PAGE FOUR WEEKLY JOURNAL-MINER, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 26, 1916. BIG JIM IS IN A ffi BODY OF SAMPLINGS SHOW VALUES OF NEARLY $20 TO THE TON; BOUNDARY CONE CROSS-CUTTING TO VEIN (Los Angeles Mining Bureau) OAT-MAN. April 20. The crosscut in the Big Jim from the station at 485 feet depth encountered the downward continuation of the biff vein opened at 400 fect at a distance of 110 feet from the shaft. The cut has now pene trated 18 feet of ore, and its breast is still in ore. The ore is much more siliciflcd and much more oxidized than it was on the upper level, and appears to contain larger values. Official sampling will not be done until the vein is entirely crosscut. It was en tered from the hanging-wall side. On the 400-foot level above the vein was 46 feet in width showing an average value of $7.44 per ton in gold for the entire 46 feet. Unofficial sampling of the first six feet of ore opened on the new level is said to have given assays returns of $19.24 in gold. In the Tclluride property, which lies between the Lucky Boy and the cast em end of the Tom Reed property, a vein 25 feet in width has been cross cut on the 300-foot level. This is all ore. Mine sampling has just been 'completed, and assay returns arc not as yet available. Indications arc that it is low mill grade ore. The Luckv Boy shaft is now down 20 fect. As the discovery in the Telluridc is on the Lucky Boy ,vei". the development is of considerable importance from the standpoint of Lucky Boy operators and stockhold ers. On one side of the Lucky Boy the Tclluride has ore. and on the other side the Carter has developed splendid pay ore on this same vein system. Adjoining the Lucky Boy on the south and west is the property of the Tom Reed Junior Mining Com pany, and its shaft at p. depth of about 260 feet is all in ore. which is said to be averaging around $5 or $6 per ton. This vein System also goes through the Lucky Boy ground. Development in the Carter, Lucky Boy. Telluridc and Tom Reed Junior in this section seems to indicate that some big ore deposits will be opened well to the southwest of the Tom Reed and Unit ed Eastern properties within a com paratively short space of time The Boundary Cone is now cross cutting towards its vein on the 750 foot level, and the downward exten sion of the ore shoot in which has been developed a large tonnage of ore in the 550-foot level is expected within a few days. Adjoining the Boundary Cone, the Gold Dust Mining Company is devel oping a considerable tonnage of mill grade ore in the 200-foot level, in which a depth of 400 feet has been at tained at a point where operations are now being conducted. The later al is being driven into the precipitous J hill which marks part of this territory. The 'crosscut to the northwest in I the Ivanhoe property on the 500-foot ' level is now out about 175 feet. It is anticipated that it must go to a dis-j tance of about 260 feet to cut its vein system. In the Fcssendcn property cross cutting has been started to the north and to the south from the station on the 500-foot level. This property is being watched with vcrv much in terest. The Gold Range shaft is now down about 230 feet with three shifts of men working. Layers of silicified andesite from two to three fect in thickness contain gold values ranging between $4 and $8 per ton. The shaft is going down some distance from the main vein system on the property. The Adams Company, operating property located between the Nellie and the Oatman Crescent in the Black Range section of the Oatman district, has just started development work. This property has a yplcndid surface showing, and shallow development work done at various places in the property has exposed mill grade ore in a number of places. The ore is highly oxidized, and in character is typical of the big ore bodies which have been developed in other parts of the district. The Oatman Mining & Milling Company is continuing a steady prog ress and there is a general expecta tion throughout the district that a big body of ore will soon be opened in its Kokomo vein. The property is well equipped ,and the recommenda tions of Engineer Edward W. Brooks arc being followed in its development campaign. The Espcranza Exploration Com pany is starting development of its ground in the southern section of the district, the property lying between the Luckv Boy and the Oatman Cres cent in part. This company has one of the most spectacular surface show ings in the district, r.nd as prominent and experienced mining operators arc