Good Roads for Graham County.

There has been more good road
work done in Graham county during
the past two years than ever before
In the same length of time. The
board OF supervisors seem to have
adopted the idea of doing substantial
instead OF temporary work. During
the past year or more Superintendent
Lines and Overseer Whipple have
made an excellent showing in the
way OF Improvement of county roads
in Clifton, as we'll as the surrounding
territory in district five. The streets
OF Clifton are now in better shape
than they have been for some time
and 1t Is to be hoped that they will
be kept that way.
A piece of work of much benefit to
the farmers in the valley is the
changing of the grade at the upper
end of Wards canyon. where it was
impossible to haul up a load and
dangerous to come down with one
This grade has been reduced from
sixteen to about eight per cent, and
the new road is built to stay. In ad-
ditiou to this work there is almost d
half mile of new road farther out
which has also cut the grade. This
work totals distance of about a mile
and was done at such small expense
as to encourage the county in build
ing more.
There is now a proposition before
the board for the building of a new
road to Guthrie, connecting with the
toll road about four or five miles
above Coronado. 1t is reported that
this road could be built over a new
route so that it would be permanent,
at small expense to the county, and
when completed it would be good for
all time to come. The proposed new
route will cut off at least five miles
and there is place at the ella river
where a wagon bridge could be built
at small expense. This work will
have to be done some day and all
new work should be done on the new
route. With the new road and the
bridge, we would have direct con-
uection with the county seat whether
the river was up or not. The build
ing of the new road would be of much
more benefit to the valley people
who market their produce in Clifton
and MOrenci than to the residents of
this end. Hence this is a matter
which the board of supervisors should
give considerable study.

MOrenci Cavalry Troop.

Captain A. M. Tuthill, of the Mo.
renci cavalry troop, informed the
ERA representative last week that he
would leave ON the 18th with his
troop for a skirmiSh and camping
trip in the mountains. First Lieu
tenant w. G. Craufurd and Second
Lieutenant Ii. S Van Gorder will &C
company the troop if they can posi-
bly, get away from their business.
The Morenci troop is now forty-twc
strong and the boys are in first-class
form. 1t is estimated that at least
thirty members of the troop will
participate in the mountain trip.
Captain Tuthill has been busy the
past three weeks arranging for the
packing of provisions for the men
and feed for the horses. 1t will be
the best trip the Morenci troop ever
took, and they will be out about two
weeks

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

A. Lafave, one of the old time
prospectors of this district, left Sat
urday last for the mining district
around King man, where he will spend
short time examining mining prop
erty.
Ben NJ Crawford left this week on
short business trip to the property
of the Crawford Gold company in
Gold Hill. Development work has
been going on in this property sew
eral years.
Ernest Fry, the we'll known pros
pector, came in for a few days OF the
past week from the Gold Hill dis
trict. Mr.. Faye is of the opinion
that his country is going to be d
wonderful gold producer some time
in the near future.
Much excitement continues in
Morenci over the recent important
strike at the New York Arizona
property. 1t is reported that the
new body of gold ore continues at
the same old width of about five feet
and a high average. Such perma-
nent ore bodies as this one will bring
the company to the front. Local
Morenci people are buying the stock
again at popular prices.
J. o. Baylor, secretary and treas
urer of the Cole Belt company, lett
l.,
connected with the company. The
company has made arrangements for
the placing of a considerable amount
of treasury stock and it is likely that
enough money will be raised during
the next few months to place the
Gold Belt on its feet again Time
will prove that the property of this
company is among the best in this
district.
THE trial between the Chase creek
food sufferers and the d. G. company
has been grinding more than week
and each day, according 70 reports,
places the Clifton people closer to
victory. That the breaking of the
dam was the cause of the damage
there is little doubt and it is unfOr
tunate for both sides that the differ
enCe could not be settled out of court.
This is the first time in the history of
Graham county that individuals have
made d determined fight against cor
porations and they say that they are
going to fight it TO a finish. The
facts in the case favor the plaintiffs
and the defendants are finding it diff
ficult to prove that they are not re-
spOnsible for the damage. There is
friendly feeling between the parties
on both sides and it is hoped that the
jury, in whose hands the case is
placed, will administer Justice. The
progress of the case has caused var
ious comments, but all that the Chase
creek people want is d just COmpen-
sation for the damage they have su =
tanned, and they are going to stand
for what they believe to be a fair
claim until the last court is appealed
to. In some portions of the trial, the
examination of witnesses caused hot
discussion James Fielder. attorney
for plaintiffs, has succeeded in max
| ing a good case, even though he is
pitted against four of the best law
yers in Arizona. The close of this
week should bring the trial to an end,
but it is possible that it will not be
I completed until the middle of next

