BUYS VERDE EX; GETS SICK AND WAKES TO
 FIND HIMSELF RICH
Michigan Man Bought Arizo- na Stock. He Worried Him. self Sick; Finally Awaken ed to Find Stock Valuable

Here is one popular United Verde Extension story" says the Michigan Mining Gazette. A man in Ontonagon county, named George Richelson, re- ceived S400 from an estate settlement. On his way to the bank he met a friend who told him that Will Stand ard, former representative in the Michigan legislature from Ontonagon county. now Paine, Webber and com pany's manager at Calumet, had a straight tip on the stock market. IL was a tip to buy United Verde EXten- sion. The stock sold for s4, the 100 shares were purchased and that night the man worried so much about the possible loss of his money that he be came ill He became delirious. Ty- phoid fever, then brain fever followed For the greater part of two months the man was unconscious. When he dld come to his first inquiry was regard ing United Verde Extension. That very morning it struck S25. When the man was told he relapsed into another season of unconsciousness. Wagers now are offered as to the market value of his investment when next he reaches state of mental equilibrium and what will happen to him if he never wakes up.

Fine Healthy Child
 Convincing Evidence
Simple Inexpensive Remedy Checks Early Tendency to
 Constipation.

About the first thing impressed on the young Mother is the necessity for regularity in her baby, which brings up the question of the most desirable laxative for children's use.
 Mrs. Jesse Richardson, Philpot, Ky, says she has used Dr. Caldwell's Syr- up Pepsin for the past year and that there is no medicine in the world like it. She writes, My little son, William, IT,, just loved it because it is so pleas ant to take, and everybody talks about his being such fine healthy boy"
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a compound of simple laxative herbs, tree from any opiate or narcotic drug. and is the standard remedy for con stipation in thousands of homes throughout the land Drug Stores everywhere sell it for fifty cents bot tie.

 A Handful of Coppers.
 Twenty-three dry tons of copper OK ides shipped recently from the Copper Hill property in Copper Basin to the shelter at Hayden, netted the owners S3S3.0O. or within a few cents of SIG per ton. Other shipments will go for ward to smelter from the property at regular intervals. A tthe same time the shaft will be deepened with the the object of blocking out ore in the permanent, or sulphide zone.
 The McNulty & Mcbride group of copper claims carries a disseminated porphyry. surrounded on three sides. by granite and on the fourth by dio- tite The belt (which the group is a part is about by 2k miles in eX- tent, wit hconnectins necks of porphy- ry extending through to the copper bearing monzonite and rhyolite in Copper Basin. In the latter section are located the Sink-to-Rise and Clip per groups. The showing on the two latter, as well as on the McNulty- Me Bride holdings, is sufficiently encour- aging to warrant the development work now being done and the more extensive work that is 10 be done in the near future.
 A deposit of ore carrying gold, sil- yer, copper. lead and zinc is being de- veloped to advantage on the Joe group adjoining the McNuliy-McBride pro- perty. The. ore prevails in a spur vein of the main porphyry belt and has a value of S4S.00 per ton in gold and silver alone. Ii is being sacked for

Grand Island.

There is an excellent chance that the development of the Grand Island group adjoining the Shea on the south. will be resumed shortly. This group consists of thirteen patented claims. with a surface showing simi- lar to that of the Copper Chief and Shea shaft down 200 rect is equip ped with a hoist good for 500 or 700 feet At the surface the values are gold but copper begins to come in at so feet and at 8 feet the shaft enters a three fcot body of sulphide
 A crosscut had been started from the bottom of the shaft several years ago when the principal owner killed man and was sent to the penitentia- .ry. Through the efforts of James NJ. Layman the legal complications were cleared up and it is understood that the company may soon be financed for resumption of operations.

