people believe In education hence one
of themost prominent buildings in the
little town is a substantial school
house. Like most of the communities
in the Salt river and Gila river val-
leys of Arizona. Duncan was original-
ly settled by Mormon families and
many of -these thrifty people still live
in and near the town. The community
is peaceable law abiding and prosper-
ous. There is a look of contentment
and .prosperity about every home. Dun-
can is in the new county of Greenlee
the county eat of which Is located at
Clifton. Duncan made a strong fight
for the county seat and was beaten by
Clifton by a -small majority. The Dun-
can people still insist that they have
the most promising location for a big
town and that with all Clifton's mln-
eal richness they -will make it jealous
some of these days.
Up to Slorencl.
From Tuncan thS" El Pasoans will
contin' -wn the Gila valley to Guth-
rie wl. they will abandon their
own train and take open cars on the
narrow gage Morenci Southern for
a few loop the loops into Morenci. As
they gradually climb up the narrow
crooked little road behind the puffing
little locomotive the view in the early
morning will be as beautiful as the
air is exhilarating. Morenci lies up
in the mountains at an altitude of sev-
eral hundred feet above Guthrie and
the climb on the Morenci Southern is
through one of the most picturesque
pieces of coontry in Arizona.
Crawling alongside a tremendous
canyon one moment the train dashes
into a tunnel and out over a bridge
across another canyon the next. Sev-
eral complete loops are made before
Morenci is reached. At one point the
passengers are taken directly over a
tunnel that they passed through a few
minutes before: at another place they
climb up over one bridge make a loop
and cross over it again on a longer and
ilgher bridge.
Morenci the Unique.
Suddenly the town bursts into view
with the smelter of the Detroit Cop-
per company and its huge slag dump
on the right and the homes of Mex-
ican laborers perched upon the hill on
the left. Before them rises the smoke
stacks from the power plants at the
mines about which the town is built:
high above the smelter on the right
looms the concentrating plant of the
Arizona Copper company. As the town
is entered and the train comes to a
stop upon the only level ground in
the place the visitors find themselves
surrounded by a bewildering collec-
tion of buildings that would do credit
to a city ten times the size of Mor-
enci. Just above is the great department
store of the Detroit Copper company
where the company sells everything
from a beefsteak to a suit of clothes:
from a hairpin to a diamond tiara
and standing beside this is a hotel that
would rival in appointment furnish-
ings and service many a hostelry in
a city of 50000 people. Two school
houses one that cost $12000 and one
that cost $20000 are nearby: the club
house for the people who work in the
mines offices and shops and on the
railroads also stands close a monu-
ment to the benevolence of the min-
ing companies operating the c.amp
erected by these companies at a cost
of $30000.
Handsome Residences.
Across the gulch for It is little more
than a gulch where the train stops
rise tho handsome homes of the offi-
cials of the Detroit Copper company
with their well kept though small
yards full of flowers and vines. Be-
hind the hotel on the hill that grad-
ually slopes away to the west are the
homes of the people who help the great
copper companies to produce their
wealth from the earth. The mining
companies own all the ground but
lease it to the employes at a nominal
rental and many handsome homes have
been erected. Flowers and shrubbery
are everywhere apparent. A good wa-
ter and lighting system and a local tel-
ephone exchange afford the people of
Morenci all the accommodations and
conveniences of a city. Perfect san-
itary regulations are enforced.
Straight ahead from where the train
stops are the material yards the shops
and the hoists and power plants of the
two mining companies and rising on
either side of these are more home3
and on one side a number of stores a
picture theater and other conveniences.
The big store of the Arizona Copper
company is located in this group. A
tunnel caries the ore from the Arizona
Copper company's mines. through the
heart of a great mountain to Its con-
centrator where It is hoisted from a
shaft several hundred feet deep. Elec-
tric haulage is the system used in this
mine.
The Detroit Company.
The Detroit Copper company draws
Its ores to the top of the mine and
transports them on narrow gage
railroad cars through the town to its
concentrator and smelter. The smelter
has recently added an additional fur-
nace and its capacity at present is
equal to 2(400000 pounds of copper
per month. The biggest month in the
history of this corporation which has
been operating since 1S82 was in May
last when over 2000000 pounds were
produced. The smelter was not orig-
inally located at Morenci but below
the present Morenci. where the Indians
often massacred the employes. The
company has produced 360000000
pounds of copper sinco the mine was
first discovered worth $54000000 fig-
ured at an average of 15 cents.
Two Big: Companies.
The mines of Morenci are operated
by the Detroit company and the Ari-
zona company but as the Arizona com-
pany's headquarters are at Clifton the
administration of the town of Morenci
is left largely to the Detroit company
officials. The Arizona and Detroit
company each have shafts almost in
the center of the great amphitheater"
around which the town Is built. The
Detroit's mill and several other shafts
are located beyond the town. Passing
through a deep tunnel straight ahead
the tourist comes out on the far side
to find another settlement of consid-
erable size other mining shafts and
the concentrator of the Detroit com-
pany. Altogether Morenci is one of the
most interesting mining towns in the
country not alone because of its plc-
turesqueness but because it. is so well
kept such a splendidly clean place so
well lighted by night. Contentment
and happiness evidence themselves in
the faces of the workingmen and their
families. A city of 5000 people. Mor-
enci is always peaceable. The mining
companies employ watchmen to pre-
serve the peace but their services are
seldom needed. Ko liquor is sold in
the town except in packages and its
drinking is not permitted in public.
Orcr to Clifton.
To Clifton straight over the hill
the distance is very short but to reach
Clifton owing to the precipitous hills
and the deep canyons that must be
avoided or carefully traversed the
trip requires over an hour by convev-
ance. The El Pasoans will run back
down on the Morenci Southern a short
distance and will transfer to. the nar-
row gage line of the Shannon Copper
company at Its smelter below Clif--ton
and be taken Into the town of
Clifton over this Una There they will
find their train awaiting them as it
will proceed into Clifton over the Ari-
zona and New Mexico road after the
El Pasoans leave it at Guthrie. The
fcl Pasoans will be tmesis nt lunnTmnn
at the Morenci hotel before leaving

