alleged that the county attorney had
no authority to bring such a suit.

and other merchandise and goods
furnished by Clark in his capacity
as county road superintendent, all
OF which is unpaid and due. 1t

Local stockholders in the United
Verde Extension mine at Jerome
are much elated over the sudden
advance in the price OF stock in
this valuable property. 1t was quot
ed here and on the Boston board
the other day at S2.12h, an adj
vance over former quotations OF
about one dollar.
The par value OF this stock is
fifty cents per share, considerable
stock having been taken in this vi
cinity, at Douglas and other places
in the state, at figures around sew
enty-fve cents. Recently this COM
pany sold an additional amount OF
treasury stock at one dollar, the
money thus raised to be used in
the completion OF extensive devel-
opment plans already formulated.
Those in closest touch with the
United Verde Extension are enthusi-
astic with reference to its future
In fact the best posted people look
for it to become one OF the great
est copper properties in the entire
southwest. 1t is stated by local men
interested in the property that they
would not be surprised to see furth-
er advances in the price OF stock.
The Verde Extension is in the
same mineral zone as that of the
famous United Verde proper, prop
erty which has become noted as

KILLS SELF IN
PICTURESQUE SPOT

(From Thursdays Daily.)
At one OF the most picturesque
points overlooking the beautiful
Verde valley near Jerome, a dis
consulate printer named n. s. Pole
son committed suicide by taking
poison, his dead body being found
in the position it had evidently oc-
cupied when the victim determined
to shuttle off this mortal coil.
Polleson came to Jerome about
two months ago, since which time
he had been employed on the Je-
rome News. Two weeks ago he
was welded to a girl from
New Orleans. Last Saturday night
he came up missing. and his body
was found by searching party in
position which indicated that his
last moments were inspired by de-
sire for beautiful scenery.
Little or nothing is known OF the
deceased, the officials having to deal
in his case with one of those mys
terious tragedies which have no
earthly explanation.

OLD APPOINTEES WILL
MOSTLY HOLD OVER
CFrom Wednesdays pailyl


Another application for appoint
ment by the board of supervisors
as county engineer was filed yester-
day with r. T. Belcher, clerk OF
the board, being that of W. H..
Merritt This makes four applicants
Tor this position. Under the new
law the Offices OF county engineer
and county road superintendent were
combined and the position is now
known as that OF county engineer.
1t is contemplated that the person
holding the position must not only
be competent civil engineer but
also competent person to hold
down the job OF taking care OF and
improving the county roads. The
four men who have thus lar applied
are all civil engineers.
On the first of January the board
will have the duty OF appointing
not only a county engineer, but a
clerk for itself, a court house JAM
tor. superintendent OF the county
poor farm and a gardener TO care
for the court house plaza. The
only one among these appointees
who will be new, according to the
present outlook. is that OF court
house janitor, it being understood
that ]. II. Drew will resign the
janitorship to accept the position
of county jailor under Sheriff Young.
r. T. Belcher, the present clerk
of the board. is one of the very
best men who ever held that posi-
ton 1t would be one OF the i'm
possibilities to find a person in this
county so well qualified for this
strenuous and very particular and
responsible job, according to those
who know of his work and char
acteristic painstaking care in every
detail. and he will undoubtedly be
re-appointed without opposition.
1t is also probable that A. Cruick-
shank will be re-appointed as gar
dener, having given the best OF
satisfaction during his term.
DR.. Southworth has no opposition
thus far as medical director at the
county hospital. After the social
ed mothers pension" law takes eff
feet, there will be little poor farm

