PURELY PERSONAL


H. Herzberg, of Metcalf, visited
Clifton this week.
Mrs. Harris, of Deming, is visiting

assay office, left this morning for
Hachita on mining business.

spending a few days in Clifton as
the guest of Mrs. McAlister.
Mrs. H. Westlake and children left
last week for Ell Paso, where they
will spend a few weeks visiting.
Charles NJ. Slayton, of Elmwood,
Illinois, arrived last week on a visit
to his son, DR.. Slayton, and family.
Hon. Baylor Shannon left this
morning for Silver City to bring home
his wife and son, who are visiting
there.
Sheriff Jim Parks visited Clifton
this week. His broken arm is recoy-
ering slowly, but it will be some time
yet before it will of much service.
Mrs. c. P. Rosecrans spent a few
days during the past week as the
guest of Mrs. w. A. Leonard. She
expects to leave in the morning for
her home at San Jose, California.
John c. Patterson, of Cisco, Texas,
is here on a visit to his brother
E. r. Patterson, of the ella
Valley Bank, and is so we'll pleased
with the country that he may con-
clude to locate here.
F. ]. Elliott made a hurried bust
ness trip to the mining camps of
Fierro and Hanover in Grant county,
New Mexico, last week. He struck
very bad spell of weather, and had
rough trip through the mountains.
J. K. Ermstrom, travelling repre-
sentative of the Royal Insurance
company, spent a couple of days in
Clifton this week on business for his
company which is represented locally
by w. A. Leonard.
Louie Gales, one of the most in.
huential citizens of New Mexico, is
spending the week in Clifton and
Morenci in the interest of a life in.
surance company, of which he is the
state agent.
Misses Clarice Pugh, Eula Hull and
Halle Dupre, after spending three
days in Metcalf, returned Monday
afternoon by way of the Moreno
trail on account of the badly i'm
paired roads.
Duke Await, superintendent of the
Crawford Gold mines, came in from
the mines this week, and reports thai
another new body of ore was strucl
which is two feet wide and runs wei
in gold. 1t is an entirely different
class of ore than any heretofore found
in the mine, hence it is considered
of much Importance to the future de
velopment of the property.
Ambrose Burke arrived in towr
yesterday from his camp on Coro
nado mountain. He reports muct
rain and snow during the past week
which interfered with mining. He
now has a contract to sink shaft or
one of the Bonanza claims, upon
which he recently made strike OF
much Importance.

Wong FoNG, formerly secretary
of the six Chinese companies in San
Francisco, recently gave out an in
terview in Chicago, in which he ad-
vised Americans to at once cable
their friends in China to get out of
that country at once, as he appre-
hends there will soon be a ire
mendous slaughter of all foreigners
in China. He advises them to get
out of the country by the oath in
slant. Our government has appre-
hended this, and has been preparing
for it by shipping troops to the
Philippines and China for some time
past. The Boxer uprising is now
said to be beyond all possibility OF
control

THE smuggling of Cinnamon from
Mexico into California in car load
lots seems to be one of the late indus
tries of the Southwest. John is sell
dom caught in the act, but from late
dispatches four of them were found
frozen to death in a boxcar at Mer-
ced, California, which had previously
arrived from the Mexican border.
Three others that made the trip in
the car managed to avoid the Off
GERS. 1t seems to be an easy matter
to handle them by wholesale.
The copper era., 1906-02-15

THERE seems to be a growing
sentiment with the government Off
Gals in control of the public domain
that it will be but a short time until
the government will take charge of
all public lands and charge fee for
the grazing of stock thereon, and
also regulate the number of head of
cattle that will be allowed on any
range. Stockmen, as a class, have
always been opposed to this method
of disposing of the public domain,
but the ERA is inclined to the
opinion that they will be protected
under this system to the full amount
of the tax for the lease of the land.
The government rangers will see that
their rights are not interfered with
by other stockmen, and therefore
there will be no overcrowding of the
range, and consequent loss from a
shortage of feed. This of itself
would be of great advantage to the
cattlemen, but of course it would
come pretty hard to give up good
money for something that had pre-
viously been free.

