A. & N. NJ. Fire.

On Sunday morning very early, yes
quite early about two a. n.y. the fire
whistle got busy with its big wall.
The A. & N. M. freight Office was on
Dire. No one knows how the fire
originated but possibly in the wiring.
On account of there being no windows
in the room and the doors being shut
there was no possibility of a draft
and for that reason the fire gained no
Roadway. The ceiling was badly
charred and quite lot of freight was
damaged but nothing to "what might
have been" done had the flames been
given Roadway by wind About two
days before the fire the editor of the
ERA had removed his shipment of
household goods.
They had been in the corner where
the most damage was done and would
have been total loss. Will the sub
scribers please join US in a short
fervent prayer of thanks.

Sim Isabel and Lem SpaW.

There is much excitement in Cliff
ton and Duncan on account of a rich
gold strike made eighteen miles
north of Duncan. "Slim' Isabel and
Lem Spaw are the lucky miners, and
at depth of twenty feet on a ledge
that showed pay values from the sur
face they have come into twenty feet
of gold ore running $500. Running
through this ore are many narrow
streaks assaying thousands of dollars
per ton, while the ledge is widening
with depth.
This ledge is the famous old Car
Isle ledge, but the six claims Spaw
and Isabel have located upon it are
three miles from that old Bonanza.
The find is genuine, for it has
caused an exodus to the district,
which is officially the Carlisle mining
district, and returns confirm the re-
ports first received. Frank Eich-
berger, who discovered the King of
Arizona near Yuma, is in the district
seeking to organize a company to
operate the hud.

An Appreciation.

| Miss Linda Fraissinet, who was
married at the Rutgers Presbyterian
Church in the City of New York on
Wednesday the twenty second OF
June, of this year, was native here
and to the manner born.
She was one of the fairest flowers
of girlhood that ever graced a Clifton
home. The boys and girls of her age
and set have a soft side" for her,
and she will always be as welcome,
as our summer showers, to their homes
and hearts.
While a school girl here she pos
sessed d most charming and attrac-
tive personality. Her disposition was
as bright and as light as sunbeam,
and have been told that the promise
of the blossom has been fully realized
in the maturity of the fruit in her
womauhood.
Her husband is to be congratulated
"a his supreme good fortune in win
ming so rare and radiant maiden"
for his bride
May they both have long and pros
porous life sweetened with love and
unremitting JOY.
Through the door of hope we shall
look for their coming some day to
visit our little city under the cliffs.
The fond wish of an old friend of
the family.
To the above the ERA wishes to add
its amen. We are always glad to
hear from our former residents. The
brides father, Mr.. L. Fraissinet was
one of the first managers of the A. c.
stores here. The family now reside
in New York City.

Wet Or Dry?

1t seems that down at Duncan
there were nine voters whom the
census man didn't visit. When it
came to voting last week for local
option these nine men were refused
votes in consequence. There was a
"holler" and now. Bart Upton is
here to find out the legal side of the
question involved. 1t is reported that
these nine voters were for wet town
and their votes would have carried
the day as one vote decided the cleo
ton.
Morenci plays here Saturday. at
Morencl Sunday and here again Mon
day July 4th.

Carriean..Marfin.

At o'clock Tuesday morning of
This week occurred the wedding of
Miss Josephine Frances Martin to
Mr.. John Francis Carrigan at the
Catholic Church, Rev. Garnet offici-
ating.
Both the bride and groom are well
known in Clifton, having lived here a
lumber of years.
The bride was gowued in a rich
receda green silk tailored suit.
After the wedding a breakfast was
served at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Martin
The groom is very popular young
man here, having been employed at
the Shannon works.
A number of very beautiful pres
ents were received, showing the good
will of their friends and relatives.
The young couple left on the morn
ing train for San Francisco where
they will make their future home.
The ERA joins their many friends
in wishing them much joy and happi-
ness.

Fire Company Meeting.

