The men building the oil tank here
for the Southern Pacific, expect to
have 1t finished tomorrow. They will
go from here to Ell Paso, where they
will build a tank of the same size for
the company.
The Tucson Citizen is now in good
shape TO run another month. The
Hon. 9. NJ. Shannon came down from
Cloudcroft, spent one day in the torrid
regions of Tucson, and then returned
to Cloudcroft, leaving the paper in
proper condition.
Sam Price, of Clifton was in the city
the other day en- route to Solomonville
for the purpose of securing an i%njunc-
tion %forbldding the Detroit Copper
company from allowing the tailings
from its concentration to flow down
Chase creek canyon. Price claims
they are liable to get on his town lot
and decrease its value. Really the
eight IS over the opening of a new road
from Clifton to Morenci. Heretofore
the main travelled road has been up
Chase Creek canyon. A new road has
been surveyed and the Chase creekers
will not be able to see the teams go by
their front doors. Hence the sorrow.
The Arizona Copper company has
a concentration which will dump its
.taiings IN the same canyon, and so If
the Detroit company is forbidden to
empty its taillngs in the canyon, a
similar injunction would have to be
issued against the Arizona company.
1t is the Detroit and the Arizona COM
panies that have given value to real
estate in Clifton If these companies
are forbidden to work the real estate
in that town would not be worth six
bits an acre, This makes Mr.. Prices
fight against the company look like
the action Of the man who bit off his
nose to spite his face.
The clifton ball club came down
Sunday and gave an imitation of how
the great game of base ball should be
played. The game started out very
prettily, each club making a couple of
scores in the FIRST inning. In the first
half OF the second inning the Clifton
club was shut out. When the Clifton
people went to the field the captain
changed Wilson, who had been play
ing third base, with Hugh Williams,
who had been pitching. The Lords
burg boys had no trouble in hitting
Wilson, and in that inning ran up a
score OF twelve. This seemed to de.
moralize both clubs, and little hard
playing was done after this. Williams
was put back in the box, aud held the
Lordsburgers down fairly well. He
is a good man in the box, but Of
course, is not in it with Stewart. The
rest of the game Stewart played with
the Clifton club, doing about al be
wished. In the fourth innings he let
them pile up six runs, and then to
show them that it was not possible
for them to make a run except as he
willed it shut them out in the fifth in
a one, two, three ORDER only three
men coming to the bat. Mennett and
Morris, old Lordsburg players, who
had returned to see the game, and
who had been put to work with their
old team, played a very pretty game.
They did not know how safe the game
was, and played for best results. At
