PROTECTION IS
 URGED FOR FARMERS

FIT. WORTH, Tex, Oct. 7.-In a memorial to congress issued today entitled "The American Farmer and His Government" H. x. Pope, presi- dent of the Association of State Farmers Union favors protection on all agricultural products, declares that no country can thrive half pro- tectcd and half free, insists that there is no such thing as hyphcnated tariff and asks that cotton be protect cd by l2-cent minimum loan from the government.
 The memorial which goes into an exhaustive, analysis of the subject says in part: "The cotton producer is the only class of farmers who has always been compelled to sell what buy what he consumed on a protected market, and as a consequence the cotton fields of the South have more tenants, more poverty and more sui fering than any other agricultural area on the Western Hemisphere.
 This condition should challenge, but not baffie, American statesman ship. No matter what ones views may be on the government, a policy of protection or of free trade, all will agree that no country can reach its highest degree of prosperity half pro- tected and half free. This country should assist all industrials or none.
 No production or industry can thrive selling in free market and buying in a protected one.
 'Wc have no desire to bring all az ricultural and manufactured products to the level of cotton; we only ask that cotton be lifted to the level of other industries.
 Tt matters not whether the tariff IS levied for protection or for revenue It offers to an industry the same as sistance.
 There is no such thing as a hy- phenated tariff
 "A policy of universal protection is in the interest of the American farm CT for he sells more than he buys
 Protecting the factory without protecting the blow is an unpardon- able discrimination and should not be tolerated by the farmer of the na- ton. Neither should any one agri- cultural product receive protection unless all agricultural products re- ccivc DrOtecfion "

ANOTHER COPPER COMPANY GOES
 INTO ACTION
OLD FIN HOLDINGS NEAR KIRKLAND TO BE REVIVED BY NEW AND CLOSE ORGANIZATION.
(From Sundays Daily.)

The rcviving of the old Stein cop
 pcrs near Kirkland by new corpora
 ton, known as the Lucky Strike Min ing Company, was announced yester- day by miners arriving from Zonia.
 Preliminary operations are under way by a close association composed mainly of Phoenix investors. Among them are J. C. Brown, formerly of the St. Michael hotel, of Prescott, Arthur Luhrs, of the Commercial ho- tel, of Phoenix, Norman H. Morri- son, F. H. Larsen, Dr. Belt, of that city, and N. P. Kayler, who is on the ground as consulting engineer. The new company has a capital stock of only SlO,000. Mir. Brown was m ori- ginal shareholder of the old Stein Company, and individually provided a large sum from his private resources to bring the property into an excel lent rating, before suspension took place. Under the former manage ment the group was extensively ex- plored with several shafts, one reach ing to a depth of l60 feet, another of l0S feet, of S2 feet, and with drifting from each, all workings aggregating over 700 feet. Orc conditions deter mined were satisfactory and in addi- ton to the good grade of copper ores, gold values also were attractive, showing as high as Sc to the ton. Un- der the arrangements perfected for re- viving this copper it is stated that the above operators have paid into the treasury to begin initial operations over S20,000.
 Behind this movement to revive an old copper is said to be the high pro- duction from the Vcsuvius and the groups which adjoin the Lucky Strike, both shipping regularly high grade gold-copper ores.

TUNNE[FOR DUNDEE AND
 VERDE K.

JEROME, Oct. 7-Dundee- is now in the spotlight, its stock hay ing almost doubled in market value within the past week, rising from Sl.5O to S2.75.
 The tip was out last Monday to get aboard but no one knew any particu- lar reason why there should be an advance as there had been no unusual developments at the mine to justify it.
 Now the news comes from New York that a deal has been consum- mated with the Verde Extension for a joint tunnel which will develop both properties. Alexander Mackay, a British capitalist arrived from Europe on Monday and the deal was closed He IS one of the heaviest stockhold- CTS, being associated with Fred s. Stephen who bought the property long before the United Verde Exten- sion made its phenomenal strike on the same fault about 1000 feet north- west of Dundee.
 The Dundee tunnel and shaft have already developed blanket of car bonate ore over the property and a zone of rich conglomcrate ore has been encountered near the surface. The water level was tapped in the shaft at 450 feet and pumps have been install led, and it is believed that the sul- phide zone will be struck at depth of $50 feet.
 The company is capitalized for 500.- 600 shares, par $1, with 5000 shares issued, leaving 75,0OO shares in the treasury with a working capital of $l43. 500. The president is Alexander Mackay of Dundee, Scotland, who is in mining and other enter prises in various parts of the world, while the directors are w. C. Foster, secretary of the Phoenix Savings Bank & Trust Company, Fred s. of Dundee and Phoenix, Charles NJ. Shannon, former owner of the Shannon Copper Company. and L. H. Chalmers, attorney, of Phoenix. J. W. Hubbard, who has been in the Jerome district for 25 years is the superintendent.

