North Congregational Church, received a
sund drubbing after prayer meeting Thurs
day night by about fifty young members Of
his congregation. While Mr.. Livingston was

and when their pastor entered he was set
upon and a shinglng was given him that
he will not soon forget. The minister

PascOe Secures Undertaking Business.

c. F. Pascoe, the Clifton under
taker, has just closed deal with the
Arizona Copper company, whereby
he acquires the entire undertaking
business of Clifton and in the future
nothing can be secured in the under
taking line except from him. This
line of goods has been handled by IL e
store department of the A. c. con-
pany many years and the business
has been so limited that it was al
most impossible for two concerns to
exist. Mr.. Pascoe has resided in
Clifton a humber of years, during.
which time he has conducted under
taking and embalmiug parlors. He
has gone througha couple of fires and
suffered considerable loss from floods
and was thinking about leaving
when he made the deal whereby he
will be able to do all the business of
the camp. He Is now in a position to
at least make a living. His parlors
are located on East Side, where he
has fitted up nicely.

They Will Come Back.

During the past week the Clifton
people were favored with the smiling
countenance of A. c. Davis, COM
monty known among old timers as
Pap" In the early history OF the
Shannon Copper company Pap" was
identified with that concern as chief
boOk-keeper, but after a few years
he resigned to take a position with a
mining company in Mexico. He re-
manned in Mexico for some time, but
recently resided in Globe where he
was employed with the Mitchell COM
pany. He has severed his connection
with the Globe company and came to
Clifton to see his old friends who are
quite numerous. He is the same old
pap" and is looking younger" all
the time. On Saturday evening last
he was entertained by the Shannon
hill boys and good time was had
talking over old times. He left
Tuesday morning for Globe, where
he will remain temporarily. Mr..
Davis is an expert book-keeper and
has few equals in his line.

Union Sunday School Picnic.

There will be a union Sunday
School picnic given at Guthrie on
next Thursday, May Both, to which
all parents and children of Clifton
are cordially invited. Arrangements
have been made with the A. & N. M i.
railway whereby rate of one fare

the occasion. Guthrie, with its beau
tiful shade trees, is especially adapted
for picnic grounds and those who at
tend will certainly have good time.
Quite number have already an
nounced their intention to go, but the
larger the crowd the better time will
be had. Don't forget to take your
lunch along. The ladies who are ar
ranging the picnic are meeting with
much success and are enthusiastic
over the prospects of having the
largest picnic in the history of this
country. The little ones will be
looked after by the elderly ladies.

Closing Exercises Of Public Schools.

After one of the most successful
school terms in the history of Clifton
the North and South Clifton public
schools will close Friday. Through
the efforts of the teachers an elab.
crate program has been arranged
which will be presented in public at
the opera hotse on Thursday and
Friday nights of this week, May 23rd
and 9th. Considerable time has
been devoted to practice and the
children from both schools will take
part. On account of there being
considerable expense attached to the
entertainment it will be necessary to
charge small admission fee. Adults
will be charged twenty-five cents and
children, not taking part in the exer-
cises, ten cents, tickets being good
for both nights. There will be a
change of program Friday night.
Nearly everybody in Clifton is per-
sonally interested in the public
schools and no doubt the attendance
will be good.

Clifton to Celebrate July Fourth.

At a meeting of number of CitI-
zens of Clifton one evening this
week, it was decided to celebrate the
Fourth of July in grand style. Henry
Hill was elected chairman and ].
Backsteih secretary of the Fourth of
July committee. A finance commit
tee, consisting of G. G. Spahn, Robt.
D. Roberts, Chas. Freeman and Karl
Schade, was appointed and will at
once get busy.
1t is proposed to celebrate in
proper style and in order to carry
out the plans as proposed, it will re-
quire at least $500. All business
men and citizens will be called upon
and given an opportunity to donate
for the support of the grand celebra-
subject for several years and it is
about time that something should be
done. Several good donations have
already been made. 1t is proposed to
build large platform on Hill's new
addition, and the carpenters union
of Clifton will donate the labor
necessary to build it. There will be
a grand barbecue free to the public
and Jud Webster has donated four
beeves. The program will consist of
horse racing, foot races, bicycle
races, a band concert, speeches by
prominent men, ball game and a
sham battle between Shannon hill
and Hills fat. In addition to the
above, there will be many other
amusements. The committee is quite
certain that the celebration will be
grand success if the citizens will do
their part in providing for expenses.
1t. is proposed to invite the people
from all over the county to join in
the celebration and have good time.

Eastern Visitors.

During the past week Clifton was
favored with the presence of two
prominent men from Boston, both of
whom are interested in this district,
one of them being J. N. Lowell and
the other w. F. Bartholomew. Mr..
Lowell is a member of the brokerage
firm of Towle & Fitzgerald, one of
the leading concerns doing business
in Boston. Mr.. Bartholomew is a
bright newspaperman and is the
editor of the Boston News Bureau,
one of the most reliable newspapers
published in the east. They spent
several days in Clifton in company
with N. L. Amster, president of the
Shannon Copper company. During
their stay they visited the smelling
plants of the Arizona and Shannon
Copper companies and were well
pleased with what they saw. This
was Mr.. Bartholomew second visit
to Clifton and he was greatly sur
prised at the wonderful advancement
of the Shannon and other companies
since his last visit. They also Wis
tied the mines of the two companies
in company with the managers and
directors of both and were given a
fair idea of what is going on in the
district. They haye always been
partial to this district, but are now
thoroughly convinced that it has a
wonderful future. They LETT Satur-
day for Globe, where they will spend
a short time looking over the district
and will also visit other camps in the
territory before returning home.

A prospecting party consisting OF
VIM. Allender, Dan Lynch, Tom
Sidebotham and Guy Bates returned
last week from a weeks trip into the
Mogollon mountains. They are lot
of jolly fellows and know how to have
a good 1Ge, but the mission of their
trip was to locate something good or
prove the story of the Adams dig
gings. They found the weather a
little cold, but did not have anything
to say about the diggings. In some
portions of that country there is
good prospecting and with trans
portatiou facilities it might develop
into huge proportions. The boys re-
port a most delightful trip, but were
sorry they could not stay longer.

Rolla B. Watson, consulting en-
gineer of the Shannon Copper COM
pany, spent couple of days of this
week at the mines of the company.
Mr.. Watson is mining engineer of
considerable note and spends the
most of his time at the properties of
companies with which he is con-
nected. He does not talk for publ
cation, hence it is not possible to say
what he thinks of the Shannon prop
erty, but reports are current that
the Shannon mines are looking well.
The Shannon is working number of
mines in the district which are pro-
ducing considerable ore.
