The town of Jerome is excited over the discovery, and the stock of the company is anxiously souht for, with no sellers. On the contrary, the par value has suddenly reached double in value, and telegrams are pouring in from the Chamber of Commerce aI Bisbee, the east and other points, asking for stock. This lively desire to get these interests is one of the noteworthy evidences of the bona fide rating of the property and corrob- orates the big strike that has been given publicity.
 After the news reached Jerome, MT. Fisher was congratulated by all of the business men, while the miners by the score came forward to extend their good wishes.
 MT. Fisher arrived last night from his camp, bringing several pounds of the red oxide and copper glance ores. He will remain in the city for few days, to transact urgent business. . He not only confirms the report of the vast extent of the ore body cut into, but gives the additional infor- nation that the richness of the ore, together with it's distinctive mineral ogical character, is unlike that of its neighbor, the United Verde, and so far as demonstrated in development, through the copper glance character in evidence, is probably in a class by itself. This feature of the yield is something of a revelation to the mining people of that section, which serves to enhance the deep interest taken in the strike.
 At this particular time a brief re- view of the development that has terminated so successfully on this now valuable, property, is given, and will prove interesting to the mining peo- pie of this county and territory.
 After practically three years of dil- igent and earnest work, the main shaft reached a depth of 800 feet on the Little Daisy ground. From that point further exploitation was directed through a drift running to- ward the city of Jerome in an east erly direction, and a point about $50 feet was reached, when further pro- gress was stopped on that level.
 Branching off with a crosscut at that station a northeasterly course was taken for a distance of 220 feet, where the big ore body was cut. Pre-. eeding this big discovery, at a point

DEATH CALLS
 PROMINENT RESIDENT
(From Fridays Daily.)

I
 William Gammill, one of the best known residents of this city, passed away yesterday morning from the effects of a hemorrhage of the brain He was seized with this afflietion last Friday morning, while going to his place of business, and short time thereafter lapsed into a state of un- consciousness, from which he never rallied It will be remembered that MT. Gammil was the victim of an auto collision with the buggy he was driving, last June, sustaining at that time serious injuries to his body and head, and it is believed that through this accident death is due He has complained ever since the accident of intense pains, and has constantly been under the care of physician.
 Mir Gammill was a popular man with a large number of people in the city. His generosity was shown in a material manner with many, and his loss will be generally regretted by scores of aequaintanees. He ar rived in this city with his wife and daughter in 1899, coming from Ne braska, where he followed farming as a vocation. After reaching this city he engaged in business, and up to the time of his death followed his line of pursuit.
 Besides his wife and daughter, who were with him to the end, he leaves a mother, residing in Oklahoma, two brothers and two sisters in Oklahoma, and other relatives His brother, An drew, is expected to arrive today, and pending the wish of relatives as to the disposition of his remains, the date of the burial will be announced later. It is probable that the body will be taken to Nebraska for inter ment. The deceased was born in Sul livan, H., fifty years ago.

