". 0. v. LODGE Instituted.

w. L. Morrow, organizer for the
w. o. W., who spent the past two
weeks in this camp in the interests
of the order, succeeded in instituting
local lodge with a charter member
ship of fifty-two. Nearly all of the
new members were at the instituting
ceremonies last Monday evening, at
which time the following officer
were elected:
]. L. Dunlap, council commander;
VIM. Nelson, clerk; E. D. Wilson,
past council commander; S. F. Await,
advisor lieutenant; G. r. Short,
banker; Paul Loring, escort; N. E.
Larson, sentry; C: w. Davis, watch
man; ]. Backstein, NJ. H. Kane, J. A.
Billingsley, managers; J. B. Arm
brust, captain of degree team.
The membership is composed of
some of the best people of Clifton
and the future of the lodge is as
sured. The charter will be held open
until next week for the purpose of
giving those who desire to join a
chance TO come in as charter men,
Der. The ladies circle has also been
organized and will be instituted to-
morrow evening with an extensive
membership. The officers will be
elected and on next Monday evening
joint installation of officers will take
place at the Casino hall, to which the
public is invited. After installation
the hall will be cleared for dancing.
On account of the extra expense a
fee of fifty cents will be charged
the gentlemen for dancing.
1t is reported that the installation
ceremonies of the Woodmen are
beautiful and the managers of the
lodge extend a cordial invitation to
the public to be present. The name
of the lodge will be Mesquite w. o.
w. of Clifton.
Arrangements have been made to
hold regular meetings in the Casino
hall and the night will be decided
upon in the near future. There are
about thirty old WOodmen in Clifton,
a number of whom intend to put in
tier membership with Clifton. 1t is
estimated that the local lodge will
start with fully 100 members.

Duncan Wants Odd Fellows Home

The citizens and business men of
Duncan are making a hustle tor the
Odd Fellows home, the location of
which is to be decided upon at the
next meeting of the grand lodge.
which convenes at Phoenix the latter
part of this month. Duncan, with its
magnificent climate, beautiful shade
trees, unexcelled water and produc-
tive soil, is beyond doubt the most
desirable location in the territory
for such an institution. If located at
Duncan it could soon be made self
supporting and would be just the
plate for the old lodge members to
spend their last days.
The following is a partial list of
what had been subscribed no to last
week and it is rumored thatsother
subscribers have been added since:

The TdiIines Case.

A rather unusual proceeding took
place in the tailings case which re-
Gently came up before the supreme
court at Phoenix, in which the COM
panies applied for an extension. The
following report is taken from the
Republican.
In the afternoon the so-called
''tailings" case was before the court
for an extension of the time within
which an appeal might be perfected.
The application was presented by At
torney Walter Bennett. In this case
the farmers of the upper CHA valley
had brought action against the Ari-
IONA Copper company and other COM
panies to prevent them from dump
ing their tailings into the streams
tributary to the ella whence the
farmers draw their irrigation water.
Judge Nave before whom the case
was tried granted an injunction
against the mining companies and
made the decree effective on May l
! in order to give the defendants time
to perfect their appeal and secure a
hearing before the supreme court.
1t was by a curious circumstance
that they were prevented from doing
so. Near the close of the proceed
ings of the lower court, the court re-
porter fell in a faintiug fit from
which he was restored with great
difficulty. The fit was followed by a
spell of dizziness and when the re-
porter had recovered he was strange
| ly unable to read his notes and sc
could not make up a transcript. He
wrote Mr.. Bennett saying that while
he could prepare a transcrict which
would be correct he could not make
it from his notes. The extension OF
time asked for by Mr.. Bennett was
! granted

Base Ball in Clifton.

The Clifton base ball team was not
able to accommodate the ella Valley
team last Sunday as was announced
in the ERA :ast week because the
locals lost their pitcher and were not
in condition to play a match game.
The Clifton team seems to have
lost interest in the game, perhaps
for the reason that they have lost
several games. What the local team
needs is practice and harmony, and
the most of all, some encouragement
from the citizens who appreciate the
national game. There is only one
chance for a good team and that is
for everybody to pull together.
If we can't have a team under the
auspices of the Eagles, why not re-
organize under the head of Clifton.
Morenci is soon to have a ball ground
and then will be in position to play
better bail. Clifton must have a
team to compete with them. Four
new men is all that is needed to mix
things with the Hill City.
The copper era., 1908-04-09

THE business men and citizens of
Clifton should by all means forward
the organization of a commercial
club or chamber OF commerce. Every
town and city of any consequence
has similar organization, resulting
in untold benefit to the town in gen.
eral. This is good country and it
is known fact that very few people
outside of Arizona ever heard any
thing about Clifton. Advertising is
a wonderful thing and the organiza-
tion of a club would result in the cir
culation of literature that would make
known the wonderful resources of the
Clifton-Morenci mining district.
With just one-third the amount of
advertising this district would be so
far ahead of Nevada that Nevada
would not be on the map. There are
hundreds of mining propositions in
the Clifton orenci district that
would be bonanzas if they were
located in Nevada. 1t is not right
that we should sleep all the time and
wait for prosperity to force itself up
on US. Let us help it along by organ
izing and pulling together. IT we
don't help ourselves it is certain that
outsiders are not going to do it for us.
Every business man and citizen is in
terested in this proposition as more
producing mines means more people
and more people means more bust
ness-the combina tion means more
money and a better town.

