 In the passing of Harry Metcalfe the Clifton Morenci District has lost one of it's best known citizens.
 In the early part of the year 1899 MT. Metcalfe came to Clifton and was identified with the Copper Era. MT Charles Bull. who passed away in Douglas several years ago. founded the Copper Era about that time and published it in an adobe house, which stood near the present site of the building known as The A. c. General office.
 Prior to coming to Clifton. MT. Bull published paper in Las Cruces, N. M., The Independent Democrat, and Charles Metcalfe, a brother to Harry, was publishing the Rio Grande Republican at the same place. Harry assisted in getting out the paper and often contributed matter for the news and editorial columns
 It was while there that MT. Bull became acquainted with MT Metcalfe and on starting the Copper Era he brought Harry with him to assist in getting out the paper.
 After severipg his connection with the Copper Era, MT. Metcalfe re moved to Mcrenci where he was enl- ployed by the Detroit Copper Go. and the Arizona Copper Co.,, in their mills for many years. # He again came to Clifton and was employed by the later Company as long as it operated. & s1
 MT Metcalfe formerly came from Cincinnati. Ohio, where he is under stood to have relatives of prominence On coming west he landed in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where in addi tion to being engaged in newspaper work. he taught school for many years
 Among the places where he taught are Tularosa. La Luz. Dona Ana ana Bents which is just off the western edge, of the Mescalero Apache Re servation and was called Wilson's al that time
 MT Metcalfe never married but al ways assisted in supporting his mo ther wnO died only few rnonths ago Last summer MT. Metcalfe visited her in Los Angeles. Cal, and it wa: a great comfort in his last days ths' he had done so.
 While in this district he made th' acquaintance of nearly everyone. d! he was a man who enjoyed meeting all classes and of all those he met, h. made friends. It is doubtful if h. had an enemy in the county.
 He was very much interested il making a machine that he fully be lieved would solve the mystery o perpetual motion and during his las years. put in much time working ol it. At one time he became yer. much interested in some form o Spiritualism but later became ident fed with the Presbyterian Church o Clifton where he always faithful assisted in the choir. His funera was held in the church and was al tended by large number of hi friends, many of whom acccmpanie' his remains to the cemetery.
 We will miss him as a friend an' as a man who was always courteou and kind, and being a man who req, widely. he was an interesting take and always tried to avoid giving oi fence to those with whom he differed --------------
