CAPITALISTS COMING ID ACCEPT LUM-
 -BER PROJECT
Means Another Big Enterprise For This City and the Investment of Several Hundred Thousand
 Dollars,

Within a few weeks capitalists inter- ested in development of the vast timb- CT resources of Greenlee County are expected to arrive in Clifton.
 This enterprise has been launched through the efforts of the White Noun tain Lumber Company, composed of John Christy, Pete Riley, G. l.. Cof- fee, MT. Wakefield and others, of Cliff ton.
 The company was organized several months ago and the interim has been spent in the making of preliminary surveys by government officials, an appraisment of the number of million feet of timber for sale, the fixing of minimum price for the timber, and the approval of the proposition to dis pose of the matured timber. An ad vertisement will shortly be published by the government offering for sale to the highest bidder approximately five hundred million feet of timber.
 When this contract is let no doubt the White Mountain Lumber company will be the highest bidder, based upon negotiations already carried on be- tween the Department who have had their experts on the ground and fixed the minimum price the government will accept
 It is the intention of the capitalists who have become interested in the project of the White Mountain Lum- Der company to construct a Hume, ap- proXimately sixty miles in length, at cost of not less than $5,000 per mile. Three small saw mills will be erected on the forest and a large re-sawing mill will be erected in Cliff ton. The mill in Clifton will have a capacity of 100000 feet per day, in connection with a blaming mill.
 At a meeting of the Clifton Chamber of Commerce held on Saturday even ing last, MT. John Christy, President of the White Mountain Lumber Co.,, outlined to the business men present what had already been accomplished and made the statement, that unless some unforeseen circumstances arose, the success of the White Mountain Lumber Co.,, which means another big enterprise for Clifton, was already assured.
 He stated that it would be necessary to secure a right of way for the Hume Clifton, and he asked the cooperation of the Clifton Chamber of Commerce along this line..
 A resolution pledging the co-opera- tion of the Clifton Chamber of Con- merce was pessed and a committee composed of Mayor Geo. Fraser, Hon. Geo. Chase, c. O. Billingsley, Sam Abraham, w. B. Kelly and O. A. Risdon, and w. J. Riley was appoint ed to meet with the capitalists and representatives upon their arrival in Clifton in the near future and to ac- cord to them every assistance in se- curing the necessary right of way and location for the big saw mill.

one for whoever opposes them, in the possession of the speakership and the presidency of the two houses.
 MT Bradner, will call the house together for organization and MT Gun if will cali the senate together for organization, so that they will be al ready in the positions to which they aspire" said knowing politician. If possession is nine points at law, it is also nine points in politics. This will put the opposition at a disadvan- tage and if the plan goes through both of the presiding officers will be elected ''
 T do not know if there will be an opposition to either of the two presid- ing officers. The national house of representatives does not elect a new speaker at every extra session and this precedent, it seems to me, might apply to the state house of repre- sentatives."
 When the interesting point was re- ferred to Senator Sims, who returned Thursday from the state capital, he intimated that whether the point was fact or ficion, there was evidence that there would be opposition. It's a John Seely case," he said. He said that it was reported at the capital that Senator Wood will be a candi- date for the senate presidency, but that opposition to Bradner had not taken on the form of flesh and blood
 Tt is the general opinion at Phoe- nix,'' he said, that the extra session of the legislature will be called about the middle of January. The report of the code commission will be acted upon and taxation bill will be passed. I think that that will be about all that the session will do."

COBB CANDIDATE FOR
 GENERAL LAND OFFICE.

The friends of Hon. Lamar Cobb, state engineer are actively advocat- ing his appointment to the office of Commissioner of the General Land Office of the United States. They have already begun urging the ap- pointment upon President-elect Wood row Wilson. They are urging in his behalf that he has been a 1consistant Wilson man from the very beginning of the primary campaign, that he is friend of William J. Bryan, that he has served for a number of years in official positions in connection with the United States Land Office service at Washington, that he is a sterling and life long democrat, a man capa- ble of making friends and holding them, that he is an engineer of ability, and man of parts.
 MT. Cobb is a member of the num- erous and powerful Georgia family of Cobbs, scions of which have been prominent in the affairs of Georgia since it was a state, and have more than once appeared in national af- fairs in many cases leaving their impress upon them. He has been resident of Arizona for a number of years, was a member of the state constitutional convention, and ran for congress against Carl Hayden in the democratic primaries at the first election. With the induction into office of Governor Hunt he was ap- pointed state engineer and immedi- ately thereafter moved from his home in Clifton, Greenlee county to Phoenix where he has since resided.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

Within ten days the congressional investigation committee will meet again to continue delving into the contributions to the campaign funds of 1904 and 1908. After it is all over the country may know who paid the freight and it may not but what does it mattefr now except for political campaign material?
 The live question of the hour is that the present tendency of legisla- ton is to make elections more costly instead of less and there never has been so much money expended since the foundation of the republic to elect candidates for office as there will be expended this year.

