THE statement has persistently been made by experts that the ore bodies in the Clifton district would not go down. Of course they did not know this to be fact, but they made others believe it, and the effect was detrimental to the camp. The same thing was said of the Butte district, but the companies there paid no at tention to it, but kept on going down. Recently the Anaconda struck its fourth ore zone at a depth of 2200 feet, where it has body of ore fifty feet wide and averaging fifteen per cent. This not only assures great future for the Anaconda, but also for everything else in the dis trict, as the Anaconda has no mo- nopoly of deep ore bodies. And if it's ore goes down 2200 feet, then why not 5000? It goes down in Michigan and in other countries and why not at Butte and in Clifton. And by the way, did you ever hear of copper mine playing out? Of course not. Sometimes they don't pay, but that is often due to the management, or lack of means to carry on the work economically, but play out, never Why, the mines of Spain that were producing copper at the dawn of the Christian era are among the largest producers in the world today. There were experts then, as now, no doubt, who said the mines would not last, but their names have been forgotten. They were but human beings and could not look into the bowels of the earth, where nature hides her treas ures from mankind. Clifton is the oldest copper camp in Arizona, and yet her deepest workings are not more than 1000 feet. It has not been necessary to go down here, as the ore was placed on top of the ground. Of course it will go down. All of the old time mines that were working in the early days of the camp are heavy producers today, notwithstand- the fact that they have been turned down by many eminent men. What our miners ought to do, however, to establish the permanency of the dis taict, is to get down into the earth. Nothing like showing them"

THE Phoenix newspapers state that the reason the board of equali- ration did not put fair valuation on the railroads is because the valua- tion of the Santa Fe had been fixed by congress and it would not be fair to other roads to assess them more than the Santa Fe. Why not have our delegate in congress pass bill assessing the Santa Fe at fair val nation? These same newspapers tell us that it is necessary to assess the non-producing minies of Graham county ten times as much as in Mari copa county, for the reason that the big companies are not paying enough. Now where is the consistency. They seem dreadfully afraid of hurting the feelings of some of the railroad officials but they don't care a rap about the managers of the non-pro- ducing mines. If the courts sustain this assessment there are several companies in this county that have never shipped a pound of ore that will be assessed between $50OO and $6000 year, which practically amounts to coniscation of the prop ertY.

The Major a humOrist.

The Herald was the first to come out on the school question, taking the stand from an educational point of view, and cast not stone at anyone, and now comes the ERA, after seeing that the Herald had struck the key note of popular approval, with long drawn out article stating just how the whole muddle can be straight ened out, and makes a grandstand play by punching a few inuendos at some foreign born citizens, and bonds be issued and the fine school building in North Clifton be pur- chased from the poor(?) company. Wouldn't that straighten Cyclone Bills off shank? There have been number of inquiries as to what has become of the plot of school ground where the Lone Star restaurant now stands.-Herald.
 Ye gods snd little fishes, don't that jar you? Why, Major, the ERA was fighting for more and better schools long before the Herald made its ap- pearance, and by the eternal horn spoon it will keep up the fight until the Clifton schools can be pointed to with pride, instead of being a re- proach and a disgrace to the terri rory. When it comes to pure un- adulterated gall the Herald certainly takes the whole bake shop. Its pain ful silence on the school question has been the cause of much speculation in the community for some time past. The recent school election which has passed into history as record break CT was held the week before the Major took charge of the Herald, but he has studiously avoided any men, tion of that election. Surely the editor of the Herald knew of this election. It was the talk of the town. It has been commented upon many times in the ERA, and in other papers in the county, and yet the Herald claims to be "The Peoples Paper'-in box car letters, please.
 However, the ERA is pleased to note that the Herald has awakened to the demands of the hour, and even in vague and non-committal manner has at last joined the procession for more and better schools.

CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL
 TAKES SECOND HONORS
Two Other Prizes Taken by Clifton
 School.

