A JEROME DISASTER
United Verde Works Closed Down by
 Cave h.

Jerome, Ariz. Oct 10.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican.)-A cave at the great Verde works this morning has caused damage to the eX- tent of thousands of dollars, and the end is not yet. The cave began at about o'clock and at the present hour, 1O:3O is still caving. An area Of tnous- ands of square feet is affected. In this area stand the blacksmith shop, ma chine shop, boiler shop, foundry, rail- road tracks, ore bins, rows of small company cottages, tramways and other costly improvements. As yet there is no idea to be obtained Of the damage that will result from the cave Watch men are stationed around the shops to keep the crowds from venturing too near the line of danger. There is no telling at what moment some certain piece of ground may drop several feet at once, 90 IL is dangerous to stand in the line of the cave. On the track above the smeiter there is a string of cars half buried in the cave. At the present time their contents is being

At the time of the cave there were no miners working in the mine. as it was between the time of the working of the two shifts. Some fear that the power house may be affected n hNr [ hp l,,t seems to be no fear of such d catas- trophe. Should the cave extend that far the works will necessarily be crip- pied indefinitely. The rows of cottages on the hill above the hoist house are in some danger of going down the hill with the slide. Two of them have all ready slid out of plumb What the damage has been under ground have been unable to learn. The cages in the hoist house are sliding up and down. SD il is certain that the shaft has not been damaged. Above the hoist house the ground is settling dangerously near the shaft. Two years ago the 21st day of last July there was a cave which took in the foundry and assay office, killing three men in the latter place. Ever since that time the ground in the foun- dry has been settling, little at a time. There are no miners in the mine and all the men have come back that work in the shop.
 A big mining deal was made in Je- rome this morning whereby d fine group of mining claims pass into the hands of Los Angeles people who have been long identified with the mining business. company will be formed within the next ten days
 Col. Bosworth went to Phoenix this morning to get some work done in the foundry there. The work was to have been turned out in the foun- dry connected with rie Verde company, but the cavein changed the plans somewhat. The casting was to

in securing a sufficient number of sailors
to man the new blttleslIias and other

from the Philippines to make UP the COM
plements of the new ships at home.
1t is stated at the Navy Department,
however that no action in that direction

the failure TO offer them was taken as
an indication of weakness.
It was learned later by interviews with
