UNITED EASTERN IS
 RUSHING WORK FOR
 MILLING GOLD JAN. i
Building Is Progressing Rapid ly and Officials Plan to Send First Brick to Mint Before Year Closes.

OATMAN. Oct. 7-The rapidity with which the big United Eastern mill is being erected is surprising when the transportation facilities are taken into consideration. Auto trucks and large teams are arriving daily with the machinery and material for the plant. Six large tube mills have arrived and are ready to turn over Allis Chalmers induction motors will furnish motive power for the operation of the mill. A dozen or more of these motors are on the ground and are being installed.
 The 200-ton crusher has arrived and is being placed. The crusher building is we'll under way, and the ore bins are ready for use. The main mill buildings are under construction and another two months will see their completion. The assay office is com pleted and is being fitted with the latest equipment.
 The machine shop is being com pleted The last piece of machinery for it has arrived and are now in op- eration in turning out work for the plant. The warehouse is completed and is crowded to its capacity with machinery and supplies. The pump ing plant and storage tanks are now in operation and furnishing water to the mine and for erection work. The transformer house has long since been completed and the transformers in stalled.
 Several residences are being erect ed and many more are contemplated for the officials of the United Eastern, among them a residence for Manager Burgess and another for Building Su perintendent North.
 Men well versed in the affairs of the Eastern and the class of mill be- ing erected freely state that at least a part of the mill will be in operation before the new year. and that January will see the first gold brick from the Eastern on its way to the United States mint.
 Active development work is being carried on underground and it is said that a two-year supply of ore will be blocked out before the starting of the mill The sinking of No. ? shaft con tinues in a satisfactory manner. and before many days will have reached the greatest depth of No. shaft. Drifting on the vein and blocking out of the ore is being carried on.

VENTURE HILL HOPES TO PROVE PRESENCE
 OF HIGH GRADE ORE
Shots in Tunnel Uncover a Body of Rich Copper Which Is Expected to Prove of Per manent Quantity.

PRESCOTT, Oct. 1.-Two rounds of shots fired in the Venture Hill tunnel, have apparently demonstrated that a permanent body of high grade copper ore has been discovered.
 Further penetration of the ore body shows that the native copper is be- coming more prominent in the schist formation and that the trend of the ore is seemingly now towards the hanging wall, thus indicating that it has not been a streak which was first uncovered. When the initial strike the higher grade ore was found on the foot wall
 TwS shifts are now at work and rapid progress may be expected. Work was suspended for a week due to the fact that in blasting a road to the Pittsburg-Jerome through the Venture Hill property the portal of the tunnel was closed by huge bOulders. This had been anticipated and Superintendent John s. Reilly had guarded against the contingency by placing the machinery and camp equipment inside of the tunnel. A force of workmen succeed ed in removing the rocks and debris that covered the mouth of the tunnel. and work was resumed in driving the tunnel on Friday
 Venture Hill stock was very active during the week, shares ranging from 27 cents to 30 cents at the close. If developments continue favorable, it is predicted that the price will cross 90 cents. Anyhow, Dcal stockholders as a rule are sitting tight on their holdings and are confidently counting upon being enriched by their invest ment

JEROME VERDE WILL
 INSTALL NEW HOIST
Operations Now Concentrated at 5OO-Foot Station Prepa-
 ratory to Pumping.

Early in November the Jerome Verde will have it's own hoist. An order has been placed for one of the same capacity as the United Verde Extension machine the Jerome Verde has been using. This is the 112- horsepower hoist the Extension used in the sinking of the Edith shaft. When it is returned by the Jerome Verde it will be utilized in sinking the Extensions new hoisting shaft.
 Operations at the Jerome Verde are now concentrated at the 500-foot sta tion. which is being cleaned out and enlarged preparatory to the installa- ton of all the pumps there. The en- larging of the shaft is temporarily suspended.

CHISHOLM HERE WITH GLOBE
 PROMOTION
Old Time Mining Writer and Newspaper Man Interested in Promotion of the Old Dominion Extension.

