A Distressing Accident.

Stafford, Arizona, Nov. 15.-Last Tuesday MT. A. Mullanox, a farmer living south of the river, was driving through town and in passing over d culvert he overbalanced and hit the ground. One of the front wheels pass ed over his head, cutting the scalp so badly that it hung by shred, reveal ing the bare skull. In the meantime the reins had become entangled in the wheels, and they being drawn taut, stopped the team, which backed so quickly as to push the wheel over his body, fracturing several ribs. He was picked up and his injuries prop erly attended to. It took 30 stitches to mend his torn scalp, but he is doing well at latest reports.

MINING MATTERS.
A NEW CoNCENTRAToR AND SHELTER
 FOR CLIFTON.


 Hermann Wolfe of Morenci for the grading of the ground for new con- centrating and smelting plant, which will be located on the San Francisco river about three miles below Clifton. The concentrator will have capacity of 100 tons daily and the shelter 50 tons. The concentrator will be em- ployed on ores from the mines of the Medler company, but the smelter will be erected for the accommodation of the public and will treat all smelting ores shipped to it. This will be a great benefit to the camp in general, as it will encourage all mine owners it the development of their proper ties. The work of excavating and grading for the new plant will be com menced next week. The entire plant was ordered some time since and is now in Chicago ready for ship ment. It will commence to arrive during the present month and will be assembled as rapidly as possible. It is expected that the new plant will be ready for business by the first of March. Clifton district is to be con graduated on this new enterprise, as it will give every man who has ore in sight an opportunity to develop his property on his own resources. Many miners are already arranging to com mence work on their claims on a more extensive scale than heretofore, and others will soon follow. The Medler company will also soon put an addi- tional force of men to work in its mines, in order to be prepared to sup ply the conCentrator with ore by the time it is ready to run.
 Lamar Cobb jr., Clifton civil en- gineer, drew the plans for the plant.
 CLIFTON AS A SILVER PRODUCER.
 For thirty years Clifton has been known as copper producer. Gold in considerable quantity has also been produced in this district, but 1t is not generally known that the camp has also produced considerable silver. In conversation with MT. N. Cole this week a representative of the ERA was informed that only in the sos con sideral amount of silver was produced here. MT. Cole shipped the first sil- yer ore out of Clifton in 1888. It was taken from thew onderful mine, about a mile from North Clifton, and in sight of town, and was shipped to the Fl Paso sampler, at that time the nearest for such ores. Some of the ore ran as high as 900 ounces, but averaged on the shipment 57 ounces in silver and AT per cent lead. The property then belonged to Lew and John Friend, and is now owned by MT. Lefave and is still being worked for lead and silver, but also carries some gold. MT. Cole also had a lease on the Twig mine in Silver Basin, from which he took considerable amount of rich silver ore, some of which aver aged 25O ounces per ton by car load i lots. He also worked the Galena on ! Gold Gulch, now owned by w. F. Ha- gan, from which he shipped ore aver aging 32O ounces in silver, and some of the shipments of sulphurets ran $500 in gold. In all, he thinks at least |

NO SIOpluS IS DclnS uOnc, Iuc WOIh K being confined altogether to raising, sinking, drifting and blocking out large ore bodies. The mine has been under the management of MT. Climo since February last, when the new company took hold of the property, and has made a most wonderful show ing in that time MT. Climo considers it one of the big mines of the district. For many years MT. Climo was man. ager of the Treasure Mining company of Pinos Altos, and it was under his supervision that the development of the Deep Down and Atlantic mines was done. The mines had proven a failure up to the time MT. Climo took hold of them, but he soon had them on a paying basis and while he remained with them they paid dividends amount ing to more than S8OO,OOO. MT. Climo has seen all of the copper camps of the west, and says thatClifton is by all odds the greatest in area and richest of them all.
 
 STATES.
 Col. P. R. Smith, accompanied by George M. Jacocks, owner of the Pea body mines and president of the Fed eral Copper company of New York, which is now erecting an immense smelting plant at Fl Paso, arrived in Clifton Friday last on a prospecting trip. MT. Jacocks left on Sunday for Silver City, where he will close deal for the Hanover, one of the big cop per properties of that section, which now changes owners for a large sum of money. The Peabody, which is an Arizona mine, last year paid some thing over $3OO,OOO to its owner. Col. Smith is one of the best known and most successful promoters in the southwest. He has brought more money to the southwest, and has been the means of opening up more good enterprises than any other half dozen promoters now operating in this sec ton. MT. Smith has never vet failed to place an en ,erprlse which he took hold of. and in nearly every instance, especially when handled in an intelli- gent manner, his enterprises have turned out well and have been big money makers. MT. Smith placed the Shannon mine, of this district, which is now being rapidly developed and promises soon to be one of the big producers of Arizona. He is most en- thusiastic over the Clifton country and is free to say that he considers it the biggest copper camp in the United States. He predicts that in less than five years it will be producing more copper than any other camp on the continent. He says that there are forty or fifty big mines in this district that, if located in Colorado or Mon tana, would soon be the talk of the whole country. MT. Smith is on the market for good properties and will remain here several weeks.
 It is announced that an amalgama-

Stratton and Merrill Elected.

The board Of supervisors were in session at Solomonville Tuesday, and canvassed the election returns, but the ERA has not as yet been able to secure the complete returns. It is announced by telephone that Strat- ton beat Jones by 46, and Merrill lead Wood by only 10. The tabulated statement from all the precincts will be printed in the ERA next week, and it would be well for those who take an interest in politics to cut it out and file it away.
 The republicans elected are Lee N. Stratton, district attorney; Thomas Smith, recorder; Henry Hill, super visor for four years; Robert Nash, sur veyor.
 MT. Alexander Veitch and Miss FL sea Payne were married Monday morn- ing last, Rev. B. c. Meeker officiating, and immediately took the train for the east.

It is announced that an amalgama- tion will soon be completed between the Guggenheims and the American Smelling & Refining company, which it is claimed will be a great advan- tage to the silver producers.
