MUCH PROSPECTING IN
 THE VERDE DISTRICT
From eunAay's Daily)


 Companies prospecting along the Jer. ome copper belt are keeping busy sink. ing shafts and driving tunnels, drifts and crosseuts, says the Jerome News When the Black Hills and Pittsburg Jerome companies start up again which, as announced in last week 6 News, will be within the next few weeks, there will be eleven power plants at work prospecting in the Jer. ome' Verde district, as follows: The Black Hills, Pittsburg. Jerome, Boston Jerome, Verde Grande, Haynes Copper Company, Arkansas & Arizona, United Verde Extension known locally as the Little Daisy, the Jerome Verde Copper Company, Cleopatra, Hull Copper Com. pany, Mescal, and to the above very likely will be added the Sycamore, now prospecting with s diamond drill, and the North Verde, both companies hay. ing powerful machinery on the grounds. All of these companies are located in the immediate vicinity of the City of Jerome.
 Phil Pechrick and Guy Bailey, stock. holders in the Mazatzal Copper Comps. ny, returned Wednesday from q visit to that mine, very enthusiastic over the splendid showing of ore being made in its workings. They brought some samples from the bottom of the winze started in the Bullfrog tunnel which was down only l6 feet, work on it having been delayed on account of a fire which destroyed the power house and injured some parts of the mschin. cry. The winze is in ore. MT. Peeh- rick, who for years worked under. ground as a practical miner, said to a News man that this, his second visit to the Mazatzal, gave him greater con. fidence in the future of the property; !; that it was now beyond the prospect point, and that development would place it in line with the great mineral producers, and assure a railroad into the rich mineral zone in the Tonto country.
 Among the many promising claims in the Jerome. Verde district, fs a group of g full claims owned by Messrs. Scott < Williams, City Marshal Fred Hawkins and ]. ]. Shaw. These claims adioin the Copper Chief on the southwest. In all of the claims there is ore exposed, every sample taken from which have given assay returns in gold, silver and copper. The owners will incorporate this year. At Cleopatra they continue to take out ore, with another body coming in about 100 feet from where the first body was exposed.

AQUA FRIA LIKELY TO
 BE BRIDGED AT HUMBOLDT
(From Sundays Daily)

Chairman Smith of the board of su' pervisors, and A. A. Grant, the con tractor who accompanied him, returned last night from an inspection of the Agua Fria section, the trip being made to approximate the cost of rebuilding the bridge across the Agua Fria at Dewey. which was washed away last summer. Both state that the entire country traversed by them in tbeir work of inspecting the stream showed unmistakable evidences of having on Friday night received the most terrific drenching in it's history. A sheet of water practically covered the entire surface of the valley. No damage Of any note resulted from the storm, and until climatic conditions settle down to permit of the rebuilding of stable structure at point to be later selert ed, nothing will be done by the county to give the traveller n highway across this valley. Humboldt seems to meet with preference as a point to build the new bridge and it is the belief that when one is built at this point it will he permanent and will not be subject to flood waters as at other points high CT up in the valley.

FRANK SHERLOCK RUN DOWN BY
 RANGER
Caught Unawares Cries "GueSs You Got Me.
 Nd"- "---Surrenders
BY P. J. FARLEY.

