THIS MAN LOST HIS CARD IN
 JEROME FIRE
(From Tuesdays Daily.1

Lots of mail comes to the members of the local exemption board sitting in this city, but 1t is doubtful whether they ever received any which con- tained more bad spelling than one which came in yesterday from Mex ican resident of Jerome. The letter, which was written for the purpose of telling the board about the loss of a registration card, is as follows, the spelling being letter for letter:
 dear sirs.
 T, Jesus -, habe lost my reg isterd card, in the fer, herein jerome. and not habing nothing to show, in case l should be askt for it, wold thank yous for another one, don't remember the nomber of the card, bot, do remember that cald to apier on the 10. tn, day of augist, so hoping that yous will send me a card, vii thank yous in adbance for same, JESUS Y-"
 As the law makes no provision for the issuance of duplicate cards under any circumstances, the board was compelled to tell the inquirer that they would be unable to accommodate him, and that the best he could do would be to preserve the letter which the board was sending him, using 1t to show that he had really made an effort to replace the lost registration card.

(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The marriage of Captain Alfred H. Gale and Miss Florence Hermann was solemnized on Saturday evening at Toltec Lodge, the Prescott home of MT. and Mrs. LeRoy Anderson.
 At twilight, just as Ihe sun was sinking behind Thumb Butte, the couple, unattended, took their place in front of the large west window of the living room, before an improvised altar of palms and pink and white asters. The Episcopalian ring service was read by Rev. Henry H. Shires- Only relatives and few friends were present at the ceremony.
 After the congratulations had been extended 10 the young couple, the company sat down to a delicious wedding dinner, at which toasts wero given and much merriment cnsued. The bride cut the wedding cake with the groom's sabre. During the even ing the guests danced, and the bride, who is an accomplished violinist, rem dered several selections on that in- strumcnt.
 The bride was dressed in charm ing gown of white satin, with trim ming of lace and pearls. She wore a tulle wedding veil and carried beau tiful shower bouquet of white roses and gysophilia. The groom wore his uniform.
 The living room was artistically decorated with flags, chrysanthe- mums and asters, and each doorway was outlined with asparagus ferns. Only white candles were used in light ing the dining room, both upon the table and on the sidewalks. Each end of the table held vases of white roses, with bank of roses and ferns between. From the chandelier were strcamers of white tulle, entwined with feathery ferns.
 One the way to the train, the guests stopped at the Yavapai Club for a dance. As Mir. and Mrs. Gale entered the ball room, the orchestra played the wedding march. They left on the late train for San Francisco, where the groom is an instructor at the Presidio. The brides travelling suit was brown broadcloth trimmed with fur, and with it she wore large brown velvet hat.

ANDREWS MAKE B|G STRIKE IN OLD MINE
RESUMED OP E R ATT ONS WHEN SILVER CAM BACK, AND ORE CON- TENT HIT REPORTED TO BE HIGH GRADE.
(From Saturdays DaiIy)

Arrivals yesterday from Crook Can yon brought news of strike of high grade silver-lead orc as having been made during the week by Frank E. Andrews, who for the past month has been devoting his time to opening up the property.

HUSKINS IS FREE
 FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES
(From Sundays Oaily)

Henry Huskins, the man who for the past two weeks has been playing tag with Sheriff Joe Young via the habeas corpus route, was yesterday given his freedom-for about l5 min utes.
 Judge Smith issued writ of habeas corpus at the request of the mans attorney, the court ruling that the arrest of Huskins had been illegal for the reason that Justice of the Peace Marks of Crown King had issued the warrant in Prescott, which is consid- erably out of his jurisdiction. Marks had come to this city on the day that one of the previous habeas corpus cases of Huskins was being tried in court, and when the court had ordered the man liberated because of faulty commitment, Marks at once swore out other warrants and caused the man to be incarcerated again.
 The matter came before the court yesterday morning again, and once more the judge decided that Huskins was being deprived of his liberty in an illegal manner, and directed Sheriff Young to show the man the gate.
 Huskins' freedom was of short du- ration, however, for an officer from Flagstaff was waiting on the stairs with a warrant from Coconino county, charging Huskins with obtaining money under false pretenses. It is charged that the man took orders for suits of clothing in Flagstaff, collect cd payments on the transactions and then forgot to deliver the garments as per agreement This is the same game which the man is alleged to have played at Crown King, and which caused his original arrest