back of it, operations in tills territory arc being watched with considerable interest. A splendid plant of machin ery is just being placed in commis sion. MINING MAN RETURNS (From Thursday's Daily.) W. J. Grindle, of Reno, New, after an absence of over fifteen years, re turned a few days ago, to look over the country, and particularly to make an inspection of the Little Daisy at Jerome, being one of the original shareholders. He visited the camp on Tuesday and is elated over the property Mr. Gnu He also visited the Cash holdings near Maxton. THE WHITE SPAR GROUP DEAL IS CLOSED (From Saturday's Daily) ' Negotiations which had been pend ing for some time for the purchase of the White Spar group of three pat ented mines, came to a definite con clusion yesterday, whereby Ed. Block of this city, sold the group to A. E. Moynahan, of Denver, for a large sum. This transaction is out of the or dinary in mining movements of late in this field, and is the first deal clos ed whereby an antimony bearing ore proved the inducement for an oper ator to enter this field. Mr. Moyna han is prominently known in Colo rado, being the State mine inspector. He was attracted to the White Spar after learning of its mineral bearing construction, in which antimony fig- Jurcd to such a heavy percentage that an examination ot several days tuny verified reports received at his office. He said: "In Colorado -we have many silver mines, but antimony is lacking in the product, hence I came to Yav apai to find what is needed." The White Spar in its early days of activity, dating back to over 30 years ago, has a record among other old silver producers, in being a shipper when packing and freighting was rc quired to Scligman, the nearest rail road point, over 100 miles distant. Its antimony product was known, -but was then valueless. The zones carry ing this mineral were abandoned, ac cordingly, necessitating new explora tion at heavy expense. SilvcY slump ing led to its abandonment, except at intervals in recent years, when an oc casional leaser operated to disadvan tage under heavy transportation charges in marketing the silver pro duct at a low valuation. A parallel mineral situation to de velop in recent months, is the heavy demand for ores of this character that carry tungsten, and now the same sit uation arises in which ores carrying a combination of antimony and silver are equally in heavy demand as is tungsten. Antimony and tungsten in fact are running a ncck-and-neck race in market quotations, with the former as a favorite. Mr. Moynahan returned to his camp yesterday to shape up the property for immediate operations. He in formed friends that he is very much pleased over acquiring tlic group, as well was he surprised that such an unusual mineralogical proposition should have remained idle so long, considering its antimonial product, wnich is very heavy. The White Spar is situated near the Hassayampa river, near the Climax mines, and close to the southeast end lines of Copper Basing district. o U. OF A. TO GET EXPERIMENT STATION (From Saturday's Daily) In the near future title to the Prcs cott experiment station will be vested in the University of Arizona. Through the -interest of five prominent Cham ber of Commerce members, Messrs. R. N. Fredericks, W. A. Drake, M. B. Hazeltine, E. W. Wells and James A. Hope, a sufficient guarantee has been pledged so that the title may be changed and given to the university. Good results will accrue from this change, for the reason that the Uni versity of Arizona will expend con siderable money during the present year in constructing a new house for the superintendent, erecting silos and generally improving the experiment tract. , The attention of the members was called to the fact that some effort should be made by the University of Arizona to spread the news of the work of this farm, cither by issuing a pamphlet and spreading it broadcast or through correspondence. The farmers in Yavapai county should make it their business to visit this station often, view the work and learn from the experience of Mr. Bates as to the best crops to be raised in the various sections of the county. ACCOMPLISHED GIRL IS CALLED AWAY (From Friday's Daily.) Miss Grace McMahon Shanks, whose sad death occurml at Pnocnix during the week, will be remembered by many of this city, for her accom plishment as a musician, her winsome personality and her beautiful char acter. She was a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McMahon. and during her girlhood days attended the public schools of