(from Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Daily)
 Good reports continue ,o come from the properties of the Hull Copper com pany at Jerome, where the Dillon t,in, mel is being pushed into the mountain the entire face of which is in oxidized ore, carrying good values in gold Air compressors and hoists purchased by the company are expected to arrive soon, and when the compressor is in. stalled at the mouth of the tunnel, the force of men employed will be in. creased, and the work pushed along with three eight hour shifts
 Tho hoist will be installed at the shaft on the 1888 claim, which is now 300 feet in depth. This will be sunk an additional 60 feet, when n station will he cut and n drift started in the direction of the tunnel, which is be. ing rnn toward the shaft.
 The properties owned by this com. pany lie immediately south and west of and adjoining the great United Verde mines, and it is the general opinion that the great deposits of the latter con. tinue under the locations of the Hull Copper company.
 When connection is made with the tunnel and shaft the tunnel will be upshed along through the company's grounds in northerly direction, a short distance outside of the westerly line Of the United Verde holdings.
 G. w. Hull, president and general manager of the concern, as we'll as it's heaviest stockholdcr, is in Phoenix, at present, attending the sessions of the Legislature, as n member of tho House of Representatives from this county.

LOWER LYNX CREEK DISTRICT
 IS LIVELY.
(from Thursdays Daily.)


 w. A. Long, ex.printcr and news paper man, now engaged in developing n promising mining property on the Lower Lynx Creek section, in which he is associated with A. c. Gilmore of this city, spent yesterday here. In convcr. sation with n JournalMincr man, Mir. Long said:
 'Lowcr Lynx Creek is livclicr at present than for a number of years. Tho number of miners and prospeetors digging there is constantly increasing and some promising claims are being opened.
 "Thc Lynx Creek Gold company has all the machinery of its new plant in place and three shifts arc now en. gagged in sinking n shaft in the bed of the creek 10 bedrock, where very rich pay dirt is known to exist. When bed. rock is reached drifts will be run, and the new plant will be started on the gravel taken out.
 F.. C. Braun is installing an air com. pressor at the month of his cross cut tunnel on the old Baltic mine. This tunnel will tap the vein at depth of 435 feet, underneath a very promising shoot of ore, from which some very high grade gold ore was taken near tho surface, many years ago, after its discovery by Fred Norton. The rock in the face of the tunnel is very hard but Mir. Braun expects to strike some very rich ore when the vein is rcached.'
 MT. Long also stated that he had n very good showing in the shaft being sunk ny him on the Long & Gilmore mine. The shaft is now down 90 feet, where the paystrcak shows width of eighteen inches of ore, that samples $65 to the ton in gold and silver.

NO SOLDERING FOR YAvAp
 MEN.
(F'rom Thursdays plily.)

That the able bodied residents Prescott and Yavapni couu'y, bctwcc the ages of 2l and 3j years. are well satisfied with conditions here, ar | the opportunities presented for makit money. that the United states army with it's remuneration of S13.00 ! month. holds no attraction for then whatever. is made apparent by the fa- that while a recruiting station has boe, established here for over two montlJ only two recruits have been secure and they were not bona-Gdc rcsiden,I of this county, but had come here ftou other places.
 Scrgcan, Mark Baldwin, rccruitrJ officer. when seen at his hcadquarier| in the Wilson building, last evening. lr| q Journal. Miner representative. speakI ing of cnlistmcn's. said:
 "I have been approached by onl, twelve men in the past two month, and only two of these applicants wer. accepted, the others being rejected o,| account of physical disabilities. Tt. largest number of recruits are found Il the large cities
 "lt appears to mc that the hig, wages and good opportunities here fo.| the class of young men desired by ,h. army is a great induccmcnt to ke,, them from entering the service. A re cent order received from the War De partmcnt authorities authorizes the er li4tmcnt of colorcd, as well as whit, men. to 6ll the regiments ordered i. the Philippines for service, but no ar plications from colorcd men have bee, received.
 "A number of men who are phys, ally unfit for hard labor apply for ad mission into the army. in the hope thai they will pass the examination and le allowed to enlist, thus relieving then of the necessity of seeking employment. However none of this class can pa~ fine physical examination to which all applicants are subjected hy the army surgeons
 The rate of pay as fixed by law fof private in the infantry. cavalry or ar. tillcry arms of the service is sl3 4 month. to which is added ra,ions. cloth ing, bedding, medicines and medical a,. tendance. For continuous service there is added sl a month for the third year. S2 n month for the fourth year, S3 fof the fifth year, and thereafter S5 i, allowed for the sixth to the tenth year Qualified gunncrs, marksmcn. sharp shooters and riflcmcn are also allowed additional pay of from Si to S2 pei month. The term of enlistment is three years. and soldiers arc allowed 20 pef cent increase in monthly pay whie serving beyond the limits of the state. comprising the Union and Territorie. of the United States contiguous there to, excepting Porto Rico and Hawaii.
 These inducements. however. afe seemingly altogether too little for th. prosperous young Yavapai man.

