necessary to exercise the greatest
economy in every branch OF the
work, but also TO build railroads, and
expensive reduction plants, employ
ing every modern device which might
cheaper to an appreciable degree the
cost Of treatment. Processes and ma
chinery are used which were espici-
ally designed to meet exactiDg con-
ditions, and the mechanical devices
and business systems employed at
Clifton and Morenci indicate engineer
ing and executive ability of the high
est order. To bring these enterprises
to their present high degree of eff
cheney has required many years of
labor and experiment, and the ex-
peuditure of millions of dollars. Mex
lean labor has been employed in the
district from the beginning OF mining
there. and the present management
found the conditions in the labor field
which prevail today existing when
they came into confederation
which they did not initiate, and are
responsible for, except that any radi-
cal change has been found impracti-
cable. These conditions are not what
we would like to see, but as they were
of small growth and are firmly root
ed, so amy pronounced change or re-
form in that direction must neces-
sarily require some time to effect. If
press reports are to be relied upon, a
very good beginning has been made
by the companies in refusing to en-
ploy the Italian miners who were
found to he the most dangerous ele-
ment involved in the recent strike"

FLOOD SUFFERERS.
Committee Appointed to Ascertain
Losses-Relief Expected.

As announced in the ERA last week
the food sufferers Of Chase creek held
a meeting and appointed a committee
70 interview the companies in regard
10 the damages sustained by the food.
y second meeting was held Monday
night last for the purpose OF receiv-
ing the report OF the committee.
Mr. Gatti, chairman OF the commit
tee said they were pleasantly received
by Mr.. COlquhOun, who stated that he
was willing to do all in his power TO
assist matters, but should the citizens
decide to fight the case his company
would fight it through to the last.
Mr.. ColquhOun further stated that
Dan Lynch had promised that should
they build the stone wall, "a they did,
that the people would not ask for dam
ages. etc, but said he would see what
the company in Scotland would do.
He further said the company would a.
soon "a possible take the :ailings out
Of the creek, or rather quit using it
for that purpose. Mr.. ColquhOun
went over the ground with the com
mittee as far as Harper's mill and
agreed to put up a substantial wall
sufficient to protect the town.
We then called on Mr.. Mills and he
stated he did not think the people
would be able to force them to pay any
damages. But stated that he would
have Mr.. Douglas come and look over
the premises, but first wanted to as
certain 20 what extent the people
were damaged. He expressed his
sincere regret that the flood caused so
much damage, etc.
Mr.. ColquhOun appointed Mr.. Will
liams to represent the company in
this matter rs an adjuster and sug-
gested that the people appoint an
other, and should these two not agree,
they we're to appoint third.
The committee on going to MOrenci
met Mr.. Geo. Webster and agreed to
appoint him to represent the people.
The committee told Mr.. Mills of
this appointment. Mr.. Mills seemed
to be satisfied with it, and stated that
he would be glad to receive the report
of the committee.
y motion was made by Mr.. HOlguin
to receive the report of the committee
and place it on file. Seconded by Mr..
Gatti. Motion carried.
Motion by Mr.. Killifer that c. Z.
Dunn be appointed as an adjuster to
Mr.. Williams. Motion that Father
Timmerman be appointed. Moved
and seconded that Geo. Webster be
appointed. Ballot resulted as follows;
G. f. Dunn, 30; Geo. Webster, /; Tim
norman, Il.
C.P. Dunn elected As adjuster for
Chase creek.
Motion moved and seconded that
committee be retained as before, car
ried. Motion to adjourn until further
order, carried. Adjusters to have
their report in by one week from
date.
The board of arbitrators are now
receiving statements of amount of
loss received by the citizens, and for
that purpose will be at Library Hall

TIM newspapers OF the territory
havo had their say about foreign
corporations" and foreign labor
troubles IN this district. With due
regard to their opinions. the EEN'S
strong regard for truth causes it to
again remark that the troubles were
entirely due To the eight hour law,
with which neither foreign corpora
tious nor foreign labor had anything
To do. There is only one foreign com
pany operating in this district, and il
has done as much for Arizona rs any
other one company operating in the
territory. and more, too. The Detroit
copper company is n close corporation
owned 10y Phelps. Dodge * Co. of New
York, whose energy, money and lib
crafty have contributed greatly to-
wards making southern Arizona what
it is today, the most prosperous sec
ton OF America. Tho seat Of the
trouble was at their camp. How
ever. this has nothing to do with the
strike. or the causes leading up To it,
W hich have heretofore boon explained
in these columns. What we object
to principally is the serious attempt
on the part of these papers to place
-tl..,-l,latttt- on foreign companies"
aud foreign labor Why not be
honest about ii and come out and say
that thc eight hour law was n serious
mistake. The people here, who are
most Interested. know that this is
so. Others know it, but will not
acknowledge il.

