BOSTON, July l0.-North Butte was again the weakest feature of the cop per share market, heavy selling from Pittsburg causing sharp break of three points to 47 3-4; some stop orders caught around 40, this also helped de- cline.

Gold Belt Mill to Commence Rolling
 Saturday.

Unless plans fail, next Saturday
 will be one of the most interesting days in the history of the Gold Belt development company when the new gold mill will make it's first run. J. Backstein, who is spending a con siderable portion of his time at the property, and his partners interested
 with him in the lease of the property, are confident that the first run will prove successful and the grinding will continue from the very start. The new water line from the Morenci main is now completed to the millsite and the machinery is all in place, there remaining only few finishing touches, hence Saturday should find everything in readiness. The build ing of the powerhouse and other covering will be done after the mill is going, as it will not interfere in the least with the operation of the machinery. Since the discharge of the big force of miners on develop ment work, more men have been taken on, but in not so large number, it being unnecessary to maintain a large force as there is sufficient ore developed to keep the present mill pounding during the life of the lease, which is three years.
 In the future the lessees of the property will probably adopt the system of contracting for develop ment work, which swilr not require Constant attention and will not cost as much money as force hire. It is needless to say that there will be large crowd-present at the5 mines to see the gold mill do it's frst.Nork, but as there is plenty of roomsarounds the mountains the management of the Gold Beltw have no objection to spectators unless they may fail to bring their lunch with them. There will be present at the starting of the mill several competent and expert enced gold mill experts who will eudeavor to correct any faults that may be found in the plant. At this date it is thought that the first run will be made without a hitch.

No Deaths in Clifton.

Through Town Clerk Ball it was learned by an ERA reporter last week that from the 12th of October to the 3rd of November there was not a single death in the town of Clifton, an extra ordinary record fora cuW- munity in which resides more than six thousand inhabitants. Yet you often hear remarks that Clifton is not a healthy place. Since the town has teen incorporated it will be az easier matter to keep tab on such proposi- tions and it is seldom that we have very many funerals during month. For years Clifton has had but one undertaking establishment and it is a well known fact that there is hardly room here for the one outfit. Ot course we have some sickness here, but our doctors are. either too good or the sickness don't amount to much, as the death rate is exceedingly low.

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

Dick Lakenau, superintendent of the Missabe -Morenci company, is now getting the property in.shape for the working of larger forces. Since add ing a new force on the Surprise claim, on which bonanza copper find is ex- pected, he is adding men at every place that will prove of advantage to the quick development of the prop erty. The camp is now beginning to afford the appearance of a live one, and before the lapse Of a great length of time it will have quite population. The promoters of the company have adopted the plan to find out the whole value of the claims in as short time as possible. This means that they will not be slow in. putting up the re- quired amount of finances to do the work. If they furnish the funds and give MT. Lakenan full charge of the working forces, he is a good enough hustler to rush the proposition. Many of the new companies have made mistake by conducting their development work with small forces, in which event it takes years to find out what the mine is going to amount to. In such cases the public naturally loses interest in the property.

The Churn Drills.

The Coppermines company of Ari- zona will soon have it's two churn drills running in the Clifton-Morenci district, adding a new attraction to the camp, It is fact that quite a number ot these drills are being in- stalled in the Globe district and it is reported that they are proving quite successful there. However, as yet they are simply an experiment in this district and can only be used on claims where conditions rare favorable. For instance many mine S in this district have been developed by tunnels and crosscuts and the ore veins as rule are not vertical. In placing these machines, one on the Celtic and the other on the Keystone groups, the management of the. Cop permines company has selected ground on which the machines will in all probability show up to best ad- vantage. In this step wise action has been taken as it would be of no advantage to the company to go to work on unfavorable ground. With the advice of Consulting Engineer Henry G. Catlin, who is putting in his time here personally, there ap- pears to be no reason why the com pany will not make good in every particular. Locally, many people are interested in the successful oper- ation of this company, as it means that eventually we may have another big. producer.

George H. Crosby, editor of Cros- by's Paper, published at Thatcher, spent a couple of days of last week in Clifton and Morenci in the inter- est of his paper and also attending to legal business. MT. Crosby is a great booster for the lower end of the valley and is of the opinion that Graham county, when division takes place. will soon force its way to the front as the greatest agricultural county in the Arizona union. In speaking of the crops the past year, MT. Crosby remarked that every farmer who had enough energy to get out and work, has substantial bank account with prospects of be- coming independent within the next few years. If the prices of farm products continue to soar as they have the past two years there is every reason to believe that our neighbors who till the soil will get the money, as the mining camps of the Clifton Morenci district need the produce, regardless of what the price is. The mining camps are Continu- ally increasing in size, which natur- ally means that the demand for farm produce will also increase.

According to the result of the big baseball tournament held at Fl Paso last week Morenci fell down at the last moment and the Douglas team by swinging on to Scotty for all the pitching, got away with the first prize. Ell Paso with Mathewson or the pivot landed in second place and Morenci had to be satisfied with third money. Each of the three winner: went to considerable expense in i'm. porting national league or profession al players and after all the game; were no better than has been seen al previous tournaments in which figured good players, but not with the reputa tion.
