WOULD LIKE TO TRY AGAIN

Annie Oakley, who was one of the worlds greatest rifle shots and who travelled all over the country with Buff falo Bill, was in Camp Meade a few days ago and to illustrate her skill with a gun shot the ashes off a cigar cite. She told the boys at the camp that when she was in Berlin some years ago with the wild west show she performed this trick and the German crown prince offered to hold the cig- arette when she made the shot. "Wish he would do it now," was her com ment.

THE COURAGE OF
 THE MUTILATED

Some eight months ago a modest little newspaper put in it's appearance in Paris. Many have done so during the war, but the singularity of La Greffe Generale" is that it is funny paper, and its motto is Laugh Any way" Heartless as it sounds, this comic paper is the most touching and most inspiring of publications, for it is run entirely by those whose faces have been mutilated in battle. The greatest miracles of surgery are prac ticed on these men. The operations are attended with torture, and in many cases are only an eXpedfent. The pa tients will tess the real politeness of the French, for the situation will de- mand that they shall not be pitied, even by a glance. Their paper, they announce, is meant ''to communicate to Frenchmen at home a gayety not in the least feigned, not at all faceti- Ous, in word, real and sincere. We do not wish to excite the pity of our contemporaries, being ourselves very well satisfied with our wounds" The paper, according to the Foreign News Bureau of the Womans' Committee Council of National Defense, where we find the item, was held up a day be- cause the editor had to undergo an other operation; he came out from the anaesthetic and continued making jokes.

During the past two weeks there has been no excitement in the district, most of the development companies having inaugurated a campaign of deeper prospecting and to that end are speeding up all efforts in the sink ing of their shafts.
 One property, the West United Verde, was closed down last week, and no information can be obtained as to the future plans of the company. This property, commonly known as the old Haynes" was recently taken over from the Jerome Victor Extension in a reorganization of the latter com pany, and was being kept unwatered pending a deal in the east whereby funds were expected to be available

Special Correspondence)

Jerome, ArlZ., June ;, l9lo.
 Petitions are being circulated all over the state of Arizona for the pur- pose of initiating a Constitutional Amendment to be known as the Work mems Compensation Law The pro posed amendment is to replace the present inadequate Compensation Act, to provide insurance for the employer, and tO guarantee fair compensation for the injured workman, making it possible for the employe to carry state insurance at no cost to himself and at only actual cost to his employer through the elimination of agents commissions, insurance company prof its, and lawyers and court costs.
 The amendment was prepared after a two years study of similar laws in various other states, is made up of the best IT. each, and even goes them all at least enc better in its clearness and the payment of higher compensation. It provides for specific amounts for each and every injury, and allows a maximum of SSO0O and a minimum Of S30OO fol any death due to injury, such amount being computed on the earning capacity of the employe at the time the accident occurred.
 As it is Constitutional amendment, it will require approximately 5000 sig naturts, enough to equal at least 15 per cent of the total vote cast for gov ernor in 1916.
 That the new amendment will meet with very little if any opposition from either employer or employe is the con- census of opinion of all who have care fully gene into the various features of the proposed law.
 Judging from the success that the variouS circulators of the initiative pc titions are having among the work men of Jerome, Clarkdale and Verde, there should be nc trouble, even though the time is somewhat limited, in securing more than enough sigma tunes in the state to insure the sub hitting of the amendment to the vot- CTS for ratification at the fall cleo uon.

KINGMAN MAY HEAR
 OWN MILITARY BAND

The 15Sth Infantry band, composed wholly of Arizona boys in the army at Camp Kearny, is now touring the state in the interest of recruiting. The band is said to be one of the best in the new army and as all are from some part of the state the people are meeting them with open arms. In this band are two Kingman men, Wal ter K. Born and Carl Goetse. Goetse Goetse has written songs and music for the band that is said to be quite fetching. It is to be hoped that the band will visit Kingman within the near future. Its first stop in the state was in Phoenix, where it made quite a hit.

