ANOTHER DAMAGE SUIT.
A. c. and D. C. Companies Asked to
Donate TO Denver Supply Co.

Charged with having violated the
United States patent laws by using
ore concentrators infringing upon
the patents of Arthur r. Wiley, suit
for damages aggregating S25, 900 were
fled in the district court against
the Arizona Copper company and
the Detroit Copper company, opera
ting in Graham county, by the Mine &
Smelter Supply company of Denver.
The Arizona Copper company is
sued for $4,000, while damages in
the sum of $4,000 are asked from
the Detroit Copper Mining company.
In addition, conjunctions restraining
both companies from the use of con-
centrators alleged to the infringe
ments upon the patents of Arthur r.
Whitley are asked.
The plaintiff company sets forth in
both complaints, which are substan-
TALLY alike, the following allegations:
1t is held that Mr.. Wiley in 1897
applied for and subsequently re-
ceived a patent for an ore concen-
TRAITOR, known as the Wiley concen-
traitor, and that in 1905, the inventor
transferred his right to the Mine &
Smelter Supply company.
Since that time, and after the
patents of the inventor had been
sustained agaisnt other inventions in
the Colorado courts, it is claimed
that Emil Deister of the Diester
Concentrator company of Fort
Wayne, sold twelve concentrators to
the Arizona Copper company and
eight concentrators to the Detroit
Copper Mining company, all of which
were direct infringements upon the
patents secured by Willy.
1t is claimed that in spite of re-
quests to the contrary that both COM
pauies are still using the alleged in
fringing concentrators and are, &C
cording to the information and be-
lief of the plaintiff company, pre-
pairing to continue the use of the
concentrators, to the detriment of
the interests of the plaintiff COM
pany.
The plaintiff company asks that a
temporary injunction be issued by the
United States court, preventing the
use of these concentrators, pending
the outcome of the suit, that a per-
manent injunction be issued and that
the concentrators in possession of
both companies be destroyed and
that damages be granted as asked.
The complaints were fled through
Attorney F. S. Nave, representing
Attorneys Hodges & Wilson of
Denver.

CLIFTON WINS AGAIN.
MOrenci Team 0utcIaSSed At Basketball
SATURDAY. MIGHT.


Before the largest audience ever
assembled in Clifton at basket ball
game the Clifton five completely out
classed the crack Morenci team at
Armory hall last Saturday evening,
much to the dissatisfaction of the
visitors. After hayirg given the
MOrenci boys the last game played
at Morenci the Leader thought that
its favorites would carry away the
laurels at the Clifton game, but our
boys had spent few evenings in
practice and when it came time for
the game they had trained their
eyes so well that almost every time
they got throw at the basket the
ball had a continual habit Of going
through. The Morenci team showed
some Improvement but when it came
to team work they were not in it.
The first part of the game was en-
tirely onesided, our boys making sew
eral baskets in such quick succession
that the game was won before Mo-
renci could get score. 1t was one
of those games in which a team
starts out to win and by determine
tion cannot lose. Had Morenci play
ed the same kind of game it might
have been closer, but there was alb
solutely no chance to win. Ramey
at center simply has things his way
as Morenci has never been able to
get a center who could hold him
down. About the only way that Mo
renci could have chance at center
is to get Len Scott to fill the place.
Garwood. Ghizoni, Fehrman and
Hauxhurst were at their best Satur-
day night and not only guarded their
men to perfection but handled the
ball in such a manner that Morenci
was always up a tree. In the last
half Morenci did much better and
demonstrated that they could do a
little passing themselves. The final
result was ID to Sc.
The game between the Clifton high
school and Morenci second teams was
a much closer contest and proved to
be quite interesting. Judging from
the appearance of the teams during
practice it seemed as though Mo-
renCi had the best of it, as its mem
bers were composed of men, while
the Clifton team were school boys.
But when it came to the game it was
found that the boys had the best of
the men, even though they were
overmatched in weight. Our boys
were slow about making the first
basket and it looked for a while as
though Morenci was going to make
all of the scores, but when our boys
located the basket they piled up
enough scores to land the victory.
1t was close contest from beginning
to end, the final result being II.
Clifton is now the champ.

