CITY IMPROVEMENT STEADILY BEING
 FOLLOWED
City Council Determines Upon Build ing of City HalI; Street Construc-
 ton in Hi!PS Addition.

At the last meeting of the city council it was determined upon the construction of city hall, and the prepared estimate for the city's ex- penses for the coming year includes the amount of $4,OOO.OO for this pur- pose. While changes may be made in the plans at present considered, it seems to be a certainty that Clifton will possess a city building that will more fully fill the needs in that di- rection. The present. city hall lis in- adequate for the needs of the city, the space at times proving too small for various meetings of public na- ture that are held there.
 It is planned to have the proposed building contain rooms for the ac- commodation of the various depart ments connected with the city ad- ministration Part of the building will also be utilized as a city prison.
 At this time, no location for the building has been determined.
 Street Construction in Hills Addition.
 In line with a policy of street bet terment, the city authorities are mak- ing substantial additions to the street system of the city.
 At the southern end of Hills Ad- dition a number of men are engaged in the construction of a new street, the location of which begins at the high school building, and extends to the Arizona & New Mexico railway, crossing the railway at a point just north of the warehouses of the Stand ard Oil company.
 This street is 30 feet in width, and is being made by the excavations of portions of the hill sides along which it passes. The street will be open for traffic within a few days.
 This highway will be of the great est convenience to the residents of that portion of Clifton, where rapid increase of population is noticeable, and new residences are in evidence on every hand.
 The work is under the direction of MT. w. J. Bowman.

TELEPHONE SERVICE FOR
 CLIFTON
Mountain States Telephone Company Announces An Improvement Cam paign That Renovates Clifton
 System.

| Mr. R. E. Pilloud, district manager of The Mountain States Telephone company, with headquarters at Dem ing, New Mexico, states that his company is preparing for an improve ment campaign that will include the entire renovation of the system in Clifton, and that high quality toll lines will be built between Clifton and Morenci, and between Clifton and Duncan.
 The entire equipment of the pres ent service in Clifton will be discard ed, and in place of the old equip will be installed new equipment of the very best quality. The switch board will be replaced with a board that embodies the very latest de- signs. The new switchboard, as well as other equipment, will be of a larger size than that which it will re- place, as the management of the Mountein in States people has great confidence in the field offered by Clifton, and is planning for a great ly increased volume of business.
 All material for this enlargement and change< has been ordered, and is arriving daily. The present open wires will be entirely replaced with cables. It is estimated that this radical improvement will require sew eral months, the opinion of the man. agement being that the new system will be in operation about the first of the coming year.
 Not only in Clifton will the service of the Mountain States property be improved, for an extensive campaign is planned that includes connecting lines between Clifton and all points surrounding. Toll lines of the heav- fest construction will be built to Saf- ford and other points in the Gila valley, connecting with new lines being built from Globe. At Globe connection will be made with Phoe- nix and points in the northern part of Arizona, thus giving connection with all points in Arizona, New Mex ico and California.
 A copper line will soon be built to Morenci, making better the ser vice between that point and Clifton. Also within about one month connec- tion will be re-established between Clifton and Duncan, it being the in tention to temporarily use the pres ent line between here and Duncan. As soon as possible, a toll line of the best construction will be built to Duncan.
 These improvements will be great ly appreciated by the people of Cliff ton and this section, as a great de- mand for an extended service exists not only in Clifton, but between Cliff ton and outside points. The lack of long distance connection has long merce and size being of such import connection.

BARNEY BEACH Is MURDERED AT.
 S0L0M0Nv|LLE
Former Clifton Resident Killed By
 Step-son

Advices reached Clifton this week that Barney Beach, formerly a resi- dent of Clifton, had been killed at his home at Solomonville by his step-son, Howard Wight.
 It is stated that the direct cause of the killing was the chastisement of his wife by Beach, the son of the woman coming to her rescue. It is also stated that friction had for some time been between Beach and his two stepsons, the younger of whom committed the murder. However, no definite facts have been ascertain ed in regard to the killing.
 Beach lived in Clifton for a num- Der of years, and while here followed the horse racing business, often be- ing absent from Clifton for months at a time. He about six months since, married Mrs. Arthur Wight, who for some time conducted an eating house in Hills Addition, just south of the Hotel Reardon. The house in which the restaurant was conducted is yet in the possession of the family Arthur Wight, the for mer husband of Mrs. Beach, was at one time sheriff of Graham county, be fore the division of Graham at, the time of forming Greenlee county. Arthur Wight was killed by Mexi- can outlaws at Pearce, Arizona, about six years ago. It is said that many murders have been witnessed in the family of which Mrs. Beach, for merly Mrs. Wight, was a member. Barney Beach was at Duncan a short time since, attending the races held there, and left in the afternoon with an automobile party bound for Solomonville Shortly after reach ing that place, a telegram was re ceiyed by a citizen of Duncan to the effect that Beach had been killed by his step-son. The accused Wight boy is about seventeen years of age.
 Slayer Acquitted.
 Later reports received in Clifton are to the effect that the hearing of young Wight was held this week, with the result that he was fully ac- quilted, the opinion being that he was justified in the shooting, as the protection of his mother demanded that he interfere in her defense.