MaEicopa county, Arizona, sitting in the Superior Court of Yavapai coun- ty at Prescott in special session, grant ed the petition of the minority stock holders of the Hull Copper company and appointed R. H. Hetherington re- ceiver of the company and of the block of stock held by Chas. w. Clark, trus- tee. The appointment was made over the objections of the attorneys for the Hull estate and Clark, who gave notice that the matter would be ap- pealed to the supreme court and signi- fled that intention of furnishing the supercedeas bond in the sum of S1,- OOO,OOO in order to stay the process of transferring the Clark and company's holdings to the receiver.
 The appointment of the receiver is enc of the steps in the complicated case filed over a year ago by the mi nority stockholders, who brought the suit asking that the plaintiffs be ad- indicated the owners of 5,00O,OOO shares of the stock of the company, tEat the defendants be required to make an accounting of all stock is sued, and that Chas. w. Clark, Trus tee, be compelled to produce such rec crds, contracts and agreements as were necessitated by the transfer of the interests of the late G. W.sHull to the Clark people. It was alleged that although Clark was not a party to the fraud, he came into possession of the Hull stock after the latter had acquired the same in a fraudulent manner, and it was maintained that Clark did so knowing the means whereby Hull, had gained control of the same, and that Clark desired the property for the purpose of merging the same with the holdings of the United Verde Copper company. As only about two and one-half million shares are outstanding other than the stock held by Clark, it is alleged that he would be enabled to make any dis position of the property he saw fit, which would be a menace to the hold ings of the others.
 Judge Lyman announced that the case would be heard on its merits be- ginning Monday, August 26, and it is probable by that time that the receiv- ership matter will have been settled.
 Development work on the property consists of about two miles of tunnels and crosscuts, and a shaft on the "18S8" claim 475 feet in depth. Ship ments of copper ore assaying 8 1-2 per cent have been made in the past from workings on the property, but since late in 1916 no development work has been done.
 Immediately after the decision was made public the stock, which had been stagnant around 35 cents, jumped to 65 cents, but has since sagged off to around the half dollar mark with very little trading reported.
 The company has no funds in the treasury, and prior to his death, Huil secured judgment in the lower courts in the sum of S94,OOO and interest. This case has been appealed to the su- preme court.

GREAT COPPER MINES
 IN VERDE MINING DISTRICT

for an extensive development cam Paign. Evidently there was a hitch in the deal, for the mine is being al- lowed to fill, and 1t is estimated that it will cost in the neighborhood of S30,O0O to again unwater the entire workings.
 Verde Combination
 The shaft at Verde Combination has attained a depth of over 300 feet be- lew the 700 level, and is bottomed in very favorable looking schist con- taining much iron pyrites and some chalcopyrite. It is the intention to continue sinking to the 11OO-foot level from which point a crosscut will be run northward to intersect the quartz ledge which was exposed on the 700 level. This ledge was somewhat leach ed and it is anticipated to show con- .centration and rich naturalization at the greater depth.
 United Verde Extension Mining Co. | The only thing now standing in the way of the starting up of the new shelter of the United Verde Exten- sion is the non-arrival of a motor and switchboard for the plant. Everything else is in readiness, although it will be at least two weeks after the miss ing machinery arrives before it can be completely installed. Tracers have been sent out but with no results, and at present the location of the shipment which left Pittsburg May IS is mys- tery.
 Jerome Verde
 In order to thoroughly prospect the mineralized zone recently cut by dia- mond drill bore run north from the lcng northeast drift, a heading has been started and is now in 90 feet with about APO feet to go to attain its objective. In the meantime work in the northeast drift is being slowed down to allow of greater speed in the new heading. The diamond drill has been moved to a set-up 300 feet fur ther to the east and another bore is being run northerly to prospect that country.
 It will take at least six weeks to es- tablish the grades in the territory ly- ing north of the United Verde EXten- sion, connection with which was re- gently made by the long crosscut from tha Columbia shaft. This is on the HOO level of Jerome Verde which cor responds to the 400 level U. V. EX.
 Calumet 6 Jerome
 Plans are being perfected for deep CT prospecting in this property by dia- mond drill, it being the present inten- tion to let a contract for at least 5000 feet of holes to be bored from the 600 level, each hole to penetrate a dis tance of about 700 feet. This drilling will be done in the large pyritic schist belt which was so thoroughly explored on the 600 in the workings south and east of the shaft.

RED CROSS PIG SOLD CHEAP

Mrs. Lucy Bulkely donated a fine young pig to the Red Cross, but ow- ing to lack of time it was found nee essary to sell the porker for S6, which was by far too low for the animal. Had it been possible to hold the pig for a longer time it could easily have brought $50.
