Murray agreed to supply half of the capital, with Disraeli and John Diston Powles, a City speculator, each contributing one-quarter.

The "Times" is a direct descendant of many of Beaver County's newspapers, starting with the "Minerva", first published in 1807, and generally believed to have been the county's first newspaper.

It was changed again to "The Daily Times", which was published from 1909 to 1946 and operated by John L. Stewart and
