In the Columbia shaft workings much mineralized ground containing traces of copper has been exposed, but no ore is yet available. These workings are SC situated that a large area of extremely interesting ground can be explored during the coming year. and the belief is that the mineralization in this vicinity strongly indicates the presence of an ore body in this DOT ton of the property.
 Patriotic Work
 In all of the big drives which have been made in Yapavai county for war work, the mining companies have al ways lent their aid and support. The state Of Arizona must raise S5.0OO. 900 in the thrift stamp saving campaign, and of this amount $35O, 900 worth must be bought in Yavapai county. Acting upon the suggestion of the president of the chamber of com merce. the Arizona Power company, which supplies power for practically all of the mines in Yapavai county, and the United Verde and the United Verde Extension, the Binehampton. Consolidated Arizona. Randolph-Gem- mill and many other companies have asked their employees to set aside a certain sum each month from their wages for the purchasing of stamps. l Thousands of dollars are thus being raised For the month of January the United Verde employees bought s74S5 worth of war savings stamps, while the other companies also made record showings-
 The old Dos Oris mine. together with the BEzzard and Raven. located approximately 14 miles from Prescott | in Yavapai county. were taken over by J. B.

BErmister, at one time a prominent merchant of Pres colt, but now retired In 1885 these mines suspended operations. due mainly to company troubles in which ] litigation followed for years after wards The Dos Oris was rated in ! the long ago as the prince of silver mines in Yavapai county, and justly sustained this reputation while it was active, which with limited develop ment in two years yielded in the neighborhOOd of $16e.000. and during ! the operation of the Buzzard and Ra ! ven some S3O.O00.

PROMOTION PLAN IS
 DEALT HARD KNOCKS
 BY MARICOPA JUDGE
Sitting in Jerome Portland Case Jurist Orders Returned to Company Large Block of Stock.
Special to the Reviewl

PHOENIX. Ariz. Feb. 22.-Judue Frank II. Lyman Of this city, sitting as a special judge in the Yavanai county superior court during the trial of the suit which the stockholders of the Jerome-Portiani Copper company had instituted against A. B. Frame. on last Saturday handed down a de cision which it is expected will have Q far-resching effect and will tend to definitely clear up the question as to how far 8 promoter may go in the matter Of securing stock in the com pany he represents. It Is. the opinion of lawyers and mining men generally that the ruling of Judge Lyman in the YaTapai case will have the effect Of stopping the common practice oi promoters securing large blocks of the stock through the machinations oi dummy directorates. by voting the shares 10 themselves for some ima- mary services or for some other con. alterations of doubtful value.
 The JerOme-POrtland case was the first of its kind to be brought under the provision of the state constitu. ton. which expressly prohibits a cor poration from disposing of its stock to any one except bona fide subsc-i bers who pay for the shares either by cash or through the performance O. some legitimate services.
 In tse Jerome-Portlsnd Copper company case. which had been insti tuted against A. B. Frame, Judge Ly man handed down 8 decision can ceiling the 469.900 shares of tho treasury stock which the defendant ' held in tte company and directing a Prescott banking concern which held the shares in escrow to deliver tAe shares over to the receiver of the company for restoration to the com pany's treasury.
 Judge Lyman's decision terminated one of the hardest fought and mos spectacular mining suits ever threshed out in the courts Of Arizona and has tbe effect or pra tically put ing the financial affairs of the i JerOme-Portland company back or the same plane as existed befor, Frame, the promoter. succeeded iI getting the company almost hopeless ly snarled in a tangle of legal contro versy.

WRECK STORY roo DEEP
 FOR YOUTHS ATTORNEY

OLYMPIA: Attorney Will H. Plum mer, of Spokane, was visitor at the public service commission yesterday. seeking information of a wreck re- ported to him by a young man, but of which wreck no record can be found. The young man told a story of his father, an engineer on the Northern Pacific railway was killed while a train was detouriDg over the Great Northern tracks in Eastern Washing ton. The boy said he accompanied tho remains east for burial and thinking his father left some insurance started an investigation and engaged Attor- ney Hummer to assist him. The Northern Pacific knows nothing of such wreck and finds that it has an engineer of the same name, but with different initials in it's employ. He wasn't killed as he is still working. Attorney Hummer says he doesn't know what to make of it, and Secre- tary J. H. Brown of the public ser vice commission declares he doesn't { know how to help him out.
