MOrenci 7, Clifton 2.

The Morenci ball tossers visited
Clifton last Sunday, and after nine
innings of clean ball playing, re-
turned home with a feather in their
hat, irdicting victory by the one
sided score of -. The locals were
not as strong as they expected to be
and the most of the scores were
caused by poor fielding and wild
throwing. Outside of a couple of
innings the game was really first
class and those who witnessed it
enjoyed themselves, even though the
home team went down in defeat.
The boys took their defeat with good
grace and squabbling was excluded,
making everything most pleasant for
spectators.
Collier did the pitching for Clifton
with credit to himself. Harmon filed
the box for Morenci the first part of
the game and before the finish Ash
ley and G'Brien tossed d few. The
game was played for the purpose of
locating the best material for the
team which will represent this dis
trict in the Albuquerque series dur
ing Labor Day celebration. If the
right selections are made the boys
ought to make things interesting for
New Mexico.

Boomerang Smith Had a-CIOse Call.

On Monday of this week, at Met
calf, Boomerang Smith came near
getting the full effects of a dirk in
the hands of a Mexican with whom
he had some words the day before.
1t seems that the Mexican had made
his talk and proceeded to tank up for
the occasion, and on Monday he
found Boom in one of the little
saloons. The Mexican was in the act
of burying Il dirk in his back when
the bartender notified him of his
danger Boom grabbed a chair and
held the Mexican at bay until others
got the Mexican under control. The
Mexican had two friends in the crowd
who remarked that the trouble was
not over and that there would be
something doing in the gun line, and
l. is reported that they left the
place. They must have been intoXi-
Gated, as they forgot about their
previous intention. In the meantime
Constable Burkner and Deputy
Sheriff Ray Thompson were notified
of the trouble and were soon on the
track. The two Mexicans attempted
to kiss a fourteen-year-old girl who
happened to come in contact with
them and after some dispute, an old
woman attempted to rescue the girl.
When she did one of the men took a
shot at her. By this time the officers
were seen and the men took shelter
in a little shack. Burkner and
Thompson surrounded the house and
they were taken into custody without
bloodshed.

THE NEW ENGLAND.

According to the last report OF
General Manager Veitch, dated
August 18th, the year ending June
30, 1907, has been one of marked pro-
gress and success for the New Eng
land and Clifton Copper company.
For the eleven months a total of
103S7.9l3 net tons of ore, giving net
smelter returns of S2l0,S57.27. July
shipments are estimated at 1570.SO0
tons, and net returns at S25, 1920,
making a total of 11,95S.713 tons,
valued at 1896, OO2.0 OF for the year end
ing July 81, 1907. OF that tonnage
II $50. 1853 tons were extracted from
the Copper King mine alone, the
balance of the ore coming from the
Antietam, Copper and Regulation
tam, Buckeye, Sharp Shooter and
other claims have been a great ad-
vantage to the company and upon
the completion of the tram road,
connecting the Antietam with the
Shannon, 30 tons daily output from
that group will be an assured fact.
The grade for the tram is now COM
pleted and ties and steel are being
laid With no further delays on &C
count of freight, the road should be
in operation in a short time. The
road is 300 feet in length, connecting
with the Wiseman tunnel of the
Shannon mine, and is especially stu
ated for cheap operating, having a
fall of 80 feet to the Shannon mine.
1t will be just about right, as the up
hill haul will be made with empty
cars. The directors of the company
adopted the plan of operating the
with surplus money derived from the
sales of ores, and as d result d most
gratifying showing has been made.
About 1876, 900 has been expended in
and it is the opinion of Mr.. Veitcl
that at least 900 tons of ore are in
sight, which on a basis of 20 cents
per pound, gives valuation of $780,
100. To this can be added probable
1re addition of 5000 tons, valued at
$1,000 About 1924, 900 was expended
for development in the Copper King
nine, with the following result: Ore
in sight--irst-class 1900 tons valued
1t S40l $4,000, first-class broken, / ,135
tons valued at $50, 720.O0. Second
class %, $50 tons valued at 1857, 10000;
total $79S,6i0; in addition can be
added a probable tonnage of IA, 200
tons valued at $40, 400. The proper
ties of the company are all looking
we'll and the manager has ordered
six-drill air plant, which will be in
stalled on the Copper King and will
greatly cheaper mining costs. The
same kind of plant will also ordered
for the Antietam in the future. Mr..
Veitch, who was engaged to stay at
the mines for a period of one year,
has decided to remain six months
longer, and during his absence, which
is occasionally, the management of
the property is turned over to AS
sistaEt Manager d. L. II. Forbes.
Edmund NJ. Bristol, vice-president of
the company, in his report expresses
himself as highly pleased with Mr..
Forbes services

