Special Correspondence.
 JEROME, June 16.-LeRoy Ander- son, attorney from Prescott and Re publican leader in Northern Arizona, is in the city and with him he brought very optimistic frame of mind, to- wit; He sees every indication that the entire Progressive party and most of the leaders, at least, are coming out strong for Hughes with the result that 19l6 will see a reunited Republi- can party.
 "I am very pleased" said Mir. An derson, with the vigorous manner in which Hughes has taken up the issues and jumped in the presidential cam paign. Hughes is American in every way. We do not want a partisan, un- American candidate on the Republi- can ticket-and Hughes certainly is not partisan 10 any un-American prin- ciple.
 The splendid thing I saw of the Republican convention" continued the attorney, lis that its leaders had the courage to have their meeting prior to the Democratic convention in St. Louis. The Republicans met first and have taken positive stand on all na- tional, American principles. The Re publicans have the administration on fine defensive.

ter at Clarkdale. which is to say the mine is now outputting about 5000 tons of copper ore daily.
 Shaping Up Mine.
 Superintendent George w. Sails bury of the Jerome-Victor Extension Copper Company, has about complet ed unwatering the mine workings, and concurrently with the news to that effect the demand for the company's shares increased locally. Salisbury mas not as yet definitely determined just what he will do in the way of development work, but so far as his plans have taken shape they contem- plate the lowering of the present shaft from a depth of l,225 feet to an approximate depth of 1,700 feet Sal isbury is well acquainted with the ore dispositions at Jerome, having form crly been member of the engineer ing staff of the United Verde com pany His connection with the Je- rome-Victor Extension may be view ed as a company asset as he brings to the development of the estate the knowledge of ore occurrencies and the practical experience gained under ground in the United Verde.
 Shafts Contiguous.
 The United Verde shaft is located within 600 feet of the Jerome-Victor Extension shaft. and it is reported that the ore body on the l.500 level of the first mentioned has been stop cd to the Victor Extension boundary line. It is also stated that the Victor Extension shaft was carrying string CTS of per cent copper ore on the lower levels at the time the former owner-Hayes Copper Company - was forced to close the mine owing to a lack Of funds. One of the first acts of Superintendent Salisbury will be to determine the truth of these re- ports.
 Arkansas & Arizona Deal.
 IL is reported here that the some time pending deal has been closed for the passing of the control of the Ar kansas & Arizona Copper Company to the Goodrich-Lockhart people, O. New York City. and that the latter have taken possession of the mine holdings and books. The deal, as ratified, provides for the payment to the Goodrich-Lockhart people of 2,- 00C00 shares of Arkansas & Arizona for the properties of the Movies Cop per Company. and a years option on l.500,000 additional shares at 25 cents per share. Reports from Jerome are to the effect that development work is immediately to be resumed on the A. & A. holdings, and that the people Of the camp are Of the opinion that resumption of operations will be at tended by mining success. The pco- pie of Jerome also believe the work on Arkansas & Arizona ground will have an important bearing on the fu- ture development of Jerome-Victor Extension ground, as the properties practically adjoin.

Huqhes Is Real American
 In Principle, Says Anderson
Prescott Attorney Visiting Jerome Gives Political Views; Suggests Hotel And
 Club For Yavapai Mining Town.

"The platform framed at St Louis this week." said MT. Anderson, Twill not only be on the defensive but it will be an apology for the things the administration has not accomplished. The Democratic platform, I believe, will not stand for anything definite. ,
 Mir. Anderson, who is interested in mining in this section through clients, said: ''The mining situation about Jerome is certainly on the boom. Business here is equally good. Every day I have been in Jerome this week, I have seen a carload of beds being transported on the streets.
 However. there is one thing Je- rome needs" added Mir. Anderson. That is for bunch of good fellows to get together and get an up-to-date hotel established in the town. At present there is no first class place for men from the outside to get ac' commodationS. A hotel like the Cop per Queen at Bisbee is exactly what the mining city of Jerome needs.
 What the citizens of Jerome need,'' concluded the attorney, ''is a first class, up-to-date club like the Yavapai in Prescott. The first consideration, though, should be accommodations for the stranger. I believe that the hotel proposition in Jerome is worthy of attention"
