The case against Climax jim, which
attracted much attention came up
for trial. 1t will be remembered
that Climax was arrested on d charge
of obtaining and trying to pass one
of a bunch of checks that were
stolen on the road between the ella
Valley Banks at Morenci and Clifton.
The checks were drawn on the Ari-
IONA Copper company and were can
celled by the bank at Morenci. A
bunch of checks, amounting to some
thing like $4,000, were lost in the
mails and it was claimed that Jim
tried to cash one at the d. c. store
later on. The cancellation mark is
said to have been erased in such a
manner that it was difficult to detect
the smooth work. But when it came
to trial the check was lost and as the
prosecution failed to prove the guilt
of Climax he was acquitted. 1t is an
ola saying that the third time is the
charm, but Climax has been arrested
and tried about forty-seven times
and he has always succeeded in get
ting in the clear. Climax, during his
stay in the county Jail, made things
interesting for the jailor by releasing
himself from all shaCkleS that the
machinist or blacksmith could in
vest. The breaking of improved and
patented shackles was Jim's delight
while confined in Jail.

CLIFTON BETTER OFF THAN
CANANEA.

While the working men in this dis
trict have been compelled to accept
a reduction in wages on account of
copper commanding a lower price
than Is cents, it must also be remem-
bered that practically all of the cop
per mining companies have taken
similar steps. A reduction in wages,
however, is never received with good
grace, no matter what the conditions
might be, but if Cananea is taken as
an illustration, it can readily be seen
what the advantage would have been
had the company given the men a
chance to work at reduced wages.
The single man is in position to shit
the road" on short notice, but it is
a different proposition for the man
with a family. Looking at the situa-
ton from a nuetral standpoint, many
men would rather take cut for the
time being than pull up and go to
some other place where he would
probably meet similar conditions. In
Cananea people were left to look out
for themselves and none of them
could work at any price. In this dis
trict the men were given chance to
work if they wanted to, and those
who were not satisfied quit work and
left the country in search of better
location.
Should the price of copper advance
and remain at Is or 10 cents per
pound there will most likely be a
chance for raise to the old scale.
A reduction of so cents per day in the
miners pay was made at Globe and
Bisbee and other employees received
a reduction to some extent, hence
the Clifton-Morenci district is not
the only camp in which wages were
cut. At this particular time, when
living expenses are high, it is not a
pleasant situation with the working
man by any means, but unless he has
money saved up, it will be much bet
ter to work than loaf until conditions
improve.

THE Bisbee Review, which paper
recently consumed much space in
giving other mining camps the black
eye because the companies resorted
to cutting wages, is now making ex-
cuses for the Warren district, which
will also cut wages to the old scale
on November 10th. Thus it will be
necessary for the Reyiew to take the
same dose of medicine it has been
handing other mining camps. A re-
ductiOn of fifty cents per day has also
been made in Butte and Globe, hence
it will be seen that a general reduc-
tion in wages in other mining camps
has been enforced all oyer the coun-
try. The reduction in wages, COM
bined with the high prices of pro-
visions, is going to effect the working
man at both ends. These matters
must adjust themselves, hence a re-
duction is anticipated in prices of
provisions. At the present time the
company stores, as well as other
stores, are selling their goods at high
prices, still they are making much
smaller margin than a couple of
years ago when they sold at much
lower prices.

TERRITORIAL FAIR.
Notes Pertaining to Some Of the hmuSe-
mentS.

