To
Be RELIEVED
BY TREVINO

Ell PASO, Texas, March 2O.-Gen-
eral Jacinto B. Trevino, former COM
mander of the northeastern military
zone at Chihuahua City, will probably
succeed General Aware Obregon as
minister of war and navy on May 1,
when the resignation of General Obre-
gon becomes effective, according to
FL Heraldo Del Norte, the official
Carranza paper published in Chihua-
hua City, copy of which was brought
here today.
The probable appointment of Gen
eral Trevino has caused renewal of
the rumors that General Obregon
would lead a new political movement
after he retires from office. Accord
ing to local Mexican politicians here,
General Trevino is Carranza's favorite
general and was retained in the north
against Obregon's protest. General
Francisco Murguia, they say, is 0bre-
CONS favorite fighter, having assist
ed him to defeat Villa at Celaya.
Arrivals from Chihuahua City say
Murguia could be counted upon to con-
troll the north for Obregon should a
new alignment take place and say
the sending of large bodies of Yaqui
Indian troops to Chihuahua from So
nora, which state is openly favorable
to Obregon, is a part of a general
plan to gain control of the two north
ern states.
An American from Chihuahua City
said an agent of General Obregon ar
rived in Chihuahua City Saturday to
confer with Murguia and added that
the arrest of Alberto Diaz, customs
collector in Juarez, was the result of
a report of conditions in the north
which was sent to Carranza.

SHIPPING SHARES FIRM

BERLIN, March 15.-The relative
ly firm tone of German shipping
shares during the past few months is
explained by the announcement that
the government is preparing to place
large credits at the disposal of the
German shipping companies. These
credits, operating over long term
of years at moderate interest rates,
are intended to enable the companies
to respond quickly to postwar de-
mands.

MONUMENT TO COL.
CODY TO STAND ON
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN

DENVER, Colo, March 20.-High
up on Lookout Mountain, near here,
overlooking the four states which wit
messed his greatest activity, a monu-
ment to Colonel William F. Cody
Buffalo Bill-now seems assured, &C
cording to announcement of the Cody
Memorial Association. The associa-
ton says that several other organiza-
tons already have undertaken the col
lection of funds for the monument.
The spot on the mountain top where
the famous plainsman is to find his
last resting place already has been ap-
proved by the family. This approval
has stimulated the coordination of all
efforts to obtain a sufficient fund to
construct a monument worthy of the
scout who helped to open up the vast
territory west of the Mississippi river.
The formal burial ceremonies will
take place on next Memorial Day,
when the body will be borne from here
to the rock-hewn tomb on the top of
the mountain. 1t will be buried with
the full ritualistic service by the
Knights Templar.
The proposed monument, according
to tentative plans, is to be cut out of
solid grants hewn from the forma-
ton on Lookout mountain. It is to
cnoform to the painting of the late
scout by the artist Pappacini. This
showns Colonel Cody on the beloved
white charged, scanning the horizon,
the hand uplifted, the body slightly
bent forward.
1t is proposed to so place the monu-
ment that the figure seems to be look
ing out over the vast stretches of
plains into the four states of Colorado,
Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas
which witnessed most of not all of
Buffalo Bills exploits. On a clear
day spectators are able to recognize
objects in all four states.
The site on Lookout Mountain is
1000 feet above Denver, or virtually
a mile and half above sea level.
The monument would be reached over
Lariat train, used by the Indians in
crossing the Continental Divide.

