Mr. Shannon, who has recently become quito a contractor and builder, visited Duncan for the purposu of liguring on tho erection of a new brick residence for S. W. Massey. Just before leaving on her long journey to 1 Mrs.

Lynch contributed to the Sister's Orphan Home at Tucson, and also collected each from Burns and Jack Greene for tho sanio purpose. The money was forwarded to the sisters by express. K. F. Buss, of Safford, sont Monday in Clifton delivering tho illustrated edition of the SatTord Guardian, one of the hamlsotnost and best publications ever issued in Arizona.

Mr. Buss did most of tho work on the edition, and deserves much credit for its got up. The paH-r was a financial success. Luther Groen, one of tho proprietors of Green's stage line, came over Katur-day last with the Globe ball team, which ho brought from Solomonvillo to Coronado. About fifty passongors came over from Solomonvillo that day, and Mr.

Green's line handled the crowd in a most satisfactory manner. Mrs. C. K. Bull, wife of one of the editors of this paer, was taken very ill last week, and for a few days her life was considered in danger.

Dr. Falos, assisted by Dr. Meyers, performed an operation which gave relief, and the patient is now considered out of danger.thanks to their skill as surgeons and good nursing. Owing to the muddy condition of the river, the Arizona Copper company has intulo arrangements for hauling Guthrie water to Clifton and the saaw will distributed to thocitizons -UK out extra charge. The supply will be limited to what is necessary for cooking and drinking purposes.

The new steel railroad bridge which spans tho San Francisco river at this place, ha been completed and turned over to the A. M. It. It. company.

It was built by the Missouri Valley Bridge company and is certainly a substantial and satisfactory pieco of work. Tho bridge gang is now at work on orno trestles below town, which will require their timo for two or three weeks, after which they will return to their homes in the east. Hon. Ben Titus, one of the old time land marks of Lordsburg, spent Monday last in Clifton selecting ground for the L. W.

BUnn Lumber company. Tho yard will bo located near tho "Horn" alongside of the railroad right-of-way. The company will carry a large stock. Mr. Titus has been in charge of tho Blinn lumber yard at Lordsburg ever since the ya-d was established, which has been more than twenty years ago.

He is a good business man, and has many friends in this section. Dr. John C. Barney, dentist, has obtained a front room in Central Hotel. He is a graduate of Los Angelos Dental college which is a member of National Associatiun of DanUl college.

BASE BALL. The Clifton and Morenci Teams Both vicwnons. Sunday last was a red-letter day in the history of base ball in Clifton. The Lordsburg and Globe teams arrived Saturday night. Eighty-nine people came up from Lordsburg, and there were about fifty In the party from Globo and the lower Gila valley.

About half of the population of Morenci was in evidence, and when it comes to downright, thoroughbred rooting on improved lines they are the "hot stuff." Metcalf and all camps up the river were well represented, and Clifton, well, she is somewhat of an enthusiast on the great national game, and turned out almost en masse. It was a second edition of tho Fourth of July. The game between Lordsburg and Clifton was called at The Lords-burgers led off with two scores in the first inning and then chut Clifton out. But Clifton was not discouraged Th team had been reorganized with their" old pitcher, Johnny Williams, in the box and Mike Rose as catcher, and with the 6trong support of the Clifton and Morenci rooters they soon came to the front and until the end of the seventh inning rolled up the score like professionals. At the end of the seventh the score stood six to fourteen in favor of Clifton.

But the Lords- burgers were clean grit and commenced to move with an energy that elicited applauso from all present. The way those railroaders rolled up scores was beautiful to see. Lordsburgers went wild and Cliftonians were anxious but confident. Clifton made but two runs in tho last two innings, and in the last half, with Lordsburg at tho bat, the result was mighty doubtful. In the eighth Lordsburg made three till lies and in the ninth six, leaving Clifton but one run ahead.

Lordsburg had two men out and two men on bases and a sure man at the bat. At this time the excitement was intense. The crowd broke over the rooes and sur rounded tho players, and the Clifton rootors being in majority, had things pretty much their own way. and it was doubtless due to their energy that the baiter went down in defeat, and Clifton won hor first victory of the season. It was a hard fought battle-, and one of the most interesting and exciting games ever played in Clifton.

The Lordsburgers took their defeat like the true sports that they are. It was a good, clean game of ball, and many excellent plays woro made on both sides. Tho score stood 15 to 16. Con siderable money changed hands on the result, much to tha satisfaction of Clif ton and Morenci. At 2 p.

m. the Moronci and Globe teams lined up. Of courso the Morenci boys were the favorites, because home people hayo long since realized that they are an unusually strong team. Clifton has groat respect for tho Mo renci team. It cost Clifton sports a good round sum to learn that Morenci was well nigh invincible.

