Haywood ACQUITTED.

After one of the hardest fights in
the history of the country and in
which Haywood was tried for
his life, the jury on last Sunday
morning brought in verdict of not
guilty, which came as a surprise to
many people who expected convic-
ton or hung jury.
Haywood and his associates were
elated with the verdict and have
come to the conclusion that the far
mer is honest. In spite of the many
charges made at the beginning of the
trial Judge Wood proved himself to
be fair and in fact gave the defend
ant shade the best of it.
Meyer was released on 5000
bail which was furnished in cash
by the Butte local of Western Feder-
alton of Miners.
1t was thought that in the event of
the acquittal of Haywood the other
cases would be dropped, but the
prosecution has announced that Pet
tibone, Adams and Simpkins, when
apprehended, will be prosecuted to
the full extent of their ability.
Formal application was made to have
Pettibone admitted to bail. 1t was
promptly denied by Judge Wood.

The SmeIter Strike Situation.

After a shutdown of about a week,
caused by the employees around the
A. c. Smelter demanding more wages,
two furnaces were started up again
Monday. Very. few of the old men
have gone back to work, but it is
possible that those who have not left
camp will go back to their old jobs
again. Quite number of them have
left the camp for other fields. The
furnaces have been in operation since
Monday, but so far the converters
have not been put into commission.
A bunch of men have been willing to
go to work in the converter room
since Tuesday, but at first they were
delayed on account of some necessary
work on the crane, and after that
was completed another delay was
caused by the reverberatory being
frozen. Men have been busy trying
to open it but so far they have been
unsuccessful. However, it is quite
certain that things will be moving
today.
So far the men who quit their jobs
have conducted themselves orderly
and not a single disturbance has
taken place.

Scotland in the interest of the
merger. So far nothing more than
heresay can be reported. President
Amster of the Shannon says:
The question of consolidating the
Shannon and Arizona companies has
been under consideration, but any
talk of the matter to date has been
of an informal nature between direc-
tors as individuals. Mr.. Hopkins,
the American director of the Ari-
iona Copper company, and one of its
largest stockholders, is especially
keen upon the subject as he realizes
the possibilities of consolidation of
the companies which could practi-
cally control othe Clifton camp.
OF course such a consolidation
would be of benefit to the Shan
non company which is now producing
half as much copper as the Ari-
IONA Copper company, although it's
stock is selling for but $4,000, 900
against S3O,OOO,OOO for the Arizona
company TIE latter company, how
ever, would derive even greater
benefits than the Shannon as such a
consolidation would result in new
blood in the management, increased
smelling facilities and a chance for
growth which has not been taken ad-
vantage of. These two companies
combined could, within a few years,
produce 100000 pounds of copper
per annum. Consolidation, however.
is hope rather than an immediate
probability, though Mr.. Hopkins who
sailed for Scotland, may be able to
bring about the first steps necessary.
President Gill, of the Arizona COM
pany, who has but recently returned
t. Scotland, is fully alive to the
possibilities of amalgamation.

THE "OAK FARM"
Presented at the Opera House to a
LARGE Crowd.

The Clifton School of Dramatic
Art, under the supervision of Prof.
E. N. Prettyman, made its initial APP
pearance at the Opera House last
Monday evening when it presented
soak Farm" in four acts. 1t was not
given on Friday evening on account
of the illness of Miss Kreutzmann,
one of the interesting subjects in the
play.
The seating capacity of the opera
house was taxed to its utmost and
everybody seemed to enjoy them
selves to the fullest extent, express
ing surprise at the amount of good
talent in Clifton. The affair was a
pronounced success and the club is
now working on other plays which
will be presented in the near future.
w. S. Bradfield, as Silas Weather
by, played the part of a farmer to
perfection and captured the applause
of the house. Edwin Abraham, as
Donald Weatherby, was especially
good and made ahit as DIR. Merri-
.deth. which part he took in addition
10 Donald. Clyde Prettymen, who
played the part of Joel Weatherby,
proved himself equal to the occasion
and succeeded in amusing the
audience. AS a comic performer
Clyde can hold his own with anything
that has ever struck Clifton. Prof.
Prettyman played the part of Jona-
than Prune and succeeded in maxi
ing his appearance as natural as
life. VIM. Horton as Jocelyn Spudge
and Prof. Troy filed his part OF the
program to perfection. Mrs. J. E.
Hargis, as Sara Weatherby, was ex-
ceedingly good and acted her part as
well as one who had much experience
on the stage. Miss Mollie Lilies was
given the heavy part, Helen Trum-
bull, and in her usual captivating
manner, played her part as true as
life. Jennie Magruder, who has Cliff
ton captured when it comes to play
ing the part of an old maid, made
really better than when she per-
formed in 1.-THE Deacon" Augusta
Kreutzmann, as Sally Smart, was the
fun-maker and without her wit the
play would have been slow. The
specialties consisted of witty jokes
passed by Clyde Prettyman and a
couple of songs by Mr.. Buchanan.
He is fine singer and his two selec-
tions were highly appreciated by the
audience.
One of the features of the enter
tainment was the fact that each part
of the program was filed by parties
specially adapted to the place. Not
a single hitch occurred and every
thing went off as smooth as possible.
Those who did not attend missed one
of the best entertainments of the
season.

