GLENDALE HEARS
 REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES

l GLENDALE, Ariz., Sept. 26. - Speaking before the largest gathering of representative citizens ever assem- bled here for political meeting, Hon. J. H. Kibbey, Republican candidate for United States senator, Tom Campbell, Republican candidate for governor, and the other members of the State ticket forcibly drove home convincing arguments in favor of a permanent and constructive govern ment of Arizona's affairs.
 It was a banner meeting. Intense enthusiasm was at all times in evi- dence as some glaring examples of the inefficiency of the Democratic ad- ministration was told. Every time a charge was made the big audience would applaud most vigorously. And this too, in what has always been considered a Democratic stronghold!
 Tom Campbell branded the admin istration in the State as "extrava- gant," as inefficient and declared that it has failed to make good" Speaking of his position on the indus trial question he said:
 ''I will be fair with labor-fair with capital, but firm with both" Continu- ing he said: 'It is square deal that the people need. Not a 6O-4O break but an administration that believes and practices equity.
 For the past two years I have been earnestly and thoroughly studying conditions in the State to see just what was wrong. I determined that the trouble was not an entirely eco homie one, but that it was, in large measure, due to mis- administration of the States affairs
 In conclusion he told the audience that Governor Hunt knew practically nothing about the question of taxation and that the chief executive had held but one meeting with the members of the tax commission during the two years Campbell has been in office
 Governor Kibbey briefly reviewed his long career of public usefulness in behalf of the people of Arizona and told of his long-fought legal fight to protect the water rights of farmers here in the valley.

sible for any but a verdict of not guilty to follow. We all believe that Mir. Clark and the attorneys associat- ed with him are just about as good as any in the State and we also appreci- ate the fact that the people of North ern Arizona, those who knew the real facts in the case, have stood by us since the start"
 The climax in the trial came late yesterday afternoon, when Superin- tendent Runke was arrested by Unit ed States Marshal Joe Dillon on a charge of perjury. Runke was imme- diately released on $2,0OO bonds. The charge, it is said, is the result of a slight discrepancy in the testimony of Runke regarding the wording of a letter written by him to Robertson and the actual wording of the letter. Runke testified regarding the letter Thursday and said he had made a correction in it. His testimony re- garding the letter, it is said, differed from the actual wording of the orig inal and the corrections. Runke's at torneys last night declared that the charge was absurd. Runke will not be tried on the charge in Prescott, the court having concluded its Sep tember term here last night.

EO SHUMATE IS PRESIDENT 0F
 VERDE APEX
OFFICERS ELECTED AT MEETING IN PHOENIX THURSDAY; ITO OPEN SUB SCRIPTION BOOKS SOON
(From Saturdays Daily)

Following the election of officers of
 the Verde Apex Mining Company in
 Phoenix Thursday afternoon, Presi- dent Ed. Shumate announced the com pany's acceptance of the plan of En- gineer John s. Reilley of the Venture Hill concern, to join issues in sinking large double-compartment shaft, to open up the ore of the two companies.
 A wire received from Mir. Reilly an- nounccd his successful discovery of two desirable sites for the shaft. The location will be made upon the rec ommendation of Mir. Shumate, who is vice-president and acting president of the Venture Hill Company, on his re- turn to the district carly next week. Venture Hill stockholders will meet within a week and tender the presi- dency of the company to Shumate. Thus, with practically the same men in control, the two companies will be promoted together and, without there being real merger, the development of the ore bodies will proceed equally rapidly for both concerns.
 Another encouraging feature for Venture Hill people, is the fact the Pittsburg-Jcrome has just built S45,- 900 road right through the center of the property, available to the work men on the V. H. tunnel without it costing them cent A power trans mission line, built by and for another company, brings Fossil creek juice within 200 yards of the site of the proposed consolidated shaft
 Ed Shumate was elected president; C. T. Jolly. of Clarkdale, vice-prcsi- dent; J. H. Robinson, secretary-treas- urer, and Harry E. Shumate, assistant secretary. w. F. w. Plaisted, of Mi ami was elected director. LeRoy An derson, attorney for Verde Apex and Secretary John Robinson consulted the corporation commission and an nounced that 100000 shares of treas ury stock in the company would be sold on subscription plan to Arizona investors at 50 cents. Permission to make the issue is expected to be granted by the commission early next week.
 On the consolidation of the develop ment work of Verde Apex and Ven- ture Hill, John s, Reilly will be ten dcrcd the position of resident manager and will boss the work for both com panies.

The transforming of the old Tread well shelter into d modern reduction plant has started in earnest, and it was ascertaiucd from reliable sources yesterday that the capacity will be 800 tons per day. The machinery has been ordered and is now en route from the East. The old equipment used years ago is to be utilized wher- ever possible, but practically speaking a new plant is to be substituted in which it is stated Notation facilities will be introduced. The new works will treat only the product of the Henrietta and the Buttcrnut mines, both having developed a tonnage sufficient to insure reduction for months 10 come. The new works will not treat custom ores as has been reported.

