IT REMAINS for visitors to tell us
how much Clifton has improved DUR
ing the past two years. Very fire.
quently former residents of Clifton
return to camp and it is thr ough them
that we learn the town has improved.
To the old timers residing. here the
changes take place SO slowly that
they do not realize them. Such has
been the history of Clifton for MANY
years. The camp and mining district
have continued to advance to the
front In slow but steady manner.
The copper output is always on the
increase and a large number of new
dwellings are constantly being erect
ed. During the past year about 100
new residences haYe been built on
Hills addition, not speaking of other
new residences in other portions of
the town. Shannon bill has been
settled faster than any other section
of Clifton, there being many modern
dwellings erected by the Shannon
company, besides more than 100 Next
can residences. At the past years
rate, Clifton will be a big camp in
five years. To the old timers
the increase seems small, but if they
look back five years they will fully
realize that the camp is not so dull
after all. Most branches of business
have increased considerably, only the
saloon line showing a decrease. In
the church line Clifton has made
rapid strides. FIVE years ago there
were but two churches in Clifton
Catholic and Presbyterian Now
there are six-two Catholic, Presby-
terrain, Latter Day Saints, Baptist
and Methodist, and all of them own
comfortable meeting houses except
the Methodists. We have two excel
lent school houses that would be a
credit to the larger cities of the
territory, and a tirst-ciass high school
under the supervision of excellent
teachers.

Two Ball Games Next Sunday.

Arrangements have been made for
two ball games next Sunday between
the Clifton and Morenci teams and it
is reported that these games will be
nothing like the Douglas match.
The first game will be called at 1890
with the following batteries: Mo-
renci-Ashley and Brubaker; Clifton
-Pique, Larmour aud Harrigan.
The afternoon game is booked for 3
o'clock with Harmon and Brubaker
for Morenci and Barclay and Brock
for Clifton. The new faces on the
Clifton team, Larmour and Harrigan,
hail from Kansas and bring with
them a reputation as ball players.
They have been working together for
some time and LarmOur's mighty left
wing is going to bother the Morenci
PLAYERS. In addition to these players
the Clifton team will add Mason, the
crack all-around ball player who has
been identified with the Morenci
team.
On the following Saturday and
Sunday Clifton will cross bats with
the Tucson team on the local diamond

The Clifton cricket team has made
arrangements for a series of contests
on the Los Angeles fields, which will
take place some time in August or
September. The games will be play
ed for the championship of Arizona
and California. 1t is reported that
Los Angeles has crack cricket
team, but in all probability the Cliff
ton team will clean them up, owing
to the fact that there are many old
time professional players here. Ar
rangements have been made for an
excursion train from Clifton to the
coast and the rate will be 500 or $50
for the round trip. The exact date
has not yet been arranged but will be
made public in the near future and
the tickets will be good for thirty
days.

Duncan entertained over 200 Cliff
ton people on the Fourth of July and
it is reported that they had a most
delightful time. There was a grand
barbecue and dance and good music
was on hand. 1t was the equal of the
Decoration day celebration. An in
teresting ball game was pulled off be-
tween Duncan and the second nine OF
Clifton. A purse was put up by the
business men of Duncan and the Cliff
ton boys got the money by a good
safe margin. The prize was $50,
which paid the boys expenses during
the day and also afforded them addi-
tional pleasure. Some of the boys
had an exceedingly good time and on
the return trip forgot that the win
dows in the passenger coaches were
made of glass. Several broken win
dows and badly cut hands was the
only damage done.

The Clifton Gun club is the latest
organization which is being perfected
by number of the leading citizens
of Clifton. A committee was ap
pointed to select a site for the gun
range and reported favorable on the
ground formerly used by the old rifle
club. The new club will have both a
rifle and shotgun range and several
clay bird traps will be installed. The
club will start out with a member
ship of about thirty and those who
desire to join should hand in their
names to the committee or make
their desire known. The organiza-
ton of this club will furnish much
amusement and pasttime for those
who enjoy shooting and want to pre-
pare themselves for the approaching
hunting season. The Shannon club
is in good working order aud the
chances are good tor some interest
ing contests between the two clubs
in the near future. The new club
will be organized at PosCoe's busiu ess
house on East Side next Wednesday
evening.

During the past few years the
Colquhouu addition above Clifton has
been settled mp with a large number
of Mexican houses, all of whom have
occupied their premises without the
payment of ground rent. On the
first of July notices were posted in
forming the people of that section
that they be will required to pay $3.50
per month ground rent. Very few of
the Mexican residents will register a
kick as they have had tree ground
rent for long time.

A Note From AGENT of Dawson Fuel Co.

Mr.. A. T. Thomson, Clifton. Arizona:
Dear Sir:-Our "Coal Digger" base
ball boys have just returned from
their western trip, and have spoken
so highly of their royal treatment
while at Clifton, l wish to take this
opportunity of thanking yourself and
associates for the courtesies extend
ed them. They are one and all in
love with the camp.
1 trust some time in the future we
may have the pleasure of entertain
ing your boys at Dawson.
Again thanking you for your kind
ness in the matter. L am,

During the past two weeks several
former employees of the Cananea
company have received kilograms to
return and report for work. This
looks good to stockholders of the
company, as it is now an assured fact
that the company is ready to resume
operations. The company will in all
probability be able to secure as many
of its old men as it wants, as it has
the reputation of paying good wages
and treating employees fairly.

1t is reported that several members
of the Shannon shotgun club are
making averages near the twenty
three mark out of possible twen-
ty-five clay birds. This is an excel
lent showing when it is considered
that the club has been in existence
only a short time. The new Clifton
club anticipates matches with the
Shannon club, but if the hill boys
keep up their present high average,
it is doubtful if the match shoots will
be interesting. However, there are
a number of good marksmen enrolled
in the Clifton club.
