 A very interesting little literary and musical program was given in the high school room of the public school last Friday evening. The room was tastefully decorated for a Halloween occasion with pumpkin jack-lanterns and autumn decora- tions. The parents of the American children were especially invited to come and meet the new teachers and there were goodly number of them time.

Morenci Missabe Company Getting Busy.

Dick Lakenan, superintendent of the Morenci Missa be mining company, reports that work is progressing rapidly on the property. There are now fifteen men employed on develop ment work on the Campbell claim, the main effort being the sinking of the shaft. The shaft is now down to a depth of 1O5 feet, at the bottom of which is true vein of copper and silver ore averaging more than two feet in width. Assays are being taken at each ten feet and the record clearly demonstrates an increase in value as depth is gained-a most lattering consolation to the manager and those who are interested in the success of the new company. MT. Lakenan is just in receipt from head quarters in Duluth of instructions to at once put as many men as he can use to advantage on the Surprise claim, on which it is expected to make q bonanza copper find. The Surprise claim is located on the same vein on which the A. c. company re- gently discovered copper ore running as high as 70 per cent. It is not ex- pected that such rich ore will be found on the Surprise claim, but com potent mining engineers have ex- pressed their confidence that a large body of 20 to 30 per cent copper ore will be revealed at depth. As the company is now supplied with con siderable amount of working capital, it will be their system 10 go ahead with development work just as fast as miners can dig. The operation Cf this company alone has created en- ployment for number of new mt n ia the Morenci district.

Prominent Mining Engineer.

Henry Krumb, prominent mining engineer of worldwide reputation, spent a few days of this week in the Clifton-Morenci mining district, in- specting the big reduction plants and specially acquainting himself with the formation of our mineral deposits. Upon his return from the mines, and he was extended the privilege of seeing some of the big company mines, he said: "I have seen a great many big districts, but believe that have just seen the equal of any of them" MT. Krumb is consulting en- gineer of the Ray Consolidated com pany and is connected with other i'm portant mining interests of this coun- try, hence his opinion and expression may be worth something to us.

THE COUNTY SEAT SCHEME.

It is gradually leaking out why the county seat matter has been kept so quiet. The scheme seems to be for a few live wiTes-working for person al benefit at the expense of the peo- ple-to get grab on all the ground at the proposed court house location. This site, after the cinch has been frightened, will be offered as a com- promise to satisfy Clifton and Mo renci, and Duncan will be a rather small potato when the votes are counted. In order to secure the SUD- port and favor of some of our repu- table citizens, the promoters are will ing and trying to let them in on the deal. The editor of the Era has not been offered a chance on the propo- sition, as he has declared himself for Clifton and is going to stay with it. And we hope that our responsible and influential citizens will refuse to enter such a proposition.
 The location of the new county seat is an important matter, and should be located to the convenience of the greatest number of the people. This has always been the system in locating county seats. The Era, like many others, believes that Clifton is the natural location, and feel it not ony onr pleasure but our DUTY to support it. We ask all citizens to study the question and get busy.

