IN ANOTHER column of this paper
will be found a communication from
Luther Green, who has been reap
pointed commissioner from Graham
county to the territorial fair which
convenes at Phoenix November 10th
to 10th. Mr.. Green is au-old time
resident of this county and is deter
mined to make a good showing from
Graham county. Few counties in
Arizona can compare with Graham
when in comes to mining, neverthe-
less it has been lacking in a proper
mineral exhibit at the fair in past
years. There are various companies
operating in this district, who, to-
gether with the proSpector, should
make an effort. to prepare samples
which they can leave at the ERA Of
flee for shipment. A card contain
ing information about the property,
or giving assays, should accompany
the exhibit. There is no reason why
the great Clifton Morenci district
should be second to none in a mineral
exhibit and besides much good will
no doubt BE- derived as an advertise
ment. Many valuable specimens are
obtainable in the district, and prop
erty owners interested in the devel-
opment of the country should make
an effort to have specimens ready for
shipment not later than October LIST.
Mr.. Green will see that the exhibit
will be placed in Il most conspicuous

Clifton Will be Cool Next Summer.

Through VIM. Somers, who has
charge of the A..C. plant, it is learn
ed that the last carload of machin-
cry for the new ice plant arrived last
week and has been unloaded. Every
thing is in readiness for the installa-
tion of the machinery, but it is not
likely that anything will be done i'm
mediately, as the present plant is
making enough ice to supply the de-
mand since the weather has cooled
off. 1t will be remembered that the
A. c. company planned to have it's
new plant in operation for last sum-
mer's trade, but after much delay it
was finally abandoned. AS a result
the camp was up against it for ice.
Now it appears that Clifton will have
an over supply next season. The A.
c. company will have its capacity
doubled, the Shannon will most likely
put in a plant and it is rumored
that private enterprise will also en-
deavor to furnish ice.
The copper era., 1907-09-12

The ERA would like to see the peo-
pie of Clifton join hands and do some
boosting for the camp. 1t is true
that very few people have intentions
of staying here very long, but on the
other hand there are many who have
lived here for years, and none of
them seem to be any worse off either.
This is one of the best countries In
existence and the only thing to con-
tend with is few hot months in the
year. In spite of the fact that peo-
pie are leaving here all the time the
general appearance of the town is
improving and the population is in
creasing proportionately. The pub
lie schools have made rapid strides
has a splendid school building with
ain excellent corps of teachers to
look after the children. South Gilt
ton district is now erecting a Sl5, 900
school building which will be COM
pleted about the first of next year,
when the pupils will be transferred
from the Santa Teresa building, now
temporarily occupied as the school
house. This school Is also equipped
with first-class teachers. In addition
to the two district schools, Clifton
has a good high school with an at
tendance of about twenty, which
number will be more than doubled
next term. 1t is also equipped with
excellent teachers.
The copper era., 1907-09-12

J. H. Kerby, who is collecting the
special school tax for district No. 80,
has sent out notices to the property
owners, many of whom were greatly
surprised at the amount of their tax
as they had given the matter very
little thought before. The tax levy
was made up from the assessment
roll of 1906, which does not include a
large. number of new improvements
recently made in the district. Had
the 1907 assessment roll been taken
the difference would have amounted
to d considerable amount in the way
of reducing the tax, and at the same
time would have fallen more equal on
the taxpayers in school district 38.
Those who investigated the matter
learned that the assessment in order
to be legal had to be made up from
the past years assessment.
1t is indeed unfortunate that the
law was not looked up before the
election, as those connected with it
naturally supposed that the levy
would be made from the 1907 assess
would have amounted to about one
half. The school law requires the
levy to be made from the assessment
roll thirty days after the election of
the special collector. Many of the
taxpayers are refusing to pay the tax
but a satisfactory adjustment will
probably be made within the next
sixty days.

MulhOllOn Instantly Killed by Car
Wheels, Neffs Legs Are Crushed.--
Doing Under Car.

