JEROME MAN IS FOR
 CLUB ON NEW ROAD.
(From Saturdays Daily)

A country club halfway between Jerome and Prescott, for the people of both cities, is a possibility when the short-line highway is completed, according to the Verde Copper News.
 The idea originated with C. H. Rutherford and was preached by him the other day to F. s. Vie1e of Prescott, president of the Yavapai Chamber of Commerce. Viele imme- diately became enthusiastic over the suggestion and stated that ne would give the movement every support possible at the county seat.
 Senator Rutherford owns the wa ter of Yeager Canyon and told Viele that if the proposed club became a reality he would contribute the wa ter, which is a valuable asset.
 In order to provide level ground for golf links, tennis courts and other appurtenances to country club, a site out of Yeager Canyon and down in the valley on the other side of the Black Hills would have to be chosen This would place the club about midway between Prescott and Jerome and within easy driving distance of both.
 "Such a club would not only pro vide us with place for recreation and amusement that is now sadly needed, but would tend to draw the people of Prescott and Jerome closer together Senator Rutherford de- clared today. "Now that the short line road is assured, it is time to begin to plan and work for a coun- try club in the Yeager Canyon coun- trv'

VENUE CHANGE ASKED FOR
 STEPHENS
ACCESSIBILITY OF FIND ING ENOUGH JURORS IN YAVAPAI WHO HAVE NOT FORMED OPINION
 AS TO GUILT, ALLEGED.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

By reason of the wide circulation through the newspapers and other wise, of the story of his first convic- ton and sentence to life imprison- ment, for murder, H. E. Stephens, more generally known as "Bud", has petftioned the superior court for a change of venue for his second trial. The petition, signed by B citizens and resident electors of Yavapai county, was filed yesterday. Time to set date for arguing it has been fixed for next Monday morning.
 According to the petition and af- fidavits attached Thereto, so many people of Yavapai county have be- come convinced of the guilt of the defendant, that 1t would be impos- sible to secure a jury that could presume his innocence until his guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, as prescribed by law. All the signers of the petition state that since April ? last, they have heard the case of Stephens discussed, and that many persons have expressed their opinion that he is guilty.
 Some time back, J. H. Stephens, father of the accused, who was in dicted with him in connection with the killing of Robert Miller, secured a change of venue for the trial of his case, to the superior court of Coco .nino county.
 The original trial was conducted by E. S. Clark as special prosecutor. On appeal to the supreme court of the state, the sentence of the lower court was reversed and the case re- manded for new trial. Attorneys O'Sullivan and Morgan represented the defendant and are in charge of the movement to change tne re-trial to another county.

HAD FORESIGHT TO
 BRING HIS SNOWSHOES.
(From Fridays Daily)

For the first time known in this section the utility of the snowshoe was illustrated on Wednesday when Henry Job, mining man of the Sen ator field made the trip to Prescott by this method without mishap and in good time. While there have been a few instances in which the ski stunt has been pulled off the real Norwegian apparatus had never ma terialized until MT. Job buckled on his device to take advantage of the unusual snow situation. He brought the shoes from Michigan about two years ago, and has been the subject of many jocose remarks for even limiting that such means of locomo- ton was adapted to this region.
 But Job simply made good by hay ing the laugh on the other fellow. He started out of the camp with a long stride, but slowed down when ranch on Groom Creek hove in sight, and he went into camp to rest up. Getting his second wind he pulled into South Montezuma street in exactly four hours actual travelling time from Senator, distant sixteen miles. He will wait for someone to break the road before returning, as the pull back home is upward on a steep grade.

ARIZ. SUPREME IN
 PRODUCTION OF METAL
(From Saturdays Daily)

According to a preliminary esti- mate of the United States Geological Survey, Arizona produced $205,- 50O,0OO worth of copper, gold, sil- yer, lead and zinc in 1918 When the value of her output of mangan- csc, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadi- um, and other metals and minerals is added to this total the aggregate will be increased by a respectable figure, and it is confidently believed that this will surpass the value of the production in 1917.
 Arizona not only stands first among the states of the union as a copper producer, but in 1918 she pro- duced $5O,OOO,0OO worth of this metal in excess of the combined produc- ton of Alaska, California, Idaho, Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota and Washing ton. and her output was about $l3,- 100000 in excess of that coming from Utah and Montana together.
 While we are apt to regard Ari- zona as distinctly a copper produc- ing state, her gold production eX- cecded that of Idaho, Oregon, Mon. tana. Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, or Washington, amounting to $5,55l,-

