splendid dance, and enjoyed to the
utmost by the participants. The train
left the Park at II p. NJ, and the
crowd came home highly pleased with
the WOOdmen's picnic, which was
probably me of the best of the sea-
son. 1t was an absolute success in
every particular.

The Governor and Party Well Pleased
With School House Site.

On last Thursday evening a large
crowd of the citizens of Clifton were
at the depot to welcome the arrival
of Governor Kibbey and the members
of the board of control. The Clifton
band furnished music for the occasion
and the depot and the Clifton Hotel
were arrayed in the national colors
in honor of the official party. The
governor was accompanied by Hon.
w. F. Nichols, secretary of the ter
ritory, J. II. Page, territorial auditor,
and J. ]. Riggs, citizen member of
the board of control. The object of
the visit of the official body was for
the purpose of viewing and passing
upon the site for the new school
building which was recently selected
by the citizens of district No. 3S.
The party was escorted to the
Clifton Hotel, after which nearly
every citizen of Clifton had an OPP
portunity- to meet the governor and
his party. Under the guidance of a
special committee and the school
board the party was taken to the
new site where everything was taken
into consideration and the board
were well satisfied with the location.
After they completed their bust
ness, the party was taken to Metcalf,
Longfellow and Morenci on a special,
accompanied by number of promi.
nent citizens. They were taken
through the mines and saw many i'm
provements in the way of mining and
also saw Morenci and left for their
homes Saturday morning.
Now that the site has been accepted
it is quite likely that plans and
specifications will be furnished at an
early date and the contract let for
the new building. The school house
ought to be completed tor the begin
ming of the next school term.

New Opera House for Clifton.

1t has been rumored for some time
around the streets of Clifton that a
new opera house would be built in the
near future. Several parties have
been organizing stock company for
the purpose of building a $4,000
house on the Collins lot on East Side.
This would make an ideal location
for such a building, as it would be
about the same distance from every
section of the camp. $1,000 has al
ready been subscribed and those who
are pushing the enterprise are of the
opinion that sufficient money will be
raised within the next few weeks to
complete all plans. 1t is proposed to
make the building two stories using
the ground floor for the opera and
dance hall and the second floor for d
lodge room.

Rathbun.GoIdacker.

On last Saturday evening the beau
tiful residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John
D. Parks, on Hills addition, was the
scene of the wedding ceremonies
which made Miss Mary Goldacker
and Mr.. Frank D. Rathbun one.
The home was beautifully and taste
fully decorated for the occasion and
only a few of their most intimate
friends were present at the Cere-
monies, which were performed by
Rev. Curry H. Love, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church of Clifton.
The bride is one of the most popular
young ladies of Morenci and is a
sister to Mrs. J. D. Parks. She has
resided at Morenci the past two
years and was connected with the
public schools of that place. The
groom is connected with the civil
engineering department of the D. G.
company, which position he has held
for some time. He is well known in
the Hill City and has many friends
at that place. Mr.. and Mrs. Rath.
bun left Sunday morning for the
Grand Canyon and California, where
they will spend a few weeks, after
which they will return to Morenci
and reside in the future. They have
a host of friends who join the Era
in extending congratulations.
They we're presented with many
handsome presents.

CincO de MayO.

The celebration of the Mexican
national holiday, May 9Th, which took
place at Metcalf last Sunday, was
attended by almost the entire Next
can population of the Clifton-Mo-
renci district. Every Mexican who
could get off from labor took in the
celebration and participated in the
pleasures of the day. There were
numerous speeches made by leaders
among the Mexicaus and it is said
that everybody had a good time and
were pleased with the manner in
which everything was conducted.
The Coronado railroad, over which
excursions were run during the day,
handled more than 500 passengers
between Clifton and Metcalf and it
was late in the evening before the
last train returned laden to the deck.
Flat cars were provided with seats in
order that the crowd could be
handled.
After the exercises of the day we're
over the celebration closed with a
grand ball, which was attended by
everybody and all had jolly good
time.
Among the amusements of the day
was a grand kid shoot and a sham
bull fight. The shoot was attended
by a number of good marksmen and
the kids were tipped off right along
although they brought in good money
to the parties who conducted the
shoot. The bull fight was really the
best thing that has been pulled off in
this section. The bull was rugged
out with natural horns fastened to a
solid frame which was strapped tC
the back of strong Mexican
Horses were ridden into the ring and
the bull would make charges at the
animals, while the riders used spears
with which to hold the bull off. In
several instances the bull got to the
horse and then there was something
doing for the rider to stay on.
One of the most Commendable feat
ures of the celebration was the fact
that the celebration passed off with
out a single disturbance, which
speaks we'll for the Mexican people
In former years it was customary tt
have a half dozen shooting and cut
ting scrapes, while now everything
goes off without any disturbance
which would indicate that the Next
cans as rule are becoming better
citizens.
AS usual, number of Americans
attended the celebration and re
-aivad tho host of treatment

Fire at Duncan.

