When LincoIn's Words Were Turned
Back Upon Himself.


General Robert Avery, who was
wounded almost fatally at Chancellors
vile and recovered just in time to lose
his right leg at the hip on Lookout
mountain, told an anecdote of Lin
coin which shows the great presidents
appreciation Of the fitness Of things
| and his unfailing fund of humor.
"When l had recovered from the eff
fects Of the amputation." said General
Avery. "a very dear friend Of mine
who had served long and faithfully as
a regimental quartermaster was an ap-
plicant for a position as brigade quar-
termaster He filed it with me, and
after it had been properly briefed and
Endorsed l made it my business to put
it before the president There was a
long line of people waiting to sec Mr..
Lincoln when l arrived at the White
House; but. seeing l was wounded
man, he came over to me. III take
my turn, Mr.. President said, and he
turned to receive his visitors.
1.-THE man ahead of me also had a
request for an appointments letter
which Governor Bramlett of Kentucky
had Endorsed Respectfully referred to
President Lincoln
Governor Bramlett requests that
be appointed, said the man from Ken
lucky. President Lincoln took the let
ter. Why exclaimed Mr.. Lincoln,
this doesn't show that Governor Bran
lett requests anything. 1t says simply
Respectfully referred" That means
he just passed it along. If you can
get Governor Bramlett to request me
I'll do it. Respectfully referred" IS
only polite way Of getting rid Of a
person.
"He was sitting at his desk at the
time, settling lower and lower down in
his chair until only his head seemed
to show. / presented the papers of
my friend He read them and said.
Why, yes Then he wrote on a card,
Respectfully referred to Mr.. Stanton,
the secretary Of war.
"'This won't do, Mr.. President
said to him. why notT he asked. Be-
cause you have just said to that man
from Kentucky that Respectfully re-
ferred" is a polite way Of getting rid
Of person.
''The president slowly rose out Of his
deep seated chair until he looked seven
feet tall to me, and then he began to
laugh. You've got me- said he, and
then he wrote on card, Appoint this
man. New York World.

New Power and Water Company for
 Clifton.

In this issue appears the articles of incorporation of the Arizona Power & Water company, which concern is planning the floating of an enter prise that will be of much advantage and benefit to the Clifton-Morenci district in the way of power and water facilities. The company pro poses the building of two large dams above Clifton for the purpose of manufacturing power to be transmit ted to the companies in need of if, and will be of great advantage to the working of low grade properties in this district. The official report of the government engineers, now in course of preparation, will show in detail the amount of horsepower that can be developed, though it is understood that measurements al- ready secured show sufficient power to supply the demands of the district for many years. The incorporators of the company are Dell M. Potter and Geo. F. Reed, we'll known men of this district, but it is understood that foreign capital will largely assist in the undertaking.
 Work will be started as soon as preliminary steps are completed, after which it will be rushed to com pletion as fast as possible. The first dam, which will be 100 feet in height, is to be built on the San Francisco river, unless present plans are changed. Eight water appropria- tions have been secured by the con- pany, four of which are on the San Francisco river and tour on Black river, winch no doubt are sufficient to meet all future demands.
 Owing to the fact that the promo tion of this enterprise is in the hands of men of unlimited hustliDg abilities, its success is practically as- sured. It is one of the largest en- terplises ever introduced in this dis trict, being capitalized at S1 ,5OO, GOO.
The copper era., 1909-01-28

THE closing of all the leading mines in the Globe district for an indefinite period means that our neighbor camp will be completely disorganized for the next six months, even though the suspension lasts but short time. Judging from reports, this is another case of the laboring people of that camp being forced to suffer hard ships on account of the action of the walking delegate, who perhaps has no sympathy for his fellow-men ex- cept to draw his monthly salary from the union. Globe is a strong union camp, and the companies of that district have been paying top wages, hence there IS no friction on that ac- count. But the reason of the trouble appears to be the result of the com- panies adopting a check system, whereby only employees of the mines or works are permitted to enter the premises, thus shutting out the watchful and troublesome walking delegate. With this trouble brewing, the companies perhaps have decided it more profitable to close down until the matter could be settled.

Another Match ShOpt Next Sunday.

Arrangements have been made be- tween the Shannon and Clifton gun clubs for another match shoot to be pulled off on the Clifton grounds next Sunday afternoon. The match calls for eleven or twelve me embers of each club, therefore nearly all of the best average shots will be included in the contest. The match is called for o'clock and those who intend to par ticipate should make it a point to be on the ground on time. It will be re- member that the Shannon clu3 com pletely outClassed the Clifton team on the shannon grounds a couple ot weeks ago. therefore the contest Sun day on the Clifton grounds should be more exciting than ever before. As a usual thing the Shannon boys shoot better at the Clifton traps than the consequently the margin in favor of Clifton has always been small. How ever, the Clifton club is figuring on giving their visitors a lively chase
 
 cordial invitation to attend the shoot and encourage their fdvorites.
 The Shannon club held practice events last Sunday and the following are the highest scores made out of q possible twenty-five: Sears l9, Man vile ?, T. w. Millert Is, Broyles 10, Bleinstein 20, Roberts 9, J. w. Mill lert Is, Bartholomew 9, True 2l, Nolan 16, Bond Is, Maley Is, Wilkin- son 15, Goolsby ,.
 The practice shoot Sunday after noon by the members of the Clifton club, in which only q few participa- ted, produced the following scores: Wm. Allender, 24; Burtch, r; Balmer, 10: A. Allender, l5; Lancaster, Is; Loomis, II: Dunn, b; Weiss, IS: Simms, IS: Andrews, 15.

The copper era., 1909-01-28

THE incorporation matter has been rather quiet during the past few weeks, but this is no evidence that the question has been dropped. A census is now being taken, and there appears little doubt of the camp hav- ing sufficient population to incorpor- ate as a city. This census will be completed in time to be placed be- fore the next meeting of the board of supervisors for action. There is some opposition to the movement, but if the management of the affairs of the city is placed in the hands of the proper people, there is no cause for alarm. For instance, the mayor could be represented by a good sub stantial citizen and the board of all dermen selected so as to give South Clifton, Chase Creek, North Clifton, East Clifton and Shannon hill proper representation. In that manner we could receive the benefits for which incorporation is intended. Clifton has long been ready for incorpora, tion, and if the camp ever amounts to anything like large one we will have to incorporate anyway, so why not do it now. Few citizens are against incorporation if the town is to be benefited, and if the city gov ernment is composed of men who have these interests at heart, there should be no danger of incorpora tion proving detrimental to the town.
