There has been some complaint OF
late because the board of supervisors
refuse to longer pay the expenses OF
quarantining smallpox patients. When
the supervisors were paying these ex-
penscs the cost amounted to about S160
for each patient. For the county to
look after all the cases now in the
county would mean bankruptcy, and
besides the disease is in such a very
mild form as to be free from serious
own way at Duncan during the entire
summer and fall, and nearly all the
people Of that section have had it, and
no deaths were reported. During the
past few weeks it has spread through
the entire valley. Not few cases OF
it exist in both M0renci and Clifton,
and to attempt to stamp it out now
would be hcrculean task. and an
and which is not justified at the pres
ent time. So far there has been no
deaths from the disease in the county,
and hundreds have had it and it is |

cases at the Clifton pest house, and /
they are all doing well aud getting |
along without nurse or a guard. In |
fact they say themselves that they do
not need nurses or medicines. The I

Some three weeks ago the ERA
stated that the county road between
Clifton and Coronado was in need of
repair. which it seems was not fact.
Only a short time previous to the date
mentioned the road has been put in
perfect condition by Road Supervisor
Webster, who says that it is as good a
piece of road us there is in any part OF
the county. Supervisor Hill, who re-
Gently drove over the road, says that it is
in the pink of perfection. Mr.. Hill re-
Gently drove from Clifton to Solomon
Vile. Il distance of fifty miles in eight
hours, and spent three-quarters of an
hour at Coronado to take lunch, which
proves that the road for the entire dis
lance is in perfect condition. Last
week the ERA stated on the authority
OF j. II. L. Cosper that the road to the
Blue had been put in splendid condi-
ton by Harper & Depee, but neglected
to state that the work had been done
under the supervision OF Jud Webster,
the road commissioner of this district.
The ERA most willingly makes these
corrections to its former articles, As it
does not desire to place anyone in
false light before the public.

Frank Stevens one OF the fortunate
owners of group OF claims on the
other side of God Gulch, upon which
a rich gold strike was recently made.
spent Sunday in Clifton. Mr.. Stevens
is an old time mining man. aud has
been operating in this section for
many years, and has several times
made good gold strikes, but he feels
certain that he q - ~ right lead
this time The lead is about three
feet in width, and he thinks it will
average more than $50 in gold and
about $40 in silver. This does not in
clude the rich pockets which contain
gold that will go up into the thousands.
The rich strike was made on clai m
owned by Mrs Stevens formerly Mrs.
Baker, who has spent much money in
developing mining property in this
section. Her many friends through
out the district will be pleased to learn
that her prospects for a comfortable
fortune are most flattering.
