The New England and Clifton Cop
per company are preparing to erect
two hosting plants on their proper
ties near Metcalf. One of the en-
gines is now on the ground, and will
soon be in operation, while the other
will be ready for business in a few
weeks. One engine will be set up on
the Antietam and the other on the
Buckeye, each of which have suff-
cient development work to show good
ore in large bodies. The company
has planned for extensive develop
ment work on each of these claims.
The company is shipping between
forty and fifty tons of ore a day to
the Shannon smelter that averages
better than 10 per cent. copper, and
several ounces in silver to the ton.
The New England is rapidly coming
to the front as a producer.

Through an oversight on the part
of the clerk of the board in the rush
of getting out the election work the
socialist candidates for precinct Off
GERS were omitted from the ballot.
the socialist party managers brought
the matter into the district court and
got an order mandamusing the clerk
to print the names on the ballots.
This has caused a great deal of de-

faroff precincts not receiving their

Up to the present time the Clifton
Herald, which usually greets the
public on Mondays, has failed to
materialize. 1t happened thusly:
When the Major commenced to
makeup" the editorial page of the
paper he found that some of his
shot stuff had melted the type into
an unintelligible mass. This required
the resetting of the type, which was
then placed on ice. When every
thing was in readiness, the "devil,'
who is always making trouble around
"print shop" ''pied" a ''galley."
This so excited the Major that he let
his anger get the better of his judg-
ment, and he rushed at the "devil"
with the ''mallet," and in making his
getaway the ''devil," accidentally of
course, stuck his foot through
the local "form,' which had
been "made up" and knocked it into
the middle of next week. This of
course was most discouraging to the
Major for had the paper made it's
usual appearance there is no reason
able doubt, in the mind of the Major,
that the result in the county would
have been changed. The Major was
at first inclined to the opinion that
the "devil" had been induced by his
political enemies to make life I'M
pleasant for him, but after much
thought and prayerful consideration,
he arrived at the conclusion that it
was simply an "off year" with the
democrats, so he will let it go at
that. The devil" has not since
been seen, and it is certainly to be
hoped that he will remain in the
hills until after things have cooled
off somewhat around the ''shop."
The ERA presents its distinguished
consideration to the Major, and as
sures him that were it not for the
fact that it has "trouble of its own
it would loan him a helping hand in
his hour of dire distress.

Putting aside all plans for large

married at quiet home ceremony on
Monday, November 3. Both Miss
Hathaway and Mr.. Short are natives

was being planned, when suddenly
Mr. Short was ordered, through the
Blinn Lumber Company, to Clifton,
Ariz., to take charge of the compa-
ny's books. Then the lovers put
their heads together and decided
that they just could not wait until
he came back, so it was concluded
to be married at once.

Geo. L. Walker, Boston's authority
on copper matters generally, has
the following to say of the Shannon:
N. L. Amster, W. a. Paine and
associates now control the Shannon
company absolutely through their
large ownership in the stock. They
will dominate the coming annual
meeting of stockholders, but it is
believed that they will retain the
present management. The higher
price of copper and better supply
of iron sulphide ores are giving the
company much larger earnings.
Increased smelter capacity, now
being provided, will still further
enhance the company's earnings next
year.

STATEHOOD GONE GLIMMERING.
Carries in New Mexico by Small Majority
Badly Defeated in Arizona.

The returns in New Mexico are very
slow in coming in, but from present
indications the joint statehood issue
will carry by majority of from 5000
to 5000, which is much less than was
generally claimed by the press and
the people favorable to the issue. 1t
is also possible that when the full re-
turns are received even this ma
jority will be materially shaved down.
The returns from all oyer Arizona
are also very slow in coming in, but
it is safe to say that at least eighty
per cent of all votes cast were against
statehood.
1t is a most remarkable fact, how
ever, that while anti-statehood was
the only issue in the campaign. prob
ably one-ffth of the voters failed to
express themselves on the question,
which is greatly to be regretted. 1t
is the universal opinion that those
who intended to vote for statehood
did so, while many of those who in
tended to vote against it, in the ex-
citement of the moment, forgot all
about it. The fact that. the ballot
was on the tail of the ticket and set
in small type, is partially responsible
for this. Had the question been sub
mitted on the head of the ticket, a
much better expression of the wishes
of the people would have been re-
ceived.
However, it has been defeated by a
majority of the votes of the two
territories, which is certainly suffi-
cient to satisfy the administration
that the people want none of it.

which attracted an enormous congre-

Cathedral this afternoon after the con-
clusion of the meeting of both bishops
and archbishops to discuss means of
complying with the law for the separa-
tion of church and state without in
friEging on the constitution of the
church. The entire church episcopate
was present. this being the first oc-
casion on which they had gathered to-
gether in a metropolitan church since
1902. when the concordat was signed.
Archbishop Roverde de Cabrieres. in

historic event. saying that the recent
reunion was brought about by the rup-
ture of that solemn contract. No men
tion was made of the prelates de-
cisions.

displayed a very conciliatory spirit. He
said he was prepared to receive a

carry out the law.
