LAUDABLE MOVE
 RESTORES OLD HIGHWAY
(From Thursdays Oailv.)

l l SQdy N.I
 The historical Black Canyon stage road between Prescott and Phoenix. is to be reopened to traffic and work will start immediately, under orders of the board of supervisors of this county, with County Engineer Mer- ritt in charge it was learned yester- day.
 This highway had not been used for many years, and the movement to restore it to condition of usefulness again, arises from mining progress throughout the country it will tra. verse. livestock, commercial, and gen eral industrial advancement now pre- vaili1g from Mayer to the boundary line of Maricopa county, with the Tip top tungsten country attaining mark ed prominence through many new camps being established and heavy production beginning.
 The working program outlined by Engineer Merritt is as follows. To start from Arastra creek, going south toward Goddard on the left hand side of the old grade, thereby avoiding Black canyon. until point is reached where the roads fork. making a new grade of about AZ miles. This route will eliminate old and heavy grades used in carly days. and will also be oi advantage from an upkeep standpoint
 Mir. Merritt also stated that this strip will be open i1 about three months and will be the main work to be performed for the present. From Goddard to the county line near Gil lette light repairing will make that strip boulevard. Mayer, it is stated will be the starting point for reopen ing the old route, and the placing of Turkey station on the main highway has been set aside.
 Ire conditions which prevailed in early days of staging and freighting between Prescott and Phoenix so far as the old route figured. are to be ob served, which places Mayer. Cordes, | Rumble Bee, Goddard and other southern points on the main line. An other advantage will arise by the re- opening of the old route, in that the distance between Prescott and Phoe- | nix will be exactly no miles as against l4S miles by the Wickenburg route, with far more desirable road l way, for auto traffic particularly. Re pairing of the old road starts in . few days out of Mayer, and a big force goes to work on the heavy work near Black canyon carly next week.

(From Fridays Daily.l

President F. s. Velie of the Arizona Power Co.,. yesterday announced tha; construction of a new transmission line out of Walker to the camp of the Big Pine Mining Company. is under headway. and will be in operation probably inside of 30 days. The dis tance will be about four miles, and intervening camps can readily be con 1ected up in the future
 The Big Pine has signed a contract for l50 horse power daily. It is also quite probable that two other camps in that field will be electrical patrons in few months. according to reports The price of copper wire of base sizes has advanced 10 B cents per pound. from F cents per pound few years ago. which makes power line building practically prohibitive, ex cept under urgent conditions.
