George B. Gamble, of Stafford, an old time Cliftonian, and by the way the next treasurer of Graham county, made the ERA call on election day
 MT. Gamble says that large number of artesian wells are now spouting in that neighborhood and that many more are being sunk. The flow is ob- tained at depth of from 25O to 600 feet, and after the first twenty feet the well passes entirely through a heavy clay, which is so tough that no casing is required. The wells there fore can be had very cheap, cost water has also been found in Bear val ley, and it is thought by many that it can also be found in the San Simon valley, one of the best and most ex- tensive valleys in the territory. The discovery of artesion water at Stafford has given a wonderful impetus to farming interests in that section, and the valley is rapidly filling up with new and thrifty class of people who have come in to make homes and open up new farms: The contiguous min ing camps makes farming in that sec tion as most profitable, and as the mining interests develop so will the demand for all products of the farm increase. In fact Graham county to- day offers better field for the farmer than any county in the territory. Here he can own and control his own water by an artesian we'll. This can not now be said for any other section of Arizona. Should artesian water be developed in the great San Simon val ley, which it no doubt will be, the San

KILLING ON THE BLUE.
A GOwpuncher by the Name of Posey
 Killed by Boy.

A man by the name of Posey, who claimed to be from the Indian terri tory, whose given name is not known. was killed on the Blue, about 60 mile from Clifton, one day last week. I seems that Posey had been in that section for short time last year, and at that time had some trouble with a young boy named Robt. Phillips. Pos ey then slapped the boy, whose fath- CT resented the insult and both men were prepared for trouble in case of a meeting, but Posey soon afterwards left the country, and nothing further was thought of the matter. Some two months ago Posey returned to Clifton While here he had t. ouble with a Mexican in east Clifton and each took a few shots at each other over some trivial matter but without effect.
 Just previous to the killing, Robert Phillips, about 16 years of age, had been across the road to a Mexican camp and had traded guns with them. He had left their camp and had got ten inside of his fathers yard when he saw Posey, riding on the running gears of a wagon, raise his gun to fire. The boy threw his gun up, and all re- ports go to show that both weapons were discharged identically at the same instant. The boy was not hil, but Posey was struck under the left arm, the ball passing through his body. However, he retained his seat on the wagon. Young Phillips fired four more shots, any one of which would have proved fatal before POsey fell from the wagon. MT. Phillips was not at home at the time, so the young man sent for the justice of the peace and refused to allow the teamsters or others to touch the body until the jul tice arrived. When the justice of the peace arrived preliminary exami- nation was had and young Phillips ac- quilted, the jury bringing in a yer dict of justifable homicide.
 These facts were gathered by the ERA from parties familiar with all the details, and can be considered as reasonably correct. It would seem that the boy was fully justified, and had he not fired when he did, no doubt his own life would have been taken. It is to be regretted, however, that one of such tender age should be en- gagged in such serious business.

Mrs. Cosper and family left We'd nesday last for San Angelo, Texas, on a short visit to relatives and friends. MT. Cosper, who came in with his family, reports the range along the Blue in most excellent condition and cattle fat.
The copper era., 1900-11-08

J. H. T. Cosper, a ranchman of the
 Blue, who spent a couple of days in
 town this week, made the ERA an in-
 teresting visit, and among other in- terestlng happenings related his ex-
 perienCe with wild prospector who stopped at hIs house one night last week. The man had come through
 from Colorado on a prospecting tour
 and was well outfitted, having a good riding animal and four pack burros.
 He asked to stay all night and MT.
 COsper showed him where he could
 sleep in the stable, but he said he was
 not feeling we'll and preferred to sleep in the house. He was put inlo
 a room with MT. Chain, forest rang
 CT. The two men COnversed some
 time, when suddenly the prospector
 jumped to his feet and lit a candle
 which he sat on the floor. He sad he
 was sick and flew out of the house on
 the run. After some conslderabl-
 uneasy over the strangers absence and called MT. Cosper. The two men and some of the neighbors searched he hills in the ne1ghborhood all the rest of the night but could find no trace of the prospector. The next day, however, he came into the ranch still looking pretty wild. He stated that he wandered around in the noun tains all night and struck the Blue next morning eighteen miles below. He had travelled about forty miles over very rough country and was pretty nearly playeu ou.. H. ac- knowledged that he was little off III the upper story, but stated In expIan- d lion that he had been reading sul pretty hard stories about the country, and after retiring he concluded that a job had been put up on him and that he would be killed unless he got out t once, hence his hasty exit. On the following day he packed his burros and came on into Clifton. He had been alone great deal in the noun tains and doubtless subject to ''loco" spells.