this city, graduating later, when she returned to her 'home at Greenwood, Wis. In later years she attained conspicuous mention in edu cational training, and graduated from the Waukesha, Wis., school of music. Ill-health overtook her and she re turned again to Prcscott about four years ago. her heart being affected. Recently she left for Pliocnix, .seek ing a lower elevation, but fate had ordained the end. much to the regret of many here and elscwnerc. Miss Shanks was laid away in this city. o THE YUMA-WARRIOR HAS GOOD SHOWING (From Saturday's Daily.) II. Wm. Stevens, president of the Yuma-Warrior Mining Co., which is operating the Bonanza group of gold mines in the Ilarqua lialas. is in the city on a business trip, and gives a good report of the progress of devel opment in driving the drift on the 600 foot level. The tonnage exposed is I of a good milling grade, and another run of the plant is to be made in a j short time. Mr. Stevens is also in j charge of development, and is on the (ground personally directing opera ' Hons. SHIFTING TIME TRANS FORMS OLD RANCH (From Saturday's Daily) Of the many mine undertakings in augurated in this county in recent months .that particular one now un der practical operation, situated in Thumb Butte district, within five miles of Prcscott! in reviving what has been known for over a quarter of a century as the Clark & Adams hold ings, is attended with more interest than usually attaches to movements of this character. This property, embracing a patent ed homestead area of 160 acres, is now in the hands of W. B. Tucker, of Oklahoma; John Morrison, a mining engineer of Colorado; A. O. Hyatt, of West Virginia, and F. H. Tucker, of Flagstaff. With them are associated a few residents of Prcscott, forming a strictly close association. The tak ing over of this mining ranch was closed a short time ago, under a bond and leasing proposition. Develop ment has started and samples of ore in the city show an attractive copper property. Without going into a detailed de scription of this particular mine move ment, a retrospective situation arises without a parallel in the present re lation of the property with that of the long ago. In the early 70s the tract was utilized solely as a dairy ranch, then shifting under a squatter's title to uses for grazing goats and cattle. The acreage also is dotted with pits, showing that the charcoal burner had many ovens, and the ruins of an old arastra still remain. Messrs. Clark & Adams went into that field when they had a sawmill to keep go ing, and the dense growth of pine was the inducement for them to buy the tract of 160 acres over 30 years ago. The desirable timber was felled and the mill moved to a new location in Groom Creek district. Title remained undisturbed in their hands, when pros pectors came in and performed limit ed development in recent years. The deepest shaft was only 20 feet, but the oxidized chalcopyrite ore condi tion became manifest and attracted interest. Three ycirs ago a leaser shipped two cars of ore to Douglas, with a margin of profit. Now new operators take up the work of deeper development, and if reports arc credi ble, results being obtained arc indi cative of a "Little Daisy" coming for Prescott to draw on. o ORPHANS' HOME CARING FOR 31 KIDDIES I (From Sunday's Daily.) The Arizona Children's Home Asso ciation was the outgrowth of a strong appeal for Arizona's friendless chil dren at the missionary meeting in the city of Tucson in May, 1912. Steps were taken for the organization, and officers were duly ele;tcd. In the Fall of 1913, Mrs. Julia Attix, of that city, heard of the movement on foot to start a home and informed the association that she nad donated a site of several acres two years pre vious for such a purpose, but that nothing had ever been done regard ing it. Immediately steps were taken for incorporation by the association in order that the offer could be ac cepted. The object of the Arizona Chil dren's Home is to cfrc for all chil dren, boys and girls, under any cir cumstances. It is not necessarily a home for adoption, but in case one parent is ill or deceased, and the oth er parent finds it necessary to earn a living, the children can be placed in the nomc for an indefinite period, with the hope that through some for tunate condition they may some day be restored to their parents. The home docs not encourage adoption unless both parents arc dead or when requested by the living par ents or by law. The home will place children for adoption in approved homes only. If the parent or