A GRAND RECEPTION.
Governor Kibbey Entertained by the
Clifton Commercial Club.

The Clifton Commercial Club,
represented by the business men and
citizens of Clifton, gave a grand re-
ception and dinner at the Clifton
Hotel last Friday evening, in honor
of the Honorable Joseph H. Kibbey,
governor of Arizona, to which large
number of citizens were invited.
The reception was held early in the
evening in the hotel Office, where al
most the entire population of Clifton
greeted the governor, who is con-
coded by all ArizOnans to be the best
chief executive the territory has
ever had.
In company with the governor, was
Mr.. j. H. Page, territorial auditor,
and one of the brightest young men
in the territory. The distinguished
guests remained in the hotel office
until 8 o'clock, when they were in
vited to the dining room, where an
elaborate bill of fare was spread
with covers for seventy-fve.
Those present enjoyed the dinner
to the fullest extent, after which
the governor was introduced and the
remainder of the evening was de-
voted to speeches by the governor
and many others.
Colonel NJ. J. Egan, who has been
close friend to the governor for
many years, and one of the leading
attorneys, and who has few equals
as POSTMASTER, acted as chairman
of the meeting and introduced the
governor in the following speech:
GENTLEMEN:
minutes.
Tonight the pleasant duty devolves
upon me, as the chairman of the
Clifton Commercial Club, TO assume
the post of POSTMASTER at this ban

forest in the world and the time is
not far distant when mills will be in
stalled and Arizona will be supply
ing the trade with grade of lumber
that cannot be eXcelled in the United
States. Arizona raises the finest
cattle and horses in the world and
the ranges are better supplied with
grass than many sections that we
hear so much about. The sheep in
dustry has grown to wonderful pro-
portions in Arizona during the past
few years, and few people realize
what the territory is doing in the
wool industry alone. He also in
formed the club that the Salt River
valley alone had more land supplied
with irrigating waters and under
cultivation than the entire portion
of Southern California. And with
the consummation of irrigation
problems that are now being solved
by the government at Yuma and
other places, Arizona will soon be d
wonderful farming country. She has
the soil that will grow anything, the
only problem being water. The eli
mate is favorable and the yield is
great. In reference to Graham
county, he remarked that it was his
pleasure to know that the ella val
ley is as good d producer as any
valley in Arizona. He also took no.
tice of the fact that Arizona leads
the world in the production of the
finest olive oil on the market. The
same might be said of her oranges,
which are shipped to the eastern
market, where they sell at premium
on account of quality and flavor. He
also COmplimented the territory up
on having passed through the panic
as well or better than any state, for
which he gave due credit to the min
ing companies for the manner in
which they aided by continuing to
operate their mines and plants.
The governor is truly an Arizonan
and his love for the territory was
illustrated when he stood for single
statehood for Arizona against the
wishes of some of the leading men of
the United States. His record in
Arizona has been a commendable one
and the policies of his administra-
tion has been worth thousands OF
dollars to the territory.
After the governors remarks the
following letter of regrets from J.W.
Bonnie, manager of the Shannon
Copper company. was read by the

quet. am well aware that the best
service a toastmaster can render is
to call the roll of spell-binders at the
feast, and to obliterate himself.
However, in the name of the good
people of Clifton, 1 desire to extend
TO our distinguished visitors a cordial
welcome, to our little city under the
cliffs, and to proffer to them the free
dom of the city, and all that that
implies, while they tarry within our
gates.
L, also, have the pleasure and privi-
lege of presenting to you, Joseph Z.
KibLey, governor of Arizona, an able
lawyer: learned judge; legislator
who made laws that were fair and
just to all; wise executive whose
Judgment has been tried in grave
emergencies of international import:
he has been equal to every situation
in which he has been placed, and as
the foremost citizen of Arizona, he is
an example of the highest virtues
that ennoble a state, that grace
society and that adorn the home.
To him has been assigned the toast
to Arizona: ''The fairest daughter
of the Sun, whose veins are of silver,
with sinews of copper and heart of
gold"
ARIZONA.
Governor Kibbey responded to the
above toast in manner that sur
prised all those present and he sue
ceeded in convincing them that Ari-
IONA is destined to be not only the
greatest mineral producing territory
or state in the world, but leader in
farm products as well. At the be-
ginning of his remarks he COmpli-
mented the Commercial Club upon
the manner in which it had surprised
him with a reception that would be a
credit to a city of many times Cliff
toms population. He also COmpli-
mented the appearance of those
present at the banquet and was es-
pecially partial to the young
men. He said that he noticed that
the gathering was represented al
most wholly by young men, upon
whom the future of Arizona greatly
depends, as they are possessed of
much progressiveness and ability
there is no doubc but that Arizona
will be the grandest state in the
union within a short time. AS a
producer, he said that Ari-
IONA today leads the world, and he
realized that the CliftOn-Morenci
district, with its mines practically /
undeveloped, did its share towards
swelling the mineral output, of 1907. |
He also mentioned the tact that Ari- ]
IONA has the largest continuous pine

