A telegram was received in Clifton Sunday last that the Buffalo Oil com pauy had struck an immense flow of oil in one of their wells at Beaumont. large amount of this stock Is held in Clifton, consequently some of our most prominent people are excusable for cut ting up few monkey shines Sunday evening. The strike means good pile of "stun" for Clifton. Now if that Cal ifornia oil company, in which Clifton people are largely interested, strikes it. our people will have reason to be on good terms with themselves.

Struck by Lightning.

D. A. Pace, who came in last night from Luna valley, reports that Warren Mallory was struck by lightning there Wednesday evening last. The light ming struck on top of his head, ran down to his neck and divided, and then came together again a little further down, divided again, passing under each arm and down each leg. Both shoes were torn off his feet, and one of them carcied several feet away. The top of his head was shaved as clean as if it had been done by barber. His clothing was burned and torn from his body, but Mallory himself was not hurt. He was slightly dazed for an instant, but gathered up his shoes, and proceed ed with his journey as calmly as though nothing had happened.

The PIenics.

The series of picnicS now being giv on at beautiful Riverside Park, on the Gila river about three miles below Coronado station, are becoming quite the social feature of the season. The park is an ideal sylvian retreat. The trees are large, affording ample shade, and there is no underbrush to annoy the pedestrian. A ball ground, and one of the best to be found in the terri tory, has been laid off within few hundred feet of the shady park. A large dancing pavilion is being erected this week, which will make the park and the picnic gatherings even more attractive than heretofore. It will be completed by Sunday next. The man. agement of the railroad company, in order to encourage the social gather ings of the pecpfe of the east side of the county, have decided to reduce the fare from all points along the line. The new rate from Clifton on Sunday next will be Sl.O0 for the round trip, and S1 50 from Lordsburg. The regu- ldT lTdll VIII lCstNC SlllbOii ob C.''O o iil' and a special train will be run out of Lordsburg at 6:30. A special train will also leave Clifton at II o'clock a. m. IT you want a really pleasant days out ing, fill your basket and attend, and if you don't have a good time, and for less money than you would spend at home, it will be your own fault.
 The ERA is informed that Lordsburg sends word that she has two teams which can lick the Clifton first and second hines. It is possible, but the Clifton boys are mostly from Missouri, and it will be necessary forLordsburg to show them. The game will probably be pulled of at Coronado Park a week from Sunday.
 The picnic at Coronado Park Sunday last was well attended and was greatly enjoyed by all present. The ball game between Clifton and Morenci Scrub teams was too one-sided to be interest ing. Clifton won by score of % to ;.
 A ball game has been arranged to be pulled of between the Morenci and Lordsburg first mines on Sunday next. The railroaders are coming confident Of victory. A good game can be looked for.
 The Lordsburg Liberal denies that there has been any smallpox in that town and rebukes the COPPER ERA for circulating the erroneous report. The Liberal admits the prevalence of the same disease in Lordsburg as that pro- nounced to be smallpox in Clifton and Duncan. Neither the millionaire editors Of the Liberal or the editor of the ERA could tell case of smallpox from case of gout Bulletin.
 Bro. Kelly, who for years has lived on the fat of the Gila valley, ought to be an excellent authority on gout.

Frank Walls, aged II, died at his home in Duncan Tuesday last of par alysis. Mir. Wall was an old timer in this section, having come here moro than twenty years ago from Colorado. In early days he was the owner of the Coronado ranch, where he and a few companions had an interesting battle with Victoria's band of hostile Apaches, whom they succeeded in standing of. and is saving their scalps for future use. Mr. Walls was an old-time miner, and while not giving as much person. al attention to the business during the past few years as formerly was still largely interested in. mining at Ash Peak and Carlisle, and at the time of his death was about to close a sale on some of his property. He leaves a wife and four children: Mrs. C. NJ. Hill, and Mrs. A. E. Powell residing at Dun can and Mrs. Tom Levy and Frank Walls, residing at Buckeye, Arizona. Mr. Walls was good man, and enjoyed the respect and confidence of all who knew him. His family have the sym pathy of large circle of friends.