In a peculiar railroad accident,
which occurred in the Old Dominion
yards, near the scale house last week
at Globe, Archie B. Mulhollon was
instantly killed and Clarence Neff
was seriously if not fatally injured.
Both were in the employ of the Old
Dominion company, working with the
force of samplers at the scale house.
Mulhollon was a single man about
twenty-nine. years of age, and had
been in the employ of the company
since last March, coming from the
Standardization of Texas. Neff is
boy about fifteen years of age and
until recently was employed as bell
boy at the Dominion Hotel.
Mulhollon and the boy were work
ing day shift and at the noon hour
had sought the shade of an ore car
standing on a siding above the scale
house, to partake of their noon
lunch. After eating both laid down
under the car to take a sleep. Null
hollon rested his head on one of the
rails. The boys feet passed the rail
on the opposite side. While in these
positions the car under which they
were resting was struck by switch
engine. The upper portion of Null
hollOn's head was crushed completely
off and both the boys legs were badly
mangled below the knees. MulhollOn
must have been instantly killed. The
boy was unconscious for several hours
after the accident. He stated that
be was doing when the car began to
moye, but did not realize his danger
until it was too late. He expressed
the belief flat Mulhollon was sound
ly sleeping and that he never real
lied what struck him.

alarm was given by the A. c. COM

seems that some old grease caught
fire and might have done some dam

WILL ASK CONSENT
TO USE CITY
SEWER
University Has New PROPOSE
ton With Reference to Use
of Dakota Sewer.

At the next meeting of the common
council the city dads will be asked
to grant to the university the privi-
lege of connecting twelve inch pipe
with the Dakota avenue sewer.
The matter was up before the coun-
Gil once before, though in a somewhat
different form. At that time the uni
versity asked for the privilege of run
ming an eighteen inch sewer to the
Dakota three foot pipe to connect at
a point near the Winship school
building. The matter was referred
by the council to City Engineer Smith,
who reported unfavorably after the
property owners of that portion of
the city had sent in petitions, stating
that the utility of the Dakota sewer
would be impaired and that It would
not be able to care for the sewage
1t should rightfully carry away.
The new proposition as outlined by
the universit yauthorities, it is un-
derstood, calls for a twelve inch sew
er, this pipe to carry only the sewage
from the university, it. being UNDER
stood in the agreement with the city,
that all surface water, etc.. be pro-
vided for In some other manner. A
separate system would probably be
installed on the campus, emptying
this surface water into the coulee.
At the last session of the state
legislature an appropriation of $4,000
for the installation of sewerage sys-
tenn at the university, was made, and
on this account President Merrifield
hopes for immediate and favorable
action from the city council so that
the work can be started as soon as
weather permits.

Through an error of the proof read
Ell, there appeared in the special ar
ticle on Grand Forks banks, published
in Tuesdays Evening Times, some
figures which on their very face ap-
peared and were ridiculous. The
figure 3" crept in and made millions
out OF thousands. The combined
capitalization OF the four public banks
is 100000. The combined deposits
amount to $2,3OO,OOO, or about eight
times the total capitalization. The de-

The error to some extent sighted
the Northern State bank in re the mat
ter of deposits, the extra figure 81 for
getting to force itself in before the cor
rect amount and to use the figurative
expressing, making the DEPOSITS in
that institution look like " a minnow

GRAND FORKS WOMAN BECOMES INSANE

Mrs. Bertha Daisy, wife of Daniel
Daisy, of Grand Forks, suddenly be-
came insane Tuesday while seated at
te dinner table in a York hotel. For
time it took three powerful men to
control the unfortunate woman, who
has been under the care of officers
since she became insane.
Advices of the woman's condition
were received in Grand Forks late
Tuesday afternoon, and last night
Deputy Odin OVERLY and Mr.. Daisy
went to York to bring the woman to
this city. Mrs. Daisy had her three
months old child with her at the time
she became insane.
Information. charging insanity, was
sworn to before Judge Hassell last
