 By the filing yesterday in the Re eorder's office of the renewal of ar ticles of incorporation of the Hum. boldt and Verde Valley Railway com pany, interest is revived in the pro- posed railroad, the corporate exist. ence of which is extended for fifty years, and the capitalization ad. vaneed from $l 100000 to s ,6ee, 900.
 Prescott Is designated as the prin- eipal place of conducting the busi- ness, and the total length of the proposed road is eighty-five miles in Yavapai and Coeonino counties.
 Some few weeks ago amendment articles were filed for record and CO., incident with that publicity was given to the plans of this corpora tion, an authoritative source stating that the road was to be constructed and trains would be running into Camp Verde inside of two years.
 Among the ineOrporators of the company specified in the renewal document are James H. Purdy, A. J. Doran, D. E. Parks. I. Francis Purdy, James T. l.. Harris and James A.. Pride.

Discoveries of Last Few Months In Little Daisy. Have Stimulated
 Activity in Verde District

ments h the large commercial ore
 bodies. have been described in detail in these columns. The winze is bot
 toned 300. feet below the 800 foot level, or HOO feet below surface, and drifting is going forward there with the expectation that copper ore found by drifting and erosseutting at the 500 foot level will soon be en- eountered at this depth.
 The ore which has been opened at the HOO foot level previous to the last work has been a gold and silver bearing quartz similar to the forma- ton found on the 500 foot level just before entering copper ore, and assay ing S2 to $6 per ton. A telegram received at the home office in New York Wednesday, states that the first sulphide has just put in its ap- pearanee in this development from the bottom of the winze and therefore it is anticipated that shortly the copper ore body will be entered. Wednes- days adviees also state that the erosseut in the west working has en- tered into "a new sulphide ore body for a distance of six feet that looks very good.
 The pump has arrived for the 500 foot level. .1ts capacity is 72,OOO gallons per day and the present vol ume that 1t. will have to handle is 3O,OOO gallons. Work has been hind cred lately by this inflow of water, but the pump will relieve conditions.
 In February, 1910, Dr. Frederick Farnsworth of New York, resigned from the presidency, and was succeed ed later by L. E. Whieher. Harold Pierce of Philadelphia was elected vice president, and Charles E. Ball treasurer. The other directors are William W. Cohen, Warren \. Akers. J. Fisher and Henry Sachs. J. J. Fisher, formerly Deputy United States mining surveyor, of Jerome, is gen eral manager; and c. c. Burger of New York is consulting engineer. The property was formerly known as the Little Daisy. It adjoins the United Verde and contains 75 acres.
 Last April the Consolidated Ari- zona Smelling company, through its consulting engineer, Martin J. Hell lers opened negotiations with the United Verde Extension for ore to be shipped 10 the Humboldt smelter, but the management has deemed it wiser to withhold shipments until a more thorough development of the property Is secured.

The snreties are sprominent business men.
 The reason for this unusual re- quirement by the A0tG management is that half dozen telephone oper- ators have married within as many months, the last two being Miss Flor enee Joyce, who recently married a rancher, and Miss OIize Bourne, who has gone to Roeklana, Mich, to join her intended husband
 ''I am not engaged te marry any one. nor do l expect to enter into an engagement during the coming six months," said Miss Pe<Ains, a comedy brunette, ''and for that req son my bondsmen have nothing to fear. Of course, I have received proposal or two, but l am not ready to settle down for life.
 ''The making of a bond is mat ter of business with the management of the hotel,'' the operator eontin- ued. "There is more or less trouble every time new operator is broken in, the rule being tiat as soon as a girl becomes efficient she deserts the switchboard to join heart and hand with some mere man.

