DOESN'T KNOW A GOOD SOLDIER
est. Louis Dispatch)

Rejected for enlistment in the United States Marine Corps because the trigger" and middle fingers were missing from his right hand, Ebert Harlan, a raw-boned applicant from Oklahoma, went from the recruiting station here to a shooting gallery nearby and made 25 straight hits on a moving target with a small calibre rifle. while the sergeant who had re- jected him looked on.
 "I can shoot better with my little finger than some men can with their trigger fingers" Harlan said after his performance, land I cannot under stand why you won't take me-
 The marine sergeant explained that the loss of the fingers interferes seri- ously with the proper handling of the rifle at drills.

SHORT COURSE FOR
 MINERS STARTS SOON
Educational Offering at Uni versity of Arizona to Open
 on October 30.

Next Monday. October 30th. is the starting day of the Miners Short Course at the University of Arizona. The first course is distinctly for pros pectors, those who desire to correlate their knowledge of prospecting into concrete form and who desire some elementary knowledge of mineralogy, blow-pipe analysis. surveying and elementary geology.
 This is the type of work that every man who is a prospector. or who in tends to become prospector. should have. It is not impossible to enter such courses after the opening day, but it is unadvisable, for those enter ing late are much handicapped by the work lost.
 The courses last year were very successful and the men taking them unanimously voted them to be of great benefit to them.
 Inquiries regarding these courses should be addressed to The Dean. College of Mines & Engineering, Uni versity of Arizona, Tucson.

JEROME DAISY ABOUT READY TO COMMENCE
 SINKING FIRST SHIFT
Company Has Ample Funds and Is Now Proceeding with Development - Buildings Are Being Erected.

JEROME. Oct. 2S.-With President James F. Movies personally in charge the sinking of shaft on the Red Dyke claim of the Jerome Daisy Copper com. pany will be commenced early next week
 For several days a crew of Mexicans has been engaged in building trail from the Arkansas & Arizona camp over to the Jerome Daisy. about mile distant They finished their work to- day.
 Even before they had placed the trail in fairly passable condition. how ever. President Movies, who appar- ently well deserves his new sobriquete of Sudden Jim. had a quantity of lumber packed over on the backs of burros. The grading of a site for a bunkhouse will begin today.
 For some time tre Jerome Daisy company has had several men doing some preliminary work around the camp and shaft sites. They lost a great deal of time, however. travelling back and forth between Jerome and the property. In order to prevent this loss of time. President Movies has been making all possible speed in his arrangements to put up camp build ings.
 The site chosen for the lrst shaft is right on the Verde north fault and little higher up out of the creek than the old shallow shaft. which is now partly caved in. There is no danger from floods at the Jew site but any freshet may change the course of the creek and fill up the old shaft
 The shaft will be sunk right into an immense capping of iron-stained quartz. Much of this quartz is 50 per cent iron, and it all carries some copper. gold and silver. It is claimed that the same kind of a capping was cut by the United Verde Extension at 600 feet. In the Jerome Daisy's part of the district the lime and sandstone have been eroded away. leaving iron exposed
 From a financial standpoint the Jerome Daisy company is now out of the woods. So much of the 200.- 0O0-share treasury allotment. offered at 30 cents. has been taken that it is assured that the entire issue will be subscribed for shortly. Ample funds are in the treasury for the sink ing of several shafts through the iron capping and into the formation which carries the ore in other parts of the district
 It is possible that the company will soon undertake the construction of a wagon road from Clarkdale. five miles away The road can be built on an easy grade all the way. and as there is no rock work to speak of. it will

ARKANSAS & ARIZONA
 DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Crosscuts East and West From the 1900 Level to Be Im-
 mediately Extended.

JEROME, Oct. 2S. - November 1 will see development work actually under way at the Arkansas & Arizona
 The two big electric pumps ordered some time ago are already on the way and may be delivered any day. They will be installed immediately on the HOO and 1900 foot levels. All perapations for their installation have been made.
 When the new pumps are in place the old ones will be. pulled out They have been effectual in keeping the water down but are operated by the motors which are required to furnish power for development
 The west and east crosscuts from the 1900 are to be continued in the search of ore bodies believed to lie in those directions The west cross cut is already 750 feet from the shaft and has cut the contact. That to the east has been driven only 150 feet. It is to be continued on toward North Verde ground, where a great many persons believe the richest ore on the entire A. X A. property will be devel- oped.
 There is also crosscut westward from the 1100-foot level, commonly spoken of as the 1900. It is badly caved in and is now being cleaned out. Whether further work will be done on this level is to be decided after an examination of the crosscut is made by Engineer Halstead Linds- lev.

1 JEROME, Oct. 2S.-Word was re- ceived here tonight that the Venture Hill people had come into sulphide ore in their tunnel twenty feet from the Verde Apex line How much of a strike they made is not known at this time.
 The taking over of the Verde Apex by prominent mining men of Bisbee. Douglas and Miami proved the sensa- tion of the Jerome district this week. The stock of which only a small DOT t1on is out, rose steadily upon news of the deal and proved one of the most active on local markets. In addition to the announcement that men associated with some of the largest interests in Miami are back of the new concern, the Verde Apex announced the affiliation of MT. Jour lin. chief engineer of the Inspiration Consolidated, with the new company.
 While the property is in the heart of the Jerome district and is reported to have better showings than proper tics adioining it.
