VERDE SQUAW SINKS
 SHAFT WITH ITS
 NEW EQUIP MEN I
DELAY IN DELIVERY OF HEAD
 FRAME CAUSED DEVELOPMENT WORK TO BE HELD UP TO GREAT EXTENT, BUT THIS HAS
 BEEN RECEIVED, WORK BEGUN

The new plant of the Verde Squaw is reported to be in full operation and the shaft going down at the rate of five feet a day.
 With the exception of the timbers for the head frame, all the new equip ment was received several weeks ago. For some reason the timbers, which were framed in Los Angeles, were delayed until this week. They have now been freighted down from Clark dale, however, and the head frame, which will be forty-two feet high over all. is being set up.
 The new plant includes a 9xS In- gersoll-Rand compressor driven by a 30-hOrsepOwer Western engine, and a 40-horsepOwer hoist, together with all necessary drills, air pipe and other equipment
 The company also has an Ingersoll- Rand Imperial compound compressor for use when water is encountered This compressor will drive a No. Cameron sinking pump. already pur' chased, and is capable of handling a No. 2.

GADSDEN STOCK IN
 DEMAND RECENTLY
 IN THIS DISTRICT
SUDDEN AND UNPRECEDENTED CALL FOR SHARES IN JEROME PROPERTY FOLLOWS NEWS OF DRIFTING ON -120o FOOT LEVEL, STARTED RECENTLY

An unprecedented demand for stock in the Gadsden company at Jerome, which is largely owned and controlled by local people, has started rumOrs of impending announcements con- corning recent development in the pro perty During the last ten days the activity has been marked and the de mand for the stock has grown con. stantly.
 News received here from Jerome is that the Gadsden having reached the 1900 foot level now is drifting with the expectation of developing territory contiguous to the shaft So good re- ports are to be expected shortly, it is rumored here.
 The Gadsden is almost entirely a Cochise county proposition, financed chiefly among residents of Bisbee and Douglas. Its officers and directors are almost all local men.
 A recent article in a Jerome news paper says:
 Stations are being cut on the 1900 foot level in the Gadsden shaft and crOsscutting westward toward the contact will be under way in few days
 The shaft was sunk to a depth o. 1230 feet but the lower thirty feet will be used for a stump. A shaft station fifty feet long by twenty wide is being cut on the side of the shaft at the 1900 and a pump sta tiOn. 45x21, is to be at the end.
 Cutting of the stations is likely to be a slow process as the shaft is bottomed in the first heavy ground encountered at the Gadsden It is pOrphyry and schist, with some quartz and no diorite Hematite and manganese are shot through the mass; now and then a Heck of bor- nite shows.
 No better showing was expected in the shaft In fact the indications are even better than were hoped for At 500 feet the shaft passed through material carrying some bornite; al 1000 there was both chalcopyrite and bornite
 In all probability the contact will be cut from 1900 to 2OOO feet wes' of the 1900 station. IL is entirely possible that important discoveries will be made before the contact is reached, however.

hereafter will be larger than has been employed heretofore.
 Nothing more in the way of a water system could be desired than that which the Verde Squaw company has just installed. It includes two tanks with a combined capacity of 7J0O gallons. The supply is more than ample and as it comes from some dis tance up the mountainside the press ure is splendid.
 While awaiting the arrival of the head frame timbers the Verde Squaw people have been anything but idle. The shaft has been started and put down twenty-siX feet by hand through iron gossan that shows much copper stain.
 The shaft is just a little to the northeast of the Boulder winze, which at a depth of fifty feet below the sur face penetrated ore averaging per cent copper. Going down at the rate of five feet a day the shaft will soon be in the Boulder. ledge and the bet ting is better than even that where the ledge is cut it will be shipping ore That the Verde Squaw will be in shape to market ore by the first of 1919 is a conservative prediction.

YAYAPAI STANDS
 THIRD IN LIST STATES MINES
Recent Development Puts It Ahead lof All Except Co., chise and Cila in Matter of Assessed Valuation
(By P. R. Milnesl

PRESCOTT, Ariz.. September IA With the mentioning of the name of "Yavapai county, Arizona" today the names of the last two mines, not to cite others, are well known to thou sands of persons in the United States and Canada. One of these, the United Verde Extention has brought count less wealth to those, who a few years ago were wondering whether that little scrap of paper called stock, which they held in their possession would really be valuable. Little did they realize that the then mere prospect would develop, within a span of but two years, into mine producing 50.- O00.000 pounds of copper per year. The United Verde, is as important but not perhaps as interesting to the same number, iu view of the fact that with the exception of a few shares Of stock, the entire control is owned by Ex-S Senator W. A. Clark But it is still a matter of general information that the mountains of Yavapai are dotted with not yet famous mines, HRooCSoAllS do 6lCdL HUI HOSC4HAAA ties as were evidenced years ago by their now celebrated neighbors.

