ACTIVITY IN MoRENcI
CONTINUES STEADY
Depression in the Hill City is Perhaps
Less Noticeable Than in Many of
the Arizona Mining Camps.

That the general depression which
is evident in the Southwest has eff
fected Morenci perhaps less than the
majority of mining camps in this sec
ton may be easily seen by the casual
observer who visits the Hill City.
Although the wages of the company
employees have been cut and the
number of working days reduced YET
the activity manifest at this time n
comparison with many other places
is source of qualification to the res
dents of the camp.
In comparison with other towns In
this section, Morenci has been for
tunate in that the exodus of her popu-
lation has been small, the greater
number of those leaving being foreign
ers> and of the Americans who have
left the greater per cent have been
single men. It is understood that at
this time there are more children at
tending school than at any time In
several years which goes to show that
very few married men have been laid
OFF. 1t was thought at the beginning
of the school year that there was an
excess of teachers but the enrolment
up to date shows crowded condition
Of the Morenci schools.
Both the Phelps-Dodge Mercantile
Company and the Arizona Copper
Company stores have their holiday
goods on display, and although the
stocks are wholly adequate the dis
plays are not so extensive and Of so
great magnitude as in former years;
the sales at this time are very encour-
aging and the prospects are good for
q successful holiday trade.
The mines are being steadily oper-
ated with a curtailment of the num-
Der OF working days and improve
ments are being made all over the
camp, although these have been
greatly reduced.
AS a matter Of fact Morenci has suf-
fered to certain extent from the de-
pressed conditions but taking it upon
the whole the residents have cause
for reorganization that the conditions
are as favorable as they are. In past
times when conditions of a similar
nature have assailed the country Mo
Tencf has forged ahead and heidi its
own and there is no doubt but what
in the present crisis she will sustain
her stability, and after the reaction
will regain renewed impetus looking
forward to an era of unprecedented
progress.

Killarney Girls Good

| A good sized audience greeted the
appearance of the Killarney Girls in
/; their Irish folk songs at the Morenci
Club on Saturday evening. and that
1.-THE entertainment was heartily appre-
ciated was evidenced by the continued
applause accorded the company. Their
rendition of the old songs was perfect
land the voices harmonized splendidly.
The management of the Club is to be
congratulated upon being able to Sc
cure an entertainment of such merit
and it is to be hoped that during the
coming social season many more at
fractions of like merit may be secur-
ed.

BILL sLIvINs.'


Affairs in military circles in Morenc1
have been moving some during the
past several weeks, owing to the
numerous enlistments and the special
efforts put forth to fill Company M to
its full quota. The results have been
gratifying to the officers and they are
confident of making the few final en-
listments during December. On last
Sunday about twenty-five members
were taken to the company target
range where they shot target during
the day from the three hundred and
five hundred yard ranges. The new
recruits made some wonderful scores
shooting with the high powered army
life and the results of the practice
'<ere very satisfactory. AT noon the
hNys enjoyed a substantial dinner
cooked and served army style. In
be near future practice hike to
Dick Lakenan's camp is anticipated,
to practice scouting and general army
tGctics. Col A. M Tuthill and
Capt. Hadicke will be the judges of
this affair.

LIP to Old Tricks

Up to Old TrfckS-
One of the most important events
of the week was the badger fight
RULED off by the English Sporting
Club at their recreation grounds on
Monday morning The animals had
beel trained for weeks, and were in
fine condition for the contest, the
plantigrade carniverous animal OF
nocturnal habits being an old timer
and hard to handle.
After days of training by Phil
Moore. better known as "Skats" he
announced the contest as ready for
the fray as the British feet Is to
meet the Gerpans. When the sign
was given '.Skat' grabbed the-schain
with both hands and did the best he
could but was unable to hold the
bloodthirsty beast, he being one Of
the white variety and = one Of the
most ferocious of the species.
The other canine animal did not
take the second look but beat it over
the Hills and was heard of fourteen
minutes later going through Metcalf.
Owing to the sudden disappearance of
the dog all bets were called off by
the judges, with the exception of
"Skats'' which were Immediately paid
with soda water and other liquod
refreshments. - "a