guardian is able, a small compensation is asked for the care of the children, but if this can not be afforded, the children arc cared for in the same loving spirit as if pro vided for. The home is located on St. Mary's Road in the northwest part of Tucson, an lS-room house standing in the middle of three lots with plenty of fine shade for the children. The home is at present caring for 31 children, ranging in age from 9 months to 13 years. The association was started with no funds and up to the present time has no indebtedness. None of the of ficers receive a salary, their time and efforts being freely and lovingly giv en. The employes, a trained matron, an assistant matron, a cook and laun dress arc paid. This home is non-denominational in every respect. All children of school age arc sent to the public schools and each child is urged to at tend his or her respective Sunday school. The home is maintained by subscriptions and donations and any one is eligible to mtuibcrship upon the payment of $1. The plan of the association is to establish branches in every county in Arizona. It will also affiliate with the National Children's Home Associa tion when that body convenes in May. If a case of a homeless child comes to your knowledge, let us know and j the case will be immediately taken j care of by us. I MRS. CARRIE MERWIN.

With the United Verde Copper Company ar ranging to increase the output of its Clarkdalc smelter to more than 8,000, 000 pounds a month, the United Ver de Extension Company is planning to build its own reduction plant. It is generally understood here that the United Verde Extension has al ready closed a deal for L. L. Young's splendid apple rantfh, a mile north of Clarkdale, and will utilize the land as a site for its smelter. The loca tion is an ideal one, lying right be tween the Verde river and the Verde Valley railroad. The transportation and water questions offer no prob lems. Officials of the U. V. E. company, while refusing to confirm the story that the Young ranch has been pur chased, admit that the mine must have a smelter of its own. They say that they have the biggest body of high grade copper ore in the world and that to continue to ship the ore to Douglas for treatment would be folly. Besides, it is practically impossible to find outside smelter capacity to take care of the increased ore output that is being planned for. In March daily shipments from the U. V. E. to Douglas averaged 150 tons. The total return was, in rounS figures, $500,000, and the expense was about $20,000. April shipments will average 200 tons a day. The ore averages 20 per cent copper. Four-fifths of this ore comes from development work being done on the 1,400-foot level, in the way of drifts, crosscuts and raises. The other fifth is stoped from the 1,200. Operations arc greatly hampered -by the lack of air. Only 130 men arc now being used, though tiicrc is room for many more." The property is equipped only with two small com-1 pressors but a compressor with a ca pacity of 1,500 cubic feet has been or dered and will soon be on the ground. If it is deemed advisable, the output can then be doubled. When the new compressor is in place a winze will be started in the i south drift, 1,000 fect from the mam shaft, and sunk to the 1,600-foot level. No one who has ever seen that ore body on the 1,400 doubts that it con tinues on down to untold depths. The real truth about that ore body has never been told. It is known, however, that there is a 60-foot streak that averages 40 per cent copper, wnilc the general average is around 20 per cent. The U. V. E. officials them selves do not know how wide the ore is. Adjoining the U. V. Extension is the Jerome Verde. Under a contract which has been in force about three weeks, the U. V. E. people, from their own workings, arc doing 150 feet of development work monthly in Jerome Verde ground. United Verde. Although it is not being operated nearly to its full capacity, the United Verde smelter is now treating 2,500 tons of ore a day. All but 150 tons of this comes from the United Verde mine. Fifty tons of silicious ore is received daily from the Commercial mine, in Copper Basin, near Prcscott, and 100 tons, also silicious, comes from tnc Ludlow mine. The daily output of copper from this tonnage is a little over 200,000 pounds. The smelter's monthly pro duction is over 5,000,000 pounds. Im September this will be increased to 6.500,000, and in November to S,000. 