There are great many reasons
why everybody in Arizona who can do
so, should attend the territorial fair,
November 11-16, and the majority of
the people can do so if they will only
make up their minds to it and shape
their business accordingly. The rail-
roads are Offering in all cases not to
exceed a fare and a fifth for the
round trip; in most cases one fare for
the round trip and in some cases
there will be special excursions that
will be considerably cheaper.
The chief attraction will be the
fair itself. Those who have never
attended the fair, no matter how
much they know about Arizona from
reading or long residence, have but
poor conception of how big a show
this fair is going to be. No man in
terested in the livestock business,
whether horses, cattle, sheep, swine
or poultry, can appreciate what a
fine aggregation of bloode stock will
be shown, without coming to see it.
In like manner the mining man will
have a fine surprise in the mining
building. Every one of them should
see it, each haying first sent in sam
pies from his own mine. OF agricul-
ture and horticulture the same may
be said. Remember this is not a
Salt River valley, but an all-terri-
torial show. There should be fruits
and grains and flowers from every
county. 1t is certain there will be
fine displays in this line from Graham
and Yuma, and there isn't county
but has from one to d dozen fine val
legs, little and big, where things
grow. They should all be repre-
scented. Then there are the miuor
products galore, vegetables, honey,
dairy and things too numerous to
mention, to say nothing of numbering
and manufacturing interests, inven-
tions, etc. Where are all the Ari-
IONA inventors that keep breaking
into the papers? They should all be
there.
And the woman's department, fine
art paintings, fancy work, culinary
division, etc. Then the educational
department. Last year it was worth
going miles to see. This year it will
be better.
Then comes the amusements.
Horse racing i the chief and it will
not be merely for amusement, it will
he the best on earth and a score Of
h rses that are crowding them closely
travelling IN big company. Think of
! Dan Patch the fastest horse in the
world, and remember this may be I'll e
! last time he ever travels this way.

THE Bulletin still claims to haye
been correct when it stated that Cliff
ton had sixty cases of fever at one
time and that number of fatalities
occurred recently. 1t claims to have
received its information through an
official source. Likewise the ERA has
its information through a reliable
source and if the Bulletin can dig up
more than five records of death
caused by typhoid fever this year, de-
veloped in Clifton, it can take the
plum. The Bulletin also remarks
that reading the ERA would inform
one that deaths occur weekly. In
that statement the editor of the Bull
letin is correct. But who ever saw d
town of 5000 population without
deaths. The Bulletin takes it for
granted that all deaths reported are
caused by typhoid fever. If the edi-
tor of the Bulletin will take the
trouble to watch the ERA he will find
that it is generally stated if the pa
tient died with fever.

Think of all the young Arizona
horses breaking into high places.
They are worth seeing. There will
be other amusements also, an athletic
tournament, aCrobatic shows free,
Indian day festivities, the most novel
at any fair, and, to crown all, Hasa
yampa day, peculiar to Arizona and
full of contests and prizes, but best
of all a roundup of all the old
timers.
Then there is to be a baseball
tournament. Teams from several of
the largest towns in Arizona. Not
scrub teams thrown together for the
occasion, but firSt-class teams that play
league ball. If you are not fan,
don't admit it, for you ought to be.
But that is not all. That is only a
brief index to the fair which it will
take a week to see and see right.
Besides that there is to be business
and pleasure down town. If you be-
long to any thing, church, Sunday
School, lodge, business associat ton,
or what not, it is likely there will be
something to interest you in d bust
ness or social way. Here are some of
the events that will take place:
Convention of all Arizona Post
masters.
Territorial Sunday School Conven-
ton.
Territorial Teachers Association.
Convention Undertakers' Assoc1a-
ton.
Convention Arizona Cattlemen.
Convention of Sheepmen.
Convention Knights of Columbus.
The following lodges, and probably
others, are preparing to entertain
visitors: B. p. O. Elks, Modern
Woodman of America, Maccabees.
Then there will be other things to
amuse such as:
The Old Folks Party and Dance.
Entertainment of Ralph Wylie at
Arizona school of music, famous
violinist.
Doris Opera House.
And others that have not been an
nounced.
And if the visitor has not secured
quarters, he can find d room at once
by reporting at the Free Information
Bureau or at the Board of Trade.

