EScaiara Jumps From Train and Makes
 Escape.

Antonio Esca iada, the Mexico who was convicted for resisting an officer at Metcalf several months ago, and who beat up the officer pretty bad, made his escape last week from the train as he was being taken to the territorial prison at Yuma. He was sentenced to four years. He was chaIned to another convict on the train, with a deputy sitting in front and back of him. Esca jada was sit ting in the seat with his coat thrown over his knees. It is supposed that he raised his knees under cover of the coat and with the use of a three cornered file released his hands dur ing the motion of the cars. He lid d quick job as it was only a few hours until he made his escape. The train stopped at the switch at Gil Bend and almost instantly started again. At this stage of the game the pris- oner made flying bolt through the window and before the train could be stopped disappeared in the dark ness. The deputies turned their other prisoners over to other officers and from the next station started to chase the fugitive. They struck his trail and followed him for two days but never did get in sight ot him. Graham county officers know the prisoner we'll and the sheriff will continue the search and if possible capture him.
 A number of years ago d prisoner from this county made the same kind of an escape and jumped through the window almost at the Same point. He also escap ped under cover of dark ness and was never caug Int.

He was accompanied by his wife. Mir. Cam erOn was met at the depot by d large delegation of Clifton people and the brass band, many of whom carried torches and cheered as the procession proceeded through the important streets.

Dermont, of Metcalf, and several other re- pub jeans, after which the hall was cleared and everybody joined in the big dance which followed.

ONE of the greatest necessities of any town the size of Clifton is incor- poration. This proposition has many times been discussed in Clifton, but it seems that there is less opposition now than at any oCher time. Some of-our citizens are not in favor of the measure, but there are many others who favor 1t. The position of the Arizona Copper company in this mat ter has always been a source of con siderable comment, but it is reported that this matter will receive the directors attention in the near future. It is rumored now that sev- eral of the directors who are at pres. ent in Clifton, realize the necessity of incorporation. There are many advantages in favor of incorporation. Our streets will be kept clean: our premises will be kept in good sanitary condition: individuals will have no kick about the condition of their neighbors yard; it will cost those who now keep their premises clean less money: dwellings will not be permit ted to be built less than twenty-five feet apart, thus saving high insurance rates: we will have better fire pro- lection; and in fact many other req sons too numerous to mention. The verdict lies with the Arizona Copper company and when its position is known on the matter. we will know Mh1t tO LO.

IT Is amusing to hear some of the democratic newspapers howl over the defeat of their old standard bearer, Mark Smith, and in their rawlings they are abusing Ralph Cameron to d and that is if Ralph Cameron was smooth enough to defeat man like Mark Smith he certainly will make Arizona a good representative in con- gress. It is all over now and the majority of the voters in Arizona wanted Ralph Cameron and what is the use of abusing him just because he defea ted a man whose friends thought invincible.

Now that election is over and we are to have at least four years more of prosperity, let's pull together and boost the Clifton-Morenci district. We have the mining resources here to become one of the biggest camps in the territory. All that is needed is the proper boosting to let investors know that we have the goods. And when an investor comes to this dis trict to look at mining claims, let each claim holder boost for his neigh bor instead of trying to make the sale himself. This system will mean a great deal more to all concerned as once this district gets started there will be no stopping it.

A Welcome El6a6ement.

It is d great pleasure to announce to the theater-goers of this city that Manager Prettyman has booked Fred Raymond's famous comedy "The Missouri Girl" which created such favorable comment last season.

THE Solomonville Bulletin came forth last week praising the demo- cratic candidates for the manner in which they ran. It is a fact that the republicans failed to elect more than one man, but it is also a fact that few of the democratic candidates re- ceived old time majorities. If the republicans continue to gain in the next two years like they have in the past two there will be very little chance for democratic candidate.

In the precinct elf ction at Met calf last week Robert l.. Campbell was reelected to the ffice of justice of the peace anl Geo. Burkner was also reelected constable. Both have filled these positions at that plac e several terms and their services must surely be satisfactory according O the vote. Uncle Bob was running so fast on election day that he got started towards the Eagle country and has not been seen since. His friends predict that he will return this week from his hunting trip.

JUST a few days after the election the ERA found out that it did not give satisfaction to the republican party of Graham county.

There is no use to dis cuss the matter as readers of the ERA well know the course taken dur inn the mast Campai0n.

Now that election is over and the rule, there is no further reason for the crying of hard times. Already eastern factories and railroads have added more men to their forces and in many instances wages are a shade better. The wave has struck Arizona in but few places, but owing to the fact that copper has already shown d slight increase, we are going to be all right within the next few months. Nothing would prove better for Ari- zona than an increase in copper and statehood.

John MOlder was down last week from Morenci on business connected with the New YOrk-Arizona gold and copper company. He reports that the company is going ahead with development work and recent develop ments indicate that the property is going to make good. The company has recently disposed of a learge block of stock to local people who have sincere confidence in the property. They have a large amount of milling ore developed, which with small gold mill would pay. The object of the management of the company is to develop plenty ore before building a mill. People who have visited the property recently are of the opinion that the New York-Arizona is in bet ter shape at the present date than any time since it started.

The Southwestern Development and Improvement company, which is now under the management of Dick Franz, is doing a considerable amount of development work at the present date.

The property of the company is located in what will be one of the leading sections of the Clifton Morenci dis trict. There are many valuable min ing claims in that section, some of which have already produced returns from small but rich leads.

The Standard Copper mines are among the regular producers of this district. This property is one of the oldest small companies of the Cliff n-Morenci district and from the very start has been on a self-support- ing basis. Many thousands of dol lars have been expended on develop ment work on the property and much money has been realized from ship ment of ore. Nearly all of the claims being worked by the old Standard and Standard Consolidated are looking we'll and with a higher copper market will certainly come to the front within few years.