TuE Globe Belt has a very sensible
editorial anent the labor conditions in
this section As follows: several of
our contemporaries, commenting edi-
torially on the Clitton-Morenci strike,
are rather severe in their criticisms
of the mining companies in those
camps for the employment of so great
percentage of foreign labor. In
our opinion these structures are not
fully justified, and have been made
by some writers without sufficient
knowledge of the conditions existing
in that district. Before condemning
the Arizona and Detroit companies,
the difficulties which they have had
to overcome in developing their bust
ness to a point where it became re-
munerative. should be fully consid-
cred. AS is we'll known, the ore
mined by those companies averages
less than 1 per cent, and in order to
handle and treat this product sue
cessfully, not only has it been found

In the first opening OF Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encouut-
cred much bad water, which, together
with the severe heat, gave him a very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and along in
June the case became so bad he ex-
pected to die. One day one OF his
neighbors brought him one small bot
tie OF Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy As a last hope.
y big dose was given him while he
was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in a few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect OF
the medicine was soon noticed; within
an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for fortnight. That
one little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel disor-
ders being at hand suggests this item.

RAILROAD
ASSESSMENTS.
Railroads Taxed at an Assessed
Valuation of $4,000 a Mile.

The territorial board OF equaliza-
ton finished the business OF the June
meeting and adjourned.
The total assessed valuation of rail-
road property in this territory for
1908 is S6,4l9. 3D. 20, being an increase
Of 8l.45l lis rs over that for 1902.
This increase is due to the exemption
expiring under which the ella Valley,
Globe &; Northern. United Verde & Pa
ci6c, and 20.3 miles Of the FL PasO &
South western railroads were con-
structed, and to the amount of taxes
to be paid by the Santa Fe Pacific
railroad company, whose road is to be
taxed at the rate OF Sl1j per mile of
main track This is the tax fixed by
act Of congress, approved June p,
1902, and it is estimated that this tax
is equivalent to an assessed valuation
Of -, 900 per mile
In the cases of the ella Valley,
Globe & Northern, the United Verde,
and that part Of the FL Paso & South
western between Bisbee and Benson,
whose periods of exemption did not
expire until last March, the state
mcnts of the roads were accepted, and
it was agreed between them and the
board that though they could not be
taxed for only part of Il year. the as
se7amcnt would be made on a basis of
nine months, though it was under
stood that it should be to cover the
whole year. The valuations as to
these roads are therefore apparently
lower than those of the other roads.
The mileage Of taxable railroad prop
crty is 1879 miles more than last
ycar-l7S.9 miles were added by new
property, but one mile was deducted
in the case of the Arizona u New
Mexico railroad, which has made Il
cutoff causing the difference.
As the ERA minated last week,
John Bidno, the new assessor OF Gra-
ham county. has acquitted himself
with some degree of credit in lis as
scssment Of the county. 1t is quite
likely, however. that the board OF
supervisors will materially increase
his returns in some instances. 1t was
Mr.. Birdno's first experience in this
line Of business, aud while the result
is not what was apprehcndcd. it can
be said that he at least made an non
est effort TO make a fair an equitable
assessment of the property OF the
county. The grand total shows
valuation on all kinds OF property of
y, CO., 923.l1 This valuation as re-
turned 10y the assessor, Is an increase
over last years cqualizcd valuation OF
$3.50 ,99O.35. OF this increase the G..
v, G.. * y. Ky. constitutes S191 900,
leaving a gain in other property OF
3ll2, 99O.55. OF this amount of in
crease the Arizona Copper Co. repre-
SCENTS about $33, 600 This leaves an
increarc in the balance of the county
Of about SOS, 600 This increase is
raadc up principally in land and i'm
provcmcnts in agricultural sections.
Live stock is the only class OF prop
erty that has diminished to any great
extent, and that principally in the
west side OF the county. On account
of last years drought the losses there
were very great, besides thousands OF
head were shipped out
