Card OF THANH .

To the many friends and societies
who so kindly rendered assistance
during the sickness and burial of
our beloved wife and mother we
extend our gratitude.
The beautiful floral offerings were
silent messengers of love, more elo-
quent than words.
If it we're not for such true friends
it would be very hard to survive
such terrible misfortunes.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN
Will Lecture in Clifton Tuesday
 Evening, Nov. 23rd.
THE PRINCE OF PEACE.

Hon. Lamar Cobb, who has been busy corresponding with the great commoner and orator, William J. Bryan, the past month or longer, this week received a telegram from Mir. Bryan informing him that he would deliver lecture in Clifton on the evening of Tuesday, November 23rd, provided arrangements could be made to transport him from Globe, at which place he has an engage ment for Monday night. MT. Cobb at once got busy among his demo- cratic friends and the matter of se- curing private conveyance from Saf- ford to Clifton was a rather small item when the live wires took hold. MT. Bryan will lecture here under the sane condition as at Globe-that of featuring under the auspices of the united churches.
 This arrangement has been per fected and the church workers, as we'll as all of the leading citizens of Clifton, are boosting for the occa- sion, which is planned to be one of the greatest events that has ever taken place in Clifton. We are ex- tremely fortunate to be favored with the presence of such great man and orator and nothing will be left un- done to entertain him in royal manner.
 The Armory, the largest hall in Clifton, has been secured for the occasion and arrangements will be made to accommodate more than one thousand people. A special train will be run from Duncan to Clifton to take care of those who want to hear MT. Bryan; Morenci people will llso be given the oportunity and Metcalf will be taken care of in proper style.
 Mir. Bryan has two lectures, the de- livery of which has made him famous all over the United States. They are the "Prince of Peace" and "The Price of Soul.'' It is possible that the people of Clifton, Morenci, Dun can and Metcalf will never again have an opportunity to hear him, consequently they should not fail to ;ake advantage of his engagement lere next Tuesday evening. The price of general admission will be 6l.O0 and reserved seats can be se- cured for 9 cents extra. General admission and reserved seat tickets can be secured at the following places: Duncan, B. F. Billingsley's store: Morenci, Morenci Club; Met calf, A. c. store; Clifton, A. c. drug store. Reservations should be made at once.

Churn Drill Starts on Celtic.

Yesterday morning witnessed the start of the first churn drill that was ever operated in the Clifton Moreuci district. It is the property of the Coppermines Company of Arizona and is installed On the Celtic group of copper claims, adjoining the Shan non property on the north. The drill is in charge of an experienced driller and from the very start the best of results were obtained, there being no time lost. The first days run has not been reported, but as far as the ma chine making usual headway there is no doubt. The drill on the Keystone group is ready for business, but will not be started until the arrival of another expert driller the latter part of this month

Arizona Fair A Snccess.

The Fifth Territorial Fair held at Phoenix last week was the largest and best held thus far, and the pros poets are bright for this annual event becoming the best in the Southwest. The speed program this year was superior to that of last and some of the fastest horses on the turf were. entered in the events; among them Dan Patch; who paced a mile in 1:57, Minor Heir, and Copa de Ora who trotted an exhibition mile with run ming pacemaker in 2:014, both these records showing that. Arizona has the fastest mile track west of the Miss issippi River if not in the United States, as these records were the best made by the respective horses this season. Then in the automobile events, the western records for B and 50 miles were both lowered by several minutes by both the Isotta and the Pennsylvania cars. Many other at fractions were offered, the public and all received their share of attention It is fact greatly to be regretted that in the exhibit departments both in Iagriculture and mining Graham County was conspicuous by its absence, or practical absence when we have one of the richest counties in the territory in both these lines The Fair is an opportunity for adVer tising that should not be overlooked, and it seems that the response to the invitation to make a good showing has met with the utmost indiffel ence amongst practically all the people ofs fhi0 Tn fhR MlninU Department Graham County was re presented by name, and under the name were half a dozen photographs of the N. Y. Arizona properties stuck up in an obscure corner in a hap-hazard fashion and by one show case filled with specimens principally from the Shannon Copper Co.'S mines, when by all right we should have had the best mineral exhibit in the build ing. Now that the Territory has practically purchased the site for the fair the Phoenix people act as if they felt they had mortal cinch on the fair and they have made the mistake of letting the people see it. About the only adverse crititism that was heard was on the scarcity of aCcom- modationS for the immense crowds that visited the fair and the increase of usual prices for ordinary rooms. On several occasions people had to stand in line for one or two hours awaiting an opportunity to secure meals. Unless the people of Phoenix do something to provide for the hous ing and feeding of the people, the fair will gradually lose out, whereas if they will only show the people they are making an effort to look after their comfort, the Arizona Territorial Fair will each year become better and larger and the crowds increase in size until it becomes an event of al most national importance.

The Gold Belt Mill is Grinding.

The new gold mill at the Gold Belt mines was completed the first of this week and on Tuesday morning the trial run was made. After a few trials the mill commenced to operate like clock work and the lessees, l. Backstein and associates, are more than well satisfied with the first re- suits, though at this date no informa- tion has been received in Clifton as to the exact amount of ore that is going through daily. The one great thing that our people are interested in is that the gold mill will be d suc- cess, and there appears to be no doubt of it. There were not as many visitors present to visit the start as had been anticipated, due to the fact that the plant was not started Saturday as had been planned. Next Sunday will be the big day, when there will be no less than fifty people at the mines to witness the operation of the first real gold mill in the Cliff

Jack O'Leary is no More.

A telegraph message received by friends in Clifton last Thursday an bounced the death of Jack O'Eeary, which occurred at the Sisters Home in Chicago, H., on Wednesday night November 10th. The message was from his sister, who was with him until the end. Jack O'Leary was a boilermaker by trade and resided in Clifton many years, having until three years ago been in the employ of the A. c. company. He was over taken by the fatal disease of cancer, and several times travelled to the east to be operated upon. Each time he returned in an improved condition, but each time the disease returned in more extended stages, and upon his last departure he was in a critical condition. He was reported very low after the last operation hence his death was not wholly unexpected. He mas member of the local lodge of Eagles, who did themselves proud in the manner in which they took care of him. It was through the lodge that he was sent away the last time in an effort to give him relief.
 Jack was good fellow and he will be sadly missed by many Clifton friends

Joe Terrell, connected with the Double Circle ranch, which is one of the biggest cattle concerns in Il e territory, arrived in Clifton this week with bunch of bulls, which will be shipped to Kansas City. These bulls have been discarded by the Double Circle for the purpose of making room for new and better ones, which are to be added shortly. Though the drive from the Circle range to Cliff ton usually requires but few days, Joe and his cowboys were on the road more than two weeks. They had quite a time, due to the fact that the bulls got foot sore and could not travel to any advantage. Several days they did not make as much as three miles. Joe says that the next time he starts on a similar drive he will have the brutes shod.
