Off for a Pleasure Trip.

Mr.. J. James, who holds a RESPONSE
BILE position with the store depart
ment of the Shannon copper company
at Metcalf, passed through Clifton
Tuesday, en- route to Texas and
Alabama, in which states he will
spend a month on a pleasure trip.
Mr.. James is one of the old timers of
Metcalf and during his residence
there he has accumulated a consider
able amount of property, besides be-
ing interested in cattle in the upper
section. He has recently prepared a
neat little residence in the vicinity
of Metcalf, which has naturally
aroused the suspicion of his most in
innate friends and it is their opinion
that all he needs to make it complete
is a housekeeper to look after it.
Mr.. James is popular young man
and his many friends will be glad to
welcome Mrs. James upon her arrival
to this section, which will be within
the next month. From the inform
alton at hand the ERA is certain that
the wedding will take place during
this trip. but we are not informed as
to whether it will take place in Texas
or Alabama. The ERA extends con-
gratula tions in advance.

time residents of Morenci, and who

weather.
Ex-senator Stephen W. Dorsey, to
whom is due the promotion of the
Arizona Morenci mining company,
which concern owns about 100 mining
claims in this district, returned to
his home in the east this morning,
after having spent a few days here
on business connected with the COM
pany. In speaking of the future of
the company the senator stated that
there would be no great display OF
activity, but that the company would
continue development work as rapidly
as possible, the main object being TO
prove up the ore bodies first, after
which the company will take up the
proposition of reduction works. The
Arizona Morenci company, of which
]. o. Baylor is superintendent,
executed a full amount of annual as
sessment work on every claim owned
by the company, for the year 1909, in
fact it was the most complete work
that has ever been performed in the
district. AS a result the company
had no trouble whatever in holding it's
properties. 1t is now quite evident
that the Acknowledgement company is
a permanent and substantial fixture
in the Clifton-Morenci district.
Captain Pollgreen, who has had
charge of the local Salvation Army
work, and who has made such a grand

since the establishment of the work
in Clifton and just recently have sue
ceeded, through the kindness of the

ness, hence they will leave the field
open to their successor in much bet
ter shape than when they enetered
it. Their successor has not yet been
named. During their stay in Clifton
done a great deal of charity work,
which has won for them the friend
ship of the entire neighborhood.
Whenever anybody was found in dis
tress they were always ready to help
them. In speaking to Mr.. Pollgreen
he in informed an ERA reporter that
he wished to thank the Clifton people
for the support and many kindnesses

VIM. Nelson, chief of the A. c..

dent last Thursday evening while re-
turning home from his work. He
was riding a wheel in the dark and
when going through the railroad
yards struck a rock. He was thrown
to the ground and fell on his left
arm, which was badly fractured. He
is now wearing the injured member
in a sling, but so far it has not pre-
vented him from attending to his
duties at the warehouse. There is a
chance for somebody to buy cheap
wheel.
