Open house at the Big Jim mine
Friday proved to he a wonderful sue
cess
All work was suspended for the day
so as TO give full sway to the many
that wanted to go down the mine and
make personal inspection.
A. G. Heating, the superintendent.
and the man who is given credit for
the placing of the Big Jim in line
among the big gold mines in the coun-
try. did the honOrs for the day.
Several hundred people inspected the
underground workings of that prop
erty and many were the EXPLANATIONS
of establishment at the wonderful show
ing.
The public inspection of the Jim
opened the eyes of the mining men in
the district to the facts relating to
the high assays made public by the
company from time to time.
That the Big Jim is a phenomenon
was the general opinion of the visitors
who made the inspection.
The management set aside the visi
tors day so as to allow the people here
TO see for themselves just what the
Jim is doing to sample the mine any
where or in any way.
The mining engineers were especi-
ally invited but the invitation was
broadened somewhat to include brok =
ers, assayers. promoters, newspaper
representatives and the public in gem
eral.
Hundreds visited the mine. A new
skip was placed in commission and five
persons were taken down the mine at
a time. Mr.. Heating took his visitors
on both the 400 and 4S5 foot levels
and allowed them to sample the mine
to their hearts content.

MILLION DOLLARS IN
JEROME TRANSACTION
Many Properties Change Hands and
Much Building Activity is Under
Way in Nearby Town.

JEROME. Ariz.. July 5.-One mil
lion dollars is said to be the total
consideration involved in a gigantic
deal that was partially closed in
Jerome last week The deal includes
all the individual holdings Of George
w. Hun in the Jerome district and
also his controlling interests in the
Hull. Cleopatra, Consolidated King
and Columbia Copper companies.
The deeds to Mr. Hulls individual
holdings, including surface rights in
the town OF Jerome and several valu-
able mining claims, have already been
recorded at Prescott. Part Of the
property passes directly to the United
Verde Copper company and part to
Charles W. Clark. son OF former Sen
ator w. A. Clark, who owns the Unit
ed Verde Young Clark. in fact, acts
as trustee for thu L. y. company.
As far as the town of Jerome is
concerned. the only immediate result
will be tie construction OF the new
United Verde hospital on Clark street,
just south of the Hull residence. in
stead OF on Main street where the
bandstand is located The bandstand
site had been selected as the hospital
site because il was the only availab bic
one owned by the T. V. company. but

Within few days the old Hull

Superintendent of Insane Asyl-

'Tf proper provision could be made
for after-care, many of our patients
could be released. Many of those
who are released and return after a
few months would never come back
if there was some one to watch over
them when they are dismissed"
In these two statements, DR.. w. A.
Schwallie, superintendent of the In

to which he has given much thought
lately. In most mainland institutions
of similar character there are social
workers employed to watch over re-

of the territorial asylum for the sal.

after several conferences with E. E.
Brooks, manager of the charities or,
ganization, he turned over to him the
names of half dozen of the most re-

Workers of the organization visit
these cured" or improved" patients
and watch over their environment: As
in most cases they are laborers, the
first thing to do is to get work for
them. Any cause for worry must be
removed. IVORY is a one great
cause of return" says DIR. Schwallfe.

must be impressed upon the relatives
or friends with whom the released
