Another Big Shelter and COnceutratOr

An important announcement was
made last week when it was given
out that the Acknowledgement COM
pany, owning more than 100 valuable
mining claims in the Clifton-Morenci
district, with a cash sum of So, 1000, 900,
had decided upon nothing less than
l000-ton smelter and 2,000-ton concen-
Clifton-Morenci district in the future.
This capital has been subscribed priu-
cipally by London, Los Angeles, Phil
adelphia, Boston and New York peo-
pie, and In it are represented the
largest capitalists of the above named
places. The management of the COM
pauy haYe announced the erection of
smelter and concentration before
and the ERA has secured information
from authority of the company that
the announcement of last week was
correct, though, of course, the plants
are not to be erected at once.
On many of the claims owned by
the company a large amount of de-
velopment work has been done and
large tonnage of ore has been de-
veloped, though the conservative
management is DESTROYS of securing
more ore reserve before going into
the reduction and smelling business.
The company now has two Keystone
drills pounding away, besides the
execution of other work in which
miners are employed. An addition
of six or eight more Churn drills will
be made real soon. The opening
of shafts and tunnels on claims of
most flattering indications is also to
be made and within the next few
months the company will be a real
active concern in this district. The
company has looked ahead for the
future and has located its mill and
smelter sites west of Clifton Heights.
These sites are the best obtainable
in this district, there being several
hundred acres of level ground, on
which an unlimited water supply can
be secured at comparatively small
cost, and the long canyons between
the site and the river furnishes dump
ing ground for the storage of tailings
for practically an indefinite period.
These sites have railroad connection
from Clifton, and Morenci and Met
calf, and by the erection of aerial
trans the company is in position to
deliver its ores to its proposed smell
ter and concentration at small cost.
This is the next big company for this
district

Morenci Wins at Football.

Those high kickers and powerful
Cornishmen who compose the Morenci
football team came down to Clifton
and mixed things with the Clifton
team in match game that was most
exciting from start to finish, the final
result being 4-3 Morenci scored the
first goal after a hard play in which
several of the Clifton players had
been kicked out of the game. Clifton
rallied and made two goals in the
play that followed, but the Morenci
boys were there with the nerve and
succeeded in pulling to the number
three mark. Clifton Immediately
tied the score and after a play of
many minutes Morenci finally united
the knot by slipping q goal through
Patterson. Patterson, as a usual
thing, is invincible as a goal keeper,
but when MOrenci bl oke through him
at the opening of The game his pet
right leg was punished and after that
he was unable to play his usual game.
The Clifton team was handicapped
by two of its best players being out
of the game, which no doubt was the
cause of our defeat, though it is
acknowledged that the Morenci
eleven has greatly improved in its
playing, having little the best of it
when it comes to fast runners. At
the beginning of games between these
teams Morenci hardly made it inter-
esting, but from this date victories
are likely to go to either team as the
scores are low. There is but one
thing left for Clifton and that is
in match games our two teams
should consolidate their forces, in
which event Morenci would have a
slim chance to win. It is not right
that the local talent should be divided
as it is.
More of the boys met with accidents
last Sunday than in any other game
that has been played, which is
evidence that both sides are playing
for blood

Shannon have reached their way IN
the newspapers, perhaps due to the
fact that no doubt offers have been
made for the property, but when it
comes to change the owners of the
Shannon will have something to say
about it. The Shannon has now
reached the stage where great things
might be expected and though the
company has showed a considerable
increase in production every year
that it has been in operation, the IN
crease in 1910 will in all probability
greatly exceed all former records.

"The Gingerbread Man." one of
the really meritorious comic operas
of recent production, has proven its
worth for the past three seasons by
entertaining millions of people and
by earning a small competence for its
author and composer. Its music has
intrinsic worth and is by a. Baldwin
Sloane, the composer of great many
successful musical scores. The book
is a fantastic one by Frederick G.
Ranken, who also wrote the lyrics
and furnished the very funny comedy
with which the pieces abound.
1t has been embellished a little by
the timely quips of some high priced
and versatile comedians, but the
book in the main is almost solely the
authors, and has created vogue for
itself wherever the piece has been
presented. Last season this company
went to the Pacific Coast and made
an enormous impression which is a
sure test of its excellence, for the
critics of this section are bound by
40 other ideas than their own. They
have their own musical organiza lions
and their own grand opera company,
singers of note and comedians and
actors who never come east of the
Rockies, and they have a standard of
their own by which they judge all
productions coming from the east
and to pass muster with them is
sure endorsement of your merit.
That 1.-THE Gingerbread Man" did so
successfully is evident by the return
trip that this organization is making
this year to renew old aCquaintanCes
and pack the houses as they did on
their former visit. "The Ginger
bread Man" will appear here at the
Armory Theatre tomorrow evening.

o. J. Cotey, of the contracting firm
of Cotey & Company, who executed
the grading on the new Shannon-Ari-
iona railroad, returned home last
Friday from a business visit to Cali
fornia and Nevada. During his alb
sence Mr.. Cotey conferred with sew
eral big interests who contemplate
the construction of new railroads and
he reports that in the future he will
most likely secure several large con-
tracts. 1t is understood that Cotey
& Company are to receive a contract
on the new railroad proposed to be
built by the Southern Pacific through
ella and Graham counties. This firm
made wonderful record in the con-
struction of the Shannon railroad,
even through this was the first con-
tract the company tackled. They
are now in better position to handle
similar work to advantage than ever
before, being in possession of a big
outfit in the way of dump carts and
other materials. Each of the gen
tlemen associated with the firm are
practical men and can hold their own
with any of those in the business.
Mr.. Cotey reports that he met num-
Der of old time Clifton people in Los
Angeles and Nevada, all of whom
seem to be doing well. He was favor
ably impressed with California and
Nevada, but when it comes to climate
and a place to live he still thinks
that Arizona is the best.

