LEX|NCTONS JOURNEY
OVERLAND To GET
To DETROIT

After travelling three hundred and
sixteen miles, through mountains OF
snow and ice, four nearly frozen men
drove into Detroit with three Lexington
show cars just in time for the opening
of the Detroit automobile show.
This remarkable run was made at
the urgent request of Robertson q
Stansen, the Detroit distributors, when
it was found that it presented the only
way that the cars could be delivered IN
time to make the display, freight or
express shipment being out of the ques-
ton in this limited time.
Experienced drivers discouraged this
cross country route, but in spite of
their mis- giyings, these plucky men left
the factory at Connersville, Indiana, at
two o'clock on Wednesday, January 16,
reaching Greenville. Ohio. distance OF
sixty-five miles, at nine O'Clock the
same night.
At II o'clock Thursday. the party left
Greenville and arrived at Lima. Ohio
at $50, distance of seventy miles. Not
a single vehicle was encountered over
the entire days run, the drivers being
forced 10 take turn about in breaking
out the roads for the other cars. There
was not u single track to guide them
in their arduous work. the trail maker
gauging the center of the highway by
the fence posts.
In passing through Van Buren,, Ohio
Harry Myers, one of the party, had d
narrow escape from injury when he
was speeding up to top a sharp rise a
a railroad crossing, a child was playing
| in the road just over the embankment
To keep from running the little char
down. Myers was forced to turn GU
| sharply.
The snow which had drifted alonl
the road obscured a deep ditch whicl
naralleled it and in the tMinkling of AZ

eve his ear was catapulted into tho
ditch where it lay on its side with tho
wheels still spinning Myers was pre-
cipitated into a snowbank from which
he emerged looking like a polar bear
but otherwise unhurt. Aside from
broken windshield and smashed top, a
hasty examination revealed little dam
age TO the car.
Toledo was reached about nine
o'clock ninety snowy miles having been
reeled of. After d brief rest. the min
ute men started on, feeling that their
troubles were over. The drivers We're
congratulating themselves when they
lost the trail and found themselves
again in snow up to the aXles-
At this juncture the Lexington party
was subjected to the worst discour-
agement of the entire trip, for in at
tempting to wheel the last car about
it slid over a bank with nothing 10 do
but dig it out even though the Their
mometer was then registering eighteen
below zero.
After three hours Of back breaking
labor they finally succeeded in getting
the car back on the road and returned
to Monroe, Michigan.
Nothing further interfered with their
progress to Detroit. which was reached
shortly after seven o'clock Saturday
morning, a few hours before the show
/ opened.
This mid-winter drive over 5l6 miles
/ OF snow drifted highway in 36is hours
actually spent on the road. and with
/ less than 80 gallons of gasoline per car
used was heralded as a record breaking
accomplishment by automobile men
who heard the thrilling story of the
trip. But the Worn-out members of
the little party. nursing frost bitten
faces hands and feet, could take small
comfort in that fact.

PRESCOTT, Feb. 5.-Jerome's boast
that it will be the largest ard most
permanent mining camp not alore in
the United States. but in the world,
is in a fair way of fulfillmen; Fol
lowing the subsistence of the boom,
which came on the heels of the
bringing in Of the United Verde Ex-
tionsion, it was predicted by many
that decided drop in population
and excitement would be witnessed.
But Jerome has progressed in the
past year in such marvellous manner
that despite the erection OF modern
hotel and many private homes and
houses to rent, the camp is still over
crowded and it is almost impossible
to get place to sleep unless ae-
commodations are reserved in ad-
vance. The congestion, will be parti-
ally but not wholly relieved in the
near future by the construction Of
46-apartment building, or half a
dozen structures containing eight
apartments each by the United Verde
The plans are already drown and in
the hands of Senator w. \. Clark
in New York, and upon receipt Of his
approval will be started by the first
of March at the latest. The build
ing or buildings will be fireproof and
steam heated and are designed for
the accommodation of the employees
of the company and will be rented
TO them at $25 per month.

show their total production would
have been reduced by lowering OF the
metal price below 23ia cents, a total
OF ,2SS,000 pounds the month, or 10
$4,000 pounds the year. OF these Il
producers it is but fair TO say thar
five are now shut down, being IN
able TO produce copper at price
Under 26 to Is cents the pound.
Twenty of these, same II producers
report that on a IS cent metal mark
ct they would he able to produce
1,472, O0O more pounds of copper the
month than it is possible for them
to output on 231z cent market, or
33.120,000 pounds the year in excess
Of what they could make with copper
below 23l. cents. The 20 small op-
orators on which these figures the
above estimates are based are en-
ploying total Of 1876 men on a
231s cent market. On 26 cent
market they would be able TO get
into their lower grade ores suf-
ficiently to employ ISIS men.
These small operators, employing
from ten men up do not cover a
third of the total number of small
operators in the state. The other
two-t thirds are producing at least as
much as the total copper output of
the one-third heard from, and would
make proportionate gain on n % cent
