TaiIines Dam Breaks.

During the first part of last week
the Arizona Copper company had
some trouble with its tailings dams
at both Clifton and Morenci canyon.
The company was preparing to han
die its tailings in the Morenci can
yon in an improved manner when the
dam gave way and the immense
pressure of water and tailings soon
cut out deep channel, thereby per-
hitting an unusual amount of mat
ter to enter the river. A few days
after this accident a small break
also occurred in the wall of the
reservoir below Clifton, when an adj
ditional amount of matter entered
the river. Immediately after the
first accident the a. c.. company
telephoned the farmers thereby Civ
ing them ample time to close their
headgates before the talings reach
ed the valley. BY this means the
company prevented the possibility of
damage TO farming lands and the
farmers were more than pleased to
receive information before they had
been put to any inconvenience.
The company at once put on large
forces of men to repair the breaks
with the result than in couple of
days the dams were in better condi-
ton than ever before. The breaking
of the dams at almost the same time
was a rather peculiar coincidence
and coming so close after the recent
decision of the supreme court, it
naturally caused the farmers to get
suspicious. The farmers appointed
a committee who hurried to Clifton
to Investigate the matter and after
they had viewed the scene they were
of the opinion that the break was
purely accidental, and were also
pleased to see the company had lost
no time in making repairs.
w. S. Laskey, formerly a resident
of Morenci, but who has bean engaged
in the mining business at Globe the
past several years, came over to Cliff
ton the latter part of last week on a
business and pleasure trip. In speak
ing of Globe Mr.. Laskey said that it
was the busiest town in the territory
and that the companies are doing an
enormous amount of new work there.
He has always been a friend to the
Clifton-Morenci district and cannot
see why it is that this country does
not move forward like Globe. He is
of the opinion that we have more and
better mines over here, but we seem
to be short of the enterprise and
boosting.

Well just try a glass and you
won't need any answer to such
