WINSLOW PARTIES Interested
IN VERDE MINING DISTRICT

R. H. Tuttle, E. E. Ball, Robt.
Walton and A. A, Utley left for
Clarkdale Friday morning to in
spect, a mine near the United
Verde roperty, owned by Sena-
tor W. A. Clark of Montana.
The object of this trip was to
make an examination of the new
property, with the intention of
opening up the new bonanza.
Few people in Northern Ariz-
ona fully realize the great wealth
which is lying almost at their
own door, although nearly all
know of the world renowned
United Verde mine, which has
been continually operated for the
past twenty-five years. The gen
eral impression is that the Clark
mine is the only one worth while
in this district, simply because it
is the only property which has
had the facilities to ship and
treat it's product.
Great difficulties had to be sur
mounted to accomplish this. 9th
er properties were unable to dis
pose Of their output. At the
same time they were busy block
ing out big bodies of ore, prepar-
atory to shipment and treatment
thereby showing a sufficient out
put to warrant the construction
Of a large smelter; also a broad
gauge railroad from the Santa
Fe line at Cedardale to Clarkdale.
Senator w. A. Clark was quick
to recognize the good business
venture and about two years ago
commenced the construction of
the transportation and treating
facilities which today represent
an expenditure of nearly Sc, 900, :
600. The smelter was built for
the express purpose of treating
custom ores, and is capable OF
handling two thousand fve-hun-
dred tons daily.
Mining men who are familiar
with this district, and naturally
all mining districts throughout
the country, say that the Jero me
district is what Butte was fifteen
years ago, and what Bisbee was
ten years ago. Owing to the
splendid facilities for the hand
ling of the product, great results
can be realized in short time.

CITY SCHOOLS Reopen TUES
DAY SEPTEMBER first

At the last regular meeting of
he Board of Education, it was
decided to open the schools a
week earlier this year on account
of the term running well into

taken out Of school early as they
were last year. The records of
the local office show that over
fifty children missed some por-
ton Of the last month Of school
asst year, due to parents taking
yacaiotns during that month.
The seven room addition to the
High School was completed this
week, and the furniture is now
being put in place. The addit-
ton was built without bond or
special issue of any kind. All
funds used in the construction
were left over from the regular
maitainance funds of last year.
The rooms added to the building
are as follows: three class rooms,
two domestic science rooms, com
mercial room, mechanical draw
ing room and the school office
A large part of the furniture for
the equipment of the addition
was built in the school manuel
training department.
The teachers of the schools ap-
pointed by the Board of Educa-
ton for the coming year are as
follows:
GE Cornelius, B. S. Superin-
tendent, G w Brubaker, A. B.