of this district did not have all of the
best mines as there were many 9TH
ers that only needed development. He
also stated that it would be the policy
of the Arizona Copper company to
encourage and assist new enterprises
in the CliftOn-Morenci district in the
future.
THE DISTRICT
Hon. Lamar Cobb, who. represented
Graham county in the asse mbly of
Arizona couple of years ago, was
called upon to speak in behalf of the
Clifton Morenci district. He con-
fined his remarks to facts and said
that the district covers an area of
about ten miles square, in which are
located 1910 mining claims, 400 of
which are owned by the three big
companies, the Arizona, the
Shannon and the Detroit Cop
per companies. OF this number
ores are being extracted from but
thirty mines, which is truly d small
percentage, clearly illustrating that
the district is only in its infancy.
The next decade will see this number
doubled. Mr.. Cobb stated that the
reason the Clifton-Morenci district
never had boom like other Arizona
operated on a more consistent and
substantial basis, never failing to
gain ground each year. He said that
it had been the history of other min
ing camps to exhaust their energies
in rushing to the top and then becom-
ing dead one while it has always
been the history of this section to
advance slowly and when it reaches
the top, which it will in a very short
time, it will stay there for all time to
come. 'tOur mineral resources are
still unknown and undeveloped."
/ Frank b. Laine, one of the promi-
nent attorneys of Clifton, was called
upon for d song by special request,
and he responded with a popular
selection. 5-4
THE BANKS.
c. A. Van Dorm, cashier of the
ella Valley Bank q Trust company,
represented the banks in a short
speech in which he mentioned the
pleasing manner in which the local
banks passed through the recent
panic in which many financial insti-
tutions went to the wall. He also
mentioned the fact that it was due
greatly to the confidence which de-
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1908-03-26

positors had in the local banking in
situations that Clifton was able to
make a better showing financially
than any other city or camp in Ari-
IONA. Deposits Increased while the
clearing house certificates were in
circulation and deposits showed lit
tie shrinkage when the lid was raised.
THE CLIFF CITY.
To this toast the Hon. J. r. Hamp-
ton replied in d short but eloquent
speech in which he pictured the
future of Clifton'tas the leading cop
per producer in the territory. He
reminded US that the day is not far
distant when the mines of the Cliff
Morenci district will have been
developed and the oldtimers who
stay with the camp will transfer
their mountains Of copper into
stream of gold. Although a COM
to the days when the a. c. company
built the first railroad in Arizona
connecting the; mines of Metcalf
with the plant at Clifton. The first
locomotive for this railrOd was pack
ed in on burres, put up by Dave
Clark, at present master mechanic
of the company, and operated by
that faithful engineer, Henry Ar
buckle. Mr.. Hampton was particu-
larly complimentary to the old timers
of the district and revealed the fact
that Col. Egan wrote the first mining
location notice that was posted in
the district. He also presented fig
ures regarding Arizona as the lead
ing mineral producer of the world,
giving comparisons between Colo
RADIO, Nevada, Michigan and Mon
tana. He expressed himself as be-
ing highly pleased with the first step
taken by the Clifton Commercial
club and is in favor of making it a
permanent organization tor the pur-
pose of preparing and circulating
literature setting forth
the astounding copper possibilities of
and the Clifton Morenci dis
triCt in general.
GRAHAM COUNTY AND THE CHA
VALLEY.
Lee n. Stratton, district attorney
Of Graham county and one of the
leading citizens of the ella Valley,
in a Short speech in which
he informed those present of the
rapid advancement of the county in
the past fifteen years. He pointed
back to the time when the mines of

WITH this issue the COOPER Err,

WITH this issue the COPPER ERA
completes its ninth year i'm the Cliff
ton-Morenci district. 1t was launch
ed in small way and has continued
to grow until now it has no equal in
Graham county. The policy of the
ERA has always been the printing of
reliable news and the upbuildiug of
the Clifton-Morenci district, as well
as Graham county. The ERA has
seen the town of Clifton advance
from few adobe buildings to rather
modern little city, and but for the
destructive floods, Clifton would now
be second to no city in Arizona. AS
has been the case in other lines of
business, the ERA has suffered food
losses, but it-came to Clifton to stay
and will be here when those who have
staid with the town reap their
harvest. It will represent Clifton in
the future as it has in the past. We
desire to thank the business men and
citizens of tie county, as well as
others for the patronage extended us
in the past, hoping they will con-
tinue the same in the future.

