AT VERDE
COMB ULTRA FAVORABLE

JEROME, Ariz., May 19.-rhe main
three compartment shaft of the Verde
Combination has entered what is be-
lived by mining men to be one of the
most favorable formations yet seen in
the district, at the depth. The shaft
is now about fifty feet below the Mes
cal tunnel and about 275 feet below the
the surface. A sheared fractured zone
is coming in from the south, which
means receptive formation for more
deposition in the opinion of engineers
who have examined the district
The main tunnel, which is being di-
rected toward the Corners group is
now in diorite formation carrying
heavily speckled pyrite. The main
quartz diorite footwall has finally been
contact, and disseminated chalcopyrite
which was found here appears to be
turning back to the southeast, a con-
dition that is looked upon as very en-
couraging by Dave Morgan, superin-
tendent.
There is strong belief here that the
shaft is not far from a large body of
ore. 1t is being driven to intersect at
depth three or four chalcopyrite show
ings that are exposed on the tunnel
level all of which dip in the direction
of the shaft.
White iron in the shaft occurs in a
black slaty schist. Mining experts are
agreed that the Combination could
scarcely hope for better showing at
that depth.
In about two weeks the compressor
will be operating, after which some
speed can be made in going down after
the ore that Superintendent Dave Nor
gan and the officers of the Combina-
ton company believe is there.
Combination stock is selling for
about 80 cents share more than it
commanded two weeks ago.
John L. Dyer, president of the COM
pany, and James M. Layman, prin-
cipal organizer, both put in orders for
stock recently.

MANY THINGS While DRUNK

Abraham Carey, colored, was before
City Court today charged with as
saulting Elsie Wilson in the house,
No. 10 Decatur street and with
threatening bodily harm to Charlotte
johnson. Elsie testified that Abraham
had bounced a chair off her head, cut
her hand with a safety razor. threw
a few dozen bottles around her head.
and threatened to "cut her head clear
oft her body" As Elsie did not relish
this kind of business she had Abraham
arrested.
Lottie Johnson testified that Carey
was not so drunk as he would have
them believe. because he knew what
he was doing, and told of the threats
and assaults against them.
After much repetition of testimony
on the part Of witnesses Abraham
was sworn. He told all about H. He
said that he was drunk the night Of
the row. and that Elsie had pushed
him downstairs. and then he pushed
Elsie back upstairs. He said he had
a row with the women that night, but

assault and battery charge and re-
quired to furnish $500 peace bond.

DOVER. Del, Feb. 13.-One OF the
largest hearing ever held in House OF
Representatives took place shortly
after IL o'clock this morning, when
more than 800 men and women from
all parts OF Delaware appeared before
the temperance committees OF the
Senate and House, on dry measures
that have been introduced in the Leg
islature
The House. chamber was crowded,
with many persons standing in the
aisles and many more standing In
the lobby, who could not get into the
room. There seemed to be a mis-
understanding as TO the hearing, not
withstanding the large crowd and
consequently the members and Off
GERS OF the Legislature were not pre-
pared for such an immense crowd.
Even the members Of the two tenn
perance committees, when approached
said they knew nothing OF the hear
ing, but they soon made arrange
ments for it.
The Rev. p. c. Prettyman. super
intendent OF the Anti-Saloon League,
made the opening address to the COM
mittee. explaining that the hearing
was on all dry" measures that have
been introduced. namely. the anti
shipment bills, Statewide prohibition,
bottle law repeater, and the bill for
vote on the liquor question in Will
mingtOn and rural New Castle county
at a special election next fall. Mr.
Prettyman said he had heard the criti-
cism coming from the saloon interests
of New Castle county that it was not
the churches that were fighting the
saloon. but "hired agents" He ex-
planned that he (Nr Prettyman) is a
Delawarean, and that the delegation
present answers the criticism referred