DETAILS GIVEN BY
' THIS HOUSTONIAN
Tells How Plant Juice Has
Benefited His Wife and
of Her Gratitude To It.
Mr. W. G. Husselman who Is a
special factory representative of The
Smith & Barnes Piano Co. and who
lives at 1306 Chencvert Street in Hous-
ton tells in the following what Plant
Juice has accomplished for his wife:
"My wife has long been a sufferer
with stomach trouble and constipation
but the worst feature was the consti-
pated condition that nothing seemed
to relieve. I got her a bottle o Plant
Juice to try and it helped her in every
wav. All who suffer with constipation
will understand how grateful we both
are tnat she has louna a treatment tnat
will cure her."
Constipation is never cured by
cathartics as they tear down and also
form bad habits that get the bowels in
such a condition that they will not
respond to any treatment Plant Juice
cures constipation by acting on the
liver causing it to furnish nature's
cathartic rids the system of all danger-
ous poisons and builds a new struc-
ture of bone tissues blood and sinew
nearly starting us over again.
Plant Juice is a vegetable remedy ex-
tracted from the roots leaves bark
bloom and fibre of numerous medicinal
plants. It Is nature's own remedy and
gives almost immediate relief and leads
to permanent cure For sale at The
Kelly and Pollard Drug Store. Advertisement