 on the morning of Wednesday. Octo- Der II, for the sale of 100000 shares
 of treasury stock at 75 cents. An off cial permit was issued by the corpora ton this week.
 | In order to prevent brokers taking

HOPE TO STRIKE
 EXTENSION U. V. ORE BODY

! JEROME, Oct. Now that the
 mine workings of the Jerome Victor Extension Copper Company have
 been freed from their ovcrburden oi
 water under conditions which prac- tically assure permanent relief from
 that trouble, the work of development is being pushed with three shifts of
 miners. As an insurance against sim liar trouble in the future, however,
 the labor of the big pump on the 700
 foot level IS to be lessened by the i'm
 stalling of 25O-horse power electric pump. There is no question but the
 two pumps will adequately handle the present and any future flow that may be encountered
 The directors of the company, sev- eral of whom are actively identified with the large copper mines of the Lake Superior country, are lending f. nancial and advisory support to the
 Victor Extension management and will supply additional machinery equipment as it is needed. The com pany has about Sl25,0O in its treas ury, accumulated by the sale of its stock at from Sl to s per share, and has placed its property in charge of George w. Salisbury, who for a number of years was member of the engineering staff of the United Verde, adjoining.
 Salisbury is drifting on the 1,2O0- foot level of the Victor Extension with the object of tapping the contin- nation of the United Verde ore bod ies. No. } United Verde shaft has depth of 1850 feet, and it is stated that the laterals on the l,650-foot and l,S00-foot levels have been driven well toward Victor Extension lines. It IS also stated that the United Verde Company will sink its new shaft-to be known as No. 6''-to the cast of the railroad depot at Jerome and in the vicinity of the Victor Extensions boundary. It is to be three-compart mcnt, deep-working shaft and through its medium large area of great pros pective value will be developed

SHORT COURSE
 FOR MINERS OFFERED
(From Saturdays DaIly.1

(From Saturdays Daily)
 The short course for miners at the University of Arizona starts on Octo- Der 3Oth. Last year the short course was initiated upon a new plan-two weeks were devoted to every subject given, each subject relating directly to the one preceding and following it.. This year the arrangement will be somewhat different: last year the first siX weeks were devoted to blowpipc analysis, mincralogy and elementary geology, and 1t was found that almost all students attended the three courses. Hence, this year from Octo- Der Both to December 2nd these three subjects will be given simultaneously. The same applies to field geology, assaying and metallurgy courses, the Notation and the miners courses.
 The object of these courses is to give the working men of the State an opportunity of attending the univer- slty for d short period, in order to get in concentrated form information and training that will enable them to bet ter their own positions. To many of these men practical knowledge has formed the major part of their educa- ton, while the fundamental principles on which their practical work depends is unknown to them. Because d man knows many minerals is precisely the reason why he should take course in mineralogy. Many of our pros-