DfvE[0PMENTWORK RESUMES AT TWIN
 PEAKS MINE
Concerted Action by Stockholders has Begun, With View Toward
 Final Development.

This week witnessed renewed ac. tivity on the part of The Twin Peaks Mining & Milling company, at their properties some miles distant from Duncan, the object of the work being to thoroughly determine the mines possibilities.
 It is understood that Jos. Fraser, one of the managers of this prop erty, has lately returned from a visit to states in the North, where many of the stockholders reside, and there made arrangem ents for the resump- tion, on a large scale, of the develop ment which, because of insufficient capital, has been ceased for some time Work will at once begin on the sinking of a shaft, the intention being to begin at the bottom of a present shaft, the depth of which is about 300 feet, and continue until a total depth of 500 feet has been reached. Cross cuts, or lateralS, will be run from the different levels along the shaft, in an effort to sys- tematically locate the main ore-bear- ing stratas. J. Severn, for many years engaged in mining in this sec tion, will be in charge of the work, which will not be under contract, but under the direct supervision of the managers of the property. Con- pressors will be used for the extrac- tion, and will be operated by the engines that were installed some years since.
 Ample capital is now on hand to prosecute development to an extent that will finally determine the loca- tion of all ore-bearing stratas avail able. While the operation of this mine has been from time to time under difficulty, the stockholders have never lost confidence of finally reaching a stage of operation that would abundantly repay them for their investment. This mine IS in the same region as the famous Car lyle mine, which in early years pro- duced millions in gold and silver, and which is now the scene of much inter est among mining men. While Twin Peaks has always yielded, in all the working, a percentage of gold, the yield has been, usually, of a low grade, making unprofitable the transporta- tion to smelters. Construction was at one time begun on a mill on the mine site, but work was abandoned because of the stringency of capital, and the lack of definite information concerning the amount of ore to be obtained. The expectation of the owners is that low grade gold-bearing ore in large quantities will be dis covered, and should this expectation be fulfilled by the present heavy de- velopment, the construction Of the mill will at once be resumed IL, The present capitalization of The Twin Peaks Mining & Milling com pany is s1,500,000.00. about half of which is outstanding.
 New. Strike Steadily Producing.

has already been made by the state, former plans carrying state construc- tion no further than this point.
 Reports are that Barlow will re- turn to Clifton within two weeks, and, with the county supervisors call for bids for the construction of the road to lead from Clifton to Wards can- yon. It is probable that bids will be called for within 30 days. It is pos sible that four months will witness the completion of the entire road be- tween Clifton and the point to which the county contemplated building a distance of about seven miles from Clifton. The entire amount of funds from the staso to which Green1ee county i enL will he used upon the constr --5l- pad.

The property of the Fraser broth CTS, known as the New Strike, and a short distance from the Twin Peaks mine, has been producing gold stead fly for some time, and ore extraction is now in progress. The yield of the ore is very gratifying, being about s1,000.O0 to the car load, or about S4O.O0 per ton. All told, about four teen cars of ore have been shipped to the Shannon sme1ter at Clifton. This mine, which is owned fndepent- ently of Twin Peaks, is being steadily worked, and heavier operation is in cluded in the plans of it's owners.

GOOD BASEBALL TO BE PLAYED

IN ON.-Announcement is made that the Clifton and Morenci baseball teams will cross bats on the Clifton diamond next Sunday, September 13. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sep tember IS, 19 and 20, respectively, the ball team of Clifton will meet on the Clifton grounds the ball team from Silver City, New Mexico. The Silver City team has made a fine record this year, being the winners at present in the Copper League. Base ball is a sport that is important to any community, and liberal support should be given to the Clifton boys whose town pride and love of the true sport of the game, is enough to cause them to devote so much of their time in defending the championship that every citizen wants to be held by Clifton. A well-filled grand stand should be there to witness these com ing games.

EMMELINE HEADS THIS WAY.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 6-Emmeline Pankhurst, the English militant suf- fragist, has arranged to sail for the United States on October 4, according to iadvices here.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1913-03-19

The thought conveyed in the above
lines impressed itself upon the mind
of the Kennebec Journals represen-
tative when visitor came in and
showed him clipping from the New
England Homestead of last weeks is
sue that, in the form of a signed
communication from a subscriber in
New Ashford, Mass, told of Il man
and woman who had recently worked
that and neighboring Massachusetts
towns on the framed photograph en-
largement and development PROPOSE
ton, but who. having received orders
and part cash in advance had sud-
denly departed and the patrons Of the
pair had been swindled out Of their
money.
The strange but prepossessing
young couple had skipped with the
natives cash for parts unknown and
left no clues to their identity or
destination.
The Journals caller thought it pos
sible that the swindling couple of
whom the Ashford citizen complained,
is the same pair that visited Augusta
in May last year, working precisely
the same game. The caller was one of
the victims. He had agreed to have
an enlarged portrait Of his "A year
old deceased son made. for which he
was to pay $40 only, the cost of the
frame, the photo being made free. He
furnished a photograph, the only one
he had OF the young man, with the
! understanding that it was TO be re-
turned together with the enlarged

week or two the stranger again called
with an unfinished enlargement, ask
ing what changes the family desired

price agreed upon must be paid ia adj
vance To show good faith and help

gusta citizen gave the stranger the S.
and has never seen the priced photo