SLUMP IN SHEEP WILL NOT LAST.
(Frem Wednesdays Dmly)

(fr1m Wednesdays Dnly.)
 The 'heagr Drovcrs' Journal dis. cn,s,ng thc situation ,u the sheep and lnuh market. has 'hr following osti- mate Of tbr utuatiou which win hc of interest 'o growers:
 Trade in sheep rI wh. especially ihc former. !. ln n'h,r depressed con dition at th. tim. There !. not such nrmncs. of uIcr'.nr to thr market as one year ago. Prevailing prices for sheep arp g.urul'y 5o cents bower than ouc t,ar ago todoy aul lambs show 20 Dor u.ut lo.~ from that lime.
 That t1I. state of tmlr will con. tinuc l,r no, l,nsth of tlnc is di rertly against thr view. ut traders on this market who have made this bu,i. ness a lifelong our.
 The slump l. only temporary. Thou~uu,~ of .h"cp and lambs which otherwise would have been held back for better finish arc being forced to market owing to muddy feed lots and To ,hc unusually high prices for screen. ings corn and hay n force ut tltc bug feed lots aiiacont to Chicago. These are thr two depressing factors with which inc feeders have to contend. Nt The same time the weather has been unscnsonahlv warm which is strong bar against broad outlet for sheep and lamb meats during this period of the year.
 Fortunately thc parties feeding sheep tnd lambs dependent upon the combine m control of the feed at inc big sta. tions are in the minority Those who wisely contracted their feed carly in the season have confidence in the later market and are sending to the shamblcs only the hnishcd stock. Colorado feed. CTS have plenty of feed and the weather is unusually Favorable, so that there is no fear of an undue rush of stock from that quarter After the parties who unwisclv failed to provide shelter for stock and they who got into inc grasp of the feed combine. have marketed the bulk of their holdings. there should appear on the dark and now thrcatcu- ing horizon of the trade more hope. ful light,
 And there is much in the situation to  warrant this belief Private figures from Colorado. printed m tho Drovcrs' Journal Annual of 1906. showed a short age of nearly j0O.OOO head in the feed lots there from 1905. and careful csti. mates of tho feeding operations in most of the Middle West md Eastern states displayed shriukage of from 2j to 30 per cent from tho previous year. Even this early in the season it is apparent that the Eastern states have marketed such big percentage of their hold. ings that the Eastern markets will have io depend greatly upon the West for their supplies, inc balance of this sen. son.
 Careful distribution of the supplies m the hands of the feeders now and inc holding back of unfinished stock until such are in good marketable con. dition should enable inc feeders to realize remunerativc prices for their sheep and lambs.

How to Dodge Publicity

Five great railroads have beer in deep tribulaticn. They own a terminal station in Chicago and propose to rebuild it. Lawyers discovered in the title little flaw, purely technical. To cure the little flaw, little bill was intro duced into the legislature. The bill seems to have been an entirely worthy one. But the great railroads wished to keep their predicament secret. They put gum shoes on the bill, laid their fingers on their lips and held their breath. Of course, the news papers presently discovered the mysterious, shrinking little stran- ger, and bounced upon it with a yell that echoed far up the shores of Lake Michigan and way down in Mississippi. Then the railroads spent a busy week eagerly and copiously explaining all about the little bill in columns of type.
 If, before introducing the bill, the railroads had sent to the news papers neatly typewriter state ment of its purpose, about hun dred words long, probably most of the papers would have thrown the statement into the waste-bas- ket and the bill have gone through with a couple of lines of perfume tory notice.
 Occasionally some misguided citizen takes great pains to keep his marriage or divorce out of print, and usually has the felicity to see himself exploited on the front page little later as the chief sensation of the day.
 If you wish to escape publicity, don't try to dodge the editor. Write him a letter telling him all about t, and he will ignore you.- Saturday Post.
