Dan Lynch Falls in Thirty.FiVe Foot
 Shaft.

On last Sunday morning Dan Lynch made his usual weekly trip to the Prosperity mining claim, located about three miles from Metcalf. Dan and his partner, Archie Morrison, are doing some work on the claim and Dan went up to see how the work was progressing. Arriving at the mine he entered a tunnel, fifty feet from the end of which is an incline shaft. Dan evidently walked faster than he thought and arrived at the shaft be- fore he knew it, with the result that he fell into it and landed at the bottom, a distance of about thirty five feet. The Mexicans who were with him at the time of the accident thought that he was killed, but after reaching him at the bottom of the shaft they learned that he was very much alive. He was brought to the surface and though he was badly shaken up he could walk. He was badly bruised about the head and shoulders and his hands were lacer, ated. His injuries were bandaged and he was brought to the hospital al Clifton, where the doctors took charge of him. An examination revealed the fact that no bones were broken and he is getting along so nicely hat he will probably be back in the boiler makers shop next week.

THE sHANNON.ARIzONA BY. co.
Articles Filed Surveyors BuSy---AdVer-
 Using For Bids.

The Shannon-Arizona Railway company was one of the new rail- roads that filed its intention to build a railroad before the 2rd of April in order to be entitled to tax exemption for ten years, which will mean a great deal to the company in that length of time, as the building Ot this road will amount to many thousands of dollars. Articles of incorporation appear in this issue of the ERA.
 The building of this road has at tracted great deal of attention and the people of this district are great ly interested in it. During the past two months Chief Engineer J. l.. Pickles has been busy with large force of men surveying the route for the new railroad, and the work is now nearing completion. In recent issues of El Paso papers MT. Pickles advertised for bids on grading, blast ing and tunnel work and it now seems that the dirt will be flying within a very short time Bids will not be opened until May 2Oth, consequently work on the right-of-way will not be commenced as soon as was expected.
 The building or this road will re- quire some time and considerable work, and there are several local parties who are anxious to secure contracts for rock and tunnel work. In all probability the company will let the contract for all work to one contractor, who no doubt will sub-let contracts to smaller bidders.

North Clifton School.

The trustees. of the North Clifton school district No. held a meeting last week at which they elected teachers for the next term. Pro- lessor Frank Dykes, who served the district as principal the past two terms, during which time he made a most excellent record, failed to file his application with the board, and he is to be succeeded by Prof. San day, who is high up in school work of the state of Iowa,
 Miss Sophia Shirley, who taught Metcalf school, will succeed Miss Trumpus as teacher in the fifth and sixth grades. Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Nc Knight, Misses Kerby and Futile were all elected to succeed them selves. Miss Jennie Clark, who taught in the Metcalf school the past term, will succeed Miss Hendrix. | Miss Priest and her sister, who graduates from the Tempe normal school this year, will succeed Misses Jaime and McNichol. The trustees oe the North Clifton school stated that the cause of so many changes in the personnel of the teaching corps is due to the fact that the old teachers failed to apply for re-elec- tion.
 The North Clifton district is in most excellent condition financially and there are sufficiedt funds on hand to make all necessary Improvements for the new term in the fall.

The Elks are now in the field for business and are taking applications for charter members for the Clifton lodge, which will be organized just as soon as the town assumes the role of an incorporated village. The charter calls for a membership of twenty-five, but from reports from the organizing committee it is reasonably certain that at least fifty charter members will sign their names to the list. The initiation fee has been placed at $50, hence Clifton lodge will start off with a good fund in the treasury.

J. o. Phillips, Max Juelg and J. L. Await ct al are named as incOrpor ators of the Clifton Club, which it is understood will be a similar organ ization to many others in the terri tory. It is understood that a large list of names have been secured, each of whom will be required to pay monthly dues, and the club will be strictly for members. All other towns and cities have these organiza- tions and there is no reason why it should not be a success in Clifton. The Clifton Club should raise big fund and erect a handsome building in Clifton. Where the temporary headquarters will be has not yet been definitely determined, but it is quite certain that East Clifton will be the | selection,

Al Bishop, one of the old time prospectors and miners ot the May flower country, spent couple of days in Clifton last week on business. He reports that he has entered the re- tired class of the Duncan country and is now living in that city. In an interview Al stated that he thought Duncan was the coming town of Greenlee county, as it was the cen- tral location for the mining and farming interests in that section. The working of the mines surround ing Duncan creates a great deal ot business at that point.

