tion as (o occasion the proprietor to
stand with his back 'to the two confeder
ates, one of whom slipped his hand be
hind the boxes and securing the small
box notified the other Mexican talking
to Mr. Becker, then all three left the
store.- Mr. Becker missed the box short
ly afterwards and had the men arrested,
-but they were turned loose on want of
evidence for conviction.
' The people of Morenci, through Mess.
Ilagan and Everhardy, have made ap
plication for a survey of the townsite of
the east end of the town, in order to ob
tain proper titles to their holdings. As a
point of evidence showing the necessity
felt by purchasers of real estate in the
town, it is only necessary to mention a
; circumstance that occurred within the
last month : A merchant of Morenci
bought a lot on which was located a
large frame building. The price paid
was $1,100. and the purchaser had al
ready made arrungements to rent it for
$60 per month, but learning that it stood
on ground owned by the D. C M. Co. he
immediately resold it to the party from
whom he purchased it for $700, only to
afterwards learn that the company had
a land claim on but a very small portion
of the lot.
The D. C. M. Co. are now erecting a
large dust chamber which will extend
140Teet, being self-cleaning. They are
also erecting a large stack 14 feet in
diameter' and 150 feet in hight. This
is the second, time the company have
made, an effort to rid the works of the
mnoke and dust, but owing to (he former
stack being of too small a diameter a
sufficient draft could not be had for forc--ing
the smoke. To those of our readers
who do not understand the principal un
der which these stacks and air dust
chambers work, The Era will say that
after the smoke' and dust leaves the fur
nace it goes into a chamber wheiein the
dust drops and the smoke continues on
its ' way up the stack where it is caught
by an upper stratum of the air and car
ried off, being prevented from falling to
the earth by the lower current of air.

Deputy Constable Hart has turn
ed all dogs looBe. He killed one
this week that had torn the . dress
from a Mexican woman. From
reliable sources The Era learns
that the dogs are not affected with
-hydrophobia, but have fever of the
brain occasioned by a small worm
which enters the brain through the
ear and causes irritation. It is
stated that there has never been
a case of hydrophobia in New Mex
ico caused by a dog bite, and, per
haps, the same statement can be
made in regard to Arizona. It
would be a tfood idea for owners of
dogs to keep the animals' . ears
well greased, which might prevent
the worms from lodging in the ear.

Suddenly Disappeared.
Will Campbell, cook for the Markeen
Copper Co., suddenly left the camp about
two weeks ago and has not been seen
since. It appears that a companion of
Campbell brought out to the camp two
bottles of alcohol which they consumed,
and together they lett for parts unknown.
Manager Balbach says that what adds to
the mystery of the matter is the fact that
the company owed Campbell a small
sum in wages for last month which he
did not draw. He also speaks of Camp
bell as being not only a first-class cook
but a trustworthy man, and says .he is
mystified at his sudden disappearance.
Neither Campbell - nor his friend have
been seen in Clifton. J
