 ASSURED
CFrem satupda1-s pany3


 yesterday, of Hon. R. A. Craig, the citizen member of the Board of Control of Arizona, all apprehension or any doubt over the building of the Pioneer Home in this city, was dissipated.
 MT. Craig is in the city for the specific purpose of eIpediting this movement, and stated yesterday that immediately upon his return to the capital the first step will be taken to award the bids on the competitive plans called for.
 He will endorse the original site. In a few days the good news may be expected from his official headquar- ters that the project will be under headway. MT. Craig stated yester- day that a local architect will get the plans, and he singled out Archi- teets Elliott and Brennan, both of Prescott.
 During the brief visit of this of fcial he was taken to the Murphy ad- dition by Major Doran, and was pleased with the site and the beau tiful range it afforded in picturesque surroundings, owing to it's elevated position. With such an earnest and energetic official behind the project, the beginning of the work will take place soon and the place thrown open to the deserving pioneer who is en- titled to all that it implies.
 T. I. 4. T. + + + I. I. T. T. T. T. suspended, owing to embarrassing financial conditions, but these, for tunately, have not seriously interfered with the plan outlined and supported by MT. Fisher and the many in this city and elsewhere who were eonver- sant with the possibilities of the en- terprise. A few months ago it was evil dent that mineralogieal conditions were indicative of the successful out come of the development, and from the renewed interest felt in the en- terprise, backed by ample finances, the success of the enterprise is all the more significant of the merit of the enterprise from beginning to end.
 The United Verde Extension peo- pie own five claims. The Little Daisy, through which this gigantic discovery was made, was originally located by MT. Fished. It was on this ground where the first pick was struck into the earth, and as a matter of justice to the man, Mir. Fisher must be given the credit for the strike, being aided in his plan of opening up the prop erty by the advice of Major Pickerell and John S. Reilly.
 Properties Adjoin United Verde.
 The company's properties are To- cated on the east side lines of the United Verde, and from the main shaft of the latter to the main shaft on the Little Daisy, through which the strike was made, the distance is about 1,6O0 feet. The United Verde is situated at a higher elevation, ow- ing to the contour of the country, while the Little Daisy shaft is in a deep gulch below, that passes through the city of Jerome. The company owns a group of five mines, all under United States patent.
 MT. Fisher returned a few weeks interest to his company, and during his visit successfully arranged for the financing of the enterprise. The strike taking place so soon after the term nation of that trip, only the more exclusively proves the deep interest that has attended further development and substantiates the wisdom of the investment.
 A few days ago, or practically at the time the strike was known, a block of this stock was acquired by telegraph from a resident of the city, at a price below par value, the pur- chaser residing in an eastern city. The Prescott seller was advised to hold his interest, from Jerome, and was about to cancel the contract, when the banking house paying the money, concluded the transaction for its client, and refused a few minutes thereafter to return the stock, all though the one disposing of it earn estly asked for its return for the price he received.
 Hundreds of Telegrams
 Inquiries are coming to this city | and other places for sellers, but in this the market is closed, and none are willing to let go, even at an ad- vance of double the price over the par value of their interests.
 Hundreds of telegrams are coming into the city and as many are going out, the news of the strike reaching all mining financial centers of the country
