 C. A. JACKSON, Editor and Mgr

During the interview MT. Thomson had nothing but praise to offer the public in general for their courteous treatment during his stay among them and further aded that as he had spent the past 19 years in the Clifton -Morenci district it would al- ways be home to him and that both he and Mrs. Thomson, although loath to leave so many loyal friends among whom the best years of his life had been spent, yet he could not con |scientiously reject the offer of pro- motion.
 Official confirmation of his promo ion and the appointment of M. H. Mclean as his successor was made on Sunday through MT. Walter Doug las, of Bisbee, who visited Morenci on that day, and MT. and Mrs. Thomson left this morning for New York City where he will take up his new duties. MT. Thomson will, how ever, keep in touch with affairs in this district as he. states that his duties will bring him to Arizona at least twice a year and upon these occasions he will be assured of a hearty welcome by all his old friends.
 MT. Thomson is one of the best known men in the Clifton -Morenci district and his resignation is accept led witL regret by the company and employees as well es those who are so fortunate as to claim his acquain- tance. He has ever worked diligently to further the interests of the com pany as is attested by his record. He has been looked upon as man of keen judgment and acute foresight which has time and again been demon strated since his incumbency as gen eral manager of the company. A sincere and straightforward gentle man and one who could be relied upon at all times either in business matters or in private life and in his resignation the Detroit Copper con-

pany loses a man who has put forth his best efforts for the betterment of the company as well as the camp. Upon his departure for New York he carries the best wishes of many friends whom he leaves behind in this district.
 In the selection of MT. Mclean as his successor in Morenci they have made no mistake as he is thoroughly conversant with the affairs of the company as well as being strictly
 posted on the mining conditions of the district. There is perhaps no man in the district or one associated with the company who is more thor Ioughly capable of performing the off,
 ces of general manager than MT.
 Mclean. His appointment is hailed
 with delight by his nitimates as well
 as his acquaintances and he is in
 deed a worthy successor to a most worthy predecessor. He needs no
 Introduction to the Morenci public as
 he has spent great many years here
 in the position of mine superintendent and his long connection with the af- fairs of the company has aptly fitted
 him for his new position.
 MT. Frank Mclean will succeed him as superintendent of mines and lit is announced that the position of assistant superintendent will for the time being be abolished. General Manager Mclean announces that no Iother changes in the official family will be made at this time although in his regime progressive policy will be maintained at all times as in the past.

Navassa Island Lighthouse.
(Washington Starr

Because the Panama canal, when
1t comes into its own with the close
Of the European war, will refashion
the trade routes of the world and
lead an endless procession OF vessels
through waters hitherto unfrequented
the United States government Is pre-
pairing to go far afield and establish
q lighthouse on on Navassa island,
g small rock islet of the West Indies
east of Haiti.
The light will be unique in that
it will be the only one maintained by
the United States alone on land not
a part of its national domain. This
government is not wholly without
claim to the half-mile of rock that
constitutes the island, however, for
generation ago guano deposits were
exploited by an American company,
which found 1t norman STAND. /"
AT that time the courts of the United
states assumed Jurisdiction when a
murder was committed on the iso-
lated patch of rock and brought the
murdered to book at Baltimore When
the need of lighthouse on the is
land was felt, therefore, 1t was not
deemed necessary to negotiate with
any other country, though several
countries have at times claimed ow-
nership.
Congress appropriated $125,000
for the erection of the Navassa light,
and the federal lighthouse bureau
will soon call for bids. The light will
have beam of $4,000 candle-power,
that can be seen for 81 nautical miles.
There is one other lighthouse thai
Is in a way comparable to Navassa
This Is the light on Cape Spartel,
the Moroccan hearland across from
Gibraltar, which has been maintained
since 1857 by joint contributions from
Great Britain, the United States,
Morocco, Austria, Belgium, Spain,
France, Italy, the Netherlands and
portugal. n#
There are several other rocky is
lands and reefs in the caribbean sea
that should be marked by lights
for the protection Of Panama can
al traffic, according to mariners, and
1t is probable that when the lanes of
travel become well Established the
Navassa precedent may be followed
by the establishment of several others