 PAY DAY

The troops at Whipple will be paid this afternoon at o'clock, in the following order;
 Non-commissioned staff, detachment hospital corps, Company c, 18th In fantry; Company D, 18th Infantry; Company B, 18th Infantry; Company A, 18th Infantry. First Lieutenant Walter E. Gunster, 18th Infantry, ad- jutant, has been designated to make the payment.
 The order issued recently to have parade and review Saturday in honor of the delegation of business men from Los Angeles, has been revoked. All officers of the garrison have been formally invited to attend a reeep- tion to be given at the Yavapai Club, this evening, at o'clock, in honor of the delegation of business men from Los Angeles.
 First Sergeant Walter F. Rhinow, Company c, 18th Infantry, stationed at Whipple Barracks, was ordered to proceed on the 18th inst, or as soon thereafter as practicable, to the Re cruit Depot, Fort Logan, Colo, and report to the commanding officer thereof.
 Sergeant Rhinow has been a con- sumptive for over a year. While in the Philippine Islands, he developed the disease to such an extent that he was ordered to return to the United States, and was sent to Fort Bayard, N. M, for treatment. Soon after the return of the regiment from foreign service, Sergeant Rhinow was ordered to rejoin his company, hay ing apparently recovered from the disease. After being here about a month symptoms developed again, re- sulting in sending him to the Post hospital for observation and treat ment, and this later order requiring him to appear before a Medical ex- amining board to be examined for dis charge for disability. Sergeant Rhi- now left on the 2:50 train yesterday afternoon.
 Two strong agggregations of ball players from Whipple are to cross bats at the Prescott baseball park, next Sunday afternoon, at 2:3O.
 The teams are picked from the best of the ball players, those Companies A and c being matched against B and A.
 Every afternoon for the last week these men have been going through strenuous practice, with the result that the two teams will be able to put up a rather stiff game.
 The admission will be as usual, 50 cents. The entire proceeds of the game are for the benefit of the Pres cott Baseball association, a suitable prize to be given the winning team. Jesse Wilson will be the official um- pire, so be on time when he yells "Play ball."

SHEEP SITUATION FAIR.

Hugh Campbell, the big sheep grow CT, passed through the city yesterday afternoon from the range in the south ern part of the county, where his floeks are wintering. He says the drive will be started north in a short time. While the condition of the animals is not as bad as was be- heved would prevail earlier in the year, the various bands have fared moderately well, and taking every thing into consideration, the many owners feel elated that the losses have not been greater than was ex- perieneed earlier in the season.

 Various Formations.
 In the progress of development, var. ious formations were cut into, carry ing lime, spar, sehist and black slate with occasionally some sulphides ap bearing. Immediately preceding the coming in of the big ore body twenty feet of blue tale gouge appeared, and was passed through. At this point the first practical determination was accomplished of what has stirred the mining community of this county to a high state of intense interest. The miners, in drilling into the face of the ore readily noticed the change coming in, and taking the pulverized soil began banning it.
 The results were astounding, and the bottom of the pan was shown tC carry native copper in such quantities as to cause excitement among those who were cOnversant with big values The pannings also showed what at first was pronounced by all as an iron metal through it's resemblance to that family of mineral. But later this was proven to be nothing more nor less than copper glance. This dem onstration of that mineral being pres. ent, intensified the situation all the more, and keen interest was shown from that time on, when a round of shots exposed a body of four feet of a red oxide of copper, scanned with native copper and copper glance pro- duct. Not an ounce of waste was shown from these shots. Further drill ing was carried on and one more round of shots has been fired, show ing nine feet of ore of the same character, no sign of getting through it. One more round of shots was to have been fired last night, and the purpose is to continue exploitation until the extent of the deposit has been determined.

He pleaded earnestly for the authority,

CORNER ON DIRT
Decatur County Farmer Sells 600
Pounds to Indiana Man.

Jennings, Feb. 22.-Decatur county
Is doing some things different than
are some of the neighboring counties.
For instance, some of her alfalfa seed
has been shipped as far east as Indi-
ana. Nor is this all, the Indiana far
mer is going to try raising alfalfa on
his land. John Tacha, one of the best
farmers in Decatur county, whose
farm is not far from Jennings. sold
two bushels of his seed to the Indiana
man for $500 a bushel. Accompany
ing this seed he also shipped 900
pounds of dirt, worth $1.0O per 100
pounds. The Indiana man wanted the
dirt taken off the alfalfa ground of
Mr.. Tacha for use to fertilize the
ground where he was going to SOW
his seed. This is perhaps the first in
stance on record where Kansas dirt
has been shipped to other states for
a similar purpose or any other. Mr..
Tacha is now claiming that he has a
corner" on Decatur county dirt.
Mr.. Tacha has lived in Decatur
county since 1873. He has Is acres
in alfalfa and last year threshed 100
bushels of seed which he sold for
$3.50 and $500 a bushel, besides he
sold close to so tons of hay at about
$1,000 a ton.