MOST IMPORTANT MINING DEAL IS
 CONSUMMATED
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The Union group of gold mines il
 Chaparral, held under an escrow
 agreement by D. NJ. Locey for long
 time, were sold yesterday, the pay
 ment of satisfactory sum of money
 to the owner, John s. Jones, being
 made.
 Involved in this deal is very large sum, but the amount is withheld, re- ports being in circulation, however, that approximately S300,0O0 will be the consideration. Under the terms agreed upon, the next payment is due and will be met, under a guarantee from those associated with Mir. Locey on November Is. Thirty days later another sum is to be paid over, while on January 10, several thousand dol lars will be forthcoming.
 It was learned yesterday that some or the wealthiest men of St. Louis, Chicago and other Eastern cities arc to become identified with this huge mining movement Funds will be available for carrying out a very elaborate line of development and the immediate placing in action of new type of reduction plant known as the Harting process, to treat a minimum of 100 tons per day.
 The Union has been extensively de- veloped during the past 20 years. Un- derground workings comprise over 1000 feet, demonstrating one of the most attractive gold properties in the State. During the ownership of Mir. Jones he has met development ex- penses by milling and shipping the higher grade product to smelters, the last batch of ore giving returns of over S20O to the ton. In the group are Is full claims, and it is freely ad- mitted by mining men that this prop erty is the key to the mineral door of that region.
 Mir. Loccy's interest in the district, dating back to several years ago, is due to his knowledge obtained in making many trips of inspection to the Union holdings, acquainting him self with absolute conditions under ground, and in bearing the cost of mining and shipping from different zones.
 The Union is to be turned over at once to the new operators, and NJ. \. who is conversant with conditions in that belt, from his past management of proper ties nearby, will be superintendent During preliminary movements by which the property is to be shaped up and placed in condition for large opcr ations, one of the largest camps in the county will be established.
 Announcement of the sale of the Union yesterday created much com ment in mining circles of this com- munity, Mir. Locey being congratulat- | ed upon bringing the deal to a sue cessful termination.

The discovery was made yesterday that the giant powder storehouse owned jointly by the Bashford-Bur- mister Co. and the Hill Hardware Co.,, situated on the track of the s. F. P. & P. railroad, near the old race track, had been entered by thieves. Not until an inventory is made of the contents, will the loss be known. It is believed that a full wagonload of powder was taken, this supposition being founded on tracks of a wagon being seen near the, building. together with the interior showing indications of having been disturbed. There is no clue to the thieves, and the motive cannot be ascertained for such wholesale cleanup of this commodity.

TOM CAMPBELL MAKES MORE

HUNT ADMINISTRATION EXTRAVAGANT; BUDGET LAW IS URGED AS SO- LUTON OF EXPENSE, IS CANDIDATES VIEW.
Special to the Journal-Miner.

Special to the Journal-Mner.
 BISBEE, Oct. 6.-More like an au- dience which greets lecturer than attends a political rally, the Tom Campbell meeting in Lowell tonight distinguished itself for calm, serious and thoughtful attention. There was not a suggestion to disturb 1t, and short, snappy addresses each met with the same close attention and appreciation.
 Tom Campbell was at his best, in voice and presentation of State issues. When he arose to speak after brief introductory speech by Chairman John Redmond there was spontanc- ous ovation which lasted several min utcs. He referred briefly to the Bis bee meeting of the night before which was packed with disturbers, and said he did not mind what happened. As a boy in Prescott, he said, there were three factions in the little town, in which the boys had to either run, fight or talk, and he said he belonged to all three of them. He talked on State economics and pointed out the extravaganza of the Hunt admins tration, basing his statements on fig ures. A budget law for the State, he said, was the solution of the excessive cost of State government. He said that Hunt takes no interest in the de- partmentS of the State save the penal institution and those under the board of control Speaking of industrial conditions in the State he said that if he is elected governor he will treat all classes, capitalists and laborer, rich and poor, big and small, exactly alike to the end that the people will know that their persons and property are in safe keeping under the admin istration of the State.
 H. E. Matthews was the first speak CT outlining his constructive program for State schools and receiving ire quent applause H. L. Eads, candi- date for congress, spoke forcibly on the Mexican policy and aroused an response of approval from the big audience. George H. Smalley l spoke of the fundamentals of taxation which he pledged he would follow to | the end that all classes of property | would have equal rights and no spec ial privileges would be granted to any class. Normal Mckenzie, joining the | party here, received an ovation lasting live minutes. He expressed in quaint | phrases, with shuffing feet and an radiance of ready Irish wit, his qualifications for mine in spector and kept his audience in an uproar for ten minutes. Doane Mer- Till spoke of the absent candidates and presented J. A. Campbell, who was on the platform, Republican can didate for State treasurer. Camp bell did not speak. J. Harry Cloonan and John L. Gust, the latter joining the party here tonight, spoke; Gust making forccful talk and plcdging the enforcement of the prohibition and all laws.
 
 Campbell and his party spent six hours visiting miners during the day at the Calumet & Arizona mine.