A meeting of the Clifton fire COM
pany was held at the smelter Office
last Saturday afternoon TO devise
ways and means to have contest for
purses and prizes by the different
hose companies. After discussing
the matter it was decided to post
pone the hose races until La Dor Day
September 9Th, which will give ample
time for the fire laddies TO practice
up to a high standard of efficiency.
In the mean time the officers of the
fire company will at their next meet
ing decide and make arrangements
to hang up the purses and prizes to
to be awarded to the best drilled
team. There will be some lively
sport when the boys get down to
training.
Mr.. Carmichael in addition to the
purses will hang up a magnificent
loving cup for the fastest 100 yard
run with hose cart and coupling.

Auto Fever Strikes Clifton.

Joe Brown, the expert auto man of
Globe, arrived in the Clifton district
last week and after spending d few
days here he was approached by Mrs.
Samuel Abraham, who closed a deal
with him for one of his best Overland
machines. With scarcely no practice
Mrs. Abraham has mastered the
operation of the machine and is now
possessed with the distinction of be-
ing the first lady to drive an auto Oh
the crooked streets of Clifton. The
machine, though the property of Mrs
Abraham, will be used in connection
with the Clifton Hotel, provided Sam
can persuade her to take the time to
10 the drying.
Last week seemed to be auto week
md since the admission of Arizona as
l separate state Joe Brown, who, it
reported, does not need gasoline to
run his machine, conceived the idea
hat Clifton is a good location for the
popular auto. He brought up a string
# three machines, two belonging to
himself and the other belonging tc
George Olney. The machines were
loaded with passengers from Solomon.
vile, and the trip was made in less
han four hours. Clifton proved to
De a good market, and besides the
me purchased by Mrs. Abraham, DR..
3urtch and Harry Wright are scram-
bling over Mr.. Browns pet car; and
% cap the climax Brown had to make
lis escape in the Olney machine;
otherwise he would have had to go
home in the old style way.

Walkers Copper Letter.

The Gold Belt Consolidate Mining
Co. has stopped operations on its
property ten miles from Clifton. A
mill has been installed on the claims
by the stockholders who are largely
local operators.
Shannon's copper continues to cost
about II cents. and its margin of
profit is therefore very small. The
grade of the ore it treats is i'm
proving, and its operating costs are
gradually being reduced, however.
The management has just succeeded
ia getting a general reduction of
freight rates on all its supplies and
its copper shipments, which will save
the company $4,000 to 10000
annually.

Greenlee Election.

Last week the statement was made
in the ERA that Delegate Cameron
had wired from Washington that we
could have no election here this fall,
in compliance with the statehood
bill as passed.
On Wednesday the following tele-
gram was received by Mr.. Cobb.
Phoenix, Arizona, June 20, 1910
Lamar Cobb, Chairman.
The governor authorizes me to say
that he will call an election for
Greenlee County.
J. r. HAMPTON.
A mass meeting had been held on
Saturday evening and a committee
appointed to investigate the election
with the result as above mentioned.
The bill does say that there can be
no election unless the state legisla
ture convenes in 1910.
This is undoubtedly the solution of
the problem. The governor will see
that we get our election and Cameron
ian go back to sleep once more. We
ire sorry to have disturbed him. We
published a few weeks ago letter
from Mr.. Cameron saying that he
would see that the bill would be
amended so as to allow US an cleo
ton. Did he keep faith with US:
Decidedly no, nor do we imagine that
he intended to. He has the habit
possessed by lots of others of his
political faith, the bad habit of
making promises which they never
intend 20 fulfill.
The copper era., 1910-07-01
Governor Sloan Welcomed.

The Arizona Republican of PhOe-
nix contained on Tuesday a some
what long account of the welcome
which Governor Sloan received on
Monday evening by the citizens at
the Capitol. The following is taken
from the account:
Major Christy presided and be-
tween two of the addresses he read
the following telegram'which brought
forth a cheer:
Clifton, Arizona, June 81, 1910.
Major Christy, Phoenix. Arizona.
All honor and praise to Governor
Sloan who at the psychological mo-
ment encrgized the statehood bill and
Arizona awoke to find herself hitch
ed to a star. M. J. EGAN.