Olaf Halvorson, principal of the
Clifton high school, returned home
last week from an extended stay in
Chicago, where he spent his time in
study. Mr.. Halyorson has been in
Clifton ever since the high school
was started and has made an excel
lent record. AS a teacher he has few
equals and his pupils are always in
terested in his work. He is well as
sisted by Miss Georgia Holmsley, who
also returned last week to take up
her regular duties.

1t has been remarked by a number
of people that the west end of the
county has more votes than the east
end. This is a mistake as this end of
the county easily has a majority, and
if all the citizens would register we
would have many more. 1t is COM
mon occurrence for a registration
officer to run up against citizens who
do not take enough interest in
notifies to register.

THE name of Dick Franz has been
mentioned during the past week in
connection with the supervisors
office. Mr.. Franz is an old time re-
publican and is a thorough business
man. He is beyond doubt the right
man for the place and if his name
comes before the convention he will
have a good following.

MOrenci Red Men Have a POw-WOw.

Apache Tribe of Red Men, the
strongest fraternal organization in
MOrenci, had a pow-wow last
Friday evening, at which a large
number of chiefs were present. The
entertainment consisted of smoker
and refreshments and a number of
the leading chiefs made speeches I'M
der the head of good of the order.
The tribe is in good working order
and before the smoker, performed
work in the three degrees. Several
of the chiefs from Clifton attended
and enjoyed the hospitality of the
Morenci members. AS entertainers
the Red Men have established quite
reputation in Morenci.
Apache Tribe will give a public
masquerade ball in Morenci in the
near future, the leading feature of
which will be the chiefs and about
twenty squaws in uniform, followed
by a big dance for all present.

WITH THE BRAND or CAIN.

A French scientist has made re-
markable proposal in regard to the
punishment of murderers in France.
He is of opinion that neither
guillotining nor life Imprisonment
is an adequate or suitable punish
mcnt for murder The guilIotine,
he points out, inficts absolutely no
suffering on the criminal, who is
probably man who has passed his
life in inhicting suffering on others.
As to life Imprisonment, it entails
a heavy expense to the country and
generally reduces the prisoner to in
sanity.
He suggests, therefore, that such
criminals shall be branded on the
face with a redhot iron and then
released. The branding, he thinks,
should be done in public, the letter
M" signifying meurtrier, the
French word for murderer, being
stamped as an ineradicahle mark on
the forehead of the criminal, He
would thus bear about to the end of
his days the mark of his crime and
be q constant warning to his kind,

A rams horn that was imbedded
in tree 1873 years ago is curiosity
that Jason Elder, a forest ranger
living at Paisley, Ore, has discov-
cred. While rambling in the woods
in 1888 Elder came across a yellow
pine tree in the base of which was
imbedded the horn of mountain
sheep. He did not then have time
to make thorough investigation,
but since he became a forest ranger
he had occasion to go to cut down
the tree. He took a section of the
trunk containing the horn to Lake
view. The horn was little to one
side Of the center of the tree. It
was not curled as are the horns of
mountain sheep nowadays, but was
almost straight, Counting the rings
of growth, the tree was shown to be
213 years old. Outside of the horn
were 1873 rings, indicating the num-
ber of years that had elapsed since
the mountain sheep was caught and
held fast by the yellow pine. The
horn was soaked with pitch. 1t is
ten inches in diameter at the base
and thirty inches long.
