L. w. Blinn Lumber Company.

More closely allied than any other calling to the material up-building of a community is the lumber trade and for nearly decade of years past the great L. w. Blinn Lumber Co. has played a most prominent and worthy role in the development of the Cliff ton-Moreuci mining district. And they are deserving of mention in a semi-historical column treating of the achievements of the districts varied camps.
 It is the policy of this gigantic firm, the largest in it's line on the Southern Pacific slope, to in every way foster progressive spirit and to further the advancement of the places where they maintain yards, some dozen and a half points in all.
 The L. W. Blinn Lumber Co. are wholesale and retail dealers in Puget Sound pine and redwood lumber, rail road ties, telegraph poles, shingles, doors, sash and in the building ma terial line everything that goes to make up the constituent part of any structure.
 Their yards at Clifton, which were established here in 1900, adjoin the

Thanks to the Supervisors and Clerk.

It has been the desire of the Cop per Era to print the minutes of the board of supervisors as matter of news, but in past years we have been unable to secure them except through other papers and even then they were incomplete. Through the courtesy of the present clerk and supervisors the ERA was this week furnished with a copy of the minutes, which we gladly print for the information of our readers. As it requires some work to prepare a copy of the min utes, we feel it our duty to thank the board, and extend them an invitation to keep up the good work. The printing of the minutes in the Cop per Era, which covers the eastern portion of the county, will enable the board to inform the citizens of this section of their actions in all county matters and at the same time will make it possible for the Era to print the matter while it is news. If con- tinued the publica tion of the pro- ceedings in this end of the county will greatly please our citizens and be of much benefit to our present competent board of supervisors

The Central Hotel.

One of the popular landmarks of the ifton-Morenci district is the Cen tral Hotel, especially during the past two years when its management has rested in it's present proprietorship.
 MT. and Mrs. w. A. Pitt have largely added to it's accommodations and appointments until today the Central has few peers in the territory as an hostlery of the European plan.
 In shade, coolness, comfort and con venience the Central has no rivals in Clifton during the heated term and when the temperature horoscopes a visit of Jack Frost to this sunny Clime its capaciou5 rooms are equally com fOrtable as pertains to warmth.
 w. A. Pitt is essentially broad guaged and western in his personality though by nativity a full iedged Yankee, having first seen the light in historical Cape Cod, Mass, in 1860. He early followed the advice of Uncle Horace Greedy however, and came west, has for seventeen years

The First National Bank of Clifton.

Its banks best bespeak cOmmuni- tvs prosperity and are it's bulwarks of safety in the dark days of financial stringency and commercial de- pression.
 It is true they are first to feel an advancing tide ot prosperity and to float to dividend anchorage on it's favoring flood but it should also be borne in mind that in the storm tossed seas of industrial unrest and panic they ever stand ready with a succoring lifeline for every worthy breaker-thereatene enterprise and to pilot It through the dangerous shoals of sinking credits to a safe harbor of monetary success.
 Ia its greatest banking institution, the First National, the citizens of the Cllfton-Morenci mining district have a breakwater of tried and true Gibral- tar like strength against any possible hurricane of financial disaster.
 The First National Bank of Clifton was esta ablished in 1901 with capital stock of S30,000. It has annually de- clared dividends to Its shareholders, has weathered every commercial de- pression and during the recent panic in no wise restricted withdrawals, although almost every bank in the southwest availed itself of this privilege, has at present more than S20,OO0 credited to its surplus and un- divided profits fund and its current deposits aggregate s22O,OOO. The writer questions if any other financial institution in the length and breadth of Uncle Sam's domain can make a similar showing of successful banking

