LARGE RESERVOIRS
BEING ERECTED
RWATER co.
Force of Men Now Engaged in Erect
ing Large Reservoir Above A. C.
Cos. Hospital in HIPS Addition
M ateriaI Transported by
Inclined Railway

A number of men for the past two
weeks has been engaged in the erect
ing, above the hospital of the Arizona
! Copper company, in Hills Addition,
of a large reservoir for the Clifton
Water company. The work is under
the direction of F. C. Merica, who
for many years has been employed in
the capacity of construction engineer
by the Ell Paso Bridge e Iron com
pany, which firm was by the Water
company awarded the contract for the
erection of the reservoir.
The new reservoir is to have a
capacity of two hundred thousand gal
ions, and is being erected for the
purpose of more fully safeguarding
the southern portion of Clifton
against the destruction of possible
fires, it being, often demonstrated that
the present facilities of the Water
company are not sufficient to proper
ly care for the needs of the town in
that respect. The new reservoir will
greatly increase the pressure of the
mains throughout Hills Addition, it
being estimated that the pressure
upon the operation of the reservoir
will be probably eighty pounds to
the inch, a large increase over that
at present obtaining. About twenty
days will be required for the compile
ton of the erection. Twelve men
are now emploed in the various
phases of the work.
An interesting feature of the cree
ton of the reservoir is the operation
of an inclined railway, built under
the direction of Mr.. Merica for the
purpose of transporting the materials
from the base of the mountains upon
the heights of which the reservoir
will be placed. Mr.. Mercia has
built a complete railway and up its
steep incline, in places more than
forty per cent easily brings the ma
terial. A steam engine at the base
of the line supplies power, operating
cable of about fifteen hundred
feet in length This is a great ad-
vantage over the only other method
of transportation, by hand, that con-
fronted the builders. The building
of the road required only a few
days, and is a very interesting illus
tration of engineering skill.

GATTI WILL BUILD SPLENDID
RESIDENCE IN RIVERSIDE
On Site of Residence Destroyed by
Recent Riverside Fire, Gatti Be-
gins Building of Beautiful
Home.

J. c. Gatti has awarded to the
contracting firm of Vandercook and
Black the construction of a handsome
residence on the site occupied by Mr..
hhGatti's home before the recent fire
that destroyed all of Riverside with
the exception of the Shannon hos
pital and the residence of DR.. Nc
Pheeters. Work on this residence be-
gan several days since, and will be
carried to an early completion.
The price of this home is large,
about $4,000. 90, making it easily
among the most desirable in Clifton.
Duncan Mcneil was retained for
drawing the design of the building.
This building, with the home to be
within a few months erected by G.
A. Franz, adjoining the Gatti resi-
dence will make of Riverside a sec
ton more beautiful than before the
recent fire.

LUTTBEG At EMPIRE
FLOORS SANDOW
WITH FACE
Local Wrestling FANS are Hugely En-
tertained on Evening of January
When Former WORLDS Champ
ion Vanquishes Sandow the
Strong Man-Good Boxing
Exhibition Same Eve.

/ The local wrestling and boxing
fans, with a number of Morenci' s
fans, largely assembled at the En-
pire theatre, the headquarters of the
Clifton Athletic Club, on the evening
of Saturday, January 3, there to wit
ness the contest between Sandow,
the Strong Man, and Max Luttbeg,
the former lightweight wrestler of
the world, who on this occasion gave
to those assembled an illustration of
wrestling that would seem to make
likely his ability to again enter the
lists as the worlds champion, as he
threw his opponent twice within
eight minutes, thus bringing grief to
the many who staked ther respec-
tive sums upon the squirming prof.
cheney of Sandow.
Luttbeg apparently gained the vic
tory with the greatest ease, employ
ing on his opponent the deadly ham
merlock hold, and with this instru-
ment so incapacitated his adversary
that the result was foregone. San
dow while doing a good fight, was as
clay in the hands of his superior op-
ponent, who upon the consummation
of the fierce locks took from Sandow
all hope of more than making Lutt-
beg's victory ameliOrated.
Also on that evening an excellent
boxing exhibition was given by Ross,
the local colored boxer, and Young
Ad Wolgast, who has been entertain
ing in Clifton and Morenci for some
time. Both men proved themselves
to be we'll informed with the rules
of the game. Ross on January IA
will at the Empire meet in contest
with Joe Herrick, who is admitted to
be the champion pugilist of his
weight, which is the weight of Ross,
IN, fho yho
witnessed performances of both men
are agreed that the forthcoming
match will be we'll worth the efforts
of the pugilistic fans to witness, and
that it will easily be the best spec
tacle in the boxing world that Clifton
has lately been able to accomplish.
A full house on that night will in all
probability entertain the boxers, who
will enter the lists with plenty of
support from their respective be-
levers.
Luttbeg and Wasem report that
Rocker, of Globe, where he is en-
ployed on the police force, has not
yet answered their letter accepting
his challenge to wrestle either of
them on any date that might suit
their convenience The intimation is
that Rocker has advisably cancelled
his hopes of flooring either of these
men who are known as the highest
exponents in the art in the United
States, Wasem being the present
lightweight champion, and Luttbeg a
former champion, the latter giving
way to Wasem in a contest staged
some time since at st. Louis, the
native place of both men. Luttbeg
will probably leave Clifton within
the near future, not being successful
in matching himself with any oppon-
ents of celebrity.

CLIFTON AND MoRENcI
EQUALLY MATCHED
Players of Old Fashioned Football
Game Make Scores that Tie
Witnessed by Many Spectators.

The Association foot ball teams of
Clifton and Morenci met on the Cliff
ton grounds last Thursday with the
result that the final scores showed
a game of two to two. This game
was hotly contested, and was witness
ed by many spectators, who to the
fullest enjoyed the game as they had
seen it played in the countries of
Britain, of which countries all the
players, and most of the spectators,
are natives.
1t is probable that these teams
will play more games this season,
the interest being keen among both
players and spectators. However, at
this writing no definite arrangements
in that respect have been made.
