(From Fridays Daily.)

With between 5 and 40 Russian children of school age among the col ony which recently located on the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Company land below Lake Watson, new coun- ty school will probably be established, according to Justice of the Peace Me Lane who returned from Jerome Junction yesterday
 McLane declared that the newcom- CTS are very desirous of having their children trained in an American school with an American teacher. The justice stated that while he was at the Junction. County Superintendent of Schools w. Curtis Miller was talking the matter over with the leaders of the colony. He understands that the Russians are willing to erect school house immediately and that all they will ask of the county will be the furnishing of teacher.

FACING BETTER FUTURE
 THAN EVER BEFORE (Eror, We,inesdav's naiiy
(From Wednes

An eXemplihcation of what decr mining has determined in another ir- stance in this felI. and which Is oc- casioning more than ordinary interest at the present time. was the state ment made on Monday by Supcrin- tendent DcCamp of the Blue Bell near Mayer. in which he voluntarily mentioned the fact that on the S00- foot level there had been opened up the biggest bodies of copper ore in tne history of that property.
 The driving Of the l.000-foot level is now going on to intersect this con dition. and it is practically assured that this realization is only a matter of carrying out development. The producing ability Of the Blue Bell has now reached 250 tons daily, and ore from the new deposit runs to a grade of six per cent. With the Humboldt plant increased to handle double the capacity that heretofore was treated. the immense ore reserve determined in new workings of the Blue Bell may be weighed with that substantial consideration as to place this copper on a basis of permanency from which there is nothing to anticipate but the making of another desirable property and from which mining operators ot the future may receive the benefits in applying the principle which lies be hind deep development. This method of operating is causing many mines to come to the front and is tnc third notable achievement in recent months where practical effort has been re- warded. in the Little Daisy at Jerome. the Nelson at Crown King. and the Riue Bell. situated midway between the two.

ANOTHER JEROME COPPER

 Through Major A. J.

 The Little Daisy has adopted the Butte sliding scale, and from copper at Is cents up to the present quota tio1 of 244 cents each advance in quotation has been voluntarily and willingly observed in meeting cor responding increase in wage of it's employees. which TOW reaches to 75 cents per shift in certain character of work

LITTLE DAISY IS AGAIN
 MAKING BIG STRIKES
(FIom Fridays Daily.l

Private advices from reliable source in Jerome. brought the im- Dortant news yesterday that the Little Daisy had again made a remarkable strike. or more properly speaking two large ore bodies had been determined on the 1.4O0-foot level. of a grade of native copper and oxidized ore that would run from 5 per cent to as nigh as 52 per cent.
 At two points on this level. north and south drifting entered tne above condition in veins of from five to sever feet, and 1t was also stated there is every indication of both ore bodies widening as drifting goes ahead
 Information of this remarkable showing has been withheld. Among those conversant with underground conditions the showing in evidence is considered as absolute in placing this property in a rating for the future as a bonanza of immense resources and without a parallel insofar as copper values of an exceptionally higa grade are to be considered. This determina- tion on the lowest level proves that the high grade ores on the l,ZOO-foot level are unbroken in depth for 200 feet. and without any further explora- ton being given thousands of tons of high grade copper orc are ready for breaking.
 The strike made some months ago on the 1,200 level is now set aside as of secondary import in the future of this property. as depth proves inco1- powerfully that the immense ore bod ies live and carry their exceptionally nigh values to 200 feet below, and without taking into consideration what future sinking may reveal.
 What effect the last strike in the Daisy may have on the stock market remains to be seen. Ii is now quoted at $650 on the Boston curb. There are many shareholders in Prescott who will be pleased to learn of this latest development.

 He stated yesterday that had there been three dams of the capacity of the above each Of l00C0-acre feet. all would have been filled and overflow ing from the Granite creek source alone. while on Willow creek, | would have required two more dams of like capacity of Lake Watson to have conserved the flow from that drainage division.
 Water continued to flow through the Lake Watson spillway yesterday afternoon 10 a depth of three feet. and with the inflow not reccding 10 any perceptible extent. Lake Watson today IS carrying its maximum depth of over S feet. and will be kept at that elevation that the colonization movement may be carried out in de- veloping lands as outlined. Mir. Cook inham also stated that had the orig inal storage plans Of the company been carried out. in building the dam to a hcighth of l02 feet. the track oi the s. F.. P. & P. at certain points o1 the water front would have been submerged to a depth of 2O feet.

 At tGe head of the Grand canal there are breaks in the riverward bank. extending over an area of more than a mile. These were caused by the river breaking into the canal; the bulkhead. built in the canal below the lowest break prevented this water from flowing itno the City No real harm was done to the Joint Head dam. nor to any of the structures of the Cross-cut power plan and canal.
 The southern canal bank next to the river has been worn thin in much the same manner as that of the Grand canal. only the river mas not pene- trated the canal About Q hundred yards of canal bank has been dam aged.
 Queen creek, while it flooded enthu- siastically day before yesterday, did no more damage than it did a year ago. when 1t sloDDed over in the south consolidated canal system and washed out a few banks and head gates. Dan P. Jones. irrigation super inte1dent in that area reports that tnc damage to the south consolidated, re- sulting from the rampage of Queen creek. can be repaired at a cost oi slightly over S200. The creek has oi course. cut communication by motor car. for the State highway south oi Higley is of such material that water renders it most loving toward tires. even though they be covered with chains.
 Conditions at Granite Reef were most encouraging. Atsthc time the engineers visited the place. there was a flood of 6.2 feet of water curling over the dam. This was at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

The road to Roosevelt is. believe. the most seriously damaged The Fish creek bridge has been weak ened. but is still spanning the stream. In the canyon below the dam, the roadway is under several feet of water. and it will be impossible to tell now badly it is washed out until the flood subsidies.
 Communication between Fish creek and the dam must be by means of horses. via the old mountain trails, for some days. maybe weeks

 The Consolidated Arizona Smel:- :, C1 -.,,,I.o- ,,I ,,,,,,ae ;, t1,o Blue Bell and DeSoto are attaining great depth and disclose in each new copper propositions that are daily producing handsomely.
 The Nelson Mining Go. mas prob ably solved the greatest mineral prob lem in the Bradshaw field. in develop ing what is destined 10 be a heavy gold producer, and which has as teunding possibilities. The War Eagle Gladiator likewise is proven to great depth.
 "Tne Hayden Development Go. has placed a 150-ton plant on their Copper Chief. in the Jerome belt. and ore re serves are estimated at over 350G00 tons. The values are gold in a dis tinctive copper condition.
 The United Verde Extension Co. at Jerome, at depth of l.2OO feet is producing a grade of oXidized ore that carries copper values of over 49 ger cent, and is shipping daily.
 The United Verde is supplying its smelter at Clarkdale. according to re ports made. with over 1000 tons per day.
 "The above properties are singled out of a field that shows a wide distri- button of mineral resources. which, believe is without corresponding re- lation anywhere ir Western mining in the United States.
