Shannon Is Now RaiIroadine.

After the lapse of several years,
when the building of railroad by
the Shannon Copper company was
first mentioned in the ERA, the eX-
pected has materialized and on last
Monday morning the Shannon-Ari-
IONA Railroad company commenced
operating ore trains over the new
line. In order to build this railroad
it required a considerable sum of
money and unlimited nerve and de-
termination. With the exception of
very small portion of the roadbed
it was just like digging the way
through and in other places it like
making a level place where it seemed
impossible. However the task has
been completed and this company is
today operating one of the best ten
mile railroads in Arizona. For 4
starter the Shannon is hauling light
trains over the road, with the inten-
tion of settling the roadbed before
attempting to do all of its own work.
The Shannon will take care of all of
its ore and freight hauling between
Clifton and Metcalf in the near
future.
For the present nothing is said re-
garding the carrying of passengers
over the Shannon road, as a branch
of this kind will not pay. However,
it is probable that many excursions
will be run between Clifton and Mo-
renci during the baseball season.
There is now some talk that the
Shannon railroad contemplates the
building of a depot opposite the
Shannon store in South Clifton. The
company will need a warehouse fo1
freight and this building will proba'
bly, be combination freight house
and depot,

Basket Ball Saturday NIGHT.

Clifton people are looking forward
to the basket ball games between the
first and second basket ball teams of
Clifton and Morenci which are
scheduled for Saturday evening,
February Goth. The game between
the first teams promises to be the
hottest thing that has happened in
Clifton since the introduction of
basket ball Owing to the fact that
the Morenci team has greatly i'm
proved and has also won one. or two
victories recently the Clifton invinci-
bles have been practiciug all week
and are now in excellent condition.
The large floor space at Armory hall
will give both teams a chance to do
their best work. The lines have been
laid out and the baskets installed,
and the floor is in frst-class condition.
The old lineup, Ramey, Fehrman,
Ghizo1i, Garwood aad Hawxhurst,
will be on hand for IT, occasion and
they will introduce 50 ne of their old
time lightning passes md long range
basket throwing.
The last game pulled off in Clifton
did not draw the crowd that the boys
were entitled to, due perhaps to the
unfavorable weather. but it is thought
this exhibition will be patronized in
such manner as to at least allow the
making of expenses. The High
School team will play the Morenci
seconds and as they are evenly
matched this feature of the match
should make things even more inter
esting. An admission of % cents will
be charged for the basket ball ex
hibitions, and all who attend are
guarante ed to receive full value.
The games will be" followed by a
dance, for which there has been
secured the bsst music in Clifton.
Those desiring to remain for the
dance will be charged 80 cents per
couple extra for the pleasant time
that will follow. Don't miss it as it
will be the best time ever given by
the basket ball boys.

CHURCH REVIVAL.
United Churches Conducting Interesting
SerViceS.--Attendance Good.

The united churches, in which is
interested the Presbyterian, Metho-
dist and Baptist churches, commenced
revival services in Clifton last Mon
day evening at the Methodist church
with well filled house, and the at
tendance during the remainder of
the week has been on the increase.
The services are being conducted by
Revs. Love. Aker and Winans, who
are well acquainted with local condi-
tions and in a position to do better
work than outside help, with the ex-
ception of special men. The services
will be conducted at the Methodist
this week and next week at one of
the other churches, each place TAX
ing one weeks tine. This is the first
time that the churches have CONSOLE
dated their efforts in union meet
ing and it is thought that this method
will prove most successful.
Rev. Krichbaum of Morenci, will
also assist in the local meetings at
various times and it is also quite
possible that other interesting religi-
Gus speahess will visit Clifton before
the close of the revival meetings
here. The public is extended cor
dial Invitation to all the meetings,
regardless of denomination.

Carriage Works Moves to New Quarters

The Clifton carriage works, under
the management of w. M. Scolton,
has moved from its old site on Hills
addition to the location near SPANS
Transfer barns. This concern has
turned out some very creditable
work in the way of new vehicles and
IFS horse shooting department is con
sidered to be the best in Clifton. In
addition to the first-class equipment
of the works the management has
decided to put in a shop equal to any.
thing that can be found in the large
cities. Motor power, steam hammer
and other up-to-date machinery will
be added in the near future which
will make the Clifton Carriage works
an institution that the Clifton people
cannot fail to appreciate. This con-
Germ is now in a position o give es-
Inmates on new delivery and other
vehicles, guaranteeing that their
vehicles are stronger and better
built than anything that can be pur-
chased outside of town. Their work
while it is done at home, will save
purchasers money and at the same
time give them better material.

Clifton Football Team Takes Two ScaIps
From Bisbee.

