records for hard coal mining were
broken last week, when the total output

tons for shipment. free on board. James
Davis, a member of the board Of trad,
said:

Young Turks Ultimatum.
The Young Turks have sent an uiti-
matum to the Sultan and the new
ministry, embOdying the following ue-
mands:
The peaceable surrender Of the city.
The re-establishment Of Hilmi Pasha' 5
cabinet
The restoration of their parliamentary
seats to the Young Turks who were ex-
PEELED as traitors by an edict of the
new ministry.
The surrender of the leaders Of the
revolt. including Editor All Kemal OF
the Ibdam; Said Pasha, a son OF the
former grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha, ana
Ismaii KemaIbri.
These three men are declared to be
chiefly responsible, along with the SUI
tan. and their execution has been de-
creed by the Young Turks.
Loyal Troops May Weaken.
The certain knowledge that their exc
cution viii follow the success Of the
Young Turks has caused the leaders TO
take extreme measures to keep the Sui
tan's troops in line.
Several thousand Of these soldiers are
guarding the Yildiz Kiosk, and a strong
detachment Is stationed at the place of
the expected entrance of the advancing
army. At the first show of strength by
the enemy, It is feared that the Sultan's
soldiers will weaken.
Niazt Bey, prominent leader Of the
Young Turks, is reported to have al
ready entered Constantinople and TO be
organizing 'The Faitgul," and winning
converts from the ranks of the Sui
tRn's forces
In view OF the fact that no dispatches
have been received at the State De-
partment today from Ambassador LSeish-
man, at Constantinople. it is assumed
that communication with Tarsus and
Adana is either broken of or that the
conditions in those places have become
quieteT. There is much anxiety how
ever, concerning the state of the Amer
lean missionaries. Justice Brewer, of
the Supreme Court, was one of the
callers at the State Department today
to make inquiry concerning the Ameri-
can missionaries. Two of his sisters
are IN the disturbed district. One OF
them Is affected by an ailment Of the
heart and IT is feared that the danger
and excitement may affect her seriously.

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

The New York-Arizona gold and
copper company, on which property
there has been developed a large
tonnage of low grade gold ore and on
which development work has been
going on for the past several years,
is greatly interested in the success of
the new gold mill which has just been
installed on the Gold Belt. The most
of the ore on the N. Y. A. property is
the same as the Gold Belt ore, con-
sequently the success of the Gold
Belt, means that the New York-Ari-
IONA can do likewise by installing a
similar plant. Arrangements will
probably be made with the Gold Belt
to make test run with N. Y. A. ore
as soon as the mill is in good running
order. In all probability we will soon
have another gold producer. The N
Y. A., the same as the Gold Belt, can
soon handle enough ore to repay for
every dollar that has been expended
on development work

The BriQuette Plant.

The new briquetting plant, which
is being erected by the Arizona Cop
per company, is advancing to COM
pletion, though much delay has been
caused by shortage of needed
materials. The big machine has been
here for some time and when once
the plant is completed the company
will be in a position to briquette all
concentrates that now come from the
various concentrators. 1t will be re-
membered that the briquetting
machine is the invention of Mr.. John
Gill, chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the A. G. company. A small
machine was installed some time ago
for the purpose of conducting the ex-
pertinent, and fair trial proved most
satisfactory, hence it was decided by
the company to install a large one
and go into the briquetting business
on a large scale. By adopting the
system of briquetting the concen-
tractes, test runs haye proven that
the capacity of the furnaces can be
greatly increased besides making a
saving in fuel.

New MetaIIurgist for A. C. Company.

F. N. Flynn, mining engineer and
metallurgist of high standing in Colo
RADIO, arrived in Clifton last week to
become Identified with the Arizona
Copper company. Mr.. Flynn has had
a considerable amount of experience
in his profession and has for several
months been located at Globe, where
he was engaged in special work for
big interests. The A. G. company
has not had the services of regular
professional metallurgist for a num-
Der of years, hence Mr.. Flynn will be
a valuable, addition to the already
large number of competent men in
the employ of the company.
The A. c. company has been con-
Quoting important experiments for
the treatment of certain classes of
ores for. some time, the success of
which depends greatly upon the
methods that may be applied. The
company has thousands of tons of ore
that at present are not being handled
satisfactorily and if the problem can
be worked out it will me worth much
to this concern. The experiments
being made by the company are, of
course, private, hence nothing more
than the above has been given out by
the company for publication. Mr..
Flynn and ia mily will make their
home here as soon as they can secure
a residence

THE Arizona Copper company, as
well as our citizens and other corpora
tions of Clifton and vicinity, are to
be congratulated upon the manner in
which the Hon. W. J. Bryan was re-
ceived and entertained during hit
short visit to the Clifton orenci
district. This is the first time that
our people have had the pleasure Of
the presence of one of the great
men of the United States and the
courtesies extended to him should en-
coufage a visit from some of the
other great men when4 they are on
the road for engagements. Mr..
Bryan candidlEs, remarked that he
never dreamed of the Wonderful re-
sources and magnitude. of the Cliff
ton-Morenci mining district which he
had the pleasure of seeing while
here. He said, "from now on will
know that Clifton is on the map. -

Ready For The New City Lights.

