COMMERCIAL IN A
 BODY 7 PER CENT ORE (Ernrn Wadnnrda,r,r n-;I,

Miners in the city from Copper Basin yesterday reported strike at the Commercial, a ive-foot body of oXidized ore having been determined on the 250-foot level that will average over per cent in copper.
 Sufficient development has been performed to insure an immense ton mage, and driving the upraise goes ahead with indications that a still larger ore body is coming in.
 Along the 250 zone the mine also has better showing than ever known, and the situation as a whole at the present time is the best the company ever faced The manage ment IS reticent as to actual condi- tions. A report also is in circulation that deep sinking is under considera- ton. The output at the present time of the Commercial is about so tons per day, and is shipped to Clarkdale. Double that tonnage can easily be provided from new development in recent months, if teams can be sc- cured for hauling to the railroad.

ORE BODY OPENED IN THE
 BUTTERNUT
VEIN AS FEET WIDE OF AVERAGE VALUE OF 4 PER CENT COPPER IS UNCOVERED ON THE 300-FOOT LEVEL.

MAYER. Sept 26.-A most re markable body of high grade copper ore IS being opened into by the Big Ledge Copper Company at the But ternut mine two miles northwest of here. At depth of 300 feet, the vein is exactly 4S feet wide, the average value being per cent copper. At the 425 level. crosscut Is being run and so far, Is feet of the extension of the big vein on the 300, has been passed through and the value in cop per has increased to an average of 10 per cent Indications are that the vein will be found to be even wider at this 425 level than at the 300, for there is no indication that the cross cut has found the hanging wall The finding of this high. grade in such a large body settles the question of ton mage for the company's smelter in this camp, which is now to be rushed to completion. Dwight L. Wood bridge, the consulting engineer of the company, will arrive this week from Duluth. Plans are made for a large tonnage Notation mill at the Butter nut mine to handle the immense amount of milling ore that has already been developed in the upper work ings.
 The finding Of this large ore body in the Buttcrnut proves up an entire ly new camp in the Mayer district The Blue Bell mine, owned by the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Com pany, is stoping 40 feet of ore at the 1000 level and the Arizona Bingham ton and Copper Queen companies arc working on ore bodies of milling and high grade that will average better than l5 feet in width, at levels above the 400. These mines are in separate camps and they have very much the same ore, being principally a chal- copyrite with some chalcocite on the lower levels. This whole section is now receiving the attention of big capital for it has been proven thor oughly that the bodies of ore in the Yavapai schist have great depth and increase in width and value. Mining men who have been here the past few days, are thoroughly interested in the development of the copper ore bodies in this district
 Drifting will begin In few days al the new 1,200-foot level in the Blue Bell mine. The shaft has been sunk 200 feet deeper from the 1000 level It IS expected that the big bodies of ore that are now furnishing close tc 300 tons of ore daily for the Hum boldt shelter. will be encountered al this new level Considerable chalco- cite has been coming in to the ore al the 1000 level recently which gives reason to believe that higher grade of ore will be found at the l,200 level

AS SILVER COMES BACK
 so DOES THE ZERO
(Erom Wednesdays DaiIvN

A. C. Gilmore and ]. C. Bradbury. who are reviving the old Zero silver group, said yesterday that indications are decidedly encouraging as develop ment progresses. Associated with them IS a close syndicate of Prescott mining men, and it was in anticipation of the market price reaching its pres ent quotation in silver that work was started a few months ago, to drive a tunnel north of the old workings. which is now nearing completion.
 A ruby silver condition was tapped short time ago, but the best show ing was determined but recently in a galena condition coming in, car rying values in silver which are char acteristic of the high grade product in the original workings which gave to this property a conspicuous rating.
 MT. Gilmore. while quite optimistic over the property, also stated yester- day that the Perry. which adjoins on the north and IS on the same Assure, IS making remarkable showing.
 They also report several movements as crystallizing in that field by which other defunct silvers are soon to wheel into action, while the atmosphere as a whole would indicate that the era is fast approaching when the slogan Of 10 to l" was rampant throughout the Western mining country, only to be put to sleep to awaken a quarter of century later.