A Great Production.

1t has been suggested by some
critics that there is Danger of over
elaboration in the modern system of
mounting plays; but so long as man

the purpose of scenic decoration, he
cannot 60 far wrong in availing him.
self of all the artistic and mechanical
appliances of the day to enchance
the truthfulness and reality of his
work. Mr.. Sanford Dodge, who will
appear at the Opera House in
March Sth and 9th has not only the
high dramatic themes, but he has d
painstaking capacity for beginning
at the beginning of things. 1t is
several years now since he first played
THE Gladiator" and his success has
been beyond his widest anticipation.
He thought of it, talked oft, and the
season before he produced it he made
a special trip to Rome and the sur
rounding country, that he might be-
come thoroughly imbued with the
atmosphere There he travelled
among the old ruins examining every
thing that he might find that would
inspire him with the life and fire of
those old days of suffering. While
there he made designs for the scenery
used in his present production, his
artists following his directions alb
solutely. The life and costumes of
the old Romans he studied, so that in
"The Gladiator" the American stage
has a picture of Rome as it was
almost two thousand years ago.

The New Cemetery.

During the past few weeks very lit
tie has been said about the new
Catholic cemetery up Wards can
yon, however, the committee has
been busy saving wood and raising
funds for the building of the wagon
road to the new site. 1t is under
stood that the committee has met
with much success and that within d
very short time the work will be con-
menced. The change in the location
of the Catholic cemetery is an alb
solute necessity as under present
conditions it requires half of the day
to hold a funeral. The wagon road
to the old cemetery is in poor condi-
ton and those attending funerals
must take chances on accidents that
might be OF a most serious nature.

Stockholders Meeting Water Company

In former years many of the local
stockholders of the Clifton Water
and Improvement company have
failed to take an interest in the COM
pany and attend the meetings, and
after the meetings there has always
been considerable kicking about the
business of the company. The next
meeting takes place next Monday
morning at 10 O'Clock at the Office of
the company and all stockholders
should make it point to attend and
take an interest in it. Before the
company opened for business in Cliff
ton our people were satisfied with
muddy water several months of each
year and they were glad to get any
kind of water upon many occasions.
At that time drinking water was de-
livered in Clifton at ten cents a
bucket. During the past year there
has been considerable kicking about
the price of the water, which does
seem to be out of proportions: and in
this kick some of the stockholders
are represented, hence they should
take more interest in the inside af-
fairs of the company and see if it is
really necessary to hold the present
price in order to maintain the

large and jolly a crowd has turned out
for a dance in Morenci as attended

hall was most artistically decorated
and the committee deserve great
credit for their efforts.

IT SEEMS to be the impression of
some of our citizens that the location
of the county seat in Clifton will kill
the town and render US suitable for
the scrap iron pile. In supporting
this theory Solomonville and Tomb
stone are offered as references. Old
timers know that Tombstone in early
days was a good town, due to the
activity of it's silver and other mines.
Unfortunately the Tombstone mines
have not prospered as well in later
years and the town to a certain ex-
tent has gone backward; but there is
no evidence to show that the county
seat has been the cause of it. At
least the interests who are trying to
move the county seat from Tomb
stone find that the Tombstone peo-
pie are putting up pretty hard fight
to retain the county seat. If the
county seat is a detriment to Tomb
stone, the Tombstone people would
realize it before the Graham county
people told them about it, We
hllOW IAdI 10 LlOI DIS
lively as it might be, but we have
never heard the people of that place
complaining that the county seat was
a detriment to them. We also know
that in spite of being burdened with
the county seat the value OF the
farming lands around Solomonville
has doubled many times since the
county seat was located there. For
instance-Globe is the county seat of
ella county, and yet that camp has
the reputation of being the liveliest
town in the territory. Ell Paso is
the county seat of Ell Paso county,
and that city is conceded to be the
best in the southwest. Hence it will
be seen that the theory that the
county seat kills a town cannot be
applied to dead towns exclusively.
If an investigation would be made
it would be found that there are
many dead towns that do not have
the county for an excuse. By locat-
ing the county seat at Clifton it
would be of considerable benefit to
business men; besides saving the
county treasury much unnecessary
expense in the transportation of
prisoners and mileage and jurors.

