pay ore possibilities of the Morenci
gold belt, more interest and similar
plants will in the near future be in
stalled.
On the 20O-ft. level drifts east and
west are being driven and are now in
100 feet. These drifts show the vein
to be more permanent and the walls
better defined, while the ore values
increase. Altogether the proposition
is one of merit. Messrs. Backstein
and company cannot be given too
much credit for the work they have
accomplished for the district and the
Gold Belt company as well.

The Gold Belt.

A great deal of increased interest
and comment is being expressed in
the Clifton-Morenci district over the
operation of the Gold Belt mine and
mill. The mill has been running less
than one month and the results have
far exceeded the expectations of the
leasers, j. Backstein and COM
pauy, who having faith in this
property, upon which over $4,000
has been expended last fall secured
a three years lease and pur-
chased and put in a modern 5-stamp
mill. The battery of stamps are of
$50 lbs. and the mill is of first-class
and substantial character through
out. The machinery was purchased
from the Ell Paso Supply and Foundry
Co., and is perfect as to its gold saw
in qualities; and seems like a clock
saying IS per cent of the gold values,
which is d remarkable saving. The
leasers will install in a short time 5
more stamps,
THE MINE
The Gold Belt No. l, upon which
the mill is situated and a 20O-ft. shaft
sunk, is a strong vein of very rich
oxide ore, running from 81 to $40 per
ton. On the 100-tt. level there is d
drift to the west 800 feet showing
good values all the distance. At the
SCOTT. point an upraise is being made
to connect with the surface for air,
from which sufficient good ore is be-
ing taken to almost supply the mill.
f. o. Bacon is mine superintendent
and is busy man about the works
all the time.
A BIG STRIKE
Hoyt & Sorrell, who have a con-
tract on the 100 ft. level west, last
week broke into the hanging wall of
the ledge and cut the ore for 10 feet,
the values of which average S1S per
ton. The extent of this ore body
has not been determined, yet as far
as prospected shows a fine body of
ore.
AS this is the only stamp mill in
the great Clifton-Morenci district,
and has proved beyond any doubt the

Annual Meeting of Gold Belt.

At the annual stockholders meet
ing of the Gold Belt development
and reduction company, called to be
held at the office of the company in
Clifton, on January 18th, it was de-
cided to postpone the meeting from
day to day until it would be possible
for J. Backstein, president of the
company, to be present. Mr.. Back
STEMS absence was caused by seri-
Gus accident last Sunday evening, in
which his collarbone was broken, and
and another reason for the postpone
ment was the fact that Mr.. Back
stein is a heavy stockholder in the
company, besides holding a large
number of proxies. There were
quite a number of stockholders pres
emit, but as the proxies and stock
present was not listed it is not known
if the meeting could have been held
without Mr.. Backstein's holdings.
1t is most likely that there was not
majority of the stock present,
though some of the stockholders are
Of the belief that there was. How
ever, there is no feeling regarding
the manner in which the meeting
proceeded, as Mr.. BackStein and his
partners hold lease on the property
and have also invested a large sum
of money in a mill and other i'm
provements which has been of much
benefit to the company, and the
stockholders naturally feel that he
should be extended some consider
alton.
If Mr.. Backstein is not able to at
tend the meeting within the next
few days it is possible that arrange
ments will be made to have his stock
represented and new attorneys APP
pointed to represent the proxies
which he holds.

AN ITENdIzED statement issued by
County Recorder Claridge at the close
of business on December 31st, shows
that during the year 1909 the business
the recorders Office increased con-
rably over the previous year.
e the year of 1908 there were
Instruments filed for record, for
III there was received 1892.
fling 1909 there were 2S10 instru-
Ments filed for which tAls-fecorders
office received So, 722 10 in fees. This
shows an increase of s., 1886. 10 in cash
receipts. The statement shows an in
crease in receipts for every month in
the year over the previous years bust
ness, with January holding the ban
ner, in which month the receipts in
creased S222.20. The increase in the
number of instruments fled shows
that each year Graham county is ad-
yancing to the front by leaps and
bounds. 1t is understood that in or
der to keep up with the work Re
corder Claridge has found it neces-
sary to work considerable overtime.
Judging from present indications
there is every reason that the bust
ness of the Office for 1910 will show a
considerable increase over 1909.