INSPIRATION
 PRODUCTION IS
 NINE MILLIONS
Showed no Variation From Preceding Month, But was 1,3OO,O0O Under June, the Years Record Month

InspiratiOns production for August of 9,000,O00 pounds showed no varia- ton from the preceding month. but was 1900 900 pounds below June, the record month for this year While this showing can not be called disappoint- ing it was generally exp ected that the company would be able to run up q total close to the high mark this year. Inspiration, however, is somewhat handicapped by the growing labor shortage and output for the rest of the year depends largely on whether addi- tional help can be secured.
 For the eight months production amounts to 67,75O,0O0 pounds as com pared with 67.40O.000 in the same per iod last year In July and August of last year, however. the company mines were closed down on account of labor troubles, no output being record ed. Directly as a result of the strike. production did not approach normal until March of this year. six months after operations were resumed.
 Since last March production has been proceeding satisfactorily. al though substantially below what the company is capable of. With the clos ing of the mines last year the com pany employees began to drift to other sections attracted by the prevailing wages.
 At the present rate of production, for the full year Inspiration should produce approximately 10l,000,0O0 pounds. This figure is expected to be increased as the first three months were well below the average. the total for the March quarter. being only l9,- 95O,OOO against 32.95O.OO0 in the cor responding period of last year. In the June quarter production approached normal 29.S00 900 pounds. being TO. ported against 34,450, 900 in the same three months of 1917
 Last year Inspiration reported pro duction of S0,15O,OOO pounds, and in 1916 when conditions were settled piled up 12O.793,SS: If the company maintains the output of August for the last four months the final total would be approximately l04.000.00O pounds.

San Xaxler Extension-In a report just issued President Ed c. Bush says: Outside of about twenty feet of cross-cutting on the 315-foot level south, our entire efforts for the month of May were applied to the northwest cross-cut on the 229-foot level in or der to cut the ore under the winzes. We are now shipping ore from this place. In addition to this ore body we encountered considerable zinc blend of a milling grade throughout diff ferent parts of the mine, the samples assaying from 20 to A per cent zinc. I believe this to be very important as-on account of its easy separation it can be made profitable by concer' trating."

Irish Convention Leaders
To Meet British Cabinet
Lloyd George Issues Invitation for Conference-Covern
ment May Force Settlement by Accepting Majority
Report if There Is Disagreement

LONDON, Jan. 24.--Premer Lloyd
George has invited the leading mem
bers Of the Irish convention to confer
with the Cabinet.
The following official communication
dealing with the Irish convention was
issued this evening:
"At to-day's Irish convention a letter
from the Premier was read, stating that
before the convention arrived ut de-
cision on certain issues under discus
sion he and his colleagues in the Cabi-
net would be happy to confer with the
leading representatives Of different
sections Of the convention, should they
desire to follow such Il course.
"Thereupon it was decided to ad-
journ the convention, and certain mem
bers we're selected to meet the Premier
and his colleagues.
"Sir Horace Plunkett. the chairman,
was authorized TO arrange the confer
ence at the earliest possible date and
Immediately thereafter to summon, the
convention"
In connection with the report Of the
Irish convention, which is expected
soon, The Associated Press learns that
there arc two outstanding feature.
which indicate a settlement Of the per-
picking question, whether or not the
conventions report is unanimous One
feature is the appreciation on the part
Of British statesmen that a settlement
must be reached for the sake of &C.
mentng further the friendship with
the United States, not only for the
period OF the war, but Cor the futre.
lhc other feature is that the British
public has become wearied by the pres
ent state Of affairs.
lt is pointed out that the war has
changed the whole problem Hitherto
the Irish question has been kept alive
by parties. but now there are no par
ties and all the leaders arc agreed Chat
il settlement is possible i, must be
reached.
Thus far there is no inkline what
the report of the convention will be.
but it is believed in responsible quar-
ters that the government will be pre-
pared to step into the breach and force
settlement if necessary.