COPPER BASIN SCENE
 OF BIG SUMMER PLANS
(Continued From Page one ]

(Continued From Page One.) c the time of the subterraneans disturb ance was doubtless sulphide in char acter. Old Man Time, working with the alchemy of the clements, has me tamorphosed the sulphides into o--. ides. At point near the north side line of the Rob Roy claim of he Loma Prieta estate the Commercial people have, however. entered what appears to be a permanent deposit of copper sulphides.
 Proof of Permanency.
 The highly enriched body Of chalco- pyrite ore disclosed in the Lonla Prie- la shaft is probably the apex of an immense shoot of copper sulphides- Many mining men believe ii to be the main ore body from which Copper Basin and the surrounding territory lc ceived enrichment. They contend that this ere body may be accepted as posi- tive proof of the permanency of the Copper Basin district and of the in- vestment worth of the property on which it IS located. CSlcopyrite ore was. first encountered Nn the Loma Prieta shaft al depth of S6 feet Al a depth of 1O5 feet the bottom and the sides of the shaft are filled with ore. Between the S5-foot and the 105-fcot
 points crosscuts have been driven each way in the ore length for 25 feet, measuring the width of the shaft, without disclosing the walls of tho deposit
 The low grade ore carrles an aver age of 4 per cent copper to the ton. The high gade varies in its copper content from 19.7 to a shigh as A per cent 10 the ton. Ii carries about 2S per cent in sulphur, about the same per cent in iron. as high as $500 in gold and from to 10 ounces in sIlveI to the ton.
 Other Ore Channels.
 Plans are nearing completion for the development of the Schruber group of 19 claims adjoining the Loma Prieta property to the north and the east. The acreage carries an ore channel parallel to the main copper ore chan nel disclosed on the Loma Prieta. with values ranging on a parity with the last mentioned. The Schruber ore shows both copper sulpbides and cop per oxides in quantities apparently in place. The presence of chalcopyrite is as persistent and and noticeable as on the Loma Prieta property, ad- joining Henry Livcsey and assocla-es who hold the Schruber group under op- tion, will begin to work before the close fthe current month. Machinery is to be installed and the property de yeloped 10 the point of ore shipments with all the dispatch compatable with

preliminary geological work for the company and it is probable that James Wellington Finch will be employed to make detailed examination and map out a plan of development.
 Pending MT. Finch's report the ten tative plan of development is to sink shafts on the Cliff. Green Monster ana Brookshire claims. then to sink a working shaft at the most advan.d- geous point.
 The Green Monster is combina- ton of the Cliff, Brookshire and Clark Hopkins groups Altogether there are g patented claims and q

Before the Green Monster com pany was formed about half a mil lion dollars was spent for 6,000 feet of work or the three groups, in the way of shafts. drifts and winzes. The deepest working is a 500-foot shaft on the Cliff group. much ore TunnlnS around three per cent copper is found near the surface of the Brookshire group There are many omcroppings of sulphide At one point, near the Copper Chief line. carbonates carry ing gold values are found on the sur face.
 The famous north fault of the Je- rome district cuts through Green Mon ster ground. At the fault there is a ledge of porphyry. schist and iron, 90 10 100 feet wide. It is on this same fault that the United Verde extension opened it's phenomenal ore body. Sam pies running nigh in copper have been picked up along the fault on the Green Monster estate.

"DRYS" WIN THIRD VICTORY
NO LOCAL OPTION ELECTION
Mandamus Asked by "Wets" Denied
BY Supreme Conrt-Court
Unanimous In Opinion.

The supreme court has settled the
fact that there will be no election this
year upon the question of local option
for Shiawassee county-and this may
mean for many years as state wide
prohibition may do away with county
elections on the liquor question. The
court was unanimous in denying the
mandamus asked by representatives
of the liquor interests to compel the
supervisors to meet and rescind the
action at the January session in
throwing out the two petitions from
New Haven township and the four
presented from the fifth ward of
Owosso, to count the names on one pc
tition from each, which would leave
sufficient number Of signers, and to
call the election. The court decision
sustains the opinion given the super
visors by Prosecuting Attorney Pulver
to the effect that but one petition can
be presented from precinct and that
when more are filed all from the pre-
cinct are void. Thus the action of the
special committee of the board of su-
pervisors is proven to be in exact ac-
cord with the law and the vote of the
board refusing to call the election is
approved.
The "dry" forces of the county are
greatly pleased with the decision of
the court and are warm in their ap-
proval of the manner in which the
supervisors and Prosecuting Attorney
Pulver handled the matter. Credit is
also given R. ID. Matthews, of this
city, who apepared as the attorney
of the Anti-Saloon League before the
board. 1t is the third victory of the
Anti-Saloon forces of the county with
in five months.