A. c. AND SHANNON MERGER.

According to the Boston News
and Shannon Copper companies might
be merged into one company, which,
if such a thing takes place, means
that a larger plant will be needed
and it will most likely be located on
Shannon hill. The report states
that ]. G. Hopkins, resident director
of the A. G. company, has sailed for

NEW YoRK-AR1zoNA RAISED.

The board of directors of the New
York-Arizona company have advanc-
ed the price of stock to % cents per
share, the change taking effect today
August 1st. The management of the
company has been successful in plac-
ing enough stock at 10 cents to give
it ample money in the treasury with
which to do a great deal of work.
The company started out with TWEEN
ty-five full claims which number was
increased to thirty last week. The
FIVE new claims are all good prospects,
carrying good gold, silver and copper
values, and were purchased from A.
M. Tuthill, of Morenci, and Robert
Rae, of Douglas. More men are be-
ing added TO the force as fast as room
permits. Two shifts have been put
on and a number of contracts will be
let for tunnel and shaft work. A
small shipment of about seven tons
was made last week which will go
high in gold, silver and copper. 1t is
reported that things are moving
nicely at the camp and the shaft on
the Shadow is moving downward. 1t
is in ore and as soon as 100 feet depth
is attained, drift will be run both
ways on the vein. The shaft work
will be continued to 500 feet de pth
and drifts will be run at each 100
feet and enough ore will be shipped
to keep the treasury in a healthy
condition. A large number of Clifton
and Morenci people have already Wis
tied the property and the public is
invited to the camp in order to see
has.

THE first issue of the Globe Masco

THE first issue of the Globe Mascot
reached the ERA Office last week. 1t
is six-column four-page paper and
edited by P. J. Bennett, formerly
proprietor of the Clifton Herald.
Mr.. Bennett is veteran newspaper
man and will certainly make sue
cess in good camp like Globe. The
Mascot is republican in politics,
which gives it good foundation on
which to stand. 1t is newsy paper
and the first issue contained a large
amount of interesting reading. The
ERA wishes Mr.. Bennett unbounded
success in his new location.

A. c. DRUG Store.

The new A. G. Drug store, under
tie management of Roy Wayland, is
now completed and the handsome
new fixtures are in place. Eighty
two feet of glass front wall cases and
sixty feet of plate glass show cases,
all we'll filled with drugs and every
thing connected with the drug bust
ness, gives it the inside appearance of
a city store. In addition to this is a
magnificent double compartment In
novation soda fountain, with seating
capacity of thirty-two people. Each
department is classified with neat
signs and customers can see at a
glance where they want togo. A nice
jewelry department is also conducted
under the management of K. A.
Loerch, matchmaker, jeweler and op-
tician. Seven people are employed
in the store.

GOLD BELT CHANGES.

At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Gold Belt company,
held at its office III Clifton last Satur-
day afternoon, it was decided to re-
move the secretary-treasurer s office
to the mines, the change to take
place soon after August list. By
this change the company will save
the extra expense of keeping up two
Offices. The company's fiscal agent, F.
B. Laine, will have his Office in Cliff
ton. Owing to the fact that the COM
pany is now, and has been on a pay
ing basis for some time, the stock
was advanced to par-S1.00 per share.
This is the best showing that has ever
been made by new companies in this
district. Less than twenty months
ago the company was organized and
stock was offered to the public at 10
cents per share. Work was soon
started and after few months the
property commenced to look up, with
the result that the price of stock was
advanced. And it has continued to
forge to the. front until now it is at
the top notch. Gold and copper are
the principal resources of the COM
pany. While the gold prospect of
the company is of the best, and much
good ore has been piled on the dump
for future reference, work on the
copper claim was pushed with the
result that all expenses have been
met and a bank account formed be-
sides. The raise in the price of stock
will not benefit the treasury of the
company, as no stock is offered for
sale 120 burros are now engaged in
packing copper ore to the cars at
Morenci and the output will average
about II tons per day. In addition to
the burros a good deal of ore is being
hauled by wagon. A large tonnage
of good manganese copper ore is in
sight and the management has de-
cided to sink several hundred feet.
The success of the Gold Belt is due
much to the manner in which it has
been managed. In the first place,
they are all practical men, and in
the second place they are all hustlers.

CUMBERLAND-ELY WILL GO BACK.


There is no doubt number of Clifton
people interested in the Cumberland
Ely mining stock, which has decreased
somewhat in value during the past
two months. But from present indi-
cations it seems. that recent -Sw
strikes af}arge bodies of low grade
ore~will pull it back to its former
position.
The following letter was written to
Jesse YOakum, and will be of inter-
est to other stockholders:
"There has been called TO attention
various reports of the workings of
this property aud one of the princi-
pal ore bodies, namely, The Veteran,
has been showing up remarkably
we'll. 1t was reported that the cross
cut on the Veteran ore body is now
375 feet wide and the face is still in
ore. The main drift is over $50 feet
long, all in ore. This practically
gives over 100000 tons of ore block
ed out which will average 1928 per
cent. and should mine 81 per cent.
Also an important ore body has been
struck in the Wedge claim averaging
over per cent. copper.

Ambrose Burke, who has resided in

into town this week to attend to some
mining business with the Arizona
Amalgamated, to which company he
and his partners bonded a group of
claims. He came in for the purpose
of extending time for payment. He
reports his camp looking well and
says that something will be doing in
a very short time. Ambrose is a
slayer when he takes. hold of a
proposition, and will no doubt stay
with his present property until he
can sell out at good figure.
