ganized. But the Dundee e-Arizona has struck a splendid ore body al ready and $2 is offered for stock that went at $1 ten days ago. A lot of copper can lie under forty acres of ground, especially if that ground is in the Jerome district. Dundee stock, like that of the Lizard, was greatly oversubscribed.
 Jerome Is damned
 T wish that I could find place to start rooming house." is an other earnest desire frequently voiced For Jerome is today crowded to her utmost capacity. The boom has brought in investors, mining experts and just plain miners from all parts of the world It is almost impossible to get room at the hotels They do say that some cots, work two shifts. Jerome is a poor place for one who is not willing to put up with a few discomforts and, perhaps, bunk with a perfect stranger
 Every day the tide increases. For one man who leaves Jerome two come in. The housing problem is indeed becoming a serious one. And as the United Verde is going to put on 500 more men this summer, the Jerome Verde, Green Monster and half a dozen others now inactive are soon to begin development, the prob lem becomes more serious every min ute.
 Today the population of Jerome is, roughly speaking, $500 souls. Those who are on the inside and know whereof they speak are convinced that this will be doubled by the first day of October. Clarkdale, seven miles away down the lovely Verde valley, has about 2500 people and is also expecting d tremendous influx of new residents If the United Verde Extension decides tC build its shelter just above Clark

 'Little Daisy
 Little Daisy" is the name one hears most frequently on the streets of Jerome, for that is the name by which the U. V. Extension is com monly known./ It was the Little Daisy before James S. Douglas ac- quired control of the property that attracted the eyes of the investing world to Jerome, and to Jerome it is still the Daisy.
 T could have bought Daisy at fifty cents two years ago." one hears a hundred times a day. The remark is always made in regretful, sorrow full tone1 for U. V. Extension is to- day selling for more than $25 a share anu pTtuiCtlOllS are lIeely Dldue that it will go to $50.
 Dave Morgan told me to buy Daisy when they cut that ore on the 1900" is another claim that is often put forth. T could have got it for q dollar then, but 1 was a chump."
 There are many, however, who were not chumps. Hundreds of Jeromite, and ClarkdaIites hold Daisy today, and hundreds more made money buy ing it at low figures and selling it after the rapid rise set in, which was not till late in 1915.

splendid residences and business blocks that would do credit to any city. Most of the vegetation in the immediate vicinity was killed years ago by the smoke from the old shelter above Jerome, and the hill- sides have a barren aspect. But Jerome does not see the lack of verdure. To her the green of a lime carbonate outcrop is far more beauti- ful than the green of the Yavapai pines.
 Town With a Plan
 Clarkdale was built upon a plan and is one of the most attractive little cities iR the west. It was planned when the United Verde com pany decided to build it's shelter there. The superintendents, foremen and office men of the shelter and Verde Valley railroad live in neat, modern brick cottages. The furnace men and other employees live in less pretentious dwellings, but dwellings kept just as scrupulously clean as the finest in the place.
 So much for the towns as they are today. Now for a little history little history to show that floating a legitimate copper proposition in the Jerome district was not always the easy matter that it is now.
 The original big mine of the Jer- ome district is the United Verde There are those who claim that the Extension is bigger than the U. V. but this has not been proved and ir any general account of the district the Clark property must come first McClintock, in his History of Ari zona, says of the United Verde:

 dale, as it may do. another thriving town will grow up there. Jerome and Clarkdale will no longer be spoken of as the twin cities there will be triplets.
 Jerome is the mining town and Clarkdale is the shelter town. Jer- ome is perched up on the east side of the Black Hills amid scenery as beautiful as can be found anywhere in the world. The mighty San Fran cisco peaks loom up in the distance. Afar winds the Verde, an emerald strip among opals. blues, purples, whites and soft browns. Near at hand is mighty Mingus mountain, lowered with pines amid which great snowbanks even yet glisten in the sunlight.
 Though Jerome was laid out in haphazard fashion-in the early days each man built his house facing in any direction he pleased-the town is not unattractive. It has some

