STARVATION CONDITION AMONG THE TAILORS
 OF CLIFTON
OF CLIFTON

About S1O0O.O0 per month is sent to Chicago for clothes.
 There are three practical tail ors in Clifton and they are idle most of the time.
 The Bell Tailor manages to find sufficient employment to keep one tailor's board bill paid.
 Why not patronize the Bell Tailor Shop, encourage home industry and at the same time get your suits made for 5000 less than at any other shop in the territory, or even Chicago.
 If you deal with Chicago, l guarantee you are paying 100 per cent. profit, while if you patronize the Bell Tailor you will pay only 10 per cent. profit, and keep the money at home.

A deplorable affair occurred in the North Clifton schools Thursday after noon last. It seems that Professor Reese had quite severely chastized the 11-year-old son of E. Lafave. From all accounty the boy was treated with an undue amount of severity. It is reported that he was not only whipped but was also kicked and dragged around by the hair of his head. When MT. Lafave went to his dinner he heard the boys story, and immediately went over to the school house, where he met the professor within the school house. Lafave states that he asked the professor why he beat the child, and the pro lessor replied that because he had q right to do so. Lafave then struck the professor a blow that knocked him senseless for some considerable time. His face and one eye was badly cut by a pair of glasses which he had on at the time. The pro- lessor was so badly knocked out that ne was not dDle Io IeSuHe HIS uullcS for several days. When the pro- lessor had sufficiently recovered as to be able to do so, he swore out a war rant for Lafave, who was fined $50, from which he may appeal. It seems that when the professor attempted to chastize the boy the little fellow put up a fight, and made things so lively that the professor evidently lost his temper, and no doubt went further than was his intent or desire. This is the professors second term as principal, and up to the present time he has been getting along very well with the pupils.

BASE BALL.

IIIIII uII

Clifton and Morenci lined up for match game of ball on the local diamond last Sunday afternoon and put up one of the best games of the season, the score being 2--I in favor ot Clifton. The lineup on both sides was somewhat changed, though it seemed the change was for the better and it is likely that no further changes will be made for future games. Ashley was in the box for Morenci and pitched a magnificent game. His support way good and the hill city boys all played the game.
 Marquee, the coming pitcher of this district, occupied the slab for Clifton and as usual had things pretty much his own way, allowing but six hits, which he kept scattered. His support was magnificent, one CT Tor being made. Quigley, who has the reputation of being a wonder on one-hand stabs, pulled down a line hit and made a double when a hit would have counted a run and tied the score. He was the star-getting three out of the five hits made on the Clifton side and scoring the two runs that were made.
 It was a surprise to the manage ment of the club that more people did not turn out and at the same time they missed the best game that has been put up on the local diamond for some time. The club has been in poor condition since the failure of the series played with Fl Paso a few weeks ago. Another game has been arranged for next Sunday between the same teams and a hot contest can be expected. Clifton will not go to Tucson until next week as the Tucson team is slightly crippled for players.

1 A. Lafave this week shipped a Car
 of lead.silver-gold ore from his mine
 near Clifton to the Fl Paso shelter.
 If the returns are satisfactory regu-
 lar shipments will follow in the fu-
 ture.
 c. c. Burger, consulting engineer
 of the New England and Clifton Cop
 per company, who arrived in camp
 last week, announces that the com
 pany will commence shipping ore
 about the first of December. A con tract will soon be made either with the Shannon company or the A. c.
 company for treating the ore. It is
 the intention of the management to
 ship from 500 to 1000 tons per month.
 This 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 shelter. The com
 pany expects to- be able to ship at
 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 in tention of the management to at once commence development work on the Antietam and Ohio and Sharp shooter mines situated near Metcalf. Ore will also be shipped from these mines, which are so situated that they have an outlet via three ave- nues, either through the Shannon tunnel, the King incline or by wagon road. These mines have made a re- markable 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 construction of a concentrating plant. | The company will put quite number of men to work on their various prop | critics, which with those engaged in | hauling and handling the ore will | make a perceptible difference in busi- | ness affairs in and around Clifton.
 Jose Garcia, a Mexican in the en- ploy of the A. c. company, was badly burned one day last week. He was around a gas pipe which had blast. He held a torch Tn one hand and when the flame met | the gas quite a flash took place, Garcia about the breast. His clothes were set on fire and | Garcia made the run from the smell ter to the river like d wild man. He succeeded in extinguishing the fire, out was badly burned about the chest and neck. He was immediately to the hospital where he is getting along nicely.

HOUSTON LEADS THE WORLD.
The First Plant for HOuse-Cleaning
 With COmnreAaeh Air.

The recent organization of q com pany in New York to do a regular house cleaning business In the most up- to-date manner-that is by the means of compressed air, was subsequently the means of revealing the fact that such an innovation had been in use for a short time in London, which might indicate that Great Britain was ahead of this country in some respects but still later the fact Is developed that Houston, Tex. is probably the first city in the world to adopt this ad- vanCcd method of cleaning. This com pany has an engine mounted on a large horse drawn truck and pulling this up in front of a house, the company will undertake to clean the carpets, furni- ture and drapery of the establishment without the removal of a single piece of furniture from the premises. An or dinary house may be cleaned in this manner very thoroughly in a single working day. While this mode of pro- cedure is frequently followed, the greater part of the company's busi- ness consists of cleaning furniture and other household articles which have been carted to the companys plant
 The New York concern seems to have the superior process for the req son that the dust is drawn out by the action of the air from its lodging place and conducted to a receptacle outside of the house, and thus seat tering of the dust and the accompany- ing germs is avoided.
