A CORRECTION.

While the ERA force was busily engaged last week concentrating type from the D. c. tailings deposited in the office by the flood, the flood edi- tion of the paper was gotten out by the Morenci Leader. The ERA was printed from the Leader forms, with the ERA head substituted for that of the Leader. The editor of the ERA had nothing to do with the prepara- tion of matter which appeared in the paper. When the printed papers arrived from Morenci they were at once folded, addressed and mailed, without even being read in the office. Soon after the paper made its ap- pearance on the street there was stormy protest entered from Chase Creek residents over the statement therein contained that the breaking of the D. c. dam only raised the wa ter in the creek few inches. The people of that section were justly indignant, and for a time, paid their compliments to the ERA editor in no uncertain, yet forceful, language. When the matter was fully explained at public meeting that night, they realized that their criticisms had been undeserved.
 The statement that the DTGdkluS of the dam raised the waters of the creek only few inches is contradict ed by every resident of the Chase Creek section. Up to the time of the breaking of the dam there had been practically no damage done along the creek. The people were well prepared for an ordinary flood and the waters were within control. When the water and tailings freed by the bursting of the dam reached town the current was swollen in a few moments to a height of three or four feet, and it was this auxiliary to the already swollen stream, and the additional weight of tine tailings in the water, that caused the tre- mendous destruction along the creek. It was this fact, and the light manner in which the subject had been han died by the ERA that aroused the in- dignation of the people against it. The ERA and its editor re- ceived the double cross in this mat ter, as the shop was flooded to a depth of nearly six feet, and praC- tically ruined, and the editor was blamed for a statement for which he was in no way responsible. The ex- planation, however, was entirely sat | isfactory, and the incident is closed.
 The above statement is thus made l'public in justice to the ERA, its editor, and the people of Chase Creek.
 In this connection the ERA desires to return thanks to the Leader for it's kindness. Barring this one ''little | joker" the paper was a credit to the | Leader, and it's staff.

A GREATER CLIFTON!

For the fifth time in a little more than three years, Clifton has been visited by disastrous flood.
 The flood of last week was far more destructive than any of the preceding ones, but even at this date it would be difficult to estimate the loss with any degree of aCcuranCy. It is sufficient to say that it will ag- gregate several hundred thousand dollars, possibly half million. This is an immense sum, but fortunately the community will pass through this trying ordeal without a business failure! The~companies and business men are able to stand their losses and continue as before, but the heaviest loss will fall upon those who have lost their homes-their all. To them the blow i5 almost irrepara- ble, but they can be thankful that so few lives were lost, and that they yet remain to build a new home and map out new future.
 That Clifton will go on as before there is no question. The town is now at least thirty-fve years old, and during that time it has been visited by many floods, but notwithstanding them it has forged steadily to the front, and with all of its misfortunes, it is today one of the best towns in Arizonal
 But Clifton must have protection from a reoccurrenCe of these floods in the future. That they will con- tinue to come as the years go by is as certain as the fact that they did come in the years that have passed away. We have had ample illustra- tion ot this fact, hence there is no need to discuss 1t further. The ques- tion which confronts the people now is: Shall the town be allowed to drift along as before?
 The potent fact that the town can be protected has been demon strated by the stone wall built along portion of Hill>s addition, the money for which was voluntarily This wall uudoubtly saved that sec tion from serious damage, but it should be raised higher and extended to the mountain above Ward canyon.
 What has been done on Hills flat can be done in other sections, until every part of town is thoroughly pro- tected, and there should be no time lost in making the commencement.
 The people of Clifton are too prone to ''wait for the company to do some thing" They have long since passed the era in which this is company town. Eliminate the companies from Clifton and we still have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in buildings and in business, and it is time, high time, that the people should at least make an effort to protect themselves!
 Why wait for the company to do anything?
 Much money can be raised by pri- vate subscription, and now is the time to get busy!
 Let the property owners start this enterprise, and all of the companies will no doubt then come in and do their part, and more!
 Let us have a rousing mass meeting and start the ball rolling!
 Clifton can, and must, be saved, and the people can do it.

No COMMUNITY on earth ever took its loss with better grace than did the people of Clifton. As an illustration one man on Chase Creek who had lost thousands was looking pretty blue. He was met by friend who said: Smile, damn you, smile, !" and he smole. And so it was all over town. Every man wore a smile. Peo- pie who can do this can build another, and a greater Clifton than the one that now lies in wreck and ruin, and they will do it, too!
The copper era., 1906-12-13

IT IS a mistake to say that Clifton has been ruined, or even seriously damaged by the flood, as there are hundreds of houses here above the "high water mark" While our loss has been heavy it is as nothing compared with San Francisco, Gal weston, or many other towns. It has taught the people a lesson, if they will profit by it, and they surely will. A greater Clifton is now in sight, and let us all work with that end in view.

''THE Basement Sheet" as the Ma jor playfully styled the ERA is still in existence, while the Herald, which was built upon the sands, is scattered from Clifton to Yuma. After the flood the Major had no more home than rabbit, but he was taken in out of the wet and adopted by the ERA, and is temporarily one of the "highbinders" of the Basement Sheet. The ERA is truly sorry for the Major. He not only lost his office. but his business as well, but he takes his loss like the royal old sport which he is. The Majors bright and sunny nature would not permit of his being cast down for any great length of time. He is now out of business, but still "democratic to the core" His ener- gy and ability will soon again place him at the head of some good news paper establishment.

Patterson's addition was dealt hard blow and but four or five build- ings escaped without damage. The walls of the Marston residence oc- cupied by O. J. Cotey, collapsed and ings were flooded, swept away or removed from their foundations. The foot bridge, which was erected high above the water, was also car ried away and the people of that section have to climb the mountain to reach town. The Buzzard roost across the river from Patterson's addition sustained considerable dam age as nearly all of the buildings were constructed of adobe and have crumbled.

Many telegrams were sent from Clifton by the editor ot the ERA to various newspapers, and in almost every instance they were re-edited and distorted almost beyond recogni- tion. The editor of the ERA always states things and happenings as they are, but it seems that facts are not what the sensational newspapers want

The residence of Dan Travis and family, which was located on high ground, received about three feet of water and everything thoroughly soaked. MT. Travis afterwards sold the building to F. O. Bacon, who will repair it at once and occupy it as residence.
 The North Clifton school house came in for a foot of water with de posit of six inches of mud. Slight damage on account of the building settling.
 Mrs. Armija's residence was food ed with a couple feet of water and much damage to contents.
 The A. c. pumping plant was filed with over two feet of mud, also the excavations of Nos. one, two and three concentrators. It required two days to get the gas engines dug out and in running order. Pumps were placed in the river and the city water mains that were not washed away are being supplied with river water.

The gang around the Harvey House club had a pet cat named Maud, of which they were very fond. When the flood was at it's worst one of the boys carried Maud over to the Telephone exchange building, which was above the flood. But Maud was not pleased with the new surround ings, and made her escape through the transom, falling into several feet of water, and as she did not appear for several days it was supposed that She was lost in the flood, but on the third day she made her appearance at the old resort, and was given a great reception by the gang.
 I would like to exchange a good Troemuer assay scales for something else that will require less care and occupy less roou in the house. No objection to kodaks, guns, revolvers and watches if enough of them. Might be persuaded to take phono- graph or graphophone. Enquire at ERA office.