Enters Government Service.

Irving L. Woodin, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. M. Woodin, of this city, has
been rendered and accepted a position
in the division of markets of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture and
will enter upon his duties in about
two weeks. The appointment is the
result Of a civil service examination
several months ago, taken upon the
request of parties connected with the
government service who knew some
thing of Mr.. Woodin s work with the
North American Fruit Exchange and
his capabilities along several lines of
work which the Department is doing.
Mr.. Woodin, who has been located in
New York City for some time past,
resigned his position with the Fruit
Exchange and is now in Washington
in conference with the chief of the
market division. 1t has been init
mated to him that he will probably be
stationed at Chicago. Mrs. Woodin
will be the guest part of next week of
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. M. Woodin and Irv-
ing will probably spend few days
at home before taking up active work.
The Times extends congratulations to
Mr.. Woodin upon his good fortune and
has confidence that he will prove an
excellent official-at least, he made
good while student in the Owosso
schools, as a rural carrier on one of
the Owosso routes, as student during
his four year course in the Michigan
Agricultural College and in each posi-
tion he has had since, resigning each
to 90 into something better.

ENROLMENT At PRIMARY

Provided For In New Law-Each
Voter Must Announce His Party.
The new election law enacted az an
amendment to the primary law of 1909
contains several important provisions.
Instead of blanket sheet such as was
required in the old law, sometimes 80
large and complex as to be exceedingly
awkward. and hard to vote because ir
was hard to understand, the new law
provides for separate ballots for each
party. The registered elector asks for
ballot Of such party as he wishes.
His name and party and the number Of
the ballot are thereupon recorded by
the election board. He takes his ballot
and goes into the booth and marks it in
the same manner as on any primary
election ballot placing q cross before
the name Of each candidate for whom
ne desires to vote, or he may insert the
name of some other person not on the
ballot provided he does not insert the
name of any person on some other bal
lot, but such person 30 voted for shall
not be deemed nominated unless he
shall receive at least five per cent of
the vote of his party at that election.
For illustration, suppose that the
Democratic party were thoroughly
satisfied with the probable nominee of
the Republican party for county office
and should fail to put any one forward
at the primaries and that some one
voter cast single vote for some person
that vote does not count unless enough
others vote in the same manner to make
one twentieth of the votes cast st that
election for that party.
The poll book of the voters for each
party seems to constitute the enroll.

and dancing.
General Manager A. W. Towsley pre-
sided, introducing George Bradshaw,
of Toronto, Ont, safety engineer of
the Grand Trunk Railroad, who illus
trated his lecture with stereopticon
slides, showing practices that should be
avoided, and impressed wonderfully on
the minds of the men how carless ac-
tions by the various employees result
in deaths, injuries and damage to prop.

earlier years, Uttered with rubbish,
glass, boards, iron and other things,
not only unsightly but dangerous, were
shown in present conditions and ap-
pealed to those present as ample re.

Reo's Win.

The big indoor base ball game of the
season was played Monday evening at
the Odd Fellow temple when the Reo's
of Lansing defeated the American Nal
leables team of this city 9 to 5. The
Lansing crowd came on two special
interurban cars accompanied by their
band and almost every conceivable
kind of noise making instrument, and
they worked them to finish except for
few innings when their team seemed
hopelessly 5eaten.
Up to the eighth inning the game
was all Owosso's way but the Owosso
pitcher Brown, gave out and in the
eighth and ninth the visitors scored 8
runs winning to 5.
The attendance was about 800.
