.B|NCHAMT0N ID |. SINK ID THE 120O LEVEL
HIGH QUALITY OF ORE LIN COVERED ABUSE s
 MANAGEMENT TO ORDER SHAFT PUT DOWN TO
 TWICE PRESENT DEPTH.
(Ffom Thursdays Daily.)

The Arizona Binghampton man. agement has decided to continue the sinking of the main shaft from the 600 level to the 200, the first station 10 be established at about the 700 or S00-foot mark.
 The decision to continue work or the shaft followed conference held this week by President w. II. Key holds, General Manager George W. Johnson and Superintendent s. C. Cheney. It had for some time been the intention of the company to start sinking at some other location than the site of the present shaft, but a careful examination disclosed the fact that the shaft was right now about as close to the supposed ore bodies as any other one might be, so it was decided to keep sinking on the ori- ginal shaft.
 At the 600, vein of high grade copper ore, B feet m width, was cut carrying values of an average of 7 per cent. Another vein of somewhat smaller proportions was also encount- cred at the GOO, and it is the belief of the officials that if sinking is con- tinued, other veins will in all prob- ability be cut, which will make the mine one of the really big copper properties of the State.
 The Binghampton is at present working something like l50 men, and its daily output from l50 to l75 tons is being put through the company's Notation plant, most of the ore thus treated running about 3H per cent in the rcd metal

RANGE SITUATION
 SATISFACTORY TO
 REID-EVANS PEOPLE
iFrom Fridays Daily.)

While in the city yesterday en route from Phoenix to Seligman, F. A. Reid, of the big cattle firm of Reid Evans Company, stated that many complaints heard of the drouth pass ing over the above country could be traced to lack of precaution in pro- viding for just such emergencies as are prevailing in not securing water supply during favorable seasons.
 Speaking of his firms anticipations of a dry season coming sooner or later, he said that ample provision had been taken to meet conditions that have arisen, and so far as the present outlook is to be considered range and cattle today are in better shape for Wintering than had been known for many years. Throughout their large holdings water IS abund- ant, while livestock are thriving ac cordingly. Develop water before the crash comes. and any alarm over the outlook will be brushed aside" he said. Mir. Reid stated further there will be no losses on his range from lack of water and that good feed abounds considering the lateness of the season.

SUGAR BUYERS FUDGING
 ON UNCLE SAM
(From Thursdays Daily.)

H. D. Aitken, State Merchants Re- presentative of the Federal Food Ad- ministration for Arizona, makes the statement that it is quite apparent that many consumers of sugar are not complying with the request of the Food Administration 10 curtail the use of sugar. and that in many in- stances they arc imposing upon the merchants, and endeavoring to obtain more than the 20-pound purchase which is the limit; and that in a great many instances consumers construc this ruling to mean that they may purchase 20 pounds today and 70 pounds tomorrow, and that they work all kinds of schemes to obtain a stock of sugar, by purchasing their limit from one merchant today and same limit from another merchant tomor- TOW, and so on.
 The fact is that they are not en- titled to have more than 20 pounds of sugar at any one time, and they will have no trouble in obtaining more sugar when their 20 pounds has been used. Therefore, the method adopted by numerous consumers to obtain sugar in this manner is unfair and very decidedly unpatriotic. Con- sumers should realize that if prop CT and equal distribution of sugar is not made in Arizona, the Federal administration would be perfectly justified in forcing a compliance, and certainly the State of Arizona does not wish to be regarded in the slack CT" class in the distribution of sugar.
 Yours very truly,
 H. D. AIKEN,
 State Merchants Representative.

DR. EMMAL NOW
 HOLDS RANK OF MAJOR
(From Thursdays Daily)

NIIOHI EG. oudJ . DaAiy.J
 There are many in Prescott who will be pleased to learn that Dr. Frank s. Emmal, former resident, is now post surgeon of Fort Winfield Scott, San Francisco, and has the high rank of a major in the regular army.
 His commission was issued recent ly, and he is now the ranking officer at that post in the medical corps. Major Emmal served on the border with the National Guard for several months in his profession as a cap tain, and retiring to civil life his ser vices were again requested, owing to war with Germany. He complied, sacrificing large civil practice in San Francisco, where he enjoyed an ex- cellcnt name in his profession.
 Major Emmal writes to a Prescott friend imparting the news of his pro motion, and also states it is quite probable he may soon go abroad. Major Emmal visited Prescott early in the present year, when he received welcome from many old-time friends, who now extend congratula- tions on his attaining the high recog- milton in military circles through pro- fessional ability of the highest order. The military post at which he is To- cated is one of the largest in the na. ton.