COUNTY SEAT CLUB.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held and Organ
iZatiOn to Take Place Next Week.

Pursuant to suggestion of the ERA
a public meeting was held at library
hall Tuesday evening, at which a
number of citizens were present
Those who attended were heartily in
favor of organizing a county seat
club as soon as possible for the pur-
pose of boosting for Clifton and rails
ing a small campaign fund which will
be necessity this fall. The follow
ing temporary selections were made:
Mat Danenhauer, chairman, and E..
V. Horton, secretary.
The object of the meeting was
stated by the chairman and after
some discussion it was decided to APP
point an organization committee,
composed of all those present, who
were instructed to boost for the next
meeting on Wednesday,, February
23rd, at Library hall, at which time
permanent organization and the
selection of officers will take place.
A committee consisting of Lamar
Cobb, E. V. Horton, M. o. Simms and
Mat Danenhauer, was appointed to
draft membership petition for rre-
sentation and adoption at the next
meeting.
The organization of the county
seat club is of Importance to every
taxpayer and citizen of the Clifton
Morenci district and those who are
not able to contribute towards the
fund are extended the privilege of
joining the club. Those who can are
urged to contribute a small monthly
sum and the funds are to be deposited
in the banks to tie credit of the
county seat club. 1t should be the
purpose of the next meeting to make
the best appointment of officers
all business men and live citizens
take an active part. Be prepared to
express your views upon the county
seat proposition and by all means
make the boosters club strong. This
club will be the means of insuring
the location of the county seat at a
place where it will be of best con-
venience to the majority of the peo-
pie who may be called upon to do
jury and other court duties.
At this date it appears to be fore
gone conclusion that Clifton is to be
the county seat, however, it is up to
our citizens to organize and go after
what they want. If we do not work
for it there is probability of losing.
The organization of this club means
that our people will pull together on
the proposition and we will have
some head to our campaign. The adj
vantage of organizing now will save
a greater effort at a later date and it
will be much easier for our people
and business men to contribute small
monthly sums than to make large
outlay at one time.

Looked at from every stand
point but one, the celebration of
the Fourth in Mobridge was an
unqualified success, The crowds
were large, the attractions many,
but the weather was far from
pleasant, the condition of the
elements being the only drawback
to the celebration being all that
anyone could have wished it to be.
All the many events advertised
for the long day were given ac-
cording to schedule with the ex-
ception of two. Only one ma
chine entered for the automobile
race so this event was declared off,
and the strong wind prevented the
balloon ascension on the Fourth
The balloon, however, went up as
per contract the next day, though
b Aecond attempt was required
before the ascension was accom-
plished.
July Fourth was ushered in in
Mobridge by the firing at sunrise

snall Dody OF God-fearlng patriots
banded themselves together and
declared that all men are created
equal. The speaker decried, in a
measure, what he termed the too
prevalent spirit of having nothing
but good time on the Fourth and
the failuro to teach the young
what the Fourth is for, what the
anniversary is of, what was done
on that day over a century ago
that we should celebrate on this
day.
Following the exercises in the
hall, the Mobridge second nine
the lnnocents played a game of
make believe base ball with the
team from Glenham, but the In
nocents were trimmed 10 the tune
of 5 to II. One week before the
home boys played Glenham on the
latter's ground and in that game
gave the other fellows an awful
drubbing.
AT 1:30 the base ball game be-
tween the Mobridge Champions
and LeBeau was called, but due
to the wind two and one-half
hours were consumed in playing
the game. Neither side put up a
very good exhibition Of ball, but
LIE Beau was not in it for a min.
ute. Several double plays were
made and there were few inter-
esting situations, but on the whole
the game was not what in would
have been had it not been for the
high wind.
The score was as follows:
Mobridge--O 2 03l111-9
LeBeau 20 O O 0001 0-2
Sunday afternoon the same
teams played the most interesting
game of the season. eleven innings
being required to decide the strug-
gle. Up to the close of the
seventh inning the game stood S
for LeBeau to nothing for Mo-
bridge, but with the eighth the
Champions began to get in their
deadly work and ended with a
victory.
The score of this hard.fought
battle was as follows:
Mobridge -00OOO0O231l--7
LeBeau -0002 030O0I O--6
AT the close of the ball game on
the Fourth the crowds returned to
the city where reports were being
received from the Jeffries-Jo Johnson
prize fight at Reno, the returns
being given through meeaphone
from a platform erected In the
center of the main street. Crowds
surged around the platform, but
when the final result was an
nounced they melted away rapidly,
disappointment over the outcome
being expressed on all sides.
Then came the aroneho riding