OVER THE RANGE GOES ANOTHER
 PIONEER
A. D. WHALEY, WHO DIS TINGUISHED HIMSELF AS A COURIER OF GENERAL MILES PASSES AWAY IN PRESCOTT YESTERDAY.
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

Throughout all sections of the Southwest regret will be expressed when it IS learned that A. D. Whaley, prominently known Arizona pioneer, has passed away, his death occurring yesterday at the Pioneers Home in this city, after lingering illness.
 This valiant old-timer bore a con- spicuous name during the Geronimo Indian troubles, and his gallantry was such that Nc was chosen by General Nelson A. Miles as his courier during that campaign, when the Apache chieftain was finally subdued. Mir Whaley performed a dangerous duty, at times even invading the domain where this Indian loitered, as we'll did he carry dispatches to scattered com mands which extended into the Sierra Madre wilderness of Mexico. In some of his exploits he was shot at several times, and in one instance was badly wounded, but he invariably returned to headquarters, earning the name of an intrepid man.
 The deceased was a miner by voca- ton, and first came to Prescott in 1869, leaving later for the old Vulture mining camp near Wickenburg, where he worked for few years. When the Wickenburg Indian massacre occurred in 1872, he was in Southern Arizona, and offered his services to take the field in pursuit of the Apache. There is one matter of exceptional interest to be linked to this man in his keen observation of any locality, wherein he remembered every landmark, and there is not region in the south but what at one time or another he had not visited. He knew every water hole along the boundary. and in one instance 1t IS reported, saved the lives of scouting party as they were pre- pairing to drink from d poisoned pool.
 Mir. Whaley finally located in Co., chise county, acquiring a large acre age and few head of cattle ''I got to going all right. but the big con cerns came along, and forced me to sell out for 9 trifling sum; I went broke later and came back on the old trail to Prescott to be with other Hassayampers to the cnd," was his manner of expressing himself to friends.
 The deceased had reached the ripe age of S3 years, and was born in Ru- dolph county, Georgia. Not a mem Der of his family survives. He was the first born and the last to go.

GIVES UP GOOD JOB
 TO GO AS A PRIVATE

FLORENCE, Sept. 25.-John Nc Kittrick Redmond, secretary of the Arizona State prison at Florence. has rendered his resignation to Governor Thomas F.. Campbell and is leaving shortly to join the quartermaster's department.
 Coming from a long line of fighting ancestors, it was but natural for Jack Redmond to try to join Uncle, Sans forces when war first broke out. His grandfather, Captain w. H. Mckit- trick, served in both the Mexican and Civil wars, and lost his life in the charge on Fort Gilmore while leading Company (, 18th regiment, New York infantry, of which company he was the commander. His uncle, Cap tain w. II. McKittrick, who has large interests in this State, fought through the Spanish-Amcrican war and had the honor of hoisting the Stars and Stripes at Santiago, Cuba. Captain McKittrick was the son-in-law of the late General William II. Shafter
 Unfortunately an accident to Jacks right eye some years ago led to his rejection from the officers training camp and even for enlistment as private. Continued pressure, how ever, finally brought its reward and Mir. Redmond will achieve his ambi- ton to wear khaki for he has been ordered to join the quartermaster's department at Douglas, from which post he is to be transferred to his or ganization in the field.
 Jack Redmond's 20 years in Ari- zona have made him we'll known. He was a delegate to the National Pro, gressive convention at Chicago in 1912 and, before that, had served two years in the Arizona Territorial ran gers. He was also for several years first lieutenant in Company NJ, First Arizona infantry. When the Roose- welt division of volunteers was first proposed, Mir. Redmond was selected to be one of the Arizona officers in that body but, upon its rejection, he was obliged to change his plans and ambitions with the result that he is now giving up lucrative position to become a private, giving up wife and home for his country-an example of pure patriotism that bespeaks the na- ture of his manhood.

We were escorted 10 the local Harvey House, where a wonderful breakfast awaited us. Up on finishing the meal, the members of the Red Cross presented each man with ''goodie box" which contained fruit, candy, tobacco, postcards and other desirable articles. We left Winslow at 10 in the morning and our next stop was at Gallup, N. M., where we had another swell repast We left that town at l0:30, and our next stopping place was Albuquerque Here a large table had been prepared, seating 100 persons, and we certainly enjoyed the feast At the close of the meal, we all rose and sang Arizona, My Arizona" and got back on the train again. We spent the evening singing and playing cards, and retired to our berths late in the evening. We were at Trinidad, Colo, in time for breakfast, and at this place we had the best meal since leaving Winslow. Some of the items on the menu which I remember are escalloped eggs, Premium bacon and French chops.
 We got to La Junta at lunch time and were served a chicken dinner at the H. H. All of the fellows are rav- ing about the good uncle" they have, and are all proud to be lined up to fight for him. The boys arc looking
