.LONGFELLOW EX.
 GETS MACHINERY

The Longfellow Extension Copper company, whose property lies up Chase Creek near the Longfellow ore bins, completed it's organization on Monday with the election of the fol- lowing officers: President, Capt. c. Henry Thompson; Vice-President w. J. Riley; Secretary, 1. N. Thompson; Assistant Secretary J. F. Niccolls.
 A car load of machinery arrived in Clifton this week which is now being installed on I.ie property, and upon the completion of the installation ac- tive work will begin on the property. when a tunnel will be driven and de- velopment work will be prosecuted wig orously. The machinery consists of a compressor, engines, blowers, venti- lating blower, tools, mine cars, etc.
 Capt. Thompson, the president of the company, has been in the district for the past year in the interest of the company and now that prepara- tions for the active development of the proeprty have been completed he will leave for his home in Los Angeles for few weeks visit and much need ed rest.
 The property which is considered one Of the best propositions in this S0CIlOH Ol IH0 SIdIS, lISS Ou LhO WCo1 side of Chase Creek near the Longfel- low ore bins and consists of 38 claims or 760 acres. The ore porphyries and cretaceous rocks of the famous Long fellow mine are prominently in evi dence along the surface, and Chase Creek has eroded a deep canyon, the precipitous walls of which offer op portunity for cheap development by tunnels. A tunnel is already in 40C feet which is intended to cut under a large mineral outcropping of iron gos san, which shows streaks of good cop per ore. This tunnel will have a depth of 800 feet or more when ex | tended.
 The property is also excellently situ ated as regards a townsite, millsite and shelter site, and it is the hope o1 the management that these things vii become reality in the course of the short time. Indications point to . bright future for the company and an other big producer may be brought tc life in the Clifton-Morenci district.

Pringle, candidate for school trustee, had no opposition and was elected by S5 of the 91 votes cast. MT. Pringle had no opposition and was elected in place of O. A. Ris- don who was not a candidate for re- election.
 The carrying of the bond issue will now enable the trustees to carry on the improvements at the different buildings which have been contem- plated as well as the addition to the Chase Creek school which is badly needed to relieve the congestion. Up on the mpletion of the work now outlined the district will be in better condition than ever before in it's his tory and the schools will have facili- ties unequaled anywhere in the state.

STORE IS ROBBED FOUR TIMES

Riley's Confectionery on the East Side was visited four consecutive nights by an unknown thief, a small amount of money being taken on each occasion. The thefts began the latter part of last week and continued until Monday night when the keys tO the es- tablishment were turned over to Night Marshall Smith who kept a lookout for the midnight visitor.
 Early Tuesday morning Smith lock- ed the place and proceeded across the street for bite to eat. Upon return ing to the store he heard a noise in- side and unlocked the door as soon as possible but by the time he reach ed the interior the bird had flown, evidently having made his exit through window at the back. No trace of the marauder has since been found
 Pete estimates his loss at about S15 the bulk of the receipts being put in the safe each evening before closing up, otherwise the unwelcome visitor would have been pretty we'll reward ed for his trouble. At that Pete says 1t is pretty tough being robbed when he is fighting losing battle with the high cost of living. He has been plan ming several improvements to the building, one of which was big doub- le entrance in the corner, and now some of the boys are mean enough to say that the old single door will have to serve until Pete makes up the loss. ,N
