Offensive Movement against
the City of SoIoniki Seems
Not to Have Begun.
TEUTONs ARE MASsIMG
An Important Offensive by Ger.
manSiS Expected to Begin
in the West Soon.

While recent reports Of the actual
opening Of an offensive movement by
the TeutOnic Allies against Saloniki
appear 10 have been premature, the
cables continue to bring accounts of
various troop movements held in mil
itary quarters to indicate that such
an offensive is probably not far dis
tant Athens dispatches today tell
OF continued concentration of Ger
man, Austrian and Bulgarian forces
on the Greek frontier, together with
the transfer of heavy artillery south
ward from Nish.
With such a movement in the Bal
kans in prospect, the reports that
come out of Roumania command in
creasing interest. Auvices from AL
lied sources declare that the fric-
tion between Roumania and the
Central Powers has increased and
that Roumania, supposedly in view
of the reported threatening attitude
Of Germany and Austria, has collect
ed forces close to the Austrian from
tier.
There Is a paucity of news Of ac-
tive operations in any Of the war
fields, probably for the good reason
that few important movements are
now actually in progress. The chief
capitals Of the Entente Allies, how
ever, appear to be impressed with
the idea that an important offensive
is shortly to be begun by the Ger
mans in the West. The belief is
prompted by the military movements
noted in recent days, considered to
presage something out OF the ordi-
nary.
The latest official bulletin from
Constantinople reports improved con-
ditions for the Turks, who apparent
ly have recently been under extreme
ly severe pressure by the Russians.
Although the Ottoman forces around
Erzerum seemingly have not been
successful in undertaking an offen-
slve they have been able to repulse
all the renewed Russian attacks,
they declare.
No change in the situation in Mes
opotamia Is indicated, the British re-
lief army still being stalled on the
Tigris some distance down the river
from kutel-Amara, it appears.

NJ BALM FUR THE
 RESCUE CLUB IN
 THE APPOINTMENTS

Rescue Clubbists will gaze without much favor on the court house after the first of the year. Although success ful in some cases, the club failed to make a considerable impression on the office holding habits of the county of- ficials. and the result is that not many changes in forces will be made, when, on January 2, the new terms begin.
 It is learned on good authority that w. H. Milky. the new sheriff, will have for his chief deputy. Lyman Latour- ette, well known Salt River valley young man. Harold F. DeWinton and Joe Balsz are also understood to be in line for deputyships.
 Sam Webb, who will be the new county treasurer. will take Vernon Wright from the clerical force in the office of the board of supervisors, and make him deputy. Wright will also do some work in connection with the of flee of the county assessor, where, due to the good race of MT. Bone, no changes will be necessary.
 It has been known for some time, that L. M. Laney, the county attorney elect would name Harry M. Johnson as his assistant. Johnson is not new in political circles, having been the youngest member of the first legisla- ture when elected to the lower house.

JEROME T0 REPEAT
 HISTORY IF BUTTE
(RY Ernest Qouqlasl

JEROME, AriZ, Dec 24-That the history of Butte will be repeated in Jerome is a belief that is steadily gain ing ground here
 In Butte it was thought for years that the ore lay within a certain cir spirits drilled holes in the lime down on the flats miles away from camp-and found copper
 The first person to suggest that the same thing might be true here, that there might be great lenses of ore down in the flat country away from the precipitous slopes of the Black Hills range, was w. L. O'Brien, himself, an old resident of Butte. O'Brien has formed the United Val Verde Copper company which holds a group of claims two miles northwest of Jerome With in a short time he will have a dia- mond drill exploring the United Val Verde and also the nearby Jerome North Star group. in which he is in terested.
 The Jerome Consolidated Copper company holds a group of claims just Val Verde. s. T. Bentley, its organ izer. is now in the east financing the company for diamond drill operation.
 Though these groups are almost en- tirely covered with heavy blanket of lime, they are not entirely without surface indications. There are sev- eral large outcrops of irons stained quartz and copper float has been found in that section.
 East and southeast of Jerome. be- tween this camp and the Verde river, are great beds of lime without any surface indications of ore yet this ground is not regarded without favor. One of the properties down in the limestone is the Mingus group of eight claims, formerly owned by Victor Glibborn and J. 1T. Onsrud, of Clark Green Monster and outlying claims of the r. V. Extension. Walter Harvey Weed, the eminent geologist. recently mended it's developments by the dia- mond drill method. He did not say that ore was there, but stated that in view of the great United Verde and United Verde Extension ore bodies, a little farther up in the hills, there might well be other huge lenses of copper ore under the limestone.
 Now the Mingus claims have been taken over by M. Morgan, one of the owners of the Milargue mine, at Za- catecas, Mexico, and of several pro- ducers in Nevada. Morgan has com bined them with the John Sullivan group of seven claims. through which the road between Clarkdale and Je- rome passes, and is organizing the Great Verde Extension Copper com pany Soon after the first of the year

