Marksman Boosts for Tucson Shoot.

H. A. Hoyt, representing the Win chester Repeating Arms company, was in Clifton last week boosting for the territorial shoot at Tucson and hoping that the Clifton and Morenci Gun Clubs will send a team to con- pete. If boosting can bring about the result our clubs will be repre- scented.
 It has already been announced that the Tucson club had put up 5000 of added money. MT. Hoyt states that recently $50 more has been put into the purses so that the added moneys amount to s115O divided into five monies.
 The shoot will be at the new park two miles out and free transporta- tiou will be furnished to and from the grounds. In addition to this the Tucsonites are ready to entertain their visitors royalty.
 As the shoot is to be held during Chautauqua week the railroads are expected to make especially low rates
 MT. Hoyt says "Of course it is noth- ing to me, except to boost the sport, but Clifton and Morenci ought to send a good delegation for the bene- fits it will bring the territory. I am sure I hope they will send the biggest visiting team.

New Exchange Rule for POstOffice Orders

The Postal authorities of Clifton have been advised that after October 1 money orders may be drawn at any money order office in the United States for payment in Mexico. The orders will be drawn on domestic forms and the domestic sca'e of fees will be charged.
 Money issued in the United States will be drawn in dollars and cents, in the same manner as all other orders drawn on domestic forms, but it will be payable in Mexico in Mexican cur rency at the rate of two pesos or every dollar and two centavos for every cent. Money orders for pay ment in Mexico must be carefully drawn on T duly authorized money order office in that country. The name of the office must be plainly written and the name of the state in which it is situated given. This Is very important, as there are mum erous cities of similar names in diff erent parts of Mexico.
 Money orders drawn in Mexico will be drawn in Mexican currency (pesos and centavos) and will be payable at the rate of one dollar for every two pesos and one cent for every two centayos.
 The amounts of the orders will be in even numbers, insofar as the cen tavos are concerned, but should an order be drawn through an error for an odd amount in centavos, the post master will disregard the odd centavo and pay the equivalent of the even sum. For example, should a Mex ican order be drawn for p centavos, it would be payable in the United States for I2 cents only.

The Census EnumeratOrs.

About sixty five thousand enumer- ators will be needed for the thirteenth Decennial census of the United States, and also of Hawaii and Porto Rico, according to estimates prepared for Census Director Durand by Geo. grapher Chas. s. Sloane of the Census bureau in whose division the enumer- ators' districts are defined and fixed. This is an increase of about II, 1000 over the number of chedule-carriers in the census of 1900.
 Director Durand points out that the per diem enumerators in 1900, ac- cording to the provisions of section 16 of the act approved March 3, 1899. were required to work ten hours a day, but, in the act providing for the thirteenth and subsequent decennial censuses, the time is fixed at eight hours day. This reduction in the daily hours will require an additional number of enumerators in the DOT tions of the country in which the per diem rates will prevail.
 The perSent census law requlr eS that the enumeration of the popula- tion shall be taken as of the fifteenth day of April, 1910, and the enumer- ators must forward their returns to the supervisors within thirty days from the commencement of the emu meration, except that in any city having five thousand inhabitants or more at the proceeding census, the enumeration shall be completed with in two weeks.
 In looking into the details of the estimates, Oklahoma and Washing ton are conspicuous, as they will call the 1900 force of enumerators.

Husband Wanders Away and Wife is Dead

A happy romance of six weeks of welded life was shattered last week when Mrs. Teddy Fulwood died at the county hospital of an acute attack of diabetes, while her husband wandered through the outlying districts of Globe, in an apparently unbalanced condition.
 Fulwood disappeared early Sunday morning, while his wife was lying at the point of death.
 A letter addressed to his wife was received from him, the contents in dicating that he is mentally un- balanced.
 Fulwood was married six weeks ago to Miss Josephine Gibbs of Stafford. The brids's parents live about three miles from Stafford and about two weeks ago, she left to visit them.
 While at the ranch she contracte d a severe cold. With it came areturn of an attack of diabetes from which she had suffered some time before. Wben she returned to Globe her condi- tion was so serious that she could not walk to her home.
 Fulwood's father sat up with the young woman during the early part of the night. At about midnight, he called upon Teddy to take up the vigil. When he went to the room shortly after daybreak Sunday morn ing the young man had disappeared The girl died shortly thereafter Globe Belt.

