RED GROSS CAMPAIGN : Is PROVING SUCCESS
 IN MOHAVE COUNTY
fFrom Thur,day,, pailr Minerl

The campaign of the local Red Cross to raise $5,OOO in this county by next Sunday is progressing very favorably and indications are that the amount will be raised and possibly oversub- scribed. Chairman E. F. Thompson, of the finance committee in charge of the campaign, urged that everyone do their share and show the rest of the world that the other towns in the county will have a hard time to keep up with her in the matter of raising money for the Red Cross and other worthy causes.
 It was reported last night that S45 has been realized so far this week from the Ed and Frank stage line, which so generously agreed to donate half of the weeks receipts to the cause.
 Another donation which is deserving of commendation is that of Henry Lang. He gives all the money taken in at the picture show at the Elks' theater tonight, and all those that wish to help the Red Cross should spend this evening there as MT. Lang has arranged for good picture to be shown. While you are helping one of the finest causes on earth you will at the same time be enjoying yourself.
 MT. Thompson visited Yucca yes terday and named Louis lance and J. J. Jerome as a committee at that place to raise funds for the Red Cross. He said Mr. lance and NIT. Jerome prom ised to do all in their power to assist in the campaign.

 COPPER NOW IS
 PRODUCEDHERE
CFrOm Fridays Daily Miner,

PHOENlA, ArlZ., June 2l.-(Spe- cial )-Wednesday marked an event in the history of Arizona the significance of which was appreciated by compara- lively few. It was the shipment of the first lot of electrolytic copper from the New Cornelia mine at Ajo, and to commemorate the occasion the first block of metal extracted by this pro- cess will be sent to the state capitol to ever stand as a manument there to the introduction of electrolytie copper in this state.
 Captain John c. Greenway, general manager of the New Cornelia and also general manager of the Calumet-Ari- zOna interests, stated that the electro lytic plant is running in all depart ments and will produce 10000 pounds Of copper by this new process each day. In the course of ten days it is anticipated that the plant will reduce 100000 pounds.
 All parts of the plant are now in successful operation and producing re- suits fully up to the highest expecta- tions of those responsible for the in trOduction of the process into this state.
 The successful application of this principle to ore reduction in the great copper states have always marked an epoch in the mining industry. While the process is not new to copper, it is a novelty here and as such the re- suit accomplished with New Cornelia ore in the model plant which has been installed there will be patched with keen interest in all parts of Arizona.

MINES IN PRESCOTT DISTRICT
 WORKING IN GOOD ORE BODIES
Recent Strike Somewhat Reduced Months Output, But Believed This Will Be Offset Soon; One Property Was Not Affected.

The United Verde Tl1ior group, To- cated in the Verde district, is held un- der option by the companv-price S7O,OOO. Of this amount S1O,OOO has been paid by the company.
 Since January 1, 1917, the S5,OOO monthly payments called for in the agreement, have not been made by the corporation. A third party has, how ever, entered into an agreement with the company to make the defaulted payments and to meet the other pay ments as they fall due, in considera- tion of the assignment to him of the option to purchase. He further agrees to return the property to the company within a given time, when all of the said payments made by him shall be refunded. The management is now arranging to secure funds to meet these requirements and to prosecute development work. The results are reported to be satisfactory. The prop erty is of unquestioned value and well worth the efforts the management is making to retain it.
 Operations at Gadsden.
 The Gadsden shaft at Jerome has a depth somewhat in excess of APO feet at this writing. A considerable area of bad ground was encountered and caught up at depth of 37O feet, where the shaft passed from the sedi- mentaries into the schist. But little water has, however, thus far been en- countered. The flow is in fact so meager it does not in any way hamper work. During May the shaft was sunk a total of POP feet under the bonus system.
 Over 5000 in bonuses were earned by the miners in additions to their regular daily wage. No time was lost by the men during May by reason of the strike as a concession was granted by the union permitting them to work until June 1, in order to earn the bonus allowed for extra footage. On June 2, the strike was settled by vote of the union, so no time was lost at the Gadsden by reason thereof.

YOUNG WOMAN
 TAKESOWN LIFE
CFrom Thursdays Daily Miner,

Miss Lee Alfrad, sister-in-law of R. 4. McCardell of the Sandy, committed suicide at that place yesterday. Miss Alfrad has resided on the Sandy for only three months and no reason is known for her act. The young lady who is 21 years of age had been visit ing her brother-in-law at Francis Creek and it was said seemed happy and cOntented with life. Yesterday, 1t was said, she evidently decided that there was nothing for her to live for and while out walking shot herself with .32 caliber Colt automatic.
 Coroner Smith and Undertaken Van Marter left in the afternoon for the scene of the tragedy but up to a late hour last night no word has been re- ceived from them.