During the greatest portion of last
week Morenci was short of water
supply, caused by the extreme cold
weather. The water line of the Mo-
renci water company from Eagle
bursted a number of times, and as
the storage tanks are not sufficiently
large to supply that camp more than
a few hours there was naturally a
great deal of inconvenience. All of
the water supply for the D c. reduc-
ton works is furnished by the water
company. The cold wave now seems
to be Il thing of the past and 10
more trouble of a similar nature is
anticipated during the remainder of
the present winter.

The Century Forty Years Old.

Forty years ago there were not, COM
paratlvely speaking, many magazines

within that period and even trace their
origin to an earlier date. AS a rule,
each of these magazines addresses itself

Cider That Is Stronger Than Beer.

Charged with violating the local
option law, by selling cider contain
ing seven per cent alcohol, Edward
Bellenbaum, proprietor of a soft
drink emporium at 11S South Wash
ington street, was arrested Thurs
day morning by Sheriff John A. Wat
son. The arrest follows some quiet
investigations by Mr.. Watson and
Municipal Justice G.. f. Friegel. N
James Trip, John Reynolds, Jr.,
and John Howthorne were arrested
last Saturday, charged with drunk
enness. While spending Sunday ia
the county Jail, pending arraignment
in the Owosso court, one of the fell
lows admitted to Sheriff Watson,
that the liquor which caused their,
intoxication was secured in Owosso,
After further questioning, it was
stated that the men had been par
taking of what is known as "sour.
cider" at Bellenbaum's place.
Sheriff Watson phoned JusticH
Friegel Monday, requesting him TO
put the men under oath and question

cured signed affidavits from the
three men.
The justice then had Chief Bert
Hodges go to Bellenbaum place
and secure a sample of the cider, and
this the justice placed in bottle and
sent to Lansing for analysis by the
state chemist The chemists report
was that the beverage contained sew
en- per cent alcohol, or about twice
the amout of alcohol contained ir,
beer. Bellenbaum' arrest followed.
When arraigned, Bellenbaum de-
clared that the cider was part OF q
sample lot that he received some,
time ago and that after disposing Of
1t, he did not intend to order any
more. He waived examination and
was bound over to the circuit court.
He was released on his own recogni-'
zance. but will furnish bail shortly.
In discussing the case Thursday,
Justice Friegel said: "It is generally
understood where liquor is being
sold and I am anxious and willing
to help catch the offenders. II we
have law of this kind, maintain
that everyone should help to enforce
it." as

And stupid as a clam;
We would not trust the other banks,

But it is all our store.

Beneath the carpet there.
What burglar would suspect the wealtl
Under that rocking chair?
But will rip the flooring up,
And, trusting as q lamb,
I'll take those thousand dollars to

Rev. T. B. McGee, pastor of Co
runna Avenue church for the past
year, has been assigned to Bell Oak.
Rev. G.. w. Jennings of the First
M. e. church, has been assigned to
Mt. Clemens, and his successor here,
J. S. Steininger, comes from the
Burns Avenue church, Detroit.
There are few pastors of the church
more popular with all classes than was
Rev. Jennings in this city. In his own
church it is estimated that large ma.
jority of the congregation wanted him
returned and the young people were
overwhelmingly in favor of having him
sent back for another year.
DIR. Jennings has been an Owosso pas
tor three years, coming here from Pom.
tiac, where he served seven years. The
first year here, he received salary OF
81, 500; the next year the remuneration
was increased to $1,000. During his
pastorate, the magnificent total of 27e
new communicates was added to the
church rolls. Repairs and improve.
ments .aggregating more than $4,000
hpve made the church, during the past
two years, one of the finest in the con
ference. 1t is with keen regret that
their many Owosso friends will part
from Rev. jennings and his excellent
family.