000. This will not be riccomplishcd by adding to the present equipment for the smelter, for it is already equipped to handle a vastly greater tonnage, but by increasing the ore production of the United Verde mine. A crush ing plant is now being constructed at the mouth of the tunnel that enters the mine on the l,C0G-foot level, and will be completed in June. Its pri mary purpose is to supply 1,000 tons of "lines" daily for the revcrberator ies, but practically al! tiic ore mined will pass through the crusher. Much of the increased ore produc tion will come from No. 5 shaft, which has been sunk 800 fect from the 1,000 foot tunnel level. This shaft is the deepest working in the mine. Ar rangements have just been made to have it concreted. When this is done an electric hoist, with a capacity of 3,CO0 feet will be placed at this shaft! A new electric hoist has been ordered to replace the old one at No. 4 shaft. The United Verde Company now has l,SO0 men on its payroll. This force will be increased about 500 dur ing the Summer. A contract for the construction of 40 new houses in Clarkdalc is to be let by the company in a few days. Two Strikes. Two new strikes have added to the ( mining fever that now prevails in Je rome. One has been made in the Cop per Chief, the other in the Dundee- Arizona. The Copper Chief, four miles south of Jerome, is owned by the Hayden Development Company, and no de tails regarding the strike have been made public. It is known, however, that a contract has been let for the freighting of 30 tons of copper ore daily to Clarkdale, to be shipped from that point to one of the smelters m the southern part of the State. For years the Copper Chief was supposed to be only a gold and silver nunc. It has a splendid surface show ing of gold ore. The main ledge is 20 feet wide from the surface to the 160-foot level, and it averages $8 a ton in gold and silver. At 300 feet a drift was run 150 feet, all in copper ore averaging 2 per cent. At 350 feet, the present depth of the shaft, the ore is much higher in cop per. It is from this level th3t the ore to be shipped is now being stoped. It is silicious in character. A tunnel taps the shaft at 350 feet and through this the gold ore mined above the 160-foot level is trammed out to the mill. The plant, which is a tube and ball mill with cyanide plant, is treating 125 tons of ore a day and saving 70 per cent of the values. It was completed only last October and is one of the most modern mills of its type in the Southwest. James Wellington Finch, the noted geologist and mining engineer, is now at the Copper Chief making an exam ination. It is understood that he is formulating a plan for the develop ment of the unexpected copper de posit. Shea Copper Co. Just south of the Copper Chief, but on somewhat lower ground, lie four patented claims owned by D. J. Shea, one of Jerome's most prominent mer chants. The surface showing is fully encouraging as on Copper Chief ground but the copper values arc much higher and the gold values less. About $5,000 worth of work has been done. Several shallow shafts have been sunk and some short tunnels have been run. All arc in ore; at no place has cither wall of the ore been cut. There arc eight or nine out crops, all running well up in copper. Dundee-Arizona. The Dundee-Arizona property con sists of two patented claims, the Green Flower and Green Up, lying on the south slope of the "Hogback" and less than half a mile out of Jerome. They were held a number of years by F. S. Stephen and Alexander Muc kay. Stephen recently organized the Dundee-Arizona Mining Company, with 500,000 shares, par value $1. The owners received 275,000 shares for the property and the remainder was tak en over -by a syndicate of Phoenix business men who sold 100,000 shares at par. The history of the financing of the Dundee-Arizona affords a close parallel to that of the Green Monster Company, for the stock offered for sale was greatly oversubscribed. Cutting through the claims for a distance of 700 feet is a ledge of con glomerate, stained a vivid green and averaging all the way from 6 to 12 per cent copper right on the surface. A tunnel has been driven into this ledge 264 fect. It soon passes througa the conglomerate and enters the lime, which is also heavily impregnated with copper. There arc frequent water courses through the lime and fn-.m their walls samples running as high as 30 per cent copper can be broken. From the 200-foot point in the tun nel a shaft was sunk 100 feet into the lime, and the copper values held. A raise was thc-.i started to connect with a shaft sunk 65 feet from the surface. When 70 feet above