be, quite steady and the output of
oranges has more than trebled in the
last seven years and it is still growing
and landi values are raising rapidly in
this locality. There is quite sprink-
ling of old Dakotans from both North
and South Dakota located here and
they all seem to like each other fine.
In the summer time the weather in
this valley is quite warm but does not
seem tolbe oppressive on account of the
climate. Sunstrokes are unknown al
though the temperature sometimes gets
as highlas lis in the shade but that is
what makes the oranges and lemons
grow. All the fruit growing is done by
irrigation and water is what costs he
money here. We have had few days
of foggX weather in the last two weeks
otherwise the weather hss been fine
all fall and we have had very little
rain 50 far. Today when l am writing
this the thermometer stands at 45in the
shade and the sun is shining bright and
warm. 1t looks more like a warm May
day to me instead of the second of jan
uary.

must close. Wishing The Times and
all its readers a Happy and Prosperous
New Year, / am

especially attractive features.
Generally speaking all necessary work
is progressing as fast as is desirable,
the bonds of the exposition company,
amounting to $3.50, 900, have been sold
and the finances are in shape to COM
plete the plans up to the opening, June
l, 1909.
The concessions are greater in num-
ber and variety than expected, the re-
ceipts from same very satisfactory, and
there is strong feeling of enthusiasm
among all the workers that the exposi-
tion will be beautiful in appearance and
successful in exhibits. The interest
shown seems certain indication of a
large attendance. In fact, there is
nothing now that can prove an obstacle
to its success except some unusual inter-
ference impossible to foresee.
A very elaborate and expensive pro-
gram of entertainments after the ex-
position opens and one that will prove
very attractive and interesting is being
arranged.
This exposition will be remembered,
among other things. as the one that was
ready and complete on its opening day.

Oakes is soon to have another up-to-
date store. Mr.. K. G. Kurtenacker of
Lacrosse, Wisconsin,, has been in Da-
kota looking for location for store,
and he and his partner, MIR. ]. G. Berg,
have decided on Oakes as their future
business home. On about the first of
March these gentlemen will open their
business in the building now occupied
by the Palace Clothing store with a
new and complete line of general dry
goods, la ies' and gents furnishings,
ready-to-wear garments, millinery and
shoes. Mr.. Berg is thorough prac-
tical mercantile man. having had about
twenty-five years experience and he
and his wife will move to the city and
take charge of the store from the start.
Mr.. Kurtenacker is also practical
business man now running department
store in Lacrosse. He will divide his
time between the two places for q
while until he can permanently locate
here. He is a very pleasant gentleman
to meet and will be welcomed to our
city. He is very much taluea,t up with
the progressive spirit of our city and
people. We extend to the new firm
very hearty welcome and may they
prosper.

YOURS AS EVER
"Your Druggist" and "Your Jeweler'
Get Into New Quarters.

"Your Druggist" and "Your Jeweler'
Get Into New Quarters.
The Foot drug store and the Heckel
jewelry store may now be found in the
new Walton block next to the new
Oakes National Bank block on the main
corner.
They moved bright and early Mon
day morning from their old location
across the street and by the next day
had become nicely settled. This places
the three drug stores and the jewelry
stores of the city on an equal footing
as far as new buildings are concerned.
And any Oakesite can point to either
of them with a feeling that "they are
the clear thing"
The building is one of the same width
and depth as the other new buildings
of that block, 25x9O. It is nicely
finished in hardwood, with tile floor and
steel ceiling, and is neat and we'll ap-
pointed throughout.
To the right of the entrance is the
Heckel jewelry store, which runs back
about one-third of the length of that
side. The balance of the room is
occupied by the Foot drug store, which
shows off to good advantage in its new
quarters.
Both of these firms have only been in
business a short time, but they are
rapidly forging to the front. Mr.. Foot
has been in business here but three
years and has been very successful from
the very first. Mr.. Heckel started in
business year ago last July and has
gone ahead with rapidness that has
even surprised himself.
The Times is pleased to note improve
ments and none are more worthy than
the fine row of wv buildings which
now occupy the "burned district" on
the north side of Union Street. "Your
Druggist" and "Your Jeweler" are to
be congratulated on moving into such
elegent quarters.

Edward Murray.

Edward Murray died about nine
o'clock on the forenoon of Saturday,
after lingering illness extending over
a period of fourteen years. During
that time he has been looked after and
cared for by Mrs. Pauline Boethling and
family, he having little building on the
back of Mrs. Boethling's lot in which he
made his home. At one time Mr.. MUIR
ray owned farm and farmed it near
Glover, but he became i'll with tubercu-

insiduous disease worked itself into
every portion of his system. At last it
reached the kidneys, and its work there
brought on death. He was 81 years of
age.
Since being i'll, Edward Murray has
been a county charge, and the county
