And Still Another Road for Clifton

A new railroad project for Arizona, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico, back ed by $50, LOGO, ,0O0, has been launched at Denver. The road contemplated does not touch Phoenix, but traverses other sections of the territory, which will open up some wealthy mining and agri- cultural country. It enters Arizona from Utah near the border of New Mexico and Colorado, running directly south, touching Fort Defiance, and crosses the Santa Fc at Winslow. Here the road branches, one section running due west and the other little east of south, passing Fort Apache, Morenci and Clifton. Here the road changes it's course to q westerly direc- ton, passing through Globe, Fort Me Dowell, Gilberts and Congress, joining the main line near the Colorado river. The main line passes through Jerome and Prescott.

WHILE the action of the statehood senatorial committee in ignoring Ari- zona and New Mexico, is great dis appointment to the ERA, it was not a surprise. The ERA predicted at the time the committee made its flying trip through the territory that its re- port would he uufavorable unless the great mining camps were visited. Doubtless the committee came here prejudiced against Us, but this might have been removed had the steering committee" shown them the industrial ccnters ot the territory. The Salt River valley is not the only pebble on the beach, However. the cause is not yet lost, as Senators Quay and Pcurose are making gallant fight for the omnibus bill, and claim that it will be passed, notwithstanding the adverse report of the committee.

The growth of the mining section Of Graham county is something phenome- nal. Norcuci now claims d population of more than seven thousand, and as the board of supervisors have issued a certificate of election to the second justice of the peace of that precinct, it Is an official recognition of popu- latiOn of moro than tivo thousand Clifton, which cast a much larger vote than Morenci, on the same basis of figuring, doubtless has population of between six and seven thousand. Met calls population is between two thous- and and two thousand five hundred. The population of Duncan and sur rounding country from twelve to Otifteen hundred, while the Blue, Gutherie and somo other sections will add another thousand. This would make the popu- lation Of the east end Of the county at least fifteen thousand. Two years ago wEcn the census was taken, this end of the county had a population Of about eight thousand. This gives Us an iu- crease of almost fifty per cent. in two years, a growth uncqualcd by any other section of the territory. These figures of course may not be correct, yet it is fact that the vote showed an increase of more than fifty per cent. in Clifton, and about four hundred per cent. in Metcalf.

DUNCAN NOTES.

When the county is divided Duncan will be the place for the county seat or across the river from Duncan. O. T. Phillips and part of Nephi Packers ranch would make a beautiful town site. The blocks could be laid out 50 rods square with 1 lots in block, with streets six rods wide. Los would be large enough for garden and or chard, the streets would be wide enogh for side walk and trees on each side. This land could be had very reasonable.

TIE territorial legislature will soon

TIE territorial legislature will sOor be in session at Phoenix. The body will be more than two-thirds demo cratic, and will therefore be able tC pass any measure over the governor: veto. The democratic party wil. therefore be held responsible for all legislation. In this connection theERA wishes to call the attention of the members Ot that honorable body, and more especially the members from Gra- ham county, to the absolute necessity Of reform in territorial affairs. The fr-t reform should be to devise ways and means to make the territorial peni- tcntiary 7clf-5upportiug. This is done over in our sister territory of New Mexico, and there is no good reason why it cannot be done in Arizona, The territorial penitcntiary has been tremendous expense to the tax payer, who is already oyer-burdened. The past legislature was undGly extrava- gant in many respects. The erection of the reform school building at Ben son i, merely an illustration of d po- l;tical pull by which the territory, and the tax payer, was victimiZcd. IL is a beautiful building, but it is tenantlcss, and at the time of its erection there was another reform school" also ten antlcss in the northern part of the territory. It has been proposed to use C, lum, or some other crazy thing. Any how it is useless piece of furniture and never should have been built. But that is only one illustration Of the folly of the past legislature, which ap- propriatcd money with lavish hand, and increased the already burdensOme rate of taxation. What the people want in territorial affairs is rigid ecOn- to the end that the new industries springing into cXistance in this terri tory may be given fair show to estab- fish themselves on q paying basis and become factors in the development of the territory. Taxes are most out rd%eOu7ly high Tn Arizona, and now that the territory's principal product c)pper-has greatly Appreciated in value, it would be well for our law makers to use every effort possible to decrease expenses. We want no more public buildings, neither should there be q new lot of public offices created such as mine inspectors, ctc.,-to grow fat from the public treasury. The motto of the legislature should be Let Well Enough Alonc.' Make no new laws which will prove a burden to the tax payer, but rather cut down ex- pcnses in every possible department. Give the property owner show for few years.

