 at Once.

Realizing the absolute necessity for an outlet for the minesup the San Frauclscp river from Clifton. Col. Dell M. Potter, backed by Illinois capitalists, who are largely interested in that section, has Incorporated a company for the purpose of building a narrow gauge railroad ffoih Clifton to the property Of the Sierra de Orc company, a distance of five miles. Artahg ements have already been made for a connection with the A. & N. M. railroad, and the right-of- way has been secured except across two small tracts of land in the town of Clifton.
 The capital is already in hand and the work of construction will be com menced next month. The road will be built along the west side of the river.
 The charter is taken out in the name ef the Clifton and Northern railroad, which will be a common carrier, and will therefore be the means of bringing the ores from the mines of that section of the Green lee district to the smelting plants of Clifton.
 The incorporators of the cumpany are B. Eldridge, president of the National Sewing machine company, F. F. Eldridge, vice-president of the same company, F. Goodrich, a Chi cago capitalist, and Dell N. Potter and George Reed, of Clifton.
 The New England tramway, which was built last year, is not common carrier, and therefore was of no ben l eft to the district, except to the New i England company,
 The Cliftc. and Northern will | therefore bring that part of the dis trict in close touch with Clifton, and | will be the means of developing many | new mines in that section,

It has been announced in the news papers that Phelps-Dodge will ex- tend their railroad from Nacozari to Guaymas, which will give them an outlet on the Gulf of California. Heretofore the port of Guaymas has been controlled by the Southern Pa cific, which owns the line from Ben son south The extension of Phelps Dodge's railroad to Guaymas means much for that enterprising seaport, and it also means reduced freight rate from the coast to southeastern Arizona, New Mexico and western Texas. It will doubtless be the in tent of Phelps-Dodge to build up a vast shipping business through the port, which will be of immense bene- fit to the entire southwest. The eX4 tension will also open new and fer tile section, as well as a vast mineral field.

The scarcity of fuel is becoming a very serious matter with the smelters of the southwest, and it is now in- evitable that some of them, perhaps many of them, will be compelled to close down for different periods of time during the present winter. In fact some of the mines of the Bisbee district have already closed down for short periods because they lacked coal with which to make steam. So far the Bisbee smelters have been able to keep going though there have been times when their supply was limited to twenty-four hours run. It would not be a surprise at any time to learn that the smelters at Douglas had closed down for few days. And so it is at every plant in the southwest. In the summer and fall they laid in a tremendous supply of coke and coal, which to an amateur appeared to be sufficient to run their plants almost indefinitely. The Arizona Copper company had coal piled up in great ricks at many places between Clifton and HaChita, and yet they are now short of coal. Doubtless they could have resumed operations at their smelters in Cliff ton a week or more ago had they been so QlSpOS6Q, put tue IdCL Is Lu6ll LlGy are also somewhat short of fuel, and doubtless are waiting to accumulate sufficient amount to guarantee them against a shortage in the future All of their immense con- centrating plants are running, and their mines ale also being operated with full force of men, and as they have ample smelting capacity to make up for lost time when they do start, they are really losing nothing by the delay in again starting their shelters. However. the shortage of fuel is bound to curtail the output of copper quite materially, which has q corresponding benefit in strengthen ing the market. The floods and the lack of fuel will shorten the output of the Clifton -MOrenci district during the present month considerably more than 3,OOO,O0O pounds of copper, which is no small item, when it is considered that there is a scarcity of ] copper, as well as fuel.
