cernment singled the Review man out
 for poor half starved orphan. Bill asked us if we had been to Turkey. We had not. Bill says trek with
 me-" We swung onto his coat talk and went. and we had the finest turkey spread in our history, prepared by an American lady, who presided over
 the delightful feast, while the cutest
 th-ee-year-old baby in the country prattled away at the foot of the table. If treatment like that at the hands Of strangers won't loosen up an old stag's heart-strings and tighten up his waist

 | We saw the prettiest hotel in Ari- zona, built on the rustic plan with orn-
 amental columns and cobblestone pam ! nels in the wall, and artistic fireplaces, and a hundred of other artistic, unique
 and artistic features which our limited
 knowledge Of architecture forbids Us to describe. And we saw the gymna- sium, through the kindness of Mir. k. P. Jamison. II is not as large as the one now nearing completion in Eiebee, [ uor does it present such an imposing | xterior, but it is absolutely perfect on ] the inside. MT Webb, formerly of Bisbee, kindly showed us through the
 elegant hotel. Then we saw Superin- | tendent Mills, Mir. McDougal and other
 parties killing turkeys at 450 yards oil hand about every third shot, and We
 saw the smelter and the mud mill and l the concentrator, and we saw town of about 5000 people situated very much as is Bisbee, with houses running
 in terraces in an amphitheatre. And
 we saw Cyclone Bill Beck who ran against somebody for some precinct
 office, got beat and swore that he was
 beaten by "beef, bones and boletos; ;
 and we saw Dutch Keppler with his
 pale blue eye glued on Newtown that
 balmy Christmas day, so distinguished
 by calm, benignannt sunshine on the
 one hand and wild. chaotic human rev
 elry on tho other. We wanted to sec
 the push of the Morenci Standard, but
 it was Christmas, you know. The
 Standard, you know, is over in the par
 of the city known as "dry town" ol
 Sundayschoolville, and the boys, in 1 cluding Charley Zausch, have walked
 over the trail to wet town so much, anC l have worn the trail so deep, you car only see the tops of their hats as they

Old and New Year.

An old man wrinkled with many woes Went trudging along through many snows. It was the thirty-fir of December, at night; He had travelled far and was worn out quite The clock was just on the tick of twelve, When the old man stopped and began to deive' He dug grave in the broad highway, To be trampled upon the coming day. And in it he crept. He had ha dly strength To stretch himself out at his utmost length, When tho clock struck twelve, with a solemn
 tone,
 The old man died without 8 groan. Just then a youth came 1T pping by, With q Holiday look and merry eye Ills back was covered with books and toys, Which he tossed about to the girls and boys He gave one glance at the dead old man, Then laughed aloud. and away he ran But when he returns for ns to view, He will die like the year nineteen hundred ant

THE Bulletin says that the division of Graham county would be a good thing for the old county, as 1t would reduce the tax rate materially, but it has very grave fears that the new county is not able to assume the re- spousibilities of self-government, and for this reason opposes the measure So long as the people Of the new coun- ty are willing to assume the responsi' bility, and inasmuch as the people oi tho old county will be benefited there by, there is no good reason why the Bulletin shouli longer worry itsell over the question.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
TuE ERA i. in receipt Of the anuua

TIE ERA is in receipt Of the annual report Of Jo E. Sheridan. coal mine in- speclor for the territory Of New Mex ico. which contains some astonishing statements in regard to the coal de- posits of that territory. The report says: "Thc magnitude Of New Mex ico's coal deposits are little understood and their importance still less appre- ciated. As is shown in summary, a very conservative estimate places the aggregate area of the coal fields at l .3Gj. 4sO acres, or ?, 1G3.4 square miles, and the coal contained therein at s. 73.8lO, GOO tons, an amount more than twice a, great as all the tonnage of coal ever produced in the whole United States, and which has supplied the wants Of every industry Of the natien since its birth" This state ement is almost beyond belief, yet cminating from such a trust worthy source, sets all doubts at rest as to it's reliability. It means that parts Of New Mexico, and adiacent sections of Arizona, will at some future period become the great manufacturing centers of the west. Much of this coal is at our very doors and can be reached with q railroad from Clifton within one hundred miles or less. This railroad will be built, then with cheap coal, cheap lumber and cheap mining timbers, Clifton will soon become the greatest mining cen ter in the United States.

