FUTURE OF MICHIGAN
 VERDE SEEMS ASSURED

A. M. Mcclellan, vice president of the Michigan Verde Copper company, in talking of the manner in which their issue is being received by the invest ing public. states that he is fully con yinced that the future of the Michigan Verde is assured, through the deal mentioned in last weeks Copper Camp, whereby big eastern interests are taking over large block of the stock.
 Mcclellan expresses himself most en- Enthusiastically about the prospects of his company. He says he does not be- lieve there is a fair-minded miner in Jerome who will hesitate to say that the property of the Michigan Verde is the most promising ground in the dis trict yet undeveloped within the close in section. which has so far proved to contain the rich ore of the camp. and that the miners of the camp are prac- tically unanimous in their opinion that the Michigan Verde will make a big producer, with development.
 According to Mcclellan, the big New York deal and the manner in which the stock is being subscribed through out the country, especially in Arizona, assures quick development of the property. Plans are now being made to begin work at an early date. and it is believed that this work will be in active operation before the close of the current month.
 In all probability, diamond drills will be used to prove up the property and because of the proximity of the Michi- gan Verde ground to the blowout from which Senator Clark has taken so many millions, Mcclellan states that geologists believe it highly probably that rich ore will be penetrated at nominal depth.
 Judging from details received from Mcclellan as to existing conditions in connection with the Michigan Verde. it would seem that this popular junior has great possibilities. The fact that the company has a small capitalization, with 535 acres in a high grade district, all owned by the company. and that they have SO per cent of the stock in the treasury for development purposes speaks we'll for it as a clean-cut min ing proposition.

FL PAS0 MAN WILL
 BE NEW PRESIDENT
 OF JEROME PACIFIC
Position Now Held By Jerome Woman Will Be Taken Over By John L. Dyer, Present Head of Verde Combination.

JEROME. June 16.-John L. Dyer of Fl Paso, president of the Verde Combination Copper company, is to be the president of the new Jerome Pacific company.
 At a meeting to be held in Jerome next week Mrs. C. V. Hopkins. who became president of the Jerome Pa cific recently when she bought out two young men who had undertaken the financing of the proposition, will resign that position. MT. Dyer will then be elected president, with Dr. Harlow of Colorado Springs, former ly director of the Calumet X Ari- zona, as vice president and director. The other directors are to be (. V. Hopkins, engineer for the United Verde; David Morgan. manager of the Verde Combination; J. B. Harper. superintendent of the Jerome Verde; Edward w. Kayser, cashier of the First National Bank, Fl Paso; and a man named Sergeant. who is manager for Otis & Co.,, the big Denver bro kerage house. Kayser is to act as treasurer
 The Jerome Pacific was organized with 100000 shares, par value 30 cents. According to a letter sent by Mir. Dyer to his friends 50,000 shares were sold at S1 per share. With each share of treasury stock sold two shares of pooled stock were given as bonus This disposed of 10000 shares. Tom Mulcaire. one of the original owners of the property, ac- cepted S26,O0 cash and 75,000 shares of pooled stock for his interest. c. " Hopkins. the other owner. took all stock and no money. He and his as- sociates hold 275,0O0 shares.
 It is now planned to sell 5OO.OOO shares at $1, giving half share pool ed stock as a bonus with such share of treasury stock purchased for cash. This will make a total of 750,OOO | shares. When this has been disposed of 250.OOO shares will remain in the treasury.
 Subscriptions for Jerome Pacific stock are now being received. It has been agreed that 10 per cent must ac company orders. and the remainder will be paid when called for by the board of directors. which will prob ably be in 30 or 40 days.

PUMPING RECORD IS
 HELD BY DOMINION

It is quite generally supposed that the big pumping plant now at work on the Down Town mines at Leadville, Colorado. says the Mining Record of Denver. has the greatest capacity of any unwatering outfit in the United States. This supposition would seem reasonable when it is known that the Leadville pumps have raised as much as 4.500 gallons of water per minute. This notable feat has been exceeded, however. and is being exceeded by the pumping plant of the Old Domin- ion copper mine in the Globe district of Arizona. The flow of water in that property is of tremendous volume, necessitating pumping on the 1,2O0, 1,40O and 1,600 foot levels. One of these plants alone has the stupendous capacity of S.OOO.OOO daily. or 5.555 gallons per minute, thus exceeding the amount of water handled by the Down Town pumps to the extent of more than a thousand gallons a min ute.
 The Old Dominion mine. in spite of being handicapped by so much water, has been a dividend payer since 1898 and is now producing it's 5000, LOCO pounds of copper per month.

MINES. MINING. LOCAL STOCKS AND COPPER
FRAUD IS CHARGED
 AGAINST PRESIDENT
 OF JEROME
Stockholders of Company Seek To Enjoin Official of Company From Disposing of Stock Holdings.

PRESCOTT, June 16.-Making the open charge of fraud and evil plot. ting. stockholders of the Jerome-Port- land Mining Company recently filed suit against the company, against A. B. Frame. it's president and general manager and against the Bank of Arizona, the latter merely the holder of certain of the company's stock. A restraining order was issued to pre- vent the president of the company from dealing any more in the company stock and to stop the Bank of Arizona from issuing stock.
 Frime-Up Charged.
 Dating frdtm before the company was organized. is the charge that Frame framed up on the incorporators and with some of them. to profit by deal in Il mining claims alleged in the complaint to be valueless. The complaint recites the purported fact that the company was incorporated in order to take over and develop what are known as the Brookshire claims nthe Verde district. Instead it is charged. Frame and his friends, acquired record title to II claims in the vicinity of the Brookshire. that are of little or no value and turned them over to the company in return for a huge block of stock. The claims were located in April last year and it is alleged no work has been done on them. It is said that 2SO.00O shares of the capital stock of the Jeremoe- Portland were to be issued for the Brookshire claims.
 Other Charges.
 It is then charged that on May 15. 1916. Frame sold his II claims to the company for the consideration of 759.- 960 shares of Jerome-Portland stock. Then. as majority stockholder and in complete control of the directors, who he. himself put into office. Frame is said to have dominated the company. having himself named president. gen eral manager and stock sales agent. The complaint states that stock sales in the following amounts were made: 55,36O shares at BOG; 237.4S5 shares at SOC; 22.303 shares at 75c; and 55,S06 shares at $1.
 Frame then turhed back into the treasury 2S0.0O0 shares of his stock. and still has 469.960 shares of it in his own name in the Bank of Arizona at Jerome. Some of this stock he is thought to have contracted to sell at various figures.
 Seek To Enjoin Them.
 The suit seeks to enjoin Frame and the Bank of Arizona from disposing of the stock. to compel the president of the company to turn back such stock as the court may deem him to have acquired illegally. or else pay for it at the rate of soc a share, and to claim judgment for costs and attor- ney's fees.
 Bond being filed, Court Commission CT J. M w. Moore issued a temporary restraining order.
 The suit is brought in the name of J. H. Mahoney and George Moore, and other stockholders of the Jerome 1 Portland similarly situated. and de- fendants named are A. B. Frame. the company and the Bank of Arizona.