SHANNON COMPANY

The Shannon Copper company,
which was the first company in this
district to increase the wage scale
when copper sold at the 25c. mark,
was looked upon as the leader in the
present situation. Current rumors
were afloat long before the manage
ment of the company announced a
cut in wages, but the cut was finally
made. All mill men and laborers
around the plant were cut from ten
to forty cents per day, higher cuts
being exceptional. The machinists
were cut one hour a day, but will re-
ceive the same rate per hour, hence
they are satisfied at present. The
stationary engineers were cut to some
extent and were not satisfied, but as
they are all union men, they are TAX
ing advantage of the ten-day notice
agreement. Many of the engineers
are old timers with the company, and
so far have always been well satisfied
with treatment extended towards
them, hence it is likely that a salts
factory adjustment will be made. The
Shannon carpenters were not satisfied
and the most of them are holding out
for the old scale. AS the carpenter
force was cut off considerably of late
not many men are now interested in
that department. The Shannon smell
ter was down several hours last week
for repairs, but is now operating at
it's usual capacity. No material diff
ference is likely to occur in the out
put of the Shannon. Ore shipments,
as has been noticed by the number of
cars going to the plant, haye been
considerably increased from the Shan;
non mines the past week, hence there
must be good force of men at work.
The miners of the company were also
cut to the prevailing scale.

THE closing of the Greene-Cananea
mining camp will cast a gloom over
Cananea for years. Many Ameri-
cans with their families, have located
in Cananea and built their little
homes, which they must vacate and
leave behind. The company, in
closing its plant, has made no an
nouncement when it proposes to re-
sumo operations, hence the people
cannot wait. In leaving Cananea,
the people are compelled to leave
household furniture and effects, as in
many instance they do not know
where they will locate. Fully 5000
men have been thrown out of en-
ployment and among that number
are some of the best American citi-
zens in existence. Should the
Greene-Cananea company resume
operations it will be difficult to
secure the same class of citizens as
she has just parted with. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Greene-Cananea
company must have a copper market
of 10 cents before it can commence
to swap dollars.

D. c. COMPANY.

A similar reduction in wages was
made by the D G. company, although
it is reported that in some instances
men were cut sufficiently to make
them believe that they were needed
no longer. The smelter was closed
down for few days and some neces-
sary repair work was done. At last
reports everything was moving, al
though many men received their
time. In some instances the men
quit and in other instances they were
asked to quit.

NEW WAGE SCALE.
All Companies in the District Reduce
WAGES.

All of the mining companies in the
Clifton Morenci district adopted
new wage scale on November 1st.
MaChinists, boilermakers and black
smiths have not yet been generally in
Guided in the reduction of wages. The
miners and mill men, together with sta
tionary engineers, have been effected
by the new scale, the cut ranging from
ten to forty cents per day, and in
some few instances larger cuts
were made. AS general rule
the cut was accepted. The most
of the company carpenters, who
were reduced about thirty-two cents
per day, have quit work. Some of
them are still in Clifton, but several
have left town. Employees in all
all departments of the different COM
panies, who were not satisfied
called for their time and many of
them have taken trips to other fields.
However, with the exception of the
carpenter departments, the works
are being operated at their usual ca
pacity.
A. C. COMPANY
In the mines of the A. G.. company
the miners were cut twenty-five cents
per day. Concentration No. 5, located
at Morenci, has been closed by the
company, The reason given for the
closing of the concentration is on
account of the prevailing low price of
copper, combined with the low grade
of ore treated in the mill, and heavy
expense incurred in impounding tail
ings. This lets out over 300 men
employed in the mines and reduction
works. No. 6 concentration, Long
fellow, is operating at full capacity.
The cut was from twenty-five to
fifty cents. In Clifton the cut
around the reduction works was prac-
tically the same. Stationary engi-
neers were cut about twenty-five
cents per day, except in several in
stances, where it was a little more.
Taken altogether the general range
was from twenty to fifty cents, there
being few instances where it was
more. The machinists and boiler
maker departments are negotiating
with officials of the company,
and adjustment is now pending.
The carpenters of the A. c..
we're given notice that a cut of
thirty-two cents per day would be
l. <~f
the men, who drew their time.
Various rumOrs are ahoat, but
the most of them are unreliable, both
as to the company and the men who
quit. The reduction works, includ-
ing the smelter, are operating at full
capacity, and as the wage reduction
is general no trouble is anticipated.

OTHER COMPANIES

No particular word has been re-
ceived from the New England, Stan
dard and other companies operating
in the district, but it is natural to
suppose that they will eventually
adopt the same scale of wages as the
larger companies. However, it seems
to be the general rule that the small
er concerns pay little better wages
in order to get the pick of the men.
The district in general is in good
shape in a mining way.