MYRoN H. MoCoRD, who is strongly
in favor of amalgamating with New
Mexico, has been appointed collector
of customs at the port of Nogales.
This is considered a pointer as to
future appointments. 1t is probably
not worth while for man to apply
for a Federal appointment who is
strongly opposed to jointure. How
ever, the president is apt to have
much trouble in finding enough men
in Arizona who favor jointure to fill
the offices. Still, some men would do
most anything for good fat office.

THERE seems to be trouble of some
kind brewing in Washington for Coy
ernor Kibbey, whom it has been
stated would be succeeded by Myron
H. McCord, recently appointed col
lector of customs at Nogales. 1t
has also been rumored that the gov
crnor would resign, which, however,
he most strenuously denies. 1t is
possible that the governors we'll
known position on statehood is at the
bottom of his troubles. Mr.. Kibbey
is making an excellent chief execu-
tive. True, he got mixed up little
in tax matters, but he is honest and
fearless. He never has. and never
will be, charged with any sort of
grating or crooked business.

EDITOR BUCK, of the Naco Budget,
has brought suit against Frank
Abraham, proprietor of a hotel, in
the sum of $4,000 for libel and de-
famation of character. 1t is some
thing unusual for an editor to bring
suit for libel. AS a general thing
such suits are brought against the
editors. The case will be watched
with keen interest by all newspaper
men

GROSS incompetency is charged
against the officers of the Valencia
which was wrecked on the Alaskan
coast Two weeks ago, when all on
board, except thirty-three people,
were drowned. The sentence of ten
years. Imprisonment for the master

petition of such disasters.

SENATOR FORAKER has introduced
his amendment to the jointure bill
which provides that the vote on the
constitution be taken separately by
the territories. Hon. Mark Smith is
confident that the amendment will
carry, provided the bill is not de-
feated, of which there now seems
strong probability.

THIRTY ODD midshipmen were re-
Gently dismissed from Annapolis for
hazing. This is most unfortunate,
as their services are greatly needed
in the navy. 1t might also be good
idea to dismiss all of the officers at
Annapolis who have tacitly permit
ted hazing in all of its forms for
wears mast.

A BILL has been introduced in con-

General Manager E. U. Beauchamp
of the Gold Belt Development and
Reduction company, was in camp the
first of the week. Mr.. Beauchamp
has had an assay made of the ore
found on the property of the COM
pany of which he is manager, and
the results are highly satisfactory.
The assay gives value of about 1853
to the ton, of which S62 is gold, the
remaining values being silver. These
samples were taken from the open
cuts on the property, and are fair
average sample of the values to be
found in the workings. The stock of
the company is being subscribed for
in liberal quantities by the local peo-
pie of Clifton and Morenci, the plan
of placing the greatest number of
shares in the hands of the investors,
and thereby giving them control of
the management, meeting with the
approval of those who are willing to
put their money into a propositson
where they shall have a say in the
agement.-Morenci Leader.

Victory Waits.

There's victory yonder awaiting the
chap
Who greets with laugh every downing
mishap
Who loses the game with a CLINT in his
eye,
Who fights as he loses and dies full of
try.
Who tackles the ladder with vim and
with bounce,
And laughs when he lands at the foot
with iounce;
Who .ightens his belt and with never
sigh
Keeps failing and failing with heart full
of try.
He isn't defeated who dies in the fight,
If he had but lived he'd have finished
all right,
1t was fate stilled his life and endeavor
put by,
While his jaw was firm set and his heart
full of try.
And know that up yonder when be has
cashed in
The loser will head many fellows who
win;
For we're judged when we win to our
homes in the sky,
Not by our success, but by the strength
Of our try.
