DR.. J. c. Davis, a celebrated special
list, who located here last week, found
that Clifton climate did not agree with
his ideas of comfort, and left Wednes-
day morning for Silver City. where he
will locate permanently. The doctor
seemed to think that the climate here
was just trihe too caliente for gen
tleman of his cOrporosity. During his
short residence here he made many
friends, all of whom regret that he
could not adapt himself to our spring
climate.

In this issue will be found the adj
vertisement of the Clifton Copper Com
pany, offering a limited number of
shares OF the treasury stock of the
company at 81 per share. The prop
erty of the company is located at Santa
Rita, New Mexico. 1t is a home com
pany, organized and operated by home
people, the majority of the stock being
owned at Silver City, Deming, Lords
burg and Clifton, though some of the
stock is held in New York city.
Readers OF THE ERA are more or less
familiar with the history and develop
ment of this property. y number of
Clifton stockholders have visited the
mines, and all brought back most
favorable reports, not only as to the
mines, but also as to the local sur
roundings for economic operations.
The mines are located directly on a
branch of the Santa F'e railroad, giving
a cheap freight rate to the smelter at
Silver City. There is an abundance of
wood in close proximity to the mines,
which can be had for 81 per cord or
even less, and there is also said to be a
sufficient amount of water already de-
veloped to supply the concentrating
plant which is now being erected
along side of the railroad, and adjoin-
ing the working shaft of the mines.
The ore passes directly from the shaft
to the storage bins, thence through
the concentrating plant, from whence
the concentrates will be loaded into
the cars for shipment to the smelter
without the use OF hand labor 1t is
undoubtedly the most favorably sit
uated property in the country for
cheap working. The ore is a sui
phide, easily concentrated, and there
seems to be no good reason why the
property should not develop into a
large producer.