The handsome residence of Bart
Upton caught fire Sunday last and
but for the timely work of Mrs. Tip
ton considerable damage might have
been done. Mrs. Upton was in the
bed room getting the children ready
for Sunday School when she smelled
smoke and upon entering the kitchen
discovered that the woodbox had
caught fire from the stove and the
flames had made their way to the
ceiling. With the assistance of a
young lady who happened to be at
the house, and operated the pump,
water was secured and the fire was
extinguished. A few minutes delay
would have meant total destruction.
The residence was insured in the Sun
Insurance company, and Adam Smith
visited Duncan this week and ad-
justed the damage, which amounted
to about 800.

The TaiIin6S Case.

The tailings case brought by the
farmers of the ella valley against
the Arizona Copper company took up
most OF the time of the court at
Solomonville last week. The case
was placed in the hands of Judge F.
S. Nave, who will render his decision
at the next term of court, which
convenes in October. This is one of
the most important cases ever tried
in Graham county and involves all
the big mining companies of the
Clifton-Morenci district.
During the past two years there
has been plenty of water in the river
and the damage, if any, caused by
the dumping of tailings from the
concentration into the river has been
comparatively small, as all will agree
that the farms of the valley never
looked better than at present. Dur
ing dry seasons is the time that the
damage OCCURS, as the water in the
river is very low. Conditions have
been improved to some extent during
the past year or two, as the com
panies have made provisions for tax
ing care of the bulk of the refuse
from the concentratorS.

THE time is growing near for the
starting of the Shannon-Arizona
railroad, which is to built from the
Shannon smelter to the mines at
Metcalf, thereby opening up the
whole district. Many people are
deeply interested in the building of
the road and appear to be doubtful if
it will ever materialize. That the
road will be built there is little doubt,
the only question being just when
actual work will be commenced on
the grade. 1t is a well known fact
that engineers have been working on
it for some time and must have it
pretty we'll staked out by this time.
Perhaps in about week or ten days
announcement will be made as to the
building of the road. 1t will require
some time to build the road and de-
lays in material will most likely set
back the completion of it to some ex-
tent

ONE of the best things that Ora
ham county can do is to follow the
instructions of the recent grand jury
and provide respectable Jail for the
Clifton precinct. The present Jail is
built of light lumber and would not
hold more than a half dozen prison
ers. The size OF the Jail is sufficient
to accommodate the present demand
but the building is not secure and one
in which an important prisoner could
not be kept without a special guard
to watch him. 1t will be remembered
that an important prisoner was re
leased from the Clifton Jail shortly
after the flood by the aid of a friend
The supervisors should see that this
camp is provided with a good jai
building.

were married the same evening latter

Recommendations of the Grand Jury.

At the recent sitting of the grand
jury, composed of twelve of the best
citizens of Graham county, the fol-
lowing recommendations were made:
We find that the present as we'll as
past sessions of the grand jury have
been unnecessarily prolonged by rea-
son of the failure of justices of the
peace to properly report cases for
the consideration of the grand jury.
We therefore recommend that the
district attorney instruct all justices
of the peace to promptly transmit all
papers together with a list of the
witnesses to the clerk of the district
court in all cases examined by them.
We further recommend that the JUS
tees of the peace secure the attend
ance of important witnesses by re-
curing bonds or committing them to
the custody of the sheriff until such
time as the case may be finally dis
posed of.
We recommend that the board of
supervisors purchase more cells for
the county Jail, and that they cause
to be erected windmill and water
tank for the purpose of supplying
water to the Jail and hospital, that
there may be more sanitary Cond1'
lions maintained.
We recommend the building of an
addition to the hospital to be used as
kitchen and diningroom; also the
building of d suitable room to be used
as bath room. We further recon-
mend that the pipe line be extended
from the Jail watertank to the hospi
tai. We find that the hospital is vel
kept and that the patients are wei
cared for.
We find that the branch Jail al
Clifton is inadequate for the reten
ton of prisoners, is unsanitary ant
unsafe. 1t is therefore strongly
recommended by this grand jury tina
steps be taken by the board of super
visors to better the conditions there
existing.
In view of the large and increasing
criminal business in the east end o
the county, we recommend the ap
pointment of deputy district at
torney who shall reside in the cas-
end of the county and whose duty i
shall be to look after the crimina
business in the towns of Clifton, Mo
renci and Metcalf.
We thank his honor, Frederick S
Nave, and other court officials TO
their prompt and courteous consid
Grafton during our session.

WITH just a little more public
spirit Clifton would be much better
off. Too few of the representative
citizens of the town take interest in
