Nut SpIitterS Won.

The Nut Splitters and the Rivet Tappers played a rather one-sided ball game last Sunday, which resulted in victory for the former by the score of 70. It was indeed a bur lesque game proper, with buslesque umpire who was armed with base ball bat and gave the decisions to suit his own taste. A large crowd had assembled at the ball ground and Managers Clark and Lynch were present early in the afternoon with their men, but the discovery of a dead man nearby somewhat upset the Rivet Tappers and the most ot them forgot all about the game. Dan had a good supply of Grandpa's eyewater with him and used it quite freely on his players whoe eyes were filled with sand. The wind was bad and the sand blew in clouds which cut the at tendance to the smallest of the sea- son. Dave spoke a few impressive words to the umpire-Wm. Hoff-be- fore leaving the grounds and from that time on the Rivet Tappers were not in it. Many of the players were compelled to abide by decisions which they did not at all enjoy. However, the boys took their medi- cine like sports and are ready for an- other game in the near future. As per the agreement Marshall was there with the refreshments after the game.

DUNCAN NEWS.

Thomas Williams, a veteran of this section, has returned from California He lett here some time ago to find growing town. While in Nevada he heard of Duncan's boom and came back to stay. Duncan is not on the boom, but she is coming to the front with a steady and natural growth.
 At recent meeting of the officers and stockholders of the Duncan bank a location was selected and a com mittee appointed to order the furni- ture and fixtures. A contract will be let at once for a cement block build ing, which will be rushed to compile tiOn.

A New Promotion by Clifton People.

During the past few weeks several citizens of Clifton have been per fecting arrangements for the organ iZation of ditch and canal company in the Cave Creek springs district in COchise county, known as Portal, Arizona. Seven entries have been made under the desert act, each taking up an area of 32O acres of the finest farming land in existence. A company has been organized for the purpose of putting in canal fifteen miles in length from Cave creek, which will furnish ample water for irrigatiug all the land that has been taken up. The creek is at present running about 54 900 inches of water per minute, and the company has claimed II ,OOO inches. This creek is fed principally by snow water and has never been known to run dry even during the most unfavorable seasons. At the present time the mountains are covered with snow and the creek is running full. Storage reservoirs will be constructed which will make the raising oI crops an absolute certainty. The canal company will be capitalized at S10O,OOJ and all pre- liminaries have been completed, hence the promotion of the enter prise is an assured fact.
 The Cave creek section IS an ideal location for a summer resort. The water Is fine, the mountains are COv- cred with beautiful timber and the climate cannot be eXCelled in the United States. There is also good hunting, and the elevation is 1000 feet. In order to reach the town of Portal the trip is made by stage from Rodeo, a station on the E. P. SS s. w. railroad, but it is reported there is likelihood of a railroad be- ing built to the Cave creek district where a pleasure resort will be es- tablished

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

ONE of the leading issues that will
 no doubt come up between now and
 the next election will be county seat removal or county division. The
 people residing in the eastern end of the, county are not decided upon which they prefer, although there are various expressions, some of them advocating division and others county seat removal. The, Leader of last week entered the discussion by offering Morenci as the proper place to locate the county seat, which in reality must be a joke. Morenci can not offer as favorable a location as Clifton. Should the county be di- yided or the county seat removed Duncan is the proper place for the county seat. She has good water, plenty of room, ideal shade and can be reached by rail from almost every point in the county. Especially would Duncan be d convenience to the people of Clifton, Morenci, Met calf and the upper country, from whence comes nine-tenths of the court business of the county and the most of the couuty's revenue. Is it right
 that the majority of the people should be forced to lose three days every time they go to the county seat to transact a little business, when they could make the trip in one day if the county seat was located at Duncan? The necessity of a change in the county seat was very evident at the last session of the grand jury, before which was brought a number of pauper witnesses from the eastern end of the county at the cOunty's expense. And those who were able to pay their expenses were out about $50 or $40. The same state of affairs have been going on for a number of years and the county has prospered, but it would have pros pered d great deal more had the county seat been located closer to the point where the business of the county comes from. Since this question has started the SolomonvilIe Bulletin printed an editorial in which it was claimed that the present court house was in excellent condition and was good for years to come and did not tnlnk that the county SnOulu go co the expense of building new one. Everybody knows that it is a fact that the present court house is ready to fall down. In fact it has to be pointed out to a stranger in order to be recognized as a public building
 The people of the eastern end of the county are not particular about this proposition and they would just as soon have the county divided, for in that event this end would receive some benefits from the large amount of taxes which are paid in every year. Since we pay the taxes, we are certainly entitled to some privil- eges and must have them in the near future. Take the school fund for in. stance. Several of the districts in this end are financially distressed when as a matter of fact, if the county was divided, they would have more money than they needed. The same might be said of the road fund and still many people are kicking about this end getting a little money for new roads. If the Bulletin wants to maintain the old court house let il agitate county division and keep it

