OPENING IN VENTURE
 HILL MINE
SECOND ROUND OF SHOTS EXPOSES THE ORE BODY
 AS BIGGER AND BETTER,
 SAYS SUPERINTENDENT.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Bigger and better opens mp the orc body in Venture Hill as the result of another round of shots in the breast of the tunnel yesterday.
 Such was the substance of the in- formation which was phoncd last night to Director Ed. Shumate by Superintendent John s. Reilly. The fact that the vein is widening, and is apparently in richer ore, for no as says have yet been made, is regarded by mining men as strong evidence that Venture Hill will become an other big copper producer in the Jc- rome district.
 Scores Of tclcgrams were received yesterday in Prescott from brokers in Globe, Miami, Tucson and Bisbcc, following the news of the initial strike made on Thursday, making bids for the stock. One offer came from Fl Paso for a block of 10000 shares, and although the price touched To cents in the late afternoon, few Prescott holders parted with their stock at the advanced prices offered. On Friday the market price was l2 cents ard a week ago, Los Angeles brokers were offering it at 10 cents.
 Many Prescott people invested in Venture Hill last June solely on the strength of Mir. Reilly being identified with it, as it was known that he would not have accepted the superin- tendency unless he was personally satisfied that the property possessed strong possibilities, and his friends banked on his judgment. It was further known, although only to a few that he was an important but a quiet factor in the successful develop mcnt of the United Verde Extension, among other things it having been upon Mir. Rcilly's advice that the or iginal shaft was abandoned upon the Little Daisy claim, and the new one by which the property was eventually developed, sunk on the Edith claim.
 For these reasons Prescott invest ors have been sitting tight on their stock and only those sold yesterday who were tempted by the proiittaking That the market price will double within the coming week is the opinion oi those who are ia miliar with the phenomenal advance in values which practically all Jerome copper stocks have obtained during the past few months.

(Frnn Sundays DallYl

Following the closing of the doors of the Levy Brothers brokerage of- fees in Denver and Bisbcc Thursday, I. Jacobs, manager, and Harry Hast ings, cashier, of the firms house ir Bisbec were placed under arrest in the Southern Arizona city Thursday night on charges of cmbczzlcmcnt. They were c'latcr released on bail. Un- til the books from the Bisbcc office are checked over in Denver, officials of the firm say they will make no statement regarding the closing of the two offices.
 The closing of the Bisbcc office represents losses 10 the people of the Warren district aggrcgating about S4OO,0O0, it is said. The supposed failure of the firm came as a complete surprise to residents of both Denver and Bisbce. Levy Brothers was con Sidcrcd one of the most reliable brok- craze firms in the Southwest and had passed through previous financial stringcncics, particularly that of 1907. How il could have failed now, when prosperity is being felt throughout this State and Colorado, is a mystery.

 The sulphidc condition at such shal- low depth is the reason why the Fair view suddenly springs into promin- ent rating, and mining men of that field pronounce the naturalization as nothing more than a continuation of what has been developed in the Ncl- son, 10 the south. at lower eleva- ton of nearly 800 feet.

 Dear Sir: Since the occasion of your visit to s.

F. It is quite probable that committee from the exchange will accompany mo, or make a visit on their own account.
 ind that there is a growing inn provcmcnt in the situation in s. F., so far as copper stocks arc concerned. There are a number of people here who now own shares in Arizona cop per mines who have never owned them before and I believe the number of IS constantly growing. s. F. is growing into one of the best stock towns in the United States and out side of a few big Eastern ccnters, there IS doubtless more real money in the town than in almost any other city in the country
 It might be well if you have the to tell some of the mine owners and business men of that sec ton that ii is our desire to have them list their stocks and that in case We are fortunate in having them do this, they may expect our earnest cooper ation. Very truly yours,

 This feat is remarkable considering the age of this pioneer, who is near ing his 74th year. He walked the dis tance from Prescott to the summit of this landmark without any cxcrtion, and impartcd the surprising informa- ton after reaching the goal that he was sorry to admit that it was the first time he had ever reached the elevation. Ehlc with much emotion pointed toward the dim distance and recalled old landmarks which he pass cd under over half a century ago, and recalled attacks made by Indians at certain places. His recital of carly days was thrilling, and his reviewing the past proved interesting so far as Prescott was to be considered with its primitive life in only half a dozen crudcly built log cabins. "I should be ashamed of myself as a Hassayampcr to stand here and confess that the old Sentinel of the Prictas did not have a visit from me until after over half a century of being acquaintcd,' he in formed those by his side.