Like the man from Missouri it was necessary to "show them," but sinco the Fourth they have great respect for tho Mo ronci ball tossers, and they backed them liberally. Tho Globo team was at a great disadvantage. Tho stage ride from Solo-monville was long and tiresome, and left the boys stiff and in poor condition for playing ball. Their pitcher was sick, and had been for two or three days, but it was generally conceded that he pitched the swiftest und most deceptive ball of any man who had ever been on the Clifton diamond. Their catcher was not in condition for ball playing, and after the first two innings failed to hold the balls.

During tho first two innings, however, the Globo boys held down tho sluggers from Morenci, but after that the game was one-sided, and at tho end of the ninth the score stood 7 to 20 in favor of Morenci. The feature of the game was a tripple play made by ChoqueUo of the Morenci team," the only tripple play ever made on this diamond. There were men on first and second bases, who ran on a fly. Choquette caught tho fly, passed it to second, and from second it was passed to first before the runners could return to their bases. It was good work and elicited much applauso.

Whllo tho game was one sided, it vn Joan bail, and waa played without jtST. manager of the Globe team, a true lover of the sport, while not satisfied with the result, expressed himself us well pleased with the manner in which the game was played. On Monday morning, IS. S. VanGor-der, manager of the Morenci team, sent down hacks for the visiting team, and during tho day entertained them royally at Morenci.

Before leaving for home Tuesday morning all of the Globe people expressed themselves as highly pleased with their reception and treatment. Battery for Morenci Young-Hale. Battery for Globe Gray-Delaney. The Globe team is composed cf as fine a lot of boys as ever played ball in Arizona. They had many friends among the spectators who gave them much encouragement.

They were a liberal lot of boys and made things pleasant around town for their friends, all of whom wish them better luck in their next games. Among tho prominent people who accompanied tho Globe team were Bob Williams, county recorder; Will Fisk, cashier O. D. II. H.

Ilartman, L. S. S. Was it Accidental On Saturday latt at 10 a. Ramon Villarrel.

son of one of tho most nent citizens of Metcalf, shot himself in the upper part of the face, through the cheek boies, with a 4-calibre revolver. Dr. Frick of Metcalf, assisted by Dr. Fales of Clifton, dressed the wound, and the young man is doing well and will undoubtedly recover. He is about 20 years of was iu excellent health, and apparently in the best of spirits.

He recently returned from the Agricultural College at Las Cruces and was spending the vacation at home. Since the shooting occurred he has not been able to talk, hence it cannot bp learned whother the shooting was accidental or intentional, but his friends and relatives are of the opinion that it must have been the result of an accident. On Tuesday night a surprise party was given Dr. and Mrs Falos, it being the fifth anniversary of their married life, or wooden wedding. A large number of young people gathered at their beautiful home and a most enjoyable evening was spent.

Many of the wedding presents showed a keen sense of humor in their selection. Among tho practical presents, was a good strong buck saw for the Doctor, with full Instructions for its use. Tho party broke up at an early hour, wishing the Doctor and his estimable wife many happy returns of the day. John Strange was arrested Sunday evening charged with an assault with a deadly weapon upon Rccso Webster. The case will be heard this afiernoon before Justice Wright.

It seems that the two men had some trouble on Conglomerate Avenuo. Webster started for Morenci with a load of people, and when he reachod tho postottico he was met by Strange, where it is alleged in the complaint tho assault was made. Constablo Hamilton was notified of tho probable trouble, and getting on a horse reached tho scene just in time to prevent what might otherwise have been a serious encounter, and placed Strange under arrest. Will Wood and Miss Coel came near being drowned in tho San Fraucisco rivor Saturday last. They were on horse-back, and attempted to cross the river at tho ford just below town.

Miss Cool's horse gt into a hole of quicksand und disappeared beneath the water, i The horse fell on the young lady and embedded her in the quick sand, from which she could not extricate herself. Mr. Wood dovo for her twice before finding her, and bringing hor to tho surface. She was badly bruised up by the horse, and was rescued more dead than alive. At one time both of tho horses and their riders were benoath tho water.

It was a narrow escajw for both of them, but especially for tho young lady, who has not yet fully recovered from the bruises received and from the shock and excitement of the accident. So far this year the board of school trustees have employed only two teach ers for the Clifton schools. Since last year there was an increase in the scholastic census of moro than one hundred. In order to do full justice tc tho school there should havo been at least fourteachers employedlast year.and cer tainly it will be impossible to get along with less than that number this year. This district now has a credit of $501.39 and will undoubtedly receive $1935.00, making a total of $2430.29, which is certainly amply to employ four teachers tor an elgnt mouuis tenar wetcq surely be much more satisfactory than a longer term with only two teachers.

