 deep regret. to his many friends in Clifton and those with. whom he was more closely associated in life.

 MT. Truesdell was a man of re tiring disposition and one who placed the comfort of others above his own. He numbered his friends by his ac.
 Quaintances and they will ever re member him as an honorable and up fright citizen.

 The home of MT. and Mrs. R. L..
 Taylor in South Clifton was sadden- ed on Christmas morning by the death of their little daughter, Genevieve, death being caused from
 tubercular spinal trouble from which the little girl had been a sufferer for several years. The little one had patiently borne her suffering and through it all was of a sunny disposi- tion and although sad to those who are left to mourn her loss, her taking away on the Lords natal day was enc of the acts of providence which only He who said Suffer little chil- dren to come unto me" can interpret.
 Funeral services were held at the Baptist church on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Curry H. Love officiating. In- terment was made in the Masonic cemetery. MT. and Mrs. Taylor have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.

Dies from Drink


 Booze claimed another victim on Christmas day in the person of Jose Saucedo, who was employed in the A. & N M. boiler shop. The deceased went to Lordsburg on Saturday and returned to Clifton Sunday with a well filled suit case of the stuff that cheers. Upon reaching Clifton he was in an advanced stage of intoxica- tion and upon the advice of friends he went to his home to recover from the efforts of his debauch. Saucedo was evidently afraid to face the long drouth which is about to set in and proceeded to drink up large share of the contents of the suit case with the result that Demon Rum laid his icy hand upon his brow and called lfim hence to the land where the fiery liquid is an unknown quantity Deceased was a member of the A.

OPENS BUREAU IF
 MINE INFORMATION
Ready to Answer Questions About Any Arizona, Property or District

Dan Rose, an old time miner and newspaper writer of the Globe Miami district, has opened a general Ari- zona mining information bureau at 35 East Adams street, Phoenix.
 The need of such a bureau has long been felt. There is no organi- zation in Arizona which keeps on file information about the various mines and prospects. The state mine inspector pays no attention to prop critics that employ less than six men, and has very little information that is of value to the stockholder or prospective investor. Commercial or ganization and newspapers receive and attempt to answer hundreds of inquiries about various Arizona min ing propositions, but often their in formation is incomplete or not up to-date. The Jerome News for in stance, receives almost daily inquir- ies about mines in Cochise, Santa Cruz and other southern counties,
 
 information unless by accident. In the future all inquiries received at the News office about properties outside the Verde district are to be referred to MT. Rose.
 Keeping track of the thousands upon thousands of mines and pros poets in Arizona is no light task, but there is no one better fitted to un- dertake it than Dan Rose. It will involve clipping practically every paper in Arizona every day or week as the case may be, filing away those clippings with prospectuses or other literature issued by companies them. selves.
 In his enterprise MT. Rose has the backing and approval of the most important mining men of Arizona The executive heads of big companies like the Miami, Inspiration and Old Dominion have promised him theil cooperation and support.

Jubilee Singers

Jubilee Singers
 Hann's Jubilee Singers who appear ed at the Princess on Christmas night were greeted by full house and those who were present acclaim them the, best aggregation of the kind that has visited Clifton for some time. The same troupe was here some two years ago and their reputation was already established in this section. The di- versity of the program left nothing to be desired, their selections ranging from the singing of old plantation melodies to grand opera, selections from Rigoletto and others being rem dered. Ham himself has one of the finest bass voices ever heard in Cliff ton, being deep and voluminous and of great carrying power. The ap- plause with which the numbers were received showed that the audience was duly appreciative of their ef- forts and it is hoped that they will again visit Clifton when standing room will be at premium.