Harriman'S Will.

A hundred brief words, weighted each with pproximately Sl00, ,OO0, ,000 and containing in the entirety the last will of Hartman, given out last week makes his widow, Mary Averill liar riman, one of the wealthiest women in the world. It perhaps is the brief est will on record for the disposal of an estate of such magnitude. All this property is left to Mrs. Harri- man.
 Wall street estimates that Mrs. Hartman will inherit realty and per- sonal property between s75,00o,0 ,0C0 and SlOO, ,O0O, ,O0O. Harriman's private fortune is supposed to have been greater than this by many millions, but there is reason to believe his un- married daughters, Mary and Carol, his married daughter, Mrs. Robert Livingston Gerry and his two sons, William Averill and Roland, a boy of II, together with his surviving sister, Mrs. Simons, and other relatives have all been substantially provided for by MT. Hartman during his life time.
 The will is dated June 8, 1903, and is witnessed by Charles A. Peabody; president of the Mutual Life Insur- ance company, who drew it, and C. c. Tegethoff.
 On Mrs. Hartman will rest the management of the forty-three thor sand acres of woodland, pasture land and fertile bottoms in the Ramapo valley and on Tower hill; the compile tion of the great house on which liar riman had already lavished S2,000,00O

 Mining History.


 The following article appeared re-
 gently in the first number of the Ari- zona Mining Journal, published at
 Phoe nix, Arizona:
 In the production of mineral Gra-
 ham County ranks second in the Ter
 ritory, due to the big producing copper mines at Clifton and Morenci. Chief of these is the property of the Arizona Copper company, a Scotc h
 corporation, owning the first mineral
 locations made In that county, in 1871. These were the Longfellow and
 Metcalf groups, which were sold to Lezinsky brothers of Las Cruces, N. M, who in 1873 built a small Mexican furnace and the following year a
 water jacket shelter. Supplies were hauled from Silver City, coke was
 brought 80 miles, and the bullion was hauled TOO miles to La Junta, Colo, operations substantial profits were being made when the property was sold in 1881 to the company now own ing it, which has paid Sl4 500,00 in dividends, and is said to have over 10000, 900 tons of payable ore in sight.
 The Detroit Copper Mining con- pany is the next largest producing property in the district, having ex tensive holdings at Morenci and oper- ating five furnaces. The company is controlled by the Phelps Dodge com pany, and its annual dividends are not published.
 The Shannon Copper company is the third large corporation operating in this section at Clifton, and is now producing copper at the rate of sew enteen and a half million pounds a year. It also owns the Copper Belle group at Gleesou, from which it is making regular shipments, and is de- yeloping, and also the Blue Slate group at Bouse. The company is now building it's own railroad from the mines at Metc If to the shelter at Clifton and effecting many econo mics to reduce the cost of producing it's copper. There are large num- Der of very promising properties in the district, among which may be mentioned the New York-Arizona Gold and Copper company, Standard Consolida ted Copper company, New England & Clifton Copper company, Chase Creek copper company, SteY- ems Copper company, Moredci-Miss- abe company, Crawford Gold Co.,, Gold Belt Development company and Standard Copper Mines company, all of which are producing ore, also a number of promising prospects under development.
 The Lone Star district, near Sol has three producing prop critics, one of which is owned by the Lone Star Consolidated Copper com pany, which has made a test ship ment. The Arichise Copper com pany owns the Buena Vista group, and the Gila Valley Copper company, near Stafford, has shipped ore and to the Globe smeiter.
  on the western slope of the Galuiro mountains, the Copper Creek mining company is operating a group ot claims on which a considerable | of development has been done and high grade copper-gold ore to Fl Paso. The property is equipped with a 250-ton concentrat- ing mill, and concentrates are ship ped to Globe and Ell Paso. The prop erty is in the Bunker Hill district, a of the Mammoth dist rict of Pinal county.
 In the Ash Peak district, near Dun can, the Ash Peak Mining company produced last year twice the quan tity of silver that it was credited with in 1907.
