The New England and Clifton Cop per company are in receipt of q new air compressor and hoist which will be installed at the Antietam mine This new machinery has already been taken to the mine and is now being installed as fast as possible. The foundations were ready for the ma chinery and no time was lost. Horace Moses, manager ot the An tieman, reports that unless something happens to delay them, the new ma chinery will be in operation by the 10th of June. This new machinery will place the Antietam mine in position to furnish increased ore ship ments and there is every reason to believe that it will develop into one of the big mines ot the district. An excellent body of good grade ore has 1een encountered and developed in the Antietam and the new machinery will enable the company to do it's work in the future on a greatly cheapened basis.

J. G. Hopkins, president of the Ari- zona Copper company, arrived from Connecticut last night and will re- main here for a short time on busi- ness connected with the company. He was accompanied by his wife and son. MT. Hopkins is an old time resident of Clifton and has many old time fridnds here who were glad to see him. As president of the Ari- zona Copper company it is prophesied that he will make d record second to not even James Colquhoun and will not overlook the welfare and appear auce of Clifton in the way of public improvements. His visit to Clifton, although much later than expected, will no doubt be the means of in forming the people what they may expect in the future. His visit to Clifton is source of comment and appreciation on the part of the citi- zens of Clifton, as well as the officials of the Arizona Copper company.

Henry Hill who with several other residents of this district are inter- ested in coal prospects, in Apache county, about ninety miles from Cliff ton, is exhibiting some samples this week that look like the real thing.
 They have recently encountered a
 layer of coal 30 inches wide at a depth of twenty feet. It is as good as most of the coal that is shipped into
 this district. The owners of the coal prospect have decided to put up enough money to start work on q more extensive scale and will put in a pump to handle the water and sink to depth. Three layers have been encountered so far, and each of them have been an improvement over the other. A railroad can be built from Metcalf, connecting the Coronado railroad with the new coal fields. The opening of d good coal field at that place would be a great fuel saver to the Clifton Morenci district.

 It is rumored that the Arizona cop per company will soon deed the wag- on bridge across the Frisco river at Clifton to the county. This bridge was built by the company several years ago and they have kept it in repair ever since. The repairs will be made by the county in the future.
 The automobile which arrived in Clifton last week is not yet in run ming order. For some reason the machinery will not work properly and the machine cannot make the grade. Messrs. Munday and Cotey will secure the services of an expert to put it in running order.
 The foot bridge in South Clifton is of the boards are almost worn through and there are two or three holes in the walk that are certain to result in accidents unless they are repaired at once. The ERA under stands that this foot bridge belongs to the county and it is the duty of the supervisors to see that it is re- raired.
 The Euterpe Concert company gave a high class entertainment at the opera house last Monday evening un- der the auspices of the Baptist Church. It consisted of music and singing and those who attended re- ported that any one of the selections rendered were well worth the price of admission. They will visit Clifton again next year at which time more people will take advantage of the opportunity to hear a musical treat.
 The Shannon Copper company has made arrangements for the improve ment of the wagon road up the hill to its works. The company will con- tribute the greatest portion of the money that will be required to build it and the county will make good the balance. The contract has been let to Bill Damron, who has already com menced work. The grade of the road will be reduced considerably and put in such condition as to be safe from damage by rain. The new road will cost in the neighborhood of 5000, and will be a great convenience to the Shannon Copper company as well as others who travel the read,

The output of the Arizona Copper company for the month of April was 1900 tons of Bessemer copper, which was indeed Hattering record, and gives the company a good average since the first of the year. The com pany is now doing a considerable amount of work in the way of getting ready for the installation of a new stack on the bill which it is claimed will do away with the hue dust and also save considerable loss. Upon the completion of the changes planned in the smelting department the Arizona Copper company will have irst-class shelter and will be in a position to increase the output. They have also made extensive Improvements at the various producing mines, increasing the output aud reducing the cost of mining and transportation, all of which will show up to advantage in their record for this year.

The Gold Belt Development and Reduction company is still closed down awaiting developments in the raising of funds for the construction of a gold mill. Since the company discontinued operations various rumors have been circulated that are without foundation. The Gold Belt is in much better shape today than it was some time ago, as it |has proven up and blocked out ma ny tons of gold ore that will average better than Sl5 to the ton. They have the ore, but what they want now is a mill to handle it. This ore could Le shipped at profit and the mines kept run ming, but it would entail d cunslder- able loss to the company in the end. Stockholders have no reason to be alarmed as the Gold Belt is one of the coming companies in the Clifton Morenci district As soon as the price of copper advances the Gold 1 Belt can ship considerable amount of copper ore at profit.

can be handled, as soon as the mill is ready, at a handsome profit. The company has been in continuous operation over a year and a cousid- erable amount of work has been done during that time. A great many people of Moreuci and Clifton are interested in the company and all of them are more than we'll pleased with the rapid advancemen that has been made by the manage ment.
 I. N. Stevens, superinteud ent of the Chase Creek Copper company, reports that work is progressing on the long tunnel. Shortly after the panic operations were shut off to some extent, but new energy has been introduced lately and the usual force of men are at work again. As has been reported many times, the Chase Creek company owns number of valuable claims in a district that has been proven by the larger companies and is almost bound to succeed in de- 7eloping good mines. Never in the history of the company has it been blessed with brighter prospects. Superintendent Stevens is one of the early mining men in this district and is thoroughly acquainted with the sur face indications and formations aud it is his opinion that the Chase Creek property will develop into some of the best low grade mines in the Clifton MorenCi district.

The Morse lawyers late Friday ap.

Whether a new trial will be grant

returnable December 3, and is pased
on the usual grounds--exception

and exceptions to the indictment itself.
This step had to be taken before

in Tuesdays election showed a great
falling off from the record in 1904 in

Chicago socialists, who polled
$4,000 votes in 1904, were given less
than 10000 votes in the police re-

expect that the revised totals will ex
ceed 1000 votes for Mr.. Debs.
Cincinnati and Cleveland, also list
ed as strong socialist centers, accord
ing TO the leaders of the party polled
a greatly decreased vote
The total vote for Mr.. Debs, II is
estimated, will not exceed 100000 in
place Of the 100000 which was pre-.
dicted by enthusiastic socialists.
