Man showing course of Dixie high
way from Chicago to Florida.

CHICAGO. Jan. 31.-over S1,765,-
200 expended in six months on the
Dixie highway alone in fifty counties
is the wonderful story OF progress
cleaned from the reports to date;
This is only a foretaste OF what WIN
be accomplished, as these countles
are preparing to spend $~b,SSl'VVv
within the next twelve months. as
the counties have not been selected
for special progress, but are IRON tne
states as they have reported, II Is
a reasonable assumption that they
are typical OF the average: lnes
represent less than a third of the to-
tai number of counties. using a
multiple of three you have an estl-
mate of over $5,300,00O spent on tne
highway to date. and over Szo,f9"'-
900 to be expended,
Another sign Of progress Is tne
large mileage Of permanent roaos
built or under contract. Fifty u
ties show that nearly a tenth OF the
entire mileage Is or Will be pavel
road. Using only a multiple OF two
to represent the other 112 counties
Won have a goodly portion OF the
road built for permanence. The pre-
variations being made for even great
re progress along this line are highly
gratifying. -
Some divisions of the highway are
planning paved roads for their en-
tire stretch. Notably among these
are from Chicago to Danville. ILL.,;

Exchange between London and New

Exchange between Berlin and New

The franc is at n discount in New

tsv AsaociArrp rsEss,.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-More than
$9,OOO,0 900 a pound would be the price
asked for radium were that quantity
Of the valuable metal available and
for sale at n time. Late in 1915
there was sold in this country one and
one-tenth grams of radium (element)
at the rate Of $780, 900 a gram, accord
ing to a report just issued by the
United States Geological Survey. The
entire output Of the United States last
year, howeverti was only six grams.
or about one-seventy-sixth OF a pound
avoidupois. The European was caused
a great slump in the production OF
radium, as in 1914 there were 22.3
grams produced.
THE United States has the largest
known administering deposits in the
world" says the Geological Survey,
"but the market for radium is mostly
in Europe, for, although Americans
like to feel that they are sufficiently
progressive TO take hold Of and use
to the full new discoveries, inven-
tons, and processes, yet the European
municipalities and hospitals have been
buying and utilizing most Of the rad
ium produced. When the war began,
therefore, causing European money
to flow into other channels, the de-
mand for radium fell off so greatly
that there was practically no market
for radium ores in the early part OF
1915, and very little market during
any part of the year.
As a result of the collapse OF the
radium market, mining Of radium-
bearing ores for such work as was
necessary TO hold claims, was nearly
stopped. Through the efforts of the
experts OF the United States Bureau
of Mines a process has been developed
by which radium has been produced
at a cost of s37. 500 a gram. The prin-
cipal fields OF the misunderstanding ores
are in Colorado and Utah.

ments.
"At that rate We shall have to issue
another loan in the lear future. The
six and q half billion francs In cash
produced by the loan issued in De-
cember will be spent by the month OF
April. BY that time nearly five bill
lion francs Of the money distributed
throughout the country will be avail
able for another loan that will be
noated under for more favorable con-
dltions. The Saloniki situation, which
was acute at the time Of u five per
cent loan, unquestionably frightened
big capital. This is well known In
financial circles and is borne out by
many facts connected with the loan.
For instance, the number Of subscrlb-
ers was greater in proportion to the
total amount subscribed than OF any
government loan issued in France.
Three and a half million subscrib-
ers took fourteen and a half billions
in bonds, or an average Of about 1000
francs each. The average OF former
loans was from 10000 to 100000 francs
each. This proves that 1t was largely
the small capitalist, the little trades
men, the humble classes with small
savings that took up the loan. An
other loan, Issued under circumstances
becoming every day more favorable
to France, will produce a greater cash
total, as / estimate that there Is at
the present time fourteen and one-half
billion francs In circulation in France,
Deducting the six and one-half billions
in cash subscribed to recent loans,
there are seven and one-half billions
unsubscribed to add to a considerable
portion OF the six and one-half billions
that will be in circulation again be-
fore n new loan is issued.
French loans are subscribed by the
people; that fact should be borne In
mind in comparing its issues with
those OF other governments. In Eng
land, Germany and Italy 1t is a bank
ing affair in which the big capital Is
Immediately Interested. Our loan was
not a great success under the circum-
stances since 1t brought out scarcely
anything more than the small savings.
The next one will reach the big In
.'vestors."

HUNT ADHERENTS ARE DEALT A
 HARD BLOW

PHOENIX, July 2.-The first real test of the strength of the supporters of Governor Hunt in Phoenix came on Tuesday when an ordinance pass ed by the city commission was sub- mitted to the voters at a referendum election. The ordinance in question provided for the consolidation of the offices of city clerk and city magis- trate, and will effect a saving of about $3,000 per year to the city, with out affecting the efficiency of the ad- ministration of the business of the city court.
 petitions circulated by friends of the governor, who desired to keep the present city magistrate in office re- gardless of what it might cost the city, as he is one of the chief SUD- porters of the chief executive.
 In spite of the fact that all of his henchmen in the city worked against endorsing the ordinance, and the further fact that the 'big white auto mobile" of the governor was used during the day to carry voters to the polling places, the action Of the city commission was approved, and the ordinance endorsed by vote of over three to u1e in its favor, the vat" standiu:, 345 in ;''-' =, IT. tinuing the sinecure Of office, to 64 in favor of consolidation and the sav- ing which it will produce in the ex- penses of the city.
 This result was made possible be- cause the merchants and the taXpay- CTS of the city generally became alive to the importance of the issue and took the trouble to vote in sufficient numbers to bring about tire over whelming defeat of those who still believe public office to be private snap.

