TO RESUME WORK ON
 ARKANSAS AT JEROME
(From Fridays Daily)

(FrOm FrlQay Ddlly)
 Indications are good for the re- sumption of development work on the property of the Arkansas and Arizona Copper Company at Jerome. A recent meeting of the stockholders held at Little Rock, Arkansas au- thorized a bond issue and made ar engagements for the payment of out standing indebtedness and the re sumption of work. The details of the meeting and plans of the com pany are contained in an article in the Arkansas Gazette, published at Little Rock, which reads as follows
 To Issue Bonds.
 A $150,OO0 bond issue to raise funds to resume development of the Arkansas and Arizona Copper Com pany's property at Jerome, Arizona, was authorized by the stockholders at special meeting yesterday at the Hotel Marion. A resolution was passed authorizing the auditor, w. P. Weld to call in all outstanding cer- tihcates of stock for registration.
 The meeting was called by C. w. Clark, acting president, and large number of stockholders were present including J. F. Lecper of Jerome, Arizona, secretary; w. M Kava- naugh of Little Rock, treasurer, and Auditor Weld.
 Operation of the mine was. di5cOn- tinued in November and a meeting was called by the late Vim. R. Tuck CT for November IS. Mir. Tucker met his death by accident before this date, but the meeting was held, al though no action was taken for the resumption of operations.
 The bonds are to be sold to stock holders only, and at par. The money thus obtained will be used in paying the company's indebtedness, which is said to be about $26,0OO, and the re- mainder will be used for develop ment of the mine.
 The company's property adjoins that of the United Verde mine near Jerome, Arizona, one of the largest copper mines in the world. Recently an extension mine of this company called the Little Daisy has develop ed into another big producing mine and this fact has encouraged all con nccted with the Arkansas and Ari- zona company.
 Good Producer.
 Secretary Leepcr, who has just come from Jerome, told the stock holders that the vein of copper struck by the Little Daisy also cross ed the property of the Arkansas and Arizona company and that prospects for big producer are brighter than ever.
 The equipment is the most modern in construction and is capable of re moving ZOOO tons of ore daily, 1t IS said.
 In the resolutions adopted it was provided that when the operation of the mine is resumed, a competent and approved engineer of practical should be employed to avoid mistakes in underground opera tions in the future. The annual stock holders meeting will be held Janu ary 13 at Jerome.

TIGHTENING THE
 STATE GAME SCREWS
(From Fridays Daily.)

From Fridays Daily)
 No more deer.
 No more turkey
 Nothing but cottontails and jack rabbits.
 This is about the remnants of game which will be left as prey for sports men in Arizona if the proposed new game law is passed by the coming session of the legislature and signed by the governor. Such bill is al ready prepared for introduction, ac- cording to some Of the Prescott hunt CTS who have received a copy of its text. It is the result of the rccom- mendation of State Game Warden C.. M Willard, who claims it is ncces- sary to preserve the classes of game named And the bill also provides further restrictions with reference to other classes of four-footed animals and fowls.
 For the purposes of the law, Ari- zona is to be divided into two game zones, number one lying north of a straight line drawn across the state from Parker to Springvillc and num- Der two comprising the territory to the south of that line.
 Provisions for open seasons are distributed as follows:
 Ducks-All varieties, October $ to February 1; allowance twenty-five of all varieties to each seven success sivc days.
 Quail, dove, white-wings, etc-Oc- tober to February l; allowance 25 of all varieties to any one hunter in any one day.
 Jackrabbits and cottontails-Octo- Der to February 1; allowance un- limited.
 It is stated that hunters have talk en the liberty to fudge on the bird season, and when caught with the goods on them pleaded that they are hunting rabbits, making the limita- tiono necessary, according to the game warden, if game is to be prop erly preserved for the conservative benefit of the whole populace. It is said that. by making the small game season Coincide with the rabbit sea- son, this difficulty will be obviatcd.
 The zone system is made also ap plicablc to the fishing laws. In zone number one trout, bass, crappie and catfish may be sought from June to September 1, while in zone mum Der two these same varieties can on' Iy be sought from September 1 to December l.
 Change in License Fees.
 A change in the license fee Is also provided for in the proposed new law The resident license is raised | from twenty-five cents to one dollar and the nonresident fee is fixed at S10. Aliens, meaning those inhabi- -ants of the big labor camps who their bacon and beans with game which they pot in the sur- wilds, will be made to pay l gun license of $25 which carries with it hunting permit Another is made for an alien who las made application for citizenship | papers, making four months resi- lencc in the state all that is neces 3ary for the securing of a one dol ar license fee. All non-rcsidents, lnder the existing law, are required o live in the state one year before becoming eligible to obtain the ben fit of the resident fee, which now is dollar.
