The Italian Colony.

J. G. Gatti, president of the Ital
ian colony on the ella river at Dun
can, arrived in Clifton this week on
business. Mr.. Gatti has just recent
ly returned from Glendale, California,
where he purchased a carload of the
finest vine cuttings, which will be set
out on the farm. The cuttings have
arrived and are being set out as fast
as possible.
The farm consists of 400 acres, all
of which is under cultivation and
from which there will be a vast har-
vest this year. Under the manage
ment of Mr.. Gatti, the Italian colony
is bound to succeed, as he is one of the
best hustlers in the west.
Quite a number of Italian families
have already settled on the farm and
about twenty hands are now at work
g citing theground ready for planting.
This is an entirely new proposition
and it will be great convenience to
the people of the Clifton Morenci
district to secure an abundance of
fresh vegetables. Those who have
had occasion to visit the farm lately
have been greatly surprised to see
what has been accomplished in such
a short time. Mr.. Gatti is devoting
his personal attention to the farm.

Base Ball.

On next Sunday afternoon there
will probably be a match game of
baseball between Clifton and Morenci
on the local diamond. Arrangements
are being made and are about com
pleted for the match. Ashley and
O'Brien are still at Morenci and it is
said that the Hill City has five first
class players Clifton has Marquee
to do the twirling and there are
enough of the old players present to
give Morenci lively chase.
A practice game was played last
Sunday and the most of the boys APP
peared to be in good form. Base
ball has been a little slow in Clifton
so far this season. Almost all the
towns in the territory have good
teams. When Clifton and Morenci
get in shape there will be no trouble
to secure outside games. Let the
fans turn out next Sunday and help
the cause.

Arturo NJ. Elias, Mexican consul to
the United States, with headquarters
at Tucson, and who formerly resided
at Solomenville, spent a few days of
the past week in Clifton on business
and incidentally renewing acquaint-
ance with old friends. He was very
hattering in his praise of the appear
ances of Clifton, as he supposed that
the flood had completely demolished
the camp. Instead he found nearly
all of the wrecked buildings either
torn down or replaced with new ones.

New copper strikes seem to be the
predominating feature in the develop
ment of the Gold Belt Development
and Reduction company. Almost
every week new and important
strikes are made on the property,
which increases the already certain
success of the company. a new cop
per strike was made last week in the
170-foot drift on the 10O-level in shaft
No. 1. The ore retains its good gold
values and the copper will assay
about to per cent, which greatly
enhaces the value of the ore. Pros
pecting has opened up copper ore 400
yards east of Tunnel No. l, which
proves up the vein distance of
about 800 yards east and west, and
indicates that a large body of good
copper ore will probably be en-
countered with sinking. A new 10
horse power gasoline hoist is being
installed on this vein to hasten the
work of sinking. AS soon as this en-
CINE is in running order two shifts
will be put to work. The manage
ment of the company expects to
make about 100 feet depth per month.
At this rate the shaft will soon reach
the sulphide zone, and then it is like
ly that constant shipping will be COM
menced. The company is now load
ing two carloads of ore at Morenci,
which will be shipped to the Shannon
Smelter tor treatment.

MINES AND MINING.

The Cansler heavy teams left Mo-
renci last Monday loaded with sup
plies for the New York-Arizona
mines. The shipment was composed
mostly of lumber, which will be used
in the construction of a bunk and
boarding house. The material will
be conveyed by wagon to within d
short distance of the mines, where it
will be unloaded and packed on
burros to its destination. The COM
pany will at once make arrangements
to build wagon road to the mines,
and when the wagon road and build
ings are completed, extensive deyel-
opment work will be commenced on
the property. 1t is said that enough
ore was taken out last week by a
couple of men to net the company in
the neighborhood of $500. This ore
was extracted from a lead on one of
the claims, which widened consider
ably as depth was gained and held up
we'll in gold values. While this work
was done on an extra good lead, still
there is every reason to believe that
the company's property as Il whole
will turn out well with systematic
and economical management.
