Signals Flashed 200 Miles.

the wireless telegraph had robbed his
tory of another awful havoc of the sea-
Science has had few stranger tales
than that of the signals reaching out
from the mast of the Republic and be-
ing picked up by friendly ships within
radius of 200 miles, bringing them to
her aid. After the Boston navy yard
had been reached and revenue cutters
warned the Republic IS crew that they
were on the way, the operators on the
distressed ship were able to pick up
the White Star docks, and reported
from time to time the condition of the
ship and the progress of the rescuing
vessels. Then in turn La Lorraine, the
Baltic and the Onondaga were found
by the electric messages. They turned
in their course and started in the di-
rection of the Republic, the Republic
itself being able to direct the searchers.
When the sinking of the Elb and
La Bourgoyne are recalled, when it
was a long time before the slightest
news of the disaster reached shore, let
alone summoning aid, it can be real
lied how wireless has torn from the
deep that uncertainty which lowered
over every ship when she passed be-
yond the limit of land signaling. When
the La Bourgoyne went to the grave
yard of ships with her $50 souls it was
two days before message filtered into
the Western Union office at Halifax
telling of her fate.
"Come Quick, Danger"
Immediately following the collision
and throughout the entire day a mod
ern drama of the sea was enacted.
The Republic IS wireless at once sent
out &C Q D" messages, the ambulance
call of the sea. Translated &C O Dr.
means "Come quick, danger" From
sea and coast for more than 100 miles
vessels began heroic task to find the
danger spot. The Lucania, the Baltic
and La Lorraine were all far this side
of the wounded Republic, but they
turned back on their tracks and pushed
through enveloping banks of fog,
scanning the air for messages and
sending the word "Hello" whenever
the scent was lost.
In addition to the liners the revenue
cutters Gresham, Acushnet, Mohawk
and Seneca caught the message of dis
tress and went scouting along the sea,
and the torpedo boat Cushing set out
from Newport.
The Baltic was the first to search
out the injured ship and it Immediately
began to sputter its wireless words to
the other searchers in an effort to di-
rect them.
i Republic Sunk.
The palatial ocean steamship Repub.
lie of the White Star line, which was
IN collision with the italian liner Flor
ida Saturday morning off Nantucket,
Mass, went down at $3.50 Sunday night.
No one was lost. Her passengers were
taken off many hours before and are on
the steamship Baltic, which was off
Sandy Hook at late hour, making for
this port.

Music and Drama.

1t was an old fashioned melodrama
which the La Sale company presented
at the Orpheum last night. There was
the designing william who wanted to
wed or kill the beautiful heroine, and
there was the omnipresent hero who
is always saving the heroine and at
length wins her for his blushing bride.
There was the obdurate father who
at last learns the error of his ways,
the self-sacrificing youth who gives
up his life to save the hero, there
was country girl and a tenderfoot.
All were there and were enthusiast
ically received by capacity house.
GA Scouts Revenge" was well
the round after round of applause,
the gallery gods meant nothing.
Between the acts, filling three in
termissions, there were shown vaude-
vile numbers. A rapid makeup as a
Frenchman followed by a Spanish
change and song which brought en-
thusiastic encores filled the first
break. 1t was a hit. Then in the
second entire act came some songs
and jokes, while the third showed
some imitation work and the best
paper tearing stunt" that has ever
been seen locally. 1t was big house,
the audience seemed highly pleased
and entertained and appeared more
than satisfied at the amusement fur
nished.-Bisbee Miner.
This company will play a two
nights engagement; at the Clifton
opera house, starting Wednesday,
December 9Th. Enough cannot be
said about this clever company as
they bring with them nothing but
praise from every place they have
been. There will be a big. band con-
cert and parade on the arrival of the
train in the evening and band con-
cert at 1880 in front of the opera
house in the evening. Popular prices,

Dyer to Take Charge of Gleason Mines.

The Emany friends of H. H. Dyer,
who for several years successfully
superintendent the Shannon mines at
Metcalf, and who resigned several
months ago to reside in California,
will be glad to know that he has de
cided to again return to Arizona and
become associated with the Shannon
Copper company. 1t is reported
that within the next few weeks he
will take charge of the Copper Belle
mines at Gleeson, which are now the
property of the Shannon company.
Mr.. Dyer is one of the most COM
petent mine superintendent who
ever took charge of a mine and since
resigning as superintendent of the
Shannon mines at Metcalf has been
engaged in examining and reporting
upon many mines in the western min
ing states. His many friends in this
section wish him success in his new

MOrenci Basket Ball Team Goes Down
Again.

