H. B. Ball, shelter foreman at the Shannon, left this week on visit to his family at Great Falls, Montana He will "take in'' the Portland ex- position before returning. He will be accompanied on his return by Mrs: Ball, who will reside in Clifton in the future.
 Capt. John Little, who has been with the Martin-Sloan cattle com pany in Grant county for the past fifteen years, came to Clifton this week to see what d town looked like. He was taken in charge by Johnny Cromb and shown the sights of the metropolis.
 Valentine Caldwell, of Minaca, Mexico, arrived in Clifton this week on business trip. Mi. Caldwell first visited this section in 1873, before the town of Clifton was in existence. He is something of an old timer, and is well known to most old time set tiers.
 w. H. Bluhm left this morning for Lordsburg, where he will finish paint ing a coach for the A. & N. M. He was accompanied by Col. Billy True, who is an artistic decorator along certain lines and has something of a reputation as d town painter. Painting and decorating coaches is new feature in the cOlonelS eventful career, but he is capable of rising to the emergency.
 Lige Stevens, who is the champion drill polisher at the Crawford mine, returned last week from a visit to his mother at Santa Rita, N. M He re- ports much activity in mining circles in that section and also at Ivanhoe. In fact he reports all that section of New Mexico as greatly improved dur ing the past year. However, Lige prefers the Clifton district, and all ways returns when he gets tired loafing.
 J. O. Baylor, who is connected with | Cromb & Shannon's meat market as chief clerk, left "Wednesday morning for Texas, where there is some one waiting for him. He is a member of the New Mess, and of course it is a certainty that he will not return to Clifton alone. MT. Baylor will be absent about ten days, during which time he will devote his entire energy and ability in persuading her to come to Arizona, and if she says no it is probable that he will not return quite so soon. MT. Baylor has host of friends in Clifton who wish him complete success.
 F. w. Herzke,. who has been with the A. c. company for the past five years, left last week for the Rosebud Agency in Montana, in answer to an advertisement which recently ap- peared in the newspapers asking for husbands for one hundred and twenty comedy maidens of that section. The advertisement stated that the ladies were all young and beautiful, and each owned farm of 120 acres, but that they were lonely and wanted some one around the place to cheer them up little. Fred has no need of farm, but the ad. of those lonely, lonely maidens touched him in ten der spot, and he could not resist the desire to give the dears a call. He may return to Clifton, and then again he may conclude to cultivate the soil at Rosebud.

In a way the Clifton Morenci min ing district has been very quiet for the past year, but at the same time
 there is more doing than ever before in the history of the district. The companies have largely increased their outputs over last year, and are still materially adding to their plants which will still further increase their facilities. The camp is now out putting close onto COCO, ,O00 pounds per month, and with the increased facilities now being put in it is safe to say that by the first of the year the output will be increased to be- tween 100000 and S,OO0,O pounds per month. Such an output is bound to attract the attention of outside capital, looking for copper proposi
 tions. The principal drawback to the district has been the fact that the ore as d class is low grade, but this, to a certain extent, is overcome by the additional fact that it exists in large bodies. To make a success in copper mining in this district re-
 quires the investment of considerable capital, but when that is forthcoming the Company'S future seems assured because the ore bodies seem ineX- hauStible. However, the company must be in a position to handle ore in large quantities. Owing to the fact that ore exists in such large bodies in this district the usual risk of mining is here reduced to a minimum. Mining in this district is more of manufacturing proposition. The ore is here and can be had in almost any quantity, but it is of low grade as a class and must be handled on big scale in order to secure the best results. That the district will and it is also a fact already demon strated that mining can be done here cheaper than in almost any district in Arizona. Nearly all mines are opened and operated through tunnels doing away with the expense of hoisting. But little timbering is re- quired and so far there has been no water to contend with, which makes economical work possible. Taking all things into consideration, copper is made here as cheaply as in almost any camp except Jerome, where the ore is exceedingly high grade. With the improved machinery of concen- tratiOn now being introduced in the district it is possible that many mines will soon be in operation which have heretofore been of two low a grade to pay. The building of the $. P. road from either Clifton or Globe to the coal and timber fields of Colorado, which now seems an as sured fact, will still further tend towards reducing the cost of mining.

