 Climax Jim," a somewhat noted cOwpuucher of the southwest, against whom several newspapers seem to have a particular spite, made THE ERA a pleasant call this week. He was free to say that a large number of indict- ments had been found against him in some Of the counties, but he alleges his innocence and says that some of the newspapers especially those of Graham county, have done him much harm, as ] luiH tsa0t i(AAICtAOuo eE aust IilIS anu caused many people to believe that he was altogether too handy with the rope and branding iron. Jim says that he has had so much trouble that he has about gone broke. While he was in | Solomonvilie as the guest of the county, considerable portion of his herds of cattle and horses were stolen, which he considers pretty low down | trick. He thinks a man who would steal from n neighbOr who was so un- fortunate as to be in jail, must be a pretty mean man. Jim is so disgusted with the whole range business that he has concluded to abandon his stock and come to Clifton to accept a situation in the cOnvcrters.
 Mir. Depee, of the firm of Harper X Depee, who have large contracts to supply the mines with lumber and logs. called on the ERA this morning. He says if feed stuffs get much higher it will be almost impossible to do business in this section without materially rais- ing the prices. Hay now retails at Sl.50 per hundred A railroad from Clifton to Globe and the Salt River valley would be a great convenience to the people living along the line, and at the same time would open up a new and extensive market for the farmers of the Salt River valley. The Phoenix papers are agitating q railroad to the coast. but direct line to Globe, Morenci and Clifton would afford them u better and an everlasting market. The road could be extended on from Clifton to the Mo- gollon mining district and make con- nection with the Santa Fe at SccOrro, thus shortening the through route of the Santa Fe to the coast by several hundred miles. Such line would con meet the biggest mining camps of the southwest, and would soon prove pay ing investment.
 Louis Reashau, of Ft. Thomos, ar rived last week to accept situation with the Arizona Copper company. He is said to be the oldest peace officer in Arizona, not in years, but in service. For many years he Was q scout under Custer, and today wears silver badge as a memento from that gallant old fighter. Louis is minus one leg, which was shot off in a battle with the north ern Indians. In lSS3 he was made bailitT at the court at Solomouville, by Ben. Crawford. then the sheriff Of the county, which position he has eyer since occupied. Sheriffs come and sheriffs go, but Louis it seems, is ;Nstayer. He was a deputy sheriff at Ft. Thomas for more than twenty years. Mrs. Reashau will arrive shortly to join her husband in their new home.
 A new county road is being built by the Arizona Copper company around the side of the mountain to South Cliff ton. The road runs between the com pany residences and the mountain. It is being graded and filled up and will be about three feet higher than the old road. It will prove great conven- ieuce to the travelling public and will do away with ali possible danger of collision with railroad trains.
