CLIFTON EDITOR SENDS NEWS ITEM
 38 YEARS. OLO
Las Cruces Republic In September 1882 Published Account of the Sale
 of Clifton Mines to A. c. Go. Ltd.

The editor of the Copper Era re- ceived few days ago letter from David Bronson, formerly proprietor and editor of the Mining Journal of Clifton. MT Bronson is now associat- ed with his brother in the publication of the Rio Grande Republic at Las Cruces.
 MT. Bronson writes that a few days ago he had occasion to go through the old files of the Republic and in the issue of that paper, dated Sept. g, 1882, he descoveref
 giving account of the sale of the min ing claims in this district to the Ari- zona Copper Co. Ltd.
 The clipping is as follows:
 "A $3,O0O,00o SALE"
 "The Lesinsky brothers have sold to a Scotch company the IIongfellow, Coronation and Queen group of copper mines at Clifton, Arizona, and their appurtenances, including four miles of railroad which leads from the smelter to the Longfellow mine,. for S3,OO0,O The same company has also purchased the noted Metcalfe group in the same district for S1,000,- GOO In addition to this immense out lay the company has a reserve of $2,000, 900. ft is said the intention of the purchasers is to build a railroad to connect their works with some' one of the continental lines. We are un- der the impression that Ed Polk and C. M. Shannon were co-partners with Metcalfe and Porter in the Metcalfe group. We are also informed that a sale is virtually closed for another valuable copper property at Clifton belonging to c. M. Shannon and Bela NJ Hughes. The purchase money, as stated to us, is s1,000,O00. All of these mines were located by Robert B. Metcalfe in 1872.
 Tt is a source of qualification to us to know that Messrs. Metcalfe, Shan non. Polk and the Lesinsky brothers are so comfortably provided foE They are. worthy men, and merit this rich return for their many privations dur ing the time they braved the dangers of that exposed frontier settlement which their energy and foresight created.

BOLD L0CH|NVAR
 COMES LIN DANCE
 SCENE AT M0RENC|

A bold Lochinvar event was staged in Morenci on Sunday evening last with Andres Tellez, prominent young Mexican business mnan, playing the title role, and Miss Valentino Melen- dez, beautiful Senorita, and the daughter of a prominent family, the maiden fair
 On Sunday evening a dance was in progress at the rink in Morenci at- tended by the Mexican elite of the town Among the Mexican ladies pre- sent none were so fair as the Senori- ta Valentino Melendez in the eyes of Andes Tellez, who evidently had courted at her shrine without suc- cess.
 Andres did not mingle with the dancers. In fact his presence in the vicinity was not known, until he dashed up to the dance hall, mounted on spirited steed, and leading another. He dismounted at the door and strode across the dance floor with a forty five gun in his right hand and going straight to the object of his af- factions, he seized her by the arm, and flourishing his gun at the dancers, proceeded to lead her to where the horses were tethered
 The bold intruder had reached the outside and was in the act of compel ling the girl to mount his horse when the intrepid lover was rushed from behind by several young men and disarmed after struggle.
 In the general melee the girl vanished and Tellez shook off his as- sailants, mounted horse and made good his escape.
 The officers were soon on the scene in answer to a telephone summons but tn fleeing Lochinvar, with his plumes Iedraggled, had completely vanished.

Phoenix, June H. Congressman Carl Hayden ha3 arrived in Phoenix While with the house committee on Indian affairs which recenly visited Phoenix to inspect Indian schools and various projects, Congressman Hay den was notified that congress had adjourned and returned here.
 Speaking of the recent visit of the congressional delegation to Phoenix MT. Hayden expressed the opinion that the trip was a most important one from the first hand information obtained by the members of the com mittee on irrigation projects on In- dian lands. One of the chief features of this, he said, was the contras. ob- servable between the Indians of Ari- zona and those of other places in re- gard to the irrigation of the land as pursued by them.
 Every time the question of Indian lands is brought up'', he said 'irriga- :. tion is made paramount issue, and declarations are heard to the effect that the development along this line is wasted as far as the Indians are con cerned. Persons making these state ments have a far different concep- ItOA lndn IS Iypln0u Dy JHS 1nuidh Ol Arizona reservations, difference which the members of the Ind;na com mittee who visited here had an op- portunity to realize by personal ins- pection of reservations and the inn provement worked by irrigation"
 The Arizona Indians, he said, are throughly familiar with the irriga- ton system and have applied it in times before the Spaniards came here.
 The visit of the committee here in Phoenix was one of the best things that could have happened fo' Teal status of the irrigation question to be settled in the minds of the members from Washington, he said when they saw just what the Indian was doing with the irrigation facili tes of the Salt River valley in culti vating the land.

 POSED BY STATE ASSESSORS
Contemplated Measures would Amend Consfitution and Increase States
 Burdens; Report Shows How
 Officials Would Be Affected

Phoenix, June 3-Combining the increase of salary needs of school teachers with those of state and coun- ty officers, the committee appointed by the State Assessors association has drafted an initiative measure which will be placed on the ballot at the next general election.
 Under the proposed act the mini mum wage for teachers would be $120O for the first year and $1400 for the second year. Increases ranging from 20 percent ti 66 2-3 percent are provided for all state and county of ficeTs, including judges of the super for court.
 This measure has been drafted by the committee after mature consider ation and consultation with the repre- sentatives of the school teachers, with the various departments of state and with county officials as well, and has been printed in the belief that while it may not suit everyone, it represents a compromise of the various needs and is in harmony with the general recognition of the fact that teachers and public servants are entitled to in creased pay to meet the higher living costs. +...z
 The increase for state officials are approximately $92;0OO per annum in the aggegate, and for superior court judges about $11 1000 more. /
 Election Officials
 The salary of the governor would be increased 20 percent, that of the chief justice and judges of : the supreme court and of the attorney general, 50 percent and all other state elective officials 66 2-3 percent. Just what this means is shown in the following table:
