THREE OF AMENDMENTS
 ADOPTED
BALANCE SNAPPED" BY THE PEOPLE, EVIDENT
 LY ON PRINCIPLE WE HAVE ENOUGH LAW.

Only three of the l2 measures passed upon by the people of Arizona at the last election have been adopted according to practically complete of ficial returns from all IA counties. The three measures adopted are 'bonc dry prohibition, which becomes ef- fcctive as soon as the governor s proclamation is issued; the measure abolishing the death penalty; and the new amendments to the game law The latter two measures were adopt ed by approximately 500 votes each, while prohibition which carried two years ago by bare 5000 votes. was made far more strict by a sweeping majority of over 1000.
 The measure providing for local op- ton was defeated by l6,500 votes, the majority against it being one and one half times the majority in favor oi prohibition. The three measures, abolishing tile State senate, creating a department of labor and establish ing the office of State architect were defeated by majorities of 5000, 7,50O and 10000. The bill providing 10, amendments to the divorce code, and reducing the term of residence to six months was beaten by 5000 votes, The proposed workmcn's compensa. tion act appears to have been defeated by about the same majority, while the measure providing for legislative re- districting has been defeated by 2,033 votes. It seems probable that the amendment providing that initiated and referred measures must receive a majority of all the votes cast to be come q law has been defeated by a small majority, although this will not be known finally until all the returns have been received. Even the meas ure raising the exemptions of widows from taxation from Sl,0O0 to S2,O03 was defeated by Arizona's electorate. although no fight whatever was made on the bill Under the old system of valuation, widow was allowed an exemption of Sl,0OO on all property assessed for taxation, and property was assessed at about SO cents on the dollar. Now that property is as sessed at 100 cents on the dollar, the legislature proposed to raise the cx, cmption in proportion. But the peo- pic, many of whom did not under stand what the law meant, defeated il on election day.

NEEDS MONEY ID RUN CHICKEN
 RANCH
CHERRY CREEK POULTRY MAN ASKS PRESC TT BUSINESS MEN LEND. HIM FINANCIAL AID.

A number of business men met at the chamber of commerce last night for the purpose of discussing the ad- visibility of lending financial assist ance to E. A. Bonham, who operates chicken ranch in Cherry creek. Bonham started in the poultry buSi- ness two or three years ago on an ex- perimental scale and made a small success of 1t but was handicapped by the lack of money. Last year several business men came to his assistance and one of the most complete poultry farms in the West has been developed. However, most of the money raised was used in enlarging the plant and Bonham still faced the problem of running the place without sufficient funds.
 After Bonham conferred with Le- Roy Anderson, the latter sent notices to the businessmen of Prescott urg- ing them to be present at last nights meeting A fair-sized representation was present and Bonham explained that with S5,000 he could place the poultry farm on a paying basis. It was decided to further investigate the possibilities before attempting to raise the required amount by subscription
 As there is a good market here for poultry products, businessmen of the city are desirous of having the pro- ject prove successful inasmuch as everyone, including the consumers, would benefit by it

ANOTHER MINING DEAL REV|VES
 OLD MINE
THE LONE PINE GROUP, NEAR HURON, TAKEN OVER BY LOCAL OPER- ATOR THIS WEEK.

The closing of another quite i'm portant mining deal was announced yesterday, by which the group of the Lone Pine Mining Co.,, situated to the east of Huron about mile, passed over to M. N. Andrews, local oper- ator who enjoys an excellent name for his practical ability.
 The terms of the deal were not given publicity, but Mir. Andrews stated that operations are to begin at once in which additional depth and extending the old levels will be en- ergetically carried out. The property was active several years ago, when internal troubles necessitated a sus- pension, and with intermittent work, given under short-time leases, noth- ing extensive in development has been performed for the past decade. In making an examination during the week of old workings. Mir. Andrews stated he was astoundcd with the orc content in which copper predominat- ed and gold is exceptionally high. He said further: ''I am surprised that such an attractive proposition should have remained inactive as the wave of mining investment IS so pro- nounced at the present time. and op- portunity for capital is so desirable for making another successful pro- ducer out of a property which had been practically abandoned for many years.
 The Lone Pine is but another apt illustration of what the rcviving pro- cess of old mines is proving in this field. and I am sanguinc over demon strating an attractive property when development is carried out. 1 will cs- tablish a camp and begin actively operating at once"

REVIVED SILVER MINE CAUSES
 EXCITEMENT
COLORADO OPERATOR IS KING WONDERFUL SHOWING ON THE OLD SNYDER PROPERTY.

