RUSH OF SETTLERS.
Artcsian Meter Supply at San Simon Has
 Been Thoroughly Demonstrated.

Phoenix, Feb. HE. w. Potter returned to Phoenix yesterday after trip through southern Arizona and visit to the San Simon valley. The railroad station of San Simon Is sit. uated near the center of this large valley. which extends from the Mexi. can line on the south to the Gila river on the north, and, like all the other Arizona valleys, the soil is fertile, needing only water to transform the partial desert to a verdaut field. This is fast being supplied through the medium of artesian wells. The soil is a sandy loam covered in part with mesquite brush and white sage and the land lies at an altitude of 8, 600 feet.
 At San Simon station an artesian we'll is down $50 feet and water is gushing from it at the rate of 425 gallons per minute. The water is soft and pure and it's temperature is 84 degrees. That the artesian belt is large one and with good pressure hasbeen fully demonstrated. Wells have been developed to the south near the Mexican line and to the north near the Gila river.
 A town site has been laid out at San Simon station, park has been set aside surrounding the we'll and town Improvements have begun. There is considerable rush of peo- pie to that vicinity, filling the lands with view of developing artesian water. MT. Potter said that ten people arrived on the same train he boarded to leave San Simon. MT. Potter believes that one of the great est opportunities in the west for the land seeker is now afforded in the San Simon valley.

PURCHASES MEXICO RANCH.
J. N. McFate Formerly of Clifton Acquires the Aguaha Ranch of
 26,00O Acres.

Nogales, Ariz., Feb. 16.-J. N. McFate, has, during the past week, consummated land deal which will prove of great importance in the up- building and progress of northern Sonora. He has secured the Aguaha ranch belonging to the Clarke estate, tract of land embracing 26,000 acres of the finest farming and orange grove land in the state. The western boundary of the ranch runs close to the town of Ilano on the Sonora rail- road. MT. McFate has discovered a fine stream of water in canyon on the ranch and at least three natural reservoir sites. This mountain stream is at the upper end of the ranch and runs the year round. The water can be piped to any part of the tract of land, running by force of gravity for the reservoir site is several hundred feet higher than the rich level land with its soil of pure silt. Dry farming is now carried on successfully on portions of the ranch and all kinds of.crops do well without water. It is the purpose of McFate to colonize the land and he may start another town.

WARRIOR DEVELOPMENT

Warrior Development, which holds options on a large tract of ground ad- joining Miami on the north, has is- sued it's report for the year ending Dec 31, 1910. Included in its terri tory is the Black Warrior mine, which has made a splendid record as 8 producer Of high grade ore. Since 1903 total of s1, ,729, ,591 worth of ore has been shipped from this property.
 Between Oct. IA, 1910 and Jan. l, 1911, the Warrior Development com pany shipped 31, ,45O tons of ore to the custom smelters, which averaged 9.65 per cent copper, receiving there for $282, ,776. Of the proceeds a con- siderable proportion was expended on exploratory and patent work, churn drilling, etc. The company closed the year with credit balance of ESQ., 10Q

ARIZONA COMMERCIAL

It is reported that the diamond drilling at the Arizona Commercial property has disclosed high grade sulphide ore at 8 depth Ot 1900 feet. It is thought that sinking will be con- tinued to the 12OO-foot level at the same time that the crosscut is being extended to the 10th level.
 At the 10th level the station is nearly completed, and it is expected that the pumps will be installed within few days when the crosscut will be extended to cut the ore en- countered by diamond drills on this level. The work of establishing 8 station has made some crosscutting necessary, and about 100 feet more of this work remains to be done. It is anticipated that this will be com- pleted and drifting on the vein und CT way by March l.

Rebekah'S Grand Ball.

For several weeks preparations have been going on for a grand ball to be given under the auspices of the Lone Star Rebekah Lodge of Clifton on the eve of Washington's birthday. The Arm ory Hall on Hills Addition was chosen for the entertainment aud the decorations were most ap- propriate and attractive.
 By half past eight o'clock a large number had gathered and at exactly 9 o'clock the regular program started with over a hundred couple on the floor. From this time on until the early morning hours dancing was in- dulged in interspersed with delicious refreshments.
 This affair was one of the most en- joyable events ever experienced in Clifton and while not the first the Rebekahs have given, is said by all who attended to be the best.
 Lack of space forbids an attempt to give the names of those who at tended but nearly the whole best pop. ulation of the town was there and all express themselves as highly enter tained.
 The music furnished was the very finest and was composed of twelve different instruments.