E. M. Williams.

The Southern States have given generously of their most energetic, able and enterprising sons to the building of the new and great South west and throughout the CliftonMo- renci district will be found a sprink- ling of the best blood this side of the Mason and Dixie line.
 The subject of this sketch, who manages and directs the vast rami- fications and many intricate details of the varied mercantile interests of the Arizona Copper Company, is a Alabama, having first saw the light near the historic first capitol of the Confederacy, Montgomery in that state, when the titanic struggle of the states was at it's heighth in 1863. He was raised and educated in his native state, being a graduate of the Alabama Agricultural College at classic Auburn.
 Ia 1893 MT. Williams came to Cliff ton and engaged with the Arizona Copper Company as head salesman of its dry goods department. His life story since that time has been inter- woven and interlaced with the affairs of that great company and the camp of Clifton and is potential part of the history of our city.
 With the company his promotion was rapid and he soon became direct ing head of it's mercantile affairs. IF 1897 he was appointed manager of its branch store at Morenci which he wisely and capably administered until 1900 when he was made head of all the company's stores in the dis trict, embracing as we'll as the de- partment store at Clifton the large

Nj. H. Kane

The youngest of the great copper companies in the Clifton-MOrenCi district is the Shannon, but it is a lusty giant that is traversing the pathway of material progress by leaps and bounds and in no avenue of it's wide ramiications is this fact more clearly exemplified than in its mer- Cantile department.
 And whilst much of its success in this branch of business is because of its uniform policy of fairness, it's mammoth and varied stock and req sonable prices, in great measure it is due to the personality, to the energy and enterprise and the vast experi- ence of the manager of its mercantile house, M. H. Kane.
 MT. Kane came to Clifton from Montana in 1903 and assumed charge of the Company's business when its cOmmodious and slightly department store near the Frisco rIver bridge was opened for business that year. Under his management each recur- ring season has shown markedly substantial increase in the volume of business transacted by the store and it in nowise disparages the other ex- Cellent corOporate and other establish ments of the camp to state that the

been a leader in every mercantile line he has essayed in Clifton. Seven years ago he purchased the Clifton House from his brother Jake Abra- ham, it's then proprietor, who estab- lished the hostlery more than a quar- ter of a century ago. The Clifton has ever ranked as the districts lead. ing hotel and undeF MT. Abraham's infringement, it is accounted of great catering canavassories of the terri tory.
 Aside from his hotel Sam Abraham is interested in many ventures. He was one of the founders of, is the oldest director of and amongst the largest stockholders of the First National Bank and he is ever to be found in the vanguard of the pro- cession of progress and aiding and abetting every movement making for the development of the rich resources of the Clifton-Morenci district.
 Cosmopolitan as any citizen of the world he is equally at home with the rancher, prospector or capitalist from the metropolitan cities. and he well typifies the rugged strength of character of the men who are build ing the new and great southwest.

railroad tracks in Hills addition, and cover several lots of ground in which can be found any quality or species of lumber or building material at the lowest prevailing market price.
 Part of the plan of the company is to have as representative men not only thoroughly trained in the technique Of the business but who are as well thoroughly capable busi- ness men. And the wisdom of this policy is well exemplified in their agent at this place. MT. Short couples with thorough schooling in and knowledge of the lumber business, sound business acumen and an un- usually engaging personality which makes for an increased volume of business for his firm whilst adding to his personal popularity.
 He is native to the home town of the Blinn Lumber Co.,, Los Angeles, where he first saw the light thirty one years ago, has been with the company for nine years and has served in nearly allo its many yards.
 MT. Short hopes to make Clifton his permanent home and is a valuable acquisition to the camp and district

There is no name associated with the Clifton Morenci mining district more ;ndissolubly interlaced with the history of the camp and the district than that of the subject of this sketch. His father was the original locator of the famous LongfellOw mine and in his footsteps followed the pros- peCtors and miners, and later the capitalists and business men, who have built Arizona's busiest and most substantial hive of active industry the great Clifton Morenci mining dis trict.
 Sam Abraham is himself, albiet but yet in the zenith of manhood, the second oldest pioneer in the camp He came here as a lad of fourteen twenty-nine years ago and his un- wavering faith in the camp and the district ever since is in worthy emula- tion of his sire who more than a quarter Of century ago had the con tidence and requisite energy to build the first wagon road to the camp from Silver City, Grant County, N. M., which is still the great traYeled thoroughfare between these respect i've districts.

