Another Blaze at New Town

New Town Morenci is getting to be
one of the hottest places in Arizona
Only a few months ago the entire
town was swept out by fire, compris.
ing a loss of about 100000. On last
Sunday evening at o O'Clock, fire
broke out in New Town and inside of
thirty minutes several thousand dol
lars worth of property had been con-
sumed by the hungry flames. The
fire started in one of the back rooms
of the Sawaia saloon and all build
ings up to the Chesterfield 81 Whit
ridge saloon were consumed, together
with most of their contents. The
places burned out consisted of the
Sawaia saloon, a Chinese restaurant,
Sanchez & Telles butcher shop, Blass
Sirianni's saloon and another saloon.
Several thousand dollars insurance
we're carried by agencies represented
by Smith & Carlton, Hampton and
Cleaveland. But for good water
pressure, no wind and heoric work
the entire TOWNSHIP would have been
swept clean. Several of the build
ings that escaped the fire were badly
damaged.
The fire started in Minnie Williams,
room and it is supposed that she
turned over her lamp while in one of
her hop dreams. She persisted in
the flames and when the remains
we're picked up there was nothing
but the skeleton left, the flesh hav-
ing been entirely extracted from the
bones. The remains weighed about
thirty pounds.

Fire Scare al Shannon.

On last Sunday evening about
o'clock the fire whistle at the Shan
non reduction works attracted the at
tention of the residents of Shannon
hill and lower part of Clifton. The
fire, when discovered, had gained
considerable Roadway and was located
in the boiler room building. This
building is practically all steel.
The Shannon is now equipped with
excellent fire fighting facilities and
thirty minutes after the water was
turned on the fire had been extin-
guished. The damage was light,
and with the exception of the ex-
citement among employees of the
works no time was lost in the oper-
alton of the works.
The boilers were not damaged to
any extent, in fact the additional
heat only steamed them up little
higher. The plant continued oper-
alton after the fire the same as if
nothing had happened.
The Shannon company has all OF
it's property covered by insurance.

Among the prominent visitors to
Clifton this week is Paul Nicholas,
who, in connection with the mines of
the A. C. company in early days, is
known personally by all old timers of
the district. Until about two years
ago, when he moved his residence to
Springfield, Mo-, Mr.. Nicholas was
superintendent of mines on the Long
fellow hill, and his knowledge of min
ing and wise management was the
source of much revenue and success
for the A. G. company. He is heavily
interested in the A. C. company and
will spend a few days here on a visit
to the officials of the COMPANY.

Arizona Copper

1t has been announced that ]. G.
Hopkins, of Greenwich, Conn, will
be elected president of the Arizona
Copper company, succeeding James
Colquhoun.
MIR. Hopkins has been the only
American member of the board of
directors of the Arizona Copper COM
pany, and he is said to be a man of
superior knowledge in copper mining
affairs. He believes that the Arizona
Copper company has not begun to
demonstrate its possibilities, and his
assumption of the Office of president
is Indicative of an era of expansion
in the affairs of that company.
Mr.. Hopkins believes the property
is capable of an annual production of
so, OOO,O 900 pounds of copper per an
mum, at a cost of under 10 cents per
pound.
The Arizona Copper company
greatly needs a new smelling plant.
1t also needs new nighttime railroad
from its mines to the smelter. The
Scotch management made an agree
ment last year with the Shannon Cop
per company to build such line, SC
as to obviate flood damages. So far
this year, however, there have been
no flood damages at Clifton. They
somehow seldom occur when copper
is low in price. The floods shut down
the Arizona plant an aggregate of
two months last winter.
Under the aggressive American
methods of Mr.. Hopkins it is not un-
likely that the relationship between
the Arizona Copper company and the
Shannon Copper company will be very
much closer.
1t is estimated the Arizona Copper
company has 10000, 900 tons of ore in
sight in its various properties. 1t is
now producing copper, when it is
running normal, at the rate of about
30, 900, 900 pounds per anuum.
Mr.. Hopkins, it is reported, is the
largest individual stockholder of the
company, owning about $4,000 shares.

In doing assessment work on the
Lafave group of mines, belonging to
the Chase Creek Copper company, a
good body of low grade oxide copper
ore was encountered in the develop
ment tunnel, which is in a distance of
200 feet. The group consists of four
valuable mineral claims adjoining the
Little Coronado claims. That section
is without doubt one of the best low
grade zones in the district. Develop
ment at depth is all that is required.
The Chase Creek Co. has spent a
considerable sum of money on its long
tunnel on the Stevens claims. This
work is being done under the advice of
Superintendent Stevens, whose knowl-
edge of mining in this district carries
considerable weight. He is confident
that big body of low grade ore will
be encountered in this tunnel. The
new strike promises especialm agni-
tude and the stockholders have
reason to be greatly encouraged.

Wreck on the Coronado Railroad.

During the past few weeks the
Coronado Railroad passenger coaches
have had an iteresting time and it
is all Chief Car Repairer Jas. Cromt
can do to keep them going. They
we're put out of commission a couple
of weeks ago by colliding with box
car and on last Friday the Shannon
ore train, commanded by engine No.
y, took smash at them at Metcalf.
The rails were wet from the rain and
the grade is pretty steep where the
accident occurred, rendering it i'm
possible to stop the heavy ore train
behind the engine. The engine piled
into the rear end coach and smashed
things generally. Unfortunately a
young Mexican man was standing on
the platform. He was severely in
jured, from the effects of which he
died later.

The shaft has now reached a depth
of 260 feet, prospects for an immense
body of copper ore are fattering.
AT the 25O foot level drift was run
and Manager Beauchamp is of the
opinion that good ore will be en-
countered almost any day. A car
load shipment of copper ore was
made to the Shannon smelter last
week that averaged Is per cent.
When asked about the gold ship
ment, supposed to have been made
last week, Mr.. Beauchamp replied:
1.-THE ERA was misinformed, as the
company has no intention of shipping
any of its gold ore."

N. Il. Amster, the distinguished
and progressive president of the
Shannon Copper company, arrived in
Clifton Monday evening on his usual
tour of inspection. Mr.. Amster had
the pleasure of viewing a number of
improvements at the works and mines
of the company, made since his last
visit, the most interesting being the
new 1000-ton furnace, which has been
in operation several months, and is
doing most satisfactory work. Mr..
Amster is always a welcome visitor
to Clifton and his trips usually mean
more new improvements. AS to the
future of the company his opinions
are exceedingly encouraging. After
a few days in Clifton he will journey
to Globe, where he is heavily inter-
ested in mining affairs.
