FROM THE MAYFLOWER.

We learn that it is being said that the district has no permanent water. Now, we will admit that there are no rivers running through the district every two or three miles, but we have surface water in hundreds of different places throughout the dis triCt that never was known to go dry during our dryest seasons, besides this, we don't know of shaft being put down fifty feet in the district but what has struck water-it's been the great drawback to the prospector too much water. No, the great trouble is, people come in here ex- peCting to find a mine. 1 suppose if we had mine that was paying a dividend we might be able to get d few thousand dollars for it.
 What were the Clifton mines thirty-five or forty years ago? Were they paying mines to start with? If they were the man that first sold them must have been "a big sucker' so we claim that if we had a paying mine it wouldn't be for sale. We wouldn't thank a man to come and look at it, but we only have a prospect and we are trying to get people interested with money to make mine, just as Clifton had to have to make it what it is today, but the trouble is you can't convince them that there is anything outside of Clifton, that there is no show of ever starting up another camp, so if such is the case we proSpectors had just as well lay down the shovel and the hoe. Its all been found. No use hunting any more. KNOCKER.

SOUTH CLIFTON SCHOOL.
A New Building to be Erected to Cost
 S6,5OO.

The series of meetings which have
 been held in South Clifton school dis trict for the past few weeks, culmi- ated Monday night last in accepting a proposition from Henry Hill of a site for the erection of a new school building The site selected is on the east side on high ground, adjoining the new addition recently laid off by MT. Hill.
 At the meeting a proposition was read from the Arizona Copper com pany offering to put in slag break water to protect the old school build ing providing the residents of the flat would construct the roadway over which the slag train could be run and providing further that the old line as heretofore recognized as the north line of the district should in the future be considered the per- manent line of the district. After this proposition was read the ques- tion was put on the selection of the new site, and carried by a vote of 66 to 1.
 After the question of the site had been disposed of there was consid- erable discussion as to the manner of procedure by the board. Many present favored the erection of a new building not to cost more than 5000, which sum is now on hand, and the retention of the old building un- til after the proposed breakwater shall have been completed. It was pointed out that two rooms of the old building could be used for school purposes, which in connection with the proposed new 5000 building. would be ample to accommodate the schools for the present year. Should the breakwater then be built it was claimed that the old building could be reconstructed at sum not to exceed 2,500, which would give the district ample accommodation for several years to come.
 However, this matter is now left entirely with the board, which will no doubt use it's best judgment in the matter. The board is now advertis- ing for the erection of a new build ing to cost not more than S6,5 Of this sum the district has S3,000 and the old building, which can be sold for cash for probably $500 or 5000, or it can be torn down and the ma terial used in the construction of the new building. Architect Creighton, who inspected the old building for the territorial board of control, esti- mated that the loss of tearing down and removing the old building would not exceed 40 per cent. of it's origi- nal cost, which was S6, 600. If this estimate is correct the material in the building would be worth more to the district than the building and ground could be sold for, and it is doubtless with the intent of using this material that the advertisement was prepared asking for bids on plans for S6,5G0 building
 The ERA is of the opinion that he district would get more for it's money by repairing the old building. This could be done by immediately com menCing work on the breakwater, and as soon as it is advanced suf- fcieHtfy to ford the -bGilding lem pQrary protection then the recon structiOn of the building could be commenced. This would postpone the opening of the school for a few weeks, but that is apt to occur any way, as it will take some time to erect a new building.

 St. Petersburg, June 26.-The red flag of revolt has been raised at Warsaw, Kovno, and other places in Russian Poland, out of sympathy with the victims of the rioting at Lodz and so far as these cities are concerned the situation almost ap- breaches the dignity of open re- bellion.
 Three big Socia1istic parties in Russian Poland are well organized and have some arms, but the authOri- ties claim they have no chance to succeed single handed.
 The main danger lies in its spread to the Socialistic organizations in other parts of Russia, with which those in Russian Poland are closely allied.

Quite number of people have left Clifton during the past few weeks, and in their haste to get away they forgot to say goodbye to old time friends. One of them was stopped at Duncan by q deputy sheriff. and coughed up $125 before he was al lowed to proceed. Another one was brought back and liquidated in the sum of $50. Some others got away but left friends here who will remem- Der them for some time. Most of these people left good positions, and had plenty of money. Such conduct makes it hard for deserving people who need accommodations occasion ally.

The charges of the grand jury were based upon charges made by an expert, P. H. Hickey, who was employed by the county to examine the records. When the grand jury was examining the matter, MT. Hitchcock was noti- fled of the alleged shortage, and at once made the matter safe by paying into the treasary any and all amounts claimed to be short.
 The Clifton Water company this week made connections with it's pumping plant up the river. and the town is again supplied with good water. The mains were washed away by the floods of January last, and the river remained so high for months that new pipe could not be taken up the river until within the last few weeks. The new pipe line has been laid along the mountain above the river bed, and is safe from high water. Since the floods, the town has been supplied with water pumped direct from the river, which is now replaced by water from the company's deep wells, which is much purer and better than that heretofore in use.
