A New and Important Use For
Rubber.

A new brick building with dimensions
40x60 feet is being built by the Pure
Gum Speciality company at Barberton,
to give additional room for workmen
and machinery. This new building
was made necessary by the increas-
ing business Of this plant.
The Alden Rubber company at Bar
berton expects soon to do machine re-
pair work in a machine shop of its
own and have to make an addition to
its buildings for this purpose.
Mr.. A. II. Libis, with the b. r. Good.
rich Co., has left on vacation trip.
Mr.. Charles e. H. Fayrer Hickey, a
travelling salesman for the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co., has returned from
southern trip.
Mr. Fl. e. Raymond. manager of the
sales department Of the Goodrich Co,
will leave in July to spend three
months in Europe.
President Hardy, of the Diamond
Rubber Co., will leave in three weeks
to spend some time in England.
A new rule that undoubtedly will
result in the use of considerable rubber
mating had been recently adopted by
three large railway systems in the
west-the Northwestern, the Union Pa
cific and the Southern Pacific. These
roads have informed their baggage
men that the rough handling of trunks,
boxes and bags must cease. 1t further
provides that the trucks must be pro-
vided with thick pad of felt or other
material to lessen the jar when ba ggage
is moved from the car to the truck.
OF course a felt pad would soon wear
out, and would be dirty. unsanitary,
makeshift at best. Rubber mating
is really the only material available,
and the day is not far distant when all
baggage trucks will be covered with
it.-India Rubber World.

New Smelter for Jerome.

The News has it from o. reliable
source that Senator Clark and his as
sociates in the Equator Mining &
Smelling company will at once com
mence the erection OF Il smelter on
their property on Equator hill, that
the site is now being surveyed, and
the machinery will be on the ground
as soon as PRACTICAL bic. This will be
good news TO Jerome and the sur
rounding country. It means that
there will be a great deal of money
turned loose here, not only through
the building OF the smelter, but
through the transportation OF smelt-
ing material to Equator hill and the
hauling of the product to the railroad
at Jerome. 1t will, of course, be some
months before the Equator smelter
will be in operation, and chances are
that the United Verde works may be
then look out for the rise of Jerome"
again. The building of this smelter,
which will be on the great Jerome
copper belt, about four mills south Of
the town of Jerome, is positive evil
dence that all the ore in the district is
not confined within the borders of the
United Verde group, and that proper
development work may open up many
good mines along the hills south of
this camp.-JerOme News.

How It Happened.

The Clifton base ball team returned
Monday last from Bisbee with gloomy
faces. and very few showed up for sew
eral days. Apparently the Bisbee
team was loaded for them or they
would not have played the game.
The Clifton boys felt so confident Of
victory, that they did not as much as
practice. They did not think that
they would have to 90 up against lea
que players or they would have prob
ably strengthened their team. How
ever, the Bisbee boys know that they
have played game OF ball. Had Bis
bee played the same team they did at
Clifton the locals would have walked
away with both games.
The morning game was more Tor
practice than anything else and went
10 Bisbec by a score OF } to 10. Simns
had an of day in the box, as well as
Woods behind the bat, aud few OF
the others were under the weather.
Armstrong Tucsons crack twirler,
was in the box Tor Bisbce aud the Gilt
ton boys found no trouble to land on
him, but he had excellent support.
The afternoon game was called at
go and was an exciting one from start
TO finish. In the second inning Clifton
landed on White FOR four runs and
made Bi5bee hard to catch until the
seventh inning. the game standing
to in favor OF Clifton, when WOrmel,
Clifton's pitcher. weakened and the
Bisbee boys scratched out the game
before the boys could realize what
had happened.
The Clifton boys still taink that
they can clean up Bisbee, but it is not
Hkely that these teams will meet
aSain before next season. 1t Is quite
likely that Morenci viii match game
with tBisbee sometime in the near
future (which will be pulled off on the
Clifton diamond.

Billy Hart, OF Metcalf, spent cou-
pie of days in Clifton this week under
the doctors care. Billy is greatly in-
terested in the campaign, and has
been making speeches in Spanish I'M
til he has about worn out his vocal
organs. He was incomunicado as TO
who he was supporting, but as he is
not himself candidate, it is pretty
safe to say that he will mix things
little this year. Candidates who want
to DE elected, should see this gifted
orator at once, and arrange for his
services, as he has a set-tkere gait
and a strong tow line.

The pre limiuary steps towards the
organization OF fire company were
taken Mohlay night, alta meeting Of
citizens held at the Office of J. T.
Thompson. Mr.. Thompson was cleo
ted temporary chairman of the meet
ing and N. L. Elliott secretary. Plans
were discussed for raising money for
the purchase of hose, cart and 4
hook and ladder outfit. a large
amount Of excellent material is offered
for fire company. 1t IS most prob
able that two outfits will be purchased
at once, one for Chase Crock and the
other for East Clifton. Another
meeting will be held Saturday night
next at Mr.. Thompson's Office room l,
Clifton Hotel, to perfect the organiza-
tion of permanent company. This
meeting should be attended by all
business men aud property holders,
who are directly interested IN this
matter. When the company is formed
and the apparatus secured, the insur-
ance rate will be reduced thirtythrce
per cent. With this reduction in
view property owners can afford to be
most liberal in their subscriptions for
the purchase Of hre-fghting apparatus,
as they will save the amount of their
donations on insurance the first year.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Wood Poland and E.

one was killed, and that was by an ac-
cidcnt. When the party returned to
camp one evening they found a big
tent Flour was scarce anyway and it
was at least fifty miles to the nearest
store, the boys became little excited,
and made a rush for the tent. The buck

tent with the velocity OF an automo

aud greatly regretted by all members
of the party. However, they were in
no manner responsible for the acct
dent, a. they could not stand still and
let the buck eat up all of their flour.
Anyhow. there is nothing in the game
laws Of New Mexico which will hold
them responsible for such an accident.

VIM. Whipple, one Of Clifton's old
time dairymen, called al the ERA Of
fee this week, and states that many OF
the people in Clifton are too careless
with their milk vessels, and sometimes
blame the dairyuan for what is their
own fault He states that milk vessels
should first be washed with tepid
water, then scalded and thoroughly
dried. Some people rinse their milk
cans in cold water and then put the lid
on, which does not give the vessel
chance to dry, and as result the milk
will sour, and even il it does not, it is
not sweet and wholesome. People
should be very careful with their milk
vessels, a. much sickness is caused
through that source.