For the championship of the south
west the Clifton soccar football team
defeated the Bisbee pets two
straight games on the Bisbee field
last Saturday and Sunday. On ac-
count of the Clifton boys being un-
able to take their best players to
Bisbee it was thought that Bisbee
would at least get one game, but our
boys simply outclassed their oppo-
nents on strange grounds, hence it
can be imagined what will happen
when the Bisbee team venture to
Clifton.
The first game on Saturday after
noon was one of those kind that
keeps the grandstand on its toes.
Part of the time the score would be
tied, but Clifton was usually success
full in making the first run in the
lead. 1t is understood that Bisbee
begged for the first game in order to
get better crowd the next day, but
as Clifton went there to play for
blood they paid no attention to APP
peals. The final result was in
favor of Clifton. In the game Sun
day afternoon excitement was even
greater and both teams played for
all there was in it: though Clifton
could not make many scores itself it
prevented Bisbee from scoring but
one goal in the entire game. The
final result was 2 l in favor of Cliff
ton. But for a heavy wind, against
which Clifton had to buck, the score
might have been greater on the Cliff
ton side.
The locals returned home slightly
disfgured and several of them could
hardly walk, which they claim was
due to the roughness of the Bisbee
team, which seemed to think that
unless they put our boys out they
had no chance to win. But even at
this they failed. The locals were
outclassed in weight, but our little
fellows slipped throunh the tight
places and usually had control of the
ball. Return games will be played
in Clifton in the near future, at
which time the Clifton people will
have the pleasure of witnessing a
real live football match.

A Petition for School House

A petition has recently been cii-
culated on Chase creek asking the
board of supervisors to make pro-
vision for a new school house in that
section OF town. AS the proposition
now stands Chase creek is divided
with the two school districts and
school is being maintained on the
creek, in which both school districts
furnish teachers. District No. 3 is
more strongly represented there
than District No. 80. There has
been considerable complaint about
the school conditions on Chase creek,
which. if looked at in the right light,
is legitimate kick. If the school
is to be maintained on Chase creek it
will be necessary to provide better
quarters or make some radical
changes. About the only way the
board of supervisors could do any
thing would be to order the creation
of a new school district, but as the
portion belonging to district No. 80
is bonded this course is almost i'm
possible, unless it could be especially
arranged with those holding the
bonds.
The school population of Clifton is
advancing to such proportions that
in the future it will be necessary to
make changes in our public schools.
For a number of years there was con-
siderable feeling between districts
3 and 80, but in late years orr people
have overlooked old happenings and
are now striving to give the children
every educational advantage. Con-
solidation of the two districts did not
meet with approval several years
ago, however, in order to get the
best results the town of Clifton should
be under the control of one school
board and the district should be
one. The town is scattered to
such extent that unless school houses
are located in different sections it
will be MS ~ f. he children to
travel as md,h - a., miles to at
tend school. The Chase creek petit
ton was to have been presented at
the last meeting of the board, but so
far nothing has been heard of it.

ArmOry Theater Entertains Another Full
House.

1t was thought that the Armory
Theater had a full house when it
opened the season with "The Lion
and The Mouse" but on last Friday
evening, when "The Gingerbread
Man" appeared the house was crowd
ed to overlooking. Never in the his
tory of Clifton has a show met with
such success in Clifton, the attend
ance being beyond doubt the largest
ever seen here. The Gingerbread
Man came here with a first-class in
PRODUCTION, fattering press notes and
broad appearance, but when the COM
pany appeared on the stage all ex-
pectations were exceeded, as it was
thought that no such excellent per-
formers could be induced to make
the trip to Clifton. The musical
numbers, the. Venetian Quartette,
the. wit, beautiful electrical effects
and scenery were greatly appreciated
by those who attended, and their ap
probation was shown by the numer-
Gus encores, in which the performers
were quite liberal. A special train
was run oyer the Coronado railroad
from Metcalf and brought down a
large number of visitors, who also
enjoyed the treat.
The management of the Armory is
to be congratulated upon its success
II securing such strong companies as
Rice & Varley and they are
pleased with the manner in which
the Clifton people are supporting the
better class of shows. Without a
vacant chair in the hall the Armory
will be encouraged to offer liberal
guarantee to other big companies
which are now negotiating to visit
Clifton,

Geo. T. Hood, assistant general
manager of the Northwestern The
atrical Association, of Seattle, which
has the booking of the leading shows
of the United States, visited Clifton
this week for the purpose of looking
over the Clifton field and inspecting
the size and equipment of the Ar
mory Theater. 1t was through this
association that the two big shows
were recently booked for Clifton and
as the attendance was good the as
ISOLATION naturally became more in
terested in the Clifton field. After
making an examination of the size
of the Armory hall and the excel
lent stage and dressing rooms, Mr..
Hood informed Manager Riley that
he was satisfied in every particular
and that he would enter into con-
tract with him for the booking of
some of the big theatrical companies
in the future. The Northwestern
Association handles nothing but the
largest and best companies, hence
every show that they send here will
be of the guaranteed class. AS it is
now late in the season there will be
but few shows during the next few
months Manager Riley announces
that there will be two good shows al
the Armory during the month Of
March and two in April, which vii
probably close the season.

months. He will spend a short time
at Duncan, after which he will go
back to the county seat.

Mrs. Geo. Hall is still quite sick at
her home in North Clifton.

E. N. Prettyman, manager of the
North Clifton opera house, was dis
appointed by the company which was
booked to play Tempest and Sun
Shine" Monday evening. A large
advance sale of tickets had been
made and many people went to
the opera house in the evening, due
to the fact that the company did not
give notice until the last minute.
All advertising had been done and
the dates well circulated, and besides
the appointment, MIR. Prettyman
was put to some expense. 1t is I'M
derstood that the company claimed
mixed dates, but it would seem that
the Arizona cities are not so thick
that an advance agent could not pre-
vent a mix-up. And especially sc
when other companies nave had nc
similar trouble. Those who were dis
appointed in the Tempest and Sun.
shine company, will probably remem.
Der them the next time they an
nouuce their intention to visit Cliff
ton.
