BIG DEAL IS. CONCLUDED
Mitchell SmGItGF People Take Over Property
 OfNaCOLaDdCO.

The Naco Land & Improvement Co, sf which Councilman John Hughes, of this city, is president, has practically closed sale of it's holdings at Naco toI the Mitchell Shelter Company.
 President Hughes spent a portion of the week at Douglas, going there on Thursday, and it was during this visit that the final papers were all but clos ed. The transaction was through the First National Bank of Douglas. Last night it was given out that the formal transfer would occur during the pres ent week
 The ground held by the Naco Land & Improvement Co. covers the or nal townsite of Naco, including j4O acres. Under the terms of sale thai have been arrived at all improvements made by the company. including build ings, are transferred along with the ground to the smelting company. The Naco Land & Improvement Co.,, on completion of the transfer and pay ments falling due herewith, will pass out of existence. The amount of cash involved in the sale has not been star- ed, but 1t will run over s100,000, and it is said will be made in a single cash payment.
 The deal is one of highest import ance to Naco, signifying that despite recent rumors to the contrary, the Mitchell Company is coming in with it's smelter and with evident intention of making other important moves in the town in connection with its reduc- ton plant enterprise. On the very best of authority it was stated last night that the smelting company has the equipment for it's proposed plant ordered. and that tho company will be- come active in the preparation of ground just as soon as the formal transfer of the property of the Naco Land & Improvement Co. is made. The equipment for the smelter is now said to be ready for shipment from the plants of the manufacturers, and in that event can be put on the ground by the time the foundations have been completed on the latter. While the smelter may not be ready for service, by the first of the year. as MT. Mitch ell some time ago stated he expected it would be. it will be ready to handle the large ore supplies that Mitchell properties in Sonora have on hand ear Iy in the new year. Beside this source of supply the company has signed contracts for deliveries of ore from number of properties. and at the start will have no difficulty in employing the seventy men that it has been stat ed operations will begin with.

cLIFToN-moRENcI DISTRICT
New England & Clifton Copper Go. Will Commence Shipping Ore
 December 1.

Frank Clark, foreman of the steel gang of Worden & Allen, left for the Shannon smelter in Clifton Thursday morning with five men. NIT. Clark will start the work on the new build ing for the converters and expects to- return to Norenci in about two weeks
 c. c. Burger, consulting engineer of the New England and Clifton Cop per company, who arrived in camp last week, anounces that the company will commence shipping ore about che first of December. A contract will soon be made either with the Shan non company or the 4. c. company for treating the ores. IC is the in- tention of the management to ship from 500 to 1000 tons per month. The ore will be brought from the mines to North Clifton, where it will be stored in bins to be drawn upon as needed by the smelter. The company ex- poets to be able to ship at a profit ore of as low grade as 10 per cent. The general average of the ore on the dump is much higher than that. It is also the intention of the management 10 at once commence development work on the Antietem and Ohio and  Sharpshooter mines situated near Met calf. Ore win also be shipped from these mines, which are SO situated that they have an outlet via three avenues. either through the Shannon tunnel, the King incline or by wagon road. These mines have made re- markabIe showing for the amount of work done and they will soon be heavy producers. MT. Burger also states that the probabilities are that the company will soon commence the con struction of 2 concentrating plant. The company will put quite a number of men to work on their various proper ties, which with those engaged in hauling and handling the ore will make a perceptible difference in business Fra.

that the county school boards furnish to
every school copies of the State and

question Of penSioning teachers was
brought before the board by the appli-
cation of Il teacher asking to be placed

that the law when passed did not CON

was taken in this particular case, the
general conccnSuS of opinion was that
the beard should look carefully into the
matter of granting teachers pensions,
and if the present law WAS not complete
that some amendments should be offer
ed at the coming session of the LcgiSla-
turc to guard against or prevent the

Rev. Wilbur f. Corkran, ID. D., for
merry presiding elder of the Easton Dis
tlict of the Wilmington NJ. T.. Confer
cnc,. whose dealings in stock have been
aired in puhlic. won Il double victory in
his verdict against Iell n Mcrcerct in
the Superior Court, at Wilmington, on
Monday afternoon. The jury decided
that Dr. CorkrHn did not owe the brol-
crS SS.3S5.2S for advances and inter
cStS upon advances and margins. Dur
in= the trial the court also decided twice
that the stock dealings with Icll X Mer-
ccrct by DIR. CorklTln. We're not illegal
or gambling. The latter ruling was made
when w. w. Knowles. counsel for DR..
torkran. moved for Il non-Suit on the
ground that the stock dealing was an
illegal and gaming transaction. The
second decision WAS made on Il count
in the prayers of the counsel for the
plaintiffs.
1t is thought that the verdict in the
ease coupled with the decision of the
