CLIFTON, GRAHAM COUNTY.
Observations Prior to Writing Up
 Gold and Copper Mines.

Clifton, Alriz, Sept. 20.-CSpecial Correspondence of The Republican.)- Before proceeding to Clifton, three hours stay in Iordsburg, about fifteen miles over the line in New Mexico, afforded an opportunity to refer briefly to the southern terminal of the Ari- zona & New Mexico railway, which has it's northern terminal at Clifton. Lordsburg was once the distributing point of number of mines in New Mexico, now defuncl, when it pos sessed features that naturally led to growth. It is now a town of 300 in- habitants, the main shipments being cattle in seasons. Here is located the round house and the fine depot of the s. F., and office depot and shops of the A. & N M. Two extensive mercan- tile establishments, located in new bricks, are the main business houses There are several saloons, a grocery, physician, postoffice, lodgings and the Western Liberal, conducted by Don Kedzie, who does some legal work as well as edit weekly paper. Busi- ness with Kedzie has been good, judging by the style Of office he is about to settle down in for keeps L.. has lumber yard here, one of dozen he controls, including those at Phoe- nix and Tempe. The town came by it's name through the advent of MT Lord, who once upon a time conducted mercantile business in Lordsburg, at the time being associated with w. W. Williams, who is now a real es- tate broker in Tucson. MT. Lord Is dead. J. B. Jernigen moved to Lords hdrg from Tucson's famous wedge" and is now running the Silver Dol lar" in the new location.
 On our trip up the road to Clifton the passenger list contained, among others, the following people: D. M. Evans, Chicago, who was returning after making purchases of machinery for the gold mines at Evans point, up the Frisco, four miles north of Clifton; T. c. Evans, late of the editorial staff of the Las Cruces (N. M) Republi- can and correspondent of eastern pa pers, who is here to take charge of the postoffice at the company's store; Mrs. L. L. Brown and son of Santa Fe, N. M; the lady comes to take charge of the public school; B. Spitz, whose aim is to secure orders for Schultz & Son, Fl Paso merchants; he goes to Tucson and Nogales, possibly Phoenix; John Anderson, an employe in the motive department of the Arizona & New Mexico railway; MT. Anderson has been absent three months in Scot land settling up his brothers estate. He was cordially greeted by many friends on his return G. M Hickman, traveller for a Santa Fe warehouse. All these named are good people, whom it is a pleasure to meet.
 The A. & N. M. railway, narrow gauge, after paralleling the S. P. for a mile, runs westerly until it strikes the Gila river, which 1t skirts for miles in taking a northern course, to Duncan, small town just over in Arizona. Next is Guthrie station, a point where the train is cut in two. and then the ascent Of the mountains is made, on three per cent grade in many places. Sharp curves are turned frequently. Four short tunnels we shoot through and after half an hours run in this way the road fixes downward course to the Frisco sr

And as it Happened They Took Her
 Just Where She Wanted to Go.


 Just Where She Wanted to Go.
 It was his first vacation in five years He had been anticipating for a month and telling all his friends about it. You all know the man who hasn't had a vacation in five years who hasn't had day away from the office in all that time. He is so busy telling about his wonderful appMca- ton to business that the casual listen CT who hears it for the third or fourth time vaguely wonders why he goes away at all, as it subtracts from his repertory part that he loves to play so we'll Whatever his feelings on the subject may be, the fact re- mains that he was going to take a vacation of two weeks, and his wife was going with him. His wife was somewhat of a disturbing factor, as will be shown. After he made up his mind to take this vacation he told every enc he met about it, and, inci- der-allv, exploited the fact that he had earned it, as he hadn't been away for five years. Naturally the one to whom he ccrfided this interesting i'm fcrmaItion would inquire sympathet- ically:
 Where are you going for your out ing?'
 Here was where the wife entered as a disturbing factor. The man scratched his head and said vaguely:
 'sWell, you see, I don't know just yet. I want to go to the seashore. but my wife wants to go to the mountains, and we haven't decided which would be best, but" here he brightened up wonderfully and add ed, i've are going somewhere, as l need the rest"
 The wife being an unknown quan- tity, and her strength of character and fXedness of purpose being prob lematical, the friend would naturally be in doubt as to where the excursion party would eventually land. Aside from these brief bursts of confidence to friends and acquaintances the man went on preparing for his vacation, but seemingly did not reach any de- cisicn as ito where he would go. When he was leaving the office he was ask ed where he could be communicated with, and in reply he rubbed his chin refectively and said:
 l II tGl0Sidpu"yOu w haven't decided yet where we will go."
 While packing the trunks the dis cussion as to the terminus of the journey was continued. The trunks were finally packed and everything ready and still no decision. The man said testily-bcth had maintained ed their tempers wonderfully well un- der such trying conditions:
 Well, we have to go somewhere We can discuss it in cab going to the railroad station. We might as we'll go up there anyhow. We will have to go there anyway"
 So cab was called. On the way to the station the matter was discuss ed more fully. Arriving at the sta tion, they walked up to the window still unsettled as to the probable route. The woman, who had made no apparent impression upon her hus- bands will, said sweetly:
 ''Oh! do let us see what the tickets look like.''
 So she peered through the window at the huge ticket stand, and ran her eye up and down the different compartments. The man looked also Then the woman said 'enthusiasti- cally:
 EiOh! I like those pretty green tickets up there with the picture on

soon distanced tho crowd, and after three hours

him until Constable Taylor secured him. He
was taken before n Justice of the Peace at Glen
