M0REhCI Is GREAT
 CAMP, WITH \ FUTURE
One Peculiarly of the Town Is That There Are No
 Streets

guage railroad leading to a town of over 5000 people.
 This railroad has five loops; One as the road starts from the Frisco river, then 1t goes through tun- nel and loops the hill in order to reach the mesa, then takes a shoot for the mouth of the narrow and steep Morencl canyon. From the mouth of the canyon to the hotel, D. c. store and yards the distance is about two miles, and in this dis tanee there are four trestle loops. The engineer. Mir. Burns. who plan ned the way to make a moderate grade for the railroad, which amounted to over 300 feet for the distance, in the canyon performed 8 feat of engineering not often seen, and since the road was finished about ten years ago there has not been a single rail accident on the line.
 In the town proper the Detroit Copper (Phelps-Dodgel has the lar. gest and finest department store building in the Southwest, built of red stone four stories high, with one hundred foot front. and two hundred feet deep, a building that would grace any city in the union. Ii. s. VanGorder is the manager.
 Morenci also has a fine hotel, IT, brary, school house and neat stone Episcopal church, the walls of which are covered with English ivy.
 The A. c. Longfellow store is also large. commodious building, sit uated in the upper part of town, presided over by Manager Name maker.
 One peculiar feature of the camp is that there is not a street in the place, all the houses being built as to convenience and to avoid ex- pense. No wagons traverse the town, but everything-milk. grocer ies, trunks, boxes. lumber, etc, is carried on pack horses and mules Ali the hills are cut with tunnels. and day and night the baby gauge engines are going in all directions performing their various require ments. Altogether Morenci is a busy mart of industry. year in and year out; making one wonder at the wealth of old mother earth has to produce to keep the mighty ma chinery in motion and the thou sands of men employed. The guid- ing hand of the principal part of this great work of the D. c. com pany is Col. c. E. Mills, who has an eye on every department.
 One of the greatest Improvements of the Arizona Copper company at Morenci is the building of the No. mill and concentrator. whose ca- pacity Is being doubled as rapidly as force of experienced men can handle the heavy wood and steel work. It is expected the mill win be completed in about two months when the button will be touched and the new adjunct will start it's wheels in conjunction with tue mil now running.
 In this respect at No a shafi has been sunk 400 feet and a tun. mel run over 1900 feet to the Hun boldt mine from which motor ore cars will convey the ore to the base of the shaft, where it will be hoist ed direct into the chutes of th, mill. thus greatly reducing the cos of production over the present plan Chief Engineer Wigmore of the A C. company has charge of the worl while General Manager Norman Carmichall promulgated and car ried out the scheme. The mill an, its adjuncts will be as complete a skill and arduous plans can mak it, and equal to any in the world The Clifton -Morenci district is mod est in it's boasts. but deliver tn goods.
 It is understood that the Hun boIdt tunnel will continue on tc wards Metcalf and come out of tn mountain side near the Coronad incline, and much of the ore no, koing hauled by rail to Clifton wi be brought to No. for treatment making another big saving in cos of producing the red metal.
 Water for Morenci is pumped si miles from Eagle Creek, west, fror wells on that mountain stream, an is pure and sparkling The pumpin plant out there is equal to a cit of 75.000 people for the reason tba the big companies use an enormou amount of the fluid The plant connected 10 two mains. one Sine and the larger one 10-inch- oil i pumped through two-inch pip which is the fuel used at the sta
