Southern Pacific abandons Gila Canyon route in Arizona rail plans
Rumor spreads that Southern Pacific will bypass the Gila box canyon between Winkleman and San Carlos. A new transcontinental line may run from Queen Creek to Silver City, N. M., via Superior and the Gila valley, connecting with the Deming branch. Thatcher, Duncan, Morenci, and Clifton would gain rail access, with farming and mining districts boosted by the route.

Arizona State Treasury Faces Deficit and Warrants
The Arizona state treasury projects a 1913 deficit of 75 000 dollars after absorbing a 300 000 dollar deficit in 1912. Treasurer David I Johnson registered warrants totaling 300 000 dollars since June, with payments to national and regional banks made from tax money for 1912. Interest on warrants runs about 3 000 dollars annually, and receipts from 1912 taxes are expected to total around 1 250 000 dollars to cover expenses. 75 000 dollars in warrants are planned to be registered for 1913, reducing a future shortfall by 225 000 dollars. Additional revenue comes from corporations, audits, and state offices, with major upcoming costs including a special legislative session and the free school-book law.
