In this issue of the ERA will be
found the card of James Dunseath,
attorney at law, with headquarters at
Tucson. Mr.. Dunseath is we'll known
to the people of this section, having
resided at Morenci nearly three years
during which time he was connected
with the management of the Morenci
Leader. He left Morenci to accept
an appointment as deputy district
clerk at Tucson several months ago
which position he has recently re-
signed to engage in the practice of
law. He will be connected with the
law office of Hon. Frank H. Hereford,
one of the best known lawyers in the
territory. Mr.. Dunseath is member
of the Michigan, Ohio and Arizona
bars and will practice in all the courts
of the territory and accept business
from any section of Arizona. He will
also practice in the supreme court of
the United States. His many friends
in the Clifton orenci district wish
him much success.
Wiley E. Jones, who recently visit
ed Clifton in the interests of the peo-
pie OF Stafford in securing a ferry
across the ella river at Stafford, con-
ferred with the officers of the A C.
company, and succeeded in getting
$50 feet of wire cable donated for the
enterprise. The treacherous condi-
tion of the river has made it impos-
sible to maintain bridge, hence it
was necessary to put in a ferry. 1t
is proposed to make the ferry public,
but after it is in commission d small
charge will be necessary to make it
self-sustaining. A sCow, large enough
to carry z loaded wagon and team
will be built and fastened to the
cable, which will be stretched across
the stream, and each end of the scow
arranged so that it can be released
far enough down stream that the cur
rent will force the boat to the other
side with the assistance of one man.
1t can also be operated by hand with
the use of a club with a groove in
one end large enough to fit the cable.
BY this method one man could pull
the boat across, provided the current
is not too strong, while preparation
was being made for the other.
H. Moder, the transfer man, has

good shape and prepare to handle his

The Clifton band will give band
concert next Sunday evening at the
band stand on East side for the bene-
fit of the public. The concerts haye
become quite feature of late and
have always been highly appreciated.
Commencing on next Sunday the
band boys will give regular concerts
every other Sunday evening, to which
the public is invited