Joe Chisholm, who claims to have
 breezed into Bisbee when the Mule Mountains were just foot hills and Geronimo was still in high school, has arrived here again on a tour of the state in the interests of the old Domi- nion Extension Mining Development company of Globe, Arizona. He says the property is in the nature Of an other C. & A.. Shattuck, or United Verde. when those properties were in the prospect stage. in that it adjcins and is devoetailed into the old Nomi- nion's ore zone, is identical with the older property geologically and as 10 all surface naturalization anI IS crossed by the same railroad, the Ari- Zona Eastern branch of the Southern Pacific.
 Joe, who is associated in the min ing venture with some of the most substantial men in Arizona, says that the O. D. Extension has several well defined veins paralleling those of the adjoining Phelps-Dodge property that intersect the same great Pinal fault wherein, and contiguous thereto, the Old Dominion is now mining its rich est ore.
 Although he and his associates have been working on the assembling and examination of the property for sev eral years, and have been incorporated under the present name for nearly a year, none of the stock has yet been placed on the market.
 When Chisholm has completed his present trip around the state they will open an extensive advertising and stock selling campaign throughout Arizona and the middle west and east ern states. Joe says the Globe-Miami district is having a boom much like the incipiency of the great Warren District boom of few years ago, but that he does not see anything very slow about the good old Bisbee zones present status at that.

TREASURY STOCK IF J. '. CON.
 IN GREAT
 DEMAND
Recent Flotation Promises To BeNIore Interesting During the Coming Week When Its Treasury Stock Is Offered.
PRICE OF SHARES
 RAISED TO 75 CENTS
Prominent Mining Engineer Recommends Proposal to Diamond Drill Ground Be- fore Much Work Is Done.

JEROME, AriZ., Oct. 7.-The books of the United Verde Consolidated Cop per Company will open at eight O. October II, for the sale of two hun dred thousand shares of treasury stock at 75 cents An official permit was issued by the corporation com mission this week.
 In order to prevent brokers taking advantage of the public clamor for U. " Consolidated to boost the price to three or four dollars a share be- Company has arranged for 75 inch display advertisements in the leading dSilies of Arizona and all the large cftfes of the country. These adver- ing and warn the public that the op ening price of U. V. Consolidated is 75 cents a share. The principals of the Company are determined to con trol the price of the stock to this ex- tent but realize that they can eXer- else no control after issuance. It seems certain that quotations will ad- vance to several dollars within a week
 Present indications are that the treasury stock will be oversubscribed five or six times. Brokers have ap- piled for more than half million shares. Most of the stock will be sold direct to the public, however.
 At the first meeting of the stock holders, held ill Jerome as soon as the Company was ghranted charter by the Corporation commission, Rob- ert w. Wingfeld, president of the Camp Verde State Bank, and one of the wealthiest merchants of Northern Arizona, was elected president; Dr. Paul Mcintosh was made vice presi- dent; Dan Robinson, postmaster of Clarkdale. treasurer; E. c. Farrell, secretary. Q
 Within a week the Company will let a contract for twenty thousand feet of diamond drilling on its two groups of claims. Representatives of two big diamond drilling concerns have been on the ground several days. The contract calls for two drills oper- ating simultaneously.
 Engineer J. D. Sperr, formerly with the Tom Reed and United Verde, has reported favorably on the Consolidat- ed holdings His report is even more enthusiastic than that of Engineer George A Bethune, who has been em- ployed to supervise development. Like Bethune, Sperr recommends the diamond drill method of locating the ore bodies.

600. .ooo, ,oooPoUNO OUTPUT
 FROM ARIZONA MINES

According to Prof. C. T. Willis, in structor of mining subjects at the Arizona State university, Arizona is now producing 26 per cent Of the worlds supply of copper. He is en' thusiastic over the outlook for mining in Arizona.
 q am confident that Arizona will this year produce more than 600,0OO,- 900 pounds of copper" he said yester- day. There is every reason to be lieve this from the increased produc- tion and the number of new proper ties being opened up in every part of the state. We can easily expect our *oper crop this year to reach a valuation of s125,O00, ,000.'