Jesse Bryan and family spent Sun
day in Clifton visiting with relatives
and friends.
c. E. Mills was an out going pas
senge- Monday morning. He expects

have them in a few days.
Judge Address and G. H. Thomp-
son left for Solonouville Saturday
morning on legal business. They ex-
pect to be away for week.
The base ball boys are to give a
ball on Friday evening the 10th.
They are making extensive prepara-
tions and all who attend are assured
of having a good time.
The park in front of the D. G. car
penter shop was seeded down this
week and in the near future when
any one desires to go picnicing they
need not leave Morenci.
Mrs. VIM. Richards returned to
camp last week from visit at Den
yer. She had a delightful stay in
Colorado but like all the rest she was
glad to get back to Hill City.
The show given by the troupe from
Clifton on Saturday evening was
good, in fact parts of it would have
done credit to professionals. Prof.
Prettyman and troupe are to be con-
graduated on their work.
Mrs. w. H. Moon arrived from Eng
land last Saturday to join her hus-
band, who has a position as engineer
for the A. G. Co. She had pleasant
voyage and is very favorably i'm
pressed with her new home in Amer
lea.
DIR. Bell, who has been practicing
dentistry here for the past two
months, left Saturday for his home
in Stafford. The doctor is a very

his short stay here made a host of
friends who we're sorry to see him go.
Word has been received that T. E.
Caldwell expects to return after
viewing the naval parade. Tom left
about four months ago expecting to
make California his home, but he
found that state could not compare
with Arizona so he is coming back.
At meeting of the school board
Monday evening it was decided to
retain almost all the present teach
ers and to add two new ones to the
force, so that Morenci will have one
of the most up-to-date schools in the
country for the coming term.
Permission has been granted by
the two companies to fix up base
ball ground on the old Stag dump.
The dump will be cleared of old iron
and about two inches of tailings
spread over to even it up, d high
board fence will be built around it,
4 grand stand erected and then Mo-
renci will be ready for all corners in
both base ball and cricket.
J George Boomer, the globe trotter.
arrived in Mnrenci once more last
week. His last jaunt was TO Panama
where he expected to work on the
big ditch, but George says that the
hard times effected Uncle Sam as

were laying men off down there as

The New England and Clifton cop
per company is taking out and ship
ping considerable amount of copper
ore from the Antietam and Copper
King mines.
C. o. Billingsley, B. B. Adams and
George Fraser, who are interested in
the Amargosa Mining company,
which property is located in Mexico,
returned Saturday night from short
business trip to Ell Paso, where they
perfected the organization of the
company as required by the Mexican
mining laws. They are all very en-
thusiastic over the future of the
company and are satisfied that they
have one of the biggest mining
propositions in existence. For the
amount of work done they have OBJ
tanned wonderful results and it is the
opinion of mining men who have seen
it that is is a certain winner.
The monthly output of the Shannon
Copper company reached the excel
lent total of 875 tons of Bessemer
copper for March, being a slight in
crease over the previous month. An
accident occurred to one of the con-
centrator engines last week, but the
management of the company soon
had it in running order with but
slight delay. One shift has been laid
off in the concentration department
on account of the fact that the COM
pany is now receiving a larger ton
mage of smelling ore. Ore shipments
from the mines are greater than ever
before and there are more men work
ing at the mines. The Shannon is
one of the few companies that has
increased operations since the panic.
Archie Morrison, superintendent of
the concentrating department of the
Arizona Copper company, who has re-
sided in Clifton ever since the COM
pany commenced operating, left this
morning for London and other points.
He was called to London to investi-
gate mining proposition in one of
the foreign countries and may be
secured to superintend the constru-
tion of a large concentrating plant.
If he decides to take the position he
will be absent several months. He
was accompanied by his wife. Archie
is one of the best concentration men
in the country and his foreign friends
could do no better than secure his
services for the construction of their
plant. The vacancy caused by his
absence will be filed by Billy Berry,
who has been shift boss at the Cliff.

A tabulated statement of the
financial institutions of the territory
issued by the auditor, shows that the
ella Valley Bank & Trust company,
of Clifton, Morenci, Globe and Solo
knoxville, stands fifth in amount of
cash on hand and tenth in size. This
is not at all bad showing when it is
considered that there are forty-two
banks and six building and loan in
situations in the territory. The fact
that this showing is made after one
of the greatest panics in the history
of the United States is an illustra-
ton of the strength of the local in
stitution. Clifton was extremely
fortunate in the recent panic as it
was represented by two OF the best
conducted banks in the territory.
