OLD DOMINION SHUT DOWN.
A Shortage Of Coke Causes the
Suspension General Mining,

Notices to employees were post
ed at the Old Dominion Copper
Mining and Smelling cOmpany's
works, and also in town, today,
signed by Supt. F. W. HOar, stat
ing that the company's smelter
and mine would close down at $50
o'clock this afternoon.
The immediate cause Of the
shutdown is a shortage Of coke,
and it is intimated that the failure
of the railroad companies to give
the Old Dominion any assurances
of satisfactory adjustment Of
freight rates is the reason for the
coke supply having been allowed
to run down, shipments have been
curtailed awaiting definite
answer from the railroads to the
copper company's proposition.
The duration of the suspension is
indefinite. A force of forty or
fifty men will be retained at the
mine-SiiUer Belt.

Died From Smallpox,

l.. H. Judson, who had been en-
ployed at Hachita, arrived in
Clifton one week ago Sunday last,
and engaged a room for the night.
On the morning following DR..
Walker was sent for, who stated
that the man had a malignant case
of continent smallpox. A nurse
was secured and every possible at
tention given him, but he grew
steadily worse, and died Tuesday
night. Judson stated to DR., Walk
er that DR.. Crocker Of Lordsburg
pronounced his trouble vessicular
Influenza, and sent him to Clifton
for treatment. Train men say
that he was broken out with small
pox at the time, and it is most
likely that he was thus instrumen-
tai in spreading the disease on the
train. DR.. Walker states that
every possible precaution was
taken to prevent the spread of the
disease in Clifton, and almost every
known disinfectant has been used
in large quantities in the room
occupied by the unfortunate man.

FRIDAY SEPT. 10, 1909,
GRAHAM'S COURT HOUSE,

"The following article was for
warded to the Era by the Safiord
Commercial Club, with the request
that it be published. ."--CoPPcr E'"'
Following the above introduc-
tory was the article published in the.
Eplltin two weeks ago in which 1t.
charges the GUARDIAN with ig-
rorantc in regard the 'dobe pile In
SoiomonyilIc which we are com
.llcd Ia call our court house, and
rcn gr,s TO tell in what excellent
condition it is, which everybody,
including the editor Of the Era'
knows TO be untrue
The article referred to was not
sent go the Eja by the Stafford
Commercial Club nor any member
of it and the only reason we can
see for its publication is to lead
people to believe that the course
of the GUARDIAN is not indorsed
by the people of Stafford and this
valley. And to convince the Era
of its error we will simply state
that at the meeting Of the Club
last Monday night the publication
of the article was denounced in no
uncertain terms and the course Of
the GUARDIAN was fully indorsed.
The GUARDIAN has never misrepre-
sentcd the condition of the old
court house and the people all
know it; that would be hard to do,
We are loath to believe that the
editors of the Ere would stoop to
such dirty practice as to attempt
to deliberately deceive people on
this proposition, but it is plain
that it was done for the purpose
of dccciving and it was either done
bv some one in SOlOmonville, who
forged the Commercial Clubs sig
nature or by the editors ofthe Era.
1t is up to that paper to explain.
We do not question the Era's
right to fight county seat removal,
although we fail to see where it
will be the gamer by such course,
but if it is going to take a hand
in the fight let it come out open
and do so. Ifit proposes to be
neutral, and fair at the same time,
let it right the wrong it has done
the people here when it published
the article referred to as being sent
to it by the Stafford Commercial
Club.

NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE

Advertising is becoming more
and more a necessity, says the
Grand Rapid Post, and retail mer-
chants are fast realizing the fact
that money invested in good news
paper advertising pays most
handsome rate Of interest, figuring
the increased business received.
1t is not the merchant that has
educated the public to reading
these advertisements, but the pub
lie has convinced the dealer that
the merchant whose advertisement
appears each week is eagerly
watched for by the housewife to
take advantage of special bargains,
etc, offered as an inducement to
bring the prospective purchaser to
his particular store.
OF so great an importance has
advertising become that the man
ager of one of Chicago's largest
stores, in reported interview
published in one Of the leading ad
vertising journals recently, said in
part;
"Of such importance has adver-
tising become that should the
volume of our business or other
causes make it necessary to econo-
mizc, it certainly would not be on
our advertising bills-if anything,
our expenses in this direction
would be increased"

this source, is necessarily Of i'm
portance, for firms who spend

Young Man in Kansas City Has a

Kansas City, Sept. 1O.-An en-

HOW THEY LIKED
THE CRAWFORD SYSTEM,

The Crawford plan has been test
ed and all the nominees think it is
great system, Those who were
defeated, however, talk differently.
They say it is the greatest scheme
for fraudulent voting that was ever
brought off, and they are not alone
in their opinion. In every pre-
cinct in the county men were voted
who it is claimed were not entitled
to the privilege, being non resi-
dents Of the county. Advice from
the Colorado river, the authority
of which connot be questioned, in
forms us that twenty-five votes at
this precinct came from Needles,
and that the election was the
greatest farce ever perpotrated in
any country. The people are get
ting mighty sick Of this kind of
work and it is to be hoped that
some of them will get their eyes
opened after while and call halt.
Money won't do everything all the
time. AT this place and in King
man the same order Of things pre-.
vailed. Men voted who are not
even residents, and the people are
not going to stand for 1t in No
yembcr, either.-1rt=oaa ATOp,
