Another Death.

On last Sunday death claimed another
resident of Clifton in the person of
Mrs. Ellis Wright, who has resided
here the past several months. De-
ceased was a kind hearted woman
and by her gentle ways won the
friendship of those who knew her.
The cause of her death was an attack
of pneumonia only a few days pre-
vious to her death. She leaves hus-
band and four small children to mourn
her loss. She was a member of Cliff
Circle Grove No 10, of Clifton, and
the funeral, which occurred Monday
afternoon, was conducted under the
auspices of the lodge. Funeral
services were held at Pascoes under
taking parlors Monday afternoon,
over which Reverend Curry II. Love,
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
presided, and at which he preached a
most touching sermon.
The regular ritual services, which
were beautiful and impressive, were
conducted by the members of the
lodge at the grave.
The ERA joins the entire COM
munity in extending sympathy to the
bereaved family.

A Delay on ShannOn-ArizOna Railroad

The recent wet weather, which
caused one of the dry rock walls in
the neighborhood of Longfellow to
settls and fall, has been the means of
some delay in the tracklaying of the
Shannon-Arizona railroad. The track
was laid to the scene of the accident
and Cotey & Company were employed
to replace tie wall with trestle works.
Cotey & company perfected a hurry
up job and made the best record of
this district in the building of
bridge. The bridge was finished this
week and tracklaying is now proceed
ing at a rapid rate. A little better
than seven miles of the track has
been laid, leaving a remaining dis
lance of about three miles. At the
rate that Mr.. Westlake laid the first
part of the track it will require but
very short time to complete the
work. The company is now planning
to run trains over the road not later
than February first, after which all
Shannon ore and freight will be trans
ported over its own railroad.
The company is just in receipt of
ten new fat cars and the ore cars
should begin to arrive within the
next few days. The locomotives and
other rolling stock of the Shannon
Arizona is all of the best grade.
There Is considerable anxiety among
Clifton people to know if the Shannon
Arizona will put on a passenger train.
This will come after the railroad is
in operation, and it is doubtful if
passenger train could make expenses,
though the Shannon company will
probably secure a coach for special
excursions to Morenci and Metcalf.

Musical Comedy at clifton Theater

The American Musical Comedy
company which opened up last Sun
day at the Clifton Theater for a
short engagement is drawing crowd
ed houses every night. Last night
they delighted a packed house pre-
senting for the first time their new
musical comedy success 1.-THE Apache
Chief" The show went off with
snap and YIN seldom seen in road
shows of this kind, every member of
the company played his or her part
exceptionally well. The musical
numbers were all good. in fact,
looking at it from musical comedy
standpoint is about the best COM
pany that ever played in Clifton, and
from the applause each and every
number received shows that the et-
forts of the company is well appre-
ciated by the music lovers of this
city. The leading man with the
company is Mr.. Chas. Reilly, who is a
capable actor and a singer of note
and won for himself a warm spot in
the hearts of the music lovers of
Clifton. Jack Curtis furnished most
of the fun during the show, and his
clever work served to keep the audi
ence in constant state of laughter.
Ben Sellar, the favorite of two con-
tinents, had a very difficult part to
play in fact two parts, and he did
them with credit to himself and to
the company he is with. Misses
Majorie Dalton, Fudge Earle and
Lillian Sutherland, delighted the
audience with several songs and
dances, which was greatly appre-
ciated. The chorus work was excep-
tionally we'll done and showed care
full training. What is probably the
best about this company Is that
every member of the company seem
ed to be impressed with the idea that
the whole success of the play rested
on his or her shoulders, and when you
see a company working this way,
they are sure to make Il success of
any play. The company will remain
here for several more days, and then
go to Globe, where they will open for
d ten weeks engagement.

ELLIS WRIGHT.
The TaiIines. Case.

At the opening of the present
session of the supreme court of Ari-
IONA the Arizona Copper company
was refused a rehearing in the tail
ings case and the court affirmed the
injunction preventing the company
from allowing tailings and all other
matter to run into the river. This
was a hard blow to the company after
it had expended thousands of dollars
to remove the matter that was shown
to be injurious to farming lands
The company Immediately gave
notice of appeal to the supreme court
of the United States, and it now
seems that the case will be taught to
the bitter end. Attorneys for the
farmers are expecting propositions
from the company to take care of
their tailings, but as the Arizona
copper company is prepared to keep
from the river all injurious matter it
will be hard proposition to show
where they are now doing damage to
the farms.
II is understood that a committee
will be selected to wait upon the D..
G. company, which concern seems to
be responsible for the present condi-
ton of the river, and If Il satisfactory
arrangement can be made and that
company will take care of its tailings
ard shines like the A. G. company
there will probably be no need of
future cases in the courts.

Getting Ready For Business.

The Texas Oil company, which con-
Germ will establish a local agency in
Clifton, is getting busy by erecting a
warehouse and office on Shannon hill.
The large tanks have arrived and
are being put into place. The new
buildings are now in course of con-
struction and will be inclosed with a
substantial fence. The work is in
charge of E. A. Kimble, of Ell Paso,
who has been connected with the
Texas company for some years.
After completion of the buildings
aud other business arrangements the
Clifton agency will be placed in the
hands of another man. whose name
is not yet known locally.
The new delivery wagon, on which
is installed a tank, has arrived and
the company will soon be delivering
oil to ISIS customers. 1t is understood
that the company will confne its
sales to Wholesale dealers, but as the
Standard Oil company is also making
arrangements for the installation of
a local agency, prospects are good
for a much better price to local con-
sumers in the near future.
The starting of the Texas agency
in Clifton, it is understood, was
caused through the influence of the
Shannon Copper company, while the
Standard company is opening up for
the protection of it's trade here.
The Clifton field is large one and
both companies will no doubt do a
bio business.

Rufus Nephew, better known as
Climax Jim, returned home last
Thursday evening from an extended
visit to Washington, D. c., and other
important points. Jim returned with
a handsome bride, which was quite a
surprise to his local acquaintances.
1t was reported a couple of weeks ago
that Jim had been killed in railroad
wreck, but instead he was married
about that time, hence the report got
twisted some. Rufus says that he
has now settled down and from this
time on will give good account OF

Electric Signal in Working Order.

The Arizona & New Mexico rail-
way now has in operation its new
electric railroad crossing signal at
the main crossing just below the A.
G. drug store. The alarm is distinct
and can be heard for considerable
distance and does away with any
possible danger from the cars and
engines-provided the public will ex-
ercise Judgment when hearing the
bell ring. The rails are connected
with the electric alarm for a distance
of about twenty-five yards in either
direction from the crossing and the
bell continues to ring from the time
the train reaches the circuit until 1t
passes in the clear. The alarm is
even much safer than the employ
ment of a Waterman, as there is no
forgetting or oversight to it.
Chief Electrician Chilson now has
his force busy preparing the rails for
the installation of the other signal
which will be added to the crossing
on HIPS fat. L will not require as
long to complete this one as the one
in the yards, as there are fewer
tracks in that locality. 1t is proba-
able that other signals will be in
stalled at other important city cross
ings.

Adams will be stronger in the state SEN
