The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1910-03-17
Arizona in the EARLY Sixties

son August 2T we made fifteen
miles east, crossing two streams
which are branches of the Gila. We
met Indians today who 1 think are
not Apache Tontos, as they do not
speak any Spanish and refused TO
answer our questions. We obtained
from them over $500 worth of gold
for a few old articles of clothing.
The Indians use gold bullets for their
guns. They are of different sizes and
each Indian carries a pouch of them.
We saw an Indian load his gun with
one large and three small gold bullets
to shoot a rabbit"
The foregoing excerpt is taken
from what is believed to be the oldest
Arizona paper in existence. 1t is a
copy of the Arizona Miner, printed
at Prescott in 1866, and is the priced
possession of J. F. Champion, a pio-
neer resident of Globe. The item
published above is part of the history
of F. Y. Audrey's journey through
Arizona in 1853, all of which is pub
lished in the Miner. 1t tells of bat
ties with the Indians and other hard
ships encountered by the early pio-
neers of the territory. Audrey, a
few years after his trip through the
territory, was shot and killed in a
saloon Gght at Santa Fe, N. NJ.

Machinery Exhibit at Convention.

According to present indications
delegates and visitors to Los An
geles during convention week of the
American Mining congress from Sep
tember 26 to October l will be given
the opportunity of inspecting an ex-
position which will embrace mining
and oil machinery of all kinds, in
motion, -models of some of the fam
GUS mines OF the southwest and a
comprehensive collection of ores arr
oil samples from every tributary dis
trict.
The matter was discussed at a
meeting of the directors of the Sierra
Madre club and it was the unanimous
opinion that such a work should he
undertaken. If possible, a central
for the exposition and small admis-
sion fee viii be charged to coYer ex-
penses. Should profit result, every
dollar will be passed to the credit of
the American mining congress to aid
its fight for recognition of the min
ing industry at Washington.
1t is expected that the idea will
prove popular with southwestern
manufacturers of special machinery
and that large exhibits will be pro
vided by the large firms which have
branch houses in this city and San
Francisco. The chamber of mines
will be asked to take charge of the
mineral collection. Preli miuary
plans for the congress conyention are
gradually taking shape and answers
TO ,equests for cooperation from out
side points are coming in. President
f. D. Johnston, of the San Diego
chamber of mines, has been elected
to represent that organization on the
advisory committee

Utah Copper G-es on So Per Year
Dividend Basis April.

Charles NJ. McNeill, president of
the Utah Copper Co., on his return to
Colorado Springs, made the announce
ment that beginning with the first
quarterly payment on April l, the
company will adopt dividend basis of
So a share a year. Previously the
Utah company has been paying so
cents a quarter on 100000 shares, the
increase being due to the recent
merger with the Boston Consolidated
Copper Company.
MIR. MCNEIL announces provisions
have been made to increase the pro-
duction to between $40, 1000, 900 and
14O, ,OOO,O 900 pounds of copper annually
and on the former figure he expects
an annual profit of S6,5O0,O00 on a
134 cent copper market. If the COM
pany does not take over any Nevada
Consolidated stock its capitalization
will be LIS, 500 shares. Mr.. McNeill
estimates total of OO,OOO,O 900 tons
the property of the Utah and Boston
companies carrying an average of
5-8 per cent. copper, with total
yield of 1900, O,OOO,O 900 pounds. Figur-
ing on an average profit of FIVE cents
per pound he estimates a total
ultimate profit of $23O,OOO.

ing upon the case the saloon will be
allowed to continue open until the
matter is decided.
"That license law was never made
for place like Lowell" said Mayor
Neale. "That is what I'll make my
fight on before the supreme court,
and think the renewal proposition
will be set aside as far as it applies
to the town down the canyon"
If by any chance the supreme
court should think otherwise, the
petition plan coupled with the in
junction gotten out by Attorney
Gibson of the Anti-Saloon league,
will result in every saloon in Lowell
being closed for good, as fast as the
licenses expire. The incorporation of
Lowell would save them, but this
idea is said to have been abandoned
Incorporation as part of Bisbee,
however, would assure the saloonist
protection of their business interests

Lowell Saloons to Enter An Appeal.

The supreme court will be asked to
pass upon the saloon troubles at
Lowell at its coming session and
Mayor George Neale, who is attorney
for Fitzsimmons x Jennings and
Schmidt & Toland. proprietors of the
Legal Tender and White House
saloons respectively, has every rea-
son to believe the court will reverse
the ruling regarding the license re-
newal as far as Lowell is concerned.
The mayor returned from Tomb
stone. He presented to the board of
supervisors the petition of his four
clients for license renewal. They
were promptly turned down, as eX-
pected, the board claiming that they
did not have the necessary so per
cent. of the resident signatures.
The White House has been closed
since the last of February. The

New Prohibition Law Passed by the
Senate to Prevent Sale Of Liquor
Near Reservations.
Near RESERVATIONS.