ANOTHER SILVER OF
 LONG AGO TO RESUME
CFrom Saturdays Dailyl

The Black Butte group of silver vanadium-lead mines, situated in the Constellation field, has been absorb ed by the Omar Mining and Milling Co.,, recently organized, and will be- come active immediately. This is an important movement in mining, and brings back to life one of the best known mining propositions in the southern part of the county, it be- ing generally conceded by engineers that the holdings are on the same contact as the famous Monte Cristo, which to a certain extent is substan- tiated by the character of the miner al content The Omar has been ex- tensiyely developed in past years by the original owner, R. T. Barton, who yesterday made announcement of the deal being closed. He will assume the management of the com pany. The president, Samuel Raw son, arrived recently from St. Louis. Both leave for the camp as soon as their auto can negotiate the snow over the Copper Basin range, and it is the intention to begin operating at once.
 The principals stated yesterday that Gibson milling plant had been ordered with a concentrating equip ment, the capacity to be eighteen tons of a finished product per day, while other operating apparatus also is enroute On the dump ready for treating it is estimated there are over 200 tons of first-class ore, while old workings will readily provide a larger output. Several years ago the Black Butte came into prominent rating in silver, when it was extens- lively opened by Mir. Barton. The return of silver to over a dollar an ounce occasions its revival.

"The sheep outlook on the desert at this time is far beyond expecta- tions, and inside of another week grazing should be excellent" said C. E. Burton, who was returning to Ash Fork from Congress Junction to start south another trainload from his northern ranges. He also stated that very little feeding will be neces- sary this season, which is in direct contrast to a year ago, when the country was arid and vast sums had to be outlayed to procure hay and water to avert disaster to sheepmen.
 Another matter mentioned by MT. Burton was that the range was soft, and very little riding had been going on for this reason.

(From Friday's DalIy.)


 The arrival in Prescott on We'd ncsday of Captain J. Chickenger, from Camp Jackson, South Carolina, was a pleasant event for this army officer, who was greeted by many friends and extended congratulations for attaining this rank.
 Captain Challenger it will be re- membered, was stationed at Fort Whipple as a first sergeant of his troop of cavalry over ten years ago, and afterward was transferred to various sections of the country. He was taken from the ranks and pro- noted to a commission when war was declared, and recently reached his present rank.
 He was desirous of going over- seas, but his services were required at nome in instructing the recruit, which duty he admirably performed. Captain Chickenger comes back to Prescott on an extended leave, to look after his mining interests in Bib Bug district, on which he is,con- remplating beginning development. :,
 His application is filed for retire ment after 30 years continuous serv- ice, and yet he is a comparatively young man. It is quite probably he will make Prescott his home.

CHARGES IN
OFFICE
PROVED
|LL-FOUNDED

The many friends of the Federal
Employment Bureau here were sur
prised to learn today THAT Captain
A. N. Miner, the examiner in charge,
is under fire, writteff>complaint hav-
ing been filed with the sesxice head
quarters in Washington.
The complainant, whose name is
not known, charges Captain Miner
with working with the employer for
securing a reduction in wages and
compelling men to accept positions at
lower hire than has been the stand
ard, and with dlscourtesy.
When fully informed of the allie
cations Captain Miner today gave
to his friends a statement in denial:
"This is all the work of some l..
w. w., many of whose representa-
tives have come into the office and
assumed the same surly, dictatorial
manner that they are noted for
81 have never had anything to do
with the fixing Of wages, either with
the employer or prospective employee.
That is a matter strictly between
themselves. | have the interests OF
both impartially at heart with this
idea in merchandising labor for
the rancher and furnishing the appli-
cant a job as soon as possible.
GAS anyone who has ever visited
or frequented this office knows, the
charge of discourtesy on my part is
ill-founded."
Dozens of business men and rapch-
ers, and scores of laboring men who
h., lnnt,
or secured aid to their finances
through the cooperation of Captain
Miner, refer in praiseworthy terms
to the manner in which the official
fills his position.
