4 Gasoline Accident.

On Wednesday afternoon the new tailoring and cleaning shop of Har- mon GC Williams, opposite the com pany store, was the scene of a gaso- line accident and fire that might have resulted more seriously than it did. The boys were busy working, Williams doing the pressing and Har- mon was cleaning a coat with gaso- line. He thought that the fire in the gasoline stove had been extinguished, but it seems that it was not. The doors and windows were all closed, when suddenly the entire room sprang into a mass of flames. MT. Harmon attempted to get out of the door, but the latch was on, and he failed. He was in the mass of the flames as he was working over the oil. Williams jumped through glass window in or der to get out, after which he opened the door and rescued his partner.
 Harmon was badly burned about the hands and face, though his injury was nothing more than painful. MT. Williams sustained several bad cuts on the arms. With the assistance of a barrel of water that happened to to be at the door, the fire was eX- tinguished after the wall paper aud all garments were burned. The boys have a list of all garments that were in their possession and will make good everything. Those who had garments in the shop are requested to call at the shop.

New Railroad Wifi go Ahead.

The recent decline in the price of copper will make no difference with the construction of the new Shannon. Arizona railroad, connecting the Shannon shelter with the mires at Metcalf. The price Of copper will, in all probability be higher by the time the railroad is completed, as it will require fully eight months to build it, The large surveying corps is busy and it is reported that con struction work will be commenced shortly after the first of April.
 Low-priced copper is all the more reason why this railroad should be built, as it will be the means of say ing the Shannon company consider able money in transportation charges. As the work has already progressed to considerable extent, requiring the expenditure of much money, there is little doubt but that it will be rushed to completion.

Clifton Defeats MOrsnci at Cricket.

The Athletic ground on top of the D. c. slag dump was opened with great eclat Sunday last with d crick- ct match between Morenci and Cliff ton. The eleven picked men from MOrenct entertained rather scrubby Clifton side and went down to defeat. The weight of their honors seemed to bow down the respective captains who both failed to do justice to their sides or themselves: but their cap taiucy was magnificent.
 A large crowd of rooters turned out and cheered the AIOrcnci eleven even to their defeat.
 Clifton is now three games ahead and Morenci means to get even and intends to start ill with their next game against Clifton in about two weeks.

A Correction.

A few days ago 1 wrote a personal letter to MT. w. w. Hayens, editor of the Anti-saloon Issue, published at Albuquerque, New Mexico. As to this letter l wish to say:
 l. It was personal letter and the editor published it in the above named paper without consulting me.
 ,. In publishing it, he added land this is the work of the devil" That is, he makes it appear that I am ap- posed to the proposed plans to in corporate Clifton. l have declared over and over again from my pulpit, that Clifton ought to be incorporated. I have declared that public drinking should not be allowed on the streets and the only way to prevent this was to incorporate the town.
 3. 1 did not say that 1 was abused at the mass meeting nor did I intend for my letter to be misleading; only meant that I was publicly abused be- cause some of the best people of Cliff ton heard it.
 4. A certain person received an anonymous type written letter. I am accused of writing this letter. fatly dely the charge. Those who know me best are aware of the fact that I seek a personal interview in settling all grievances. Again, do not own a typewriter and have at no time used one since I came to Clifton.

A Blaze at MetCalf.

At late hour last Friday night fire destroyed several buildings in Met calf, the greatest portion of which property belonged to Carmino Cupelli. The origin of the fire was unknown and one Mexican who was asleep when it started, was badly burned. The property consisted of two saloons and a butcher shop, besides several smaller houses. One of the saloons was located in a two-story building, with a rooming house above. All contents and buildings were d total loss, as there was no time to remove anything from the buildings. The loss was heavy one, partially covered by insurance. The property was in- sured with the Smith & Carlton agency and the amount carried was S4 ,j00.

The New England and Clifton aerial

The New England and Clifton aerial tram is now in first-class.running or der and the management of the com pany is more than well pleased with the results being obtained in the way of transportation saving. The tram has a capacity of loo tons per day, but as the company is not shipping over 50 tons it will not be necessary to ope! ate the tram over half capaci- ty. This tram will be great saving to the company, which item will al. ready come in convenient to the company under the present low price of copper. From now on the New England company will be in a better position to meet coalitions than ever before. They have plenty of ore at the Copper King and it is also re ported that the ore supply at the Antietam is good.