Austin Morris, who is night guard and also deputy sheriff at Morenci, had trouble with couple of drunken and disorderly Mexicans, who made an assault upon him when he was trying to arrest them. When the trouble was over one of the Mexicans was dead, and the other one was locked up. A coroner's jury was summoned and after a careful ex- animation into the facts, the officer was exhonorated, the verdict being that the shooting of the Mexican was justiiable.

The New England and Clifton con- pany which has been in a comatose condition for the past year or more, will doubtless soon be in a position to resume operations on an extensive scale. This company has some of the best mines in the territory, with a vast tonnage of high grade ore ex- posed in the workings-Ore that will average 15 per cent-and why they have not been more active in the development of the property is a mystery not easily explained. That the company is composed of many of the most wealthy men in the United States is a conceded fact, and yet there has been drag to the enter prise which is most annoying to stockholders, at least to those resid- ing in the district, and who know that the mines are the most promis- ing in Arizona. Copper is now at a price which justifies the company in making every effort to produce.

The work of driving the tunnel through the mountain to connect the Humboldt mine with the Arizona Cop per company's new concentrator is being rapidly pushed and three shifts of workmen are working at both ends of the tunnel. The end near the new concentrator site is about one hundred and thirty feet and the Humboldt end is in fully forty feet. In the course of two weeks or more the force will be greatly enlarged and the work will be rushed to com pletion. This will make employment for large number of men and to- gether with the construction work of the Detroit Copper Mining company will almost overflow the camp. This marks the prosperity of the district and is evidence of the great confi- -dence these two great companies have in the future of their mines.- Morenci Leader.

Il gave him one look of disdain and

to waste on blooming idiots like you.
Good-day, sir'"
The Inventor chuckled as he told this
story. His beaming countenanCe showed
that he was filled to OverlOwing with the
milk of human kindness; but in spite of
that fact he was overjoyed at the thought
of getting even" with the man who had
done him what he thought to be an injury.
x
The Statesman looked up as the In
ventor ceased speaking. Speaking of
visionary things he said, Il am re-
minded of an incident that occurred
shortly after l entered Congress. a con-
stituent of mine desired to obtain posi-
ton in the Post-Office Department.
Civil service had just come into vogue,
and at my suggestion he went into the
examination He did we'll with arith-
metic and the other fundamental re-
qurements; but there was one question
that staggered this man, who had for
gotten a great many of the things he
learned while at school. 1t was this
How near is the moon tC the earth?'
The question must have reused his
slumbering passion, for he wrote this
answer: 1t is not near enough to in
terfere with the proper performance of
the duties of the position for which |
am applying. 80 ~
The Coroner looked up as the States
man had finished his little story. "Speak-
ing of thoughtless things" he said re
minds me of an incident that occurred in
the ordinary routine of my office. Some
of the experiences in the life of Coroner
are pathetic, and some are ludicrous. 1t
seems to me that this particular case
was a mixture of both. a man called
at the office to examine a body that had
been fshed out of the river. A friend
of his had mysteriouslv disappeared and
he was going the rounds in an endeavor
to solve the mystery. The body that
had been found was not that of his
friend and as he was leaving | said;
1t will be good thing if you leave
a description of your friend on file in
this office Dead bodies are being
brought here constantly, and it may
be possible that your description will
assist in the identification.
" He gave me the description in detail,
describing the size and complexion of
the man, with the color and quality Of
the clothing that he wore. As he passed
out of the office he yelled back:
There was one thing | forgot to tell
you. My friend had an impeachment in
his speech ;"
All of the men in the smoker laughed
at this story, but none more heartily than
the Detective. The Inventor noted this,
and said to the thief-taker:
i've told about my first invention
now you tell us about your first arrest :"
The Detective smiled grirnly at the
recollection of his early days, and said
The chief under whom | first served
vas one of the finest men | ever knew
When | asked him what my duties We're
to be, he said l would have to acquire
a knowledge of them by degrees. In
the meantime, he told me to be Jealous
and energetic in all that | did. The city
had passed an ordinance imposing a
fine on pedestrians who walked on the
