ADVANCE WORK ON
 TUNNEL AT JEROME

JEROME Ariz.. Oct. 26.-It is not improbable that the 12,000-foot United Verde Extension tunnel will be in use by next March. Latterly good prog ress has been had on the four head ings and less than 400 feet of driving is to be done between the main head ing, from the surface, and the east heading from the Texas shaft.
 The west Texas heading has passed the Dundee and is progressing in bet ter ground and without any especial increase in the quantity of water en- countered, though there is no assur- ance that another water seam may not be encountered such as that which drained the Dundee. This would b4 of little importance, however, after the portal gravity drainage instead Of pumping through the Texas.
 By spring the smelter at Verde will have capacity for over 1000 tons day, and great holdings of sulphide. run ming from 10 to 15 per cent copper. are ready in the mine for the cheap trans portation that the tunnel will afford. The Verde blast furnace is turning out more than 100000 pounds of copper a month.
 Dundee has resumed sinking, with a dry shaft, and now is down to about 690 feet, on the way to the 960 mark, from which connecting drift is to be run to the extension tunnel. Copper Chief has closed down for the war on account of undue expense after cleaning up about all the ore available for milling. Despite it's name the property is good producer It is proposed to use the shutdown time in construction of new type of acid and 1 cyanide mill that will be more effec- 1 tive than the system now in use. l Jerome Superior's shaft is down tt
 about 600 feet depth. and manager
 Mitchell expects to reach the zone oi
 re-enrichment very soon.
 Verde Squaw is down 100 feet or : the way to 250 feet, where a cross cut
 will be run to the ledge, about 100 feet
 distant.
 A report of an important strike 1T the Gadsden is declared by the man l agement q mistaken rumor. Cross
 cutting from the 1,200 station is be.
 ing pushed at the rate of 12 feet
 day.

BACK FROM FRANCE
 PHOENIX MAN WRITES

City Commissioner J. A. R. Irvine has just received a letter from his brother. Major Roy s. Irvine of the 31Sth Engineers, who has lately re turned from France and at present is stationed at Camp Humphreys, Va.
 He writes:
 Dear Pat:
 How in blazes are you coming along? Why don't you drop fellow a line once in a decade or so? l landed in Boston two weeks ago Saturday and made good use of a seven-G day leave they forced on us. But this camp here is as bad as they make and you can't get out of it without lining up and waiting your turn for jitney.
 I saw James, Ca younger brother also an oficer,) before coming back. He is in charge of construction at Tours. He has a bomb proof job and lives like prince. I also went down to the base hospital at Bordeaux and saw Sylvan, (another brother)
 As you have probably heard he was unfortunate enough to be too close to a H. E. German shell. Two pieces went through his shoulder and one through his arm. He was in the Chateau Thierry drive and got up as far as the Cured. He had been out with night party putting a bridge across and when they were coming back a shell dropped along their path getting his whole squad, killing three and wounding five. He said Orville Littlejohn was in the party and the last he saw of him he was lying in the road grooming as if he were about to go across.
 Sylvan happenI to be in the livest places of that whole drive. He was at Champagne when Foch beat the ! Germans to their offensive, when he concentrated 400 batteries of artillery 1 at one place and beat their barrage out by ten minutes. Sylvan's barracks was among the first objectives. Ther l they found rest in a wheat field til 1 that got too hot and then he crawleC under French truck and came ou ! alright Gosh. but they sure tore III the country. I got up there after the! had stopped us at the Eesle and it wa: hot enough then to cause a peculiarl, pleasant sensation to steal over vol till you got out of range of those son of guns.
 How is everything getting alonI anyway. The last letter I had iron you was dated July 10. Are any nor of the family in the A. F. F.? I got a chance to go across Franc a couple of times but didn't know wh
 there might have been to look up. Say have you been reading in the paper about Frank Luke's exploits. It seem
 to me I remember him as little Xii in dresses. This letter is sort of scrawll
 but haven't much time. For Petes sake
 write something. l haven't heard any thing from PhoeniX'for years. Give m
 love to Hazel. Yours as ever,
 ROY.

