Ralph Cameron Visits Clifton.

Ralph Cameron, republican nominee
for delegate TO congress, and who is
predicted to give Mark Smith a live
ly chase, visited the Clifton Morenci
district this week. He did not make
a public speech, but saw a great
many of the citizens personally.
Ralph is an excellent mixer and
left good impressions wherever he
went. While IN Globe the citizens of
that place turned the town over to
him, which is a distinction no former
republican Candidate can. boast of.
Ralph is considered to be one of the
most substantial men in the territory
and is extensively interested in the
stock business. In the northern por-
ton Of the territory, where he is hest
known, it is predicted that he will
run like a race horse. He will pay
considerable attention to the south
ern portion and do all in his power to
make the race d lively one.

PERHAPS the largest civil case c

EERHAPS the ldISe SL CIVIL case eyer
brought before the courts of Arizona
was started last Tuesday morning be-
fore Judge Campbell at Tucson. 1t
is case in which practically all of
the leading business men of Chase
creek are heavily interested and the
verdict of the court is a matter Of
much interest not only to the plair-
tiffs, but to almost every citizen of
Clifton. The damage caused by the
flood down Chase creek when the hug
D. G. tailings dam gave way in Decem-
Der almost two years ago is as fresh
in the memory of Clifton people as if
it happened yesterday. Many of the
business men who suffered heavy
losses have been practically broke
ever since and it is nothing but right
that they should be remunerated.
The cause of the damage is undisput-
ed by every man in this district ex-
cept, of course, the d. c. company.
and the verdict of jury of twelve
men will be the source of much com
ment. How the company can prove
that it was not responsible remains
to be seen.

principal ones being the severe dam
ages sustained by~floods and the de-
crease in the price Of copper. The
company, during the present year, has
maintained an average of 100000
pounds of copper per month, but the
low price of the metal has greatly de-
creased profits: The Arizona Copper
Co.'S output in the year ended Sept.
30. 1907, was 1900 short tons. The
yield for 10 months to end July, 1908,
has been near Il, 400 tons, and with d
rate of production of about 1900 tons
per month, the outlook for the year
to Sept. %, 1908, is for some 1000
short tons (34, 900, 900 pounds):
With the selling price at s64 IS per
short ton the profit to the Arizona has
been approximately sl2 per ton; and
on the average price since Oct. l, 1907,
there should be go per ton profit,
which on a production of 1900 short
tons would mean sl70,000 profit. Rail
way income for the year can cOnser-
vatively he put at eIlO,O0O On this
basis there may be estimated a total
profit of e2So, 900 for 19O7-OS, as against
ESQ, 72O in 1867 and e524, 524 in l9O5-O6,
leaving for ordinary dividend el52, 900,
against e2S4. $50 and e39S,973
The August output of 1,644, 900
pounds of copper illustrates that the
Shannon Copper company is getting
up IN the world. This is the banner
production of the company since its
operation, and with two of its three
furnaces in constant operation during
the month of September even better
tonnage will be reported September
Both. The mines of the company
have greater ore reserves than ever
before and the management is Oper-
ating on strictly scientific basis.
In August, 1897, the Shannon pro-
duced l, 100, 900 pounds of copper: and
for the past eight months the total is
i, O2O, 900 pounds against 1914, 900 in
1907. Thus it can be seen that the
Shannon is making the most rapid ad-
vancement of any mining company in
this district.

The New York-Arizona compa ny,
which is developing valua bic g Id
claims in the district west of Mo-
renci, last week made d new strike.
which coming at this time may prove
to be the best thing that ever hap
pened. The strike consists of four
feet of good milling rock, averaging
about so to the ton, and was made
in the Lillian tunnel, which is being
driven towards the big dyke,
and is now in over 800 feet. The
strike was made in the face of the
drift and indications are that it is
widening with depth. The manage
ment of the company has always ad-
vised following the ledge and it now
err course. This strike comes at an
opportune time when eastern stock
holders a-e considering the ConStruC-
tion of Il golo mill. The company has
large amount of milling ore already
developed, but the last strike gives
promise of being the most extensive
of all and will furnish better aver