Arrivals Monday from Lower Tur- key creek report the operations of E. ]. Temple on the old Snyder silver tungsten mines as occasioning some excitement by new exploration given recently, in which it was stated large bodies of high grade ore had been de- termined at the greatest depth given.
 Three shifts arc at work and ship ping has started to Fl Paso. Addi- tional machinery also is being in stalled, and quite large camp has been established.
 Mir. Temple made the purchase of the group carly in the year, but active exploration was not started until a short time ago, owing to cave-ins in the old workings. The property had laid idle for nearly 20 years until the above Colorado mining man took it over for its tungsten values. Silver assuming higher price than in many years, and this metal being the prin- cipal value carried, has again thrown this well known pioneer mine into prominent rating Since the strike of high grade ores has been made at that point other mines nearby arc preparing to resume and 1t is pre- dictcd that this Winter will sec more activity prevailing throughout that section than has been known for many years

STATE WILL BE BONE
 DRY" ON NEXT MONDAY

PHOENIX, Nov. ?. - The final touch of Governor Hunts pen to the proclamation that will complete the drying out process in Arizona, will be given next Monday. Coming right on the heels of the proclamation by rail- road and express companies that they would not accept liquor ship ments that would be en route to con signees after certain dates, this semi official announcement receives the color of extreme likelihood.
 It was pointed out that the prohibi- tion amendment would first be en- forced by the carriers, no matter whether the administration affixes its signature today or month from to- day. As far as common carriers can, they will place the new amendmens in effect after tomorrow, when ship ments from Los Angeles will be no more accepted.
 Huge quantities of liquor arc being poured into the State, as the resi- dents are preparing not only for the Thanksgiving and Christmas cheer but are making ready to stall of the uIOulH as long as pOSSiOlc. nc death blow to personal use will be marked by almost as big a party as was the original prohibition amend ment. two years ago next January 1. But in this case, the celebration must needs be of a fairly quiet order.
 CanvasSed returns from the State will be in the hands of Sccre- tary of State s. F. Osborn during the carly part of this week. He will prob ably have them tabulated and in shape to certify to the governor by the following Monday. Only upon such certiication can the governor sign the proclamation but apparently the railroads have taken it for grant ed that the unofficial returns on the prohibition amendment are reliable.

BUTTERNUT HITS
 LARGE COPPER CONDITION
(From Tuesdays Dsily.)

Authentic reports were given yes terday by arrivals from Big Bug dis trict. that the shaft had entered large copper condition at the greatest depth given. and cross-cutting there from had determined a 22-foot orc body with the footwall not yet reach ed. The management of the property Is withholding publicity, on the ground, it is believed. that before the zone is determined, the crosscut is to be driven to ascertain absolute condi- tionS.
 The strike is occasioning very much comment among miners, and for this reason the source of information is crcdibly weighed At other points on the group diamond drilling pro- greSscs. and this movement also is occasioning interest from surface conditions prevailing, as to the out come being favorable The Butter nut is a holding of the Big Ledge Company, and was revived less than six months ago after being idle for nearly 30 years.