The basket ball teams of Clifton
and Morenci met for the second time
this season on the latter's floor and
again the Morenci aggregation went
down in defeat to the tune of Al to 8,
being a considerably stronger dose
than they received in the first game
at Clifton. The Morenci floor was
exceedingly fast and but for this fact
it is possible that our boys would
have scored the century mark. From
the very start the spectators real
lied that Morenci did not even haye
ghost of chance, although after
the game Manager Shontz of the
Morenci team remarked that he
would soon have a team that would
make Clifton take notice. The one
handed throws and perfect passing of
the ball by the Clifton boys is the re-
suit of the high scores which they
usually pile up. This class of work
simply cannot be done except by
good players.
AS guards Ghizoni and Hauxhurst
have made wonderful record in the
two games. There has been no bas-
ket made against the former and but
three against the latter. In the two
games that have been played Mo-
renci has made but two field goals in
each, the balance of their scores hav-
ing been made on fouls. In the game
Saturday Stanger scored one field
goal, as did Parsons, and Lee made
four on fouls. Clifton scored as fol
lows: Garwood 2 field goals, RemeY
2, Ghizoni 8, Fehrman 13, fouls Fehr-
man 1. All of the boys played good
ball, but when it came to making one
handed throws from the field Fehrman
certainly must have had his eye
trained on the basket. AS one of the
spectators was heard to remark, Cliff
ton is the luckiest bunch L ever saw.
But it is strange that they always
have the luck
Future games will probably be more
interesting as Morenci does not
usually give up the sponge in any of
the sports, but keep working until
they get the best. The ERA would
suggest that the Morenci boys prac-
tice throwing goals when there is a
fellow after them instead of standing
in front of the basket and passing
the ball through it. In game they
never haYe such an easy chance
especially when there is Clifton boy
after them.

Shannon Water Line to be Finished
Immediately.

After a delay of several weeks,
pending business arrangement, the
Shannon Copper company has decided
to complete the construction of its
new water line. Work was com
menced on it yesterday morning and
will be rushed to completion as rap
idly as possible. The well is COM
pleted and the machinery installed,
there remaining the completion OF
the pumping plant building and the
laying of less than one mile of pipe.
If the company makes as good head
way in the completion work as it
made when the first work was done,
water will be running through the
line within ten days.
The pumping plant is located few
miles above Clifton on the Frisco
river and there has been developed
an unlimited amount of water, in
fact sufficient to supply about double
the amount that is required for the
Shannon use.

NickeIpIate Minin9 Company.

In this issue of the ERA appears
the articles of incorporation of the
Nickelplate Mining company, COM
posed wholly of Clifton people, and
who have for some time been spend
ing considerable money in the de-
velopment of their claims. The COM
pany owns a group of ten claims,
located in the Eureka district near
Sylvanite and Hachita. The COM
pany is capitalized for S400, 900,
representing 10000 shares of the
par value of 81 each. One-half of
the stock will be issued for payment
of the claims, which it is understood
will start business clear of indebted
ness. The claims are most valuable
being located near some of the best
producers of that new district. The
officers and directors of the company
are men of integrity and good stand
ing in Clifton, which insures the
legitimate handling of all money and
business affairs.

ALTHOUGH there is no startling
activity. in the many mines of the
Clifton Morenci district, the fact is
that never in the history of the camp
has there been more important work
going on. The big companies are pro-
ducing their usual average outputs
and the new ones are pounding the
drills and developing the hidden cop
per treasures. Within the next six
months there will be great activity
in this district-and especially so if
the price of copper advances to the
eighteen cent mark as is now pre-
dicted. Like all other districts, the
low price of copper during the past
two years has greatly curtailed the
Advancement of the new and pros
pective companies of this district,
many of them having been forced to
close down until conditions improve.
With all the drawbacks the Clifton
Morenci district has continued to
grow in output even under most I'M
favorable conditions, until today it is
one of the important copper pro
ducers of the United States. During
the dull period Arizona has shown
greater activity than any other cop
per producing state and has climbed
to the top in the worlds production
and as the time rolls on we are going
to retain the lead. In the total pro-
duction of the territory of Arizona
the Clifton-Morenci district is great
factor, as the fuctuation of the price
of copper never has materially
effected our total output, while in
other camps Of the territory it has
made@a difference. Fox this reason,
we consider the Clifton-Morenci dis
trict the most permanent and reliable
copper district in the territory.
Even with this record the fact re-
mains that the copper deposits of this
district are practically untouched
and within the next few years even
greater mines are going to be de-
veIoped. As has been said many
times before there are opportunities
for the investment of capital in this
district that surpass any of the other
camps in the territory.

