pretty girl of the brunette type, swal lowed quantity of ant paste.
 While scores of happy boys ana girls were passing the receiving hos pital at First and Hill streets on their way to the opening session of school Miss Young was being given anti dotes by the police surgeons.
 The girl was graduated from gram mar school at the end of the term in June and was certified to High school Several times recently sine told her mother that she would rather not continue her studies.
 After having eaten her breakfast, the girl informed her mother that she had decided not to go to school.
 "Nonsense,' said Mrs. Young. This is the opening day of school. After you have attended school for few days you will get over the idea of not wanting to go.'
 Without word Miss Young left the room. A few minutes later her mother heard her grooming in a bed room.
 T am sick" said the girl. q am not going to school today. I would rath- CT die than go"
 The mother was insistent. She thought that the girl was feigning illness, and announced that such ex- cuses would be unavailing.
 But I am sick" insisted the girl. "I am going to die. never will go to school any more. l have taken poisonr'
 Frightened, Mrs. Young made an investigation and found that the girl had swallowed a quantity of ant paste While the frantic mother was telephoning for the police ambulance, the girl became violently i'll and al- most lapsed into inconsistencies be- fore she could be taken to the rccciv- ing hospital and pumped out.

DETERMINES BIG ORE
 BODIES IN NEW SHAFT
(From Thursdays Daily. !


 The strike made a few months ago in the New State mine of Hassayampa district, has been fully determined by connections made in work performed from the tunnel zone to the shaft by bringing both points into a relation from which operations are to begin at once on large scale. The ore bodies exposed show permanency beyond any doubt whatever.
 The original strike occurred in ex- tending the old tunnel, at a point un- der the main shaft, but foul air pre- vented further exploration until an upraise was made. This was accom- plished few days ago, and according to a report made yesterday by J. R. Slack, a miner, the showing is re- markable for the extensive ore bodies determined. Mir Slack states that the cross-cut from the tunnel has opened two veins of ore, each three feet wide, while in the shaft a l6-inch vein is exposed. The values are solely gold, and not an assay shows less than SS0 to the ton. The mine is now well ventilated by the connections made and future development will now go ahead under favorable conditions. The showing is so encouraging to the Maricopa Queen Oil Company, that the placing of a new operating plant on the Elk claim, which adjoins, has been decided upon that exploration of the entire Assure, including also the

(FIom Thursdays Daily.)

Plenty of fun and amusement will be on hand in Prescott during the three days festival of the Northern Arizona Fair. The race track pro- gram has been decided upon and this alone assures the many who will at tend the fair an unusual and attractive line of events.

 The concessions committee is con sidering bringing to Prescott some unusual attraction which will appeal to everyone and be of sufficient draw ing power to attract the residents Of the entire northern counties. A first class carnival company will probably be signed for within the next few days and these events, together with plenty of good music and dancing, make it q certainty that there will not be an idle moment during the entire cclebra- ton.

 Green Monster Active.
 The Green Monster plans to sink two l5O-foot shafts on the Amazon and Missouri claims as soon as addi- tional accommodations for larga force of men are completed. The points at which the shafts will be sunk have already been chosen from surface indications. The George tun- mel on the Cliff claim has been clean ed out and track laid to the elbow about 800 feet in. Two cross-cuts are being cut on the Revenue tunnel, and indications are reported to be un- usually favorable.
 Arrangements have been completed whereby the ore from the Commercial copper mine. in Copper Basin, will again be treated at the Clarkdale smelter. During the lull in shipping for the last two months, a small force of men has been working at the Com mercial, and several thousand tons cf ore are now ready to be sent to the shelter. Recent development, it IS said, has resulted in determining tho best and biggest ore bodies in the h;s- tory of the Commercials operations.
 South of the Commercial, work on the C. B. s. copper group is progress ing favOrably. The shaft has been sunk to a depth of 175 feet. The ob- jective point IS POO feet, and when this IS reached plan of action will be decided upon by the owner of the group.
 Little Jessie to Resume.
 The Little Jessie, one of the most famous gold mines in the county. situated in the Chaparral district, is ready to resume operations. Several months ago work of unwatering the old levels to the $50 was started. Ore conditions in the upper levels hare been found satisfactory and further development was decided upon sev- eral days ago. The 650-foot shalt will be unwatered, and cleaned up. m order that observations may be made from that po1nt The Little Jessie is being revived by syndicate of Ohio men who arc determined that the mine shall be given every chance to assume its former place among the gold properties of Yavapai.