CLIFTON OBSERVES FOURTH IN SANE
 MANNER
The Day is Spent al Home by Ma jority of Residents in a Quiet Man ner

Following the precedent set by sev- eral other towns in the state, Clifton enjoyed a safe and sane Fourth. In fact, with the exception of an oc casional firecracker, the significance of the day was all out overlooked. The principal places of business were closed as we'll as part of the works of the Arizona and shannon copper com panies and the employees enjoyed the day according to their individual tastes. The majority of the citizens. spent quiet day at home endeavoring to keep cool and consuming large quantities of iced drinks. Several auto parties iourneyed to different parts of the valley where they spent the day beneath the giant cottonwoods and in cidentally enjoyed plunge in the pla- cid waters of the Gila and Frisco.
 The carnival opened at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and many took occasion to visit the attractions offreed by the company. The ball game between Morenci and Clifton drew large crowd in the afternoon and the game seemed to be enjoyed by everyone. The picture shows as well as the car nival did an excellent business in the evening and the day was concluded without accident to mar it's pleasure.
 The dance given at the Princess theatre in the evening by the Wom- ans Democratic League was attend ed by large crowd and was one of the most enjoyable dances from every standpoint that has been given this season. The League netted good sum from the dance and the members are more than pleased with the sue cess of the undertaking. Ninety couples were present and tripped the light fantastic until a late hour, and the amount taken in by the League was $114.00
 It is also understood that num- Der of our most prominent Personal Users journeyed to Lordsburg on the morning train and returned in the evening with bulging suit cases, their supply of the cheering beverage hay ing been exhausted Taking the day as a whole it was one of the most quiet spent in the district for several years.
 A celebration no doubt would have been arranged for the Fourth but as the union men are making elaborate plans for big Labor Day celebration it was thought best to give up the one on the birthday of the nations inde- pendence. It is only pleasure de- ferred and the district will witness the biggest celebration in it's history if the plans of the committee in charge of arrangements for the Labor Day fiesta are carried out.

$2o,ooo FIRE OCCURS
 ON THE UPPER GILA

The Gila Farm Company suffered loss of $2O,O0O in a destructive fire, believed to have been of incendiary origin, which occurred early last Thursday morning at Nogales, small settlement on Duck Creek on the Mogollon road.
 A large corn crib, containing 500,- 900 pounds of corn, the entire crop harvested last year on the upper Gila, together with 100 tons of hay, was destroyed. The loss was total there be- ing no insurance.
 The fire will work sereve hard ship on freighters on the Mogollon road, who bought large quantities of corn and hay while traversing this road throughout the year. They now will have to carry large part of their feed along with them.
 Immediately following the fire, Thomas Lyons, of the Gila Farms company, telephoned the Sheriff's of flee here, requesting that the county bloodhounds be sent to the scene with a view to tracking the supposed incendaries, but the dogs had been taken to the southern part of the county the day previous by Sheriff McGrath to be used in running down the murderers of William Parks and wife, slain by Mexican bandits last Tuesday at their ranch home south west of Hachita - Silver City Inde- pendent.

MEXICAN KILLED
 Al NE W ID W N
Body Found This Morning With Bull let Wound Through the Heart-Offi- cers on Trail of Murderer.

The dead body of Roman Mesa was found this morning at Newtown be- hind Blackey's restaurant where the murder had evidently been committed Upon examination it was found that he was shot through the heart and as the body was found about 8 o'clock it is thought that he met his death shortly prior to that time.
 No cause has been attributed for the deed but it is understood that the dead Mexican was an all around bad man and he had evidently had trouble at one time or another with one of his countrymen which led up to the killing. The murderer's identity is not definitely established although the officers have a pretty good idea of who committed the crime and are working toward the end of his speedy apprehension, and it is thought that within a short time he will be behind the bars.
 No one seems to have witnessed the killing or heard the shot and the off, cers have but little to go on in their eff fort to round up the criminal

IMPROVEMENTS FOR TOWN ARE
 HELD UP
Proposed New Civic Projects are Held in Abeyance Pending Decision of Legal Technicalities.

The proposed improvements to the town of Clifton in which are includ- ed two new bridges, sewerage sys- tenn and city hall, have been halted for the time being owing to difficulties encountered from a legal standpoint in the bond issue.
 It is understood that when the law pertaining to a bond issue of this na- ture was placed upon the statute books the law makers had in mind towns where the homes and real es- tate are owned by the individual resi- dents and the majority of which is not the property of corporations. It appears that the taxes for a bond issue must be assessed against the req estate and improvements thereon if these are made by the parties who own the real estate. In the present instance the burden of the tax would fall upon but few while the major ity of the people who would benefit by the improvements would pay noth- ing. This would exempt from taxation nearly every business house and great many owners of homes who are paying ground rent to the com pany. Hence on account of this diffi- culty the matter of issuing bonds for the improvements is being held in abeyance awaiting a solution of the problem from a legal standpoint To this end the town council and Town Attorney Ling are now working.
 The different phases of the question were discussed at great length at a meeting of the council on Monday night and it was decided not to take further steps in the matter until their position was made clear and they could proceed with the work in satisfactory manner. The estimated cost of the improvements now being held up is approximately S1OO, ,00O. This would be divided between two bridges across the Frisco river, the estimated cost of which would be $75, ,000 and city hall to cost in the neighborhood of $25,000. It is hoped by the residents of Clifton generally that the tangle will be unraveled and that the improvements may be started as soon as possible
 At the meeting on Monday night a petition signed by some 300 names was presented to the council asking for the appointment of 15 extra depu- ty marshals. One was appointed for Shannon Hill and it was left to the discretion of the mayor to appoint others as needed.