look for Added to this is the fact that the senate will be controlled by the republicans and the house by the democrats
 The prohibition fight already has been launched through filing the initi- ative act making the state bone dry" Under the initiative law in this state the proposed statute, together with a substitute measure in case the legis- lature passes one, will go on the ballot together at the next general election.
 Initiative petitions on gambling and divorce, the former proposing an ini- tiative act absolutely prohibiting gambling in any form and the latter changing the residence clause of the divorce law from six months to one year, failed because a sufficient num- Der of votes failed to sign them.
 A change likely will be made in the existing election law An effort will be made to restore the direct primary system but the friends of the present convention system will insist on it's retention with, perhaps, a slight modi- fication.
 Legislation on race track betting, which now is permitted under the pari-mutuel system, is not likely to be changed although the present law may be amended so as to place the betting machine exclusively under the control of bona-fide residents
 Good roads legislation also will be given it's share of attention and an act probably passed calling for CO., operation with the national govern ment of sTch character as to enable Nevada to take advantage of the good roads act passed by the last congress.
 The Nevada State Bar association also will endeavor to obtain the pass age of legislation inaugurating the short ballot system.

the Great Verde Extension will be punching holes in the lime with a dia- mond or churn drill
 Less than half a mile north of the Great Verde Extension line, the Jerome Superior Copper company, financed by Los Angeles capital, is putting down it's first hole with combined churn and core drill of the type so success fully used at Butte.
 Two more companies with property well up to the recognized ore zone have decided on diamond drilling. One is the Jerome Copper Mining company, formed by E. A. kastner. of Prescott, and Homer King, of Phoenix, to take over the Ewing and Hooker group of five claims, near the famous Copper Chief. This drill will be operating by January l5. if all goes well. The com pany also expects to continue a tunnel which is in 32O feet The face, lS0 feet below the surface. is in almost solid iron pyrites with little chalcopy- rlte.
 No company was ever launched in the Verde district with better finan cial backing than the Jerome. The directors are: Malcolm Orde, treasurer of the Chicago surface lines; George H. Gilbert, banker and resident agent of the Employers Life Insurance com pany of London, Chicago; F. NJ. Bur dick. president of the Burdick Enamel Sign company, Chicago; Wellington Hay member of the Canadian parlia ment, Listerwell Canada; w. c. Stone, president of the Watertown National bank, Watertown, Wisconsin; E. A.. Kastner, owner of the E. A. Kastner and company store, Prescott, Arizona; Henry Brinkmeyer, proprietor of the Brinlimeyer hotel, Prescott.
 All these directors, with the excep tion of the Arizonans. are millionaires several times over. They have ad- vanced large development fund and no stock will be offered to the public
 Not far from the Ewing and Hooker claims is the Decatur group. The Decatur Copper company has just been re organized as the Verde Hub Copper company and a development fund is assured. Most of the directors are business and professional men of Deca- tur, Illinois. The four patented claims in the Decatur group are to be dia- mond drilled early next year. At the same time the old shaft, now down 2S4 feet, will be unwatered and continued to depth. Judging from the dump, it must have opened some good ore.
