Lost" Arizona Mines

OF all the legends of buried treasure
the most persistent Is the one about
lost gold mines of Arizona. Only the
Indians are. supposed to possess the
secret of this battling mystery, al
though the story has been circulated
for more than a century
That there once were mines in the
region is indicated by references found
In early Spanish diaries and by the
tales passed down through several gen
erations of natives who were com
PEELED to dig the ore as slaves of their
conquerors. The chief evidence in sup
port of the tradition is the altar of
the San Xavier mission, not far from
Tucson. 1t is described as being Sin
laid with virgin gold" Mission rec
ords show that the precious metal was
brought from Canada del Orc where 1t
was mined by Indians under the d.
rection of Spanish priests
But no trace now exists of the dig
gings, and the old trail over which the
gold is said to have been carried by
pack mules disappears abruptly In the
sands Popular Mechanics Magazine.

said, heaving sigh "Tll tell you

She expected to come with me. but
was prevented. To my certain knowl-
edge she put in enough to fill three
trunks the way a man would pack
them. II / open 1t, the things win

is proposed to distribute this
work, together with billing and
accounting, evenly throughout
the whole month. Thus more
attention can be given in indi-

With More Than Million Electric and
Gas Customers, New Plan is Necessary

A feature of the new system that will appeal
to many customers who use both gas and
electricity on the same premises will be the
use of single itemized bill, instead of two
bills each month as at present. to cover the
two services.
The change will involve certain variations in
the delivery date of bills, according to the
routes on which customers are located; also
in the period covered by the bills rendered
during the month in which, the change is
made.
Customers whose accounts are to be trans
ferred to the new system in October, instead
of receiving their September bills between
the first and sixth days Of October as ordi-
narily, will receive their bills for September
consumption in September, within few
days after their meters are read.
October bills for such customers will be rem
dered at various dates in October, depend
ing on the dates meters are read under the
new system.

Beverly banner. [volume] (Beverly, N.J.) 1877-1964, 1924-09-05

AS a result of the process of readjustment,
approximately one-haf of the October bills
will cover a period of less than one month,
about one-third will cover a period Of one
month, and the balance, or one sixth Of the
bills, will cover period of more than one
month.
All subsequent bills, after the readjustment
is made, will cover a period of one month
each; they will be delivered within few
days after readings are taken each month
and on approximately the same date every
month
Customer accounts to be transferred to the
new system in November, December or Jan
uary will be affected similarly to those
transferred in October, with allowance
made for the difference in time of the trans
action. Advance notice Of the month in
which the change is to be made in specific
districts will be given to customers in the
form of announcements attached to bills
