Fourth Of July
on the GiIa

The farmer citizens of the val
lev are to celebrate the Nation s
Birthday on the Gila about four
miles above Duncan.
This will take place in the
shady grove where the road
crosses the river on the New

The committe has arranged for
a free barbecue, they will drive
a pump to furnish an abunndace
of good pure water and every
thing will be done to make the
day pleasant and sociable. Every
body is invited and a real enjoy
able day is expected.
AS there was to be no formal
celebration at Duncan our farm
er friends took the matter into
their hands and this will be a re-
suit of their efforts. And, we feel
that it will be successful.

The next day the trip was con-

these. the corrals especially, were
the result of outlaws and built 80

Two Tons to The Acre

This is what Bishop Nation will
make off the second cutting
which is now in the stack.
Hay is worth now $1,000 per
ton, hence it is not hard to figure
that this second cutting will bring
Mr.. Nation $40 per acre. But,
this is not all, he has already
made one crop (as would be call
ed back east and he has at least
two more to get this year and
may be three. Say for instance,
he gets only two more cuttings
that will make four in all with
an average of one and one
half tons to the acre. to be con-
servative, there you have SIX
TONS worth SIXTY DOLLARS.
When really some of this hay will
doubtless be sold for as much as
SIS per ton, and all of it any
where between $40 and SIS.
This figuring shows that good
alfalfa land will bring from $50
to $100 per year gross the farm
er per acre. These figures are
not those of a real estate agent
but, from a real farmer who is
reliable and doesn't want to sell.

A. c. Company Build
New ReductiO Works
Clifton Dispatch To Ell PasO

Time says:
That formal and official deci-
sion has been reached by the
board of directors of the Arizona
Copper company, Ltd, to build
new and enlarged re duct i on
works in the very near future. A
cablegram has been received from
Edinburgh announcing that DR..
l.. d. Ricketts,, general manager
of Cananea, and consulting en-
gineer for the Phelps-Dodge COM
pany, had been retained by the
Arizona Copper Company, Ltd,
as consulting engineer, for the
construction of the new reduction
works for this company, a site
for which has been surveyed on
the south side of the Frisco, three
miles below Clifton and opposite
what is known as North Siding.
1t has been the general belief
for some time since the visit of
the directors that the new works
would be built, but it was only
this week that the official announ-
cement was received in Clifton.
That there will be a contest
over the land selected is now ap-
parent for which applications for
script have been made, have
signified their intention of max
ing a contest. 1t was stated this
week that Attorney Gibbs had
been retained by some of the
placer owners to represent them.
The important fact remains that
the Arizona Copper Company,
Ltd, has decided to build new
smelter. That a suitable site will
be secured is only one of the
many details to be worked out.
The building of a new smelter in
the district means the employ
ment of hundreds of high
priced laborers who will be here
for many months.