present time when the mines are pro-
ducing copper by the wholesale and
the farms along the ella valley are
almost as thick as mosquitoes in the
swamps of Louisiana. He also
pointed out the fact that the panic
was unknown to the most of the
farmers, who raised big crops, for
which they received highest market
prices in the copper camps of
their immediate vicinity. During
his residence in Graham county he
and under the present man
agement of the copper companies
and other industries of the county,
she is bound to come to the front by
leaps and bounds.
COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT.
E. NJ. Williams, manager of the
per company, which is beyond doubt
one of the largest commercial enter
prises in Arizona, favored the club
with an interesting speech in which
he pointed out the many advantages
of the Clifton Morenci district as a
wealth producer. Mr.. Williams men
toned the fact that he came to Cliff
ton many years ago, when the en-
tire business of the district was done
through one store, and at that time
did not amount to as much as is now
being done at Metcalf alone. He
was also plimentary to the man
agement of the companies and the
people of the district, who have
labored. with unlimited, energy to
make the Clifton-Morenci district
what it is today.
'-.-- FINANCES.
]. Fl. Page, territorial auditor and
who accompanied the governor, gave
the club an outline of the manner in
which the territory passed through
the panic. He referred to the fact
that Clifton and Morenci really knew
nothing about the panic, as he found
upon examination that the banks of
this county made. a better financial
showing after the panic than tn, y
did before. He referred to Globe in
particular, which camp was more i'll
convenienced than any other place
in the territory. 10 speaking of tt e
territory as a whole he stated that h.
f Iund that Arizona stood the test
better than any state in the uniun
and today the vaults are supple d
with an unlimited amount of cash.

favor of explaining 70 the Commit

that it is with great regret | have to
fOrego the pleasure of meeting the
Honorable Joseph II. Kibbey at the
club dinner this evening. 1t is all
the more regretable to me- my en-

THE MINES.
Norman Carmichael, general man
ager of the Arizona Copper company,
responded to a toast on the min, S of
the Clifton district. He
said that the Arizona Copper COM
pany was practically the first copper
to engage in business in
Arizona, which was many years ago
and at a time when railroads were I'M
known. The Arizona Copper COM
pany, with never ending energy,
operated many years ago on mere
string and it was only by Consistent
and economical management that it
develO bed It's mines, and built its
railroads and reduction plants, ad
vancing step by step until today it is
the leading producer of this district
and is exerting its energies towards
making Arizona the copper wonder
of the world. In his speech he drift
ed to the manner in which his COM
pany met the panic and remarked
that it was greatly due to the con-
shown by employees of
the company in cooperating in the !
reduction of costs.
MIR. Carmichael expressed his |
belief that the three big companies !
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1908-03-26

He also mentioned the fact that the
finances of the territory have in.
creased more than 100 per cent. dur.
ing the last few years and Arizona is
fast becoming the champion in not
only copper but also in all other in.
dustries.
Archie Morrison, superintendent of
the A. G. concentrating department,
was called for song and he respond
ed with "My Name Was Jim," and
his melod;ous voice inspired the
hearts of those present.
Dan M. Lynch, chief of the A. G..
boilermaker shop, then favored the
meeting with a short talk, and in
his usual inspiring manner said
that the copper mines of the
Clifton-Morenci district had no
equal on the face of the earth. He
said that it had been the history of
our mines to improve in value and
area as depth was gained, while in
other sections they are soon worked
out. He also stated that he thought
he knew something about Arizona,
but the remarks of the governor
convinced him that he was acquaInt:
ed with only small portion of her
wonderful industries. He expressed
his approval of the present admins
tratiOn of Arizona, which had sue
ceeded in equalizing taxation and in
creasing revenue to huge proportions.
He said: SIN fact it is the only adj
ministration Arizona has ever had. "
Edward Gomez, a local attorney,
represented our sister republic
Mexico in an appropriate speech
in which he nodded friendship be-
tween Mexico and the United States.
He also stated that the people of
Mexico depended largely upon
American capital to develop their
mineral resources.
Major Latin, who by the way re-
newed his acquaintance with the
governor, recited the wooden In
dian," after which he made few
appropriate remarks.
Karl Schade made a few compli-
mentary remarks about the manner
in which the territory had assisted
Clifton in making it possible to erect
one of the finest school houses in
Arizona.
T. B. Inglis gave the charge of the
Rough Riders in his usual entertain
ing manner, which inspired George
Fraser who responded with a song.
After a short closing address by the
postmaster, the most enthusiastic
ever assembled in Clifton
vas closed by song rendered by A.
T. Thomson, cashier of the Arizona
copper company.
