WALKS 12 MILES TO
 VOTE DRY, SAYS BOYD
(From Saturdays Daily)


 "I walked l2 miles to vote for pro- hibition."
 Dick Boyd, convicted of bootleg ging after the only jury trial on bootlegging case that has been found necessary since the drycst amend ment went into effect in this county, told the court yesterday that he be- lieved booze the banc of the work ingman. q realized it, your honor," he said, "and l walked l2 miles to vote dry" It was not within the province of the court to take this fact into con sideration. The jury had expressed its belief that three marked silver dollars. found in Boyd's possession immediately following the purchase of pint of whiskey from an agent of Boyd's, was sufficient evidence of his connection with the bootlegging firm, and had found him guilty. Boyd was sentenced to four months in the coun- ty jail and fine of $50, to be worked out at the rate of g day. The sentence was assessed beginning Jan uary 1, at which time Boyd's incar- ceration began. tc. George Parks, who pleaded guilty 70 having violated the dry laws, was sentenced to two months and fine of $50 at the rate of s day. and his Imprisonment as beginning February 22nd.
 Pleading guilty, being sentenced and being freed-all in ono day. was the unique experience of Nels Ben dixon, jointly charged with two oth- CTS of having bootlegged a bit. Ben dixon has been in jail since Dcccm- Der 2l. His case came up yesterday in the hands of his attorney, Dan1 E. Parks. who entered his plea of guilty fudge Smith fixed the sentence at two months and fine of $50 at the rate of & a day. The sentence and the fine together, made term tcrminabie yesterday, and Bendixon was ordered released.

GREEN MONSTER IS SIN KING
 ONCE MORE
SPEED IS WORD OF THE DIRECTORS; DIR. WEE D NEW MEMBER; WINZE IN REVENUE TUNNEL WILL BE MADE MAIN SHAFT.
Special to the Journal-Miner.

JEROME, March Naturalization of the transformers ordered last Au- gust is complete, and already, crew of 70 to SO men is at work sinking on the Green Monster property here. The directors met yesterday and laid plans for the work, ono result of which will be speeding up of opcr- ations.
 The resignation as a director of William s. Humbert of Phoenix was accepted, and Walter Harvey Weed. one of the most noted mining geol- ogists of the nation, was elected in his stead Dr. Weed was present at the meeting, and today, spent most of his time on the property, making a thorough examination, both of the mineral showing and of the means being employed to explore it.
 Neill Bailey, the president, said to- day that the object of the board is to proceed as rapidly as possible with the work. To facilitate this, "min ing committee" of the board of di- rectors has been named and given full charge of operations.
 All the transformers arc hooked up and in service. The sinking opera tions are being pursued in the winzc in the Revenue tunnel, which. it is said, will probably be made the main shaft on the property, though, it is admitted that there are plans being considered for another shaft in the George tunnel, located on the Cliff claim.
 "We are down so feet in the winzc," said Mir. Bailey "It doesn't look probable that any other shaft will have to be started. We have attained depth in the winze-about 200 feet and unless it should prove more economical to cut through this 200 feet to the surface, to. secure gravity haul for ores, it will not be necessary to change the plan of operation"
 Asked if it were true the transfer office Of the corporation was to be moved from Phoenix to Prescott, Bailey said: "Thc board expressed 10 oI ion on the matter. The Phoc- nix office has been giving satisfac- ton. But WIG have had offers from several houses in Prescott, to take over this work"
 There are three tunnels on the property, all following good orc in dications. The directors stated thas there were no developments in the ore body, but expressed great opti- mism over the fact that work has been resumed after a tedious wait for equipment.
 Green Monster closed on the New York Curb yesterday at s bid, S21s asked. the highest price it has com mandcd since the pool dissolution caused it to go on the toboggan.

and took him to Lee, who put him under S35 bond.
 The next morning in the court room must have been rich and juicy and comical scenp. Lee, according to Hougan, refused to permit the exer- else of those constitutional rights, which Hougan demanded in purest legal phrases. Instead, he shook his hand in the air and badc the defend ant shut mp. He kept repeating: I'm a working man. You cant come here and tell me anything about the law" This last, Hougan said, was meant to impress the l. w. W.'s who massed in the rear of the court room.
 Webster was jointly tried. con fessed to being the aggressor and was congratulated for his Washingtonian truth-telling by Hougan. This oldest and wcirdcst and most quaint of hear ings was then concluded by the re- lease of Webster, the self-confessed aggrcssor, and the binding over of Hougan, who was apparently persona non grata with the court, for Lee had told him, he stated, that he would get a jury soon cnough-evcn before the hearing opened.
 Hougan said he had talked over |. wv. propaganda with some of the numerous members of the band in Humboldt, and had steadfastly re- fused to side in. "If you arc not for us, you are against us.' he was told. He described their doctrines in the most classical English, though quite ungrammatical in most of his speech.
 His attorney, Danl E. Parks, then called Nelson, Hougan's foreman, and Samler, his landlord, and they cor roborated his testimony.
 On this showing, Judge Smith dis charged Hougan as a man most deeply deserving of his freedom, an abused man, and ono whose knowl- edge of law and practicc-especially in ono of such humble walk of life had pcrturbcd a perfectly good ]. F. and caused the justice part to be up- set, just as the peace had been dis turbed by the brawl.
 To Judge Smiths curious question, following his hearing, Hougan said he had studied law, was member of the conservative branch of union labor." had never been in jail or trouble in his life, and was descended from a Norwegian sea captain.

for nobody questioned thing SO plain to the eye. It was glance, of course, only the assayer said 1t was iron, and on second look everybody discovered that 1t was, barring some streaks of glance.
 As matters stand, Jcrome-Verde has passed through an iron capping more than 20 feet thick. It means in this district under the circumstances of geology proven by Verde Exten- sion next to Jeromc-Vcrde that the ore is underneath. Jerome-Verdc is down 9S0 feet It will go to l,055 and there crosscut. Its 1,055 will cores pond in actual depth with the 400 of the Verde Extension. Jerome Verde should be able to do the trick by May lst. Then her flirting career will end. A year ago the mine shaft went through bunch of bornitc around 600 feet. It sent the stock sky-rocketing, before it was realized that bornitc in this camp does not make much of an orc body. and it was too soon to look for the real orc body in Jerome-Verdc anyhow. The per formancc of this week was of much more stable sort, but still in the flirta- tious list Many miners owning Verde stock took profits on the ad- vance and have since bought back in. Quiet buying of the issue has been heavy.
