ASH PEAK DISTRICT.


Carl WaEste1i,S miGiug engineer OF
note throughout the western country,
spent few days in Clifton this week
looking after the interests OF his COM
pany which is now operating extensive
~ at Ash Peak. Mr.. Wulsten is 4
49er, and has been mining ever since
that time. He made fortune placer
mining in California during the sos
and then took q course in the mining
department OF the university at Berlin.
Germany, since which time he has
been engaged as a mining expert and
as manager for mining companies.
Mr.. Wulsten is quite enthusiastic over
the mining outlook for the Ash Peak
country. and presents the ERA with
the following in regard to that section:
This great volcanic region is destin-
ed soon to become factor in the ore
production OF Graham county. The
great basaltic dykes, which seem to
have their shpaerosideritic center
northw west from the peak, have cut,
faulted and uplifted the carboniferous
sandstone formation of the whole re-
gion and thus produced large area OF
mineral bearing semi-volcanic detritus
carrying uplifts, which are found upon
close examination TO be ribbed with
mineral bearing seams and crevices.
Copper is in evidence almost every
where in this district. The surface
evidences are fossil-like beau shaped
molecules OF silicates, bearing not only
the pure silicon but also subsilicons
aud bisilicons, which have accepted the
copper carbonated and ammoniated
solution. forced up, under static pres
sure, through the loosely existing con-
traction crevices OF the uplifted car
boniferous strata. This evolution &C.
Cured during the post corboniferous
geological period, when the whole
region yet was silGrean ocean. All
Arizona shows this peculiar geological
evidence. All the now existing and
isolated mountain ranges OF the terri
tory are silurean lies. The plains be-
tween these show plainly their devonian
and carboniferous origin; hence these
very plains are all underlaid with coal
and coal oil. Ash Peak district is
probably one OF the youngest enema
tions during post silurean and ter
cerean volcanic activity, hence its min
eral evidences are found so plainly upon
Its rock-ribbed uptilts in the carbOnit-
erous, wherever basaltic dykes are in
diagonal surface evidence"

Federal Smelter Closed.

a Herald man called at the city offices
OF the Federal Copper company to-
day and asked why the smelter is closed
down. He was told that the company
did not want to discuss the topic and
or sources it is learned that the recent
decline in copper ore has to do with
the closing down of the smelter here.
The price has dropped in the past few
months from seventeen cents to eleven
and n half cents and there seems to be
disposition on the part OF the pro-
ducers OF copper to wait until the price
goes up before resuming the produc-
tion.-El Paso Herald.

The Era says the Guardian gave il
the first Information it had that two
schools were maintained for several
months last year. Why, bless your
soul, Bro. Bull, wo knew that all the
time. You should take more interest
in your schuols and keep posted. But
as you haven't We will gladly furnish
you any Information on your schools
hat you may desire.-Guardian.
Well. Brother Birdno, since you are
so kind as to volunteer the information,
please state where these two schools
were located, and who taught them.
The Era still pleads ignorance of any
second school having been taught here

Both schools were taught in Clifton;
Mr.. Williams was one teacher and

ploSed only two teachers when at least
four were needed. The Guardian con-
veyed the Information to the people OF
the county that Clifton maintains two
separate schools for full term, and
then had something like $500 left over.
The facts are As stated in the ERA
some time ago, that the scholastic
population of Clifton and Morenci has
increased so rapidly each year that
not moro than ons-half the funds neces-
sary TO maintain the schools have been
available. Clifton's new school house
will soon be completed, and then five
teachers should be employed, with only
sufficient funds on hand for three
The law provides that a certain per
cent. OF all school funds shall be set
aside each year to be pro rated on the
following year among the districts
showing an Increase OF school children.
This is good law, and it should be re-
spected in this county. The bulk OF
the taxes are paid in the east end of
the county, aud the people naturally
feel that they are entitled TO what the
law allows them, and they propose to
have it in the future.

Christmas was celebrated in Clifton in
the usual manner, and everyone seemed
to have IA royal good time. Many Inter-
esting happenings took place during
the week, few of which an ERA re-
porter had the pleasure OF noting. A
piece OF cord wood about ten feet long,
six inches square and weighing about
fifty pounds, was carried by couple
OF the boys to numerous places and
mortgaged for the drinks, which, judg-
in- from their appearance, proved to
be a profitab scheme. On another
day the "burro ride" took place. 1t
was performed by several of the crack
riders and those who saw the exhibit
tion report that it was an excellent
display OF riding ability. The titles
OF the acts were: The Hen On" aud
THE Wood on" both OF which were
very appropriate. The next time
Teddy" wants rough riders he will
know where to ind them.