Indications are that there will be general activity in the Cherry Greek district this coming year. Several new companies are being organized among the best mining men of the State. Capital is being interested in California, Ohio. Chicago and other places east.
 l. II. Tribby, who is one of tho oldest Of the mine owners in that dis trict, has turned over four of his properties, the Evening Star, Climax, Three Metals and the Shipper, to a combination of men residing at Pasa- dena, Calii., the deal having been con- suInmated through Dr. w. A. Craw- ford, of that city. The four proper, ties are well developed showing high grade gold and copper ore. Judge D. F. Parks, of Prescott, and asso- ciates, own the Logan mine which is in the same camp.
 In the same district, the Jerome Conger Mining company, which is officercd mostly by Prescott business men, has acquired the old Conger mine. Henry Suder is president, R. T. Belcher secretary, and w. H. Hoover, treasurer. Rudolph Baehr. of Phoenix, is vice president The company IS to be financed by Ohio people. The orc is gold and copper,
 One of the best developed proper tics in the Cherry district is owned by the Verde Inspiration Company of which F.. II. Meek, is president and A. L. Hammond is secretary, both of Prescott. There arc sever al parallel veins travcrsing the prop orty which have been extensively de- vcloped
 Like most of the big properties in that camp, the surface of the veins is strong in gold values, which are rich enough to pay well. The Etta mine is an example of what can be done with the mines of the district, il having produced over half million dollars in gold by amalgamation. As depth is attained on the veins, the gold values have tuFned into good grade chalcopyrite copper ore. h the case of the Verde Inspiration mine, several deep shafts have been sunk on different portions of the veins. The 20-ton stamp mill has handled successfully all the ore that has been mined. The plan is to in crease the capacity of the stamps and to install a complete concentration and cyanide equipment. There are about 10000 tons of oxidized gold ore blocked out and there is much more ground that has not been devol- oped that will carry this same quality of gold ore. The orc that has been milled will average about $l5.00 ton in gold.
 Already, in the deepest workings, this gold ore has begun to turn into the characteristic chalcopyrite cop per orc, which will cause the com pany to add the Notation process to the mill methods. This is already planned for.

 We'll, l am still travefing in Pull mans for Uncle Sam. When I land cd in Camp Funston, Kansas, it was the 7th of October. was in the l64th Depot Brigade From there I was transferred to the 34Oth Field Ar tillery. 1 stayed in Funston until the 5th of November, and was then trans ferred to Camp Pike, Arkansas. Here was placed in the 334th Field Artil- lery, but only stayed there two weeks, when l was again transferred to Kel- ly Field, Texas, as member of the aviation signal corps. Thirty-nine of we auto repair men were sent there out of the 10000 who were at that time stationed at Camp Pike When we arrived at Kelly Field, we were assigned eight to large tent. and en- joyed our meals cooked out in the open. We also ate out on the ground with plenty of good old Texas dust to flavor our food.
 On Tuesday we were called up for trade examination, and out of our bunch of 30, six of us qualified as auto repair men. Then we were assigned to the l6Oth Aero Squadron, in which there are l54 men, l2 repair men, 24 flying machines and men to operate them, l2 motor trucks and drivers, I2 cooks and 1 electricians, the rest of the men being unskilled laborers. On the following day our company left Kelly Field for Park Field, near Memphis and arrived there on Friday, December 7th. We expect to remain here for the Winter. I am now one of the irst-class repair men, and be- lieve that I stand very good chance of getting instruction as an aviator. The company will have several large battle planes here within a short time. Each one of the barracks here holds l54 men and is quite large and comfortable, being we'll heated. The aviation field is quite large and IS as level as billiard table.
 Some of these days I hope to come flying over the city of Prescott and take q picture of the town as bird would see it.

FOREMAN GIVEN
 LIGHT PRISON SENTENCE
(From Wednesdav's Daiiy.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Rice D. Foreman, the man who in 1901 killed an Italian miner at the United Verde shaft in Jerome, and who several months ago came back and voluntarily confessed his crime, was sentenced to the Florence peni- tentiary for an indeterminate period of from one to five years, the sent ence having been pronounced in the Superior court yesterday afternoon by Judge Smith.
 In passing the judgment, the court took occasion to tell Foreman that the light sentence had come about primarily through the fact that he had seen fit to come back and admit his part in the taking of human life. The lightness of the sentence was also due partially to the fact that the murder had been committed so long ago that few remembered it, and there was no one to push the prose, cution. Foreman told the judge that he was quite willing to begin the prison term in an effort to square up. in a measure at least, for the rash act committed l6 years ago. Since the time the murder took place, Foreman said, he had wandered about the coun- try with the guilty knowledge as his constant companion, until at last re- morse caused him to unburden him. self to the officers He will be taken to the prison within the next day or so.

observes the National Geographic Mag

$500 per day and of finding nuggets
worth thousands of dollars each upset
even the most sober minded. Even
government officers and policemen de-
serted, and order was kept and Offices
manned by soldiers brought from Tas-
mania and from England. The work.
ings at Ballarat and Bendigo justified
the excitement. For the first ten years,
1S52-1S61, the output was valued at
s4S6, 100000. From the Victoria field
have come 412 gold nuggets, each
over 100 ounces, 81 over 500
