WORK TO START ON SPRECKLES ROAD
New Line Connecting Yuma with San Diego Proposed
to Be Started at Once

Work will be resumed OH the
San Diego and Arizona railroad in
short time unless the plans of
President Spreck1es fail of accom-
plishment, arrangements having
been made for going ahead. Con-
Meeting the seaport city of San
Diego with Yuma, Arizona, it will
undoubtedly be a great factor in
the development of Arizona's S re-
sources:
The Douglas Dispatch, speaking
of the benefits to be derived from
the construction of this road, says:
While this information is of the
most vital Importance to San Diego
and assures the forging of a golden
chain to connect that city with the
rich productive sections of the
Great Southwest, and is hailed by
all forward looking citizens of that
community with utmost apprecia-
ton, it should be acclaimed by the
people of Southern Arizona with as
full measure of enthusiasm; for a
more telling instrument in the de-
velopment of this region than the
completion of this railroad scarcely
can be conceived. 1t means, if the
prophecies of those whose judg-
ment can be banked upon come
true, that Douglas will be trans
continental rail line, and that the
entire country traversed by it west
of here will be given an impetus
toward stable progress and advance
ment that no other agency can
supply.
The railway is designed to fol-
low the international boundary
eastward until the mountains have
been passed, then course north
ward through the heart of the fer
tile Imperial valley and make con-
nection with the Southern Pacific
at Yuma. This is the extent of
the present divulged plans, but it
is believed that Mr.. Spreckles'
vision embraces a wider scope of
accomplishment. It has long been
an open secret that he intends to
link the San Diego & Arizona with
the Ell Paso and Southwestern,
thereby placing the Sun City on a
direct line to Chicago and the. east.
To strengthen the prospect of
The Benson signal., 1916-12-02

That the outlook for the mining
success of Johnson was never bet
ter is borne out by recent develop
ments and based on the report that
the Cobriza Mines Development
Company, now operating the Re-
public group, under the able man
agement of Consulting Engineer
Halstead Lindsey and Superin-
tendent w. H. Galligan, have
made satisfactory development OF
new bodies of ore, assuring an in
creased output from that COM
pany's holdings.
One prominent engineer is re-
ported to have examined the work
ings lately and made the statement
that it is his belief that the real big
body of ore has not yet been cut,
but that all indications promise its
early exploitation.
The Arizona Michigan, which
adjoins the Cobriza, is now under
new management, since the retire
ment of former Superintendent
James Tong and Foreman Andy
Tong. Mr.. III. Pomeroy is now
the directing engineer, while Mr..
Trigger is superintendent. Both of
these men have splendid records in
developing mining properties to
success, and will be remembered
as having been connected with
Epes Randolph in the King of
Arizona" and other successful
mines. Shipments of twenty to
twenty-five cars of fifty tons each
are being made monthly of good
copper ore averaging better than S
per cent. which with present cop
per prices means substantial net
profit.
The recently installed plant,
costing more than SIS 900, is oper-
ating on two shifts, in both the
The Benson signal., 1916-12-02

this eventuality, it must be borne
III mind that there is nothing dear
er to the heart of Mr.. Spreckles
than the we'll being of tile city
whose present status of achieve
ment can be laid more to, his@indi-
vldual efforts than to the efforts of
all othef men combined. He has
flsked millions in gambling with
the destiny of San Diego and ap-
pears determined to risk many mil
lions more in order that her destiny
map lead to the greatness fashioned
for her in his endless dreams.
, This is not hobby with him but a
life desire that increases in inten-
sity with the success of each pro-
ject of his pushed to completion
for the benefit of the city.
Mr.. Spreckels has encountered
almost insurmountab1e obstacles in
his endeavors to hew an iron path
way through wilderness of hills.
The topography of the county
teens with difficult problems for
the engineer and disappointments
for the investor. Miles and miles
of tunnels have been cut through
granite hills and numerous sharp
canyons have been encountered.
The enormous expense has ex-
hausted the fund which at first
was thought sufficient to meet the
requirements, hence the steps to
obtain additional money. If he
does succeed in the enterprise
and it hardly can be denied that he
will-those who have scoffed and
criticised will be given a new
meaning of faith and loyalty.
The railroad will unite Douglas
and this great district with sum
mer resort without superior any
where, upbuild this part of the.
state, connect the military posts of
the border with the naval aero
nautic and army bases at San Diego
and revivify the whole western
border. Why should not southern
Arizonans get together and pull
for it withmight and main? There
is absolutely no reason why ex-
treme Southern California should
be alone in boosting for an under
taking that is so pertinent to the
we'll being of all the land within
the Gadsden Purchase.

Building Progressing

The outside work on the new
Goetz store building is now about
completed, and the inside work is
making good progress. When
completed the addition to the store
will double the size of the present
storeroom and will be fitted up in
an up-to-date manner, with latest
improved fixtures. The new cleo
trio light will be a great improve
ment and something in the way OF
novelty in Benson business houses.
A new cement sidewalk has been
laid in front of the new building,
which is a great improvement.

NEW ANGLE TO
INSURANCE ON
LOCAL Sc'., Sc''""' z"
President Meserole, of Pacific
Company, Says He Won't
Accept Cut Rates.
ALL BUSINESS MUST
CONFORM WITH STATE LAW
HuegeI & Clark Concern Is Still
Low-0uestion May Be
Settled Tonight.

Another phase of the school insur-
ance controversy. which In all proba-
blity will be settled tonight at spe-
cial meeting of the committee or
finance and legislation OF the Board OF
Education, came to light today when
c. V. Meserole, president of the Pa
cific Fire Insurance Company. at his
office, III William street. New York
stated that the company had author
lied no one to submit a bid on New
arz's public school buildings which
does not conform with the State in
surance laws.
"FFhe Pacific Fire Insurance COM
pany has always conformed with the
insurance laws OF New Jersey and IT
intends TO continue to do So" said
Mr.. Meserole, and the company has
authorized no one to submit rates
which do not conform with the exist
ing fire Insurance laws in that State.
We have no new schedule of rates to
file with the commissioner of banking
and insurance with view of securing
the public school insurance and do not
intend to do So
Rumor has heen that the firm OF
Huegel & Clark, one of the two low
bidders had intended to place a GER
tain portion of the school Insurance
with the Pacific Fire Insurance Com
pnny If the school board should award
the entire line to them. Neither J.
William Huegei or Alfred S. Clark
have either admitted or denied that
the above fire Insurance company is
included among the concerns that
they have stated have agreed TO take
a certain portion at n reduced rate.
When interviewed recently MT
CLARK stated certain companies have
agreed TO accept a certain portion
of the line at reduced rates. These
companies. according to Mr.. Clark,
are now operating under tho rates
complied by the State rating bureau.
He further stated that these COM
panies are ready to file new schedules
with The commissioner Of banking and
insurance. .i4
According TO an opinion given by
Thomas X. Johnston, assistant State
commissioner of banking and insur-
ance, "a fire insurance company must
first file "a new schedule Of rates be.
fore submitting bid or submit its
! bid in accordance with the schedules
now on file with State insurance de-
partment.
Mr.. Meserole. when asked. denied
that Huegel & Clark have been
In communication with the company
In regard to aceenting the line on
the school structures aegregating 81
500. 900 worth of insurance. He ad-
mitted that another local fire insur-
ance underwater had conferred with
him by letter in regard to tho mat
ter.
Huegel &. Clark offer to insure all
the school buildings at a rate of .l436
per 300 valuation for one year. which
is fifteen per cent, lower than the
rate quoted by thirty-one other bid
ders. The average rate is 1859 per
800 valuation.