Assay Office CHANCES Hands.

The Independent assay Office, which
has for a number of years been
located next 20 the ERA office, has
been moved to its new location on
East Side, as result of deal made
Just before the first of the month.
The new owner of the assay office is
the Cobb Engineering company, of
which Lamar Cobb is the principal
owner. The assay department will
be under the management of E. G.
Morton, who is a first-class assayer
and mining engineer, and who has
been associated with Mr.. Cobb the
past several months. The office will
be located in the DOCTORS old office
building of the a. c. company, on
East Side, above the Clifton Hotel.
The new owners are we'll acquaint-
ed in the district and will endeavor
to look after the assaying in the
same excellent manner as has all
WAYS been the reputation of the In
dependent Messrs. Bacon & Catlin,
who haYe been engaged in the assay
ing business for number of years,
will leave Clifton for a new location.
Mr.. Bacon left this week for Mexico,
where he may accept a responsible
position with a mining company.
Mr.. Catlin will remain here a short
time closing up business affairs,
after which he may locate in Utah
or Nevada.

SOME unknown party has launched
the impression that the county seat
club of Clifton is intended as a
political organization, to which it
might be replied that if this is the only
argument that the ants can make
the conservative voter will have no
reason to vote against Clifton. The
county seat club is wholly nonpoliti-
cal, and those who doubt it are re-
quested to loosen up little by at
tending some of the meetings. The
ERA would like to know what any
party could hope to gain by making
a political fight for the county seat.
The county seat is not of benefit to
any single party, but it will be a
benefit to all Of them-and the club
is open to everybody.

The petition regarding the cOnd:-
ton of the school house on Chase
creek has been completed, but reach
ed the board of supervisors too late
to be considered at the last meeting.
1t will come up for discussion at the
next meeting and may result in some
good on behalf of school facilities in
that section of Clifton. When it
comes to providing comfortable quar-
tiers for the school children all citi-
zens are interested whether they
happen to reside in one or the other
part of the school district. AS has
been suggested a number of times
the best results are obtainable where
the various schools are under one
management. Clifton has now reach
ed the point where she can afford to
give the children the best educa-
tionu facilities in existence, but as
long as our citizens prefer to remain
split our schools are bound to suffer.

MOrenci will be Benefited Too.

In dealing with the county seat
matter Morenci is an important
factor and should not be overlooked.
So far the Leader, which is reported
to be the leader in that district, has
failed to impress its readers with the
Importance of locating the county
seat at convenient point. Since the
completion of the Shannon railroad
Morenci people can reach Clifton by
rail and it will be possible for the III to
come to Clifton in the morning and
return in the evening. If they don't
come by rail they can make the trip
by st age. In either event they will
save money and time by
helping c lifton to win out in the
county seat fight. Every voter should
cast his ballot for the best interests
of the county in which he lives and if
this system is folio wed Clifton is
entitled to the Morenci vote.

E. U. Beauchamp, one of the old
time mining men of this district, and
who was for some time superintend-
emit of the Gold Belt, returned to
Clifton last week from the Mogollon
mountains, where he spent the past
several months prospecting. He re-
ports that he has not yet located the
Adams diggings, but is as enthusi-
astic as ever and believes that he
will succeed some of these days. He
has recently made a bid to Uncle
Sam for large mail contract, and if
he gets the job his visits will be few

The property owners of the Fraser
