 Guns.

On last Sunday morning au inter- esting rifle shoot was pulled off be- tween the long and short guns, owned by d number of the leading marks men of Clifton. The target was an eight-inch bulls eye and the distance was 150 yards, with d possible score ot fifty points.

Lancaster scored second with a total of 2l points. Each party was allowed a total of ten shots at the target and the long guns won by a total of 93 points against IL
 This was the first shoot ot the two clubs and there is apt to be some thing doing the next time. It is re- ported that the range was d little too far for the guns and it took the boys d long time to get their sights raised to the proper level. The following Is the individual records.

In fact they are in better shape now than ever before in the history of the town. There have been no Hoods to destroy any of the work and all work has been done in a most substantial manner. Drainage ditches have been established on both sides of the roads and the center raised which assures a dry road bed rain or shine. All that can be asked is that the board will continue the good work. The eastern end of the county is just be- ginning to receive recognition from the supervisors in the way of road work

WITH Taft for president and sher-

WITH Taft for president and Sher- man as his running mate, the repub- lican party is certain of success at the next national election, which takes place in November. Already many people have expressed their opinions as to who will be the next president of the United States. If the democrats nominate Bryan at Denver it will be easy to guess who will be elected, but they are probably casting such opinion by mere force of habit. Bryan was a dead one after the first defeat and he will never get there if he continues to run the balance of his life.

One of the best mining companies organized in this district is the Amargosa Mining company, in which are interested some of the best men in Clifton. A small block of stock has been put on the market and it is reported that quite number of Cliff ton people have invested at D cents per share. The company has exten- sive -gold-silver-lead holdings in the Amargosa Mountains, in Chi huahua, Mexico. They have an es- pecially good showing on one the cop per claims, which is almost certain to develop into d good mine, besides other good propositions. Work IS now being pushed on the copper claim and it will not require very much time to ascertain the magni- tude of the big copper vein at more than 100 feet. Samples of the ore can be seen at the office of Smith x Carlton. The company has clear title to all their property and have complied with the Mexican laws to the letter. It is beyond doubt one of the best mining propositions ever launched in this district, aud those
 who put their money into 1t will cer- tainly get legitimate results.
 All money raised from the sale ot the stock will be spent on the property and only enough will be sold to put the company on paying basis, which will be but a short time if present anticipations are filled just one-halt.