THE passage of the omnibus bill seems most favorable, notwithstand- ing the opposition of Senator Bever' idge, and his committee. The fotlow ing republican senators will vote Tor the bill, Burton of Kansas; Deitrich of Ncbraskc; Elkins Of West Virginiai Mason of Illinois; Mitchell of Oregon; Forakcr of Ohio; Fairbank Of Indiana: Perkins of California;; Gallinger Of New Hampshire; Warren Of Wyom- ing; Hans borough and McCumber ol North Dakota; Quay and Penrose of Pcnnsylvania and Platt of New York. In addition to this list, Clark Of Wy ominp and Scot: of West Virginia may support the bill, but they were classcd a. doubtful. It is also claimed that Senators Stewart aud Jones oi Nevada favor the bill, but have made no pledges. or the democrats 1t Is said Senator Cockrell will not stand with his party colleagues and it Is said that Senator Jones of Arkansas will vote with tho republicans who are op- posed to the bill.

THE ERA is not a stickler for credits and sometimes receives credit for arti- cles reproduced in its columns which were "going the rounds" However it is never pleasant to the editor to see his articles credited to another paper. Recently an editorial appeared in the ERA anent the wonderful growth of the east end of Graham county, which
 has gone the rounds credited to the Ei Paso News and Solomonville Bulletin. Even the Standard, of Morenci, copied the article and credited it to the News.

George II. Kelly, the great moral re- former of the valley, who edits that renowned religious weekly, the Bnlle- tin, touches up Clifton as follows:
 A city government for Clifton Is the only way in which it's sanitary cOndt- tion can be taken care of in an efficient and proper manner, and the expense nut upon all classes in proportion to their property Of course there are those in Clifton who would prefer that the Arizona Copper Co. foot all the bills and take all the responsibility TOT sanitary regulation. A city govern mcnt could not only be made success in bettering the sanitary conditions oi Clifton. but it could be made to serve il good purpose in cleansing the mora atmosphere of "the row." very much 10 the credit of public decency.
 Now, George, you may be torgiver this time for meddling in our family affairs, but please let our skeleton res in its closet. The Clifton people arc capable of taking care of their owr affairs, and they will not brook inter ference from outsiders. We have ou crosses to bear, but we don't care t. have our follies and vices heralded al over the territory.

| last week because the Guardian advo- cated that the people should have an opportunity of understanding the ei- feet Of county division before such an act is passed by the legislature. The Guardian has never opposed division and never expects to, because we De- lieve this portion of the county would be the rainer Tn a financial way. But we cannot agree that such an import ant step should be taken before the matter is thoroughly understood oy the people. and when ever any one au- vocates gag rule they are treaolnS dangerous and unfair ground dian.
 The matter ot county division has been before the people for several years. It has been an issue Tn the political conventions, columns of edl- torial matter on the subject, both pro and con, have appeared in the news papers for years, and it has long been | the subject of general conversation throughout the county. The Stafford Commercial Club, by unanimous vote only few months ago, passed reso- lution strongly fayoring it, and yet the Guardian, apparently, has just heard of it! Great goodness, John, wake up!
 The Guardian, like the Bulletin, be- lieyes that the old county would be the gainer by division, yet it hesltates to cast it's influence for division for the reason(?) that it is afraid the"matter Is not thoroughly understood by the peo- ple." Now there is logic and reason for you. Kelly gave practically the same excuse, but Kelly is from Mis- souri, and ot course has to be shown Now Mr. BirdnO, if division is good thing for the old county, as you ana MT. Kelly both affirm. and the people of the new county are satisfied tha' they really and truly "understand the matter" then of course you will favor division. There is nothing else Tor you to do. You have committed your self to it and can't get around 1t.
 The people of the east end are tirec of the patronizing way in which they are treated by the old political bosses whose real reason for opposing divis ion is that they will lose some Ia pickings. Nearly two-thirds of th' people of the county live in the pro posed new county. They pay abou two-thirds of the taxes Of the county though the records do not show tha
 they own two-thirds of the property
 but they PAY their taxes, while count less columns of the Guardian are nov filled with list of property mostl.
 from other sections of the county r which has been sold to the territor for taxes.
 Mr. Birdno treats us like step-child . ren. He assumes that we do not kno' . what is good for us, but of course h
 does. No, he is not opposed to dlvlslo , but only wants to give the people "a n opportunity of understanding the e n fleets of it before the act is passed.
 It is Q brilliant idea, but most difficu
 to carry into execution, for how ca U we know the effect of it without tr!
 ing it. Must we take Mir. Birdno an
 Mir. Kelley's words for it, or shall W
 throw of their yoke, declare curse a yes as free people, capable of doln h our own thinking, and demand ot rights from the legislature?
