The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1901-04-25

TEXAS has again startled the entire
world, which is nothing new for the
Lone Star state, but this time ii is in
commercial channels. and is OF such an
extensive character that even the
Standard Oil company's very life is
threatened. II is all due to the new
oil strikes at Beaumont. The first
three gu-hcrs discovered there based
upon one-third Of the capacity usually
accorded them, produce as much oil As
thirty-seven thousand wells in the
east. The daily capacity OF these
three gushrrs Is six times the capacity
Of the wells in California, twice as
much as the Pennsylvania wells and
onc-half Of the entire production OF the
United States. and now that there are
five gu-hers and more constantly COM
ing in, some idea of the immensely of
this great addition to the wealth OF
Texas can be realized. The fuel oil
production of the world was about
1913. 600 barrels daily the day before the
discovery at Beaumont. In the Opin-
ion Of many experts the worlds pro-
duction will be increased 100 per cent
before the close of the present month.
and yet this is only the beginning OF a
new era for grand old Texas, the ex-
tent Of which is almost beyond imag-
nation. 1t means the cheapest fuel
on earth, which with the timber and
iron belts of that section will soon at
tract manufacturing institutions of all
kinds from all parts of the United
States. Few realize the Importance OF
this new oil discovery which has al
ready added wealth to the state of
Texas greater than the total capital
izatiOn OF the steel trust, which is
81, 100, OOO, 900. Arizona will be greatly
benefited by this new strike, for many
of her most extensive mining plants
are using California oil for fuel, which
will soon be forced out of the market
by the cheaper ana better article from
Texas.

1nnRE is considerable discussion
just now in the papers OF northern Ari-
iona anent the buildin OF Mineral
Belt Railroad" from Flagstaff to Je-
rome and Globe. Such line would
he Of great assistance to the camps
named, as it would materially lessen
the freight charges on coke, coal and
mining timbers. In regard to the new
enterprise the Flagstaff Gem says:
THE railroad would traverse the
richest mineral belt in the known
world. 1t would pass over the largest
pine forest on this continent. 1t would
tap the immense coal beds of northern
Arizona, which would be able To feed
the locomotive engines. and the gigan-
tic smelters of the west for centuries
to come. 1t would pass over quarries
of the most magnificent building stone
under the sun and sufficient quantities
10 supply the future generations of the
United States"
BY an extension of the G. V. G. & n.
Ry. from Solomonville to Clifton this
aiglt- he greatly benelited by
the proposed new line, as it would give
the camp new outlet to the coal and
timber fields of northern Arizona. A
more direct route, however, and which
would be of far greater bene6: to east
ern Arizona, would be line from
Clifton up the San Francisco river to
Gallup. New Mexico, penetrating the
finest timber belt on earth, and the
II l. -
This would be almost a direct line
from the timber and coal fields TO the
great mining camps of Clifton, Morenci,
Globe, Tombstone, Pearce, Bisbee ana
Arizona, and would quite materially
lessen the cost of mining in this Sec
tiOn. As the camps are developed the
demand for mining timber increases.
The local supply is fast being exhaust
ed, and it is becoming more expensive
year by year. The proposed line up
the San Francisco river would open up
new, rich and most beautiful country.
1t would afford transportation to the
Mogollon camp, which is most decided
iy the largest and richest miueralized
district OF New Mexico, now practically
dead because of its distance from a rail-
road. 1t would offer new outlet to
the east or west via the Santa Fe
route, and doubtless cheaper the rate
on all through freight, and also short
en- the time TO the east. Such road
would prove payer from the very
start. and it would materially assist in
the opening up and development of all
eastern and southern Arizona.

The School.

1t is perhaps not too late to sum-
monte the results OF the school.
The whole number of days taught
was 1884,. the total enrolment 224. and
the average attendance for the term
1l3. 1t may appear. taking the enroll
a very small one, but the disparity be-
tween the two is accounted for largely
by the attendance of pupils whose par
euts were not residents of the town,
great many of whom did not attend
exceeding a week. On the whole, we
think the average very satisfactory
one-more than We had hoped 10 make
it. With the uueXpended balance TO
the credit of the school. added 10 the
material increase in the apportion-
ment, due TO the increased average,
the fund for the ensuing year will be
sufficient TO justify doubling the pres
ent teaching force. This Is said in
view OF the new school building which
is expected to be ready for occupancy
at the beginning of the next regular
term.
As to the work of the school. moth
ing further need be said than that in
no sense was it failure. On the
other hand we do not say that II was
in any respect model or that the pro-
gress made was commensurate with
/ the best work.

hampered by lack of railroad transpor-
tation to the great camps, will soon
produce too much hay and it will drop
TO So and So per ton. There will be
money in it at that, but not so much
as in the past, and the farmer will then
turn his attention to fattening beef
cattle and growing hogs and chickens,
and a greater variety OF vegetables,
and then his real prosperity will COM
mence. He will discover all at once
that it will pay better to market his
hay in the form of fat beef and hogs
than it now does to sell it in the bale.
The MonteZuma Flour Mill, one OF
the finest institutions of the kind in
the territory, was erected last year by
home capital at a cost of $50, 900, and is

affords home cash market for all the
wheat that is, or can be, grown in the
valley, and it is likely that the farmers
will pay a little more attention to
wheat in the future.

more correctly speaking, the grand
father of the town.. f. Solomon,
would be an impossibility. Mr.. Solo

five or more years ago, when the near

Kansas. He discovered the valley Is

that he concluded to settle there, and
in this like his illustrious ancestor of
ancient history, he displayed great
wisdom. La those days, as all old
timers know, it was worth a kings ran
som to travel around the country. Mr..
Solomon is a man of courage as well as
Judgment, and when he makes up his
mind to do a thing he does it. In his
work of converting a desert into d
paradise he was most ably assisted by
his wife, who dared even the Apache
together they experienced many thrill
ing adventures and narrow escapes,
but they stayed with the valley, and
there they are today, respected and
loved by all who know them. They
were the pioneers, but they were soon

him that it would be idle to search
further, as he had struck an ideal To-

Does farming in the valley pay :?
Well, let Us figure little. Alfalfa
sells in the valley at from s. to Sl2 per
ton. II is cut FIVE times a year, and
Yields from one TO one and a-half tons
per acre at each cutting, besides fur
nishiug pasture for the rest OF the
year. The same bay is worth from SIS
to 500 per ton in Clifton, and many
farmers haul it in when they are not
busy with their crops, and make good
wages while doing so. Barley yields
from 20 to p sacks per acre, and sells
in the valley for about 81 30 per 100
pounds. Wheat, the finest on the con-
tinent, yields from % to 80 sacks per
acre, and sells for 81 10 per 100 pounds.
Corn yields from 40 To 90 bushels per
acre and is worth from Sl.00 to s1.30
per 100 pounds. These are the prin-
cipal crops of the valley, but farming
is yet in its infancy. Most fruits do
well, also sweet potatoes and all kinds
Of vegetables. Intense farming has
not yet reached the valley, but it will
come in time, and when it does. one
acre will produce as much as five acres
do now, and every acre will be little
gold mine. The present farmers OF
the valley are mostly men OF big ideas.
They farm by the wholesale and pay
no attention to small things. Even
hogs are not grown to any extent,
though they do well. Chickens, the
main-stay OF most farming communi-
ties, are not grown for sale. The fact
is that the farmer has done so well