With a pistol pressed to his abdo- men by Lieutenant Olds. Frank Sherlock, alias Charles By, re- cognized as a convict who rode away from the New Mexico peni- tentiary on the warden's horse exactly eleven years ago, ex- claimed; Guess you got me, kid,' and quietly surrendered.
 He was delivered into the cus- tody of Captain Christman of the New Mexico penitentiary at 7 o'clock tonight and immediately started on the overland train for Santa Fe, where he has two years ye, to serve on a four years sem tence for horse stealing.
 Sherlock was betrayed by a fellow convict whom he discharg- ed from a position with the Grand Canyon Lime and Cement Company at Nelson, Arizona, where Sherlock had taken a con- tract. Sherlock, since his escape, has lived an exemplary life. For eight years he has served as a deputy sheriff of Mojave county and in that time has run down many desperate criminals. He is a dead shot with pistol and led a posse which followed murderer Jom Kenney through Death Val ley seven years ago. Kinney had murdered another deputy sheriff of Mojave county. The posse reached Bakersfield two days af- ter Kinney had there killed two officers had had been killed him self in a desperate fight. Sher- lock also served four years as live stock inspector of Mojave county.
 Aware that Sherlock was a dead shot, Lieutenant Olds, ac- companied by Ranger H. F.. Woods, met him casually at the Grand Canyon Cement Compa- ny's camp. Olds introduced Woods and while the two men were shaking hands, Olds stuck his pistol against Sherlock's stomach and cried
 Hands up! ] have a warrant for you!G
 Sherlock calmly replied as his hands went up: Guess you got me, kid"
 Woods disarmed Sherlock of a huge pistol and extra clip car tridges, while Olds covered him with a cooked gun. Sherlock had been living with a Mrs. Pal mer, and at his request he was taken to the womans home, Sherlock seemed very much ai- Tected.
 Guess I've got to leave you, little woman,' he said; these fel- lows have got me"
 If you are coward enough to et them take you. gon on"
 For the first time Sherlock weakened badly and wept bitter V as the officers took him away. He admitted he was the man wanted and said he had quit business long ago, and wanted no more of it. He re- luested the rangers to speak al good word for him. is possible, when they reached the New Mex can officials.
 When greeted by a Journal Miner man at Williams and ask d if he was a deputy sheriff oi Mohave county, Sherlock an- ,wered;
 "I used to be but l am some hing else now
 Then you are the man they want in New Mexico"
 q resemble him some but won't admit it just now"
 It was then he asked Lieuten-

c. & N. w. MAKES LOW RATE.
Twenty five Cent Fare to Be Minimum
for Fair.

Des Moines, Aug. 8.-The CONNER
cial club received notice yesterday
from the passenger department OF the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad that
that road would put in force during
the state fair minimum round trip
charge of 25 cents, thus breaking away
from the other roads which had agreed
at the hearing before the Western
Passenger association some days ago
to make a round trip rate of liz cents
per mile and establishing a minimum
charge of rs cents.
This will mean that all territory out
side of the city at a distance of eight
miles or more will be served by the re-
duced rate, whereas the Is cent mimi
mum would only give the reduced rates
to points at distance of twenty-five
miles or more from Des .Moines. This
win add an area Of over 5000 square
miles of the most thickly populated
portion of the state which will receive
the reduced rate. Just why the North
western has taken this action indie
pendently is not known. but 1t is con-
sidered certain by the Commercial club
that the other roads will follow suit
and likewise reduce their minimum
charge to the lower figure at once.

WILL TEST NEW IOWA LAW.
stratford Physician to Sue Hamilton
County For ContasIion Fees.

Special to Times-kepublican.
Webster City, Aug. S-The Hamil-
ton county board Of supervisors have
been served with notice by DIR. M. A.
Beach, of Stratford, that he will bring
suit against them at the October term
Of court, claiming $165 for services
rendered in contagion disease cases.
The board allowed him $50 for these
services, and he refused it. The case
lis small one, but will be test of
the new Iowa law passed last winter.
and which the county, district and
state physicians associations hold
makes every county in Iowa liable for
physicians fees in every case of con-
tagion they attend. They hold that
this liability holds regardless of
whether the patient is willing or able
to pay the bill, in other words that
persons afflicted, with contagious d.
seases cannot pay their doctors bills
even if they want to, but that the
county is absolutely required by law
to meet these bills.
The county will fight Beach's bill
on several grounds. Included in it is
a charge for disinfecting a school
house, which the county contends
should have been paid by the school
district Also the doctor charged S.
for every visit made and it is claimed
that all patients visited were within
the corporate limits of Stratford. The
county will contend that this is too
much. Also it will be held by the
county that the law contemplates
that the county shall be liable only in
cases where patients become county
charges. The outcome of the case will
be watched with much interest in
every county in the state. 1t will
probably go to the supreme court
