James MCQuarry. one of the old time miners of the southwest. who spent a year or more in the British possessions, Oregon, California and Nevada, returned to Clifton this week, and was more than we'll pleased to get home. He says there is no country as good as Arizona, and that
 he will never leave it again. Wages are better in Arizona than in any
 other section, considering expenses
 of living. The climate here is far
 better, and everybody has work here
 while in other sections it is hard to get. As mining country he says Arizona is so far ahead of the others that really no comparison can be
 made. He thinks but little of Ne
 vada. Tonapah has one fairly good
 mine. but the camp is over adver-
 tised and is full of idle people. The
 GoldfleldS are producing some won- derfully Iich ore, but only few men are regularly employed. The camp
 has had big boom, but there are
 hundreds of idle, hungry and cold
 people there, who are suffering great ly. but cannot get away. Joe advises all Arizonans to stay at home. They are better of than they think they are. However, one needs a trip oc- casionally to convince him of the fact.

The young men on shannon hill at the mine gave a most enjoyable en- tertainmeut Friday night last under the auspices of the Shannon Library Club, which was attended by a large number of people from Clifton and MorenCi. The entertainment was out of the ordinary, presenting many novel features and was highly enjoy able. After the entertainment dance was given being the first affair of the kind ever given on the hill" All those who attended were loud in their praise of the management of the affair, and the general hospitality shown by all members of the club.

 Nicholas brothers, experienced laundrymen, will open the Clifton steam laundry for business Monday next. As they are energetic young men there is no reason why they will not make d success of the business. The Christmas tree at the Presby- terian Church Sunday evening for the members of the Sunday school classes, was d most enjoyable affair Songs. recitations and dialogues were rendered in q pleasing manner, The church was crowded with interested spectators.
 Tom Jones, who attends the South Clifton schools, met with a mishap Christmas day. which resulted in a broken leg. He is now at the Shan non hospital, and is getting along as we'll as could be expected.
 The postoffice at the mouth of the Blue. which has heretofore been known as Carpenter, has been changed to Boyles, and Mrs. B. A. Boyles has been appointed post mistress. Judge Boyles expects to make his home there in the near future, where he has extensive ranch interests.
 Joe Farquhar personated Santa Claus on wheels Christmas day. He had large float loaded with dolls, toys and candies, which were dis tributed to children in all parts of town. Joe made hundreds of little hearts happy that day, but it is doubtful if any were lighter than his.
 The entertainment given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church on Dec. 26th, was a decided success in every way. We wish to thank all those who helped us with the enter tainment. Especially do we wish to thank Mir. and Mrs. Prettyman whose kind suggestions and helpfulness is appreciated by all. Also the editors of the Copper Era and Herald.

IS BADLY JARRED
Dealt Severe Blows in the
Hearing in Court at
Omaha.
HOTEL REGISTER A WITNESS
Goes to Show That Dennison Was
in Davenport at Time When Omaha
Policeman Have Sworn He Was
Under Their Surveillance.

Omaha, Neb, June 2S.-The Denni.
son case was resumed in the district
court yesterday morning. A surprise
was sprung when the prosecution
produced register of the Kimball hotel
at Davenport, Iowa, with Dennison's
name under date OF November 8,
1892.
This and other evidence seems to
establish the fact that Dennison was
in Iowa during the time the local po-
lice claimed to have Swallowed him
continuously for two weeks when they
said he never left the city. This in
formation Is generally conceded to be
a fatal blow to Dennison's alibi If it
is admitted. The state claims that
Dcnnison dug up the Pollock diamonds
on November 8. Dennison, when
shown the signature would only say:
IF that Is in 1892 it is not my sig
nature"
w. A. inkerton's deposition was
read in court Pinkerton stated he
did not order Dennison Swallowed un-
til November IL. which also tends to
refute the policeman's alibi.
Former Chief of Police Seavey, who
was chief at the time of the diamond
robbery, testified that he never even
heard Dennisons name mentioned and
never saw him until three weeks after
the robbery. When told by Pinkerton
to watch him he said he suspected
one Frank Bruce and not Dennison.
This also refutes the testimony of
the police as to their close watch on
Dennlson Immediately after the rob-
berry.
The deposition of Pollock was that
Dennison called on. him at the Mil
lard hotel after the robbery, which
was contradiction of the police evil
dence. The police testified that they
Swallowed Dennison and tnat the lat
ter never went near Pollock.
Omaha, Neb., June 29.-Tom Denni-
sons hope of establishing his alibi
and thereby escaping extradition into
Iowa has apparently narrowed down
to question of his signature on the
registe, of the Kimball hotel at Dav-
export, Iowa, in November, 1892. To
discredit the authenticity of the sig
| nature, Dennisons attorneys are
straining every nerve. If the signature
| is accepted as genuine, it means that
Dennison was in Iowa very shortly
after the robbery, and at the time
| the diamonds were dug up from the
| ground, where they were buried by
Schercliffe. The establishment Of this
fact is the only point that the state
| of Iowa must prove to secure his ex.
tradition. Consequently, every crook
and curve in the signatures on the
! hotel register nave been subjected to
a most rigid scrutiny with the intent
to prove that they were not written
I, by Dennison. Against the testimony
of three bank experts in signatures,
who stated yesterday afternoon that
| the signatures on the register and the
! signatures on letters which Tom Den.
nison has admitted on the stand that
he signed, were written by the same
| hand, Dennison's counsel today intro
duced three witesses who swore to
| the opposite effect. ~