JOHN LAFFY oi Clifton is in receipt of letter from Keen St. Charles, q representative to the legislature from Yavapai county, that be will intro duce bill in the house asking that an appropriation be made to erect a suitable monument to the memory Of Bucky O'Neil, the gallant Rough Rider who was first to fall in battle at San Juan Hill. No man was closer to the hearts of the hearts of the people of Arizona than Buckley O'Neil, and it is but proper that his memory should be perpetuated in marble, either at the capital or at Prescott, which for many years was his home,

Fred c. Shaffer, of the Idaho Spring Siftings, prints the following illustrates Of how perseverance brings success: "The same indomitable en- ergy that crowns efforts with success in other lines will bring success in the mining business. A forcible illustra- tion of this is found in the remark of a sturdy old German of this district who was at one time owner of one of the now famous mines of this district which now has total production of over S3,000, ,000. He sold the property to close corporation for $500. This company was compelled to sink the shaft but nine feet before it encount- cred the wonderful ore body which has made the mine such prolific pro- ducer. In commenting upon the good fortune of the new company, the old German remarked: 'Ach, Got in Him. mell 1 will nefer annodder property sell undtil, 1 my selluf nine feet furder go." It happens that the Orc Grande went through almost the same ex- perience. Before the present company secured it, Wm. Scott once sold a one- half interest in it for S25 and subse- quent work has proven that he was within but few feet of the wonderful rich ore body now being developed. Not less than dozen persons have at one time had the Orc Grande located, and some did some work, but it re- mained for the present owners to do just little more and open up the rich est body of gold ore discovered in re- cent years. Such is life.-Wickens- burg Herald.

While in the north end ot the Greenlee district last week. the repre- sentative ot the ERA was shown sev- eral specimens which were full Of wire gold. and worth several dollars a pound. The orc came from the Laurs D. owned by Williams, Tevis, James, Dorsey and Greenlee. These speci- mems are nothing unusual from that section. Nearly all of the veins there run well in gold, and it is the general belief Of all mining men that some oi the big gold mines Of the territory will be developed there one of these days.

Owing to the temporary closing down of the Shannon shelter while the concentrating plant is being erect ed, the Shannon camp is not as lively as it has been, still a good many men are employed in blocking out ore bodies in the mines, and in doing the annual labor on all of the claims. The ERA representative was shown around the camp by William Watson, who is temporarily in charge lon the hill" during the absence of Superintendent Climo, who is recuperating his health in California. All Of the ore bins and stopes are full of good ore. Many sub- stantial improvements have been made at the mines since the last visit of the reporter. A very large two story boarding and rooming house has been erected, which is now under the man agement of Mr. and Mrs. Noah Climo, who have reputation as caterers throughout the southwest.

4 representative of the ERA last week visited the camp of the Clifton Consolidated company, and was greatly surprised at the vast amount of work accomplished by the company during the past year. The company are opening one portion Of their property by three tunnels, the lower one of which has now penetrated the mountain to depth of 100 feet, and the two upper tunnels 1000 feet each. Electrical drills are being used which General Manager Durham says are giving entire satisfaction. Diamond drills are also being used for prospect ing purposes, the power being cabled from the plant at the camp to any point at which the drill is opera ted The company arc also doing a large amount of development work on the Olivette, and other claims on the oppo- site side of the mountain from their main shaft.

the Anlietam, and while Mir. Crowley
 was not at home, he was neverthe- less granted the privilege of descend ing the shaft. At depth of 75 feet drift is being driven each way from the shaft, which is all in sulphide ore of high grade. The shaft, 9x9, is something more than loo feet deep and Is all in ore which will average l6 per cent. in the bottom. Nothing but ore Of a good shipping grade is coming out of the shalt. Owing to the lack of ade- quate hoisting facilities, the develop
 ment work has progressed rather slowly, but sufficient amount of work has now been done 10 guarantee that the Antietam will become a great pro- ducer. Its development has been the cause Of renewed activity in that part Of the camp, as both the A. C. and shannon companies are now doing con siderable work in that section. Cap tam Arbuckle and E. Schumann through whose property the Antietam vein runs, are now pushing develop ment work, and no doubt will have a property equal to any in that section. John Molder, superintendent Of the ! Home Copper company, was down from the mines this week. and informs the ERA that his company will shortly in- crease its capital stock from $500, 900 to 8, 300, ,000. The coApany was origi- nally formed for the purpose of devel- oping copper claims, but when the de- cline came in the price of the red metal the company ceased work on their copper claims and commenced developing gold claims, of which it fortunately owned several. The de- velopment work on the gold claims has been most satisfactory to the com pany, and from all reports they have a very large body of gold ore which can be mil.ed on the ground at good profit. The increased capitalization is for the purpose of purchasing group of adjoining gold claims, and for the purpose Of erecting large milling plant. which it is proposed to erect on the ground, and pump the water up from the Eagle river. The company will arrange to put its stock on the Chicago market.