The Clifton Theater was opened
last week under the management of
G. 2. Dunn, who is also proprietor of
the Empire Theater on Chase Creek.
The Clifton Theater entertainment
consists of moving pictures and
vaudeville and some of the: songs are
most excellent. The Clifton is equip
ped with frst-class opera chairs and
the furnishings are all of the best.
This is the first time that Clifton en-
terprise has attempted to give our
people amusement along this line and
and while it is an experiment there
should be no reason why it should not
be a success. There is considerable
expense attached to an enterprise of
this kind and unless the patronage is
good Mr.. Dunn cannot afford to con-
tinue it. The opening programme
was good and the subjects that fol-
lowed were better, hence experience
will permit the manager to improve
and if possible give our people what
they want.

John Hampson, one of the owners
of the Double Circle cattle ranch,
whose range is in the Eagle country,
arrived this week from his home at
Kansas City on short business visit.
Mr.. Hampson can be classed among
the old timers of Graham county, as
he has been heavily interested in
cattle here for many years. In way
he is a resident, although he makes
his headquarters at Kansas City, as
he is one of the heaviest Taxpayers
of the county. He stated to an ERA
reporter this week that his cattle
were all in excellent condition and he
believed that the cattlemen would
witness one of the best seasons in the
history OF the business.

He has until recently been connected
with the Denver Post and comes well
recommended as d writer and all
round newspaperman. The ERA well
comes him in these parts and wishes
him unbounded success in his new

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

Reports from the Gold Belt mill
are to the effect that the new ma
chinery is now running at full
capacity. After installing the pipe
line it was discovered that the pres
sure was too great for the pipe and
it was necessary to install reducers.
This work naturally required some
time and of course it has been i'm
possible to accomplish a great deal
in the way of turning out the golden
metal. The lessees are well pleased
with the results which haye been OBJ
the mill will do all that is claimed
for it. The savings at the runs made
so far are good.

AT THE close of the football season
in the east last week the record
showed that there had been twenty
nine young men killed, twenty dying
and about 1000 maimed-an astonish-
ing record for 1909. This record
clearly illustrates that the football
players are each year making a
rougher game of the sport in which so
many of our American citizens are
interested. AS the young men play
ing the game are the stoutest and
best developed men in the land it
does seem that measures would be
taken to prevent the great dangers
attached to the game.

At noon Tuesday of this week bids
for the furnishing of meat to the
store department of the Arizona
Copper company were closed, ending
probably one of the most interesting
contests that has taken place over
the meat business of the company
for number of years. Quite nuTu-
Der of bids were filed by cattlemen
and butchers of this section and at
this date the successful bidder has
not yet been decided upon. The
meat contract of the Arizona Copper
company is a big one and the COM
pany requires bond of $40, 900 from
the successful bidder.

THE readers of the ERA who were
unable to attend the political speak
ing at the democratic banquet last
week, as well as those who attended,
have been very complimentary in
praising the value of the last issue, as
it contained an exact reproduction OF
the speech delivered by the Hon.
William Jennings Bryan.
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1909-12-02

During the past two months the
Coppermines Company has been do
ing large amount of work on its
claims in the Clifton Morenci dis
trict. AS the company owns large
number of claims it was necessary to
do an enormous amount of assessment
work in order to hold its property.
The Keystone drill which has been
working on the Celtic group the past
nine days is making excellent head
way downward in hard quartzite and
as far as it has proceeded is giving
perfect satisfaction. That the drill
is doing it's work well there is no
doubt and after 100 feet depth is OBJ
tanned the machine will commence
doing fast work, as there will be
more force to the blows struck by the
massive eight-inch drill. Almost
from the surface the drill has been
working in ore, which is also of much
satisfaction to the company. 1t is
probable that the first hole will be
continued to several hundred feet
depth before another hole will be
started. The keystone drill so far
has proven that it is the proper thing
for developing at depth and it will be
possible for the Coppermines COM
pany to prove its ground at a depth
of more than 500 feet. This is great
advantage as it will permit the COM
pany learning the value of its prop
erty at depth at a comparatively trife
cost. Few of the mines of the Cliff
ton-MorenCi district have been proven
at 500 feet depth, and all those that
have shown big ore bodies of excel
lent value. The second drill of the
Coppermines company will be started
in operation today on the Keystone
group of claims and from now on
their progress will be watched with
much interest by the mining interests
of this district. Within the next six
months there will probably be a num-
Der of eight-inch holes sunk at various
places on the Coppermines claims.
