TEACHERS HAV [ GREAT TIME
 AT JEROME
STUDENTS EN T E R T A N ALL VISITORS; SUPT. MILLER GREATLY I'M PRESSED ON VISIT
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

w. Curtis Miller, county superin- tendent, says that the Verde Valley Teachers Association meeting at Je- rome last Saturday was a perfect success. It was rainy weather and the attendance, taking this into con sideration, was large. The previous ly published program was carried out in detail on Saturday morning, and Saturday evening the Jerome school repeated an operetta entitled Sylvia" to the great enjoyment of all visiting teachers and others who attended in great numbers.
 The feature that seemed to inspire Mir. Miller more than anything else on the trip was the entertainment given by the first and second grades of the primary school in the primary school auditorium. He said that no less than 250 primary students gath cred in the auditorium and gave an entertainment which would interest any person on earth. It consisted of the singing of the school songs which are used in the regular routine of school work, the recitation of scripture, and other literary produc' tions which are familiar to the school
 Superintendent Miller came homo impressed seriously with the growth of the schools in Jerome. He said 1t was really more remarkable than the average person not in touch with 1 the situation could appreciate.

It seemed to be the concensus of opinion that com mittee from the library board could easily raise the $500 necessary to keep the institution open during the coming year if it would only canvass the town for the same. Mir. Powers spoke against the proposition of the chamber trying to raise the money. and suggested that the library should be kept nearer up to date with refer ence to the addition of useful and timely books.
 The meeting adjourned to meet rcXt Wednesday evening. instead oi on Thursday evening. the latter date falling on Christmas eve.

 It was also reported that the Con solidated at Humboldt was to be a heavy patron and the surface ores and the accumulation on the dumps would be shipped at once.

]. N. Duncan was in the city yes terday from his Poorman group of mines near Walker, and stated the dump contains over 400 tons ready for milling at Poland, and stamps would begin to drop again in short time, probably on continuous run for the winter.
 The first batch treated a short time ago gave satisfactory returns and with the large tonnage exposed in the levels, ready for blocking out, the mine is making creditable showing. Duncan also stated the dis trict is making a better showing gem orally than in many years.

Selection of Any Rebel Leader as
President Of the Republic. (
Washington, May 19.-General Huer.
ia has authorized the Mexican media
ton delegates to submit his resigna-
ton, in case such course is found
necessary to a settlement in peace
negotiations. This was stated posi-
lively in dispatches from thoroughly
competent diplomatic source in Mex.
leo City to one of the foreign repre-
sentaives here and confirms intima-
tons given by friends of the delegatek
here.
According to this information from
Mexico City General Huerta at first
authorized the delegates to discuss
only the question of the Tampico con-
fiict, leading to the American occupa~
ton of Vera Cruz.
Later the Mexican dictator, it is ex-
planned, came to recognize the neces-
sity Of a broader settlement and then
conveyed to the delegates assurances
that he was prepared to step down
should this course be found necessary
by them.
Form of Rule Puzzling.
The problem causing chief concern
to diplomats in Mexico City now is
that of the form of administration to
be established during the interregnum
before a constitutionally elected pres
iCent could assume office.
No limitations concerning the name
Of possible successor to Huerta
were contained in the dispatch, this
subject being one in which it would
be necessary to consult Constitutions
alsts and other leaders in Mexico.
The information of Huertas atti.
tude now received through foreign
diplomatic channels agrees with the
view obtained by some of the close
friends of the Mexicans during their
stop here. According to this view the
delegates realized that the present ad-
ministration at Mexico City was fast
going to pieces, and it was inevitable
that Huerta give place to some other
authority. It did not, however, dis
close that Huerta had authorized his
resignation, if the; considered that
course necessary, and this more def.
mite phase was first made known in
the dispatch through diplomatic chan.