The Shannon copper company, which concern now owns q controlling interest in the Clifton Northern rail- road, is increasing the bin capacity at the end of the tram road in North Clifton. At the present date the capacity is about three narrow>gauGe cars per day, which will be doubled when the new work is completed. This increase is absolutely necessary. owing to the fact that the New Eng land company has increased its ship ments from the Copper King and the Shannon is now securing its lime rock from its own quarries up the Frisco river. Another camp which is being opened up by the Shannon and more than likely will develop into a shipper in the near future, is the Weaver group, located in the same district. The shannon also have the Greenlee group up the river, hence it will be seen that in the not far distant future, it may be necessary to operate the tram road day and night. as well as increase the capacity of the bins.

Strike ParaIyzes Railroads.

st. Paul. Minn.-Every line of in.
dustry in the Northwest depending on
the movement of supplies is seriously
affected by the strike of the railroad
switchmen which began at 6 O'Clock
Tuesday evening.
1t is estimated that upward of H.
900 men are idle on account of the
strike order; thousands of freight han
dlers and teamsters are losing time,
because of the freight blockade, and a
continuance of the strike for several
days will throw additional thousands
out of work.
The railroad yards in all terminal
cities are filled with stalled freight
trains and an attempt to move few
by the aid of the office men drafted
as switchmen is making no impress
sion.
The railroad managers committee
announced Wednesday that they were
bringing to st. Paul new switchmGn
to take the places of the strikers. To
this, President Hawley of the Switch
mems Union of North America said !:
"All right; let them come; we will
not object"

S.PREPARES TO
PUNISH zELAYA
SECRETARY KNOX BRANDS MICA
RAGUAN PRESIDENT AS A
BAD MAN GENE RALLY.
WAR SEEMS IMMINENT
INSURGENTS VIRTUALLY REcoG-
NlZED, BUT ALL PARTIES
HELD RESPONSIBLE.

Washington.-Secre of State
Knox late Wednesday returned the
passports of Felipe Rodriguez, charge
'affaires of the NicGraguan legation,
with a letter scathingly denouncing
the Zelayan administration of the gov
ernment of Nicaragua. The letter is
definitely declared to represent the
views of President Taft, and is about
as plain spoken as anything emanat-
ing from the State Department in
many years.
The extraordinary feature of the let
ter is that it seems to evidence an in
tention on the part of the United
States to hold President Zelaya per-
sonally responsible for the alleged tor
ture and execution of the Americans,
Cannon and Grace, and exhibits the
unique situation of one government
holding the chief executive of another
practically as a common malefactor.
Zelaya is branded as a violator of
solemn International conventions,
disturber of the national and interna-
tional peace, tyrant whose admins
tration has been blot upon the name
of good government
Secretary Knox virtually announces
the recognition of the Nicaraguan rev.
olutionists, declares it to be the con-
viction of the United States that the
revolution represents the sentiments
of a majority of the Nicaraguan peo-
ple,, and that there is evidently no re-
sponsible government with which the
United States can deal. He therefore
announces that all parties will be held
accountable for their actions as af-
fecting the interests of Americans and
the peace of Central America.
He further informs Senor Rodriguez
that while he has lost his diplomatic
quality, he may still serve as an 'un-
Official channel of communication
with the faction which he is regarded
as representing.
This brings the crisis as near to the
status of war as it could be brought
by executive action without a definite
declaration by Congress, which will
| convene next Monday.
Knox's letter, in all but so many
words, makes it plain that the action
represents the wish and attitude of all
the Central American states with the
single exception of Honduras, which Is
regarded here as entirely dominated
by Zelaya.
Mexico has all along shown its SYM
pathy with the. United States in this
matter.

Andrews Confident of Statehood.

Washington.-Delega William H.
Andrews of New Mexico, who reached
here Wednesday, says the opinion
prevails in the territory that Congress
will at the coming session admit the
territory to statehood. Both political
parties in their last national platforms
were pledged to the admission of the
territory and there is no good reason
why Congress should not carry these
pledges into effect daring the coming
