Great Loss by Fire in Morenci.

1dSL rIludy d message Cdme over
 the wires from Morenci that the D.
 c. concentrator was on fire and there
 was no hope of saving it. The D. c. company have two large concentra-
 tors, one at their shelter, built sever al years ago, and one at the mines,
 built recently. The latter is one of the best constructed mills in the Ter ritory; is of 800 tons capacity and has in it the latest up-to-date machinery. It was erected at a heavy cost, as no pains or expense were spared to make it first-class in every respect. At first it was reported that this was the mill that was on fire, but later it was as- certained that it was the old mill at the shelter.
 The fire originated from a large slag pot, which was showed too near the frame work of the building while filled with molten slag; and after it got fairly started there was nothing to do but let it burn, as there was not sufficient water to be had to extinguish it. The fire was discovered during the noon hour, while most of the workmen were away, else it might have been brought under control and the build ing saved.
 In addition to the concentrator, the l old power house and machine shops were completely destroyed together with large amount of coke and coal and cord wood. The furnaces and | converters were injured considerably but not beyond repair, while the new power house, containing the large | Westinghouse gas engines, was not hurt at all.
 The actual loss to the company will not be near so heavy as at first stated, | footing up not more than from S75, ,000 | to s1OO,OOO, but they will sustain con- structive loss that will fall quite | heavily on them, as it will be several | months before they will be in shape to produce copper again. In the meantime a large number of employees of the company will necessarily be idle, or compelled to go elsewhere for employment. Quite a number have already gone.
 Owing to the lack of. water with which to extinguish the smouldering fire, which is still burning slowly, the work of clearing of the debris for re- building is making slow progress; but soon this will be done when a large force of skilled and unskilled labor will be put to work to carry forward the work of reconstruction. A much more complete, substantial and larger plant than the burned one will be erected.

The Fourth in Clifton.

The 124th anniversary of Indepen-
 dence has come and gone. When
 reville was sounded of and "Old
 Glory" raised to kiss the morning ac-
 companied by the usual salute, it was
 then that Clifton had answered to the
 roll call and proved her loyalty to
 that famous band of men who stood
 shoulder to shoulder and gave to us and our children the heritage justly termed 'The Little Deed of Liberty" 1"
 The committees having charge of the ceremonies incident to the com memoration of the day, set about their task in a matter-of-fact way, and the results proved their work of superior excellence. Nothing was left undone to make this celebration the red letter one in the history of Clifton.
 The programme arranged by the amusement committee was carried out with one or two exceptions to the very letter, and the disappointments incident thereto were unavoidable and beyond the committees control.
 Apropos to the occasion, the amuse- ment committee, both individually and collectively, desire to express their sincere thanks to MT. Murray Innes, assistant superintendent of the A. c. company, and MT. B. M. Will Hams, manager of the mercantile de- partment of the A. c. company, for their kindness toward the commit tee and for favors granted.
 At sunrise, the morning gun was fired by J. c. Thomas and Old Glory was unfurled to the breeze by Henry Hill, who, by the way, must have the honor of conceiving the 4th of July celebration, for it was by his efforts that the meeting was called together for the day. The band circled around the flag pole and played several na- tional airs-by that time Clifton was awake. The national salute was fired on the ball ground by Dick Fritz, the blacksmith, and assistants, and thus was the festivities of the day ushered in. The parade followed under the marshalship of Judge Munro. The Knights of Pythias, having the right of line followed by the Mexican lodges and civilians. Judge Munro had for his aides Messrs. Townsend and Her ron. The route was covered as laid down on the programme and was dis missed at the grand stand built on the lawn tennis court. The literary ex- ercises began with MT. c. M. Shannon in the chair, who introduced the Hon. M. J. Egan, who read the Declaration of Independence and who also made some very timely and interesting re- marks, which were listened to -with rapt attention by all present, on the history of the document which he so ably read; after which the Clifton Glee Club sang the Star Spangled

About 20 per cent of the men who
blocked out whiskerS last week will be
in again tomorrow for a shave. Some
of them are ashamed of their whiskers
perhaps it's the color, or the light
crop they don't like, or maybe they
have been guyed by their friends and
can't stand the joshing. Young married
men, who block out whiskers for the
first time never go the route. Their
wives don't like boards, because they
think man looks older with wills
