GOLD VALUES ID BE FOUND IN
 JEROME
Veteran Prospector And Oth- CT Mining Men Of The Dis trict Think That Camp May Produce Great Property

JEROME, Ariz, April 29.-Jerome has long been famous for her copper; she may awake any morning to ind herself famous for her gold.
 Another Oatman may spread up six miles west of the camp, in the upper end of the Jerome mineral belt. A big strike may be made in that re zion any moment The existence of much gold ore tharis very rich. has already been proved there.
 Any mining man or geologist will say that where there is an area seven miles long by ,three-ouarters of mile wide .criss-crossed by iron dikes and quartz lodges. and where practi- cally every piece of rock picked up from the surface carries gold values, there must be mine.
 Few who have examined the "gold end fthe Jerome Belt doubt that gold mining districts in the world. It is all matter of prospecting in the right place.
 Twelve years ago there was small stampede to this district. Pockets of immensely rich gold ore was found right on the surface. One pocket ran g" 100 to the ton.
 These pockets were white quartz and the values did not go down. The excitement soon died. Subsequent searchers continued to look for gold in white quartz.
 One of the most persistent search CTS was David Goodwin. who punched hurros with Senator WA. Clark own CT of the United Verde mine. when the two were Montana prospectors. near " half century ago. Goodwin has for nearly half century been employ. ed as an engineer at the United Verde but he has spent all his spare time prospecting in the Jerome gold coun- try.
 Goodwin finally became convinced that the real gold values were not in white quartz. but in the blue quart zi,es and other formations. Nothing was ever found in white quartz eXcept a few very rich pockets, but all the other rocks carried gold values. which if low. were highly encouraging.
 Acting upon the advice of Goodwin,

 Members of the commission are planning extensive work next season and expect that many miles of track will be laid before winter closes. The completion of the work planned will take an immense sum for material and supplies.
 Seward advices say that the engi- neering commission has outlined plans that will require the expendi- ture of between $10,000,000 and $11,000, ,000 next year. The commis- sion will ask the Secretary of the Interior to include a sum exceeding S10,000,000 for the Alaskan railroad in the budget submitted to Congress.

Roosevelt probably worked more effectively against Hughes than any Wilson man. He turned many Pro- gressives against the Republicans and turned many peace lovers to- wards the Democrats. It is funny thing that a supporter may be the greatest enemy. Wilson some time ago asked Colonel Harvey as favor not to support his candidacy and if Hughes had good political sense he would have made the same request of the terrible Teddy. It is funny that apparent support is often taken at it's face value. The usual run of poli- ticians seem to have no conception of the power of subtlety. How often we hear paper coming out to tell us i've are for This and That" just as though anyone cared a continental whether it was or not. Politicians and papers are often big babies. The baby screams when it wants some- thing and SO do its adult prototypes. It never seems to enter their heads that a false move or a careless state ment by supporter does more dam age than all the attacks of the known opponent.-Ex.

E. D. Reiter, manager of the Alas ka Mines Corporation, states that he will make a shipment of 250 to 300 tons of ore from the mine of the Con- pany at Fidalgo bay, on the steam ship Admiral Evans. He states that this is the last shipment he will make, as he has disposed of his in- terest in the Company and will here after devote himself exclusively to the development of the Granite Ex- tension at Port Wells, which he re- gently acquired.

COPPER MINES CONSOLIDATED
CAPITAL STOCK IS INCREASED
Mother Lode and Wallace Properties Near Kennecott Combine and Cap ital Is Raised to $7,5OO,OOO- Bonds Underwritten.

SEATTLE, Nov. 13.-The largest copper deal since the reorganization of the Kennecott Copper Corporation is announced here today. The Mother Lode Copper mines, known as one of the richest in the world and sec ond only in the richness and extent of its ore bodies to the famous Bo- nanza mine at Kennecott, Alaska, has combined with the Wallace claims ad joining, and the capital stock of the new corporation has been raised to seven and one-half million dol lars. These properties are near the Bonanza mine at Kennecott and have been good producers, but have been handicapped by the fact that the ore has to be hauled distance of about 12 miles to reach the railroad at Mo Carthy. This is possible only in the winter months over a snow trail.
 First mortgage bonds to the extent of one million dollars have been un- derwritten in New York by promi- nent bank, and the company is suffi- ciently we'll financed to go ahead with production on a large scale, and will probably build branch railroad line from the mine to the Copper River & Northwestern railroad at Mo Carthy.
 James J. Godfrey, a former Valdez lawyer and the first mining recorder in the Copper River district, is the President of the new corporation.

JOHNS LOSING GAME.

Farmer John is hunting round for tools most all the while, a-hunting for a pitman bar or searching for a file. He is so lax he lost his axe and cannot find the saw; he ran acrost a blow he'd lost and cracked his low CT jaw. Both high and low for grub ping hoe he searches hours away, as for his hat he loses that a dozen times day.
 His spade or pick this careless flick can very seldom find, he's lost his rule and scraping tool that peels the porkers' rind. He lost the spade while in the shade; the shovel in the sun; I'm thinking now he'll lose his blow before the breaking's done.
 I heard him say the other day, "I laid my gloves right there and placed my wrench right on this bench and now they've vanished! Where?" We looked around upon the ground and peeked up in the trees and found the things down in the bins where barley ought to be! And sure's you're born he lost the corn that he had rsaved for seed, and too. some rope and other dope that he is sure to need.
 But say you know his wife can gc and pick up this or that; which goes to show she always knows just where his things are at. All through life his trusty wife keeps track of all his things. he's often said he'd lose his head if twern't for her, by jinks; but every day he whiles away costly hours or three, a losing ground a hunting round for things he's lost, you sec Exchange.

FATALITY IN A WORD.
Why France Changed the Name of the
 "LRs Saving Belt"

Why France Changed the Name of the
 "LRs Saving Belt"
 A vivid illustration of the power of mere words over human beings was once brought to the attention of French people by Francisque Sarcey.
 After the wreck of the Bourgogne many passengers were found floating drowned with life preservers on. These life preservers were fastened upon the bodies, but round the middle instead of under the arms. and the greater weight of the upper part of the body had tipped the head under water and the person of course was inevitably drowned.
 Now 1t appears that the greater num- Der of the persons so drowned were French. The French term for life pre- server is ceinture de sauvetage, or life saving belt" This word ceinture sug- gests to the mind in It's moments of disorder and unreadiness. such as a great catastrophe brings, the idea of putting on a belt, and as belt is put round the waist and nowhere else the frightened person instinctively adjusts the life preserver close about the hips.
 The result Is that as soon as the person so provided falls into the water his body tips over, with the heavier part downward, and the head is plung. ed beneath the surface.
 The word "belt," therefore, was the cause of the loss of many lives in the Bourgogne disaster. Sarcey according ly proposed to counteract the fatal ef- feet of the French word by remaining the article and calling it brassiere. which is a kind of waist, and by bring Ing the word bras, or arm, to mind to teach people to put life preserver on just underneath the arms.
