Clifton 10-M0reuci 9.

The base ball game Sunday last be-
tween Clifton and Morenci was an ex-
citing one, resulting in a victory for
Clifton by a score OF TO 10. MoreDci
took the lead IN the second inning and
remained so until the last hall OF the
ninth, the game standing 10 9 in
favor OF Moreuci. The Clifton boys
went TO work in dead earnest in the
last half OF tho ninth. DR.. Lord was
the first man up and accidentally died
at the plate. Woods got first on a
dead ball and aueuhauer, Balmer,
Dunn and Wattell each hit the bail
safe, and when the boys finished run
ming Wattell was on second and others
in home, tieing the score. Wallet
then stole third and made home on a
high throw, thus wining a hopeless
game. Balmer pitched the game for
the local team and played an excellent
Settle occupied center field for the
Morenci team and the way he played
his position would do credit to most
any professionalism an error to his
credit. He swings nicely but found it
4 difficult task 10 connect with the
ball. Lamar Cobb was down from the
mountains and played the field for
Clifton. He made several grand stand
plays and won the hearts OF the spec
tators. He managed to get hit ION
the elbow during the game. Both
teams were handicapped, being short
two men, but Morenci had the adyan-
tage because they had their infeld.
Every one OF the Clifton boys played
out of their positions except Woods.
The Standard said 1t was scare for
Clifton, but we are inclined to think
it was surprise to the Morenci boys.
But this is not the first time such a
record has been made. Morenci won
the game three weeks ago in the same
manner.

Henry Laub, one OF the best hustlers
that ever struck Arizona, spent a few
days in Clifton this week. AS Henry
is on the road all the time, and is some
thing OF Spectator, he naturally
keeps his eyes peeled for all of the
new towns with bright futures before
them, and he always gets in on the
ground floor" which is the proper
thing to do. He is quite enthusiastic
over the town of Cochise, which will
be the terminus OF the Cananea, Yaqui
River & Pacific railroad. Cochise is
on the S. Z. railroad and has long been
a station OF much Importance. 1t is
the key to tho great Sulphur Springs
valley, one of the largest and finest
valleys in the territory, which has
wonderful agricultural possibilities, as
water can be had anywhere at a depth
OF from forty TO sixty feet.
which can be had in such quantities as
to render irrigation possible by pump
ing plants. The new railroad from
Cochise will bring the great producing
mines. such as The Commonwealth,
Tu-quois, Gleason, Black Diamond,
Old Terrible and Peabody to its doors.
1t will also be the distributing point
for the S. =. Cor freight and passenger
traffic from the great Bisbee camp OF
Arizona and Cananea OF Old Mexico.
1t is the natural center for great and
growing metropolis. 1t has as fine eli
mate as any town in Arizona, and an
abundance of pure water and can be
made a delightful residence place.
The town company will at once bore
for artesian water. Over one hundred
cars OF material are now on the ground
for the new Cananea, Yaqui River Il
Pacific railroad. Lots that went beg
ging there only a few weeks ago are
now changing hands rapidly at ad-
vancing prices, and by the time dirt
commences to fly the town will be
booming. The town promises to have
a thousand people in the next few
months.

ing the erection of one OF his newly
invented oil burning smelters for the
George \. Threadwell Mining COM
pany, says the Prescott Prospect.
This will be the first oil burning smell
ter ever erected, and E. D. Thread
we'll and many other miners and smelt-
ing men are awaiting anxiOusly for its
first test. An upright smelter, as ex-
planned by Mr.. Boss, can not be used
for oil, because without coke to keep
the ore from clogging it, would naural-
ly settle down so closely as to shut off
the hot air blast entirely. To avoid
this Mr.. Boss has invented an almost
horizontal furnace, into which the
ores enter from above by a self-feeder,
thus leaving air passages for the draft.
II it proves a success it will greatly
facilitate smelling operations and
will also prove great saving in ex-
pense.

Now that Clifton is supplied with an
abundance OF water, no time should
be lost in forming Il fire company and
securing the necessary apparatus for

~ould be the means Of saving many

give it their immediate attention.

ASTLHM AND COLLEGE.

In n sermon recently delivered by the rabbi
of A New-York congregation aid was asked Ior
the establishment of a Jewish juvenile asylum
and it was urged that such an INSTITUTION hdu
become a necessity. The need Is undoubtedly
due TO the influx of Jews of a lower type. men
and women who bear the mark of hundreds OF
wears of persecution and moral bondage. What
centuries of cruelty wrought In other chimes
cannot be wiped ont in q few years even In the
invigorating atmosphere of freedom, ana, al
though the process of Uplifting and assimlla-
ton is going on, much of the crude, unimproved
element remains as drag on the Jewish COM
munity and the municipality.
The ASYLUM to which the rabbi referred is in
tended mot as a prison, but as home for those
who are on the verge of crime and who may,
through proper influences and teaching, be re-
tanned in the faith of their fathers. While the
scheme is a worthy one, its promoters forget
that religions decay has laid its hand also on
the class from which relief for the unfortunate
is expected. Indifference agnosticism and
cowardice in the face of prejudice threaten the
life of American Judaism. This is due in a
great measure to the fact that the services in
the houses of worship unattractive. In the
early DAYS of the Jews In the United States
there was no lack Of good leaders. Men like
Wise Llienthal Einhorn. Adler and Hirsch

which they lived. But new generation has
