The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1907-06-13

"The Advocate Is informed by a
person who is in a position to know
that there are at least fifty cases of
typhoid fever in Clifton at the pres
ent time, and the terrible malady is
rapidly increasing. 1t is high time
that a determined effort should be
made to clean up the town, certain
portions of which are in a filthy con-
dition. The Arizona Copper company
must be forced to do its duty in the
premises and assume its share in the
work of obtaining better sanitary
conditions. 1t has been Indifferent
too long"
1t is indeed unfortunate that the
Advocate should print such state
ment as the above when as a matter
of fact there are not more than
twelve cases of typhoid in the camp,
and the most of them are about we'll.
Who the Advocates reliable author
ity can be the ERA does not know,
but it is certain that the information
did not come from the doctors of
Clifton, and they are about the only
people in position to know. Such
statements as this will give the camp
a black-eye to the outside world.
There has not been but two or three
deaths from typhoid fever this year
and as to the raging epidemic, it
can't be located with a magnifying
glass. 1t is surprising that "truth-
fulr organ like the Advocate should
allow its reporters to furnish such
inaccurate information. 1t is fact
that sanitary conditions are not what
they should be, but unless the people
of Clifton assist the company, it will
be impossible to improve conditions.
The A. G. company has recently done
considerable cleaning up and is now
cleaning out Chase creek, which is in
d very unsanitary condition. This
work will cost a large sum of money
and while it is being done for pro-
lection it will at the same time re-
move filth that has been accumule-
ting the past five years.

Tone of japanese Resolution.

The Council of Progressive at
Toxic adopted a resolution declaring
that the "anti-Japanese acts at San
Francisco are not of a temporary
nature and the federal government
at Washington must be held responsi-
bic for failure to prevent such out
RACES and that the attitude of our
government toward that in Washing
ton has so far been unsatisfactory to
the nation"

DURING the past few weeks great
many of the Mexicans have been
quitting their jobs and going to Mex
leo. This appears to be the practice
of the most of them who save up
little cash. Almost every day
bunch of them leave, but the incom-
ing trains generally bring back as
many, or more. On the whole there
is always enough of them on hand to
supply the demand. They generally
return to Clifton when they are look
ing for work.

Married at Ell PaSO.

Miss Sue Good and Mr.. Ed. Morrill,
were united in marriage at the home
of friends at Ell Paso Friday of last
week. They spent a few days in Ell
Paso, after which they started for
Clifton, arriving Tuesday evening.
They were old acquaintance and the
marriage closed a romance of many
pages. The bride is an attractive
young lady and will be welcomed by
the Clifton people. The groom is en-
ployed in the carpenter department
of the A. C. company and is we'll
known by many old timers in Clifton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrill, have secured
apartments in the Dunn building and
will make Clifton their home. The
ERA extends congratulations and
wishes them a happy and successful
journey through life.

L1te yesterday afternoon one of
the Elliott transfer wagons was
struck by box car at the crossing
and one of the best horses belonging
to the stable was run down. 1t seems
that the driver drove too close to the
track and tried to stop, but the car
struck the horse on the front shoulder
and knocked him around. His hind
foot was caught by the wheels and
badly mangled. The horse had to

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

So FAR this year the weather has
been exceedingly cool and it now be-
gins to look as though the Clifton
people will not have to go away
seeking cool climate. June is gen.
orally the hottest month in the year,
but so far the nights have been cool
enough to sleep under cover.

Base ball has been exceedingly
slow in Clifton this season and it now
seems doubtful if the boys will get
organized. The season is passing
rapidly and almost every town in
Arizona is represented by good teams
except Clifton and Morenci, when as
a matter of fact these two camps
have always had the best in the ter
ritory. Several outside teams have
challenged Clifton for games, but so
far no matches have been made. A
game is now on with FL Paso, which
is to be pulled off at Ell Paso this
week. Owing to the fact that Gilt
ton is not organized, an effort is be-
ing made to make up a nine from
Clifton and Morenci which will go
down and take it out of the Texas
boys. A fast team can be made up
by talent from both places. Ashley,
the crack Morenci pitcher, who re-
Gently returned from San Francisco,
where he was tried out in the big
league, has returned and can be de-
pended upon to deliver the goods.
The Clifton diamond has not been
completed and the boys seem to be
losing all interest, but it is to be
hoped that they will get together
and give the people some sport. A
few good games will soon build up the
attendance aud support of local fans.

time. This was tho positive assertion
made To The Tribune representative

pora5ion. Upon returning 90 MS Salt
Lake headquarters, after several
weeks trip abroad and TO the East. Mr.
Ncwhouse was met by Lawrence Town
send who has Just reached Salt Lake
from the mine. Mr.. Ncwhousc said:
"Mr. Townsend tells me that the ore
IN the Ncwhousc property is bigger,
better. broader. and the milling grade
richer than ever before. In every part
OF the mirc the milling grades of ore
show the finest averages ever gained

great a depth for sinking by hand, so
that work will be discontinued until

This should be within Il very short

PRESENT STATE OF
THE ZINC INDUSTRY
Railroads Get Lions Share of
Profits While the Pro
ducers Squirm.