 If a person had gained entrance to a room on Chase creek any night dur ing the first part of February, this particular room being located up stairs on the west side of the street, he would have come to the conclu- sion that the law against public gambling in Arizona had been re- pealed and the knights of the green cloth had again come into their own. But so far as the Era is informed the law against gambling has not been repealed and for this reason the games which fourished and thrived for ten days or two weeks during the silent. It was not necessary to make a raid on the gambling games. It was soon learned by the proprietors of sthe games that their activity would be short lived and after two weeks of unlicensed public gambling the check racks were removed and the layouts folded away.
 It was a daring attempt to break the law and that the gambling law was being broken was a notorious fact for several days. Just about the time public sentiment was crys- talking into action, the promoters of the Chase Creek Monte Carlo evil dently came to the conclusion that discretion was the better part of va Tor and closed the games.
 The days of public gambling in Ari- zona are ended. There is a law on tbe statutes prohibiting it and no amount of "fxing' or up stairs gamb- ling halls can evade the plain letter of the law.
 Clifton is not the first place where public gambling has been attempted since the passage of the anti-gamb- ling law and in each instance the would be gamblers have met with de- feat. At Prescott the threat of the Governor 10 call out the rangers and the militia if necessary, to enforce the law, had the desired effect.
 The gambling incident in Clifton has come and gone of it's own accord. The proprietors of the gambling games are evidently convinced that it will be useless to repeat the effort to again establish public gambling in Clifron.
 A local citizen who was present in the room when the games were in full sway said it reminded him of old times not many years ago when al most every saloon in town was a gambling place.
 While it lasted it is said the games "had a good play" and the dealers did not seem to have any fear of ar rest. It is said that other quarters were to be fitted up for gambling as it was learned that one place was not molested but in the meantime the mo- toriety and publicity gained by the first effort to reestablish public gamb- limo OrOVed it's death knell

 From the above promised activity on the part of those opposed to the location of the court house on Hills Addition, and the Morenci taxpayers who insist that Clifton must make good on their free site guarantee, at least one if not two injunction suits will be filed against the Board before they take any additional steps in the court house matter.

The Copper Surplus of the World Is Nearly 2O,OOO,OOO Lbs. Smaller
 Now Than It Was a Year Ago
PRODUCERS REFUSE TO REDUCE
Shannon Making Preparations To Begin StOpins In Large Body
 of High Grade Ore
THE METAL MARKET

Copper is extremely dull, but prices
 are being maintained. Lake is 12 5-e
 to 12 3-4 and electrolytic is F S-s to
 12 l-2 cents a pound. While there. is more or less uncertainty in the trade
 the majority of the producing inter ests are iudisposed to reduce prices. They believe that the very unfavor- able turn in the statistical position of the metal, as indicated by the Pro- ducers' statement published last week, will be temporary. and that when consumers come into the mar ket again their buying will absorb 8 very considerable proportion of the existing visible supply.
 The fact that consumers of copper are buying only from hand to mouth and carrying practically no supplies makes the surplus very much larger than it would be were it not that sentiment has come to be such very vital factor in the situation. It Is said that American consumers who usually buy 4O,OOO,OOO to 5O,OOO,OO pounds of copper at 8 time are now taking only 100000 pounds. but of course with very much more ire quency.
 Regarding the surplus. it may be well to remember that when the Amalgamated corner collapsed in 1901, that company and associated in terests were carrying almost 400, ,000,- 900 pounds of copper. Only five years later, notwithstanding a very large increase in production mean while, surplus supplies had been ab- sorbed and consumption had grown to such proportions that the price of the metal was forced up to 26 cents. There is no good reason to doubt that this history may be repeated.
 The worlds copper surplus is near ly 10000, 900 pounds smaller now than it was a year ago. This improve ment has occurred notwithstanding the business depression in the United States, where is usually found the greatest single market for copper. There is now every prospect that general business will soon be very much better here, and that the last half of 1911 and the year 1912 will constitute period of great prosper ity. In the event of such business being realized there will be tremendous increase in the consumption of copper and the price will have substantial advance, not withstanding the coming increase in