The Clifton schools sent an exhibit of their work to the territorial fair held last week in Phoenix, and it is gratifying to know that, netwith- standing the many disadvantages un- der which they have labored recently, they took three second premiums One for high school work, one for general exhibit ot the Clifton schooI and one for the best original oraW- ing. The latter was study made in the regular every day work, by Henry Barnett, a fifth grade boy. The dra winp work was not entered with any idea of competing for a pre- mium, but Miss Bostick, the drawing teacher, was asked by the judges to name some individual pieces from the grammer grades to be considered in the contest. Studies by Jennie Maguder, Clyde Prettyman, Emiliano Apodaca, Ruth Marston, Lena Miller and Henry Barnett were named, and after careful consideration of work, age and grade of pupil, the award was made as above.
 The Clifton high school is especial ly deserving of praise for securing the second prize, for the reason that this is only it's second year, and that the building was so badly damaged by the flood last January that it was unsafe, and since that time the school has been conducted in a shed or tent, and without any of the equipment which goes so far towards securing good results.
 At the present time the high school is being taught in a shed, which is chiefly noted for it's magnifi- cent ventilation.
 Professor Halverson, who. is in charge of the high school is certainly deserving of the greatest praise for the results he has obtained. The securing of the second prize at the fair is a high endorsement of the professors ability. He is the right man in the right place, and should be retained in hos present position just as long as he cares to teach school in Arizona. What he might be able to accomplish under favorable circum- stances can best be judged by what he has done under the most discour- aging conditions.
 Professor Halverson mapped out the following course of study for the Clifton high school which was adopted by the territorial board of education at their meeting in Phoe- nix last week for the entire territory.

SINCE the territorial board of equalization raised the value of min ing claims in this county from 5000 to s5OOO not single application for a patent has been made. Last year there was an increase of more than one hundred patented mining claims on the assessment rolls, an increase to the permanent taxable wealth of the territory ot more than S100,000, even at the old valuation. Under the new appraised value of mines in this county the tax will amount to SS50 per claim. The assessment work can be done for S1O0.

Quick Copper Making.

Frank B. Sharpe, superintendent of the Kelvin Reduction company, is in the city, accompanied by Mrs. Sharpe. They are attending the ter ritorial fair and MT. Sharpe is at the same time looking after matters in connection with the affairs of the company. He said that since the opening of the Phoenix & Eastern road there has been a steady growth of activity in mining in that part of the country.
 He was asked about the operations of his company. He said that it's new teaching plant had been put in operation lately and that the results had gone beyond his expectation. He said that just before starting to Phoenix a run of copper had been made so quickly that he did not like to give the time, for it would not be believed. by one who had not timed it. But he finally said that in twen- pulp was put into solution the pure copper appeared.
 The company is using the MacIn- tosh process, which accomplishes in minutes what the older processes ac- complish in hours. The process is partly a secret, a single ingredient being added to the sulphuric acid. It is probable, though, that MT. Mac Intosh will shortly disclose the secret when all his plans, which are now nearing completion, have been per fected.
 The plant of the Kelvin Reduction company has a capacity of thirty five tons daily, but it can be easily increased by the addition of other rolls. Only two are employed now. Only carbonate ores are now treated by the process, but the sulphides can be treated after a thorough roasting. The company will soon put in big roasting plant.-Phoenix Republican.

E. F. Larsen, for several years one of the smelter foremen at the A. c. works, was found dead in bed at the Fort Thomas Hot Springs Saturday morning last. He had been troubled with muscular rheumatism for some time and went to the springs hoping to be benefited by the waters. It is thought that the rheumatism reached the heart and caused his death. He leaves a son who is on a ranch at Dos Cabezas, and a daughter who is at tending the normal at Tempe. He was a mem per of the Woodmen and Workmen orders, and carried S2000 insurance if eeach-S4ich is left to the children. Decease6\ was an ex- emplary citizen, and had t6e respect of all who knew him,
