JEROME AND VICINITY.
Great Prospects For Mining Enter
 prises In That District.

The year 1905 did not do as much for Jerome as was expected, in the way of developing mining enterprises other than the United Verde though the last few weeks of the year witness ed renewed activity which it is sin cerely believed is the beginning of large khings for the present year. More has probably been achieved at the Cleopatra during the last year than on any other property and ac- eording to the Jerome News a smelt- CT will be running there before warm weather returns. That paper says:
 Last week the new smelter ordered last September in San Francisco by President c. ". Hull of the Cleopatra Copper company arrived at Jerome Junction and during the past week was transferred to the II. ". & P. rail- way, brought to Jerome and is now on the ground of the Cleopatra company, and will be put in place just as soon as the grading for the foundation. which has been going or for some time. is completed. MT. Hull informs the News that he expects to bIox in during the latter part of March and continue a steady output from that time.
 The smelter has capacity cf fifty ions. and is thoroughly modern and up-to-date plant. new in every Iart.

 Other properties on which there Is present activity and great hope for the future are the Black Hills and Pittsburg Jerome and the Hickey prop erty. The diamond drill is to be used extensively also in exploration work and it is said arrangements are made for their use on the Verde Extension, the Equator Hill, the Verde Chief and possibly two or three others. while the Harryhousen mine is already equipped with diamond drill. Con corning the United Verde the Jerome News says:
 The United Verde smelter closed down Thursday for a few days in or der to make necessary repairs and for general cleanup and tightening up of screws and nuts. after one of the most successful three months runs in the history of the plant. either under Superintendent Taylor or any of his predecessors.
 At the United Verde works a fur mace IS being put up With which IL IS proposed to smeIt the raw ores with out the use of coke. The furnace is said to be successfully handling ores similar 10 those taken from the United Verde mine in other districts The success of the furnace means that the heavy expense of roasting the Jerome ores will be saved to the producing companies.

DEATH
 OF PEARCE WOMAN
Poisoning Indicated = Cor OnGf Has Not Yet Re-
 turned Verdict

An account of a sensational death reached Bisbee yesterday from Pearce. On Tuesday of this week Mrs. Rena Mitchell died at that place and her death was so sudden, that the prevailing opinion is that the woman came to her death by poisoning.
 Mrs. Mitchell had been ill for sever al days. and was confined to her bed. On Tuesday afternoon she took dose of medicine, and within two hours was dead.
 A coroner's jury was summoned who. when they inquired into the cause of death, came to the conclusion that the woman had not died from natural causes. and the suspicion was created in their minds that the woman mad been poisoned. The company physi- elan at Pearce, Dr. Heintz, was sent for and asked to make an analysis of the stomach. which he did. but uI to yesterday had not made his report to the coroner's jury. and no verdict had yet been reached.
 After the coroner's jury had con ciuded it's hearing and the doctor had made the analysis, the body was ship ped to Hillsboro. Texas, for inter ment
 Mrs. Mitchell was sister of Mrs. John Prinderville, and her maiden name was Wilson Before her mar. riage she lived ip the Chiricahua Mountains, and herself and sister were important witnesses in the Halderr1an murder trial in this county several years ago. Wm. Mitchell. the hus. band of the deceased. has resided at Pearce several years. and is interested in some mining claims in thar vicinity.

Washington. March 50.-The course of
the president IN Diminishing the members
of the Walker canal commission was lin
quired into by Senator Morgan today.
when General George W. Davis. former
governor of the canal zone was ON the
stand. Senator Hopkins objected on the
ground that an officer of the army should
not be put in the position of criticising
his superior officers
1T would be the height of improprie-
ty," said General Davis, Ito express APP

who is my superior officer.
Senator Morgan said he would not press
the question He commended the witness
for the course he had taken, but criticised
Senator Hopkins for his efforts to prevent
inquiry into any affair which might In any
way reflect on the administration.
General Davis expressed the opinion
that the United States is expected to be
robbed I'm adjusting titles to the land in
the canal zone. and that the cost would
be many millions of dollars. The cost to
this government would be much greater
he thought. If the minority plans for the
canal were adopted.
The danger of earthquakes was ever

but he did not believe this should be con-
sidered seriously If sea-level canal with
out any great masonry structures were
built.
General Davis will resume his testimony

he said. THE suit speaks for itself
This action is for trespass on one level

ton will be taken"
When advised of the fling of the
suit last evening. David Keith. presi-

that the vein has its apex in Silver

McGregor and the King management
would get together and fix things up

nothing came of the negotiations.
The complaint filed during the aft

legged that through underground work

pany has entered the boundaries of
the Magnolia and St Louis claims and

that the objective point will b. reached
