JEWISH CONFERENCE
GREATER THAN EXPECTED.
Delegates returning from the pre-
liminary conferences OF Jews held in
Philadelphia report the gathering far
greater i'm breadth and achievement
than they had expected. They say re-
suits amply Justify the predictions OF
the promoters of a Jewish Congress
and discount the fears Of the American
Jewish committee, which has long OBJ
posed such popular gathering. and still
does so. The decision arrived at in
Philadelphia was to call the Congress
to meet I'm Washington at some date
prior to the end of the current year.
The aim of the Congress is to formu-
late plans and platform by which
American Jews can assist the Jews OF
the whole world. about 13,500.000 in
number to gain rights enjoyed by all
other citizens.
The Congress Just held had in At
delegates from almost all Jewish so
cieties in Americas The American Jew
ish committee viii, it is now said, hold
it's conference OF leaders in the near
future, and will probably arrive at
the same conclusions as the Philadel-
phia conference has done. Efforts are
said to be making to bring both class

gether that they may act in the name
Of a united American Judaism. Mean

P|ON HEIRS RECEIVE MER|TED NOTICE
 IN TIMES

The Exposition issue of the Ell Paso Times has the following to say of our fellow townsman Ike Stevens ex. Ierience in the early days of Clifton:
 Among the few remaining pioneers of the southwest, there is none more highly respected as a citizen nor any one that has done more to bring to the notice of the world the great cop- per mines of the Clifton-Morencf dis trict than Isaac N. Stevens of Clifton, Arizona. Long before the copper mines of the Warren or Bisbee district were known, or the Shefflin Brothers had discovered the famous Tombstone mines, Stevens and his associates had invaded the Clifton-Morenci district and found and located and began working the copper outcrops on what are now the, great mines of that dis trict. He still lives in his cozy cot tage at South Clifton, in sight of the great copper mountains with which his name will ever be associated, and lis still engaged in working some cop per mines with his brother, Charles Stevens, who is also one of the ofigT inal pioneers and discoverers of the district. MT. Stevens has held sev. eral public offices, such as supervisor of Graham and Greenlee counties, and is manager of the Chase Creek Mining company, New England company, to whom he sold the copper properties they own.
 Ike" Stevens and Bob" Metcalf went into the Clifton-Morenci district with about dozen others, in 1872, from Silver City, N. M, where word was brought of rich naturalization in the Chase Creek and San Francisco country and discovered and located among other properties which were to become famous as producers of copper the Longfellow and various claims in the Metcalf area. During that year they were almost the sole white in- habitants. In those days they were not only confronted with large diffi- culties of mining, treating ore and transportation to market, but were be- set with constant physical dangers from raids by murierous Apaehes. Even in 1882 number of miners were killed by the sayages on Gold Creek, and the town of Morenci was attacked by them. The next year after the dis covery, the Lezinsky Brothers of Las Cruces bought out Metcalf's interest, and in 1882 the latter sold out to the Arizona Copper company, n.u Prior to this, in 1878, the first smelter of the district was erected to treat the ores of the Longfellow mine. The A. c. company built a new smelting plant in 1882 These and the other claims located by Stevens and asso- ciates have since yielded millions of dollars, but the discoverers, for want of means, were compelled to sell their claims for small sum, for such is generally the history of the discover CTS MT. Stevens owns some valuable copper claims in the district and is considered one of the best posted min ing men in Clifton.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

During the summer months, from
 June to September, very little active
 york was participated in.
 The Boy Scouts of America are in
 very flourishing condition all over
 the country, from New York to San
 Francisco and from Buffalo to New
 Orleans. In Clifton, however, prog
 ress has been slow and disheartening.
 This may be the fault of the officers
 of the organization, the boys them
 selves, or the utter apathy of the gen.
 eral public to the welfare of the most
 important asset they have, namely, their boys and future citizens. No
 matter what the reason is, the result | exists despite which we would like to make the coming year the turning
 point in the history of the Clifton Troop.
 Financial assistance is badly need ed. The Troop Committee; Messrs J G. Cooper, A. w. Liddell and Asa Miller, will be responsible for any funds contributed. New York has raised two hundred thousand dollars for Scout work, while Fl Paso, this past week gave two thousand five i hundred dollars to the Boy Scouts Our funds amount to seven dollars duu lOTIy C6uIS, WOHuSllul COll- mentary on town the size of Cliff ton.
 While financial assistance is neces sary, additional assistant Scoutmast'
 CTS are also essential. One or two men cannot make a success of an or ganization, which has so many phases as the Boy Scouts of America. Hitherto we have been obliged to MT. J. G. Cooper and The Arizona Copper Company for our meeting places From now on we are happy in having the permission to use the Hill school building, where we shall meet
 on Monday evenings at 7:3O p. m.
 sharp, and shall gladly welcome any boy who desires to join this national
 organization.
 Any information concerning the
 Boy Scout movement will be gladly furnished to enquirers by, w. H. NEIL, Scoutmaster F. N. ANDRUS, Assistant Scoutmaster
