The Clifton Floods a Blessing.

In regard to the affairs of the
Shannon Copper company the Boston
News Bureau says:
These floods may prove a blessing
in disguise, as they will force the
building of a new railroad by the
Shannon company.
A leading interest in Shannon says
that this summer the Shonnon Cop
per company will have its own rail-
road connecting its mines and smelter
and it will forever thereafter be i'm
mune from floods, which have come
with such frequent regularity during
the winters of the past few years.
This matter will soon come before the
Shannon board of directors. Leading
interests in the company will proba-
bly, build the road by subscribing to
the bonds necessary to build it, and
the Shannon company will be given
so per cent. of the stock of the rail-
road company in return for freight
contract which will enable the Shan
non company to secure much cheaper
rates than are now obtainable over
the Coronado road.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
FavOrs the Adjustment of Gambling
and Sunday Closing of Saloons.

PHONIX, Jan. 22-The biennial
message of Governor Joseph H. Kib-
hey was today read to the council and
house of representatives. Among
the important recommendations
made are the following:
The enactment of a law to pro-
hihit gambling in the territory.
The enactment of a law requiring
all saloons to be closed between the
hours of u O'Clock midnight and 5
o'clock in the morning of week days
and during all of Sundays.
The proper taxation of the great
mining corporations. The governor
does not come out for a bullion tax
law, but offers in its place the substi-
tute of taxing mines according to
the market value of the ore ex-
tracted-the value of the ore ex-
tracted each year to be taken as the
valuation of the mine for that year.
The passage of more strict laws
governing the formation of corpora
lions so as to prevent possible frauds
against investors.
The taking up of $4,000 of Ari-
zona's Indebtedness when it natures
in 1913 through levying a tax of p
cents on the 800 for the ensuing five
years.

Some Several ShOOtines.

Tuesday afternoon Louis Perrea
was shot near the Shannon trestle,
South Clifton, and dangerously
wounded by Epitacio Ochoa. The
officers were not notified until sew
eral hours after the trouble, which
gave Ochoa time to escape, but will
probably be caught later. Perrea is
at the hospital, and is in a danger
Gus condition.
A little trouble occurred at Met
calf one day this week. A Mexican
entered the home of a countryman
and shot the owner dead. The MUIR
derer then went home, where he was
arrested later.
Four young Mexicans at Morenci
had trouble over love affairs and
went out to settle it. Later one man
was found dead and another badly
wounded. The two who did the
shooting were arrested, tried and are
now at Solomonville.

THE people of Clifton and vicinity
have again awakened to the import
ance of new county, cut off from
the eastern end of old Graham, and
petitions are now being circulated
with that object in view. The ERA
has so often given reasons for the
creation of a new county that it is
again. It is sufficient to say that
the eastern end of the county is
amply able to support a county goy-
eminent, and that division would
prove a good thing for both sections.
The people of the valley below Solo
knoxville are almost unanimously in
favor of the movement, and while
they are not asking for it, they will
not fight such bill. At least three
quarters of the county business
comes from the east end of the
county, which is nearly fifty miles
from the county seat. To make
trip to the county seat is not only
hardship, but also a heavy expense,
which will be avoided by the creation
of a new county. There is nothing
in common between the two sections.
They are two distinct and separate
peoples, with different ideas and
methods. The people of the east end
are interested extensively in mining,
while those of the other side depend
principally upon agriculture for their
support. But aside from this, the
argument which appeals more direct
ly to both sides of the county, is the
fact that the two counties could be
run at less expense than one county
which is as large as some states.
Convenience is another strong argu-
ment in favor of the movement for
division

A Yuartzite correspondent of the
Yuma Sun states that the year 1907
will place Yuma county on the list of
quicksilver producers of the United
States. The Colonial Camp-better
known as the Cinnabar Camp-as
fast as Drawn and muscle can bring
things to d head, is slowly but surely
forging ahead, and will place Yuma
county among the prominent quick
silver producers. The property is
now down between 400 and 500 feet,
with drifts run every 100 feet on the
ledge, and ore enough blocked out on
the dump to satisfy the most skepti-
cal to install an up-to-date rooster
for extracting the quicksilver. And
to that end work is now being rushed
to completion. About two or three
thousand feet below the Colonial
Camp is what is known as the Dan
gerfield-Beemer property-some five
or six claims is also a quick
silver property, but instead of being
ore it is what is known as
kalomel ore.

The production of coal in New
Mexico for the calendar year, esti-
mating the December output, reach
ed a gross production of 1,973,65O
short tons, says the Santa Fe New
Mexican. The amount used in oper-
ating the mines was 1880 tons; the
net product shipped from the mines
being 1896, 400 short preceding year,
or 1916 per cent. increase of net pro-
duct shipped. The production of
coke was $4,000 short tons. The
average value of the coal at the
mines was st.5O per ton, and of coke
$3.50 per short ton.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
THE sALTON SEA.


The subject of the Salton Sea has
been threshed over in the local news
papers until it is almost a chestnut,
but it will ever remain a popular
topic of conversation.
There is no question as to the in
creased precipitation in the south
west during the past three years,
since the Salton Sea came into exist
ence. This new body of fresh water
in the heart of the desert is unqueS-
tionably the cause of this phenome-
nal rainfall. No one can deny that
there is tremendous vaporation
from this newly made body of water,
and as natural consequence it must
be reprecipitated over a vast section
of country.
These facts are selfeyident, there
fore the Salton Sea is a most power
full factor for good within a radius of
several hundred miles. If this
theory of reasoning is correct, then
the sea should be protected and
maintained, if necessary, by the goy-
eminent.
This, of course, would work great
hardship to the people of Imperial
valley who have built homes there
and reclaimed the desest, but their
loss would prove a gain to thousands
of others, for if this moisture can be
maintained from year to year the
whole southwest would soon become
an agricultural country second to
none.
Instead of asking the government
to stop the inflow of the Colorado to
the Salton basin it would be better
policy to ask congress to remunerate
the people of the Imperial valley for
their lost homes, and let the recla-
nation of the desert as undertaken
by nature proceed until the basin is
filed, and of it's own accord make
new channel into the Gulf of Cali
fornia.
Scientists claim that at least three
times in ages past this sea has
been in existence, but by some freak
of nature its supply was cut off and
the water eyaporated.
The remains of vast ruins scattered
throughout the desert bear mute but
convincing testimony that at some
previous date sections of this coun-
try contained dense population,
which confirms the theory that this
population existed and flourished
when the Salton Sea, as it is now
known, covered the low lands be-
tween the Colorado river and the
mountain ranges of California.
The creation and maintenance of
the Salton Sea is a subject which
should attract the attention and dis
cussion not only of the people and
press of Arizona, but of Southern
California as well.
If it is within the scope of nature
to reclaim this vast desert waste
surely nothing should be done by the
government to stay its progress.
The treaty between the United
States and Mexico to maintain the
Colorado river as an open waterway
to the Gulf of California should be
overlooked for few years. Let the
sea fill up and there will be new out
let made, as we'll as new empire
created, which will spring into exist
ence as if by magic.
