will mark quite an epoch in the history of the mining dis trict lying to the northeast of this city.

PRESIDENT J0LL|ES THE PRESS AT
 BANQUET
Chased by Motor Police and Otherwise Spends Busy
 Day Yesterday

NEW YORK, March 22.-After opoIogizing indirectly for his strictures on "statesmen correspondents re- centlv in Chicago, President Taft, in a speech tonight before the Press club, declared that the severe criticisms of the press made him feel that even hav- ing his picture where it could never be taken down, beside "Teddy 's, ,' Cleve- land 's and LincOln's, on the White house wall, was no consolation for be- ing president. But he believes long ex- perience with criticism will make it hurt less.
 Defending his habit of travelling, which has also been criticised, the pres ident said:
 "When you are being hammered as l have been at Washington, not only by the press, but by members of my own party, and feel there's nothing right you can do, it's a pleasure I will not forego. to visit city that has not seen a president in twenty years, and makes you feel somebody's your friend, for while at least.'
 The president had strenuous day. He was chased by motorcycle police through Central park. His automobile was leading the fastest race Fifth ave uue has seen in many days. He lee tured an assemblage of editors at the home of Clews, discussed the far east and return of Fairbanks, conferred with county political leaders and ad- dressed two banquets tonight, besides visiting the Press club this afternoon.
 After the Clews reception, it is said the president had heart to heart talk with editors regarding recent criticisms

CRITICAL Although Resting Easily, Extent of Louis Berndt's
 Burns Undetermined

Although late last night he was re- ported to be resting easily at the coun- ty hospital, Louis Berndt, who was ter ribly scared Monday noon by falling into a quantity of blazing roof paint, is still in a critical condition and the outcome of his injuries is still in doubt
 The extent of MT. Berndt $ injuries is so great that the crisis in his condition is not expected for some time. It is believed, however, that the chances are rather in favor of his ultimate recov- cry.
 It is probable that in the event of his recovery, a considerable amount of skin grafting will be necessary.
