Dell Potter now has a large force
of men at work changing the tiume of
the A. G. company in North Clifton.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Pot
ter agreed to build the fume through
a tunnel in order 70 get possession of
the ground on the side of the point
just above the New England ore bins.
The pipe for the hume has arrived
and is now being put in place. The
roadbed will he widened at once to
standard narrow gauge as far as the
ore bins. This change alone will save
transferring New England ores from
the bins to the cars by wagon and
means much money for the company.

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

Arthur Murphy, manager of the
Ash Peak Mines, spent few days of
last week in Clifton. Just at the
present date the company is not ship
ping extensively, but it is probable
that in the near future prices will be
high enough to permit the shipment
of d large amount of shipping ore and
at present the company has many
tons blocked out.
Frenchy L-ngernan, who is inter
ested in the silver mines below Nc
renci, was in Clifton last week on
business. The silver claims have been
closed down for some time, awaiting
d recovery in the silver market. He
reports that the Campbell brothers
are shipping a great deal of pay ore
from claims in the neighborhood of
his property and it is reported that
they are making money
Dick Chrispin and Chas. Nelson,
two of the old time residents and
prospectors of the Greenlee mining
district, were down last week for pro-
visions. They are the owners of some
valuable mineral ground up the Frisco
river, on which they have spent con-
siderable amount of money in develop
ment work. In their opinion the up
per country will come to the front
some day in the not far distant fu-
ture and then will old timers realize
that they have overlooked the rich
est part of the Clifton-Morenci dis
trict. Their claims are located in
the neighborhoOd of the property of
the Pola. is company.
Ed Lafave, who spent the past six
weeks at the property of the Amar-
gosa Mining company, situated in
Mexico. returned home last Thurs
day evening. He reports that he
lacked only short distance to strike
the 1OO-foot mark in the tunnel on
one of the leading copper claims,
but sickness forced him to quit and
return home. When he reached
Clifton he was about all in and it will
require a short time for him to recup-
crate. When asked about the pros
poets of the property, he spoke in the
highest terms of its future and it is
his opinion that the Amargosa will
be heavy producer of copper in the
not far distant future. 1t is the in
teution of the management of the
to make arrangements at
once to continue development work |
and put the company on d paying |
basis as soon as possible.

Clifton needs couple more good
smelling plants like the y. c. and
Shannon. The companies next in
line for enterprises of this kind
should be the New England, Standard
or the COppermines Company of Arl-
IONA. 1t takes several years to build
reduction works, hence the plants of
the above companies are only in
imagination. People who stay here
long enough, however, will probably
see a good many improvements in the
way of plants.

f. Harbuck, of Shreveport, La,
spent several days of last week in
Clifton looking for ball players for
next season. He attended the big
games and drew his conclusions ac-

state what bows ne spotted, but it is
reported that he made several notes.
1t is indeed unfortunate that the

The

Can be made much more endurdble these
hot days by an occasional visit to our Soda
Fountain. Cooling drinks are here. Drinks
which are heaIthful and invigorating, adding
little comforts to the days as you go along.
The cost is trif1ing-the enjoyment much.
The soda fountain habit is one quite to be
cultivated. To sit down in q cool, airy,
pleasant room and be served with delicious,
cool beverage, takes away much Of the dis
comfort of living in our hot, dry climate.
Probably no soda fountain in the Southwest
is as well equipped to serve you as well as
are we. The latch-string Is outcome in.

Dust is controlled in the fruit belts

found temporarily effective. The office

offered by the Paris congress for SCI

Prime Corn Fed Offerings
Strong, Put Undergrades In
clined to Weakness
IN THE HOG MARKET
Demand Was Principally for Better
Grades and Heavyweishts, Only
Slight Interest Being Displayed in
Light Mixed stuH-.sheep Steady,
But Little Demand Of Any Sort.

Chicago, June 25.-Cattle-Prime
corn fed cattle were strong, at yes
terday's prices Undergrades were in
clined to weakness, grassy stuff being
hard to dispose Of Shippers paid $40
for high grade steers.
The sudden turn in the trade shows
that the depression forced on the mar
ket last week was largely a bluff and
that the cattle are needed A slight
surplus gave buyers a chance to force
a decline, and, while receipts come
freely they made the most Of the har-
vest. Strictly choice steers are scarce.
There Is smaller contribution of the
grassy stuff and it is easier to make a
clearance. Outside markets light run
was reason for the improvement here.
Hogs.
Hogs were strong, at yesterdays av-
erage Demand was confined princi-
pally to the better grades and heavy
weights, but little interest being dis
played in light mixed stuff.
A speculative demand has shown
some signs of entering the market
lately, which has resulted In the mar
ket taking on ierky aspect to GER
tain degree The spectators will bid
hogs up while the packers refuse to
follow, waiting until the spectators
are tired and the market is quiet, when
the packers lower and more conserva-
tive prices take hold. Shippers have
been pretty good buyers lately. Values
continue to spread and show no i'm
mediate signs Of contraction.
Sheep.
Sheep were steady but there was but
little outside demand, local buyers also
displaying Indifference.
Good to choice spring lambs were
good sellers. On the other hand COM
mon and medium lambs were no bet
ter than steady. Buyers seem to want
the best lambs and no other kinds.
There was a pretty good showing Of
the spring lambs and the outlet was
unusually good for this time of the
year. Clipped western lambs and the
native sheep were hard to move. Heavy
sheep were not in demand. All kinds OF
ewes were hard to sell.

Suckers and Feeders.

The best grades Of light steers to
date have met with good demand,
while the medium and common brands
do not seem to be much wanted. It's
a sort of good quality market at this
time with the better goods in demand
and the poor stuff stunned. Owing to
the increased receipts of grassy steers
the prices, for that sort have been
sliding downwards. A good many have
I'D lately to sell at $3.15 to $3.50 and
dealers expect that even these prices
will be cut if the supply continues
large. Meantime price ranges are
widening
