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

The firm foundation of the Clifton Morenci district places this camp in a position second to none during a dull period in copper prices. It is true that our business men are not enjoying a boom, but as matter of fact they are doing a steady and substantial business. The pay roll of the larger companies have been slightly reduced on account of the curtailment of extra development work and the failure of new com panies to enter the district. Just at the present time there is a large pro- duction of copper in the United States against a rather small con sumption, which will necessitate a slow and natural adjustment between the producer and consumer. In fact the present condition of affairs seems to have been brought about on account of the tactics being played by the consumers, who, of course, are looking for as cheap copper as possible. A l2-cent copper market will be the cause of many companies closing porarily and the output must be decreased before we can expect a very high price. But from natural advantages there is no reason why this decrease will be helped by the closing of any of the producers in the Clifton-Morenci district. Another reason why business should increase in this district within the next few months is the building of the new Shannon-Arizona railroad, upon which work is to be commenced shortly after April 1st. A large surveying corps has been in the filed the past six weeks and they are now operating at the upper end of Chase creek. The building of the line will require a large number of laborers for seven or eight months, which means that thousands of dollars will be put into circulation among a class of people who spend it all at home.

THE business men of Clifton often complain of the large amount of goods that are being purchased from mail order houses who do not contribute anything towards the support of the county treasury. When this question is given due consideration, it is plain to see that our business men have grave reason for q kick, as there is thousands of dollars sent away each month for goods that could be pur- chased at home. If this business was done at home every business man in Clifton would realize an increased business. In order to secure this busi- ness the business men should make an especial effort to carry the class of goods that the people are sending away for, make the prices as reason able as possible, and then use space in the ERA to advertise them. We should all realize that as long as we are living together we should help each other. The ERA believes that this business can be kept at home if the proper effort is made.

Major Henry T. Allen, of the Eighth Cavalry of Ft. Huachuca, will visit Clifton on the 12th of April, on which date he will inspect Con- pany F of Clifton. He will also in- spect the Morenci cavalry troop on the 18th. Captain Paul Reisinger, of Company F, has been working his boys steadily since the organization of the company, and there seems to be but little doubt of the.l local con- pany making as good or better show ing as any company in the territory. The boys are deeply interested in their work, which is an advantage in their favor,

THE precious pen which Governor Kibbey used in signing the county division bill has been received by Dell Potter of this city, and will be turn ed over to the republican organiza- tion of the new county of Greenlee at the proper time. This is most valuable and sacred souvenir and should be preserved to mark the creation of what will some of these days be the banner county of the state of Arizona.

JUDGE SLOAN, one of the leading republicans of Arizona, and who is considered to be one ot the brightest men in the territory, will, in all probability succeed Joseph H. Kib- bey as governor. A wiser appoint ment cannot be made as Judge Sloan belongs to no particular faction of the party, but is favorite among the leaders and will receive the ap- proval of every republican in the territory.

RALPH CAMERON has introduced several bills for public buildings in Arizona, which if passed, will give Globe, Douglas and Nogales handsome structures at total cost of several hundred thousand dollars. If he sue ceeds in securing a few similar meas ures he will redeem himself for the disappointment he received in the statehood matter.

In this issue appears the articles of incorporation of the Clifton Armory company, which has been organized for the purpose of building handsome quarters on Hills addition, across the track from the present drilling grounds.

This en- terprise is under the management of responsible parties which will result in a most valuable addition to that section ot Clifton.

The cricket game last Sunday after noon between Clifton and Morenci on the local grounds was not finished on account of the rain. The Morenci team went to the bat first and suc- ceeded in making a reasonably good score, but the Clifton team was not half through when it began to rain so hard that playing had to be discon- tinued. The visitors had a good team and put up a much better exhibition than when they played at Morenci several weeks ago.

delivery after the fifth inning.
Stovall made a sensational eaten or
a hot liner from McArdle's bat in the

nHE idea advanced by Secretary
George Hancock of the Pacific
n Athletic club of a 15-mile Mara
thon event between the selected MEM
bers of the fighting colony of Los An
geles has met with favor in the eyes
of the pork and bean youngsters, VINO
never let slip such an opportunity 10
turn few dollars provided there is no
real work connected with 1t. Most OF
the lads shun manual labor as SIN
against the community, but such an
event appeals to them, no matter now
much more of physical strain 1t may
be than a hard days work. The race
may be held about the middle of May
unless something big in the way of
fight match breaks. If it comes Off
the Maud Junction fight house will be
used.
Hap Hogan, battered in shins and
nose and sore at heart over the re-
verses of the past week, puts on the
soft pedal, as does the entire Vernon
brigade, when it comes to discussion
of the Coast league pennant chances
for 1909. The six straight beatings
they have received at the hands of the
Seals has taken deal of ginger out
of the youngsters, yet they came back
yesterday and won an uphill contest
could play in the field, since Mohler
was anxious to sweep the series.
There is one thing that is noticeable
about the HoganiteS and their leader
Both are game losers and are wont to
come back each day ready for victory
or defeat. They are playing in not too
good form. but are always trying, and
had Hap an opportunity to place some
good stick men among his boys and
70 nf f11n ~
bers he would make classy ball team
out of the Villagers.
John l. comes today. In a telegram
he says he will be on hand to meet
the boys, and therefore the fight frater-
nifty will have another thriller to take
the place of the Burns-Johnson pic
lures. Apropos of Sullivan, a little ad-
vice he has given out might come as
q timely warning to many youthful
fighter, who flushed with his first VIC
tory proceeds to enjoy the fruits
thereof and finds it hard to say NO."
This is no temperance lecture, but just
peruse John LIS statement of his ex-
perience, young fighter, and then re-
member that an ounce of abstinence is
worth all the Kelley cures in the world.
"Old Easy Life gets in under another
lads guard and puts him down and
out before he knows it's coming. No
right swing ever took away senses so
suddenly as little touch of Easy Life,
and you can get a lot to testify to that.
Take 1t from me-the real knockout
punches are the ones you want to learn.
And then you want to learn how to
guard against them. When a fellow
starts in to be a fighter the first thing
he learns is how to hold his hands; not
to deliver a blow, but to guard against
blow. It's a great thing to have the
punch. It's just as great and as neces-
sary to know the knockout and recog-
nize the knockout punch when you see
it coming as ii is to know you've got
the punch in your own makeup.