probably always be some kind of

FEDERAL AID IN BE-
HALF OF MAIN HIGHWAY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-That
exactly the same reason does not
exist in the several states for the
improvement of their roads was set
forth in the unanimously adopted re-
port OF the resolutions committee OF
the American Road Congress just
held in Atlanta, Ga. with the larg-
est attendance ever attracted to a
highways meeting.
Chairman w. Tom VIM OF the
resolutions committee presented this
in reference to federal corporation:
"RESOLVED, That the American
Road Congress emphatically en-
dorses the principle OF federal CO.
operation toward the construction OF
main highways. and thus assist the
several states to build the main
market roads in the one half OF the
country which is devoted to agri-
culture and to build through a main
roads in the one half OF the country
which is not predominantly agricul-
tural, but whose prosperity depends
upon mining. the raising OF live
stock, and the presence OF the
health seeker
Congressman w. p. Borland made
the principal address at the Federal
Aid" session, presided over by Chair
man G. c. Diehl OF the A.A.A Good
Roads Board. and the Missouri rep
resentative thus summed up the sit
uation:
1T is easy enough to shout good
roads and TO convey the adroit i'm
preston on the minds of every hill
farmer that he will have the road
pass his place; but when we get
down to practical business we will
find that only very limited per-
centage can ever be improved to a
high condition and that these roads
must be the ones which will serve
the greatest number OF people. 1t
is very easy to defeat the whole
plan by appeals to the prejudices
of those voters who would be led
to believe that they will get no di-
rect benefit from the roads. 1t is
possible even to inflame them TO
high Indignation against the people
whom they think will be benefited.
1T will be necessary in my judg-
ment TO classify all existing high
ways into at least three classih-
cations. The first is the great cross
state or interstate highways reach
ing into every county in the state,
and opening up every section to the
benefits OF the improved land val
ues. freer social intercourse. and
higher intellectual life. The second
is the main feeders or great coun-
Try roads; and third, the by-roads.
local roads or lanes. These various
classes OF roads should be built, i'm
proved and maintained with a view
to the amount OF traffic that they
can bear and must bear"

camp in the Bradshaws. en- route
home stated the future of that prop
erty was hanging in the balance, OF
whether to suspend development, or

ton laws OF Arizona, the income tax

OCTAVE MINE IS
ON VERGE OF BOOM
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
The Octave mining property in
the Congress Junction district is
now being examined and sampled
with a view of restoring the prop
erty and placing it in the list OF
producers. The Octave mine has
most excellent record behind it. The
main incline shaft is down 1900
feet with an abundance of ore in
all the workings. The vein has been
strong and continuous one and
large bodies OF ore have been free
milling and cyaniding. Some por-
tions of the vein contain sulphides
and other parts OF it have in as
sociation a copper entent that so
far has rendered it impossible to
pass through the mill. There is
quite a large tonnage OF this class
OF ore in the mine.
The property has a most excel
lent combination milling plant, in
Guiding stamp mill and concentrate
and cyanide apparatus. The mine
is also fully equipped with HOSTS,
pumps and all other necessary para
phernalia for successful operation
On the surface at The mine are a
number of comfortable dwelling
houses, stores. etc, and quite an
extensive townsite, with many build
ings.
The starting up OF this property
would mean much for the district
in which the Octave is located, as
the Alvarado mine is already oper-
ating there
1t is confidently expected that
the Octave district will soon assume
the air of its most palmy days. |

BIG OPERATIONS
PLANNED FOR DESERT


Before leaving for Los Angeles
Tuesday, J. \. Woods, who ar
rived during the week from Bridge
port, Illinois, stated he returned to
arizona to close up negotiations
by which the Cave creek placer
field would begin operations at once,
as well did he have under consider
alton the acquiring OF an option on
the holdings of the Rich Hill Com
pany. near Congress Junction.
The first move, however, will be
made at Cave creek. and the intcn-
ton is to purchase Stebbins con-
contractor OF heavy tonnage to work
that ground by the dry process.
The machine will be installed be-
fore December /, and few days
later will be running. The location
was selected several months ago,
after several tests were made for
values that were Indicative OF the
future possibilities of the formation.
Woods will return to Prescott
early next week, when he will make
an inspection OF the Rich Hill prop
erty, where a small Stebbins con-
contractor was installed a few months
ago. and given a tryout that proved
satisfactory in recoveries made OF
placer dust. Rain falling, further
operations were suspended. Addi-
tional runs will be made after
Woods returns. He stated that
eastern capital is seeking investment
for gold mining in the west, with
placer as preferred.
