JEROME DISTRICT
 Is ACTIVE
Several New Development En- terprises Are Now Start
 ing in That Section.
THE CLEOPATRA SHELTER
 CLEOPATRA SHELTER

Notwithstanding that most mining
 districts in the southwest have been
 very slow in recovering from the late panic, Jerome goes along increasing
 her development forces. The last
 company 10 take up this work was the JeromeVerde company. Under the superintendency of Thcmas Marmont, an experienced and successful mining operator. this company has put a
 force of men at work arranging for the starting up of the development
 plant now on the ground. and for the installation of some new and more
 powerful machinery with which they
 intend to sink to the necessary depth to expose the deeper ore bodies on this property As to the exact work they
 will do on the claims, they are not as yet ready to give cut. but they say that when they get started again it is the intention to continue until they have thoroughly explored the com panyis holdings. It is reported that some very wealthy people have be- come interested in this company. and that they now have an abundance of capital to complete all work necessary to prove the property
 At the Cleopatra, President Hull continues preparations in and around
 the smelter for it's blowing in. In the mine the work of developing ore bod ies is being continued and new drift is being run for the purpose of tapping body of ore which carries a large percentage of iron. which will be used for Aux when the smelter Is started up. The hunt for this iron may cause some delay in the starting up of the shelter but when it is encountered all will be ready for the blowing in.
 Work with the diamond drill on the Arkansas-Arizona is progressing rap idly under the direction of Mir B. J. Mccarthy and Mr. E. G. Trumbo. two experienced drill men. who were sent
 here to do the work by the Sullivan Diancnd Drill company. Of course. it will be some few dayS yet before the work will have advanced far enough to give those interested an idea of how far 1t may be possible they will have to sink before there is a chance , of striking the main ore bodies Depth however, will cut no figure with those m charge of the work. as this team | has sunk some of the deepest diamond i drill holes, ever drilled one of these ! having been sunk to a depth of 5000 ] feet in the gold fields of South Africa | Some of the finest ore ever taken , from any of the prospects in the Je- ! rome district was displayed on the streets this week. coming from the ! property of the Grand Island. Bunches !, of this rich ore are being encountered every few feet in the shaft being sunk
 on this promising prospect, which is very encouraging to those interested At the Verde Copper company property Superintendent Movies is
 is making good progress in sinking the shaft. occasionally some iron and copper sulphides are encountered which encourages the rushing of de ! ve,opment work. The Haynes shaft is new down about 620 fee; and drift | ing to where sulphides were struck ] with the diamond drill will soon be
 commenced. This work will be scan
 ned with great interest by the resi- dents of the district. :,

TUCSON, May 20.-WiIliam Kemp fer years connected with the Calumet Arizona in this territory as min :ag expert, returned to Tucson from the Patagonia district, about 70 miles southeast of Tucson.
 Without any intent to exaggei1 ate" said Mir. Kemp. T believe the Patagonia mining district will event. ually be proven to be one of the rich est mineralized belts within the boun. dary of Arizona The companies at present operating are daily showing good results in their development work The next five years, fin by opinion. will see the Patagonia dis trict second to none in the territory Mir kempt himself is at present operating the August group of mines eleven miles distant from Patagonia Thirty men are employed at the mine and improving the wagon road to the station. The shaft is down 250 feet and $50 tons of ore already on the dump for shipment. The ore averages ' per cent in copper and OF in sii- yer, running high in sulphur and iron Mir Kempt has recently closed cor. tract with the Old Dominion Copper company with 1000 tons of ore from the August group per month. The sulphur and iron in this ore will pay the freight from Patagonia to Globe and the Old Dominion snelts the ore free of charge in return for re ceiving this class of ore. which is much desired. Consequently MT Kempt receives the returns in copper and silver free of charge. the only ex' rense is transporting the ore from the dump to Patagonia

 Toledo, O.. capital started this en' terprise about five years ago, getting 2o-year government concession, ten mining claims, building a smelter and laying out two square miles for townsite named Toledo in the old mining district of Ures, Sonora. The shelter was completed three years ago, but Yaqui Indian raids in this country, together with experiencing some difficulty in working out metal lurgical problems, 1t is understood have interrupted and hampered oper ations.
 MT. Klauser states that this com pany owns the only custom smeltei

 northeast up the Yaqui river, and is
 now completing the railroad line in
 to Toledo.
 The Sonora company is preparina I to resume operations as soon as |
 can get it's coke over the railroad ana

OBITUARY.
MRS. MAGGIE E. BALDWIN

On March 10, 1909, the death an.
gel visited the home Of Mr.. Elan
Ham aud claimed for his victim his
dear mother, Mrs Mag (Ham) Bald
win. She was very old lady; sixty
five years old. She joined the Baptist
Church in 1900 and has lived true
Christian every since. She has been
afflicted long time, but wasn't SO
bad off until few weeks before her
death. But as she saw the weight OF
sixty five years, she was not dreading
to hear Him say, "Oh thirsty hun
CRY soul come unto Me and | will
give you rest. " She said on her dy-
ing bed that she was prepared to go
and wanted her children to meet her
in Heaven.
She was the mother of nine children
seven of them survive her. One had
gone on to await the Resurrection.
She was laid to rest IN Washington
Cemetery; the funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Alex Breland. We
all know its hard to give up our dear
mother, but God knoweth best. God
giveth and God taketh away. May
the Lord bless and comfort her dear
children in their sorrow and trouble,
and help them live as a light set up
on a hill that can't be hid, and when
they come to press a dying pillow,
they will be prepared to meet their
dear mother in that yonder's world,
where partings are no more. Of we
that's left behind none knows which
one will be next. Life is short and
death is sure to come. ct us all live
lives of preparation to meet death at
any time for we kno~ not the hour.

And hear my mother read,
But now she has left US here below,
To greet US when we come.

proved to be serious occurrence
happened about 4:30 O'Clock on
Saturday Mch. 18th, 1909. A dis
astrous cyclone came through the
Fork of Rivers vicinity, advancing
with great rapidity from the w est
and covering an area of about a
Quarter of a mile in width. | have
not yet learned where it originated.
nor where it came to an end. In
formation was received today that
several calves were were lifted out
of Finley McLeod's lot and carried
some distance unhurt, and that Mr..
Joe COwart' S kitchen was taken up
and set about q Quarter of mile
to the eastward. After crossing
Leaf River followed a due easterly
direction striking the newly erected
School Building at New Prospect
and threw it off it's blocks and dong
it much damage. From thense it
it continued its devastating course
tearing down the forest, and strik-
ihg into Mr.. A. S: Miller's Farm de-
molishing his fences and tearing
away one half of his barn, carrying
it for some distance into his field. No
lives, we are glad to say, were lost,
as yet heard oil. Mr.. Joe Miller, who
has been out in Texas and adjoining
