Clifton Failed to Connect.


 Mofenci took the locals into camp Sunday to the tune of 4 to o. What ever 4he Jonah" was we have to hand it to Morenci and acknowledge that Clifton couldn't hit Randall. Towards the close of the game he Weakened and the, locals landed on him for some hard drives, but fast fielding held them down. 1t may have beep7the new uniforms that. had something to do with the defeat Outside of the slump inT batting the local team played a fast fielding game and the contest was interesting all the e,way through, frOu'a spectac- ulaE, view point, though the result was disappointing to the supporters, However the people are taking the defeat in good spirit and find no fault with any of ecplayers. -sA sr- fl n tScaulan pitched his usual steady game, but seemed to have the luck against him. Morenci scored in the opening round. Webster doubled and was forced by Ware. Then Wolfe hit for two bases and Ware tallied. The locals lost their best chance to score in the second. With no outs McIlveeu and Mason walked. Caul HdS SdIe on d HelueTtS $ CuOlCe ana the corners were full. Then came the prettiest part. of the game. Randall flaming the next three.
 J In the fourth McIlveen took foul fly in behind the score board and shot it to Brock who caught Hayes at the plate. This was an exceptionally speedy play and won its merited ap- plause. Morenci scored again in the sixth on single, sacrifice and error. In the eighth, they got another for two hits. It looked like the start of a good old batting rally for Clifton when Kelly led off with a drive to right and up at the halfway house. McClearY followed with a drive to left, but Kelly was thrown out at the plate 1lScanlan and Riley also made long drives but circus catches robbed them of hits. ,+....... +...f .....

have not yet been learned in Clifton, butif the report and data prer ared by Attorney J. H. Patteu 5on behalf of interested stockholders are true there is reason to believe that a con siderable change has been made.
 Judging from the various reports issued from time to, time during the past few years the company really ought to be in frst-class shape, but it seems that all profits derived from the shipment of ores has been ex- pended on salaries and travelling .ex- penses. It seems that high expenses have always been the drawback. to the. New, England company, and though the company is but in it's in- fancy, it's treasury has beencompelled to meet the expense equivalent to one of the big producing companies If the company had a shelter and concentrator and was on d paying basis like some of the other companies in this district, its treasury would perhaps stand an expense of this, kind, but being in its present stage there certainly cannot be much chance for its success. People locally have much confidence in the New England property and since the in- stallation of new machinery and the aerial tram they have been of the opinion that the company was doing well

Capt. TuthiII is MOrenci Manager.

The MoreneiJ base ball club has selected new manager, Dr. Tuthill, which in our estimation is a most sem sible appointment. The Doctor car ries a large personal friendship in both Clifton and Morenci and in the name of a sport he will fill every let ter in the word. He is a good loser and is possessed of the qualities that give the other fellow credit when he wins; though, of course, he is going to see to it that our boys don't win. Capt. Tuthill- succeeds c. E. Tyler, due to the fact that MT. Tyler is away on a visitand will be absent for some time. It is understood that the ca aptafn will lG1remains in. charge the balance of the season, and from here out we hope that relations between the fans of the two camps will be more friendly.

THERE has been considerable talk of late about the organization of a business mems club in Clifton and the matter now seems to be well under way. Many of the business men and citizens of Clifton, who. have been entertained at other club rooms when visiting outside towns and cities, are greatly interested in an organiza tion of this kind as they realize the bene- fits derived and the boost it gives the town. We have been in need of a club for many years and there have always been many who are anxious to have and support it, yet the or ganization has never materialized, and we go along all the time talking about how good it would be to have a club. There are about 100 men in Clifton who will be glad to become members of such a club and it seems that all that is. needed is. the start. Let's make the start.

Big Bulls" BaffIe Bisbee.