GRADE OF SECOND
LIEUTENANT IN ARMY
OPEN TO CIVILIANS

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The
grade of second lieutenant in the Of
ficers Reserve Corps of the army has
been thrown open by Secretary Baker
to men without any military exper-
fence whatever, provided they are
physically and mentally adapted to
military life. An urgent plea has
been sent out to men between 81 and
80 years all over the country to send
in applications for commissions with
assurances that the army will supply
after enrolment the military training
necessary to fit them for duty.
Under the National Defense Act,
the corps should be able to furnish Of
ficers for a force of 100000 volun-
teers in war time and also serve as a
reservoir from which additional Of
ficers for the regular army could be
drawn at need. Less than 1000 men
have been given reserve commissions
in the line, despite the fact that the
law has been in operation for more
than eight months. Applications are
coming clowly and army officers are
using every means in their power to
attract young men to this service as a
patriotic duty.
There appears to be no lack of men
desiring to serve in the staff corps
reserve, such as the engineer corps,
the quartermasters division and the
medical service. Enough commissions
in these corps have been issued to
provide the special arms for a million
troops. 1t is fighting men who are
lacking, line officers who may look for
service at the front in time of war.
Army officers believe the failure to
fill up this reserve is due only to lack
of information as to the requirements,
for it is the fighting lines that are
attractive to young men in wartime.
Eventually the Reserve Officers
Training Corps, composed of units at
universities, schools and colleges, will
provide more than 5000 men a year,
it is estimated, for reserve commits
sions. The first fruits of this scheme
for educating reserve officers, how
ever, will not come until 1918 and then
not more than 5000 junior officers
can be expected to be turned into the
reserve. In all probability many of
these will be required for regular
army commissions, reducing the re-
serve strength by that much.
The law prescribes that no man
shall be commissioned in the reserve

CALUMET AND
JEROME SHAFT
GAINING DEPTH
By William P. De Wolf

PRESCOTT, Arizona, March 90
Early May is the time set for the dis
covery of a second body of copper ore
in the Calumet and Jerome workings,
recently the scene of a strike of 4 per
cent copper at nominal depth. The
strike referred to is a continuation of
a deposit encountered at a correspond
ing depth in the United Verde Exten-
sion workings, but is not the main
copper ore body from which the Ex-
tension people are mining high grade.
The latter, in the opinion of Ben
jamin Gillies, consulting engineer for
the C. and J., will be encountered at
an approximate depth of 1000 feet.
Mr.. Gillies is also of the opinion that
a large and valuable body of copper
will be found at depth of about 500
feet, and expects to have the C. and J..
three-compartment shaft sunk to that
level by not later than the first week
in May. Should Mr. .Gillies' mineral
ogical deductions prove correct, which
is decidedly probable, the Calumet and
Jerome ground carries three separate
copper ore bodies of value.
At the time of his recent examina-
ton of the Calumet and Jerome prop
erty, made in the interests of the
Lewisohns, owners of substantial in
terest therein, Mr.. Gillies traced the
strike of the great Haynes north and
south fault through the Remington
claim of the Calumet and Jerome es-
tate. This fault is the great ore max
er of the Jerome field. 1t is the fault
which split and largely enriched the
United Verde Extension vein, and is
the fault after which the Haynes Cop
per, now the Jerome Victor Extension
property, was named. The Victor EX-
tension ground lies against the hang
ing wall of the Haynes fault. Near
by the line of the Victor Extension es-
tate the United Verde Copper COM
pany has entered large and valuable
body of copper ore. The pitch of this
ore body is toward Victor Extension
ground, and all of the meteorological
indications favor its continuation
through the Victor Extension estate.
Contributory evidence to that end is
presented in the United Verde Exten-
sion and the Calumet and Jerome pro-
perties.
Investors in mining shares here at
Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1917-03-24