COTTON SUCCESS IN
 SANTA CRUZ VALLEY

Pima long staple cotton can be grown in the Santa Cruz valley with practically the same success as in the Salt River valley, whose cotton crop now runs way up into the millions annually.
 This fact has now been positively demonstrated by the Tucson Farms company this year. This company planted 100 acres in tracts all the way from Sahuarita to Jaynes and the crop has been successful in all parts of the valley.
 If killing frost should come With ing the next week, the crop would still be a success and the company would harvest at least 50 bales from the 100 acres. This may be brought up to 75 bales if the season is a normal one. Ordinarily the first killing frost comes about November 20.
 A large force Of cotton pickers is now at work on the various tracts. Already eight bales have been picked and ginned at the companys gin at Flowing Wells which has been over hauled and is prepared to handle the full crop. F. w. Taylor, general man ager of the company who made the experiment, feels quite certain that the crop will average nearly three -ouar- ters of a bale to the acre. On some tracts it will average a bale to the acre.
 The plants were thinned out to 1e | inches apart. In the Salt River val ley, the farmers usually thin them to | about 10 inches and this system prob ably will be followed here next year | Altogether there are five tracts of cot l ton in the valley, one at Sahuarita, one I aE ra4- | dens, north of the hospital, one at Flowing Wells and one at Jaynes. The tract at Catalina gardens is l probably doing the best Here 20 acres | have been planted and the crop will | certainly average a bale to the acre | Some of the plants here are seven feet high and are bent over with the bolls | which number as high as 200 to the | plant. This cotton field is a beautifu
 sight and is a perfect jungle as ths plants have many lateral stalks whict are bearing heavily.
 The company and it's tenants vii plant at least 1000 acres in Pima Ions
 staple next year. this being about a, l much land suitable for cotton growth.
 as can be prepared for planting. Tn,
 best land in the valley will be used
 and if the crop approximates in sue
 cess that of this year. the Santa Cru
 valley will produce a quarter of a mil
 lion dollars in cotton next year if thi
 years prices prevail.
 MT. Taylor is naturally very mucl
 elated over the success of the venture
 which opens great possibilities for thi
 section in an agricultural way Thi
 years crop will give the compan | enough seed to plant 5000 acres in tn
 valley next year if other land owner
 wish to plant cotton

Worlds Greatest Dairy Exhibition
By w. A. Barr, State Dairy Commssioner

quired to equal one quart of milk or one pint of cream or one-half pound of butter or of cheese. Women demon-
 strators each day from a. m. to g
 p. m. prepared various dishes showing
 the many ways milk and its products
 can be used. Dr. McCollum, the worlds
 most noted dairy scientist, gave his lec-
 ture reviewing his discoveries relative
 to the vital nature of milk and reviewed his experiments in nutrition. demon-
 strating that certain essential principles
 in some foods called vitamines are ab- solutely necessary to health and growth, and that they are absent in vegetable fats and oils. in the grains of cereals and in root and tuber plants, but are present in milk products and the leaves of certain green vegetables. He did not say that grains or vegetable fats Were not nourishing, but in order to make growth possible, must be supplemented by corrective fats which contain vii l tamies.
 The exhibit of dairy cattle included l the worlds best, and the judging daily 1 drew large and enthusiastic crowds. 1 Splendid animals were shown from ! Kansas, Montana. Texas and from the 1 majority of the states cast of the Mis- ! sissippi river, also from Canada. Ohio 1 exhibited more than two tons of Swiss cheese, while large exhibits were also made by fifteen other states.
 The interest taken in the show can be indicated by the attendance of rep -esentatives from every state in the union. and by exhibits either of dairy cattle. dairy machinery or milk products from 36 different states. No dairyman
 or person interested in dairying could
 attend this show without gaining many
 ideas of practical application worth much more than the cost in time and money of attending the show.

SEEKS ID CONNECT
 ARIZONA AND UTAH
 WITH GOOD HIGHWAY

C. H. BigeloW of Salt Lake City drove into Phoenix yesterday on a trip of investigation undertaken for the state of Utah, the object of which is to secure information on various pos sible routes and methods of inter-con- meeting the good roads systems of the inter mountain states. He is connected officially with the Utah state highway committee.
 Because of geographical conditions in Utah an attempt is being made to coordinate road construction so that the northwestern part of Arizona and the southeastern part of Nevada G. e., the cattle and sheep grazing sections), will connect at St. George with the Utah state highway, the Arrowhead trail,' said Mir. BigeloW. The connect ing line between Arizona and St George will probably be by means of a bridge across the Colorado at some point to be selected in Mohave county.
 The Nevada connection will prob ably be to Las Vegas, Nevada, thence south, one branch going to San Diego via the Imperial valley, the other branch westerly to Los Angeles via the Old Trails route.
 Of Extreme Interest
 This work has become of extreme interest at this time because of the eff fort now being made to unify the con- servation work along the Colorado | river, which will include power devel- opment at various points along the | Colorado and also provide flood-water storage, principally on the Green and Grand rivers. and which will maintain perennial flow on the Colorado suf- | ficient to bring hundreds of thousands l tnf tort Ctp = l tivation on the Colorado and it's tribu- 1 taries.
 "On Sept. g, 1918, a meeting of rep resentative men of the state of Utah was called by Gov. Bamberger at the state capitol in Salt Lake, to devise ways and means to bring about unity of action in that political tentity of the west commonly known IS the inter mounain region. Committees on reso- lution and presentation, headed by ex- Gov Spry, were formed. later to be followed by a call to the interested western states for a meeting to be held at some centrally located city to work out plans that will aid Secretary Lane in his effort to secure actual com mencement of work on the Colorado