ploitation that will injure her repu- tation in the eyes of the world. No tation than Jerome. She is proud and jealous of that reputation.
 l shudder to think what will hap pen the first person who tries to float a wildcat proposition in Jerome. No one who knows the temper of her people will ever attempt anything so foolhardy. Jerome is community of people who know mining. Ledges, contacts, dips, dikes, zones, are not mere names to them. They can't be fooled and they do not intend that Jerome's name and reputation shall be used to fool anyone who is not so miningw wise as they.
 No Demonstrated Failure
 To be sure, much money has been spent in developing properties that did not prove commercially profitable but the money has been spent hon. estly. Jerome has been singularly free from dishonest exploitation. But even the mines referred to are by no means failures. Experts are of the opinion that deep development may make all of them big producers of the red metal for which the world is eager to pay 29 cents a pound.
 Yes, Jerome can be spoken of as the camp without failure.
 There is municipal campaign on in Jerome now but a visitor would never know it if he did not see the placards nailed to the telephone poles. ! Nobody talks about city, state or na- tional politics. Even the European war and the Mexican situation in terest Jerome chiefly because of their possible effect upon the copper mar ket.
 Everyone is talking stocks.

U. V. EXTENSION STARTED IT AND NOW WHOLE WORLD scRAMBLSs FOR JEROME
 SHARES
(BY ERNEST DOUGLAS)


 At cost of $2O,0OO the United Verde Extension Mining company marketed s5OO,OOO worth of copper ore last month.
 The United Verde Extension has the biggest body of high grade copper ore in the world
 All over the vast Jerome district there are surface showings every bit as encouraging as those on U. V. Extension ground. It has already been proved that many of them go far be- low the surface.
 These are only a few of the reasons why Jerome is enjoying the biggest healthiest boom ever experienced by an Arizona mining camp.
 Jerome" is a magic word in the copper share market today. Any thing with that name attached to it IS gobbled up eagerly by investors who know that the demand for cop No 6SAh6 bO AllClOdot anu lHCItdSt and increase whether the war in Flu rope continues or not.
 Jerome is copper riveted to pros perity.
 The world wants copper, copper copper. Jerome has copper, copper, copper-also gold and silver.
 
 Jerome was prosperous when she had only the United Verde mine and thought that there wasn't any other copper in the district worth men, 'tioning. But now she has walked up 10 the fact that the Jerome mineral belt which seams the Black Hills region a score of miles, is one great deposit of copper.
 Finding copper around Jerome is the easiest thing in the world. The only wonder is that somebody did not before realize that here is the greatest undeveloped copper field on the face of the earth
 Reasons Why
 With the United Verde increasing the output of it's smelter from 5000, Oo0 to S,OOO,OOO pounds month and adding 800 men to it's payroll; with the United Verde Extension installing an air compressor which may be util- ized to double its already phenomenal Uutput; with the United Verde Ex- tension laying plans for the erection of its own smelter; with the Copper Chief not only turning out gold and silver bullion in immense quantities but also entering the copper produc- ing class; with the Dundee-Arizona opening a blind ledge that averages 20 per cent copper; with the Calumet X Jerome in the hands of the power ful Shattuck company; with the Jer- ome Verde, North Verde, Arkansas & Arizona and a dozen othef big mines entering the active list-with all this is t any wonder that Jerome, to use an expressive if inelegant phrase, fee that she has the world by the tai with a downhill pull?
 Jerome isn't any typical boon camp. She wouldn't be a typica boom camp of the old days even i the sale of liquor were allowed-anC Jerome is without doubt the dryes mining town in Arizona
 Jerome is feyerishiy excited but a the same time is perfectly sane. Sh, knows that her boom has solid req sons behind it. even if it was Ionl delayed Nobody has lost his head The citizens of Jerome are determine, that her prosperity shall not be mad the foundation for stock market ex

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the Administers

who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as

we're told that the question Of
preparedness was not press

the pressure OF other leader

The Administration, 1t was

then, the demand was not prose

respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent.

But It was precisely such plain
defects that under the constant
