The Clifton Copper Company.

The local stockholders of the Clifton Copper Co. are greatly elated over the recent developments and the general progress of the work Their new 100 ton mill when finished will be one of the most complete and economically constructed concentrating plants in this country. The ore will be hoisted from the mines and dumped into the bins, from which it will be handled automat- ically, throughout the process and will come out of the mill ready for the market.
 The stock is now selling at 8 per share, and the original subscribers, at S2.50 per share, are now increasing their holdings at 8 per share.
 We understand that another payment was made on the purchase Tuesday, which was the day before it was due. This property promises to be one of the big dividend payers in the near future. The great body of sulphide ore continues in depth in great uni and is apparently inexhaust- ible. This is the kind of showing which makes stockholders happy and well they may be.-Silver City Inde- pendent.

Wood Poland, one of the old time prospectors and hunters of the south west, was in Clifton this week and fay ored the ERA with call. He recent ly returned from hunting trip up on Eagle creek, where he killed several large bears and also several mountain lions. The county pays a reward of s2O per scalp for the lions. The bear hides are worth from S40 to S65 each. Mir Poland finds hunting much more profitable than working in the mines for wages, besides that he enjoys hunt ug.anyway, but says it gives him rheumatism to sleep out nights. Dur ing the Geronimo raid of 1884 and 1885, Wood Poland was living with his partner on the head of the Gila river in the Mogollon mountains. Wood was laid up at that time with rheuma- tism. but his partner persuaded him to % with him to the brook to fish. For the first time in his life Wood left the cabin without his gun. After they had been fishing a few minutes they were attacked by Indians, and Woods partner was killed at the first fire. Wood had to make 150 yards to cover with the entire band of Indians shoot ing at him. He forgot all about his rheumatism, and covered the distance in about three seconds. The Indians chased him seven miles, but he got away. As a cure for rheumatism he thinks an Indian scare is good medicine.

CLIFTON TO GALLUP.
The Phelps Dodge Company Plans
 Another Great Feeder Line.
From the Fl PasO Herald

|
 The Phelps-Dodge company is al-
 ready one of the largest in the country,
 and is destined to be the most import
 ant business institution in all the west.
 Its railroads are branching out into
 Mexico and Arizona with the view of soon covering every portion of that
 rich mining country.
 The fact was made public this mOrn- ing that the company IS now on deal to buy the coal mines at Gallup, New Mexico, and extend it's railroad from Clifton to Gallup at once. The railroad part Of the deal is about closed aud is only pending the sale of the Gallup mines.
 c. F. Whitcher, attorney for the company at Clifton, has been in Fl Paso for several days arranging the details, and while he refuses to discuss the matter for publication it is known that he has about finished the deal which 'vill be officially given out within a few weeks. Mr. Whitcher was met here this morning by 5. Ullman of New York, who is also interested in the proposition on one side, and the two have been in conference all day. Neither would give out any informa- tion about the project but the fact leaked out that the Phelps-Dodge com pany was at the back of the deal and when consummated that company would begin at once to construct a standard gauge railroad from Clifton to Gallup.
 When the line to Gallup is complet- ed Fl Paso will have another railroad to the coal fields of western New Mex leo which may mean that cheaper coal will follow. The Bisbee road will have no lines beyond that point and it will be to the company's interest to give cheap rates to El Paso.

J. E. Cosper, one of the most success ful and extensive farmers of the Dun can county, was in town Saturday last
 with several wagon loads of country supplies. Mir. Cosper has been a farm CT all his life, and says he meyer lived iu a country which gave such sure and bounteous returns for the labor ex- pended. He says there will always be an abundance of water in the Duncan country, and that the people are be- ginning to understand the art of irri- gation better than in former years. He says that one of the secrets of suc- cess in handling water is to use plenty of it in the winter and spring, when the river is full, and the ground will then be so thoroughly saturated with moisture that an ordinary crop can be made with but little water during the hot season. He says the best wheat he has ever seen grown in any country is produced at Duncan and says if flour mill could be secured, that it would not only prove a good paying invest ment, but would be of the greatest possible benefit to that section, as it would enable the Duncan farmers to supply the Clifton and Morenci markets with good portion of their flour. He says that alfalfa hay is always worth S3.50 per ton more at Duncan than at any other point further down the val ley, and this of itself is of no small inn portance. MT. Cosper says the farmers around Duncan are all doing we'll, and are rapidly increasing their acreage of tillable land.

