THE GOLD BELT MEETING

The third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Gold Belt Devel- opment and Reduction company was held at the company's office Tuesday afternoon for the purpose. of electing board of directors for the ensuing year. The meeting was called to order by J. Backstein, president, with J. O. Baylor, secretary and treasurer, F. U. Beauchamp, general manager, and d large number of local stock holders present. The business of the company was gone over in detail, as the general manager, secretary and treasurer made their reports, all of which were unanimously approved. Nearly four-tifth- of the stock issued was represented at the meeting, which was one of the most harmon ious ones ever held by the company.
 It was decided to increase the board of directors from five to seven, and the following directors were elected:
 George Greene, Metcalf; A. A. An derson, SolOmonville; D.iE. Address, Morenci; J. BaCkstein, John Grimes, J. F. Niccolls and l.. V. Hoyt, Clifton. At the meeting of the board of di- rectorS, following the stockholders meeting, it was decided to postpone the election of officers until January 18th, on account of the arrangement of business details before the board and the absence of two of the direC- tors.
 E. U. Beauchamp, who has filled the position ot general manager since the organization of the company, md who is one of the heaviest stockhold- CTS, announced to the stockholders that it would be impossible for him to accept future employment with the company on account of the condition of his health. During his service to the company, and especially when Gold Belt was producing before the panic, he was a hard worker. J. O. Baylor, also being stockhoIder, who has filled the position of secretary and treasurer since the organizatio of the company, and whoIwas one of the hardest workers for the success of the company, also announced that on account of other business affairs he would not be able 10 remain with the company. should th'- >tockt olderS desire him to do so. The retirement of these gentlemen will place the management ot the Gold Belt in D w hands, announcement of which will be made after the meeting of the di- I eCtOrS

MINING NOTES
Pertaining to CIiftOn-MOrenci Dis
 trict and Surrounding Camps.

J w. Condell, who spent last week in the Sylvanite gold district on busi- ness connected with mining property owned by a local syndicate, returned home this week. Joe made an ex- animation of the claims and district and came home more enthusiastic than ever. The local company owns a valuable group of claims in the im- mediate neighborhood of producing mines, and with development work good results may be anticipated. So far the company has done but a small amount of work, however, d l5-inCh streak of S2S ore has been discovered almost on the surface. If history repeats itself, a large amount of pay ore can be taken from the surface of the claim on which this strike has been made. What the intentions of the company are has not yet been made public, but it is more than likely that it will inCor- porate in the near future and offer stock for sale for development pur- poses. MT. Condell, though not a mining expert, is of the opinion that the Sylvanite district is going to make good. He reports q consider able amount of high grade ore now being shipped from that camp.
 James w. Wester, superintendent of the New York-Arizona Gold and Copper company, visited Clifton this week on business connected with the company. MT. Wester has been as sociated with the company almos, every since its organization, and Eha> seen it develop from small concern to one of the most promising com reports that the company is now in a most Aourishing condition, and is oi the opinion that the close of this year will find the New York-Arizona con- pany among the gold producers of this section. The company has de- cided to install a 15-horse power gas oline engine and air drills, in order that development work may be car ried on more apidly and at cheaper mining cost. Installation work Is now well under way. TI:iS III tChInery will be installed on the Lillian claim, on which a tunnel f,070 feet long has d ready been driven. The face of this tunnel is now under the Buzzard Shadow claim, which has produced gold ore valued at $5O,OOO to the ton. The tunnel will be driven another POO feet, at which point sinking will be commenced. When the tunnel reaches his point depth of more than 300 feet will have been attained. In driving this tunnel a number of small veins have been cross-cut which gave excellent gold values. The company is now confning all work to this one claim, which will enable them to se- cure more permanent results at cheaper cost than under the old sys- tenn of wOrki-g in various places. Both MT. Wester and President A. l.. Work are most enthusiastic over the future of the company.

A proposition for the sale of lOO,- 900 shares of stock at a figure not less than fifty cents per share, was pre- sented at the meeting by New York brokerage firm, which is ready to float the stock and put the company in a position to build a gold mill, which is so badly needed at the property. This matter was placed in the hands of the directors, who will act upon it as early as possible. The Gold Belt still has a large amount of gold ore on the dump and in the mine, and its future is as bright today as it ever was in the history of the company.

THE mineral resources of the Cliff. ton-Morenci mining district have been presented in the newspapers time and again, but capitalists so far have failed to respond and instead of in vestigating the many good propOsi- tions in this district, they go to the other booming camps and invest their money. The Clifton -Morcuci district is one of the heaviest copper pro ducers in the territory and when it comes to permanency, it is second to none in the world. The larger com panles of the district are gradually increasing their outputs and today each one of them have more ore in sight than at any time in their his tory. Figures tell the tale. During the year 1908, when the price of cop per ranged low, many other districts failed to maintain their outputs, while the Clifton-Morenci district really showed an increase. Our out put for last year in round numbers reached 10000, ,000 bounds. And with a price of fifteen cents this year we could easily produce an additional 20,000,000 pounds, as none of the big companies are operating their smell ters at full capacity. In addition to the properties owned by the big com panies, there are many smaller ones waiting for the investment of capital to develop them. Much better pros poets and cheaper mining costs are the two leading advantages this dis trict has over others, and when this 1o ~H Iaannraac al ltr eastern capitalists, the Clifton M O. renci district will advance even more rapid than any of our neighboring .-a

Word has been received from the Morencl gun club, announcing the probability of a match shoot between Clifton and Morenci. Our neighbors are in a position to furnish a squad of eight men, provided a match can be arranged for Sunday after next. The Mo-enci club is composed of high average men, but Clifton can put up a squad of eight men who will be hard to beat. As this matter has been discussed for some time, it is more than likely that Clifton and Mo- renci will arrange for the match at an early date. The managers of the two local clubs should prepare them selves for the challenge which will probably come from Morenci in the near future.