the tunnel level and within five fect of the shaft, the raise chipped into tiic edge of a blind lodge of lime carbonate and glance averaging 25 per cent copper. This ledge was penetrated only last Fri day and there has been no opportunity to determine its extent. A site is being graded for a gaso line hoist that is on the way. When this machinery is in place the shaft1 will be sunk to a depth of 1.000 feet Nine men arc now employed under the direction of Superintendent J. A. Hubbard. j The Jerome Verde. The Jerome Verde Company, which owns 28 patented claims surrounJcd j on three sides by tnc United Verde. U. V. Extension and Dundee-Arizona, is not now doing any development work on its own account but is short ly to let a contract for the construc tion of 2,100 feet of toad to connect! with the location chosen for a icw shaft site. This road will cost about $4,000. As soon as it is completed machinery will be installed and the shaft will be sunk tj a depth of atj least 1,000 fect. The site selected for the new shaft is about 2,000 feet southwest of the United Verde Extension's Edith shaft and on a line between that and the Dundee-Arizona workings. If loca tion counts for anything the Jerome Verde will prove to be one of the big things of the district. From the old shaft, down 700 feet, some good ore was shipped about a year ago. Calumet & Jerome. An option on the Calumet & Jerome group has been secured by the inter ests in control of the Shattuck-Ari- zona Company, of Bisbcc. It is un derstood that they have practically closed a deal whereby they gain con trol of some claims owned by Joe Larson and Charles Sutter, and that they arc to undertake development soon. North Verde. The Goodrich-Lockhart Company, of New York, has acquired the four claims of the North Verde Company and is holding them under the name of the Mowlcs Copper Company. This company has not started development and it is understood that it is delay ing in the hope of securing an option on 51 per cent of the stock of the Arkansas & Arizona Company, which owns 14 claims adjoining. One of the finest hoists in the Southwest is at the Arkansas & Ari zona and it has other splendid sur face equipment. The shaft is down 1,500 feet and is in a good showing of low grade copper ore. Experts are of the opinion that commercial ore "will be opened at about 2,000 feet. Grand Island. There is an excellent chance that the development of the Grand Island group, adjoining the Shea on the south, will be resumed shortly. This group consists of 13 patented claims, with a surface showing similar to that of the Copper Chief and Shea. A shaft, down 200 feet, is equipped with a hoist good for 600 to 700 feet. At the surface, the values arc gold but copper begins to come in at 80 feet and at 85 feet the shaft enters a three foot body of sulphide. A crosscut had been started from the bottom of the shaft several years ago when the principal owner killed a man and was sent to the peniten tiary. Through the efforts of James M. Layman, the legal complications were cleared up and it is understood that the company may soon be fi nanced for a resumption of opera tions. Housing Problem. The difficulty of housing her rapid ly increasing population is the most serious problem facing Jerome today. In round numbers the present popula tion is 3,500, but this will be doubled by the end of the Summer if the peo ple can be taken care of. Every train that goes into Jerome and Clarkdalc is loaded with mining engineers, in vestors and persons seeking employ ment. It is almost impossible to get a room at the hotels. Lodging house keepers fill their rooms with cots and strangers bunk side by side, but still the pressure is not relieved. VESUVIUS AGAIN IS COMING TO THE FRONT (From Sunday's Daily) Miners arriving from Placentas bring news that McMahon brothers, owners of the old Vesuvius gold mines, situated near Zonia, have a new vein of free gold bearing ore, 18 inches in width that will run high, it samples are any indication by which to judge. They resumed development at a point known as the cast vein, and the strike is said to have been made at a depth of about 80 fect. The origin al shaft on the Vesuvius was sunk many years ago to the 200-foot level. and its production ran into the tnoa sands, by arastra treatment and ship ping the grade that went as high as $700 to the ton. all free milling in character. H later years it went in to a leasing proposition, and finally it was taken over by ihc owners, pro ducing occasionally. McMahon brothers have confined