RICH STRIKES GIVEN AS REASON FOR RISE
 IN GREEN MONSTER
Reports Have It That Shafts on Missouri and Amazon Claims Encounter 17 Per Cent Copper Body.

l JEROME, Oct. 7.-Green Monster is i now the star performer in the Verde i mining district. few days ago 4
 foot body of copper sulphide ore was i encountered in the shaft being sunk i on the Missouri, and about the same time, a strike was made on the Anna , Zon claim.
 The news of the strike on the Mis- souri claim was carefully guarded and is said to be little less than sensa- tional. The ore averages IF per cent copper, and its value is realized when compared with United Verde ore which averages per cent. For weeks Green Monster stock has been mark ing time at from s2 to S214 a share.
 Another factor that has accelerated the upward movement is the rumor that Dave Morgan, superintendent of the Verde Extension will shortly take a like position with the Green Mon ster, of which he is one of the direct ors. Coupled with this report is a well-defned rumor that George King don, general manager of the Greene Cananea Copper Company. will sue ceed MT Morgan. Mir. Kingdom has been a director of U. V. Extension from the organization of the company. He is regarded as one Of the most capable mining men Tn the entire West, and is especially skilled in the science of smelling.
 Development work is being done at six different points on the ground of the company which controls the larg- est acreage along the strike of the north fault, the ore-bearing Assure of the district. Its superficial minerali zation is stronger than on any other property in the district The manage ment is now sinking a shaft to de- velop a 12-foot ledge which was re- gently struck in the Rattlesnake tun- nel at a depth of 112 feet below the surface. Several of the units of the machinery which is to be installed at the collar of the shaft, have already arrived and the remainder are on the way. As soon as the machinery is put into operation, it is understood that the crew of miners will be in- creased in order to sink the shaft more rapidly, so as to prove up the personalities of the property at depth. That the company is able to do the extensive exploration which 1t has planned, is evidenced by the fact that it has $525,000 in its treasury.
 It is predicted that the stock will touch the s mark within few days, as soon as the news of the strike be- comes generally known. Brokers in Kansas City and other points wired here for information, not understand ing the cause of the remarkable rise in the market. The stock was placed on the market last April at 75 cents a share, 100000 shares being sold at that figure within AS hours, and the issue was oversubscribed S60,O0O shares.
 The officers are Neill Bailey, presi- dent; Thomas Taylor, vice-president; W. S. Humbert, secretary and man. aging director. These officers with David Morgan and w. A. Drake com prise the directorate. LeRoy Ander- son is general counsel.

SEED CORN TO Be
HIGH IN SPRING
County Exper: Advises Growers
to Select Seed This
Fall.
BY G.. NJ. McWilliamS.

With present prices offered for corn
and the short crop being harvested it
is certain that seed corn next spring
will be scarce and high priced.
Every corn grower who has good
corn should select his seed this fall
and as much additional as he cares
to.
The excess above home requirements
will sell readily at a good figure, but
by far the most important is the seed
for home planting. One bushel of
good corn can safely be estimated to
plant eight acres, and on the average
farm, selecting the seed is not a task
that requires a great dea lof time. No
work will yield larger return for the
time spent. Furthermore, corn select
ed in the fall can be given a thorough
inspection that is impossible to give
it if seed is picked from the crib.
The horse demonstration which in
Guided some phases of horse prOduc-
ton, conformation, and common I'M
soundnesses, was attended by % farm
ers. The interest shown i'll the sub
ject was good, and it was the general
impression of those present that We
need more heavy mares in this section
ard that a common mistake in the
phase has been ir partonizing unsound
stations that Ua"a of no particular
breeding.
Two or I've dollars SPI ed on serv-
ice fee frequently nc&ns 80 or 100
dollars lost or the pre- of the mature

HORSE FIGHTS 5
MINUTES FOR life
Animal Forced Into River at
Levee Could Not Get Release
From Harness.

While q crowd of several scores of
men and women, all powerless to aid,
looked on, one of the horses of the
team that was pushed into the river
yesterday afternoon at the foot of
Themis street made gallant fight for
his life that ended in defeat.
Because he was held in the water by
the harness that throttled his neck
and was unable to liberate himself
from his companion horse and the
wagon to which he had been hitched,
the animal gradually was forced be-
meath the water and was drowned.
The companion horse was drowned
Immediately after going into the water
and was unable to put up the battle
for more than five minutes that one
of the animals did.
The team that was drowned belong
ed to the City Transfer and Livery
Company and was being driven by Jim
MintoR. Minton had placed load of
about 30 sacks of beans and other
freight on his wagon which had been
left on the wharf for the Meyer-Albert
Grocery Co.
He had driven the team south on the
levee gradually working the load to
the top of the incline of the rock
levee. At the water gauge, one of the
horses fell and began sliding. In some
manner, the team was directed down
hill and after the heavily loaded wagon
got behind the team, it forced the
horses to the water in spite of efforts
made by Minton to wheel the horses
away from the river.
AS the outfit got close to the levee
jump-off wall, Minton leaped from the
wagon. when he had broken one of the
reins in his attempts to wheel the
horses. The animal that fell never
was able to rise to its feet and both
| animals went over the wall into the
river headfrst with the wagon after
them.
The beans on the wagon which were
valued at between $3.50 and $500 went
to the bottom of the river and the
horses struggle for life ensued.
After the death of the animals. THEN
bodies were hauled from the river. The
team was valued at $3.50 to $500. The
wagon which was lost was almost new.

