THOMSON RESIGNS POSITION WITH
 A. C. CO.
After Service of More Than Fifteen Years. Popular Official Leaves Clifton to Accept More Re-
 numerative Position

A. T. Thomson has resigned his position with the Arizona Copper Co.,, Ltd. His resignation was cabled this week to the directors of the company in Edinburgh, Scotland, to take effe3t July 1st, 1912, or as soon thereafter as his successor may be appointed.
 When seen at his office on Thursday MT. Thomson confirmed the report to a representative of the Era, and made the statement that he expected to leave Clifton shortly after July 1st.
 At the present time am not at liber- ty to state what corporation I will be associated with in the future,'' said MT. Thomson. This reticence on my part is caused by the request of my new employers, but it will not be a secret for long. I sincerely regret with the people of the Clifton-Morenci district, and with the A. c. Co.,, has been most pleasant. Clifton has been my home for fifteen years and it will always be nome" to me, but I would be doing myself an injustice to refuse this new offer which has come to me unsolicited and entirely unexpected.
 A. T. Thomson has been cashier of the A. c. Co.,, Ltd, and General S:l- perintendent and Traffic Manager of the A. & N. M. Railway He came to Clifton from Edinburgh in Deceru- Der 1896 as book-keeper for the com pany and his service has been con tinuous since that time, being steadily advanced from one important position to another. Mir. Thomson enjoys the high esteem of the public in gen eral who have come in contact with him all these years and numerous re- grets have been expressed on all sides since it became known that he intended to leave.

JUDGE M0DER
 PASSES AWAY
Justice of the Peace in Clifton Dies
 After an Illness of Three Days.

On Monday evening of this week about eleven o'clock occurred the death of one of Cliftons well known citizens, H. Moder. MT. Moder had been ill but few days when he ar swered the last summons. He was taken sick on Thursday of last week and gradually grew worse until the end, suffering intensely in the mean time.
 MT. Moder has been a familiar fig ure upon the streets of Clifton for several years and his friends were numerous. During his residence here he has been closely identified with tn . business interests of the town and always had the welfare of the muni- cipality at heart.
 The deceased was born in Germany 54 years ago, and when but a young man emigrated to this country with his wife and landed in New York, lat CT going to Cincinatti where he re- sided. before coming to Clifton. He was a resident of Clifton for eleven years, being first engaged in the tail bring business, and for the past sever al years conducting a livery and trans fer business in North Clifton which ne still retained at the time of his death. In 1908 he was elected jus tice of the peace for Clifton precinct, the time of his death.
 MT. Moder was a charter member of both the Sons of Hermann and the Moose Lodge of Clifton, and was an untiring worker in both orders. The funeral was held this morning under the auspices of the Moose lodge and the last rites were attended by large number of friends, the burial taking place at the Masonic cemetery.
 MT. Moder leaves to mourn his loss a widow and two grown sons who re- side in Clifton, and a sister in Gallup, N. M, who missed railroad conneo- tions. and was too late for the funer- al.
 The judge will long be remembered by the older residents of Clifton, and the heartfelt sympathy of the com munity goes out to the faimly in the loss of the husband and father.

trict $7. 50 for each day the buildings remain uncompleted after the dates specified in the contract. The plaIls and specifications adopted by the Board of Trustees were those prepar- ed by McNeil and Wilkinson. This firm will superintend the construction of the buildings and for their servic"s ; will receive 4 per cent of the contra price.
 The School Board is to be congratu- lated upon the success of their efforts to relieve the congested conditions of our public schools, and with the com pletion of the new buildings the dis trict will be provided with sufficient accommodations for several years to come.

Ser- eral hours of the day were taken up in posing for group photos of the sen- ate.