Most encouraging reports are com- ing in daily from the Standard Copper mines. The body of rich ore, which averages from 8 to 90 per cent, is widening out and making ore fast. The ore is being piled up on the dump and by the end of the month several carloads will be ready for shipment. Large bodies of ore of lower grade have been uncovered in other parts of
 the mine, and altogether the property is making a most remarkable showing.

$. w. Massey was up from Duncan this week, and like most of the people from Duncan and Lordsburg, "rounded- up" the ERA for stating some few weeks since, that there were few cases of smallpox at Duncan. The ERA always has space for q good news item. The fact that the smallpox report caused so much comment from Lords burg to Solomonville and Clifton proves that it was a news item all right. The ERA is not responsible for the disagree ment of the doctors, but it certainly believes that the Clifton medical frater- nifty, all of whom agreed that the disease was smallpox, are as good authority on that or any other disease, as are the doctors of Duncan or Lordsburg. The radical measures adopted had the de- sired effect of stamping out the disease. Had it been allowed to drag on until cold weather doubtless many deaths would have been tho result and the county put to heavy expense, all of which the ERA with the assistance of the Clifton NJ. D's., has been the means of saving.

A Killing at Stockton's Camp.

l a killing occurred at Hay Canyor
 on the morning Of the 29th instant while Stockton's roundup was work
 Ing in that section. The killing wa: done by Joe Grammer, in the employ oi the L. C. company, and I. z. Burris a cook for the roundup, was the victim. The killing occurred in the morning, after all the men except the principals and Walter Newman had left camp. Newman was therefore the only witness to the killing, except Grammer. After the killing Grammer got on his horse and left. Newman notified some of the cowboys and later coroner's inquest was held, at which Newman testified that Grammer and Burris had been quarreling and Cram mer got on his horse and started to leave, when Burris commenced shoot ing at him. Grammer got down from his horse and ran past Burris into the house, where he secured a winchester from under the bed, with which he shot and killed Burris.
 Deputy Sheriffs John Parks and Gus Hobbs left Clifton Thursday night in pursuit Of Grammer. They first went to Lyons x Campbell's Red Barn. on the Gila, where they learned that Grammer had not yet put in an appear ance. They spent the day along the river, and learned that Grammer had been stopping at the l.. C. horse ranch on Saccatone. They got guide and reached Saccatone about o'clock the next morning. They secreted them- selves in the corral and awaited re- suits. About o'clock one Of the occu- pants of the house came out and chopped little wood. They waited nearly another hour, when they were rewarded for their patience by seeing Grammer riding up the canyon to the house. While he was in the canyon they made their way to the opposite side of the house, and when he rode up they threw down on him and com manded his surrender He hesitated and reached for his winchester, but was persuaded that it would be better policy to allow it to remain in it's sea aboard. He made no objection to leaving New Mexico, and was brought to Clifton, and was given his preliminary hearing yesterday afternoon before Justice Wright. He waived an examination and was bound over in the sum of S20,- 900, and being stranger in this sec tiOn and not having that amount of money with him, it is likely that he will remain as guest Of the county until the grand jury meets.
 District Attorney Lee N. Stratton appeared for the territory. Judge Buck represented the defendant.
 The deputies who made the capture were congratulated by their many friends. The boys were in the saddle two days and nights. It was a neat piece of work.

 It seems that the bond taken on the property of the South Bisbee company last spring by G. s. Pitcairn for s3, ,000,- 900 expired September lst. Had the bond not been given it is likely that the property would have long since been purchased by Arizonians. The ERA has frequently warned mine owners against bonding their proper ties for small amounts and for long periods; but it seems that they must learn by experience.
 The ERA this week printed a very neat little prospectus for the Santa Rosa Copper Company, which is now offering another block of its stock to the public, at D cents per share. This company is so we'll known at home that it needs no extensive mention Non residents who wishAs copy of the pro- spectus can secure it by addressing the secretary of the company at Morenci.
