Suits to be Filed.

The flood sufferers of Clifton closed final arrangements on Tuesday last with James Fielder, of Deming, for She bringing of suits against the Detroit Copper Mining company ot Morenci. The total amount of the claims filed with MT. Fielder will aggregate about Sl5O,OOO. It is all legged that this loss was caused by the breaking of the dam of the D. c, comphay, which impounded a large amount of tailings and water which swelled the flood already on in the creek several feet. it is also alleged that the dam was not properly con structed to withstand the pressure of flood, being built without rock, cement or lumber. The dam was constructed entirely of tailings,- it is alleged, end when they become thoroughly wet they gave away and precipitated in the creek and upon the town several hundred thousand tons of tailings, and also a large volume of water and shines held above the town.
 There is no doubt but that the suit will be fought by the company, who claim that the addition of the tailings and water which was given d free flow by the breaking of their dam was not the main cause of the loss. The company, so it is alleged; will maintain that the breaking of the dam only raised the waters of the creek about ten inches.
 It will be one of the most interest ing suits ever filed in the territory.
 MT. Fielder is one of the best known and most successful attorneys in New Mexico, and will be assisted in the cases by one of Arizona's brightest and best lawyers.

George Dudley, manager of the Standard Copper mines at Metcalf, was down from the mines this week, and reports that he is again working a full force of men. During the tie up on the Coronado railroad, caused by the wash-out. he was compelled to lay off all miners except those on de- velopment work. The long tunnel, which is being extended to cut the Copper Center vein at depth, is pro- gressing at the rate of two feet per day, and will probably strike the vein sometime in March. This is an important piece of work, and if ore is encour tered in the vein, the future of the mine will then be assured. Other development work is progress ing favorably, and the mine as whole is said to be looking better than at any time during the past year.

On Tuesday morning our new sheriff entered upon his duties, and has now selected all of his principal deputies. In this he cast aside party lines, which shows that his office will be run for the people, and not in the benefit of any party. It has been MT. Anderson's intention to select the best deputies available, but it is always possible that some of them may not be qualified for the business, and in such event he promises to make speedy changes where his at tention is called to the matter by responsible citizens. MT. Anderson will use his best ability and all of his energy toward making his office a model in every respect, and in this he should be encouraged by all law abiding people, ,!regardless of political utilization.

The ERA is in receipt of informa- tion that c. B. Martin, of Blue river, lost his store and stock of geueral merchandise by the flood of Decem- Der 3rd. People who have long re- sided in the country agree that these floods are not only much more ire quent than in former years, but also more destructive. There seems no doubt that climatic conditions have changed materially during the past few years. Instead of bright and open weather, the reverse is the gen. eral rule during the winter months. Many are of the opinion that the change is caused by the Salton Sea, which is becoming of immense pro- positions. If this is really the cause the people may expect a continuance of wet seasons, as there is no prOba- bility that the sea will ever be done away with. Should this supposition prove correct the Great American desert will soon be converted into an agricultural country, capable of sup porting millions of people from the soil
