Miss Ola Chenowth, a charming
young lady of Deming, N. NJ, and
Ropert J. Martyr, an employe of the
Standard Copper mines, were united
in marriage at Deming last week.
The marriage is the elimination of
romance which took place when the
bride was teaching school at Metcalf,
hence the wedding is not a complete
surprise to Mr.. Martyrs most init
mate friends. The bride will remain
at Deming until Mr.. Martyr can pro-
vide home at the mines. The ERA
extends congratulations and wishes
the happy couple successful journey
through life.

Superintendent White, of the
Black Warrior mining company at
Globe, spent last Sunday in camp
looking over this camp. 1t was his
first visit to this district and natur-
ally he was very much surprised to
see it so far advanced. The
weather was bad, hence he had no
opportunity to see anything but the
A. C. and Shannon smelling plants,
which he considers two of the largest
and best equipped in the territory.
In speaking of the Globe district, he
said that new producers were coming
in continually and that many new
organizations were being launched
into the district with good mines to
back them up. The Black Warrior
is one of the best properties in the
Globe district and has been producing
good results for some time past.
Mr. White went to Ell Paso Monday
morning, where he will spend a few
days on business, and then return to
Globe.
