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

In August the new Ely camp fig
ured in the production of copper for
the first time, with an output of
1,371 ,236 pounds.
The Greene-Cananea company pro-
duced 100000 pounds of copper in
August and the total increase of
Arizona for the same month was over
100000 pounds, placing us ahead of
Montana.
The Old Dominion output for
August was 3,5OO,OOO pounds, an in
crease of 2I4,OOO pounds over the
same month of last year.
J. T. Alexander, who is working a
copper prospect a short distance he
low Morenci, was in Clifton the lat
ter part of last week. His home is
in Kansas and he has been interested
in this district for some time, having
recently arrived to do a considerable
amount of development work. At
countered a vein of ore from which
assays have been taken that will
average better than 8 per cent. cop
per. Work done so far has brought
most encouraging results and Mr..
Alexander is confident that he has
good property.
The New York-Arizona gold and
copper company, which is one of the
in no
Morenci district, is now getting in
shape to make big showing. New
officers have recently been elected
and they have put new life into the
enterprise. They are: A. L. Work,
PRESIDENT; r. E. Moore and j. F.
Cleaveland, vice-presidents; G. E.
Tyler, secretary and treasurer; John
Molder, manager; James Wester,
superintendent and chemist. Recent
new strikes in the Lillian tunnel at a
depth of over 200 feet give the COM
pany some valuable resources. The
grade of the ore remains excellent
as the tunnel advances and the man
agement is of the opinion that the
question of ore supply is practically
settled. Mr.. Work visited Clifton
this week in the interests of the
company and while here informed
the ERA that the company had issued
forty new contracts for stock in the
past ten days. The contracts aver
age at least 1000 shares each. This
stock has all been purchased by Mo-
renci people, which is plain evidence
of what home people think of the
New York-Arizona property. The
directors have decided that what the
company needs is a mill, as enough
ore is now in sight to return a con-
siderable amount of money into the
treasury. The company is well
situated financially to carry on de-
velopment work for some time, but
what they want is to raise capital
for the building of a gold mill. The
management of the company is in
the hands of representative people
of Morenci and every dollar that is
received will be spent on the claims
| and accounted for.

GRAHAM county should be well repre-
scented at the Phoenix fourth annual
fair in November. Luther Green has
been appointed as commissioner for
this county and every farmer and min
ing company should use every effort
in supplying him with the best obtain
able exhibits. For many years the
resources Of this county have remained
buried in the hearts of only those who
reside and have interests in our midst.
Why not make an effort to tell the
outside world about them. We have
the goods to show for themselves Mr..
Green will be around within a very
short time, and if you have anything
that you would like to place on ex-
hibition address him at Solomonville.

THE latest democratic candidate
for supervisor is Hank Dowdle, of
Stafford. Hank is an old timer of
Graham county, but as Stafford is al
ready well represented by George
Olney, who is the holdover, it is not
likely that Hank has much chance
for the nomination when such men as
George Webster, Fl. G. Day and Ira
Harper are in the field.

Working For Cameron.

Lou w. Collins, of Phoenix, who is
travelling over the territory in the
interests of Ralph Cameron, republi-
can nominee for delegate to congress
from Arizona, spent last Friday in
Clifton. Mr.. Collins is strong
Cameron man and when asked what
he thought of Cameron's chances for
election, replied that the republicans
never had a better chance to elect
their man. He stated that Cameron
is beyond doubt the strongest man
Mark Smith has been up against in
many years and as he is one of those
kind who ''does things" he is certain
to be elected. The northern end of
the territory is going strong for
Cameron and judging from appear
auces things are going to be mixed
in the southern end. At Globe MIR.
Cameron was extended an old time
democratic welcome, being an I'M
usual reception for republican.
MANY prominent democrats of the
territory are Cameron men and are
reported to be giving Smith the cold
shoulder.
1t has been reported in this county
that Mr.. Collins has always been a
democrat and strong friend to
Mark Smith When asked by an ERA
reporter he stated emphatically that
he has always been d republican, but
several times was foolish enough to
vote for Mark. He left Friday after
noon for Morenci. where he also
warmed up the republi cans.

H. B. Burke, freight agent for the

past eight years, strayed off for a
short trip through the territory, re-
turning home Friday night. Shortly
after his departure it was whispered
around Clifton that he had prepared
ii coy little residence to be occupied
by bushing bride, but he must have
missed connection, as he returned
home alone. He reports a most
pleasant trip, so there may yet be a
chance for him.