Unless a bill now before Congress
is killed in the lower House, practi-
cally the entire Territory of Arizona
will become a prohibition district.
The proposed law, known as the
Hamilton Owens bill, in its present
form, prohibits the sale of intoxicants
in any Territory of the United States
within twenty-five miles of an Indian
reservation. As reservations are
numerous and extensive in this part
of the country, the effect of such a
law is easily apparent, says the Silver
Belt.
The Hamilton-Owens bill originated
in the Senate and has already passed
the upper House. From the furore
which it has aroused, the bill promises
to be bitterly fought i'll the Houses of
Representatives.
In Gila County, there is hardly a
village, with the exception of Payson,
which is not within the twenty-five
mile limit. Globe - almost sur
rounded by reservations and the dry
zone would cover all of the Globe
district.
In Graham County, the Gila Valley
ana the eastern part of the county
will be within the radius prescribed
by the law, and will be dry.
Apparently the only relief from
this bill is to be found in the final
paragraph OF the first section, which
provides that liquors may be sold
within the twenty-five mile limit by
consent of the Department of the
Interior.
If such consent can be obtained,
which is as yet an unsettled question,
all liquor traffic in the affected dist
tricts will apparently be taken out of
the jurisdiction of the Territory and
the different counties and placed
directly nnder the supervision of the
Department of the Interior.

Ray Consolidated Sued For Big Damages

Three damage suits for S25, 900 each
haye been filed against the Ray Con-
solidated Mines company as the re-
suit of the explosion February 6,
near Kelvin, alongside the right-of
way of the narrow gauge railroad
owned by the company, in which
seven men were blown to pieces.
The suits are filed by Mr.. NJ. P.
Griffin, mother of j. c. Griffin, of
Phoenix, who was killed; w. j. Cole
man, father of r. y. Coleman, of
Salt Lake City, killed, and Mr.. Free
land, father of w. II. Freeland, of
Salt Lake City, killed.
The complaints : based on al
legged new information. At the time
of the explosion it was announced
that the cause was misfired blasts
planted in pursuance with widening
the railroad grade. 1t is now claim
ed that the blast was ninety kegs of
black powder planted in a little tun-
mel in hill near the track and seem
ingly forgotten. Anyhow, the fore
man who fired the blast knew nothing
of it and, seeing the fuse, supposed
it was from a small misfred shot.
The suits were filed at Florence, in
Piual county.

Joe Finch Secures Job of Counting
AbOrieineS.

Joseph F. Finch of Globe will be
named as special agent of the census
bureau, to have charge of the Indian
census throughout the territory.
According to telegraphic advices
Finch's appointment has been recon-
meuded by Representative Ralph H.
Cameron and it is expected that the
appointment will be made within the
next few days.
The position of special agent for
the Indian census of Arizona was
originally offered to Roy H. Davidson,
who is now holding down position as
deputy assessor under Bob Merritt.
After considering the matter, David
son decided to stick with the county
Job and declined the offer.
Representative Cameron was then
asked by wire to recommend Joe
Finch for the place and as Joe's Gre
dentials as a live young republican
were strictly down to the minute, his
recommendation followed.
Finch's duties as special agent will
begin on April 18th. He will have
charge of the Indian census through
out the territory, under the direction
of Supervisor F. F. Towle and will be
required, through the assistance of
the various Indian agents throughout
the territory, to secure an accurate
inventory of all wards of the govern
ment living in Arizona.
Three months will be allowed for
the completion of the work. The
position carries good salary, with an
allowance for all travelling expenses
and as the result, Joe is being con-
graduated about town on landing the
new iob.-Globe Belt.

Biz Herd of Goats is Subject of Litigation

AS the result of the alleged misdp-
preparation of herd of nearly 1900
goats, Leonardo Garcia last week
brought suit against w. F. Hagan to
recover damages to the extent of
So, 900 and to secure possession of the
goats in litigation.
According to Garcia's complaint,
on August 10, 1908, J. c. Gatti gave
to the plaintiff and J. D. Lee lease
on a herd of 1OO6 goats, the lessees to
have one-half of all of the increase
of the flock and one half of the mohair
from sthe flock, for d period OF two
years.
Garcia claims that the provisions
of the contract, regarding the care
of the goats were carried out and
that on February 16 of this year,
there were 1874 animals in the herd.
At this time, he claims that Hagan
without any right, took forcible pos
session of the goats and has since
retained charge of them.
The plaintiff, who has purchased
the interest of his partner, claims
that he has been damaged to the ex-
tent of $1,000 by the misappropriation
of the goats and when the matter
comes to trial will attempt to recover
this amount, as we'll as the animals in
question.

Maybe you have heard your father

But that isn't the kind of octopus
