Ambrozio Chavez, a Mexican work
ing in the Humboldt mine of the
Arizona Copper company, was caught
by falling rocks one day last week and
almost instantly killed. He was
working in a stope with two other
miners when some loose ground over
head was noticed and small rocks be-
gan to fall. His companions jumped
out of the way, but Chavez was
caught and almost buried with a
massive quantity of rock. The re-
mains were taken charge of by
friends at Morenci.

NJ. B. Rhea, prominent farmer of
Grant county, New Mexico, came to
Clifton this week with a wagon load
of the largest watermelons ever seen
on the Clifton market. Forty of
them tipped the scale at 1927 pounds,
whice is not SO bad. Mr.. Rhea in
formed the ERA reporter that the
cattlemen and farmers of his section
are on the eve of prosperity and at
the close of the present year will be
on easy street. An abundance of
rain has fallen in that section during
the past six weeks. He mentioned
statehood incidentally and said that
quite a number of the people of his
section wanted joint statehood for
personal reasons, although they in
tended to stay with their Arizona
friends, and most likely would vote
against it.

MINES AND MINING.
REDUCTION COMPANY MAKES
GOOD STRIKE.

REDUCTION COMPANY MAKES
GOOD STRIKE.
Perhaps one of the largest and best
strikes ever uncovered in this district
was made last week on the property
of the Gold Belt Development and
Reduction company, when a solid
body of manganese copper ore, aver
aging 80 to 35 per cent was opened
up on the Comstock No. 2 mining
claim, adjoining the gold claims of
the company. This prospect had
been passed up many years for oxide
of manganese and considered to be
worth nothing, but while prospecting
and assaying the management of the
company discovered that it was
solid mass of manganese copper, av-
eraging exceedingly high; and if the
proposition continues, the stockhold-
ers of the company will realize hand
some returns in the very near future.
The shaft is down but twelve feet
and during the past eight days about
$4,000 to $4,000 worth of high grade ore
has been taken out. The shaft is in
solid ore and continues its rich values
as depth is obtained, and promises to
be self-supporter from the start.
Arrangements are now being made to
commence shipping ore, but before
shipment starts there will have to be
some work done on wagon road, and
bins built for the construction of
which the company is offering 250OO
shares of stock at 25 cents per share.
par value $1.00. The company has
only recently finished the construc-
ton of a wagon road to the gold
claims, hence it will only be neces-
sary to construct a road from the
copper deposits to the main road,
which is but short distance. The
extent of the new strike. is not yet
known, but even as it now stands
there is bound to be a considerable
amount of money realized from it.
The gold claims, which are considered
the main feature of the company;s
claims. are looking we'll and continue
to improve as development advances.
Numerous parties have. recently Wis
tied the property and all of them are
of the opinion that the Gold Belt has
the finest prospect of any of the
small companies OF the district. The
management of the company is highly
pleased with the showing of the prop
erty since taking hold of it and con-
tend that if it turns out just half as
well as it looks those who have in
vested in stock will have every rea-
son to be thankful.

The Arizona Copper company is
putting in a settling tank at Long
fellow for the purpose of handling
the tailings from concentration No. g.,
at Longfellow. 1t is being built on
the Stag dump at Morenci and will be
300 feet in diameter and about fifteen
feet deep. The tailings.- will be run
into it and settled, after which the
water will be run off and the deposit
removed with an electric grab shovel,
handled by 75-horsepower in
duction motor. The dry tailings will
be loaded into cars and taken back to
the mines and used for filling. This
is an entirely new feature in mill
work, and if success, which it will
no doubt be, there will be no more
tailings allowed to run into the river
at Clifton, thereby doing away with
the many complaints from the farm
ers of the valley. This move has
been on foot many months and will be
in operation in a very short time.

Engine No. "a, pulling a heavy
freight on the A. & N. M, had a
narrow escape Tuesday of this week.
A couple of bents on a bridge in the
neighborhood of Guthrie had been
undermined and when the engine APP
preached at a medium rate of speed
the track was allowed to sink down.
The train was stopped with but little
damage. 1t is a miracle that the en-
CINE did not turn over.

A DEGRADING Crime.

The lowest and most degrading
crime ever committed in this section
took place last Friday afternoon
at Morenci when a Mexican named
Cruz Via, about twenty years old,
assaulted the person of the ten-year-
old son of Mr.. Zumwalt, boiler
make in the employ OF the D. C.
company.
The first known of the affair was
when the little fellow was seen
by his father going home. He could
hardly walk and Mr.. Zumwalt went
home at once to see what had hap
pened. When he got there he dis
covered what had taken place and
was so enraged that he Immediately
armed himself and made a search
for the criminal, whom he could not
find, or there would most likely have
been a sudden ending to the career
of this degrading fiend. Officers
were sent out in search of him and
he was captured late in the evening
at Lonfellow by Deputy Sheriff
Albert Mungia, who brought him
to Clifton. The arrest was kept
quiet for fear that law would not
take its course and on Saturday
afternoon he had his preliminary
hearing before Justice. Neff and was
bound over to await the action of
the grand jury. Via is worthless
Mexican who has been around Mo-
renci for some time and this occur
renee should put an end to his career.
which it no doubt will. He is held on
the charge of rape, and is now in the
Jail at Solomonville.
