Will Remove to Clifton.

Judge W. c. Mcfarland who has spent the past twelve years in the practice of law in Arizona making his home in Solomonville during the time, will leave for Clifton on Sunday. He having formed partnership for the practice of law with the well known Hon. John R. Hampton of Cliff ton.
 That this will make one of the lead ing and strong law firms of the ter ritory is past saying. for with Judge McFarland's extensive practice and experience in both the territorial courts as we'll as the U. s. supreme court, and John R. Hampton's special ity in land and mining laws will give the new firm a strong hold on their share of the law business of the county.

 VeIOp l5,OOO Horse Power.

Silver City Fifteen thousand horse power will be developed by the Gila River Power comp pany, composed of Silver City and New York capital ists, whose application for the wa ters of the Gila ia western Grant county has been approved by the ter ritorial engineer, Vernon L. Sullivan, who at the same time rejected the application of the Gila Farm com pany for a similar project, because the 500 foot dam it proposed to build is impractical.
 The Gila River Power company incorporated in the early part of the present year, the incorporators be- ing Thomas Lyons of Gila, William D. Murray of this city, and John R. Bartlett of New York City, the cap italization being $6,OOO,OJJ The con- pany has made extensive, yet con- servative plans for the irrigation of an immense tract of land for fur nishing electric power and many other purposes which would greatly develop the country in the western section of the county The people generally are greatly interested in the project and wish it success in the near future.

siderably less than on January l, 1909.
 CONSUMPTION.
 Statistics showing domestic deliv- cries for the first eleven months of the year, as given by the Copper Pro- ducers' Association, indicate con- sumption of copper in the United States exceeding that of any previous year and reaching, perhaps, 77O,OOO,- 900 pounds. as compared with 6SS,- 565, ,243 pounds for 1909.
 PRICES.
 The price of electrolytic copper re- mained below IS cents fo- the greater part of the year, the average monthly New York quotations for electrolytic copper being about 12.7 cents per pound.
 OF A GENERAL NATURE.
 The Sasco smelter of the Southern Arizona Copper company was closed for the latter part of the year and the output of the Silver Bell district will not exceed 6,OOO,OOO pounds, as com- pared with 10, ,5OO, ,OOO bounds for 1909. Churn drill prospecting of the dissem- mated ores of the district during the year is reported to have met encour- aging results.
 The Humboldt smelteT of the Con solidated Arizona Copper company, Yavapai county, and the smelter of the Clara Consolidated Copper com pany, Yuma county, were in opera tion the latter part of the year.
 In the Mineral Creek district devel- opment and construction were active. The Ray Consolidated and Gila Con- solidated companies were merged during the year. This company is reported, later in the year, to have more than 75,OOO,OOO tons of ore devel- Oped. The first units of the concen- trating plant at Hayden will be ready for operation early in 1911, and work on the smelter will be advanced, though the smelter will be completed considerably later than the mill.
 The Ray Central mine is reported to have 1O,OOO,OOO tons of ore devel- oped. A small experimental mill was in operation on this property for part of the year but construction of a permanent mill has not been start ed

TUNNEL COMPLETED.

Stafford The Gila Valley Electric, Gas and Water company report that the forces of miners at work in the big outlet tunnel at their reservoir site in Frye canyon, Graha noun tains, have completed the work. The work of building the concrete bulk head for the pipe and valve connec- tions will proceed at once. When this latter work is completed the con- struction of the dam will commence.
 FIND sULPHIDE ORE.
 Satford.-Charles Spalding reports opening up good body of sulphide ore in the tunnel on the Clara claim, property of the Lone Star Consoli- dated Copper company. The claims are located in the Lone Star mining district, about ten miles north of Saf- ford. The company has a force of miners developing the property, un- der the direction of MT. Spalding.
 INTERESTED IN SONORA MINING.
 Bisbee.-Col. l.. w. Powell, for years in charge of the c. & A. prop critics in Bisbee, is now heavily in- terested in the development of the Elenita properties in the Arizpe dis trict of Sonora, but was out for the holidays and is now in Los Angeles.
 CLARA CONSOLIDATED.
 Yuma.-One of the most important strikes yet made at the Clara Consol- dated at Swansea occurred a few days ago when a large body of per cent sulphide ore was encountered at a depth of 300 feet.
 LIVE OAK LOOKS WELL.
 Globe.-That the Live Oak Devel- opment company's properties are more extensive than the most optimistic have predicted is evident from show ings being made with every hole drilled. The last strike is reported in hole No. 34, and goes to prove the large extension in every direction of the enormous ore bodies already de- veloped in the properties.
 TO MINE PLACERs.
 Douglas.-To revive operations on gold placers in California, long ago abandoned, is the cause for the visit of ''Toppy" Johnson, a pioneer of the Golden Gate State, to Douglas. This is to be brought about by the em- ployment of the Quinner dry pulver- izing and disintegrating machine, which has demonstrated it's value in the treatment of the argamasa, or ce- ment conglomerate in the Altar gold placer fields on the west coast of So- nora, Mexico.

Reminder to Lawmakers.

Dean Collins, in The Portland Ore
gonian, sings a song whose large con-
tent of wisdom legislators everywhere
do well to recognize. We present the
first two stanzas here:
Ho, gallant Solons, meath the State
House dome,
There are voices calling, calling, from
the ones back home,
And a thousand institutions throughout
our mighty State
Are urging on thousand claims, and
none of them can wait,
And thousand things divert you from
your other legislation,
Demanding several thousand each for
their appreciation;
Then for these impetunious institutions
small and big,
Dig deeply in your Golfers, but remem-
Der, as you dig:
CHORUS.
To keep your foot on the soft, soft
pedal;
Go slow, don't go too far;
For cash has legs, and it surely can
skedaddle,
If you leave the lid aiar.
Munifcence is lovely, but don't give it
too much slack;
,Tis virtue one should measure by the
volume of his stack.
So keep your feet on the soft, soft
And please don't dig too far.

The Advertisers subscription contest
is progressing very satisfactorily. Be
sides the renewal subscriptions, more
than seven ty-fve bona fde new sub
scribers were added to our lis1. during
last week. Considering the fact that
4 the contest really, began only three
weeks ago, this is splendid showing.
Most of the contestants are greatly in
terested and enthused. One young la
dy among the leaders in the race, has
been kind enough to say that she does
not expect to win a prize, but knew
that she could do good by helping to
increase the circulation of The A.dverti-

ager says it is one of the most sue
cessful contests he has ever seen.
