VERDE COMBINATION
 TO CONTINUE DRIVE
 INTO QUARTZ LEDGE

JEROME, April 13.-Sinking was re- sumed at the Verde Combination to- day ard the shaft, now 700 feet deep. will be put down 200 or 300 feet furth- CT. Manager Dave Morgan hopes to mainCain a speed of at least 100 feet month.
 His principal reason for sinking to greater depth is that he may explore highly interesting and promising quartz ledge which has been opened for some distance on the 700-foot level Icy drift No. 13, northwest.
 IT. the last few days that ledge. which varies from two to ten feet in width, has been showing a gratifying amount of chalcopyrite. Streaks and punches of real ore are frequently en- countered in the white quartz mass, sii of which shows evidences of leach CT the L. V. Extension ore body,
 An attempt was made to sink a wInze from No. 13 on some of the most promising quartz but it was aban jOned when down ten feet or so be- cause of the heavy flow of water. Now q raise has been started at a point where the chalcopyrite is particularly prominent.
 Manager MOrgan's monthly report shows that 730 feet of underground de. velopment was done in March. This compares with 63S feet in the short month of February.

GADSDEN NEAR POINT WHERE EXPLORATIONS
 WILL BE COMMENCED

Setter ground is being encountered in the Gadsden shaft. which is now down 96S feet The formation is schist quartz, quartz-porphry and jasper, car rying a little copper sulphide. more iron sulphide, and considerable man. ganese Superintendent J. K. Hooper will not predict when he win be down to le 1GOO-foot level and began cutting a pump station. The U. V. Extension has intimated that in short time it will need the big electric pump loaned to the C. & A. over a month ago and which is now in use on the S00-foot leYCl A pump is coming to replace 1t but it may be necessary to bail for a few days and that will slow up opera tions
 Whether drifting and crosscutting will lie started from the 1000-foOt level or not until the shaft has reached a depth of 1900 feet has not been decid- ed. Something definite in this connec- ton will probably be announced Tn rzc next few days.
 As the collar of the Gadsden shaft is mucl lower than that of the Edith shaft Of the U. " Extension, the 1OOO- foot station will actually be 90 feet below the 1300-foot level at the Exten- sion

 Each county council has an execu- tive committee, comprising the chair man, secretary and treasurer and the heads of the principal committees, those on Public Defense, Production, WeifsIe Work and Finance. The de- fense committee especially will guard the Tublic safety, keeping close watch fer possible reasonable actions within tine county and helping in military preparations. The production commit tee has the important work of stimu- lating food production and securing proper harvesting and marketing con- ditions Welfare work deals especial ly with keeping close track of all coun- ty men in the country's service and providing for their dependents, at need The finance committee will have no empty honor, for funds must be pro- vided for emergency work and the maintenance of headquarters.

COPPER PRICE IN
 JUNE FOUNDATION
 FOR SPECULATION

Ihe present price for copper expires witGin two months, and there is much interest regarding the attitude that the government will take toward fixing the price after then. Up to the pres ent time it has refused to heed the as- sertlons of producers that they are hay ing difficulty in breaking even at the present price. and it remains to be seen whether it will be convinced by the further arguments that the pro ducers doubtless will make. No re- duction. of course, is possible but un- less there is an advance some of the smaller companies may be forced to suspend production, because of the steadily rising costs, while new pro duction is not stimulated by the pres ent price. A new property must be of undoubted richness in order to be brought into production under the ex- isting conditions.
 The larger consumption of copper by the United States for war purpos- es is reflected in the reduced exports. No doubt the consumption remains as high as ever, but it is differently dis tributed January exports of copper NCAC AsOofNSS pOuhOof oo SChPNA VI with 107,613,29S pounds in January, 1917; and for the seven months to Jan. 31 the exports were 531.012.7O9 pounds, as compared with 466.750,63S pounds a year ago. Part of the recent decrease may have been due to ship ping difficulties. although there is good reason to believe that all the copper that is being produced is be- ing consumed here or abroad. If there is any accumulation in the United States it is at the docks. and repre- sents copper that has been sold but that vessels have not been able to car ".
 Aside from the price, which is gen erally unsatisfactory, the conditions in the industry are favorable. Divi- dends have been reduced by most com panies but the present rates are likely to be maintained.

