M z. Elliott has received a con tract from the Arizona Copper com pany for the laying of an S-inch pipe
 line from Clifton to the new concen trating plant now being erected al Morenci by the Arizona Copper com pany. The pipe line will be five and one-half miles long, and will take the place of the present line which now supplies the Longfellow concen trating plant, which was not of suffi. cient capacity to supply both plants It will be some months before the pipe line is completed, but it will be in operation by the time the new concentrating plant at Morenci is ready for business.

Little Miss Erma Springer came near meeting with a fatal accident by being struck by an engine Mon- day last. She was walking along be- side the track when the train cam e up from behind her. She thought that she was far enough away from the track, but in this she was mis- taken. The steam chest of the en- zine struck her head and knocked her some distance away from the track. Fortunately the engine was travelling very slow at the time, otherwise she would have been seriously, and perhaps dang gerously hurt. As it was she escaped with only slight injuries.

The Copper Era jolts the s'Maior'' and the Herald for a lack of expres- ] sion on the points of issue on the school question. Does the Era pro- pose to keep the pot boiling, or should it not land where the school interests
 are located? As leading republican organ of Graham county and the
 southwest why not assert your rights
 of free speech and call the board of
 supervisors and county school super
 intendent to a rightful adjudication
 ot any wrong. No you dare not, for
 the very simple reason that the Era
 must stand half way over the fence
 or get its wings clipped. Talk about
 dn dnlalgamat1on of unadulterated
 personal self magnitude and the Cop per Era, as a public instructor on po-
 litical economy for Clifton and Ora
 ham county, takes the whole bunch
 of doughnuts. The Herald man has
 not resided in Clifton as long as the
 lot of Eraits, yet has been long enough
 in the community to know a few
 of the necessary needs. The report
 CTS on the Era slide gracefully up and
 down Clifton's Undergraduates with
 bald-face shirt fronts and salute only king bees. The Herald man meets
 all alike.-Clifton Herald.
 The Major is as full of fun as cage of monkeys. He just bubbles over with fun and the fun of it is that he don't seem to realize that he is funny. Just can't help tits natural, and therefore it is of a bet ter grade than the artificial variety | However, he reminds the ERA of the | doctor who made speciality of cur ing, fits who was called one day to see | little girl who was suffering from | indigestion. After an examination | he told the anxious parents that he knew nothing about stomach trouble but if they would just throw her into fits he would cure her, as he was "sure hell on fits" So it is with the Major. He knows nothin about the school question. and he wants to. switch the subject onto politics, be- cause he is-well, long on politics. Funny, ain't it? The ERA has no quarrel with the supervisors. They have taken a stand on the question, which is endorsed by the ERA. The superintendent has been on both sides of the question. He is a weather cock and veers with every political breeze. If the ERA is on the fence, as stated above, it is at least in sight, and that is more than can be said of the Herald on this question, for it's editor has crawled under the fence and is now trying to hide in the po- litical shrubbery. Will the Herald kindly state whether it considers schools one of 'the necessary needs of the community" You need not really commit yourself, Major, just a confidential intimation of what you think about it. Never mind about the election. That is ancient history now, and no one expected you to mention it anyway.

Jud Webster returned last week from New Mexico, where he had been to buy cattle, with his right arm done up in a sling. The ERA re- ceived grapevine telegram stating that he was hurt by falling from a bucking bronco, but MT. Webster claims that his horse was knocked down by a wild steer, and in the fall his shoulder was badly bruised. His hurts are not of a serious nature.

It is gratifying to the ERA to know that it's position in school matters is endorsed by nearly all of the heaviest tax payers of the consolidated dis trict. There is no doubt that an election to vote bonds for school houses would carry, provided the law prohibiting foreigners from vot- ing be enforced, which it will be if another school election is ever held in this district.

R. J. Young arrived yesterday from his ranch in Bush valley. He reports very cold winter in that section, the thermometer ranging around 15 below zero for some time. He says the snow in the valley aver ages from two to three feet deep, and is packed solid There is really no telling how much snow there is back in the mountains, because no one has been able to get into them. He states that all old timers in that section say this is the coldest winter they have ever experienced and that the snow is also deeper.

F. B. Eldridge, president of the Sierra de Gro Gold Mining and Mill ing company, and w. H. Waite, secretary of the same company, ar rived last week to attend the annual meeting of the company and to in- speCt the developments during the past year, with which they were well pleased. The tunnel is now in 1900 feet, and will strike the main lead in 275 feet. However, a lead was cross ed at a depth of 300 feet from the surface which averages between 12 and 40 per cent. lead and $l0 gold per ton. This lead was drifted on for a distance of 135 feet, and estimating that the lead will last for a depth of fifty feet above the drift, and fifty feet below it, there will be more than S5O,O0O worth of ore in sight. The face of the drift is still in good ore, and MT. Potter is confi- dent that it will last for many hun dred feet, that it will go down and also that it can be stopped up to something near the surface. This lead alone promises to make a good mine, but larger and better one is expected when the main lead is struck. The future of the company seems very bright.

George H. Stevens, better known as "Little Steve" one of the old time characters of this county, who left here about twenty years ago, but was afterwards connected with the penitentiary at Yuma, was heard from a few years ago at Victoria. ''Little Steve" was the first sheriff of this county and was quite a char acter in his way, and still has many friends in Arizona. After leaving Arizona he went to Brazil, the Ar genuine, Chile and Peru, and from there to Victoria, where he was run ming a large saloon and gambling house.

