The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1908-10-01
Cameron in MetcaIf.

and meeting nearly all of the miners
on the day shift, a grand rally was
held in the A. H. A. hall, in which
nearly the entire population of Met
calf took part. The hall which is
quite large, was taxed to its full
capacity and everyone seemed to
take much interest in the candidate.
A special train was run on the Coro-
nado railroad from Clifton and d
large number took advantage of the
night trip. The Clifton delegation
secured the services of the Clifton
band, composed of a number of the
leading young men of Clifton, and
they made things real lively in the
great mining camp.
G.. E. Dermont, at present post
master at Metcalf, presided over the
meeting, and also delivered an in
teresting address before introducing
the various speakers. Dell NJ. Pot
ter, Ralph Cameron and J. e. Morri-
son were the prominent speakers of
thu evening, and it is believed that
Ralph's trip to Metcalt did him some
good, at least he made many new
| friends. This is the first time that
any of the prominent candidates
have recognized the little camp
of Metcalf, but Ralph is not passing
any of them. The speeches were
somewhat the same as in Clifton.
Mark Smiths name was used often,
but nothing was said about him per-
sonally, but his official record was
discussed to a finish. The excursion
lists arrived home before II o'clock.
Chas. G. Spann, cashier at the A.
G. store, is suffering with an attack
of rheumatism. He was taken quite
sick last Monday and is now at the
Gilliard springs ON the ella. His
friends hope for his speedy recovery.
The Ladies' Aid of the Baptist
church will serve dinner at the polls
on election day, November 3rd. This
will be real convenient for the cleo
tion workers, who won't have to quit
working during cd ting hours.
The Rev. C. R. Calender, of Siam.
will address the Sunday school and
church Sunday morning. He will also
give an illustrated lecture Monday
night on Siam. Everyone cordially
invited. No admission.
The ladies home mission of the
Methodist church held their first
i Saturday afternoon social last week
at the home of Mrs. Jud Webster. 1t
was a most successful affair, there be-
ing about seventy five ladies in at
tendance during the afternoon.
These socials will be held regularly
every Saturday afternoon and the
next one will be at the same place.
The music, which was furnished by
Professor Schrader, was one of the
features of the social. The public is
invited.
Through the individual efforts of
DIR. Burtch and Max Juelg, Clifton is
represented at the international irri-
CATION congress and New Mexico ter
ritorial fair at Albuquerque by first
class ball team. 1t is through such
events as this, where people from all
parts of the world gather, that towns
are able to advertise. Ell Paso sends
a delegation of over 100 boosters. A
few public spirited citizens could
materially aid Clifton in advertising
the town upon such occasions. The
first game was played between Clifton
and Trinidad, Colorado, and resulted
in ten-inning contest. The final re-
suit was in favor of Trinidad.
A. NJ. Crozier, one of the leading
citizens of Duncan. and who is pro-
noting one of the biggest land prop
ositions in the territory, is reported
to be meeting with success. He is
building ditch which when COM
pleted will irrigate a vast acreage of
farming lands in the Duncan neigh
borhood. He already has a large
number of families interested in the
proposition, who may make their
home in that section in the near
future. This will be great card tor
the Duncan country, although the
land is some distance from that place.
The success of this enterprise means
a new town which should be called
"Crozier.''