This is a matter in which all parents as well as school children are i a teres ted. The matter should be discussed, and if it is found possible to do so, four teachers should be employed even though it be necessary to collect some funds by subscription to maintain the schools. George H. Chase, the contractor and builder, is erocting a shop and office on Copper avenue, opposite the Manila Hotel. It will be a neat building.

Katz company's. MINE AND The first car of machinery for the Shannon smelting plant arrived yesterday. The total output of the Klondike district for the four years of its history-have been Leadville district has pro! need to the present time 1200,000,000 of mineral, and is now producing at thj rate of 815.0ii0.000 a Year. The smeltins plant of tho Arizona Copper company was closed down this morning, in order to tear out the old furnaces and install the new, which will be accomplished in from four to six weeks. The total value at tho place of production of tho mineral and metal output of tho United States in I'JOO was as compared with in 1 a gain of 1170,393,946 for the year.

Mr. Lawyer, in charge of the Arizona Territory Copper company's property in the Greenlee district, was down from the mines this week, and reports work progressing most satisfactory at the camp. He thoughjt was "a little warm" In are several thousand feet hiaJr than Clifton, which makes a very perceptible difference in the temperature. Tho month of July was a record-breaker for Cripple Creek dividends. The total to be distributed was $080,000 and will swell tho dividends for the year to date to $3,071.305.50.

This represents the payments made by the public companies only and doos not take into account the profits divided by close corporations and individuals, which will swell the amount to nearly $4.000,000. Reports from Cripple Creek, give the results of the first ten years of mining in that anniversary day being July 4. It is computed that during those ten years of mining the camp has produced $100,003,287 of gold bullion, of which have been produced during the' last half of the decade. The annual average gold production of Cripple Creek during the five years ended July 4, 1901, is stated at $18,513,05:. F.

Dagle, one of tho enterprising prospectors of this district, came in last week from Sardino creek with some very handsome specimens of sparr well sprinkled with native copper. Since the discovery was made some ton or twelyo locations were made along the creek, and prospecting is now going on there. Some of the claims show native and oxide on the surface. The mineral veins are small on the surface but development may open up important discoveries iu that section of the district. m.

A. Parnal, for many years superintendent of the mines and works of the Old Dominion Copper Mining Co. of Globe, has resigned his position. It is said by some of the papers that he will assume, the suporintendency of W. C.

Greene's Manzonel mines in Old Mexico. Tho ERA is privately informed that Mr. Parnal will retrun to Michigan, where he has boon offered very tempting position by one of the big producing companies of that sec tion. Mr. Parnal was a valuable man to the Oid Dominion.

J. C. Cotey, who is in charge of tho Mayflower Mining company's property in the Mayflower district, camo in from the mines Tuesday. Tho company is pushing the work of development on several claims of its property, but has been delayed by bad air in its deepest working shaft. All of tho claims are making a good showing.

The main shaft has gono down fifty feet in a body of fine sulphide ore, which gives every evidence of permanency. Mr. Cotcy reports considerable activity in the district. D. M.

Riordan and daughter, accompanied by Professor Spills bury, arrived in Clifton last week. Mr. Riordan Is interested with the General Electric company in the purchase of a large number of copper mines and prospects in this district, and Professor Spills-bury, who is the president of the American college of mining engineers, is here to examine the properties, and is now on the ground making the ex Tilt in in now un- der bond, and some development work is being done upon it. Active development work on a number of the best miues of the eighty claims purchased will probably be commenced early in September. Ex-United States Senator Dorsey, and his associates, have arrived in Los Angeles en route to Picacho to inaugurate vigorous development on the large group of mines owned by them.

Mr. Wiliiam Farrish, M. examined the property, by reporting a very large tonnage of pay ore in sight and recommending the purchase of the property. A railroad six miles in length from the mines to the Colorado river is to be immediately constructed. Mexicans with dry washers, are scattered over the surface of tho property at all seasons of the year, and it is said from $1 to $3 per day jer man is cleaned up.

The material washed in this way is eroded matter from the large dyke which Dorsey and associates contemplate working in tho j000-ton mill to be built on tho Colorado river. Los Angeles Miuing Reviewi The Copper Matte mfniog aud milling company has filed articles of incorporation with the territorial secretary. The incorporators aro W. M. Griffith, B.

F. Jossey, and E. E. Frye. Capital stock shares 5.

The principal MINING NEWS. olfiee will bo at Tucson. The mines are located in tho Greenlee district a few miles from Clifton by E. E. Frye, an old time prospector of this section.