themselves for the past few years to developing their copper holdings nearby, and have just finished ship ping five carloads :f a high grade copper ore to Hayden smelters. Here after, they state, they will devote their time to the Vesuvius, and soon will be ready to begin shipping. o JESSE MARKHAM DROWNED IN SALT RIVER (From Saturday's Daily) Mrs. William Blount, of this city. received a telegram from Globe Thursday night bringing word that her brother, Jesse Markham, had been drowned during the day in Salt river. His body was recovered near Kirby by the sheriff of Gila county. Markham was in charge of a large number of cattle which he was Jriv ing across the stream, which was very high at that point. He was swept under with his feet in the stirrups of the saddle and was carried for over two miles. At that identical point in the river two months ago. and while driving across a big bunch of cattle. Markham was caught in the switt current but rescued later by com panions, lie was supposed to have been drowned but an old Mexican woman resuscitated him after others had failed. The deceased was well and popular ly known throughout this county, in range circles particularly, having been a resident for over 15 years. He was aged about 2S year. .Mrs. Blount left this morning tor Globe to take charge of the body and arrange forj the funrcal. 1ELEGATES ARE SELECTED BY IBI 22 MEN CHOSEN TO REP RESENT COUNTY AT TUCSON CONVENTION; MANY AT MEETING. (From Sunday's Daily.) One hundred loyil Republicans, men and women, from every part of Yavapai county yesterday afternoon, attended a mass meeting in Odd Fel lows' hall and elected 22 delegates to represent this county at the Republi can State convention at Tucson, May 6. Practically every one of the 22 delegates chosen has signified his willingness to go to Tucson and, from present indications, proxies will be conspicuous -by their absence at the gathering. The meeting yesterday was called to order by Chairman Charles M. Raiblc, of the County Central Com mittee, who read the call of the meet ing. B. W. Mowday was then elected chairman of the meeting and A. H. Powers, secretary. D. J. Thompson moved that dele gates to the State convention be nom inated from the floor and that the chair appoint a committee of three to report back 22 of these names to be aded upon by the mass meeting. The motion was seconded by P. R. Milnes and carried. Chairman Mowday ap pointed P. R. Milnes, chairman and Ed. Kurmcir and E. W. Stephens, members of the committee. Nominations were then opened and the following names submitted: R. E. Morrison, H. W. Heap, S. F. Dcni son, Ed. Kurmcir, LeRoy Anderson, Dr. J. W. Flinn, Richard Lamson, C. E. Gentry, J. P. Streigel, G. M. Col vocorcsses, A. W. Edwards, D. J. Thompson, R. C. Lane, B. W. Mow day, H. C. Hcffleman, D. E. Parks. E. W. Wells, C. H. Cordcs, Roy N. Dav idson, C. A.

Joslin, and the rest of the 24 ladies present. While the committee retired to con sider the nominations, Robert E. Morrison delivered an interesting ad dress on present problems confront ing the American people, pointing out the many lamentable mistakes of the Democratic administration and plead ing for a national government that would make the American flag an ob ject of respect, instead of ridicule, in foreign countries. At the conclusion of Mr. Morrison's address, P. R. Milnes, chairman of the committee, asked if any of the wom en present would be willing to serve as delegates to the Tucson conven tion. None of the fairer sex express ed such a -desire, but assured the Re publicans that they were ready to put their trust into whatever delegates were chosen. After a short recess, Chairman Mil nes reported that the committee had recommended the following as dele gates: Prcscott R. E. Morrison, E. W. Wells, E. S. Clark, R. J. Roper. Sidney Birch. LeRoy Anderson, L. H. Bcy erlc, F. O. Smith, P. R. Milnes, Harry Hcap, Dr. J. W. Flinn. Jerome S. F. Denison, Dave Mor gan, Ed. Kurmcir. Roy N. Davidson. Clarkdalc R. C. Lime. Humboldt G. M. Colvocoresscs, B. W. Mowday, J. P. Streigel. Mayer J. E. Bark. Junction Chas. E. Burton. Ash Fork John E. Fagerberg. Mr. Colvocoresscs, of Humboldt, stated that he could not attend the convention, and under instructions, the committee recommended A. W. Edwards, of Prcscott, to take his place. On motion of LeRoy Anderson te report of the committee was accept ed and the 22 persons named therein were selected as delegates to repre sent Yavapai county at the State con vention. o REPORTS GOOD SHOWING (From Thursday's Daily.) M. J.
