A number of men are going out to
the Val Verde smelter on every train
and everybody that shows up there
wanting work has been accommodated
Mr.. Middleton went out yesterday
and started work which will employ
200 or 300 men all told. The transfer
of the smelter to the Bradshaw Noun
tain Copper Mining and Smelling
company will mean much to this Sec
tion and everyone seems to be rejoic-

smelter both get under Roadway they
will give steady employment to about
606 men. The country needs and
wants more such companies.
The spelling match last evening at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. F. K.
Stewart was a very interesting and
instructive entertainment. Owing
to threatened thunder storm, just
about the time for going to the enter
tainment, great many people were
frightened from attending, but while
the attendance was not large the
interest seemed increased. The guests
we're divided into two classes chosen
and captained, respectively by j. E.
Morrison and his wife. The words
given out were the names of counties,
towns mountains and rivers of Ari-
iona. The contest was quite inter
esting, and the first prize, a nice cake,
was won by Miss Block and the sec
ond prize by A. B. Nader.