In the most exciting game seen on the local grounds this season Clifton won from Bisbee Tuesday by a gar. rison finish, to '. Ordinarily the locals should have won the game hands down, but as it was they were fortunate to nose out ahead. All through the game the advantage swayed from side to side. Clifton would gain the lead by a batting streak only to lose it through some error of commission or omission, mostly the latter. Ben Fehrman started in to pitch for the locals but was retired in the third when Bisbee I-commenced to hit. McCleary came to his relief. For, the next five inn. lngs Bull" allowed but one hit, though it resulted in two runs through loose fielding. Bisbee bat ted out two in the ninth and took the lead. The excitement was intense when Clifton came to bat, but Daub- CT was there with the big stick at the right time to save the game.
 Aside from his work in the box, McCleary's batting was a big feature novelty with his roofing "kids' un- der the score board, and made a big hit with the grand stand. r..-, c
 Bisbee was blanked in the opener though Ward reached first, being hit by Fehrman. Clifton scored two, Kelly walked and took second on McCleary's sacrifice. Scanlan bunt- ed, McIlveen hit long fly to center, Kelly scoring and Scanlan going to second. Mason hit to right scoring Seaman. l -s--
 Bisbee scored one in the second. McCann walked, Wacey and Hor- schelle followed with singles and scored him. The locals scored one more. Caul's hit got away from Ward, Rigby sacrificed, Kelly's Tex as leaguer brought Caul across. Mo Cleary drove d single t0 left, but Wacey got Scanlan's drive.
 2 In the third Ward was hit and took third on Godfrey's single, the latter stealing second. McCann's grounder went through Call and Ward and Godfrey scored. Corr and Wacey also singled but the side was retired. For Clifton McIlveen singled but was stealing and Riley famed.
 McCleary trotted to the slab in the fourth and Bisbee went down one, two three. Two famed and Mac threw the other out on first. Caul got away with an inield hit, but the side went down with no score.

A Skirmish of the Hills.

During the past couple of months few days pass without strangers skir- mishing the mountains commonly known as the great Clifton-Morenci district. These prospectors, or min ing experts as they most likely are,
 meyer say what they are doing here except that they are looking at the scenery or something to that effect, but secret inquiry and close Observa- tion usually result in the same old story that they are representing out side capital, which no doubt has this district picked out as the best mining country in Arizona. In the Michigan syndicate and the Duluth-Arizona company we have already seen the results of some of those sight seers and the same can be said of several other propositions which have re- gently taken place. |
 Now that outside interests have be- come interested in this district and are beginning to learn something about the wonderful mineral deposits located within our limits, there is reason to believe that the whole dis trict will soon take on a move for the better and from now on we will swiftly glide to the top notch, which
 point we should already occupy, but for the lack of a general system of boosting. This district has been
 moving slow, but it has and will con- tinue to advance to the front until our output will exceed any other dis
 trict in Arizona.

Messrs. Rogers and Mays, mining men of note of the east and, who are Interested in the Stevens Copper company properties, spent several days of last week3at the mines mak- ing a thorough examination of the property and acquainting themselves with the possibility of the company's success should they expend consider ably capital on the property. After going over the claims and sizing up every detail, they returned home greatly pleased with what they saw and before departing remarked that their report will no doubt encourage the expenditure of enough money to put the company in good shape. The merit of the claims of the Stevens Copper company are we'll known to those who are familiar with that portion of the Clifton-Morenci dis trict, hence the good opinion of Messrs. Rogers and Mays is not a sur prise locally. It is understood that some capital has already been sup piled and work is now ready to start in the most favorable places.

THE board of supervisors, through the columns of the Solomonville Bul- letiu, have advertised a large list of increased assessments, which will be disposed of at the meeting of the board of equalization on Monday, August 16th. The list includes considerable amount of Graham Coun- ty property and is in fact the largest general increase that has ever been made in the history of the county. The Arizona and Detroit companies will figure in the highest raises and these two concerns will probably take up some time in presenting argument why raises should not be made. It is generally understood the expenses of the county government during the past two years have been rather high in many instances and the COun- ty treasury was not in as good shape at the beginning of the term of the new board of supervisors on January lst as it might have been. In addi- tion to this the low price of copper made a material difference in the bullion tax of this district, hence it is up to the board to make up the difference with a larger assessment or increase the rate of taxation. As a result of this state of affairs the board has raised all of the farming lands, the mining com Danies and also many of the individuals, hence the tax rate will in all probability re main the same as last year.

