1t will perhaps be news to the
many friends of w. J. Riley, who is
connected with the First National
Bank, to learn that he has become
,Eagle-eyed. He recently made a
trip to the Coronado country in
search of game and it is said he met
with a rather peculiar experience.
Shortly after. focusing around the
PERCEPTIONS mountains of that sec
tion he located what appeared to be
large Mexican Eagle. After crawl
ing about three hundred yards on his
hands and knees over sharp rocks and
thorny brush, he settled down and
commenced shooting. He continued
to shoot for about half an hour, when
his ammunition got low and he began
to get nervous, advancing one step
each time he shot, until finally the
barrel of his gun ran amuCk with Il
big Mesquite stump, which was rid
died with lead. Mr.. Riley is a mem
Der of the new gun club and will fur
nish a box of clear Havanas to the
members at the shoot next Sunday
if they promise to ask no questions.

Clifton |, MOrenci 0.

The base ball game last Sunday be
tween Clifton and Morenci, which re
suited in a victory for Clifton by (
score of one to nothing, was one Of
the best games ever pulled off in the
southwest and one which would be {
credit to even the national league
teams 1t is seldom the case that
fans have the opportunity of witness
ing such a perfect and well played
ball game in small town. Hits
were few and far between and runs
were as scarce as hens teeth. Phe.
nominal plays were numerous on both
sides and the in and Outfelds proved
breastwork of solid rock, just seven
safe hits being made throughout the
entire game. The scarcity of hits
and runs was due mostly to the skill
of the pitchers. Ashley for Morenci
had everything, and when d pitcher
succeeds in holding the Clifton slug
gers to five singles, he should feel
satisfied that he has pitched cred
liable game.
In speaking of hitters, the Morenci
aggregation is we'll known for its
skill, but the twirling OF Marquee,
Clifton's wonder, was too much for
them. All that the hill city boys
could get was two scary looking hits
and a genuine setting of nine healthy
goose eggs, which added greatly to
the cheerfulness of many of the Cliff
ton sports who captured quite covy
of MorenCi's green backs.
Revenge was certain for Clifton
from the very start, and the record
of the previous games to in favor
of Morenci-only inspired the locals
with that invincible spirit of deter
mination. This has long been the his
tory of the Clifton team, and one
good clubbing only insures victory
the next time.
The game was started promptly on
time and the innings we're dispatch
ed in one, two, three order on both
sides until the last half of the fourth,
when Clifton bottled the game by
making one score. Dunn was the
first man up and went out to first.
Quigley followed with an infield hit,
which was fumbled, and reached first
in safety. Riley followed with a line
drive safe to right and Quigley was
caught at third, while Riley advanced
to second. This made two out, and
then Quilting came with safe drive
to deep right and Riley rubbered the
home cushion in safety, giving Cliff
ton an earned run. Williams finished
the inning by going out to first. The
remainder of the game went in quick
order and Morenci did not have
ghost of a show to score until the last
half of the ninth, when Quigley over
threw first, allowing Bosquet to ad-
vance to third with two out. Here
is where Marquee steamed up and
after the smoke cleared away Crit
tenden had swung three times at the
and the game was over.
The following is the tabulated
score.

The ERA hoped that the sporting
editor of the Leader would confine
himself to facts this season in his
base ball articles, but instead he
collared the best player on the Cliff
ton team. He said that the much
footed Riley famed the air four
times out of five up. This is mis-
take, as he only chopped once. And
in the last game Riley secured four
teen put-outs without an error, two
hits and the only run. Wonder what
the Leader Will say this time. How
ever, he is excusable for the first of
Tense because he didn't=have time to
observe the fine points of the game.

During the floods of November last
the county road leading into Clifton
from the south and east was washed
out near Ward canyon, and has not
since been repaired. This is one of
the main roads of the county and is
the only road leading to or from Cliff
ton from the south. There is much
travel over the road by farmers and
others who are compelled to pull
their teams up onto the railroad
grade and then follow it into town.
1t is a dangerous piece of road, and it
is 4 wonder that some of the teams
have not been struck by an engine.
This end of the county contributes
many thousands of dollars annually
to the road fund, and is certainly en-
titled to better treatment than it is
receiving. 1t is no wonder that the
people of the east end are again
seriously considering the proposition
of county division.