CObber Situation
 Without Precedent

Soaring prices for copper, an in stant demand that insures further price advances, increased production by all the big companies and news oi gigantic merger of copper proper ties have combined to invest the rcd metal with a new interest.
 The copper market situation is un- preccdented. Scarcity of copper for delivery in 1917 is so acute that all the sellers in New York have withdrawn their quotations for any delivery this side of July. Two large sellers arc refusing to book any business this side of September, in hope of reliev- ing the situation.
 The market is practically in the hands of those who have any metal available for delivery up into June.
 One dealer is understood to have sold small block of November cop per at 34H cents per pound.
 Since December of last year the Allied Powers have bought about a million pounds of copper in the Unit cd States. l: is understood that France is now in the market for over 20O,OOG,OOO pounds.
 Illustrating the cndcavor of Amer ican copper producers to meet the de- mand for the metal is the fact that the Utah Company's output in the third quarter of this year was 6i,O79,o24 pounds.
 Shipments of the Ray-Hcrculcs Company at present are confined to. sulphide ore encountered in the de- vclopment of the company's main shaft.
 The main body of orc will not be worked until the mill has been con- pleted. It is estimated at between 100000 and 12O0O,OOO tons or ore, averaging about 230 per cent.
 It IS predicted in we'll informed quarters that within year the Jc- rome district will be the largest pro- iucing camp in the United States.

BUNKER HILL Is
 PREPARING TO RESUME
(From Tuesday's Oaiiy.)

In keeping with the unusually ac- tive situation in the mining field ad- jaccnt to Prescott in new properties assuming life. and old ones being re- vivcd. that of the Bunker Hill wheel ing into line is another important movement, announced yesterday.
 This gold group is situated cast of Walker. and close 10 Chaparral. on which large development was given nearly 70 years ago, by stock com pany. Originally. however, it was operated by Frank x. O'Bricn and Thos. ]. Carrigan, of Prescott ln- structionS were received yesterday by John Kelly from the owner, Emil Kaufman, of San Diego. to resume, and carry out certain development.
 When the Bunker Hill Company was alive vast amount of cXplora- tion was given, the principal develop mcnt being to tap the vein at great depth with tunnel, that reached 1900 feet. The objective point was to get under the shaft. from which zone was produced the good grade of milling ore, several hundred tons Of which were millcd at Chaparral and on Lynx creek It iS believed the tunnel will be continued to reach the above point. when it is expected that an active producer will be determined. The shaping up of the old camp for the work planned begins at once, and later Mir. Kaufman will arrive and assume charge.

be built down the Verde valley and will have its terminal at Mesa. Such a road would afford direct connec. tions with the Southern Pacific and tho Southwestern and would open a sec ton oi the State which is said to con- tain many mineral possibilities and other undeveloped resources.
 The Greatest "If."
 If another producing mine IS devcI- oped in the Verde district the great est of possibilities may become cortainties. At the present time pro- duction is limited to three companies the United Verde, United Verde EX- tension and Copper Chief. All of the other companies, large and small, arc prospects. These are scattered over an area of approximately ten miles north and south and two miles cast and west. In some places both oi these figures can be enlarged. One of the promising features of the en- tire outlook lies in the fact that two of the producers are at the north end of the district, bordering on the Yer de North Fault. and the other is al the south end of the district.
 Should another orc body be uncov- cred in any part of the region the present boom can be regarded as . side show to the big circus. Jerome ii such a thing takes place, can mol be held. It will surely be the great est mining boom camp of recent years.
 Great Development.
 Capital is coming into the district very rapidly A large part Of this capital is being expended judiciously by the men who arc interested in the properties. They are digging into the ground and the prospects are that they may be able to locate another big ere body. This Is one of the sev- cral encouraging features of the situ- ation
 Another is the fact that many of the most prominent mining men oi the entire country are interested in the district and more promising to enter and develop property which they now hold by options. Certainly their faith is sufficient guarantee to make the layman invest hls money Tn Jerome securities.
 The entire region is ono large work shop. On every hillside miners are at work. Some are sinking shafts, others are erecting bunk houses, tun- nelling is going ahead on many prop critics and more people are coming into the region every day.
 Tn Conclusion.
 Every man, woman and child in Jc- rome and, in fact, all over the State has his or her favoritc mining stock or venture All undoubtedly have good reason for their belief. The fact of the matter is that there are so many good-looking prospects that it would be hard to choose any two or three that outrank, by any consider able degree, the remainder of the of- fcrir1p