The mines consist of the Veiled IVo-phet and last Chance group, upon which a considerable amount of money has been ient during the past eight months. Since the incorporation of tho comjiany three contracts for development work have been let to I. F. Crowley, who has already commenced work. One tunnel is now in on the Veiled Prophet 230 feet and has cut a large body of sulphide ore.

This tunnel will be continued as rapidly as possible. Mr. Griffith was formerly United States marshal of Arizona and Mr. Josscy was his principal assistant. They are men of means and also well connected hence it is not likely that the company will have trouble over financial matters.

Mr. P. II. Wiseman, general manager of the Shannon Copper company, returned this week from the east where he spent some timo ordering tho machinery for the new smelting plant. Mr.

Wiseman says that the strike will not materially effect his order. Much of the machinery is now ready for shipment, and will bo on the road as soon as the track is laid on the railroad which will connect tho plant with the A. N. M. R.

It. About all of the 6teel and other supplies for the road have arrived, and track laving will soon be commenced. Mr. Wiseman was accompanied home by D. G.Davies, of Butte, Montana, who will have charge of the mine during tho temper ary aosence of Wm.

Climo, superintendent of tho mine. Mr. Davies is an old time Arizonian, having resided in Tombstone during its early days. He was also connected with the Graphic smelter at Socorro in tho early 80's. He will remain permanently with the Shannon company, and will be con nected with tho smelter after its erec tion.

Mr. B. Wcls remained in Chicago superintending tho building of the machinery for the plant. The Homestako mine has now stamps at work with a crushing capacity of 3,500 tons day. Tho average daily output is about $14,000 and since 1S77 the mine has produced The Homestako is- a consolidation of tho old Homestako, tho Highland, Deadwood, Tena, Caledonia and Father Do Smet.

The total dividends paid by tho consolidated com punios is about $14.000.000. Since starting tho old Homestake has levied assessments of only and has paid dividends annualy ever since, amounting to 000,000, before the consolidation. The only mine that can rival the achieve ments of the Homestake. from a Iinanc-ial standpoint, is the Mount Morgan, in Queensland, Australia. In tho latter case, however the ore was phenomenally rich, running belter than five ounces in gold for years; whereas last year tho Homestako oro only milled $4.31 per ton, or one-fifth of an ounce of gold.

Denver Record Poor old Smokey Jonos was the discoverer of tho Homestake, and like most prospectors, saw many years of hard living after disposing of bis interests in the great producer. Smokey has long since crossed over the divido, his energy as a prospector enriched the world $05,000,000, and the mine is now only fairly well developed. No class of people work harder than tho prospector, nor live rougher, aud yet but very few of them ever make anything above a bare living. They are tho pioneers in the great business of mining. Without them many of the best producing mines of tho west would not havo been discovered.

Tho opening up of tho mines not only puts millions of dollars in circulation throughout tho country, but it also gi ves em ploy inent to thousands of strudy miners at top wages. Yet very few of the nabobs who roll in luxury as tho direct result of the energy and intelligence the prospector, appreciate the hardships, tho trials, and bitter disappointments of tho poor bellow who spent bis life in the hills that prosperity might como to others. He always looks forward with brightest hope, yet is satisfied with a small grub stake, with which to pursue his lonely pilgrimage through the hills. The prospector is not appreciated. Ho is regarded by many as an idler and a drone, but he is usually a hard working man, aud as honestas tho day is Jong.

He may be given to romancing sometimes in describing his latest strike, but that is because he is enthusiastic. Without that enthusiasm he would cease to be a prospector. It is part of his business and as essential as his bu; ro and camp outfit. In tho hills he has been known to go for days without water, but when in town he has an unquenchable thirst which refuses to bo satiated. When he makes a sale he is a prince while his money lasts, and is considered legitimate prey by tho human vultures of tho camp.

When his money is gone he cheerfully packs his burroe and is off again to the hill, where ho is supremely happy. He is a simple child of nature, without a care in tho world. But he has a habit of growing old. and his declining years are ful of trouble. A homo should be provided for the superanuated prospector where his last days could bo spent in peace and quiet.

It is a wonder that none of tho many multi-millionaires whoso money came through the mines, have not thought of this, and provided a homo for a few hundred old time prospectors. He deserves it, and what a joy it would be to the donor to see the old boya sitting around, smoking their pipes and spinning yarns of their prospecting days. The writer may never be rich, but if the fickle Goddess of Fortune ever smiles on him, his first investment will bo in a home for the prospector, and boys, there will be a little something hid away in a corntr to tickle the palato. and to re fresh the memory of by-gone days. 1 PURELY PERSONAL S.