DORMITzER DRIVES
AUTO over FARMER
KelsO Mans Ankle is Crushed
and Leg May Have to be
Amputated.

Frank Seyer, 60 years old, who was
run down by an automobile driven by
Stanley n. Dormitzer of :hiis city near
Kelso, Friday afternoon, was reported
to be in a serious condition at his home
at KelsO yesterday afternoon.
The wheel of the machine passed
over his right leg, crushing the bone
just above the ankle. The accident was
said to have been unavoidable by wit
.nesses. Louis Dohogne had just pass
ed the scene, and Dormitzer's car was
following closely behind.
Seyer, who was walking toward Kel-
so with Frank Westrick, did not notice
Dormitzer's car, and stepped in front
of the machine. He was knocked
down and the front wheel of the auto
passed over his leg. Dormitzer stop
ped his car before the rear wheel could
reach the victim.
After realizing that Seyer was badly
hurt, he placed him in his car and
drove hurriedly to Kelso, where Dor
mitzer summoned DR.. ROdenmayer and
another physician from limo. They
set the limb, but because of the fact
that the bone had been crushed and
shattered, the injury is not improving.
1t was stated yesterday that blood
poisoning was developing and it was
feared that the leg would have to be
amputated at the knee in order to save
Sewers life.
Dormitzer said last night that his
car was moving very slowly and that
the accident could not have been avoid
ed. He was following Mr.. Dohogne's
car, but Seyer failed to see him. When
Seyer stepped in front of his car, Dor
mitzer shouted to him, but it was too
late. He applied the emergency brake,
but the front wheel passed over the
RICH leg.
Because of his age, the attending
physicians are afraid that Seyer will
not recover. He lives just on the out
skirts of Kelso with his wife and fam
lily. Seyer is engaged in truck gard
ening and fruit raising.

KELLY IS WINNER
over E. D. HAYS
Scott and Mississippi Countie
Defeat G.. o. p. Candidate
BY 40.

Frank P. Kelly was reelected Judge
of the Circuit Court over Edward ID.
Hays yesterday by a majority OF APP
proximately 400 votes. While Judge
Hays gained about 400 votes in this
county over Judge Kelly, the latter
swept both Scott and Mississippi
counties.
Four years ago. when these two cam
didates were pitted against each other,
Judge Hays carried Scott County, but
he received a heavy Socialist vote.
This strength has gone back to the
Democratic party. the Democrats an
nounced last night. and Judge Kelly
carried the county by probably 400, r.
not more.
Mississippi County also piled up
Democratic majority of from 400 To
500 votes, and the total of Scott and
Mississippi will easily overcome the
lead of Judge Hays in Cape Girardeau
County According to the incomplete
report from Cape County, Judge Hays
defeated his opponent in the county.
by 600 or slightly over that figure.
which was about 400 more votes than
he pOlled here four years ago.
Congressman Joseph !. Russell at
his home in Charleston last night
claimed to have been reelected BY
about 1000 votes over David w. Hill
OF Poplar Bluff. Mr.. Hill. however,
says the returns that reached him last
night indicated that he had carried the
district.
Mr.. Russell said he had carried
Dunklin County by more than 1000
over Hill and had received his usual
lead in all Of the other Democratic
counties. ~T-g
Hill ran better in Cape Girardeau
County than the Democrats had cx-
pected he would, obtaining 4 majority
about twice as large rs was given to
Tom Brown two years ago. Mr.. Hill
said his Butler County vote would
overcome the Russell majority !
Dunlllin County. But as less than one
half Of the counties in the district were
heard from last night, nothing definite
could be obtained.