ONE of the leading objections that has been brought up against the new primary election law is the fact that candidates will be required to make two campaigns. This might be true, but at the same time when a candi- date enters the race for a nomina- tion under the old convention system he is often put to the same expense. It is seldom the case that a candidate for nomination for good paying of flee does not hustle the leading pre- cincts in the county. The only real objection that can be brought against the primary election is that in case of a contest or tie there is not time enough to settle the matter between the date of the primary election and regular election. Otherwise we be- lieve the new system will be much more desirable than the old one, as it will give the popular candidate the best of it, and will do away with the chance of trading and jobbing.

Chase Creek Company.

I. N. Stevens, superintendent of the Chase Creek copper company, re- ports that he is in receipt of com municalion from s. s. Campbell, one of the heavy stockholders in the con- pany, that it is the intention to go ahead with development work on the long tunnel. MT. Stevens has already made arrangements for cleaning out the tunnel preparatory to extending the work. It has been some time since this tunnel has been worked and in order to get down to business it will be necessary to retimber. In running this tunnel a number of rich streaks of copper ore have been cut, though the most of them are of small size. On the surface of the claim on which this tunnel is run there is a considerable amount of high grade ore and it was thought that the tuu- nel would open up the ore at much depth. There is little doubt of strik- ing the ore, but so far the tunnel has not yet reached enough length. The only disadvantage of running the tunnel is the fact that the work is slow and it will take some time to reach the objective point. How ever, if ore is found there will be an
 unlimited amount of stoping ground. General indications point to large
 body of low grade ore and as the tun- nel opens on level with the railroad and within few feet of the track it will be a, cheap proposition to work as far as transportation is concerned.

 THE resignation of Daniels as Unit ed States marshal came as a surprise to his many friends throughout the territory as he has made a most com mendable record while acting in his official capacity. His resignation is effective September 30th and his sue cessor will in all probability be c. A. Overlook, of Douglas, who for many years has been resident of Arizona and is one of the leading republicans of the territory. If MT. Overlook re- ceives the appointment the U. 5. marshalship will be placed in tke hands of gaod man. and his many friends throughout the territory will be more than well pleased. How ever, as the office is a good salaried one and Mir. Overlook is reported to be well supplied financially already. it might have been better to have given the position to some good man who really needed it. MT. Overlook has the endorsement of practically all of the republicans of the terri tory and he will receive the appoint ment without opposition.

THE appointment of a census sup ervisor for the territory of Arizona was given to Frank Towle, a leading republican of Globe. Though the salary of this office is a small one, it requires the services of a competent man. This appointment rightly be- longed to Graham county and it is understood that it was offered to this county, but as there were no appli- cants for it Gila county was awarded the plum. The republicans of Gra- ham county have always been slow about seeking political jobs, which speaks well for the party locally. But there may be reason for it. The most of the men who are quail fled to fill government positions are fortunately located in good positions and it will not pay them to accept political appointments which usually are good for not more than two years. Had the appointment of U. s. mar shal been offered to US we could have easily furnished a man,, as there is something in it to attract attention

It will be remembered that the ERA a rich strike of copper glance on the Cuprite property some time ago and it was thought at that time that the company would expend some capital to ascertain the extent of the new find, but up to the present time nothing has been done. The new find was discovered as result of a caYe-in when many tons of rock and ore filled prospect tunnel. The dis covery was made while cleaning out the tunnel, but the ground was dan gerous and the objective point could not be reached in safety. There was taken out a large amount of this rich ore and the chances are that if the will go ahead with prospect work they will open up rich body of
