The Notation plant at that place is operated by electricity furnished from the Fossil Creek plant. The water 10 operate the Notation cells is taken from the old Tiger shaft by an electric pump.

 Tn some way. possibly by light ming. the insulaGon on one of the taps in the compensation. had been burned out and allowed the starting box as well as the wire-tripping de- vice to become charged with electric itv. The various men in the mill had been using this wire device for about TWO weeks. with no i'll effects to any >,ne of them. and all were greatly surprised and puzzled when Law renee was almost instantly killed in ,he. usual performance of his duty.

 Camp Mills, New York,
 August G, 1918. Dear Mother
 We reached Camp Mills, Long Is- land. at daybreak this morning. We left Camp Kearny. the morning of July 30, just a weel; ago today, SO you see we had quite trip.
 The first stop on our journey across U. s. was at San Barnardino Here the Red Cross served us punch and cookies and everyone seemed glad to see us. Our next stop was at Barstow. It was dark when we got there but just the same we were met by lively crowd.
 From Barstow we took the Los Angeles and Salt Lake line which cheated us out of a trip through Ari- zona. July 3l saw us in Caliente, Nevada, where We were held up v hours on account of wreck.
 We reached Salt Lake City, Utah. August l. and the people here were surely grand to us. They are cer- ,aiuly a patriotic bunch. Ogden, Utah, 50 miles from Salt Lake. gave us just as fine a reception. We ap- prcciatcd the interest they took in Us and ii made our trip SO much more pleasant.
 We passed through southern Wyou.ing on the L. P line August I. It is sure fine grazing country. reached Chcycnc August ? and stop ped for physical exercise. We pass cd through little strip of northeast crn Colorado, Sterling being the only town oi importance that we saw.
 We came to Nebraska, August }. It is a great corn and wheat state fields as far as one can see. I'm not afraid of starving when Uncle Sam's gardens are looking so fine. Omaha, Nebraska. is a lively town. think everyone must have been down to wish us good luck and a happy re- turn. We had a bath here and never was a good shower more appreciated.

Aug. p It has heen rumored during the last few days that, owing to tribal feuds among the Hopi Indians, the famous snake dance would be abandoned this year. and many inquiries have been received from tourists and others anxious to attend this event as to when it would take place. if at all.
 It seems that the Indians are as tcmpcrmental as many of their white brothers. and they set the date large ly as the mood strikes them. However has been received from no less a parsonage than "El Capitan' of the Hopi tribe. that the dance posi- lively will take place on August 25. at Toreva, in the Hopi Indian rcser- vatiOn.
 The disagreements have been patched I'D and will not interfere with this interesting annual event, and "El Capitau" himself will be one of the performers, so that those planning 10 make the trip to the reservation will not be disappointed.

JEROME VERDE TO SHIP
 AGAIN NEXT MONTH

JEROME, Aug. 2l. - Shipments from the Maintop orc body of the Jerome Verde are to be resumed about the middle of next month Production will be at the rate of ap- proximately twenty tons a day.
 The raise from the ll00-foot level 10 connect with the raise driven from the 900 up into the orc is now com plete and station is being cut at the 1000. This station is now complete and the ore bins of 100 tons capacity. now under construction near the col lar of the Columbia shaft. must be completed before production can be resumed.
 Tramming will be entirely through Jerome Verde ground and the ore will be hoisted through the Columbia shaft. The Jerome Transfer com pany has the contract to freight 1t from the new bins down to Clarkdale. ;he shipping point. Freighting will be over the present roads as no new road is to be built by the Jerome Verde company.
 When the Maintop ore was dis covered, the latter part of last year, the Jerome Verde had a hoiSting con- tract with the U. V. Extension The ore was simply trammed over to the Edith shaft, hoisted there and sent down to the V. T. & g. railroad over the Extension tramway Since then the Columbia shaft has been con- nectcd with the Maintop workings around the northeast corner of the Extension territory: tracks have been laid and ore is to be trammed down to the Columbia entirely through Jer- ome Verde ground. The distance is about $500 feet
 The company's intention is to pros Dect from the l.0C0-foot station, now being cut. the territory lying under the Maintop orc The raise itself was kept out of the mineralized area and it is possible that the body ex- tends downward from the 900 for some distance.
 Owing to water and soft ground, slow progress is being made in the drift being run to cut the pyrite zone recently ;nterSectcd by the diamond drill in the country northeast of the Columbia shaft. Much timbering is necessary. Diamond drilling is going forward the same as usual but no dis covcries of importance have been made since the existence of the pyrite zone mentioned above was determin- ed

LYLE ABBOTT NOW PROBABLY ON THE
 FRCNT IN FRANCE
From Wednesdays Dailvl

That Lieut.. Lyle Abbott former rifv editor of the Journal-NIiner, is now in France, or about to disem- bark there. seems quite probable. Sev- eral weeks ago he was placed in charge of detachment of infantry from Camp Travis, San Antonio. Texas. which was transported to the Eastern coast. IL was expected by his wife that he would return to San Antonio. on Sunday, August 4, but he has not returned up 10 a week ago. The significant feature attending hlS departure is that he was ordered to pass physical examination. The re- suit was that he stood 100 per cent, pr perfect. The deduction, under the circumstances. is that he was sub iected to the examination with a view of determining his availability on the firing line, before he left San Antonio. If if should be true that Mir. Abbott is in France or cn route there, he is a happy man, for ii was his ambi- tion to go 10 the front. Up to the ,infe of his departure, Abbott was adiutant 10 the commanding officer. and had been recommended for cap taincv. Several weeks ago he was of fcrcd the position of military instruc- tor at a large salary at the University of Arizona at Tucson. but upon the advice of his commanding officer. he turned down the offer Mir. Abbott is young man who IS destined to make his mark in this world, for he ie just as perfect morally as he IS physically. and inc is gifted with more ,liar the average modicum of brains. The Tournal-Niner is proud Of him not only because of his manliness and sterling traits of character, but particularly because he enlisted Tn 'hc army voluntarily without being 1~qfted. although he could have been cxcmpted on account of having a roung wife at the time.
