pany's witnesses testified that the
company was not only able to
keep the tailings out of the river
but was actually doing so at that
time.
After the trial the court gave
until November for counsel on
both sides to prepare and submit
briefs. When the case came up
and the briefs and arguments were
submitted, the whole case finally
hinged upon the testimony of the
defense. The arguments submitted
to the court were very able, but
the courts decision showed that
be had made a careful study of the
entire matter and that the testi,
mony of the defense, that they
were able to take care of the tail
ings was the point upon which
the decision was based, and it was
right, and we do not believe 1t
will be reversed by the supreme
court, for the principle is as old
and rock bound as time.
The courts language in sum
ming up was about as follows:
IF the mining companies CAN.
NOT operate without doing the
farmers damage, then the farmers
must sustain that damage. But,
on the othor hand, if they CAN
operate and not do us dsmage
then they must take care Of the
taihngs."
The language shows clearly that
the court rendered its decision
upon the testimony introduced by
the defense of competent and re.
liable witnesses.
And by the way, it is an amaz
ing proposition the Era advances.
What benefit would the Clifton
market or any, other market be to
our farmers if the tailings killed
the crops?

TAIlINGS SHOULD Be KEPT OUT

In view of the testimony given
by the witnesses of the Arizona
Copper company at the trial of
the tailiDgs case last May, the
article of the Copper Era, and
which was copied last week by
the Journal, warning the farmers
of the valley that If the suit is
successful in the supreme court
the mines at Clifton and Morenci
will close down and the market
for the produce of this valley will
be lost, is, to say the least, anus
ing.
The real fact is, the people of
this valley were justified in the
action they took for the preserva-
tion of their homes. Prot. Forbes
testimony was conclusive as to
the ultimate destruction Of the
valley lands If the tailiDgs con.
tinued in the river.
Another point that makes the
article ridiculous and should warn
the people against those who
would advise them on this line, is
the fact that the Detroit Copper
Company and the Shannon Cop
per Company had been keeping
their tailings out of the river for
months prior to the fling of the
suit, and have done so ever since,
except during high water when it
does no harm to dump the tailibgs
into the river for during these
periods no water is used for irri-
cation.
There would be more sense in
advising the people of Chase
Greek to drop their suit for dam.
ages against the d. G. Co., when
their dam broke and is alleged TO
have caused so much damage, for
in this very few people were alb.
solutely ruined, whils the tailings
will finally ruin one of the richest
agricultural sections IN the world.
Yet we do not hear other the Era
or the Journal advising such
action.
The strongest point we wish to
bring out is the testimony of the
witnesses of the defendant to the
tailings suit aud around which the
courts decision hung. The com.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

There is something inspiring in
the whole souled generosity and
good cheer that overtakes the gen.
eral run Of humanity during the
Christmas season. This spirit of
compassion and love, typifying
the lite and works of the Savior,
makes brothers of all men and all
civilized nations, and has dis
tinct effect for good throughout
the year. This spirit is plainly
prevalent in the Gila Valley at
the present time, as evidenced by
the many gatherings being
planned, having for their object
the cheering and furnishing of the
good things of life to the nfortu-
nate and needy. Such actions Of
kindness benefit the giver as well
as the receiver, and it is again
proven that "it is more blessed TO
give than to receive"
May the earth's choicest gifts be
showered upon the destitute and
unfortunate; may the efforts of the
generous be prospered and their
hearts be blessed with pleasure
and contentment; and may all the
people of the valley have joy
Gus Christmas holiday, is the
earnest hope Of The GUARDIAN.

TYLER WINNING APPLAUSE.

TYLER WINNING APPLAUSE.
The representative of The Bee, We are
sorry to admit, was not present at the
Bethel Literary Tuesday night, Decem-
Der 10, to hear the paper read by Hon.
R w Tyler, Auditor for the Navy.
We are informed that the uniqueness
and instruction of the paper were of
the superlative character.
The subject Les Miserables" from
the work of Victor Hugo, was so sue
cinctly areated and the applications SO
happily made that the auditors were held
spellbound
The paper was out of the ordinary
and the manner in which it was handled
took those who heard it far into the
land of delight
1t was said at the opening of the
meeting that Mr.. yler was not a figure
head, and The Bee is Of the opinion
thta his work in the community war
rants the statement. He is doing much
good in this city, and here will be gen
uine regret when the times comes for
him to leave. He seems to possess the
power 70 discovery; sees merit in deeds
and person.
Not long ince The Bee called atten-
ton to the fact that the Auditor for
he Navy had made an informal visit
to an humble institution in this city and
spoke words of cheer to manager and
little ones. Mr.. Tyler was not salts
fed with words, which he considered
only leaves, but he went to the point Of
producing the fruit When the Thanks
giving season was approaching he said,
le there be a dinner for the little ones.
Somebody suggested that fifty be pro-
vided for, but the Auditor said let one
hundred be fed, and suiting the word
to the deed gave money sufficient to
supply dinner for sixty, leaving only
forty to be supplied by the public
Our friend and brother attorney at
law, z. A. Patton, ex-member OF the
Legislature of Texas, has been one of
the benehciaries of Mr.. Tyler's timely
coming to this city For quite a while
he was employed in the Office of the
Commissioner ofInternal Revenue, where
he had an excellent record, and where
he passed the Civil Service examination
twice, but promotions came few and
far between. The Auditor heord of him