.YAVAPA| MINES ARE PROVING
 OF MERIT
ADVANCE IN PRICE OF LITTLE DAISY STOCK INDICATES WORTH OF JEROME PROPERTIES.
(By William P. De Wolf0

To the layman the mining game is
 one filled with sensations. Since the
 memorable days of '49 when the lure
 of gold drew many sturdy Fastener
 across the plains or around The
 Horn to California, a great many peo-
 pie have looked on the man who
 opened up T mine, no matter what kind, as an adventurer,-a man who was fighting a losing game for the one, long chance. This was true in a great many cases in the early Cali fornia days, but now there is too much competition among the mining men, and this struggle for the big orc bodies that are still untapped has resulted in the placing of mining among the big industries of the world it is no longer game of chance but an industry that, although compara- lively in its infancy in Arizona, ranks far above all others and is increasing by leaps and bounds.
 But the sensations still remain. Biz strikes are being made daily and are holding the interest of the public There is another kind of sensation in the mining game, however, that holds the center of the stage; that is the big producer that springs into the limc- light almost over night, and then pro ceeds to remain there. Such mine is the United Verde Extension. Dur ing the last few days stock in this property has advanced steadily until, at the present writing, it is selling around S43 per share The principal thing about the remarkable rise in the price of Little Daisy" stock, however, is the fact that it has proven beyond the slightest doubt that tn, Jerome field is destined to become the greatest copper producing region in Arizona.
 It is rich field, every engineer who has looked it over admits this. It Is a field of opportunity, also, for there are scores of properties that have been left almost untouched. But these properties arc rapidly being taken over and developed. On some of them orc has not been encountered as soon as had been hoped for, but nevertheless every operator knows that the ore is there and that although t may be greater depth than in oth- ,r fields it runs high in values and is worth seeking.

Verde Apex Meeting.

A meeting of stockholders of the Verde Apex, the controlling interes. of which was recently taken over by Prescott mining men, will be held in Phoenix, September 18th. At this time plans will be made to start operations on the property on the largest scale in its history. Lying in the Jerome field, and intcrmingling with the Ven ture Hill property, the Verde Apex is looked upon as one of the most prom ising mines in the field and its new controllers plan to rush the work as soon as a definite plan of develop ment is decided upon.
 With the work of unwatering the shaft of the Arkansas & Arizona cou,- pleted, engineers who haxe examined the property are formulating plans with the officers of the company to again place the A. & A. in the produc- ing class. Operations will be started

Most Producing Mines.

Although the Jerome district is at
 tracting more attention than any oth
 CT section of the county, the mines of
 Yavapai are not confined to that one district. The latest official govern ment reports show that Yavapai has
 l07 producing mines, more than any other county in Arizona. Its nearest rivals are Cochise, with e, and Yuma, with So Of these producers many are mines that were abandoned years ago when the slump in the price of metals discouraged many an operator in the Southwest. It is probable that more old mines have been reopened and proven of merit in Yavapai than in any other county.
 One of these old properties, now being placed in readiness for the re suming of operations, is the Johnson gold mine. near Weaver. Since the death of its original owner many years ago, the Johnson has never been extensively operated, although from its proximity to Rich Hill miu- ing men have contended that, from the strong indications of its quartz 1t was reasonable to believe that the mother lode of that belt passed through the property. The | old workings are to be placed in con iition at once, and the Johnson is cx- 'ected to be in the hands of operators rom the coast within a short time.

Play writing aspirants should read
A Book About the Theatre by BRANpER
MATTHEWS (S%cribners). from which
they may learn how imperative is the
need OF acquired craft" to direct the
unquestioned natural gift" Mr..
Matthews. whose Columbia professor
ship in dramatic literature was the
nrst to be established In an American
university. makes his criticism scien-
tifc by citing cases in support OF all
his theories. He calls the drama the
''noblest Of the arts" and treats II
with the serious thoughtfulness such a
subject demands: but his essays are
human" not PROFESSIONAL.
The critical remarks OF Professor
Matthews strike home because they put
into decent. finished literary form the
u%nphrased criticisms of the persons
to whom art must be addressed. In
his keen comment on the rivalry be-
tween spectacle and drama, on the
shortcomings Of reading plays. and
ingenious stage devices to produce
realistic effects he is peculiarly pleas
ing in this respect.
when Marmontel's forgotten tragedy
Cleopatra" was produced in the eigh-
tseneh century At the Theatre Francois,
the misguided poet prevailed upon vau-
canson to mako an artificial asp. which
the Egyptian queen coiied about her arm
at tho end of the play. thereby releasing
. spring. whereupon the beast raised It's
head angrily and emitted q shrill hiss be-
fore sinking It's fanss into CIsopsfrs's flesh.
At the hrst performance . spectator. bored
by the tediousness of the tragedy, rose 10
his feet when he heard the hiss OF the
tiny serpent Il agree with the asp he
cried. as he made his way to the door.
With such illustrations the truth will
be made clearer II cannot be made
clear at all-in a manner that will
regulate the conduct of playwrights
by convincing them that the theatre
is often more powerful when II sug-
gests than when It presents action.
But Mr.. Matthews lays down no hard
and fast rule: he does not 80 to
extremes.
He writes of pantomime, Of Tho
Ideal Of tho Acrobat" 1.-THE Utility of
the Variety Show" OF puppet plays.
There are chapters on the dance and
the opera: on dramatized novels and
novelized plays; on play construction.
on scene painting. and on women as
