The Clifton Orphans Case.

The decision in full of the supreme court of the United States in the Clifton orphans case has been re- ceived. It shows that the only ques- tion to be considered by that court was one of jurisdiction depending upon the question whether the writ of habeas corpus, granted by the supreme court ot this territory was one involving the question of per sonal freedom. That the Arizona supreme court had power to issue the writ had not been questioned by the appellant, the New York Founding hospital.
 The United States supreme court found that under Sec. 1909 of the Re vised Statutes if there was no ques- tion of personal freedom involved; it was without appellate jurisdiction. The existence Of such a question is discussed at some length and the con- clusion is reached that as things turned out the custody of the troversy between rival claimants which the courts of the territory had power to settle.
 The decision continues: "In the present case there was no attempt to l illegally wrest the custody of the child from its lawful guardian while temporarily in the territory of Ari- zona. The society voluntarily took the child there with the intention that it should remain. Through inn position the child was placed in the custody of those unfit to receive or maintain control over it and as above stated, came into the possession of the respondent. The child was with in the Jurisdiction of the court under such circumstances that rival claim ants of the right of custody might invoke the jurisdiction of d com potent court of the territory to de termine, not the right of personal freedom, but to which custodian a child of tender years should be com mitted. We do not think the case comes within the provisions of Sec. 1909 permitting an appeal to this court only in cases involving the question of personal freedom"

THE continued rise in the price of lumber, caused by the gigantic lumber trust, which is now iii control of all the lumber mills throughout the northwest, is now under investiga- tion by congress. It is alleged that the lumber trust has a capital in- vested of $500, 100000 in the various lumber industries of the country. There is said to be a separate organ ization of each branch of the busi- ness, but like the Standard Oil, they are all operated through one general head. The people are at last awakened to the fact that there is hardly room enough in this country for them and the trusts. One or the other must go, and it will not be the people. These trust magnates care nothing for paltry fines. The thing to do with them is to land them in the penitentiary for long period of years. This will have a wholesome effect upon others.

THE NEW CLIFTON.

Since the flood the town of Clifton has been a continuous scene of busi- ness activity from one end to the other.
 All property owners are either erecting new buildings or repairing the old ones. These Improvements are being made above highwater marks and will be safe from future floods.
 The marvellous rapidity with which the town has recovered from its re- cent calamity is testimonial to the indomnitable pluck and energy of it's inhabitants.
 The flood has already been for gotten, and in a few weeks more every sign of it will have been away cleared; and we will have a larger, better town than ever.
 Money is in evidence everywhere, and business is good.

A BIG ENTERPRISE FOR
 CLIFTON-MORENCI DISTRICT.
The Shannon Company to Build Rail-
 road to Their Mines.

M. l.. AmSter, the new president of the Shannon Copper company, who spent few days here last week, an nounced to the editor of the ERA, that as soon as he returned east he would at once take the initiatory steps toward the building of a high grade railroad from the Shannon plant, whicE is located several hun dred feet above the Frisco river, to the Shannon mines at Metcalf, a dis tance of about seven miles. MT. Amster has decided that the floods which have continuously washed out the Coronado railroad are q great detriment to the district, and in or der to overcome this difficulty it will be necessary to erect a new road, which will have gradual grade from the plant to the mine. It is also his present intention to make the road standard gauge, if possible, as it would be great saving in ex- pense and time in transferring freight for the mines and for that section of the district, and would also greatly facilitate the handling of ore coming down from the mines.
 MT. Amster is a man of keen busi- ness intelligence and unbounded energy, and now that he has fully grasped the situation, he will put his plans into execution at once.
 It IS not likely that the road will be built by the Shannon company, but the money for its construction will be put up by Mir. Amster and others largely interested in the Shannon company, who have shown their faith in the district by purchasing a con- trolling interest in this valuable property.
 The new railroad would not only relieve the Shannon company and all the Metcalf section from these frequent shut-downs, but it would also be a paying business investment from the start. The business of the Shannon company alone would guar antee the business success of the en- lterprise.
 The construction of this road would also materially assist in opening up many producing mines in that section of the camp, that by the con- struction of this road would be en- abled to land their ores at the Shan non plant without transfer or delay. It is also possible that the road may 1 be extended to some of the other mines of the Metcalf section beyond the Shannon mine.
 | HIS IOdQ WOulu dlSO pIONC dn lHI- mediate outlet for the mines of the | Detroit Copper company, which are now being extensively developed in that section, as a connection from this proposed road could be made with the Morenci Southern, thu. saving the necessity of carrying the ore to Guthrie, and transferring it to narrow gauge cars for Morenci.
 The construction of this road would prove a powerful factor in the immediate development of much new mineral country in the neighborhood of MetCalf.
 Several new companies will soon be operating in that section on an ex, tensive scale. The Stevens company have recently bonded their proper. ties to an English syndicate, who pro- pose to spend an unlimited sum in the development of the property.

Jack Stewart, who was shot some weeks ago at the Celtic mines near Metcalf by Scotty Cameron, has re- covered sufficiently to be discharged from the hospital, and is now in evidence around town. He was struck three times, and still carries two bullets in his person. One bullet grazed his neck, making only slight flesh wound; one penetrated the skull near the right ear, and remains within the head; the third pene- trated his back, and shattered the spinal column. The shots were fired at such close range that the bullets had not gained much velocity at the time they reached Jacks robust body, otherwise there can be no doubt that death would have been instantaneous. As it was Jack had a remarkably close call for his life. He is, or was, man of magnificent physique, with a constitution of an OK, which stood him in good hand during his illness. Jack does not ap- pear to be very "sore" towards Scotty There are "extennating circumstance" connected with the case which will materially aid Scotty in freeing himself from the meshes of the law. Jack has received a vel come from his many friends, who had despaired of seeing him again in this world
