A. c. IMPROVEMENTS.
Preparing to Take Care of the COncen-
traitor TaiIineS.

The Arizona Copper company is
from its concentrators in the future
in order to prevent the anticipated
trouble with the farmers along the
ella river who have in years past
complained about the tailings dam
aging crops and rendering the farm
ing lands worthless. Tailings in the
river will be a thing of the past when
the present plans are consumated, as
damming system by which the water
when released into the river will be
as clear as when it was first received.
This will require heavy expenditure
of money and also consume some time
but the work is now under way and
the contracts have all been let.
Bill Spaw and Sam Foster have the
contract for building a dam across
the MOrenCi canyon, which will ham
die all tailings from concentration No.
6, the largest plant of the A. G. Com
pany. The dam will be loca ted about
two miles from the concentration and
will be constructed of rock, which
will be evenly laid and the cracks
plastered with mud. 1t will be thirty
feet high and 100 feet wide when
completed, which will be sufficient to
store tailings for a long time. In the
center of the dam will be largo box
built of heavy lumber which will be
sunk a little below the dam in order
to allow the water to enter and pass
through the bottom and it is said that
after it leaves the dam it is as clear
oc Al NIL ha
pounded for a distance of about 600
yards above the dam, the heavy sedi-
ment going to the bottom and the
water rising to the top and by the
time the water reaches the box in
the center it will have had time to
settle, and by the time it passes
through the dam it will be clear. The
dam will be built little low on one
side in order to take care of flood
waters from rains, The water from
the dam will flow into the Frisco river
about six miles below Clifton. 1t is a
very difficult piece of work and will
require some time to finish it, but it
is said that it works like a charm.
Another big dam is being built
across the canyon at concentration
No. 5. This is also the property of
the A. G. company and will cost
something ike 0IOO,OOO. IL Will DC
constructed of solid masonry and will
be strong enough to hold all the tail
vings that might be emptied into it.
1t will not be of the 1imsy nature as
the D. G. dam which caused so much
damage in the December flood.
The completion of, this piece of
work means that the concentrates
which have been emptied into Chase
creek will be greatly reduced and the
creek will not be permitted to fill up
with concentrates above Clifton,
which usually come down during the
floods.

ACCORDING to the Advocate the
foremen, or "straw bosses" as they
are called, are pretty tough layout
in this district. Considerable space
has been devoted to them which has
been misleading. They are all good
men, many of them having worked
their way up from the bottom, and
command the respect of those with
whom they come in contact every
day. There is not single instance
where the men are dissatisfied with
their bosses. A little inquiry around
the works will convince anybody that
the foremen around the works in this
district are better than can be found
in any country.

THIS is the season of the year when
every city in existence should receive
general cleaning up. There is great
need of Clifton receiving general
cleansing as in many places there is
much garbage which has accumulated
during past years and if it was not for
the fact that this is the healthiest
country on earth, there would be a
great demand for undertakers. AS it
is Clifton barely supports one under
taker. The fact that the camp has
escaped epidemics in the past is no
reason why it will not come in the fu-
ture. Let all good citizens clean up
their premises and charge the ex-
pense to the doctor bill.

THE petition which was being Cir
culated around the works last week
was last seen in the concentration and
must have gone through the yanners
as nothing has been heard of it since.
1t did not meet the approval of many
of the employees who considered that
they we're we'll enough off, hence they
refused to sign it.

The Risdon studio on the East side
is nearing completion. 1t is modern
photograph establishment and will be
the headquarters of the three con-
Germs owned by Mr.. RisdOn, the others
being located at Morenci and Metcalf.
The building is 3Sx3S and has seven
rooms besides the the halls and change
rooms. Each room has a high, well
ventilated ceiling and nicely furnish
ed throughout. The operating room
21x32, is probably the largest in the
territory and is equipped with a
specially designed 12x16 skylight.
Nothing has been overlooked in the
designing of the building. Besides,
the operating, dressing and reception
rooms, it has separate departments
for kodak finishing, printing and
bromid work. L: n. Dilliner, who
has charge of the construction work,
says that he will complete the build
ing by the 18th of this month. The
building is located below the wagon
bridge on the bank of the river and
is an ideal location for the business,
there being plenty of light.

The delivery wagon of the a. c..
Chase Creek store got mixed up in
runaway last Friday, which came near
being serious to the driver, Pat Bar
nett. The wagon was up on the hill
when the horse became frightened.
Pat stayed with it until he was
thrown out. He held onto the reins
and was thrown under the wheels
which passed over him about. the mid
die of the body. The horse continued
down the hill to the main road where
in the attempt to turn he lost his
footing and piled up, wagon and all.
The horse fell on his head and his neck
was broken, making short work of
what might have been a more serious
affair. Pat was picked up and taken
to the hospital. At first it was
thought he was seriously hurt, but
examination revealed the fact that
he was only badly bruised up. He is
getting along nicely.

DICK STANDS BY
SENATOR FORAKER
IN OHIO CONTEST

battle now being waged by him for the
Presidential Endorsement of the Buck

The Senator added that he did not
expect to take charge of headquarters,
but said he would confer with his
friends throughout the State.
He smiled when his attention was
called to reports from Ohio that he
was lukewarm IL support OF his coll
league, because many Of his lleutenants
of the old Hanna State machine. Of
which he is now the head, had notified
him that they would abandon his lead
ership if he attempted to fight President
Roosevelt
While the Senator would not, discuss
this phase of the situation, 1t is no
secret that his friends Will resist TO
the utmost all contentious that the con
test in his State is between the Presi-
dent and Foraker. They insist that the
fight is against Taft, and that 1t will
require a positive declaration from
President Roosevelt himself 10 change
their attitude.
The belief is growing that the For
aker forces are attempting To smoke
OUT the President Friends Of the Adj
ministration insist that as soon as Sec
rotary Taft returns from Porto Rico he
viii recognize the advisabiity of openly
espousing his candidacy by going in
person 10 Ohio TO take charge of the
Taft forces or Withdrawing from the
contest
These advisers Of President ROOse-
welt recognize that if Senator Dick can
hold the old Mckinley Hanna State or
ganization in line Tor Foraker that Sec
rotary Taft's lines have fallen in trou-
blesOme places. Dicks announcement
has increased interest in the Ohio con-
test

pressing upon the Agricultural Depart
ment the improperly of initiating legis-
lation no provision was made for carry
ing on this observatory, which costs

The Comptroller hopes that the de
termination Of this dispute may result
in a more settled condition of the

PRESIDENT MAY REMOVE
NEW MEXICO GOVERNOR

Gov. II. J. Hagerman. Of New
Mexico, faces removal from office. He
believes he can convince the President
that he has done no wrong in his official
connection with the Pennsylvania De-
velopment Company acquiring more
than 1900 acres OF valuable land in that
Territory
The governor called upon the Presi-
dent yesterday afternoon and explained
his side Of the case, which the Depart
ment OF Justice has decreed worthy Of
investigation. Secretary OF the Interior
Garfield was present Hagerman claims
that he merely fulfilled a real estate
transaction entered into by his prede-
cCssOr.
The development company, IL seems, is
connected with the Santa Fe system and
the and-railroad and political enemies
% the governor are pushing him hard.
