Intense Excitement Starts in Mining Camp and Is Spreading; N. Y. Curb Setting New Sales Record

A rich ore body. supposedly contin- uation of the United Verde Extension vein, has been encountered on the 500 foot level of the Jerome Verde. The strike is believed by many miners to assure the future of the mine as an- other United Verde Extension. It was the biggest strike in the Jerome dis tlict in many months
 As a result of the strike, Jerome Verde stocks enjoyed the largest sale ever recorded on the New York curb in a single day, more than 300.000 shares changing hands The quota tions steadily increased throughout the day closing at S3.
 According to information from the Jerome district. the Jerome Verde has been in ore since Sunday but the large faults were not opened until early yes terday morning.
 Engineers who have long been inti- mate with the Jerome district. have predicted that important ore bodies would be opened up in this section east of the United Verde Extension, and this latest report would seem 10 indi- cate that they were right It is con ceded in local mining circles that the rich black sulphide ore of the United Verde Extension has been relocated on the Jerome Verde.

HUNT ATTORNEY WOULDPRESENT
 CAMP BELL CASE
Surprise Is Sprung During Contest hearing Which
 May Have Great Bearing in Deciding the Contest

The days proceedings in Judge
 Stanford's court were considerably
 enlivened yesterday by several tilts
 between counsel for Hunt and Camp
 bell During the morning session
 Hunts attorneys stated to the court
 that they would complete their case
 by noon today, but apparently, suf-
 fering a change or heart during the
 noon recess, Senator Ives called for the counting of ballots in precincts
 in which Campbell had shown gains
 during the preliminary inspection
 Judge Campbell objected. He point
 ed out that at the beginning of the trial the court had departed from the
 usnal proceeding, over the objection
 of Campbells attorneys, by permitting
 Hunt side to count ballots before establishing p~oof. upon their avowal
 to furnish such proof when the pre-
 cincts in which Hunt gained had been
 counted. That the court had permit
 ted them to withdraw from the record
 four precincts. which they had called
 by mistake, as they had shown gains for Campbell. That the court had re-
 fused his discretionary power of let ting contestee, Campbell, introduce the poll books as evidence to impeach
 the ballot evidence in those precincts
 where the ballots did not check with the poll books. That there were no statutes to govern the conduct of d contest proceeding in Arizona and that Hunts attorneys had been Del mitted to proceed with the introduction of precincts as they saw fit, jumping from one county tO another so that Campbell's attorneys could not know which of ihe 437 precincts or 60OO disputed ballots they would next have ! to consider. and now to allow them ] tO introduce Campbell's side of the
 case would be giving them con- i tinued undue advantage. The court ! took the point under advisement.

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE AND
 HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line represent the pick of our American youth. One in four of our boys at home was sick, re- jected because of physical deficiency. Many times the kidneys were to blame. If we wish to prevent old age coming on too soon, or if we want to increase our chances for long life, Dr. Pierce of the Surgical Institute. Buffalo. N. r., says dv dnat you should l aI1nk Reney Phn c or water your nearest drug store Anuric (double strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric acid out and cures backache and rheuIna- tism.
 If we wish to keep our kidneys in the best condition a diet of milk and vege- tables, with only little meat once a day, Is the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure water, take Anuric three times day for a month.
 Step into the drug store and ask for Anuric (60 cents a package) or send pr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric. many times more potent than lithia, eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar. A short trial will convince you.

Many of the wealthy Chinese own several motors, and in Shanghai 1t is said to be diff cult to maintain a taXicab business be- cause the natives charter all the cars. The Chinese have also established sev- eral motor driven bus lines. Chinese chauffeurs are said to be the coolest and steadiest drivers in the world, but poor mechanics.

Aunt Viruinia Says:

To attempt to plan your life for year, month, a week ahead is just as foolish as 1t would be to commence to add up a column of figures without knowing what more than half of them were.
 Justice to the innocent sometimes demands that we expose the faults of our neighbor, but we ought to meet the occasion as an unpleasant duty, not as a joyful opportunity.
 It pays to be generous if oRly fur the claim it gives us on the generos- fty of others when our time of need comes.
 It ought to be made a penitentiary offense to thrust upon the radiant hap piness of newly married lovers the cheap, coarse cynicism that 'it won't last"

 Intimate friends of the young man knew of the suicide agreement, for Gish had confided to. them his fear that he would not be able to keep his faith with his comrades and had been buoyed up by his friends attempts to relieve his mind. He had promised them that he would forget the past.
 Each student in Gish's class had learned @ trade and had gone from. the school to more or less success. AS each took his life, some by shooting, some by poison and some by the moose, the word was sent to those who remained. They kept in touch with each other until only Gish survived. The eighth member of the class shot himself two years ago.
 Gish had learned piano tuning. He lived with his father on ranch. He left with his friends a record of the graduation class and it's tragedies, with the request that they be kept in confidence until a certain length of time after his death.