1 in like preiod of time and it speaks volumes alike for the personnel of its executive force and directing board and for the wealth and prosperity of this district.
 The officers of the First National Bank are: President, E. M. Williams, manager of the A. C. Company mercantile stores; Vice-President, Capitalist Henry Hill, the largest in dividual property owner in Clifton; Cashier, w. J. Riley, who, albeit a young man, is an old resident and experienced banker of the territory and Assistant Cashier, J. J. Kelly who is to the manor born or a native Ari- zonan, and who is probably the young est assistant cashier in our coming great state, being but in his twenty second year.
 The President, Vice-President and Cashier with Sam Abraham, pro- pritor of Clifton's leading hostlery and a twenty-nine year old pioneer of the district, John R. Hampton, the well known attorney and our present able councilman, J. G. Cooper, chief clerk of the A. c. Company and George Fraser, superintendent of the A. c. Company shelter, comprise the board of directors.
 All of the above are names that are synonyms of integrity and success in Arizona's commercial, industrial and professional world.
 Whilst all the board of directors take an active and abiding interest in the banks affairs it is but justice 10 say that to Cashier w. J. Riley, upon whom its management and finan- cial pilotage largely devolves, is in great measure due it's splendid and phenomenal success.

Shannon company store ever appears to be the most thronged with patrons.
 Prior to coming to Clifton MT. Kane for several years conducted the Centreville Butte, Mont.) store of the Hennesy Mercantile Co.,, which is the merchandising firm of the great Amalgamated Copper Co.,, and in Montana also he managed one of the stores for the millionaire mining man, Hon. w. A. Clark.
 Hence he has enjoyed invaluable experience in the branch of the mer- cantile world and probably is the best posted person in the camp on the needs of a mining district. In addition to the Clifton store he man. ages and directs the company's Met calf emporium.
 NJ. H. Kane was born in Wis consin March 4th, 1889, but immi- grated to Nebraska with his parents when d lad of six, was raised and educated in the west and is i'm mbued with its best broad guage traditions.
 Of FrenCh-Irish extraction he con- pines with the gendehomme of tn e Latin race the frankness and whole somefuluess of the Celt qualities that ever make for successful citi- ZenShip.

For years I was troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My ap- petite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality.

emporiums at Morenci, Metcalf and Coronado
 In each of these establishments everything to clothe and nourish the human family is carried.
 MT. Williams has over ninety em- ployes under his control and direction and his company transacts the second largest volume of business in the ter ritory, the Copper Queen company of Bisbee alone exceeding it. The Ari- zona Copper Company in its mercan- tile department has an enviable re- cord and reputation built up under MT. Williams management. Itkeeps in touch with current prices and pur- chasing in immense quantities natur- ally secures the lowest prices obtain able.
 And with every opportunity and temptation to sell at a high figure its prices have ever remained at the lowest mark consistent with first-class merchandise, which alone it handles. This policy is perhaps one of the most potent considerations which makes for the contentment and good will toward the company pervading the camp.
 Aside from his management of the company's stores, in all matters of general moment and benefit to Cliff ton MT. Williams has been always and essentially public spirited.
 He is president of and one of the largest stockholders of the First National Bank, concerned in every matter of interest to the camp and district and ever ready to lend the aid of his influence and purse to any movement making for their advance ment.

S. & S. Bottling Works.

Its industrial enterprises are the prosperity and the merry hum of their machinery wheels sing a sweet CT song than the peans of departed glory or the tales of triumph in war.
 And although Clifton is distinct lively a mining camp its few manu- factories are models of their kind and it's greatest industrial plant, the S. & s. Bottling Works, has no peer in the territory, telling alike of the energy of its management and the prosperity of this busy hive of in dustry.

Those who have used it have invariably spoken of it in the highest terms of praise. Lame back, lame shoulder and stiff neck are due to rheumatism of the muscles, usually brought on by exposure to cold or damp, and are quickly cured by applying this liniment freely and massaging the affected parts.