 The favorable developments that have come with such rapid succession recently at United Verde Extension al Jerome, Ariz., really began almost a year ago, although for the first few months the improvement was slow compared to the frequent discoveries of new ore bodies that have been made of late. The reason for this was partly because of the inadequate power equipment in service then which has now been replaced with much heavier machinery driven by electricity. In September, 1909, the deepest workings in United Verde Extension were at the S00-foot level and drilling was all done by hand, but an exposure of ore at that time induced the management to begin sinking a winze and plan for power drilling.
 Both in the drift and in the winze high-grade sulphide ore carrying cop per, gold, and silver, with some lead began to show consistently and the management determined upon finane- ing methods that would carry out a thorough campaign of development.
 At that time the capitalization was 100000 shares and a meeting of the stockholders in November, 1909, au- 'horized it's increase to 100000 shares. Allotments of this have been sold at varying prices from $1 per share up- ward, the most recent being an allot- ment of 10000 shares which was un- derwritten at $2.5O per share and of fered to shareholders pro rata at $3.
 This last allotment will bring the outstanding stock up to 360,0O0 shares leaving 10000 shares in the treasury, while the $6O,O0O secured from its sale will bring the cash balance in the treasury up to more than s100,- GOO at the present time. :.#
 The eIeetrr. compressor, hoist and pumps went into service shortly be- fore the end of the year 1909 and by January l, 1910, the winze was down 250 feet with a station and crosscut at the 12O-foot level. At 260 another station was cut in the winze and a crosscut driven through 130 feet of oxidized and leaehed material which gave promise that large body of sulphide ore was not far away. At this time number of stringers of five per cent copper sulphide ore were also cut in the drift at the sO0- foot level which it was believed would lead into large ore bodies.
 Work has been carried forward with persisteney throughout the present year and the more recent develop

Jury Reports After Less Than Two Hours Of
 Deliberation
JealousyPr PromptedCrime That Brings Him To
 The GalloWS
From Sundays Daily)

eiano Chaeon near Congress Junction,
 last August, will pay the penalty of
 his crime on the gallows, was the
 verdict of jury that heard the evi-
 denee, yesterday afternoon. The men who held the fate of the accused in their hands deliberated less than two
 hours after the trial, which occupied nearly two days. The doomed man faced the ordeal eoolly ana fearlessly, and from the time of hearing the verdict until his cell was reached, never uttered a word or showed any emotion. Sentence will be pronounced Wednesday by Judge Doe.
 Last night the death watch was placed over him by Under Sheriff Raible, and will be continued until he is taken to the penitentiary for execution. It is said that his at- torneys will appeal the case to the Supreme Court, which will delay the carrying out of the death penalty.
 The crime for which Perez was found guilty dates back to August l4th, last. At that time he was liv- ing with a Mexican woman in Con gress, and the appearance of Cha con on the scene, in an alleged ef fort to win the affections of the senorita, was resented by Perez. Jealousy entered into the relations of the two men, and the day previous to the murder, the two men became involved in a personal encounter. Chaeon then returned to the railroad grading camp at Congress Junction, where he was employed. The next day he came back to Congress and renewed his attentions to the woman. which again met with a rebuke from Perez. At 4:30 o'clock, Cnaeon re- turned to the grading camp and was immediately followed by Perez. Both met at Congress Junction, and after taking several drinks, appeared 10 be on the most friendly terms. They were seen to leave the camp, arm in arm, and were quite jovial and .eOmpanionable. They passed up the railroad grade and were soon out of sight. At a point about 600 feet away, the report of gun was heard, and a few minutes afterwaard an In dian came running into the grading camp with the information that a man had been shot and killed. Sev- eral went to the place and the dead body of Cnaeon was found as re ported. The Indian, on the witness stand, stated that he saw Perez fire a second shot at Chacon as he was lying on the ground, but was not a | witness to the first shot. He was several feet away and his attention | 10 the men by hearing the report of l the first shot. An examination of ! the body of Chaeon showed that he had been shot in the back of the | head, the bullet not finding an exit.
 Perez, after killing Chaeon, ran to Congress Junction and secreted him self in a cellar He made known his crime to an uncle and by the latter was later turned over to the officers. On the road he met a vendor in wagon and told the latter of his crime, threatening to kill nim also if he said anything about it. ChaeOn was unarmed at the time he was killed, while Perez had .3s ealiber gun in his shirt bosom when he lured his victim to his death.
 The dead man was % years old, while Perez is 26 !.