 BONANZA
REPORTED THAT BIG COP PER CONDITION HAS BEEN OPENED IN THE
 VERDE RIVER HOLDINGS
(From Fridays Daily.}

Mining men of Cherry creek in Prescott yesterday were enthusiastic over what has been demonstrated on the Verde River Copper Go. holdings of Arthur l.. Garford, of Ohio, in the completion of a 600-foot crosscut tun- mel, that has been under headway for nearly one year under a contract giv- cn Joe Lees.
 Those convcrsant with determina- tions were free to state that a copper property of magnitude is practically solved, the tunnel passing through several zones which showed a miner alized condition that proved surpris- ing. Near the end of the tunnel a gold condition was opened, to add ad- ditional interest to the situation to arise in this big exploration.
 Mir Garford is expected in Prescott in short time, accompanied by his engineer, when future plan of oper- ating following an examination, will be decided upon. This property is located in the Verde belt, and is more familiarly known as the Lee Pfau group. It was active about IA years ago. Litigation arising later, Mir. Garford obtained title through a judg- mcnt of the courts. It had also been condemned by some of the best known copper engineers. Notwith- standing, Mir. Garford pursued a prac- tical course of initial exploration, and the results are received with much qualification in this mining com

COUNTY SCHOOLS ARE
 IN GOOD CONDITION
(From Saturdays DaiIY.) )

The only little red school house in Yayapai county is to be found in the new school district of Middleton, near Crown King. This new school is ono of the liveliest in the county, as many of the pupils have missed at tending school for year and they realize that they must work hard to catch up with their young friends in other districts. The Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company furnished the school house and home for the teacher free this year, in order that the children of many of its employees might be able to resume their studies again. A night school has also been established at Middleton, where the foreign speaking boys and girls meet to study English.
 At Crown King, more than 30 pu- pils are enrolled this year. Although the school building is not entirely sat- isfactory, Miss Helen Harrington, the teacher. and the pupils are making the best of it. It is hoped that new building will be constructed in more central part of the camp before the Winter sets in. Several citizens and mining company officials have prom ised to do their share iE raising funds for the new school and when 1t Is built a second teacher will probably be employed.

Hill was recently the scene of a strike of 30 per cent copper at nom- inal depth and is being developed under the personal supervision of John s. Reilly, one of the most cap able copper miners in Arizona.
 New Company In Charge.
 In early September the Silver Belt mine, property whose history dates back to the eos, was purchased by the Silver Belt Consolidated Com pany. Upon taking possession the new management started a shaft near the end line of the Arizona property, and at depth of 40 feet encountered ore carrying high values in silver, lead and zinc The shaft is to be sunk to depth of 500 feet where connec- ton will be made with the old work ings. The Silver Belt has at intervals been remuneratively worked by leas- CTS and has to its credit a silver-lead- zinc output of considerable value.
 Within few days the Huntington mill recently established by Anderson & Birch at the Arizona property, will be in commission. It has an ore treating capacity of 100 tons per day and is equipped with Wilhcy concen- trating tables. The Arizona orc car rics high values in silver, lead and zinc, and the property has been opcr- atcd at a profit ever since Anderson X Birch took 1t over. The large ton mage on dump will be the first to go to mill. Thereafter the ore reserves in the mine workings will be drawn uDOu

Establishing a Mill.

An oil Notation plant to be utilized in conjunction with the Chilian mill hitherto established, is to be set up at the First Home property in the Big Bug district The retimbering of the old shaft has progressed to q depth of lS5 feet and will be complet- cd by the time the reduction plant is in operation. Two feet of orc, carry ing a high galcna content and 40 ounces in silver to the ton, is being mined in the upper levels.
 An additional shift of miners, mak- ing three shifts in all, went on the job this week at the Gold Blossom prop crty. A depth of 500 feet is the ob- jective. The ne whoist and compress or recently installed are aiding mater tally the work of depth getting. Pay precious metal values prevail across a width of "A inches of ore on the 240-foot level Development of this ore body will be followed by the in stalling of a mill. In fact, negotia- tions are now on for the purchase of the old Ruth mill.
 Open New Ore Bodies.
 New bodies of milling grade orc have been opened Of late in the old Bannic mine in the Walker district They are being developed on two lcvels-to a depth of 160 feet-and carry lenses of shipping ore. The values are gold and copper and ap- pear to be fairly uniform in tine vein. Development at greater depth is re- quisite before the true value of tine ore bodies can be determined
 A contract for an additional 50 feet of sinking in the Black Diamond shaft has been awarded by ]. H. Irwin, the San Diego mining man who recently took over the holdings. Upon com- rletion of the contract the shaft will have a depth Of l50 feet Gold values are increasing as the shaft is lowered.
 The first shipment Of orc in a mum Der of years from the old Homestead nine in the Walker district was for wardcd to Fl Paso few days ago. It. consisted of a carload lot and had a value of approximately S35 gold per ton. The property was taken over some months ago by J. H.

CHARGES AGAINST BRANDEIS

At the very outset Of the Senate
hearing on the appointment Of Louis
D. Brandeis to the Supreme Court
there is a dramatic refutation of the
clamor that his confirmation is op-
posed only because he is a radical.
The first witness who took the
stand yesterday and made the most
grave charges against Brandeis is
himself a radical. This witness,
Clifford Thorne, of the Iowa railway
commission, charges Brandeis with
betraying the public when the public
was his client in proceedings before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, where Brandeis represented
those seeking to prevent raising the
rates.
Thorne may be extreme in his view
that it was Brandeis' action, which
Thorne denounces as a breach of
faith, which lost the cause of those

powerful factor as ThoIne believes
he was in the defeat of Brandeis'
client, the public, and in the victory
of the client whom Brandeis was pre-
sumed to be opposing.
And Brandeis, in spite of what
Thorne says, may not be guilty, wit
tingly or unwittingly, of betraying
his client, as Thorne now publicly

Brandeis did betray his client.