J. H. Chilson, chief electrician of
the A. C. company, reports that he
now has all poles set and the line
strung for the new system of street
lights which the town council has de-
cided to install in the near future.
AS soon as the new arc lights arrive
they will be placed after which the
dark nights will be as bright as day
on the principal streets of Clifton.
The new line installed on Chase
creek gives the A. G. electric light
ing department one of the best sys-
TENS in the territory. The poles are
high, of the best quality and the new
line, as well as the arcs, are up with
the times. 1t will yet be several
weeks before the lights will be burn
ing.

Clifton Basket Ball Teams Give MOrenci
a Double Header.

After long declaration of superb
ority on both sides, the opening game
of the basket ball season was finally
pulled off at Armory Hall last night
and the manner in which the locals
cleaned up both the first and second
teams WAS pleasing to the large crowd
of spectators who patronized the ex-
hibitions. Professor Jamison acted
as referee and though several of his
decisions were questioned at times,
he seemed to be perfectly fair in
every particular.
The first half was opened between
the second teams, and though the
Morenci team seemed to have the
best of it the locals showed some
class when real play commenced.
Many times the locals passed the ball
from man to man like professionals,
and it was seldom that Morenci lad
got hold of the ball. At the latter
part of the first half Morenci braced
up and for a few minutes it looked as
though the score would be tied before
time was called. The first half re-
suited 1913 in favor of Clifton. In
the second half the locals completely
outplayed the visitors, adding IA
points more to the total, while Mo-
renci made 2. All of the locals were
good on passing the ball and interior
ing with their opponents at the
proper time. Jones and Horton
seemed to be sure of 4 basket when
ever they got fair chance.
The game between the first teams
was almost identically the same as
between the seconds, with the ex-
ception that Clifton made more
points. AT the beginning of the first
half Morenci appeared in good form,
but matched against our bunch of
wonders they were as helpless as
children. In spite of the fact that
Morenci has two players who are
good on interfering, our boys are so
expert in handling the ball that they
passed it from one corner to another,
and when finally landing it near the
basket any member of the team could
make the basket with perfect case.
When the first half ended Morenci
had points and Clifton had %. Of
this hummer Clifton scored almost
every point from the field, while Mo-
renci score the most of her points on
fouls. In the second half the visitors
started off brisk by making a basket
so quick that the audience could
hardly realize it, but after that stunt
the locals were inYincible and Morenci
failed to make another point, while
Clifton piled up 8 more. Really in
this half both sides played hard and
the scoring was seldom. There was
one point throughout the entire game
that was in favor of Clifton and it
was the fact that the Clifton boys
kept the ball on their side of the
house almost continually. Other ad-
vantages were the passing of the ball
and the throwing of goals. When it
comes to passing the ball through the
basket the locals are hard to beat.

THE COPPER ERA special edition
has pleased a number of our readers
and friends, but as a matter of fact
it does not represent the Clifton-Moo
renci district as it should be. The
management of the ERA will get out
a complete edition some time next
year, and will endeavor to cover
every mine of the district, provided,
of course, we will receive proper en-
couragement. Nothing will do a
country more good than publication
of this kind, as it gives the outsider
just what he is looking for.

The Gold Belt.

Quite a number of Clifton people
have visited the mines of the Gold
Belt company during the past two
weeks for the purpose of seeing the
new gold mill operate and forming an
opinion as to what may be expected
from the future operation of the prop
erty. From each one comes the same
report that the company is on the
right road for success. There seems
to be no doubt of the company having
the ore, but the question always lands
on the success of the gold mill. The
gold mill is model of its class and
has beer. a Success in many places,
consequently there is no reason why
it should not be a success on the Gold
Belt property. The lessees, Messrs
Backstein and associates, are conf
dent that the Gold Belt is going to
be one of the biggest propositions ia
the Clifton orenci district within
the next few years.
To start the mill and make neces-
sary adjustments, the services of an
expert and experienced mill man
were secured and the short runs that
have been made so far have proven
satisfactory in the saving of values.
During the first test runs the water
line was bursted, the pressure being
too great from the main pipe line
from the .Morenci water company.
This created some delay on account
of pressure reduccrs being installed.
There yet remains the building to
cover over the mill and machinery,
which work can be done during the
operation of the mill. So far the
management has not attempted to
make steady weekly run, it being
their intention to get the machinery
in first-class running order and then
getting down to business.
Up to the present time nothing
more has been heard of the water
question in Clifton, except that the
contract has not yet been made for
the installing of fac plugs all over
the town. Both sides are deter
eventually the water
is almost certain to get the
worst OF it. 1t is more than likely
that the council will have other
propositions to consider regarding
the furnishing of water for FIRE pro-.
lection,

has ever been taken from the Green
