MOUNTAIN STATES TO
 BUILD NEW TOLL LINE

Foreman L. P. Dance and Q crew of men are just finishing up the sur vey of the new toll line which the Mountain States Telegraph and Tele- phone company propose to build from Fl Paso to Benson. He and his men have been working in the vicinity all the week and a day or two more will see their task completed.
 The line will be entirely new and supplemental to those already in use, with new poles. new wires. and likewise everything used !n construc- tion. There will be six wires. four of copper (No. wire) and two of iron (No. 10 wire), giving Benson and its connection points the benefit of an up-to-date service such as it mas never had before.
 Four crews will be put to work at once on construction, beginning on the section between Fl Paso and Deming. and probably others be- tween Deming and Lordsburg. The construction of this line is in pursu- ance of the company's policy of steady improvement and the sup plying of increased facilities for the transaction or business.-Benson Sig. nal.