Pliny Stokes, found guilty of mur- der in the first degree, for the killing of Chas. S. Wood must meet the death penalty unless granted a new trial by the supreme court.
 When the verdict, signed by Fore man George F. Briggs was read one hour after the jury retired, Stokes sat in the same unperturbeb manner that he maintained all through the trial. There was not a quivering muscle in his face, his eyes moved not the slightest bit as the words con- deming him to death for the killing of man were pronounced. He did not appear to fully comprehend what was taking place. When Attorney Flanuigan leaned over to him and assured him that he would not hang, his face changed expression for the first time. Then there came a smile to one side of his countenance, a con- straiued smile that carried but little meaning beyond indicating that he had heard.
 A verdict was not expected so soon, and when it was read there were but few in the court room. Stokes fa- ther and other relatives were not even in the room and they did not know of the verdict until the priso- ner had been led back to jail, dispas- sionate as ever.
 Later in the night Stokes gave in- dications that the verdict weighed some on his mind, but the change was ever so slight. Stokes will be ex. ecuted at Florence if he does not gain his liberty or lighter sentence througb new trial. He will be taken to Florence shortly.

Packing Plant For Phoenix.

Phoenix is to have packing plant!
 Articles of incorporation for the new enterprise have been filed by Charles Christy, Leon Bouvier, Will liam H. Fadler, J. c. McNulty and Oscar Roberts. Several other re- presentative business and dairymen are interested in the project.
 The company is incorporated for a quarter of a million dollars, and S5O,- 900 is to be spent in erecting the necessary building and equipping the plant.
 The strictest sanitary methods of handling are to be employed, giving to the people of the valley meat that is pure, wholesome and clean.
 The plant will give immediate em- ployment to about fifty men, and ~the initial payroll will be close to 5000 per week.

Shannon is making preparations to begin stoping in the large body of high grade ore developed in its work ing tunnel. Another and deeper tun- nel, driven some years ago, will be used for extraction. New ore bins to accommodate this product are now under construction. Developments at the Shannon mine for 8 year or more past have been uniformly flaw orable, and property conditions are much better now than ever before in the company's history.

 The fire which was discovered in one of the old workings ot the Lowell shaft of the Copper Queen mines
 Wednesday last, is now under con- trol, and it will simply be a matter of day or two until it will be com plety extinguished. The experience gained in controlling the fire at the Holbrook shaft has proved invaluable in fighting the Lowell shaft fire. The latter shaft is now down to the 1900 fit level and preparations are under way for cutting the stump.
 Superintendent George W. Long of the Bisbee Extension Mining Co.,, has arrived in Bisbee to engage a force of men who will commence work at once on the company's property which has been out of commission since last October.
 At the Chemuug Copper company mine, Grant county, New Mexico, preparations are being made to re- sume operations in the Burro noun taiDs. A pump weighing about four tons has been moved from Copper Flat to Tyrone and will be installed at No. 2. shaft.
 New capital has been secured in the Cochise Gold company, which has property in the Dragoon mountains, Arizona, and preparations are being made for the installation of 500 ton cyanide mill.
 Rumors have been current for some time that the Miami at Globe was having difficulty with its new mill and that an unsuccessful attempt had recently been made to start concen- trating the ore. J. Parke Charming says these rumors are without shred of foundation. Not a pound of ore or gallon of water has gone into the new mill. It will take about two weeks more to get the power plant and pumping plant in running condi- tion before it can start.
 That mining operations through out the entire range of the Dragoon mountains are about to take on lively aspect, is the encouraging re- port in Tombstone, For some time past several eminent mining engi neers representing various eastern and foreign capitalists, have been busily. engaged in making thorough examinations and reports on many ot the properties in that district, and according to information at hand will result in the taking over and bonding of many mines.
