REAP HARVEST
PARADE DAYS
Arrest Of Five Suspects Fails
to Curb "Crime Wave" on
Arrival of Ak.Sar. Ben
Crowd.

Carnival dips were active during
the two parade days this week, as
is evidenced by the number of re-
ports received at Central station. Up
10 an early hour this morning, six
persons reported that they had
been "frisked" by pickpockets.
They are Charles r. Westbrook,
of Comstock, Neb., stopping at the
Merchants hotel, who was relieved
of $50, at Fifteenth and Farnam
streets, last night; Tony Abott,
2426 South Fifteenth street, report
cd that his purse containing So, was
taken from him in Swenson Bros.
store. while he was working there in
the early evening; G. A. Grimes.
39l7 Arbor street, reported $40
taken from his person, while on
street car last night; Dwight Fritts,
1906 Spring street, reported a wal
lei containing SIS, taken from him
while on carnival grounds last
night, and J. B. Young, 2420 Parker
street, reported his watch and reg
istration card "picked' from his per-
son while witnessing the electrical
parade.
Part of St. Paul Mob"
c. A. Heaton, 20l3 Leavenworth
street, reported yesterday that $50
in bills, receipt from the Omaha
Gas company, and also one from
the Omaha Van and Storage COM
pany. were taken from his person
downtown Wednesday night.
AS the above described papers
correspond with those found on
Dave Mcbride of St. Paul, Mimi,
arrested at Fifteenth and Farnam
streets Wednesday night, police are
convinced he is the party who went
through Heaton's pockets. Nc
Bride also had about $3.50 in cur
rency concealed in inner pockets,
and there is little doubt in the opin-
ion of police that Heaton's roll rep
resents part of that amount.
Arrested with Mcbride at the time
was lsidore Wasser. also of St.
Paul. who, it is believed, was work
ing in the crowd at Fifteenth and
Farnam with him. Wasser had $50
when searched.
Both men appear to be expert

lice, and it is believed they belong
to a gang which has swooped down

SHANNON EXPECTS TO OPEN NEW PRODUCERS
 WITHIN SHORT TIME

Considering the fact that operations were practically suspended for five months out of last year due to a strike shannon Copper Company's annual statement showing earnings for the outstanding $3,OO0, 900 capital stock of 62 cents a share cannot be considered otherwise than satisfactory. Coming at an inopportune time. the strike not only prevented any profits. but cost the company in addition slightly more than S104.000.
 It is an unfair comparison to com pare last years profits with those of the preceding year. for although Shan non was not immune from strike in 1916, the loss in the latter year was under $1O,000 Moreover. operations last year were for practically seven months, although November contribut- ed 14S.OO0 pounds to production as com pared with normal production before the strike of over 900,000 pounds.
 Total copper production for last year of 6,13S.219 pounds was a de- crease of 3,226,749 when compared with that of 1916, while silver output of 51,77I ounces recorded a drop of 1116f. While production was lower the price received for its copper av- eraged more than a cent higher than in 1916. with silver substantially above seven cents.
 Last year Shannon paid out to stock holders total of s1.75 per share in dividends, three distributions of 50 cents and one of 25 cents amounting to S525.00O In view of the results for the past year. stockholders were liber- ally rewarded. This was due to the fact that the surplus of previous years allowed this amount. although profits for the year were ionly s1S4.967.
 For the month Of January profits amounted to more than $29,000 with copper costs totsling 20 1-2 cents a pound. The new properties which the company recently acquired at cost of approximately s200,OO0 will he con tributing soon as it is expected that within a few months ore will be ship ped from these new sources.

JEROME COPPER MINE. SUSPENDS WORK WITH
 NO DATE TO RESUME

JEROME, March. 90. = Operations have been definitely suspended by the General Development company at the Jerome Copper company's property and probably will not be resumed.
 Superintendent Flyn has laid off his entire crew and Is. squaring all local accounts. preparatory to taking his permanent departure from the district His personal plans for the future are indefinite but he will probably return to Miami, where he was employed by the LewissoIn interests before he was sent to Jerome. It is possible, how ever. that he will enlist in the engi- neering corps of the army and go to France.
 Since last August when the General Development company closed it's deal for ths Jerome Copper cofnpanys hold ings. Superintendent Flynn has done 175O feet of work at the Hoker and Ewing group. some three miles south of Jerome. The results have been dis appointing.
 A crosscut tunnel was driven to in tersect at a depth of approximately ,5OO, fleet a promising contact. or. shear ed zone. The showing. at that oeptn was no better than that on the surface so the Lewissohns, who are behind the General Development company. decided to drop the attempt to mako "a mine there.
 Superintendent Flynn'ss personal opinion is that if the Green Monster or some other company in that vicinity 0npnS a u1inp if may he worth while to sink to depth on the Hooker and Ewing. claims. The showing Is one that we would pay, little attention to in any other district. but our. opinion was that it might mean a. great deal here, in view of what has been dis closed at the United Verde and United Verde Extension" he explained.
 The Jerome CoQper company.s prop erty includes the Hooker and Ewing group of four claims and a fraction and eleven claims in the Bib Bug dis trict, below the Arizona Binghampton.

GREEN CANANEA HAS
 BRIGHT OUTLOOK IN
 FUTURE PRODUCTION

Green Cananea Copper Co. is look ing forward to lcng period of sue cessful operation in Mexico. Every thing is running smoothly at the prop erty; there is an abundance of Mexi- can labor; and, barring further inter- ruptions there is no reason why the company should not give a good ac- count of itself this year.
 The present governor of the state of Sonora has shown a commendable willingness to cooperate with the com pany in its efforts to. conduct opera tions at 100 per cent capacity. Fur thermore, he has shown in more ways than enc that he is in complete cen trol of the situation in that part of Mexico. Marauding bands no longer threaten to devastate American-owned properties and mining operations have received big impetus.

 Heavy rains the first of the week again delayed the transportation of ore to the mill but two. trucks started haul ing on Thursday and the mill will start up as soon as the bins are filled. This work will require but few days more and the mill should be in operation by April l. If the value of the ore contin- ues as good as the present showing the output will run much higher than estimated by the company.
 The increased size of the orebody. which is twice the width that shows on the 500 level, and the high grade of the ore. indicate that an ore body of generous proportions may reasonably be expected below the $50 foot level; in fact, there is every reason to expect Gold Ore to develop into big mine
