The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1907-02-07
DUNCAN DISTRICT.

The Hill brothers, of Duncan, have
given lease and bond on their copper
property near Ash Peak to some
Globe people for eighteen months,
price not stated.
Oliver Billingsley and VIM. Somers,
of Clifton, and B. F. Billingsley, of
Duncan, visited the Mayflower dis
trict last week to examine some cop
per property. They expressed them
selves as being well pleased with the
prospects, and say that they are sur
prised to see such prospects as these
laying idle, not being worked by
some company. B. F. Billingsley
says its the best showing for a big
mine that he has ever seen in all his
travels, and that's saying good
deal for Mr.. Billingsley has been
around some. Now we are bound to
agree with these gentlemen in regard
to the prospects in the Mayfower as
we have said all the time that the
time was not far off when the dis
trict would come to the front. All
we need is people with money and
not afraid to spend it to take hold of
it, and copper selling at the present
price we can't see why it is that some
mining men who are out looking for
good things don't take the matter
up. We are told that it takes a mil
lion dollars to make a copper mine.
Suppose it does. There are mil
lions to be made out of it. The time
has come when the people will have
to look for something else besides
tunnelsites as those places have all
been taken up. Go down after it.
Duncan is still building There being
a new house every week for several
months, and in case the county is
divided look out for her being the
county seat. For health, good water
and good people she can't be beat.

Many of the people of Clifton have
acquired the habit of posting their
letters in the mail car, instead of at
the postoffice. The regulations gov
erning the postal clerk require him
to handle the mail he receives from
the postoffices first, and then handle
the mail that is posted in the car.
If he has not time to cancel the
stamps on this mail before he arrives
at the terminus of his run he must
gather it up and take it to the post
office at the terminus. When trains
are on time on the Southern Pacific
the Arizona & New Mexico road
makes close connections at Lords
burg, and the postal clerk makes up
pouch to go east and another to go
west. If he has not time to handle
the mail posted on the car it goes
into the Lordsburg postoffice, and if
trains are on time it misses a train.
1t frequently happens that the mail
has to go into the Lordsburg office.
Wednesday of this week he could
not handle the mail posted on the
car, and had to take LOG letters into
the Lordsburg office. On that day
the east bound train was late into
Lordsburg, and all the east bound
mail made the same connection, but
there were thirty-seYen letters which
should have gone west that day, and
missed connection. There were four
letters that should have gone down
on the Southwestern. They missed
connection, and instead of reaching
their destination Wednesday evening
did not get there until Thursday
morning. There was one letter for
Morenci, that had to travel to Lords
burg and back, instead of being put
off at Guthrie in the morning.
There were four letters for Duncan,
which had to go to Lordsburg and
come back on the afternoon train.
If they required an answer the same
day there was an unnecessary DELAY !
of twenty-four hours. 1t this mail
had been mailed at the postoffice it |
would all have been worked and none |
of it delayed. 1t behooves the peo-
pie of Clifton, who want their mail |
to make good connections, to mail it
at the postoffice, in the evening, or
during the night, when it will be
worked and will go out on time and
make the proper connections.

From all parts of the district come
the most encouraging reports. Many
properties heretofore neglected are
new being exploited, while develop
ment work on more extensive scale
than ever before is being outlined
and prosecuted upon the older mines
of the district. All plants are being
operated at almost their full ca
pacity, but many mprovements,
which, when completed will material
ly increase the output are now under
way. The first month of the present
year shows gain over last
year and it is likely that
every month from this on will show
slight increase over last year. AS soon
as the Shannon company get their
new smelters installed they will al
most double their present output.
New shippers are also coming in
The Arizona Amalgamated company
will doubtless add materially to the
output in a short time, as all of their
options give them the right to ship,
and they have a number of proper
ties from which their tonnage will be
quite considerable, and will ma
terially swell the general output of
the district during the present year
The building of the railroad from the
Shannon smelter to the mines of
Metcalf, now practically assured,
will also have a stimulating effect
upon mining in general, as the Coro-
nado railroad has been taxed to its
limit for the past year or more. 1t
is also probably that upon the COM
pletion of the Shannon road to the
Shannon mines, branches will be
built to some of the large producers
in that end of the district. The
matter of transportation is already
under consideration by the Arizona
Anal gamated company, who will
doubtless be compelled to connect
their mines with the railroads in a
very short time. The building of
these roads and the opening up of
new mines will bring on an era of
prosperity meyer before known in
this district.

County Assessor Birdno arrived in
Clifton this week, and has COM

Birdno finds that the flood did not
materially lesson Clifton values.
Some of the merchants who lost
heavily by the flood have increased
their assessments, while others also
heavily damaged have made returns
only slightly less than last year. He
expects a material increase in prop
erty values throughout the county,
especially from the east end of the
county where many improvements
have been made by the mining compa-
MES during the pasty year, therefore a
lower tax rate than last year may be
expected.