THE time of year is approaching when those who can afford it will take their usual trip to the coast or sou e other pleasure resort. Long trips to California and other points are not necessary as long as we have resorts like Duncan and Garfield at our very doors. Garfield is a most desira ble health resort and some enterprising citizens should get together and put up hotel accommodations for the public. The climate there is as good as can be found anywhere and the scenery cannot be surpassed. For a lower altitude Duncan is the place and it will not cost years savings to make the trip. A number of the Clifton people are already talking about Duncan as favorable place to spend the summer. With the ladies stopping at Duncan the summer widowers' could not have such gay times as formerly. The Duncan peo- pie should get busy and cater to the Dnhlic

Armin Stack Company First-CIaSS Enter
 tdiners.

It has been long time since Cliff ton was visited by as good a company as the Armin Stock Co.,, who are fill ing an eight-nlght engagement at Prettyman's opera house. Their first show was given on last Sunday even ing and the audiences since then have all been more than well pleased. It is really a company of merit and the characters are all represented by artists in the theatrical line.
 The company is composed of six teen people, including d Grst-class orchestra. Snappy specialties be- tween acts makes it continuous per formance that is seldom seen in the southwest. If the ERA is a judge of good show, it takes pleasure in recommending the Armin company as one that delivers the goods to all who patroniZe it. If you have not seen it you have missed the theatrical treat of the season. A change of programme is made every night and for tonight they have on play en- titled "The Struggle Between Capi-
 tai and Labor, or "The Middle Glass;" This play was duplicated by | special request nine times in Bisbee and six times in Globe, and it will
 please the Clifton people. A well pleased audience is the best adver-
 tisement.

The board of supervisors this week let the contract for the new wagon road from the mouth of Limestone canyon to the lower crossing of Pat terson's addition. Nick Cole, who built large amount of the railroad grade tor the A. S N. M. a number of years ago, was the successful bidder, the contract price being S2,345. This road will connect with the new road which Bill Damron is now building and when completed, will make d first-class road between Clifton and the Potter ranch. The next step will be the construction of a wagon bridge across the river, which will come in the future. The ERA is pleased to note that the supervisors are beginning to recognize this end of the county in the way of good roads. The next step should be the new trail to Metcalf.

Potter Villa.

It was the pleasure of the ERA re- porter last week to visit the Potter Villa on the banks of the San Fran cisco river, about two mi'es above Clifton. It is one of the most beau tiful country homes in the territory and is indeed well kept place. On the ranch is located a magnificent adobe residence, entirely surrounded with flowers, shrubbery and fruit trees, comprising an area of about forty acres. On this place is raised some of the best favored fruits that ever grew on tree and vegeta bles that can not be excelled in the tropical regions. MT. Potter also grows his own strawberries. The re- cent floods have been benefit to his place as it was filled with several feet of good soil. The trees have been raised since the flood and not a single one of them was lost.
 MT. Potter has started a park on the lower end of his place which he will open to the public as soon as it IS grown up. On this park is planted variety of trees, some of them be- ing evergreen, besides many kinds of shrubbery. The squares and walks are all laid out and the drives are COW being made. It will be but a short time until the park will be far enough advanced to serve the public. In order to protect this park, MT. Potter has gone to considerable ex- pense in building a rock wall along the river hank to heighth of twenty feet. The county is now building d good wagon road as far up as the Potter place, which will make nice drive when completed.

The Arizona Copper company has just received several carloads of eight-inch pipe which will be used for piping the tailings from the concen- trator to the lower part of Hills fiat. This new system will be introduced in tailings into the river as has been the custom in past years. The pipe is now being unloaded and no doubt will be laid within a comparatively short time. It is reported the work will also be commenced on the slag wall around Hills addition in the near future.