The only companies now making any
money from the zine industry of the
State of Utah are the railroad compa-
nies. These organizations do not own
zinc mines, nor arc they under the ex-
pense and worry incident to mining,
They simply haul the ore from mine to
market On an average the shipper
usually gets something like $l2 per ton
for his zinc ore from the smclters. OF
this sum he is allowed to keep 81, the
railroads get the rest of 1T, Recent
disclosures Of zinc ores throughout the
southern portion of Utah have served
to Illustrate the growing Importance
of this one branch of Utah mining.
But those who should know what
they are talking about arc authority
for the statement that hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of zinc ore
is being thrown over the dumps each
season, owing TO the impracticability
of sending the same TO the smclters
in the East under the present freight
rates. Those now sending zinc ores
to the Eastern smeltcrs can only send
such rock as averages 33 per cent or
better, otherwise the process would
cost them money instead of bringing
any In. A great portion of the ores
now per force mined and turned over
the dumps could be marketed under
reasonable rates.
Recent discoveries of zinc ores in
Beaver county have led several zinc in
tercsts to the proposition of either pro.
vldlng their own means of ore reduction
or quit mining the same. They are
now considering, 1t is stated, the propo-
sitlon OF erecting smelter for zinc
ores either at Milford. or in the vicin-
ity Of Salt Lake, or at some point near
the southern end of the Salt Lake val.
ley: The latter point is most favored
owing to the proximity of coal and 9th
er necessaries for the business. Pro.
duccrs generally are agreed that the
point is reached where either freight
rate reforms or local reduction means
must be forthcoming.
Under the present conditions, the rail.
roads are the best zinc miners, although
they do not produce the ore nor own the
ground from which it comes.

affected that the affairs ~ the company
are not understood by them as they
deem conditions warrant,
The leyyIng Of Il 20-Cenr assessment
the present week by the board of di-
rectors has set this movement on fool,
and those who want 10 know ARE
of the opinion that this is the first of
Il series Of three assessments TO settle
the Indebtedness Of the company. They
assert that the Honerinc company never
has held an annual meeting, or if 1t
has. the minority stockholders have not
been apprised of the fact. They also
state that the company is paying 8
per cent interest on the debt, while
money on seven years time If ncces-
sary was offered TO the company at s
per cent.
1t is only fair to say that the Hon
crime has been somewhat of a dlsap-
polntment to the local stockholders, al
though they deem the mine one of the
banner propositions i'll the State. What
action will be taken by the minority
holders Of stock remains to be seen,
but from the nature of the people who
have taken the matter up it looks as if
the movement is loaded and one that
will stick.
Said a stockholder yesterday: eve
want to know the real status of the
company, and why annual meetings are
not held and reports made as is usual
in such organizations. We believe 1T
due us to discover why the property
has not been making better showing
and what the plans of those In charge
are for the future. We certainly do
not desire to keep paying assessments
unless we know that the conditions
at the mine warrant such an outlay.
Some stock held by those ignorant of
these conditions cost in the neighbor-
hood Of So per share, and such owners
rightly deem some information apropos
when the stock of a generally conceded
big mine is offered for sale at a few
cents share, especially when the mine
must not have been touched for its ore,
Judging from the rate the indebtedness
is being wiped out.

time he had uncovered as rich a vein
of ore as has ever been discovered in
Southern Nevada. The quartz is shot
full of coarse gold and in places there
are nuggets of almost pure gold as
large as marbles. This rich find was
encountered within two feet of the

Gunn-T Thompson Company on
Thursday Makes the First
Big Payment.

Guun-Thompsop 6 Co., the recently
organized company of Salt Lake and
Eastern capitalists, aside from gather
ing in such precious mineral ground
as deemed worth while, is securing coal
interests as well, and when the pres
ent programme has been carried out
this Organization Will be one Of the big
factors in this field. George +. Gum
stated TO the Tribune yesterday that
the company has Just purchased large
acreage of coal land from Ed Chap
man, the property being located at Rock
Springs. This property has been under
option 10 the Gunn-Thompson Company
for some time past, and the first pay
ment has been made. The size of the
consideration has not been divulged,
but IL is commensurate with tho mag
nitude of the transaction.
The mines are just three and halt
miles from the railroad, and this dis
tance will be covered by a branch linz