PIONEER LIVER MINE
 PASSES TO NEW HANDS

MAYER, Ariz April 13.-The con summation of the sale of the old Peck silver mine, located eight miles south of this place, marks one of the most important mine transactions in Yavapai county, so far this year. The mipe is one of the several old high grade silver properties that made for tunes for their owners twenty-five years ago when only the highest grade ore could be handled. The ore from the Peck mine was hauled fifty miles by bUll team to Prescott and then was shipped with expensive freight to mar ket.
 The mine was owned by O. I. '"lw- ney, of this place, and the purcnasef was C. E. Baton, of Fl Paso, Texas. Included in the deal are several other siiTeT properties owned by F. " Ilr- roux. O. Mayer, R. H. Burnister, of Prescott and others, all of the claims being connected with the Pe':k mine.
 It is estimated that ther- are about 1OC, 600 tons of milling ore in the old stopes and on the dumps which could not be handled at a profit when the mint was worked a q.iarte- of cen tury ago. None of the ore EO,lies has beer worked below the water 'evel there being left much high grade in sighs in the lower workings. l. is the p,an of the purchaser to thoroughly de velop the Peck mine and the adJuining claims and then build a mill ,o fit the findings. It is like,y that the mil vlll uss cyanide and DO $ ply oil Notation. too.
 Old Silver Belt
 The Peck mine is located in about the center of long silver belt begin ming a short distance south of Prescott and ending south forty miles, below the old Tip Top silver-tungsten mine. which also has a great record as high grade shipper. Along this strip of mineralized country, there are ma ny remarkable silver properties that can be brought back into the produc- tive class with the expenditure oi small amount of money. The mill pro cess Of treating the ore will be greatly simFiyfIed over what was in use when these mines were active years ego. for both the cyanide and the oil flOtatiUn processes have been developed in the meantime.
 The Peck mine adjOins the oId 'Swas- tika silver property which has been steady shipper of high grade silver ore for many years. It has re :IrG ci about sixty carloads sent to th1 smel- ter py leasers. It is at the present. time leased to F w. GirrOuN who is als1 planning on the erection of some sort O: a mill at his properts to treat the large amount of milling sii 5cc ore on he dumps and in the old sto?es.
 The sale of the Peck mine was ne gOtiG.ed by w. w. Williams. mining engineer of Fl PasO. It IS understood that other properties in that sarle sec tior Lave a chance of becoming ope. a- tive due to this Peck transaction.

the stronger incentive of the patriotic impulse which is uppermost with all engineers and large interests to in crease the resources in metals of which the nation and its Allies stand in need and the supply of which is diminishing with each day of opera tion in the producing. proven areas of going concerns.
 Jerome Developments
 Recent interesting new develop ments in the Verde district include the coming in of a rush of water in the new delivery tunnel being driven for United Verde. The tunnel was not started with expectation of en- countering ore, but this water devel- opment is one that carries signifi- canoe in the Verde district and may readily enough mean that the tunnel is coming upon an ore body. Such development on the lower end of the present proven ore area of the camp as a body in the tunnel country would represent would be highly important to a considerable area now in the prospect stage.
 May Delay Gadsden
 The tunnel water strike may result in some delay in the sinking of Gads- den shaft, inasmuch as Gadsden has been using the only available extra pump that the Extension has and the latter may have to call it back. Gads- den has a pump of its own somewhere on the way from the manufacturers, but just where it is or when 1t will get in may not be said in these days of unsolvable transportation problems. If it has to give up the Extension pump and stop sinking temporarily it will delay information that had been anticipated as likely to be available next month. Gadsden si not far dis tant at this time from it's 1000 level, where it has been thought that chang es in formation might occur that would give a fairly strong line on what might be expected when they reached out in their country from that and lower levels. Encourage ment to this belief has been fostered recently by constant softening of the ground as they have made depth.
 Jerome Verde Looks Better
 Jerome Verde, the other advanced property in the district in which in- terest in development keeps keenly alive, is considered of late to be look ing more sclidly satisfactory than at any time, although they have not ob- tained any lead as yet warranting positive conclusions. They have, how ever, wound up a thorough campaign of preliminary prospecting and launched upon a campaign of research and development based upon the pros pecting findings and thus far giving indications of having been wisely conceived.
 Portland Possibilities
 Interest in Jerome Portland has been revived by authentic news that this. property has attracted the atten- ton of a large copper interest and that it will soon have the advantage of a thorough examination. If the latter retains the interest of those who make it, it is very likely that it will be possible to work out the terms under which the property will get an other chance to make good under the direction of highly competent mining skill backed by an abundance of funds.

ST EGGS COMING SOON
Poultry Men Say It's Most Serious
Famine in History.

Chicago. Jan. 10.-Eggs will retail
at 81 and $1.25 a dozen before spring
and no relief is in sight during the
war, producers declared here today
Poultry raisers, attending the fifth
annual show of the Chicago Poultry
Breeders association, were unanimous
in declaring the egg and chicken sit
uation the most serious in history
They held out no hope for eggs and
chickens becoming foods again
they will continue as luxuries.
Excessive Cost of Feed, Cause.
A famine in fried chicken" is
threatened for spring. The hatch of
BABY chickens was sold out last Sep
TENDER, according to the poultry
raisers
Excessive costs of feeds and gov
eminent prohibition of wheat as
chicken ration is responsible, accord
ing to R. w. Sturtevant of Racine
Wis. Oats and corn prices must be
chopped in half before eggs will be
reduced, Sturtevant said.
Poultry raisers deny any profit
making. Many have been forced out
of business during the past year, be-
cause of the decreased profits, H w
Hollebach of Waterford, Wis, said.
