SENSATIONAL RISE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND SELLING ORDERS BEAT PRICE DOWN TO AS LOW AS TWO DOLLARS.
(From Thursdays Daily)

Proht-taking caused marked price recession in Jerome-Verde yes terday. Opening at S234, the next sale was at S2Zs, and then selling or ders depressed the stock to S21I. Ii recovered to S2Zs, but during the re- mainder of the session, the prices gradually wilted until finally the g mark was reached. There was slight rally at the end and the stock closed at S21s bid. It is quite likely that the selling movement will exhaust itself this morning and an advance may be looked for about noon.
 There will, however, not be any sensational bulge until the extent and permanency of the new strike shall have been determined. It must be remembered that the shaft which is vertical, is cut by the ore body at a pitch of 76 degrees, and it is not un- likely that the shaft may pass through and out of the ore body, in which con tingency, it would be necessary to crosscut from the shaft at lower depth in order to pick mp the ore shoot.
 That a genuine strike has been made. is no longer matter of doubt. Joe Larsen, one of the veteran min ing men of the Verde district was in Prescott yesterday and stated to the Journal-Miner that he had personally been at the shaft on Tuesday and saw the ore being brought up in the skip and placed on the dump. Miner friends gave him additional informa- ton. As an evidence of his faith in the property he promptly hastened to Jerome and ordered 1900 shares by wire. Incidentally Mir. Larsen was the original locator of the ground now being developed by the Calumet & Jerome. He owns 10000 shares of this stock, and as it is now selling around S21s, Mir. Larson is chased as one of the mining magnatcs of Je- rome.

DIVIDEND EXPECTED
 IN A SHORT TIME
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 Interests identified with the control of Consolidated Arizona state that they expect the stock will be put on the dividend-paying list within short time. It was thought that the first dividend would be declared in June, but according to present information dividend action will be taken prior to that time. The net earnings of the company are now running at the rate of Sl 100000 per annum, but the smell ter facilities will soon be in use for outside producers at profitable terms, and this will materially increase the net revenue of the company. More money has been spent on the develop ment of this property than is general ly understood. Its smelter capacity has been increased from 1000 tons to 5000 tons per day. Stockings of ore in the DeSoto mine have been largely in excess of the estimates. and gold and silver values are known to have been disclosed in the Blue Bell mine
 All information indicates that Con- solidated Arizona looms up as one of the best purchases on the Broad Street Curb New interests have be- come identified with the property, and after studying its condition are confident that 1t will have a substan- tial advance in the near future. - Hughes & Dier's Market Forecast.

(From Fridays Dailyl

Another thorough discussion of paving, this time, with an expert in the unsurfaced concrete style of per manent paving present, failed to get anywhere, when meeting at the chamber of commerce broke up with out having made any recommenda- ton. The meeting was we'll attended
 G. A. Sherron, engineer of the Port land Cement Association, presented the meeting figures on the cost of concrete paving. He told the tax payers that by parking the centers of the streets. it would be possible to cut down the cost of the work con siderably by lessening the amount of yardage. Prescott's streets are very wide.
 At Sl50 a square yard, the figure he estimated 1t would cost, this style would come to S6 front foot. and that by cutting the streets down to 60 feet in width, this cost would be reduced to $ front foot.

RACE IN
1908 GREATEST OF
RECENT SEASONS

Although the race for the pennant
this year has not been without it's
thrills, it can't compare with the
finish of the 1908 season when the
coveted flag passed to the Cubs by
the margin of a. single victory. 1t
was just nine years ago today that
the deciding contest between the
Giants and the Cubs was staged. and
the Chicago clan won by score of
A to 2. It was on this occasion that
Fred Merkle pulled the great bone
that will forever be a mark in base
ball history. The deciding game, Oct.
s, 1908, was not on the regular pro-
gram.
The Chicago club had protested the
game of Sept. %, which New York
claimed by a score Of 2 to I, and
which the former claimed was a tie.
In this. last game the score was to
1 in the ninth, and the Giants had
Merkle on first base and Mccormick
on second. with two men out. Bird
well singled and Mccormick lumber
ed home. It was then that Merk1e
failed to go to second. Johnny Evers
called for the ball to be slammed to
second in order to force out Merkle
and retire the Giants.
The New York fans swarmed into
the field, threatened massacre. Some
body heaved the ball away. The Cubs
protested vigorously, and when the
matter came before the baseball tri-
| bunal President Pul1iam sustained the
protest. He declared the game tie

the question of golf records opened
up by the performance of James M.

Club, Philadelphia, in winning the
Western open championship with an

its argument on the fact that Barnes
bettered by three strokes the mark
made by Chick Evans in last years ma
