The agent of great life insurance

most prolific causes of death among the
old customers of his company was their
retiring from business and devoting
themselves to "taking care OF them

than they are apt to admit-for thirty
or forty years, he does not easily find
anything to take it's place.
Besides, if nervous complaints are
the result of work, why is it that people
who "toil not, neither do they spin, "
have the worst nerves of all The

Work can, of course, become a nerve

and expeditions method of getting to

The stress of life is making the mum,
ber of sufferers from nerves greater
and greater every day.
Such is the information / find staring
at me in my newspapers, and there
seems to be considerable amount Of
truth in the statement that the army
of nervous people is growing. If they
were not, 1 should hardly see such an
abundance of remedies advertised in
the papers and placarded on the walls.
Many of MY acquaintances, too inform
me that they have not got "the nerves
of a cat," an physician informs me
that nervous Reorganization is respon-
sible for supplying him with half his
patients.
Things are said to be even worse in
some other parts Of the world. Lynch,
the war correspondent, declares that he
met an abundance of people who re-
garded him with wonder and envy be
cause he dared to drink a cup of coffee
after dinner He seemed to them a
man of wonderful nerve. If they drank
one the effects would be awful. Their
nerves would not stand It. A short time
since a multi-millionaire was offering
q million dollars to any one who would
restore his digestive system which had
broken down under nervous strain-to
sucha state Of efficiency that he should /
be able to enjoy his meals, and no one
appears 10 have secured the fortune.
Nerves ara things worth attention.
Do we work hardi My friends assure
me they are martyrs to the fearful de-
mands made upon them. /
In the first place, however, ii is not
wosk so much as work done under bad
conditions that bring people to such an
state.

THE president and the republican
members of the senate do not seem

illustrated by the fact that the rate

now championed by Tillman and other
democratic senators. However, Roose-
welt is equal to most any emergency.
and he will get a measure of some
kind through. 1t may not be what he
wants, or that the people want, but
it will be starter in the right direc-
ton. 1t is now quite apparent that

DR.. Egon and daughter, formerly
of Lordsburg, who have been rum
ming a shooting gallery in Clifton for
some weeks past, have decided to To-
cate here permanently, and the
doctor has purchased the lot upon
which his gallery now stands. He
will shortly erect new building and
will have a first-class gallery. The
doctor finds that nearly all of the
Clifton people are good shots. When
the new gallery is opened certain
days will be set aside for the ladies,
many of whom shoot well.

The ERA has not as yet been able
to discover any republican candidate
for the county Offices, but doubtless
they will soon lay aside their modesty
and place themselves in "the hands of
of their friends" There are many
capable men among the republicans,
who could fill the offices with credit
to themselves, and with satisfaction
to the people, but they seem too
deeply engrossed with private bust
ness to be tempted by the fat plums
at the county seat.
The copper era., 1906-04-05
THE WILD CAT MINES.

The Wild Cat mines of Santa Rita,
which were formerly owned by the
Clifton Copper company, and in
which Clifton people were largely in
terested, having put up the money
which opened up the property and
built the plant, furnish a striking
illustration of mining ventures, es-
pecially on properties not fully paid
for. These claims were incorporated
into company by Col. P. R. Smith,
of Deming, about five years ago, who
as above stated raised the principal
money for development purposes in
Clifton, and built a plant, but owing
to the inability of the company to
obtain a good millman the plant was
not an immediate success, which led
many to believe that the mines were
what names implied-wild cats.
This prevented the colonel from
raising the money to make the pay
ments on the property as they fell
due. Some extensions were secured,
and finally the owners made arrange
ments to sell to other parties. AS it
happened the last day of the option
held by the colonel fell on Sunday.
In the meantime the colonel had
raised the money to protect his inter
ests, and on Monday was in Silver
City with the cash, but the original
owners then refused to accept the
money, and litigation followed which
lasted several years. The original
owners took possession, turned the
property over to the new people and
development work was continued.
Last fall the case which had been
referred to master in chancery was
decided in favor of the original own
ers. This decision was approved by
District Judge Parker and later con-
frmed by the supreme court of the
territory. Colonel Smith who had
made every effort to protect the
property, took an appeal to the
supreme court of the United States,
where the case is now docketed.
Colonel Smith, at his own expense
employed Judge Fall, a noted mining
lawyer, to look after his interests,
and it is therefore possible that the
company may yet win out. The
mines have developed remarkably
we'll, and are now considered among
the best properties of the Santa Rita
district. 1t is a ''hard luck" story
in which Clifton people are inter
ested to an extent of something like
$4,000. Had they continued to put
up, and made the payments as they
fell due, they would now have been
on easy Street, but as the case
now stands the chances are that they
have lost their money, though there
are some fine points for the supreme
court to decide, and it may be that
they Will eventually come into
possession of we'll developed and
paying property. Should the de-
cision be against them they will have
the satisfaction of knowing that it
was their money that opened up the
mines and added another producer I o
the list of copper mines of the south
west.

two feet. The ore is very high
grade, running from an ounce to sew
eral hundred dollars to the ton, the
average of the ore being
about S16O. The shipment so far
made no doubt more than paid
development expenses, and when the
property is once opened up it will
doubtless prove a regular bonanza.
Although 1000 sacks of ore were ship
ped only few weeks ago, there is
now large lot of first, as well as
second class, ore on the dumps, which
can be shipped at any time the own
ers may see fit to do so. This prop
erty is truly a revelation to even the
old timers in the camp, many of
whom have been of the opinion that
gold mining was a thing of the past
in this district. 1t has demonstrated
the fact that gold in paying quanti-
ties exists here. and that good money
can be made in developing gold prop
critics. Mr.. Allen has gone about
the development of the prop
erty in such a quiet manner that
very few of the people even at
Morenci, which is only about a mile
and a half from the camp, have
known that a rich gold producer was
fast coming to the front in the dis
trict. Mcssrs. Allen & Hill have done
great work for this district. They
have demonstrated what the ERA has
always claimed, that the many gold
leads of the district are by far richer
that many of. the well advertised
camps of Nevada and Colorado,
where prospectors and investors are
focking in by the thousands. They
have opened a new field, which is al
ready being entered by others. In
almost all instances where system
attic work has been done on the gold
leads in the district good results have
followed, and the chances now are most
favorable for grand revival of gold
mining in the entire district.