wages must be paid or that the in- dustrial worker must suffer priva- tions and penury that in the end re- suit in industrial inefficiency and physical and mental deterioration.
 New York is only an illustration of conditions that are steadily growing, more acute in every large city.
 Hon. Robert W. Hebbard, Commis- sioner of Public Charities of New York, says: "Congestion of Popu- lation is contributing very largely to the SlO,OOO,OOO a year which New York spends on her Departments for the prevention and care of disease"
 Congestion causes disease. Disease causes heavier burdens of taxation.
 Higher taxes in their turn mean higher rents and higher cost of living.
 That causes more disease, and so the evil spreads, from Congestion to Disease, Disease to Poverty, Poverty to Pauperism and Crime, ending in enormous municipal expenses for | Prisons and Police Protection. To these burdens must be added the large donations to organized charity made in every large city.
 All this is the 'City Mans Burden" the burden that the congested city lays on industry, and which in the first instance must be borne by the working people and in the last analysis by the industries in which they are employed
 The enormous burdens that the needs of great city have imposed on New York have resulted in a Municipal Debt of s732, ,367 ,O5l., on which the annual interest charge for 1908 was S24,575, ,522.
 In the year 1908 New York expended in addition to that, S6, ,962, ,O66, for the maintenance of her Courts; Sl4, ,350,- 499. .49 for Police Protection; Sl4, ,314,- 234.76 for Health and Sanitation; ST. 483, ,385.5O for Fire Protection; Sl,l75,- 145. 50 for her Department of Correc- tion; S2,2S7, ,944.59 on the Department of Public Charities, and S4 ,349, 489. 40 on Charitable Institutions.
 In that same year the expenditures of the Department of Street High ways and bridges, for care and main tenance alone, amounted to S4 ,505,- 115.27.
 As the city grows the demands for l fk ing 'rapidity. The estimated needs for money by the next municipal administration for new construction amount to S322. .OOO, ,OOO., divided as follows:
 Public Buildings, including schools, S6O, 100000: New Catskill Water Project. sl15,OOO,OOO; Subway Con- structlon, s1ON,OOO,OOO; Suffolk County Water Supply, S47, 100000.
 Add this total of S322, ,OOO, 1000, to the present debt of New York and you will have a grand total city debt of S1, ,162, 1894, ,4lS.14.
 That is a greater debt for one big city to carry than the whole national debt of the United States, which only amounts to about S900, 0,000,00O
 That is the "City Mans Burden" in New York, and it lays it's heavy hand on every industry and every worker who gets under it.
 l New York is not alone. In a few years there will no doubt be other cities as big as New York is to-day, and wherever the big city exists, there will the burden exist. The only way industry, and especially manufac- turing, can escape these burdens, is by locating factories in the Country Towns and small cities where over

Mesdames Adam Smith and A. w. Liddell entertained a number of their lady friends last Friday afternoon at the cozy home of Mrs. Smith on East Side. The party was a unique affair and the popular hostesses introduced a number of the new games that are sweeping the favor of society. Diff ferent games were played at each table and some of them attracted much fun and merriment. The odd ness of the games made it extremely difficult to determine the prize win ners, who were presented with the most handsome and expensive gifts ever seen at social affair in Clifton. The refreshments were also dainty and odd and the decorations of the home exactly fitted the occasion. To say that the hostesses were high ly complimented upon the manner in which they entertained, is a mild ex- DreSsiOn

Frank Connor, Joe Deck and several other Clifton people left Saturday night for the Bonita section on deer hunt. They took advantage of the moonlight and rode nearly all Satur- day night, reaching the desired lOca- tion. On Sunday the big hunt took place, and as usual Franks gattling gun, which usually kills everhthing in sight, was in good working order and he logged fine black tail. They re- turned home Sunday night late.

growth has not created the abnormal evil conditions of life under which in- dustrial workers must exist in the big cities. The craze for making every big city bigger should be combatted by an organized campaign on the part of small cities and towns for the location of new industries where those employed in them can enjoy right living conditions, for a reasonable cost.

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

The Shannon copper company out put for October is reported at 800 tons of Bessemer copper, being a good average for that company. During the past months of the year Shannon has made a first-class average and should show gain over the grand total of last year.
 The October output of the Arizona copper company reached the mag nifcent total of 14Ol tons of Besse- mer copper, being considerable in ex- cess of the September record, during which month occurred several un- avoidable delays. The smelting de partment is now ill good shape and a heavy output for November is ex- pected.
 Julius Leszynsky, who has for many years been heavily interested in min, ing property in the Clifton-Morenci district, arrived Sunday evening from his home in NeT York. He owns the Magestral No. ?, Copper Head No. ?, Copper Bluff, White Tail, Copper Slids, Good Site, Vallie View, Sunset, Copper Ridge, Bert, rand and a number of other valuable claims in the heart of Copper Noun tain and Greenlee districts. Prac. tically all of his property adjoins big producers owned by other companies of this district and it is the opinion of prominent mining engineers that he has some of the best property ir this great copper country, MT. Les zynskyi now securing title by patent to considerable portion of his prop erty, on which he has been spending vast sums each year on assessment work. His visit here consumed the greatest portion of three days, prac. tically all of which time he spent or his property, but on account of busi ness matters he was called home sooner than he expected. He is a great friend to the Clifton Morenci district, and is confident that it will in the course ot few years, be the greatest producer in Arizona.

Miuson's gun seem to shoot to the spot, as he killed fine two prong buck. He divided with the other members of the party and they returned home on the regular even- ing train with their sacks filled with yenisOu.