Jerome and throughout Arizona in
general are watching with more than
ordinary interest the development Of
the estate of the Jerome Copper com
pany, and the progress of the plans
for financing the corporation. E. A.
Kastner, president, and Homer King,
consulting engineer and managing di-
rector of the company, are now in New
York City for the purpose of securing
funds for development purposes and
arranging for the listing of Jerome
Copper company shares on the New
York Curb. The company has the
financial backing of prominent Cana
dams, including several influential
members of the Canadian parliament,
and through their agency, Messrs.
Kastner and King, have been enabled
to interest New Workers in the enter
prise. Local investors in mining
shares are prepared to take over sub
stantial blocks of the initial offering
of Jerome Copper, as the property is
located in the heart of the proven cop
per belt at Jerome, and has one of
the best copper ore showings at NOM
inal depth in that famous section.
In chronicle of mining news of the
Jerome field it is never amiss to men
ton that phenomenon among copper
mines, the United Verde Extension.
It may be that the following data con-
corning Verde Extension is not alto
gether fresh news to the reader, but,
like a good story, news about the
Verde Extension is always worth re-
peating. The Verde Extension man
agement states there are 100000
tons of 16 per cent copper ore in sight
in the mine. During 1916 the proper
ty produced 36,40O,0OO pounds of cop
per from but 80,159 tons of ore. Which
means the ore had a general average
grade of 22.7 per cent copper to the
ton. In addition it carried 1.62
ounces of silver to the ton. Net pro-
fits during 1916 were $6,938,000. Tran
sportation charges on the ore approx
mated S1,2O0,00O, or about 100000
per month, owing to the fact that a
lack of smelling facilities locally ne
cessitated shipping the ore to outside
ore reduction points. The custom
smelling charges were another heavy
tax on the ore. The total production
had value of S9,981 900.
The foregoing facts and figures
about the United Verde Extension
mine may be accepted as indicative
of the potentialities of other proper
ties in the famous Jerome copper belt.
1t is, however, not to be inferred from
the before-mentioned data that the
embryoic mines of that locality are as
a class United Verde Extensions in
the making, for the Verde Extension
is a marvel among copper mines and
has but a single peer, the celebrated
Bonanza mine of Alaska. 1t may be
inferred, though, that as the open

without having passed examination.
The war department has realized that
lack of previous military experience
of any kind is probably preventing
young men past their collegs days
from making application. For thai
reason every effort has been made to
make it known throughout the coun-
try that military experience is not re-
quired. Men will be commissioned
who have never worn a uniform or
faced drill sergeant. The army will
gladly undertake to furnish those who
are otherwise suitable with the neces-
sary professional training after they
have entered the service.
This applies, however, only to the
grade of second lieutenant. First
lieutenants, captains and majors must
show previous military experience to
earn their commissions. The heavy
responsibilities for the care of troops
that goes with such grades necessi-
tates this restriction.
Applicants for second ieutenants
commissions are being assured that
every opportunity will be given them
after enrolment in that grade to ad-
vance themselves to higher rank.
The department has appealed to
young men who care to offer their
services to apply without delay to the
commander of the military depart
ment in which they live for necessary
papers and information. Letters should
be addressed to The Commanding
General, Eastern Department, Cover
nors Island, N. Y, Central Depart
ment, Chicago, Ills, Southern Depart
ment, San Antonio, Texas or Western
Department, San Francisco, Cal. They
will receive prompt attention and ar
engagements for the examination of an
applicant will be made to suit his con-
venience as nearly as possible.
To those who receive commissions,
the summer training camps of the
army will be open and they will re-
ceive travel allowances and pay that
will be more than offset any expense
to which they may be put. Only a
simple field uniform is required for
reserve officers, involving little ex-
pense, and the government assumes
this cost also eventually.
In wartime reserve officers would
be required to report for duty either
in person or by letter, as he may di-
rect, to the commanding general of
the department in which they reside.
They will be assigned to regular or
volunteer regiments, as the occasion
warrants, and when called out will re-
ceive the full pay and allowances of
their grade in the regular service.

Easy Jail Methods.

The greatest leniency is shown to
criminals in New Zealand Thus in
one Jail at the end Of the South is
land q prisoner may keep a race horse
and is permitted to transact business
concerning it. In the same Jail well
behaved prisoners are allowed an after
noon out occasionally.
Prison authorities In New Zealand
are believers in the moral effects of
open air. In one Of their institutions
the newly arrived misdemeanant is al
lowed the choice Of living In jail or
outside 1t, tents being erected at the
back. This system Of sending people
to jail by letting them live outside has,
however, its disadvantages. In one
case the prisoners" resenting harsh
treatment In the way of a lockout"
lifted up the "jail' and deposited it
far away In the bush.
