MINING NOTES
Pertaining to CIiftOn-MOrenci Dis-
 trict and Surrounding Camps.
Our Production is the Same.

Though the price of copper has not advanced, the operating companies of the Clifton Morenci district con- tinue to hold up their production and July can be relied upon as an average month for us. Considering the fact that many of the copper districts are operating with reduced forces and outputs, we are going along just the same as before the slump. The operation of the big plants is not producing as much profit, of course, but at the same time they are not losing anything and can show a profit for every ton of ore handled. Though outside districts are dull, the Clifton Morenci section is now witnessing a revival and if prospects count for anything there will be more develop ment work going on here within the next few months than at any one time in the history of the district.

Drew Six Months and $I00.

Francisco Dominguez, a Mexican who was inclined to take a rap at a peace officer while he was taking an other man to jail, drew a sentence of six months at work and cash fine of S100 in Judge Moder's court last week, which ought to be enough to hold him for a while at least. Dock Nicks had arrested another Mexican, whose name we did not learn and was on his way to the jail from the upper end of Chase creek. When he ar rived at point above the Bazaar store Dominguez ran up behind them and rapped Nicks a lick in the neck, putting him to the ground. Nicks was without his gun but mixed it with Dominguez and they scrapped it out until Bert Robinson came along and assisted in the arrest. In the meantime the Mexican whom NiCks had arrested made his escape, but Dominguez was a good one in his place. The man who got away had his escape was of no importance.
 The sentence and fine handed to Dominguez should be lesson to those who are inclined to jump on an officer, and he can consider himself lucky that he did not get severe beating or injury, which is usually the result in a difficulty of this kind. There appeared to be no reason for the action of Dominguez, who has been here but short time and says that he did not know the man who got a

The Chase Greek Company.

I. N. Stevens, who has been looking after the development work on the property of the Chase Creek Copper company, whose properties are located in the Metcalf district, re- ports that he is in receipt of informa- ton from leading members of the company that funds are forthcoming for large amount of new work to be done on the property at an early date. It will be remembered that the company has driven long tun- mel with the idea of developing the property at an enormous depth the past several years with most encour- aging results. While the company has not decided to abandon this tun- nel, the cost of getting ready for work again will amount to consider able, consequently it has been de- cided to do the new work on other portions of the property. The new work will be commenced in the near future.

Standing of Clifton Ball Players.

Official Scorer Crawford, of the Clifton ball club, this week handed in the following statement of the stand ing of the various plapers of the local club, based on the number of games shown in the table. The table includes the game played last Sunday in which all of the players took a slum in their batting, there being but two hits in the game, otherwise all of the players would have bet ter record. Riley and Mason are the only players who participated in all of the game, while Williams again leads in extra base drives, having made his record before he took d slum in his hitting. Riley is the big gest thief on the team, havingstolen I2 bases, with Williams as second with 10. Williams has doubles and tripple to his credit; Scanlan is second with doubles and ? tripples; and Caul third with 1 double, l trip Dle and home runs

Keystone chtirn drills have been pur- Charsed and are now en route to Cliff ton. These drills are the same as those used by the Ray Consolidated company and are capable of making p feet per day in hard rock. They will be installed on claims of the company, and in addition to this a considerable amount of hand work will be done.
 This report will be well received by the people of the Clifton Morenci district, many of whom are interested personally in the success of the con- pany. The Coppermines company has some of the best claims in this district, being interested in about 100 claims, divided into various groups practically all over the pro ducing belts. The expenditure of capital is certain to result in another big producer for the district.
 In addition to the mineral land the company holds a large acreage of millsite property, over which the Mo renci Southern railroad now passes and the Shannon-Arizona railway is now building, giving the company two railroad connections, which in itself will be a great advantage when the company advances to the producing stage. The millsites are located on the mesa between Clifton and Mo renci and it is at this point that a spur will be built connecting the two railroads, thus completing railroad connection between the Morenci and Metcalf mines, which heretofore has been considered an i'm possibility.

Duncan May Go Dry.

It is und erstood from good authority that some of the citizens of Duncan are circulating a petition, and get ting a large number of signers, asking the board of supervisors to call an election for the purpose of deciding whether or not Duncan will remain wet or go dry. It is reported that the petition may be presented at the August meeting of the board, hence the election may not be far distant.
 One of the disadvantages of Dun can going dry may be the fact that she is located very close to the New Mexico line and most likely a new town will be started on the border line in opposition to Duncan. Judg- ing from the former record of farm ing communities, and especially so since it only requires majority vote, Duncan will most assuredlY go dry If the matter ever comes to vote,

COppermines Company VIII Commence
 Active Operations.

During the past few week the Cop permines Company of Arizona has made good headway in the way of securing capital and making ar engagements for the commencement ot development work on it's proper ties in the Clifton-Morenci mining district on an extensive scale. Such is the report that J. O. Baylor, super intendent of the company, made up- on his return home from a visit to New York, where he met with the directors and went over all details of interest.
 The company will establish an office in Clifton and MT. Baylor is now making preliminary arrange ments for the starting of the work. Henry c. Catlin, of New York, chief engineer of the company, will arrive here in the near future and after go- ing over the property will decide up- on the claims on which the first ex- tensive work will be done. It is un- derstood that the company now has ample funds in it's treasury to carry on heavy operations for some time and when work is once commenced the rock will be kept flying. Tw08 inch

THE editor of the ERA visited Met calf and Moreuci last week in the in- terests of the paper, and while time was too limited to meet all friends we must report a most pleasant and profitable visit. In addition to our many old patrons one hundred new friends expressed their desire to be- come enrolled under the ERA banner. Though the management of the ERA has never indulged in blowing its own horn, we must confess that we were informed by our many friends in the above named camps that the ERA is the best weekly newspaper in the territory. Our beautiful premium--a panoramic view of either Clifton, Metcalf or Morenei-won admiration wherever it was exhibited and every body wanted one and in fact so many people wanted them that it will be necessary for us to make increased orders. Consequently those desiring to get these premiums should send in their order as soon as possible.

Now that the clouds have blown away and the Morenci ball team has won another victory over Clifton, we hope that the Morenci Leader will consult a physician at our sister camp and take tablet to prevent those awful fits which it usually has when Morenci wins a game. Our boys were simply not in it last Sun- day, but, as will be seen in another column, we thing the visitors are entitled to something more than blank space.

THE Solomonyille Bulletin had a few more fits last week and as usual came forth with it's broken doses of editorial comment on the ERA. Say, brother, you seem to be awfully cross lately and we believe that good dose of vermifuge will do you some good. It will at least clear your con- science of some of your foul thoughts and you then may not look upon the ERA as being such hideous creature as you picture it.

A prominent citizen residing about eighty miles above Clifton wrote a friend in Clifton recently that two couples ot people were seen in his country taking a very dangerous wood trail and he feared that they had met with foul play. He said they were horseback and came from the gentlemen knows they have never returned, unless they passed his house in the dark. There is considerable speculation as to who the couples were. An interview with Roy Way land upon his return home did not reveal their identity.

He reports his business as Hourishing since the recent rains. Rocky is greatly in- terested in the location of the county seat of Greenlee county and still thinks that York is the only place for it.