The present progressive manage
ment of the New England q Clifton
company, if successful in their plans,
will install a concentrating plant at
the Copper King mine several miles
above Clifton. The company has a
beautiful millsite on the banks OF the
Frisco river which will supply enough
water for a half dozen concentrators
double the size of the one in contem-
plation. The New England company
has expended thousands of dollars in
development work and has now
reached the stage where it must pay
more attention to the handling of its
own ores, thereby creating the saving
which usually pays the dividends to
stockholders. The ownership of
smelling and reduction plants is the
source by which mining compa nies
become independent and it is to be
hoped that the New England will be
successful in raising funds to &C
complish this end.

MINING NOTES
Pertaining to CIiftOn-MOrenci Dis.
tFiCt and Surrounding Camps.

The old time faces around the re-
duction works of the a. G. company
are now confined to Archie Morrison,
George Fraser, James Cromb, John
Grimes and very few others hold
ing minor positions.
The Southwestern development and
improvement company has not yet
resumed operations on the Polaris
property, although it Is reported that
funds Will be forthcoming in the near
future.
During the past few weeks the A.C.
company has received a number of
new patent dump ore cars for the
Coronado Railroad. The Coronado
road has been short on ore cars for
several years ard the new ones will
relieve the situation considera bly,.
They now have ample rolling stock to
enable the car repairing crew to do
their work properly.
The \ c. company has removed the
old stack on top of the mountain from
the tunnel to the new dust chamber
recently completed on top of the
mountain. The moving of the stack
was big undertaking but the task
was accomplished in few hours after
all preparations were made. The
shelter was closed down a couple of
days on account of the change and
cleaning out of the tunnel. The
smelter is now in full operation.
John Grimes, under whose super
vision the A. c. teacher has been sue
ce~sfully operated during the past
years, is enjoying d needed rest. Mr..
Grimes came to Clifton many years
ago and was the first man to make a
success of the teacher, which has al
ways been a great saving to the COM
pany in treatment of low grade ores.
The process used is a secret whic h
nobody has been able to discover, and
as Mr.. Grimes is an expert at it, he
is a most valuable man for the com
pany.
The property of the Gold Belt,
which is probably as good as any gold
proposition in this district, still re-
mains idle, but we are informed that
! the next few months will witness &C
tive operations again. The Gold
Belt has both copper and gold claims
of especially good merit and it will
only require time to prove its claims.
1t is folly to suppose that a property
with practically 100000 worth of
good gold ore blocked out, and large
bodies of low grade copper ore de-
veloped, will remain idle very long.
Such inducements will Ger ainly ap-
peal to the mining investor who is
looking for Il safe Investment. 1t
may take little time, but they have
The goods.
The Standard Copper Mines, which
control the Copper Center and San
Jose groups, continue to ship some
excellent copper and silver ore to the
D. G. smelter at Morenci and the c.
Q. at Douglas. While the company
is making regular shipments, the
management is wisely keeping ore
blocked out far enough ahead to in
sure future operation. Few small
companies in Arizona have made d:

years many of the stockholders were

Of paying dividends, but it has man

The passing of the month of Sep
TENDER should reveal the intentions
of the Coppermines Company of Ari-
IONA, which is under the promotion
Of Senator Dorsey, one of the worlds
greatest promoters. 1t is reported
that the company has raised ample
funds with which to develop its
best properties in the district. The
company owns and controls total OF
more than 100 claims which gives it
a vast territory in which to work.
On some of the claims, especially the
Celtic group, there has been a large
amount. of work done with excellent
results. The same might be said of
the Wright u Elliott group. When
it is considered that three big mines
would make a success of the company,
it would seem that they already had
it. 1t will require a large sum Of
money to accomplish the objective
point, and if the management is sue
cessful in this end. the Clifton-MO-
renci district will add another big
producer during the next five years.
The following article taken from the
London Statist is self explanatory and
informs the public that the Arizona
Copper company has been gradually
falling short in profits during the past
three years. There are seyeralreasons
why dividends have decreased, the
