Rail routes and depot plans tie Contention City to future rail link
SiPage Edition reflects Daily Star notes a 175 foot depot being built at Contention City and debate over whether the railroad will reach Tombstone. The air line through the city limits and surveyor Earl’s assurances suggest a direct Deming to Benson route, potentially forming an airline to Calabasas and turning south into Sonora. The line would connect Arizona’s mining districts and boost population and company profits, with arrival years hoped if not this year.

Teller Plan For Silver Bullion Certificates Bill
The bill by Senator Teller would let holders deposit silver bullion in 1000 ounce lots with the U S treasurer and receive certificates worth not less than 26 each, payable on demand in coin or US notes and receivable for customs taxes and public dues. It also allows silver dollar holders to deposit and receive 1 and 2 dollar certificates until 61 000 in total is issued, receivable for duties. Bullion deposited would be coined as fast as feasible without delaying gold coinage.