r. L. Blumer, secretary of the Ari- zona Mutual Savings and Loan Associ- ation, of Phoenix, spent the past week in Clifton, and returned home Tuesday morning well pleased with our city. While here Mr. Blumer assisted his state agent, C. $. Mustard, in making several good loans. Mr. Blumer thinks so well of Clifton that he says his com. pany will supply all the money needed here for building purposes. It seems to be less trouble to secure money through the Arizona Mutual than any other loan company doing business in this section, probably because it is a home company, and because some of the principal officers of the company have visited Clifton, and are therefore somewhat familiar with the situa tion here.

Billy Roach, of Silver City, one of the discoverers of the Wild Cat group of copper mines at Santa Rita, now, the property of the Clifton Copper Company, is prospecting in the May flower district. Billy turned his Jack' on the sale of the Wild Cat group, but like most prospectors he cannot keep out of the hills. Billy recently
 met with a piece of very bad luck and when he passed through Duncan last week he was greatly cast down. He brought over three gallons of the best Silver City glory that money would buy, but by careless handling the demi- john was broken, hence Billy's gloom. Some of his friends in Duncan assured him that the centipedes, scorpions,

THE ERA is informed that plans are
 now being matured for the revival oi
 mining activity at Carlisle, New
 Mexico, which adjoins Graham
 county on the east. There has never
 been a quootiun as to the extent and
 permanency of ore bodies at Carlisle,
 but the ores always carried consider
 able amount of antimony, zinc and ar
 senic, rendering theIr treatment a
 most difficult matter. On the surface
 the leads all carried free gold in pay ing quantities, but as depth was ob- tained the ores changed in character, | requiring the erection of new plants. | The old Carlisle company commenced operations in 1880. The mines were opened under the management of Col | w. A. Parish, and for several years paid handsomely. Mir. Parish retired | from the management of the property about 1884, and it was not long after ! that until the company closed down About six or seven years ago the com
 pany was reorganized and started up again under what appeared to be favor able auspicies, but owing to the rebel lious character of the ore, and the vast
 amount of water encountered in the lower workings, the new company soon discovered that it could not make the
 property pay, and again shut down.
 Since that time the camp has been
 practically abandoned, but with pro-
 per machinery and strong pumping
 plants, and with thorough business
 management, there can be no question of the eventual success of the camp.
 Much ore of high grade character
 running from S100 to $500 per ton in
 gold and silver has been taken out,
 and is said to still exist in some of the
 lower workings, but owing to the vast
 inflow of water cannot be worked at
 the present time. It is said that the
 new management will erect vast lixi- viatiou or cyenide plants, through
 which it expects to be able to extract all the valuable mettles. Carlisle may
 be Hkened unto the great camp at Mer
 cur, Utah, which for many years baf- fled the scientists. The gold was there,
 but 1t could not be extracted, and for
 many years it was about the deadest camp in all Utah. Finally an Iowa chemist, who spent considerable time in experimenting, accidentally struck chemical combination which gave him the desired result, and today Mer- cur is one of the best gold camps in the world, and promises to be a tre- mendous producer. It has grown to a place of so much importance that it is frequently compared to the Rand of South Africa. And so it may yet be with the old camp of Carlisle.

Work on the Standard group is pro- gressing most satisfactorily. Shaft No. l has now reached a depth of 90 feet, No. ?, so feet and No. 3, 60 feet. The ground is all we'll mineralized and loose in character, but appears to be leached, which is characteristic of oth- CT mines of that section at that depth. When the shafts have reached a uni form depth of 100 feet each they will be connected by drifts, and cross cuts will also be run from the different shafts. The surface Improvements are now about completed. but it will soon be necessary to put up whims for hoist ing from all three of the shafts, upon which sinking will be continued. The indications in the Standard are most favorable, and It would not be a sur prise if large body of ore was uncov- cred at any time.
