IN CONVERSATION one day this
week with several of the leading
democrats of Clifton, the ERA re-
porter was informed that there
would be two candidates from this
precinct for the nomination of super
visor. The first name mentioned sew
eral weeks ago was that of ]. A. Nc
williams and the second is that of
George Webster, one of the most SUBJ
stantial business men of the county.
Mr. Webster is an old resident of
the county and is well-known both in
this section and in the valley. Mr..
Webster remarked some time ago
that he did not care for any Office,
but his democratic friends have
taken it upon themselves to mention
his name as their choice. Between
the two men there is little choice, as
they are both good men and will be
an ornament to the democratic
ticket. Both have many friends
among the democrats:

THE burning of the school house in
Cleveland, Ohio, last week, in which
nearly 200 children between the ages
six and thirteen years persisted,
was one of the most deplorable af-
fairs that has occurred for many
years. The fire started in the base
ment and as there was no fire escape
the children were penned in the
building and doomed to fate. About
325 children were in the building at
the timesof the fire and it is reported
that very few escaped without some
injury. This is only another evidence
OF the necessity of equipping school
buildings of more than one story
with fire escapes, a matter that
shoul3-not be overlooked in the COM
-pletion of our new school building. A
disasterof this kind cannot be fully
realized unless of local occurrence
The school buildings of Clifton should
be equipped with means of escape
from fire.

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter

Copper is slightly weaker. Lake
is offered at Is cents. and sales of
electrolytic are being made at 12a
cents per pound. Domestic consum-
ers are buying a little more copper,
but as they are unanimously bearish
on the metal market, still their pur-
chases prove that their business is
improving. A little over a year ago
this country reached a point where it
was consuming 6O,OOO,OOO pounds of
copper monthly. Twelve months
later domestic consumption had de-
clined to about 2O,0OO,O 900, loss of Sc
per cent. within a year. Those in a
position to watch the metal market
say there has recently been an i'm
provement; that from 80 per cent
the consuming demand has increased
to nearly 40 per cent. of the maxi
mum volume. One high in the trade
who has studied the statistics of pro-
duction and consumption says that if
the consumptive demand goes back
to 80 per cent. of the maximum, i. e.,
to 10000, 600 pounds monthly, and the
foreign demand continues normal, as
it has during the past SIX months, a
market will be provided for the en-
tire output of all the mines.
The announcement that the sew
eral idle mines of the Butte district
and the Washoe smelter would re-
sumo operations Immediately gener-
ated pessimistic feeling in the
trade this week and caused the slight
decline in prices. Certainly the
Amalgamated management would not
have taken this important step I'M
less there was an excellent reason
for it. 1 believe it was based on the
fact that the surplus supplies of cop
per were practically exhausted; on a
desire to give employment to the
10000 workingmen who depend upon
the company, and to earn something
for stockholders.
L am quite sure that the Am alga-
mated managem ent did not take this
step until assured that there had
been a distinct and definite improve
ment in the iron and steel situation;
that the new orders OH The books of
all the steel companies had begun in
Creasing. Iron and steel have been
watched as barometer by the Stand
ard Oil-Amalgamated interests for
many years. They still have conf
denCe in this barometer; and they
therefore are satisfied that by the
time the WashOe smelter is putting
out its full volume of production
again the business of the country
will have improved sufficiently to alb
sorb it. 1t will be ninety days before
any copper fror- the Washoe smelter
is refined and delivered to consumers,
and no considerable volume will come
from this source before July.
1t may be expected that Amalga-
mated's resumption will have a senti-
mental influence which will keep the
metal market depressed for two or
three weeks to come. 1t is quite posi-
bic, however, that a scarcity of real
copper may cause an advance in the
price of spot before any of the new
production is available.

MINING NOTES
Pertaining to CIiftOn-MOrenci Dis.
trict and Surrounding Camps.

Alex. Veitch, general manager of
the New England and Clifton Copper
company, arrived last week to spend
a few days on business connected
with the company. He left yester-
day morning for the east where he
will spend a few weeks. Mr.. Veitch
is very enthusiastic over the pros
poets for his company and made the
statement that the company is now
in better condition than ever before
in its history.
Forest Moore, who has charge of
the timber and carpenter work at
the Gold Belt property west of Mo-
renci, visited Clifton this week on
business. He reports that develop
ment work is still going along as
rapidly as possible. The ERA is in
formed by parties who have recently
visited the mines, that the timbering
at the Gold Belt is the best that can
be found in the Clifton Morenci dis
trict, which is saying a great deal.
The New England and Clifton cop
per company, which recently resumed
operations, is now making regular
shipments of ore to the Shannon
smelter. The double compartment
shaft at the Antietam, has been
Strengthened and will soon be com.
pleted. From the mines in the up
per part of the district there is now
being shipped daily average of IL
tons, all of which passes over the
new tramroad which the company
completed several months ago. The
new air compressor will be shipped
this month from the manufacturers
and when installed the output of the
Antietam will be considerably in
creased. The management of the
company has decided to push devel
opment work as much as possible
with the object of developing enough
ore to justify the erection of reduc-
tion works. At the Copper King op-
erations are again being carried or
with good results. F. II. Perry is
experimenting the work at this mine
and ore shipments to the extent OF
% tons daily are being made. This
tonnage will be increased to 30 tons
daily before the close of the present
month. The management of the
company announce that the New
England is now in better shape than
it has been for several years. The
temporary shut down proved of much
value to the company in the way OF
reducing expenses, matter of much
interest to stockholders.

w. S. Munday is circulating sub
scription list for the purpose of main
taining.the public school of district
No. 3S to the full eight months. The
companies have been very liberal in
the matter and those who have
children going to school will certainly
make up the difference to finish the
term. He is meeting with much sue
cess and it now seems certain that
the children will have an opportunity
to get all there is coming to them.
The school will be moved into the
new building next Monday morning.
The lower floor has been completed
and the stairway is up. 1t is posi-
BILE that the building will not be en-
tirely completed for some time yet
as the upper rooms lack a great deal
of being finished.

