A most enjoyable dinner was given at the Clifton Bakery Sunday last by
 the bakers and butchers of Clifton, to which few others were invited. The Morenci Bakery was represented by Dick Stevens, who with Carl Schade and Louie Ferber started the Clifton Bakery about three and half years ago. The Clifton Bakery was big success from the start. Louie Fcrber soon quit the employ of the Bakery and founded the Bazaar Department store, now one of the busiest places in Clifton. About year ago Mir. Stevens started the Morenci Bakery at Mo renci, which Is under his management, and which has also been a phenomenal success. Six months ago the Clifton Bakery and the Clifton Bottling works consolidated, when Jesse Yoakum took an active interest in the bakery busi- ness. The dinner lasted from 2 to 5 o'clock, and was greatly enjoyed by those fortunate enough to be present. It was enliyened by both vocal and in strumental music. Songs were sung in German, French, Italian, Spanish and English. All of the baker boys, and also the butchers, are noted mu- sicians, as we'll as jolly entertainers and good fellows. One of the most pleasing numbers of the musical en- tertainment was the rendition of that classical Spanish song "El Gringo," by Sr. Jack Laffy.

Hon.

The water is very hot, and the baths unexcelled. The only complaint that Henry had to make was that they Ted him on chicken and turkey thres day, which will most probably create disturbance in a mans digestive apparatus. The new three story hotel recently erected by Alexander Brothers, is now being fiu- ished and will soon be ready for occu- pancy.

MINES AND MINING.

John G. Keppler, an old time miner of this place, returned last week from trip to Nacozari and other sections of Sonora. He spent some time at Naco- zari, and his opinion is that II Is the coming great camp Of Sonora, and in few years will rival and surpass Can anea. MT. Keppler is a man of much experience in mining, and his opinion is worth considering. He reports great activity in mining in that sec tion, and all Of the companies, as well as many individuals are doing well. He reports one mine, the ore from which averages 2500 ounces in silver and 60 per cent. lead. This property commenced paying dividends from the grass roots. Charles Morgan is oper- ating extensively on the Yaqui river, and Frank Dudley, we'll known in this county, is sending in vast quantities Of ore which is brought out from the mines on burrc trains. Burro5, he says, are worth s20 per head in gold in that section and man with a burro train is prince. Gold, silver, copper and lead are being mined in that sec tion, copper predominating, though silver and lead holds are pushing it for first place. Considerable placer mining is being done, and with most satisfactory results. Mir. Keppler says that prospects are much more readily sold there than here and at far better prices. Many prospectors have made good stakes, and are we'll satisfied with the country. American money seems to be flowing into that section of So- nora in an endless stream, and the country is fast being Americanized. The railroad from NacoZari will soon be pushed on down the Yaqui river and on to the coast, thus opening up vast section of new mineral country. He says there is plenty of water in that section, the mountains being timbered, and as native labor is cheap and abun- dant, the conditions seem most favor able for mining. He was greatly sur prise at the wonderful growth of Douglas, which he thinks is as large as both Clifton and Morenci, and growing with wonderful rapidity. Property at Douglas he says is tout Of sight" He expects to return to So- nora later on and do little prospect ing on his own account.

Morenct is to have two justices of the people Of the precinct W. H.Chap- man, republican, received the high est number Of votes, and w. H. Settle, the incumbent Of the office, the next highest number of votes for justice. At meeting Of the board of supervis- ors last week Mir. Settle demanded that he also be given certificate, upon the grounds that Morenci has population in excess of 5000, and therefore under the law was entitled to two justices. Henry Hill, the republican member of the board, was not altogether satisfied with the showing as to population made by Justice Settle, and voted against issuing the second certificate for the same precinct, but Messrs. Har- per and Waddell were satisfied and or dered that the certificate be given to Justice Settle, who will therefore con- tinue in office, unless Justice Chapman can secure 8 writ Of custer from some other court. And now it is understood that Hon. w. E. Book, perhaps better known as Cyclone Bill, |" who received the second highest number of votes in Clifton precinct for justice of the peace, will make showing before the board of supervisors at their next meeting that Clifton also has a popu- lation in excess of 5000, and that he is entitled to certificate as justice Of the peace, as well as E. A. Boyles, the in- cumbent Of the office, who received the highest number Of votes for reelection. Mir. Beck's claim will be backed by the statements that much larger regis tration was made in Clifton, and also that nearly 600 votes were cast here as against 3S4 at Morenci, hence it will be seen that the board can't very we'll re- fuse to grant the request. or course there is large number Of people liv- ing at both Morenci and Clifton who are non-residents, still a population Of 5000 in either place comes as a surprise.

Anyhow, it is Douglas first shelter, and it is a matter of much importance not only to Douglas, but to southern Arizona as well.
