s. F. WILL LAY HEAVY STEEL

The Santa Fe this week has a force of men and a train crew distributing steel rails of heavy weight along the railroad around Kingman. The rails will displace the lighter steel. It is expected that the track between King man and McConnico may be doubled, and that it is possible that it will be continued to Berry, six miles east of town. The road has shown a congest- ed condition through this section and it will require additional trackage to prevent the tying up of many trains here nearly every day.-Kingman Miner.

Prentis Dill as Masters de- gree in the department of architec- ture, University of Arizona. Inas- much as the old mission represents a distinct period in architectural prog ress, the results of MT.
