COUNTY SITE CONTEST WITHDRAWN.
On the second day of the court,
Esq. X. F. Cantrell asked and was
granted the privilege of withdraw
ing without prejudice the petitions
previously filed, asking for remov-
al of the county site from Harrison.
Doubtless this generous action on
the part of our Bellefonte friends,
was prompted by d desire to save
the people of the county the expense
and turmoil incident to such con-
test, aud 70 hasten the development
of the county by the speedy settle
ment of the court house question.

mitted his report, as follows, to-
wit:
The county roads are in reason
ably fair condition, considering the
heavy rains we have had during the

open camp and start development work on>a large scale. The company has decided to go ahead with the work and will drive 1O0-foOt tunnel on one of the best silverlead claims Mir. Lafave will secure the most of his force at Fl Paso. All work done on the property in the past has pro- duced much ouragement,h hence it is probable that the Amargosa will soon be attracting attention. All mining men who have visited the property are of the opinion that is one of the biggest mining propositions in the republic of Mexico. They also report that with the expenditure of small amount of money the property can be put on a self-sustaining basis. A small block of stock is TOW offered to the public at D cents per share, and all money derived from this source will be spent on the ground. The board of directors, all of whom are responsible citizens of Clifton, an nounce that they will not dispose of any more stock than is actually re- quired to carry on the work. They are all heavy stockholders and have pooled their stock in order to protect the company.

THE Morenci Leader is getting to be rather shiftless in its opinions. One week it praises a person and the next week it reverses itself. Such has been it's record in reference to the umpire in the ball games. The sporting editor of the Leader ap- pears to be dead game sport while he is on the winning side, but when he gets licked once or twice, it is all on account of the umpire. Wonder if that is what he calls sport? His references to the conduct of the spectators is everything but polite. A canvass of the grandstand will be made before the next game and an effort made to have them root ac- cording to the taste of the Leader. In reference to the gentlemen play ing on the Clifton team the ERA de- sires to call the Leaders attention to the fact that it is most unfair when it singles out a few players. A more gentlemanly bunch of ball players cannot be secured than we have on both the present teams. If you can't be fair with the umpire, at least be so with the players.

Mrs. L. Ayers and daughter leave soon for Raton, N. NJ, where they will spend the summer. They will be joined later by Mrs. Neal and ba by, of Clifton.
 Otto Heinrichs came up for few days visit with his wife and mother last week. He is running on the Fl Paso Sl Southwestern and could get but a short lay off.
 T. F. Minor, Fred Nonamaker, R. s. McChesney and s w. WeSterman rode to Solomonville Friday return ing Monday. They report the valley looking exceptionally fine.
 Carl Sellers went with the excur- sion to Fl Paso and from there be will go to his home in central TeXas for d months vacation. Rumor says well we will not repeat it, but will wait and see.
 A. l.. Gravely took a bunch of horses to San Jose the latter part Ot the week to be put out on pasture for the summer. He was somewhat sun burned by the trip but had a pleas ant time.
 G. H. Thompson returned from Tucson Sunday evening where he at tended the democratic convent tion. He is firmly convinced that Bryan will be our next president since Ari- zona has endorsed him

 The Lambs Club of New York is to have q rival in MOrenci as the Copper Mess has resolved itself into d theatrical troupe and by way of pass time expect to put on few plays such as Hamlet and Ben Hurr and have already ordered scenery to suit. Prof. Ely will have charge of it, and will play the part of Eorrick's skull in Hamlet.
 Our base ball team and fans re- turned from El Paso Monday morning in a rather tired and sleepy cOndi tion, and while they were defeated in both games it was only a small margin in each case. In the last game it required eleven inning and then the score stood 6 to in favor of Fl Paso. Everyone had a fine time and were glad they went.
 That it never rains but what it pourS,' seems true in the case of James Purdum. who but a short while ago took his wife to Rochester. Minn :. for medical treatment and last Sat urday word was received that their eight months old baby had died there. Words are but poor things with which to convey sympathy, but many a heart goes out in sorrow to the be- reaved parents in the nOrthland, and we sincerely hope for the speedy re- covery of Mrs. Purdum.
 MOrenci was certainly quiet place Saturday as both stores were closed and several who did not go to Fl Paso took advantage of the eX- cursiou to Duncan and spent the day there.

 The output of the Arizona Copper company for the month of May was l55l tons of Bessemer copper, coming up to the usual average since the be- ginning of the new year. A similar run for June will give the A. c. com pany an excellent tonnage for the first six months. And should the company continue the good work for the balance of the year their output will reach near the 40,000,000 pound mark.
 John Molder, one of the promoters and heaviest stockholders in the New York-Arizona gold and copper com panv. visited Clifton this week on business and while here called at this office. He reports that the property is looking fine and a large force of men continue to dig away at the hid den treasure. Several new contracts have been let for sinking on the Lil- -liau, Louise, and Buzzard Shadow claims. The winze on the Lillian is now down 24O feet and it will soon be necessary to install a gasoline hoist as progress is slow under the present system. A fine grade of ore has been maintained in the winZe ard 1t is ex- pected that the continuance of this work will demonstrate the existence of d permanent ore body. MT.