THE editor of the Stafford Guardian
last week took exception to what the
ERA said about the high assessment
of Graham county. He must have
misunderstood the article or he
would not have taken up the state
ment by calling our attention to the
tax rate. The ERA did not say that
the tax rate was higher. 1t men,
toned the increased assessment,
which naturally means lower taxes.

THE editor of the Morenci Leader
is becoming quite sarcastic over the
water proposition in Clifton. The
ERA would like to call his attention
to the fact that he should reside here
long enough to become acquainted
with conditions before making the
assertion that the Clifton people are
all booze fighters.

NEW YoRK-AR1zoNA COMPANY.

Herman J. Degenar, one of the
York-Arizona company, and who has
devoted much of his time to the in
terests of the company, visited Cliff
ton this week. He is very enthus-
iastic over the present prospects of
the company and informed the ERA
reporter that it was a fact that the
company had recently raised $4,000
cash in addition to its present bank
account, which will be used for the
construction of 10-stamp gold mill.
Plans are now being formulated and
construction work will be commenced
as soon as possible. The mill will be
so constructed that additional stamps
may be added from time to time as
they are needed. In order to avoid
future trouble the company spent
considerable time in testing the ores
of all their claims in order TO deter
mine the best process of saving val
ues. During the past two weeks three
new strikes are reported on the Ollie,
Koyen and Buzzard Shadow. The ore
on the two former claims is of good
average in gold and silver and gives
promise of much magnitude, but the
strike on the Buzzard Shadow gave
returnes of $4,000 to the ton gold
and silver, controlling values being
gold. AS yet the extent Of this find
has not been ascertained, but it is
thought that it will hold good as
depth is obtained. During the past
year the company has exerted much
energy in the development of all
claims with the result that it is the
opinion of those in a position to know
that enough milling ore is proven up
to run a large stamp mill several
years. Once the mill is completed
the company will he in a position to
illustrate that what the management
has claimed for the property is
true. The building of the new plant
will mean a great deal for the Mo-
renci district and will be just the
starter for the development of the
golden metal in that section. That
the mill will be a paying proposition
there is little doubt, as the property
owned by the company is simply COW
cred with an excellent grade of mill
ing ore. The installation of the mill
on the New York-Arizona property
will be closely followed by the Gold
Belt company, which corporation has
also developed large amount of
high-grade gold milling ore. These
properties are located closely to-
gether, being separated by a high
mountain. The Gold Belt is now
working on plans for the future cree
ton of their mill and in the mean
time are vigorously pushing develop
ment work on both gold and copper
claims.

EXPfClED VISIT OF
 CHAS. N. CRlTltNTON
The Noted Evangelist and Founder of the Florence Crittendon Homes Will Be Here Next Sunday.

Mrs. Broadbrook, matron of the Crit tenton Home. announces that Charles H. Crittention of New York city. the founder of the home, will visit Phoenix shortly and she hopes to be informed of his arrival here by next Sunday morning. It is quite likely that during his stay thera will be series of meet ings the number of them depending upon the length of his visit Mir. Crit tenton has been here once or twice be- fore, his first visit resulting in the founding of the home in this city. Many Phoenix people formed his ac- quaintance at that time and will be more than glad to welcome him again.
 As most people know the Home in this city is but one of many that have been established throughout the coun try as the result of Mir. Crittenton $ efforts but few perhaps know that seventy eight institutions are number ed in this chain of Homes for the un- fortunate, one of which is found in al most all the large and some of the small cities of the country. The head quarters of the associated institutions are in Washington, D. C.. where there
 
 tains protecting influence over all.
 The idea of founding these homes came to Mir. Crittenton as a memoria. to his daughter Florence who died at d tender age and to whom he was a most devoted father. That his pur- pose has resulted in bringing sunshine into the lives of thousands, there is ample testimony in every community where a home has been established, and though il was primarily designed as an institution for both the physical and moral salvation of girls and wo- men who had fallen from the paths ot rectitude. its scope has been broadened so that it provides a place of shelter for many whose worst mis-ortuncs are merely those of embarrassment through loss of funds and friends and who are without resources for their own necessities. IL has also done much in providing for homeless and friend less children and in works of individual charity.
 Though the homes were organized and endowed to some extent by MT. Crittenton, formerly in mercantile life until he began d work of evangelical tion. ther are very largely controlled by local boards on whom a large bur den of the financing depends. That the Phoenix home has been a magnifi- cent success in affording d place of refuge for the unfortunate, all who know Of it will testify and many Of the men and women of this city have done a noble work in furthering it's interests. Though it is not an i'm posing or pretentious place, it is in a much better financial condition than
