The first automobile to make the trip between Globe and Clifton ar rived here last Friday evening. The machine was driven by Joe Brown its owner, and Tip Henderson and Frank Ringgold were brought along as ballast over the rocky mountain roads between SolomonVille and this place. The machine climbed all ot the grades between the points men, tiOncd above and successfully forded the Gila river at Coronado. During the present week several successful trips have been made to our neigh. boring camp, Morenci.

Richard nankeryiS Dead.

On Thursday night of last week the spirit of Richard Nankervis crossed the great divide, removing from this earth a typical and well known west ern character. Richard Nankervis, better known to old timers as "Devil Dick" was d blacksmith by trade and has been employed at various times with almost every mining com pauy of this district. He was a resi- dent of this district the past thirty years, and was about fifty years old.
 The cause of his death was pneu- mOnia and he was sick but two days.
 The funeral, which occurred Friday morning. was attended by many of his oldest acquaintanCes.
 If he had any relatives in this cOun- try his friends knew nothing about them. as Dick never mentioned his family connections.
 The Empire will put on the Pas sion Play" about March lst.

Clifton 26..MOrenci fl.

On last Saturday night the Clifton basketball team journeyed to Mo- renci and allowed their opponents to score a victory in the last game of the season. We will not attempt by different subterfuges to show just why Clifton Was defeated, but by a simple, yet convincing array of facts, show how it could hardly have been avoided. At best it should be small consolation to Morenci after their by a score of 23 to 5I. A team that is unable to indulge in the practice, so essential to successful playing, for a period of two or three weeks, will hardly show up favorably in d match game, and adding further 10 the handicap of the Clifton team was their being de )rived of the services of one of their regular men, and having to play on such d slippery floor as Morenci's, which is far more suita ble for dancing than for basket ball. Although MOrenci captured the last game of the season, ClI1Ion's $ five has undoubtedly shown their superiority by winning six games to their opponents ,.
 Our object is not in attempting to make trivial excuses for losing few games, but wish to show at the close of the season the comparative strength of the rival teams, and our neighboring paper will no doubt coin eide with us in our opinion, if they are animated by d fraction of the spirit of fair play which we are en- deavoring to assume. But alas. We are just d wee bit afraid that our worthy contemporary on discover ing that Morenci has finally won d game, in the mad joy that is sure to follow and in the first of victory will forget to give the "devil his dues, and lose for moment their sense of impartial spirit, and fair play which we all know is ever their watch word and motto. A summary of the games played during the past season shows Clifton to have won six gameS to Mo renci's three. which fact goes to prove decisively which team has the goods, notwithstan anding the fact hat Clifton has always lahurcd under difficulties, and have had to build up a team from the very bottom. The leading factor in the success of the Clifton baske etball team has been the absolute harmony and good fellow ship which has prevailed among the players the entire season. This qualification is well worthy of emua- Iion by our base ball team, because if harmony is a leading factor in base ball the COming season we need not fear for the result.
