w. W. Downing and Captain c. P.
Rogers, of Montgomery, Alabama,
left Monday morning for their
home, after having spent four days
in the C.ifton-Morenci' district look
ing after their mining interests.
Mr.. Downing is a wealthy lumber
man and also owner o. 4 bank and
small railroad in Alabama. Captain
Rogers is a railroad engineer and a
retired congressman. Both gentle
men were greatly pleased with the
district and were extremely en-
thusiastic over the Morenci Southern,

ned the route had long head and
plenty of nerve to undertake such a
proposition.
Although badly beaten, in one
sense of the game, as far as spirit
goes the club basketball team are
Just as enthusiastic as if they had
won both games with Clifton, instead
of losing them. Every man has be-
come interested to such an extent
that they are sizing up every man
they come across to see if he looks
like good material for the team.
That is the kind of spirit that gets a
winning team and before the season
is over, better results can be looked
for from them. It is the intention
of the team to get as large number
of men out for the team as possible
so a league will be formed in which
every department of the y. c. and
D. c. companies are invited to enter
a team. Games will be played twice
week.