Another new mining company will
be organized in this district in the
very near future for the purpose of
taking over and developing the Cop
per Plate group of mines, which are
now owned by Ambrose Burke, Paul
Crowley and others. The Copper
Plate group is located in Copper
mountain between the big Coronado
mine and the Gold Belt, the lines ad-
joining the latter company. Every
body knows that the Coronado mine
is one of the richest in this entire
district, and as the Crowley-Burke
property has evidence of being
located on the same lead as the Coro-
nado, there is every reason to be-
lieve that with proper and extensive
development work, great future is
in store for their property. The
country in which this group is located
is the best in the Clifton-Morenci dis
trict, hence the ERA does not hest
tate to say that success will crown
the efforts of the people who take
hold of the property and spend
some money on development work.
It is not yet known who the incor
porators will be, but it is .rumored
that several prominent and conserva
tive Clifton people will be connected

AMALeAMArED COMPANY.

With the entrance into this dis
trict of the Amalgamated company
several months ago, with d capital
stock of SO, 900, the people of thi
district expected to see some activity
in the camp. Such an immense CAPT
promoters displayed in bonding every
available claim, regardless of price,
caused the more conservative mining
man considerable suspicion as TO its
termination. The company started
out on a broad guage, but after Il few
months existence and failure to
secure the millions from foreign
capitalists, it soon went backward
and has continued in that path ever
since, until very few people have any
faith in the company. Payments be-
came due some time ago and an eff
fort was made for an extension of
time, which in several instances was
granted and the claim owners ara
now specializing as to the result
About 80 claims were secured by the
company, and among them were
many good PROJECTS, but as the com
pany was only guided by a small CAPT
talization of fifteen million, not much
work was done. The failure of the
Amalgamated will do this district Il
great deal of harm and it is to be
hoped that the promoters of the com.
pany viii get together and retain the
best. claims in order to make good
with the people to whom they sold
stock at $500 per share.
1t will soon be time for payment OF
much money to parties who have eX-
tended the time to September. Con
siderable money has already been
spent in payments, work, advertising
and expert services.

Rosecrans is spending his time at the

las has been erected on the Oregon
shaft and about eight men are now at
work on the property. The company
will devote considerable attention to
the copper claim, the Oregon, from
which some handsome assays have
recently been taken. Indications are
good for d good body of copper ore
with depth. Some good gold leads
haye been located on claims owned
by this company, which are near the
old Dick Marshall gold claim, from
which a considerable amount of rich
gold ore has been extracted and ship
ped, netting handsome returns. Now
that the Clifton Gold and Copper
company has started to work in earn

time when it will be in a position to
report good news from the new COM
pany.

mining claims in that district which
promise hattering results, and it will
only be a matter of d short time I'M
til a company will be organized for
the purpose of taking over the
claims and developing them into
mines. The Carlisle district is be-
yond doubt one of the best in exist
ence and though it has not attracted
much attention in past years, it is
bound to come to the front in the
future. All of the old time miners
and prospectors are a unit in opinion
as to the Carlisle district. All that
is required is the wherewith to do
development work. The Messrs.
Fraser have succeeded in getting
some outside capitalists interested in
that country, which may terminate
in the immediate development of the

MINES AND MINING.

On account of the recent decline in
the price of copper the Gold Belt
company has discontinued the ship
ment of its lower grade copper ore.
They have taken off the burro train
temporarily and at present will sort
the best ore, which they will haul
with their own wagon and teams. 1t
has been falsely rumored that the
ore body was exhausted but those who
believe such rumor can take drive
to the mines and see for themselves.
With copper around the 25-cent
mark, the Gold Belt could mix the
first and second-class ores and make
good profit, but at present prices it
will pay them to sort their ore, ship
the best and keep the second-class.
The management of the Gold Belt is
going along with development work
on the property and the new shaft
will be driven on the copper claim as
rapidly as possible. The company
was never IN better shape than at
present.