PLEASED WITH LALLY.

A contributor from Morenci sends us the following regarding the appoint ment of Jim Lally to be Justice of the Peace of Morenci precinct:
 You can't keep a good man down. With the field full of aspirants for the honor Smiley Jim" comes out two noches in the lead and knocked down the plum. Morenci can well be proud of the new judge. Through his chari- table and courteous manner jJ- M. Lally has won the respect of every one who knows him and everyone can expect a square deal from the new judge. The many poor children about town, who Jim would pick up and clothe, besides slipping half dol lar into their pocket, will miss him around the store but they can rest assured that if be sees any of them ir need, his purse strings is always open. Here's to Judge Lally.''

ARIZONA WAS FIRST TQNAME DELEGATES
 ID CONVENTION
Monster Good Roads Meeting To Be Held At National Capital Next
 March To Ask Federal Aid

The newest of all the States is the first to come to the front in selecting delegates to represent the common wealth at the Federal Aid Good Roads Convention called by the American Automobile Association to be held in Washington, D. C., March 9th and T, 1913.
 Governor W. P. Hunt, of Arizona, himself an enthusiastic motorist, has advised President Robert P. Hooper, of the A. A. A. that he has named Attorney General G. P. Bullard, State Engineer Lamar Cobb, and Colonel Dell M. Potter as the trio of represen- tativeS from the forty-eighth State. Colonel Potter is a good roads advo- cate of National repute, and is vice president for Arizona in the Ocean to Ocean Highway Association. Arizona naturally feels a great interest in the construction of transcontinental high ways. While none of the other Gov ernors has actually named his state delegation, many of them have advis- ed that they will do so at an early date. Included among these are the Governors of Eastern States which were not represented in the first Fed eral Aid Convention of nearly a year ago. The good roads enthusiasm which has been exceptionally marked Tn the west seems to De renewing itself eastward.
 The responses from commercial or ganizations to the invitation of A A. to send delegates to the Federal Aid gathering are pronunced favorable from every part of the United States. The Commercial Club of Great Bend, Kansas, takes the lead in actually naming it's delegation, Fred Zutavern and w. P. Feeder having been desig mated. Many of the largest cham bers of commerce and boards of trade in the country have promised to be present in the convention.
 Indications are that every one of the A A A. A. State associations and 450 local clubs will have members at the National capital who will pay par ticular attention to their spokesmen in Congress, who in some instances will even serve as motoring delegates. With farmers organizations and mis- cellaneous good roads bodies all invi- ted to participate, indications point to the most representative and infiu- ential attendance ever known at any good roads meeting.
 With the assembling of the present Congress for it's final session, begin ming Monday, December 2, public in- terest in Federal Aid will doubtless be reviewed. There are some thirty different proposals for Federal road appropriations pending, but it is not anticipated that the present Congress at the short session will attempt to take action on any of these. Further more, the Joint Committee appointed

Apreliminary survey for a new road to Morenci has been made by County Surveyor Tunis to cost approximately fifteen thousand dollars. The new road leaves Chase Creek on the South side of the canyon just above the first railroad crossing of the Coronado rail way, passes over the Shannon railway on an overhead crossing and joins the old road at the head of Morenci can yOn.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1912-12-06

at the previous session to make recom- mendations as to the form in which Federal Aid should be granted, can hardly be expected to have anything tangible ready for vote. The policy which contemplates a system of Ma tionaI Highways rather than a piece meal distribution of Federal funds for local improvements in Congressional districts, is proposed which seems to command the most powerful support.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN ON
THE LOOKOUT.

While everything is rising, and the
cost of living is soaring, The Colorado
Statesman has been in search of a
place where the consumers can pur-
chase groceries of every description
at wholesale prices, and at last it
found the ideal place. The Consum-
ers' Wholesale House, corner Six
teenth and Blake streets is the place.
The proprietor, Mr.. Bon l. Look has
been in business on that corner for
twenty years and his sympathy for
the middle classes causes him to as
sist them by placing his goods at their
disposal at wholesale prices.
The Colorado Statesman cannot
remedy the conditions, but it can and
will keep an eye on every place where
our readers can purchase groceries
for a reasonable price.

Lawyer Townsend is a successful
lawyer. He practices in all of the
courts. This week he defended two
cases in the United States court, won
his cases and was highly compliment
ed by the judge of that court for the
shrewd manner in which he conduct
ed the cases, in the West Side criminal
court. Lawyer Townsend defended a
colored woman charged with robbing
a white man. He cleared his client
and he also cleared man from the
charge of non support (penitentiary
offense) Thursday. Ability will win
and if a colored lawyer should have
the business of the colored people
when he shows that he is competent
as Lawyer Townsend has shown since
he located in our city.
