Juan Luna, a Mexican brakeman
on the motor train at the Humboldt
mine was electrocuted. He was load
ing the cars with ore and was stand
ing high enough to come in contact
with the trolley wire. He was in

During the past few weeks a couple
of milk cows have been allowed to

no doubt would have killed a child,
who was playing in the yard.
Jesse .Yoakum, a resident of Bisbee
and one of the best hustlers in Ari
IONA, left Saturday last for his home

has many friends IN this section who
were glad to see him.

& N. NJ. was in town this week secur-
ing material and supplies prepare
tory to laying new rails along the
road. He has recently purchased a
farm near Duncan, and Mrs. Crozier

Senoritas Adriana and Margarita
Romero, sisters to Y. c. Romero,
Mexican consul to the United States,
arrived in Clifton last week to spend
the summer months. During their
stay here they will organize class
and endeavor to teach English and
Spanish and give lessons In fancy
needlework. They will be located
near Forbes residence on Chase
creek.
1t is rumored in Clifton that some
outside parties are discussing Clifton
as a location for d steam laundry.
Every other town of any size in Ari
iona supports steam laundries and
there is no reason why an institution
of that kind will not be a success in
this camp. clifton has a population
of about 5000 and Morenci has the
same, which, with Metcalf thrown in,
swells the number to extensiveIpro-
portions. There is plenty of water
obtainable from the Frisco river
above Clifton and the only difficulty
to be overcome by a laundry would
be to get it to the laundry works.
The business is here and lots of it
too, with good prices. Clifton had d
small laundry several years ago, but
it was not under experienced man
agement until a few months before
the flood, which washed the plant
away.