On Saturday afternoon last a num-
Der of the heaviest stockholders of
the Standard Consolidated Mining
company met at the ERA office in con-
sultation with joni K. Erskine, the
new president of the company. The
affairs of. the company were gone
into in detail from the organization
of the company up to the present
time. The meeting lasted several
hours and closed with complete har-
mony between the local shareholders
and the present management of the
company. For the past two years or
more there has been 4 considerable
amount of friction between local
shareholders and the management of
the company, which, however, was di-
rected principally against the former
president of the company, G.. A. Ross,
whose interests were purchased by
Mr.. Erskine some months ago. All
interested parties will be pleased to
know that harmony has been restored
between local shareholders and the
eastern management, as it is sure
to have a splendid effect upon the
shares Mr.. Erskine stated that on the
first of May the books showed cash
balance on hand of more than $40, 1000,
that all properties were paid for and
patented, and that the force on devel-
opment work would be materially in
creased in the immediate future. 1t
was the sense of those present that
the company assume charge of the
boarding house, which has since been
done. A committee was also appoint
ed from among local shareholders to
visit the mines occasionally and re-
port such recommendations as it
might see fit to the management.
The meeting was very different from
the one held about a year ago at
which the then president, Mr.. Ross,
was assaulted by the disguised share
holders.

Mrs. C. p. Rosecrans, formerly of
Clifton, but now residing at San
Jose, had quite a thrilling expert
ence during the earthquake. She
was awakened by the bed gliding
across the room, but did not realize
the cause of the trouble until she
had been dumped bodaciously into
the middle of the room. The quake
tore the steps loose from the building,
and her mother, Mrs. Fessler, also
well known in Clifton, had the mis-
fortune to fall from them, breaking
one of her legs. With the exception
of this the family escaped without
serious injury, though the house was
pretty badly wrecked.

Arthur Murphy Jr., manager of the
Ash Peak mining company, spent
few days in Clifton this week closing
arrangements with the Shannon COM
pany for treating the ores of the COM
pany. Ore bins will at once be erected
on the A. & N. N. r. r. and the wa
gon road from the mine put in first
class condition. Mr.. Murphy expects
to commence shipping ore in about
three weeks. The company now
has more than 100000 tons of ore on
its dumps and ready for shipment,
and besides that it can knock down
in the mine, almost any amount des-
ired. The rich ore recently uncov-
cred in the mine, which was reported
in the ERA some weeks ago is being
developed as rapidly as possible, and
is holding its own as to size and quail
ty. A rich strike was also recently
made in the Fraction claim which is
looking remarkably well. The ship
ping of ore from Ash Peak means a
new factor in the mineral output of
Graham county.

DAY FOR FLORIDA BABIES.

Laughing, dimpled babies from all
over the peninsualr state will look
sweet for prizes at the Jacksonville
carnival. Since it has been announc-
ed that baby show will be given
Friday morning, November 8, in the
big hippodrome, mamas and papas
are making many preparations.
The woman's guild of the church
of the Good Shepherd, assisted by all
other guilds throughout the state,
will have charge of the baby show.
Other guilds have written to the To-
cal society of the pretty babies in
their respective cities and telling of
the feeling of proud parents on the
subject. These letters betoken a big
day for the babies.
The money derived from the baby
show will go to THE local guild. The
women of this society have entire
charge of the arrangements, The
Carnival Association has donated the
grounds and the use of the band for
the occasion and will offer one of
the prizes.

sJeeial to the ocala Banner:

Special to the Ocala Banner:
New York, Sept 1S.--The signal
corps will lay this year large
amount of cable the purchase OF
which has already been undertaken
by tra war department. The most
important project of this character is
the installation of two hundred miles
in the extension of the system in
Alaska. upon which the transport
>9urnsides will be employed. The
contract for this cable which has been
awarded to firm in this city calls
for the delivery of the material on or
about October /, and it is expected
that the Burnsides will be able to
finish the work this year, as the loca-
ton of the line is not so far north
that the winter will interfere. An
other cable laying project is the line
between Fort Dade and Fort DeSoto,
I'm Florida, ten miles in extent. 1t is
possible that the signal corps cable
ship Cyrus w. Field, now engaged In
cable laying in New York Bay, will
be sent south on this work, but as
the depths are not great it will be
found preferable to use lighters. The
third project is the laying of cable
between Alcatrez Island and Ange
Island, in San Francisco Bay. to re
jlace the cable injured by the earth
quake.