S. A. at Alpine and vicinity are in-
creasing. Enough empty stock cars
cannot be furnished the town to load

ing the past week. The Cameron Cattle
company is holding nearly 2500 head of

LOSS OF $1000000 IN
EAST ST. LOUIS FIRE
drain Elevators and Warehouse Bnrn
end Railroad Terminals Threat-
ened by Conflagration.
St Louis Mo. Oct 20. The entire
railroad terminals of East St Louis
111. said to be the largest in the United
States were threatened with destruc-
tion by a fire of unknown origin which
began at 10 oclock last night and
wrought more than $1000000 damage
by 1 oclock this morning. The greatest
losses were the Advance Elevator com-
nanv. J6SO.00O rtnrt thn Chieasro & Alton
rRailroad company. S100.U00.
The fire originated in the elevator
which stands on the bank of the Mis-
sissippi river and soon spread to the
Chicago & Alton warehouse the Clover
Leaf warehouse and the Baltimore &
Ohio warehouse and the railroad yards
proper. The St. Louis officials "sent
several fire apparatus across the Eads
bridge to aid the East St. Louis depart-
ment The elevator contained about 250.000
bushels of wheat 150000 bushels of
oats and 75000 bushels of barley. The
fire originated on the side facing the
river and on that account was inac-
cessible. About 1 oclock the bulk of the eleva-
tor crushed to the cronnA and part of
the burning ruins "sTid into the river.
The huge heap of grain continued to
burn all night Twenty-five loaded
freight cars were burned. It no longer
is spreading.
that place for Clifton hence will have
no immediate necessity for connecting
with their train.
"Whole Evening at Clifton.
Arriving at Clifton the El Pasoans
will be met by the leading citizens
and entertained throughout the after-
noon and evening. The band will play
in the municipal bandstand during the
afternoon and probably will play for a
dance at the Clifton armory In the
evening as that was the program a
year ago when the Cliftonites enter-
tained the El Paso visitors most cor-
dially. Clifton Is another typical mining
town but its aspect is entirely differ-
ent 'from that of Morenci. While many
of Its homes. In fact most of them
are built upon the hillsides and In
this aspect the place is similar to that
of Morenci the town is different
Built along Chase creek and the San
Francisco river both these streams
flow through the town. The business
houses extend up Chase creek and
down the river backing up to tho
very water's edge almost. A bridge
over the river connects two different
sections of Clifton.
A Big Xeiv Smelter.
In the center of the town Is the
depot the handsome general offices of
the Arizona Copper company and the
smelter of the same company; also the
railroad shops. The smelter is to bo
dismantled In a short time as soon as
the new $3000000 plant of the com-
pany recently completed south of Clif-
ton can be put into commission. Just
outside the town between the city and
this new smelter. Is the smelter of the
Shannon company. Neither company
gets its ore from the immediate vicin-
ity of Clifton but the ores are brought
d wn from Morenci Metcalf and Cor-
onado. A narrow gage railroad oper-
ates to Metcalf. up Chase creek from
Clifton connecting with the ore lms
fird Longfellow and .inot'ur n.T-.nw
S.JSC road ownel by the fchaimon
i company and built on high ground
operates to tne stiannon mines also
located north of the town.
Features of Clifton.
Clifton boasts more individual stores
probably than any other mining town
in Arizona although the Arizona Cop-
per company also operates a big gen-
eral supply store and drug store in
the place. Chase creek section is one
of the most picturesque places in the
entire west with its narrow streets
ancient foreign looking buildings and
us large population of foreigners.
The new Clifton on the east side
of the river has much the aspect of
any western city except for the fact
that It is built very close to the river.
Substantial stores banks and hotels
are features. In these respects the
city is really metropolitan. Clifton
has a population of over 6000 people
and when boasting that.it is the county
seat of Greenlee county points with
justifiable pride at the handsome
county courthouse that adorns a block
In a new addition at the southern end
of town where many modern sub-
stantial homes are to be found. Clif-
ton also prides itself upon its educa-
tional advantages and can show school
houses as modern and substantial as
any in the west erected of brie or
reinforced Concrete and two or three
stories high with basements and
thoroughly mbdern- in all appointments.
The high school building is an ecpeci-
ally attractive well built structure.
Fire Has no Terrors.
Recent fires have considerably dam-
aged the town but Clifton has been
accustomed to floods and fires and
such things afford only temporary in-

HOLDS BLACKLISTING'
LAW CONSTITUTIONAL
Judgment far $100O Rendered Against
G. H. JE S. A. Railway In Case of
Discharged Brakeman.
Austin Tex. Oct 20. The constitu-
tionality of the socalled blacklisting
law which applies principally to rail-
road corporations was sustained by
judge C A. Wilcox in the 26th district
court in the case of the state of Texas
against the Galveston Harrisburg and
San Antonio Railway company. In
this case the court after a trial of
the case rendered judgment in favor
of the state for $1000 penalties. The
! state showed that one of the brakemen
of the company Albert Andrew Her-
man from Harris county was dis-
charged by the company without suf-
ficient cause having been given for
j such action and the company had re-
iusea to give its reasons tor discharg-
ing this employe. The state urged that
this was a violation of the anti-blacklisting
law as the employe in" ques-
tion was hampered in his efforts to ob-
tain work on other lines. The com-
pany gave notice of appeal to the third
court of civil appeals.
