renci now stands. Shortly after this Robert Metcaif arrived in this dis trict and located the mines on Metcalf HIll.
 The camp grew and prospered. In those early days copper was hauled by bull teams to La Junta. 600 miles away, where the Santa Fe railroad had reached on its way west Tn 1884 the Arizona Copper company, a Scotch company with headquarters at Edinburgh, Scotland, and composed of wealthy capitalists, acquired a large number of claims in the dis trict and at once began their develop ment. Upward of 5000, 900 has been expended by them in improvements. which include large smelter, several concentrations, acid and teaching plants, the building of two railroads, one 109 miles long connecting Clifton with Lordsburg on the Southern Pa cific and the Coronado railroad of eight miles over which are transport ed the ores from their mines to their reduction plant in Clifton. The mines of this great company are scattered over a wide territory distance from their reduction works of from four to F miles. The ores mined are tram med to inciines down which they are run to the Coronado railroad, which winds its way up Chase Greek, dis tance of seven miles and forms the main artery for their whole system of mines. The ores consist of nearly every variety of copper ores and these in turn call for the different methods of treatment. The principal mines are situated on the Humboldt and Metcalf hills, and these furnish nearly all the ore treated. With the coming of the Arizona Copper company began the upbuilding of . Clifton. It is, however, in no sense a one man S camp, for there are many large and tn- fluential individual commercial houses and enterprises here that are all in a most prosperous condition.

 - Railroads.
 The construction Of the Arizona & New Mexico railway by the Arizona Copper company from Clifton to LOrdsburg and Hachita. a distance of 109 miles. has brought Clifton in close touch with the outside world, and has proven, as all railroads do, a great de- veloper of Clifton and this district. It transacts a large freight and passen- ger business. It LrayerSeS one of the most picturesque countries in the west, and is a road of scenic wonders. This same company owns and Oper- ates the Coronado road, which winds it's way up Chase Creek a distance of eight miles, piercing the heart of the mineral belt where are located the principal mines of the Arizona Copper company and others. It skirts the bases of the numerous mountain spurs. The ores exposed on the various mountain tops are easily tapped by tunnels and gravity tram roads afford cheap method of transportation be- tween the mines and the railroad over which the ores are brought to the smelters at Clifton.

that situation with the conditions to-

spite these conditions some good Sc

the vast expansion in industry and

a distrust created by constant agita-

Miss Leila was just a Little past

human skill and tender loving care
could do, was done to restore this
precious one, but God in his wisdom
saw fit to take her to a bmghter
world, and a happy home was shroud-

can't understand it, but at last when

The Coluds Will Roll By.

The following editorial from last

and we believe all who read it Will
endorse it and appreciate it:

the United States; almost one-half as
much as the total investment in al.
the railroads of the country. Never
before in the history of America
were the agricultural conditions OF
the country so sound and solid; never
before were the farmers of the south
and the west alike so nearly out OF
debt and with a total value OF farm

100000, or but a. little more than
one-third of the value this year. From

the aggregate Of s7,0O0,0OO,O0O shows
a gain Of $2,3OO,OOO,GOO as compared
with 1900, and is almost as great as

If you want to tell whether or not

the truth don't look him In the eyes,"
said a Denver bank teller to some

whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell US some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. If he's telling the truh his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence Of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect 1t. But il he's
lying he'll be confused by your &C.