BOTH PROPERTIES WILL
 BENEFIT BY THE WORK

Final arrangements for reSumng operations at the Venture Hill are being made by Superintendent F. L. Bartholomew. He has his crew and as soon as the shaft is unwatered he will put three shifts to work.
 The 2O0-foot shaft contains about 100 feet of water. It IS estimated that this can be drawn out in three days.
 Superintendent Bartholomew thinks that with the S25,OOO now available for Venture Hill development he can put the shaft down 400 Feet below the tunnel level, which is 65 feet below the bottom of the shaft as 1t now stands. That will give total depth of 665 feet, and experts arc agreed that by that time body Of high grade ore may be disclosed. The last rock pulled from the shaft before opera tions were suspended last Summer was schist shot through with chal- copyritc and bornitc.
 As this shaft is sunk right on the line of the Venture Hill and Verde Apex. the showing means as much to the Apex as the Venture Hill.
 Latest advices from the Jerome Portland are that the orc has widen cd out to eight or nine feet. This is in the drift being extended southwest along the ledge recently cut on the 500-foot level It is understood that the drift has followed the ledge some 60 or 65 feet. The schist carries much more iron sulphide than where it was originally intersectcd but not great deal of copper.-Verde Copper News.

PROSPERITY And HEALTH
From the Extension Division Of the
University of Wisconsin.

Much Of the most important knOWl-
edge we have of human life has been
gained by a study Of the lives of lower
and simpler animal creatures. Stu
dents OF complex modern community
life have been aided by a study Of less
advanced civilizations. I believe I OBJ
tanned a better idea of rural Wisconsin
health problems by visiting a more
primitive state, recently, than | would
have formed in much greater length
of time spent within our own borders.
Notwithstanding the fact that the re-
gion [ visited is several hundred years
older than Wisconsin, there are few
localities left in our state which pre-
sent such clear pictures Of pioneer days
as are to be seen there in connection
with relics of our earliest national
history.
From the car windows forests, hun
dreds of acres in extent were seen, in
which, perhaps, not single blow of an
axe has ever been heard. Here and
there were little clearings with rough
board cabins and rather miserable at
tempts at primitive agriculture.
The people are so poor that they
haven't the time nor money to provide
themselves with the luxury Of deep
we'll of unpolluted drinking water.
HiaS
Not even netting, much less wire
screening, checks their flight into the
cabins at mealtimes.
The faces and figures Of the people
show the endless chain Of poverty and
sickness. They are sick because they
are poverty stricken and poverty strick-
en- because they are sick
We who live in Wisconsin are well
situated. We can see an end to biting
poverty and bread hunger. The day
when we shall be free of the simpler
forms of preventable disease, at least,
is not so very remote. Our cold win
tiers and springs may irritate US, but
they do not rob US Of the ability to
work prohtably. And profitable work
in few years provides the means by
which we may prevent disease or Sc
cure proper treatment and care if it
should overtake us.
People should not postpone for too
long the spending of due proportion
of their savings to secure life and
health protection. For, after all,
health really does constitute the great
est wealth.

A New Wrinkle in Fans.

An addition to the ordinary electric
fan is an arrangement by which it
may be made to supply perfume to
the room. The spokes of the fan wheel
are of fine wire screening and they
whirl through a small tank of per-
fumed water, placed at the base OF
the wheel. If desired disinfectant
may be substituted for the perfume in
the water. Thus the city living room
may be given the tang of the pine
woods, the spicy perfume Of the trop'
les or the salt breath of the sea.