Under the new contract three car loads of ore were shipped last week from the Standard mines to the De- troit Copper Mining company at Morenci. The ore came through Clifton and was transferred here and at Guthrie. The ERA learns from Superintendent Rosecrans that the winze being sunk from the mustard level is going down on a 26-inch streak of glance, and also that high grade ore has been struck in the lowest workings of the Copper Gen. ter. Owing to the high price of copper MT. Rosecrans recently ship ped car of low grade ore from the San Jose, and was grea tly surprised to find that it averaged ? ounces in silver and ' per cent. copper. It seems that the San Jose ore is stead fly increasing in silver values. Until the past few months the relative values between the two metals was an ounce of silver to one per cent. of copper, but the silver values are now more manifest, the high grade averaging 40 per cent. copper and 75 ounces silver. Even the second-class ore has greatly increased in silver, but the low grade, averaging from to 9 per cent. copper and p ounces silver, shows the most mar ed increase. MT. Rosecrans states that all the Standard properties are looking remarkably well, and he ex- ,o-o~5

These figures may not be exactly correct, but on the whole they are reasonably correct. Of the above the Phelps-Dodge interests produced more than forty-tve per cent. The Clifton-MorenCi output was greatly cut down last year on account of the many floods, which put the Coronado railroad out of commission for a month or six weeks during the year. The most remarkable increase in the territory during the year was made by the Old Dominion, of Globe, which shows what ample means and intelligent management will do for a property. However, it is expected that the output of the Old Dominion for the year 1906 will be nearly dou- ble what it was last year, as the plant is being steadily increased in capacity, and the company did not produce heavily until the latter part of last year. The United Verde will also increase it's output at least 1O,- 100000 pounds. The Copper Queen,

 There were four contestants in the

 Dan McGowan, IS 5-32 inches: Fred Yockey, 21 37-32 inches; Robert Lyons, IS 9-32 inches; O. M. King, 20 1-16 inches.
 In another column of this paper will be found a list of the dividend paying copper mines of the United States as prepared by Hayden, Stone & Co.,, of Boston. It is an interest ing article, but strange to say, four of the heaviest dividend payers in the world were omitted from the list, and they are all located in Ari- zona. They are the Copper Queen of Bisbee, the Arizona Copper com pany of Clifton, the Detroit Copper company of Morenci and the United Verde of Jerome. Three of them | are practically close corporations, and do not give information as to their earnings to the public. The other company is organized under aws of Scotland and makes annual | statements to its shareholders. It | would, perhaps, be d conservative es- 5imate, at the present price of cop per, to put the net earnings of these at some point between BIS, 100000 and S2O,OOO, ,OOO. This of tself would not make a bad showing for Arizona.

the Calumet and Arizona, the Ari- zona Copper company, the Detroit Copper company, the Shannon Cop per company, and in fact all of the old companies will materially increase their outputs during the present year, which, with the new companies now coming in will give the territory total increase of probably p per cent, which is a big jump for one year, and will put Arizona up close to Montana, which is still in the lead.

1t happened that Nine. Bernhard

Sam S. Shubert. who was killed in a

His brother, Lee Shubert, took up the
contract and William F. Conner be-
came associated with him and person
ally directed the tour. The question
arose as a first essential-where will
Nine. Bernhard play? That brought
on more talk. Could the houses con-
trolled by the syndicate be opened to
the great tragedienne?

ly. Nine. Bernhardt can play in any
house she elects, but"-in an aside to
the local manager-if you play Bern

When Bernhard started out in Chi
cago with her great week she had no
idea of what was before her. The
Grand Opera House was a beautiful
little theater-everythin was "just too

AS is the case with most able heavy

of the theatrical world such
an exhibition Of physical and
mental endurance that
given by Nine. Sarah Bernhardt. the
greatest OF all .tragediennes since the
days of Rachel. There was never such
n display of cheerful and continued OPP
timism in the face of Overwhelmingly
heavy odds as this woman of sixty
two gave in her farewell tour of the
United States and Canada. There was
never a theatrical tour of any char
ncter so filled with original and star
Ting incidents and which so upset all
traditions and theories and which has
established precedent and set the pace
Cor all time.
The press agent AYERS that Nine.
Dernhardt is the greatest of all the
worlds geniuses. He points with
pride to the fact that she is artist,
sculptress, actress, musician; that she
handles the brush and the whip with
equal ease. He tells you how she is
writing the story of her life in 800, 900
words to- be published in every Ian
guage in the world, from English to
the most polished Hottentot, and you
read and are expected to-and gem
orally do-worship.
But the simple truth of the business
Is that Bornhardt Is so much greater
and so much more interesting than the
description of her press agent makes
her that he falls short of his full duty
through physical inability to finish the
job. And in nothing is Bernhard as
much worthy Of attention, saving in
deed in her art itself. as in the mar
velous resistance she showed in her re-
cent tour to adverse circumstances
which against less determined optimism
would have ruined mortal or have
sunk n battleship.
In the beginning, there was a system
by which every man had right to do
as he pleased. Then some of the the
