The Bulletin states tha; the Monte Auma nouriug mill, located near that place has been closed indefinitely, which will be loss to the farmers of that section. The mill was built about tive years ago at cost, including water power, ot over SS0,ooo By ar engagement with the Moutezuma and san Jose canal companies the waters Of thei~ ditchcs are diverted through aume thereby furnishing power for the operation ot the mill. It was tg- ured that this would cause great
 saving of fuel and power expense. l This expectation was realized, al
 though the summer floods damaged
 the ditch each year and made expen- sive repairs necessary. The greatest drawback to the success of the enter prise has been the lack of sufficient
 wheat to operate the mill throughout
 the year When in operation the
 plant has always earned excellent
 profits.

Political Matters.

The ERA this week presents i.- readers with three new announce mentS. but strange to say there is not d republican among them. Evidently the repubI teams do not want office, or else they are too busy to give the mat. ter their attention,
 Nit Sfnms. who has flied the office Of county recorder for the past two years. announces in the ERA this week that he Is candidate tO succeed him. self, subject to the endorse ement of the democratic county convention. MT. Simms has given the office his entire time, and the business bis prompt at tentiOu. He is one Of the most pOpu- lar men in his party. His re-nomina- ton is already assured, a. he has no opponent within bis party, nor Is he apt to have. He announces merely to let his friends know that he is willing tO serve them for another term.
 Tn another cOlumr o' this paper will be found the annOuncement of Charles l.. RawlIns, who desires to sncceed himself as district attorney. The re- port of the last grand jury stated that NIT. Rawlin, had tried thirty-seveu cases since being in office, and has se- cured thirty-five convictions, a record not eqUaled ov any other prosecuting attorney io the territory. Mr. Raw lins enjoys the reputation of giving the office his very close and undivided attention.

The ERA is in receipt of letter from its old time correspondent, G. W. Phillips, of Duncan. who says that the new gold strike in the May flower dis trict continues to get better as develop ment work progresses. He also adds that fl the kickers of Duncan and Clifton would let the district alone, it would soon come to the front. It seems strange that people who have never even seen district will give i, black eye, especially when they cannot be benefited thereby.

Base ball seems to have quieted down the last week or so. A game has been on between the Clifton and Silver City teams the past month or more, but so far nothing has been settled. Silver City either has too many games ahead or is afraid of the Clifton ag- gregatiop. The New Mexico boys have q strong team and when they do go up against the Clifton team there will be something doing. It is to be hoped that this game will be pulled of sometime in the very near future as the Clifton people are getting hungry for another good ball game. \ game will most likely be arranged with the Morenci team for next Sunday. Mo- -enci now has three or four pitchers and is prepared to make the game in- tcrcStinS for the Cliftons. Clifton has lost her first basemar nd will have to try a new man for that Hosition. but i, will be diflio .t matte 70 get as good a man as r.jleY.

George T. Millner, the mining en- gineer, who is now looking after the business tor the Weaver mines, was in town this week arranging for another shipment, which will be made in day or two. He expects to soon put up hand jig at the mines which will con- centrate three tons into one and thus not only make a higher product, but also save money in transportation and treatment charges. This will be the first hand jig in the district, but it will doubtless soon be followed by others.

w. l. Slec, O, Australia, arrived iu Clifton few weeks ago for the pur- pose Of installing Hancock jig in the concentrating plant of the Arizona Copper company. The jig has now been in operation about four weeks, and is proving itself a wonder to mIu-
 ing men and others. It is capable Of handling 10 tons an hour when put to its full limit. At the present time it is handling S50 tons in twenty four hours. It does the york of seven figs which were formerly in use in the plant, and requires the same amount oi water as two of the old jigs. It re- quires less than half the room Of one of the old figs. It does its work equal | ID as well if not better than the old machines. In fact it is an all-round wonder, but withall, very simple ma chine. These statements will doubt | lass be regarded with suspicion hy mining aud mill men generally, but the | ERA has the word Of Archie Morrison, lsuDerintecdent of the concentrating plant, as to their correctness. Nr. Slee claims that he can make the jig take the place of the first vanner room, thus making an additional great saving to the company. This is the first Hancock jig in operation in the United States. though they have been in almost universal use in Aus tralia for many years. Nr. Hancock, who invented the jig. is a man of much means, and is in charge of a large
 property at Broken Hill, hence he had neither the tine TOT incentive 10 in troduce the machine throughout the
 world This machine will not only cheapen mining in this district, but
 will also prove the salvation or many

Col. Wm. True. vho is on the da,

 case. The colonel did not volunteer bis services. When SheriG Dell
 Lewis arrived from Tombstone last
 week. Colonel True got a bunch. and
 concluded that it would be a very easy
 thing 70 fool the sheriff, and have some fun. The colonel needed little
 rest anyway as he had been laOOring
 hard for To. these many moons without
 lay of. So he got him some fishing
 tackle and biz bottle of bait. hired
 tea to take him up the river about
 tire miles to his favori,e fishing grounds, where he made a camp in the willows. When the big sherid found his man had skipped he went tO Dutch
 keppler and told him to get the colo nel and bring him iE dead or alive. be did not care much which, but pre- terred him dead. Keppler knew the colonel's weakness for fishing. >o he started up the river, and found his man, who was enjoying a nice siesta among the shady willows. DCtch, realizing that be had hard man to deal with, first got possession o' the . bottle of bait, threw cartridge . into his winchester and then demanded that the colonel surrender instantly. . and without any back talk. The colo mel started to put up fight but when he saw his bait in the possession of the enemy he knew he was gonner as he . could not long survive iu that lonely spot without plenty of bait. so he gracefully surrendered withou, even akiGg shot at the otlicer. After the papers had been served they concilood ,O do a little fishing, while the bait asted, but fortunately 1t was nearly 'xhau>ted at the time, or the chances Ire that they would be fishing yet.
