He Didn't Wade the River.

It is reported that prominent young man of Shannon hill last week made wager that he could wade the Frisco river when it was at it's high est early in the week. The money was put up and the young man equip ped himself with d pair of hip boots. When he arrived at the river bank he discovered that the water was higher and swifter than he thought but he was game aud made up his mind that he would try it anyway. With the assistance of d short piece of pipe he took to the water like a duck and got along very nicely until he reached the swiftest part of the current. Well, his feet went from under him and in the twinkle of an eye he was calling for the life line, which was tossed so him and he land- ed about loo feet below. It was a rather cool joke, but he has more re- spect for the power of the Frisco. The ERA was unable to learn who the young man was, as the bet was made with the understanding that all wit nesses were to keep It a secret. The information given above leaked out through a Mexican who was pass ing when the feat took place.

Gun Club Shoots,

The Shannon gun club members participated in a practice shoot last Sunday in which Manville was high with a score of twcnty-one. birds out of possible twenty-five. A number of the Clifton members also tried trap shooting, although the scores were not obtainnble. Both clubs are practicing for a match shoot between the two local clubs in the near future. The following are the records made last Sunday by the Shannon members: Manyille 2l, Walter Millere 10, Broyles P, Bliesteiu l5, Davis, Sears 15, Bartholomew Is, Bill Millert IS, Roberts 13, Wilkinson r, Campbell 9, Bond r, Williams ,.
 The ERA mentioned the possibility of pulling off a match shoot between the best shots of the two Clifton clubs and the Morenci club which would be most interesting affair f the local clubs would put up their best material. The MOrenci club has seve al high average men, who usually practice every Sunday, hence it will be necessary to go some in order to win from them. Many of the cracks who belong to the Clifton clubs have been practicing on live birds since the opening of the sea- son, which accounts for such few matches between the two clubs. After the close of the quail season trap shooting will again become popular and there will be something doing every week.

FOR the tenth time since the estab- lishment of the ERA it is our pleas ure to wish our readers and patrons A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. During the past ten years, the ERA. like many of our citizens, has met with many reverses, but it came to stay, and floods cannot make us quit. The ERA has always labored tor the upbuilding of Clifton and the entire Clifton-Morenci district and it is our hope that the New Year will be one of prosperity and happiness for the entire population of Graham county

Major Latin. editor and manager of the Duncan Post, spent last Sat urday in Clifton collecting several hundred plunks on subscription.

We know then that he will not e able to write any more stories.

EXPERIENCE has taught many peo- pie engaged in the newspaper busi- ness that it keeps a fellow busy at- tending to the affairs of his own town, but such is not the case with the editor of the Morenci Leader, who makes occasional trips to Cliff ton and upon his return home at tempts to tell the ERA how it should conduct it's business. The editor of the Leader seems to enjoy the pub licity of the faults of other news papers, but if he only knew what the people of Morenci thought of his great moral religious weekly, he would spend more time with home affairs and at least make an improve ment in the publication of his own paper. The object of the article which the Leader printed was to queer the ERA with the business men of Clifton in connection with the in- corporation of Clifton. The ERA has not lost any sleep trying to incor- porate Clifton, but it has expressed itself in favor of the proposition. Unlike the Morenci Leader, we do not feel that our support means that Clifton will be incorporated, as we realize that there are a great many property owners here who will de- eide that fact when the election is held. Brother Erickson has not evolutionized the newspaper busi- ness any in Morenci since coming from Kansas, and should first learn to please the people of his own town before commenting upon his neigh bOrs

Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army will supply 300, GOO Christmas dinners for the de- serving poor on Christmas day, 25,OOO of which will be in Greater New York alone. Some people judge the Salvation Army by the few that they see in the small camps and towns, not knowing the work we do, but if they would purchase a few copies of the War Cry that the captain brings to your door every week they would be surprised and pleased with what they read, and I have no doubt that the people would be glad to help the officers in their work in Clifton. We are in need of $50 to clear off our debts in Clifton. If any one out of the fullness of theIr heart and pocket book wish to cheer the cap tain's heart on Christmas day by giving him Christmas present please do so by helping him to pay off this debt.

There will be a match shoot be- tween the Shannon and Clifton gun clubs next Sunday afternoon at the traps of the latter club. It will be remembered that the Shannon club won by a safe margin the last time, but Clifton now has a fast squad and if all of the boys participate in the shoot Shannon will not have such an easy thing.

The Gold Belt Development and Reduction company held a special meeting at it's office last Monday afternoon, at which some special business was transacted. The meet ing was a harmonious one and the future plans of the company were discussed.

The Kentucky claim is located near Garfield in the neighbor- hood of the property of the Stevens Copper company and MT. Stevens is of the opinion that the new strike will prove of importance. The strike was made in a tunnel, which is now in a distance of 225 feet. In or der to complete assessment work for this year it will be necessary to con- tinue the tunnel another twenty-five feet. This work will be continued as rapidly as possible in order to com plete it by January 1st, after which crosscut will be run to ascertain the width and extent of the new strike.

Work is progressing nicely on the new aerial tram of the New England and Clifton Copper company and will be completed within the next sixty days. This is one of the new inn provements being made by the com pany which will create a big saving in transportation of ores from the mines to the railroad. General Man ager Perry is enthusiastic over the future ot the New England company, as the King mine is now looking as well as it ever did in the history of the company. New ore bodies have been encountered in the lower work ings of the King mine and discov- cries at the Antietam are also en- couraging. Shipments are to be in- creased from the Copper King and Antietam mines and the installation of a concentrator within the next year is another improvement which the company will make.

Graham county will close the year 1908 with a copper production of a little better than 100000 pounds. When it is considered that the past year has witnessed low copper prices and a decreased production in most copper districts of the territory, the big companies of this district deserve much credit for having increased their outputs. The output of Graham county last year was reported at 62,- O00,000 pounds, hence the gain has been 1O,OOO,OOO Arizona will undoubt- edly head the list of copper produc- tion by a greater margin than last year.
