GAMES RAIDED IN
 JEROME; FOUR IN TOLLS

JEROME, Sept. l9.-Two alleged gambling games in the Paz & Cota pool hall were raided last evening by Deputy Sheriffs Fred Hawkins and Charley Sauer. Four arrests were made. The defendants are Susano Cota, proprietor; Jose Cota and E. Ortega, said to be dealers; and. N. Garcia, a mere participant. All were released on $2OO cash bail to guaran- tee their appearance before Justice w. R. Hughes.
 As near as the officers could de termine, one of the games was poker and at the other monte was the sport of the evening.
 When Hawkins and Sauer entered there was a fearful scattering. Mex jeans dived over counters, under chairs and through various exits. Hawkins made for one game and Sauer for the other. When the smoke had cleared away they had pair of prisoners apiece.

 In connection with the Silver Belt resuming production, the existing mineral conditions wer anticipated by Harry H. Burt, a local mining operator and engineer, who some months ago after making geological observations to the limited depth reached, predicted just what has oc- cured. He now advances the belief that the Silver Belt is just beginning to make mine, and although not interested or even employed, is keenly interested in its future.

SCHOOL ROSTER MUCH
 BIGGER THAN 1918
CFrom Sundays Daily.)

Surpassing last years enrolment at this time by half a hundred, the city school rosters are growing each day with the addition of one to half a dozen new pupils. No better indi- cation of the persistent, quiet growth of the city can be found, in the opin- ion of the school authorities than this.
 Yesterdays total was 811, covering registrations in the High school, and Lincoln and Washington graded schools.
 Overcrowding, which presented a serious problem, the first few days of the term, has become fact call ing for the most earnest effort on the part of the school authorities. Al ready, measures to relieve congestion have been resorted to. The Fifth grade in the Washington school has been divided into halves, part of the pupils reporting from 8 to F in the morning and the balance from l2:3O to 4;50 ill the afternoon. A tenn

EASTERN PEOPLE TAKE OVER THE
 SHE'LL DO N
(From Saturdays Daly.)

Advices were received in Prescott yesterday from New York City au- thorizing Mark Bradley to assume charge of the Sheldon group and to begin operating immediately the sale having been closed.
 This information came from H. R.. Lathrop, president of the company, which it is understood is amply fin anced for large development, and with whom is interested close as sociation of other big business men of that city.
 The seller is John H. Pell, but the consideration is not fSnown. The Sheldon under the new operators is to be a strictly clSse corporation, in which no shares are to be placed on the market, the operating plan call ing for energetic development foI tte next two years without produc- t:n',
 The main shaft is to be sunk to q deoth of a least 600 feet, from the floor of the old one about 200 feet from the surface, and the equipping of the property with a new and mod era plant is also decided upon. h addition a camp is to be built at once and construction of new wagon road of about two miles in length sta,ts from Walker.
 This deal is without doubt one O. the most important to be consum- mad in many years in the country ,fc Sheldon being among the hrs' lg;ucs 10 be located and operated il. the belt. It has been a shipper ano its original owner repeatedly refused to entertain negotiations to sell.
 Tn the group are ten claims, al. ra,cnted. and scattered exploration aggregates about 5000 feet, all worh demonstrating an attractive proposl- ten in gold, silver and copper. The Sheldon, in fact, among mining en- g;aters, is believed to be the mineral 1nciher of that belt, and has for over half century enjoyed an excellent name as to it's possibilities ii deer development were undertaken.
 The last operations were nearly z years ago. This deal caused more than ordinary comment 'on the streets yesterday among old time mining men.

This practical mining man is the first to make a success of this old property of the many who had leases during the past Is years, and aside from shipping he has made a new plant has been introduced, from which may be inferred the favorable mineral situation now being exposed. Later Mr. Worthington is to resume shipping, and that a reduction plant will be required on the ground, is the general impression.

He is leasing on Sam Richmond's claims in the basin and says he recently ran into streak of high grade heavy with native sil- yer. almost on the surface. Tests of this streak, it is claimed, have run 4,OOO ounces. According to MT. Rob- son, the vein shows indications of widening with depth. MT.

FIRST SHIPMENT SILVER BELT
 S5 900 NET
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Returns were received yesterday from Fl Paso of the first car load of ore shipped from the Silver Belt, that brought the handsome sum of $5,000 net. This amount was not un- expected, as the ore was known to carry a high grade silver content, in addition to lead as a by product, and was produced from the 25O-foot level without asserting and as development was being prosecuted.
 This shipment, less than g tons, the first to be made since over cen tu1y ago, is to be followed by another next week, and a gratifying condi- ton existing underground at the present time is that several more loads are ready for breaking down, without taking into consideration what further operating may afford.
 It is planned for the present to ship bi-monthly, until development outlined may determine the best course for the future.
 The return of this historical prop erty to the producing class is due solely to deep mining, and ill that connection it is known that the deeper the shaft goes the bigger and better have been determinations The stump in the main shaft at depth of 275 feet is known to carry a 36-inch

PATIENTS TENDER
 CITATION TO OFFICERS
(Frou Sundays nailYl

As good as the Distinguished Ser vice Medal is the citation given the Whipple Barracks organization by the enlisted men when they protest ed against being removed from this hospital, according to the Vests Recall. which said editorially yester- day:
 One of the more common news items of military interest these days is to the effect that some military hospital has been brought under charges for neglect or mistreatment of patients. These charges have al most uniformly proved to be un- founded. However, after all and full explanations are made in such cases. the fact remains that such charges result in the first instance from the dissatisfaction of the patients.
 The enlisted patients at this hos pital have drawn up and signed a petition and sent it to the surgeon general by a personal messenger se- lected from among their own com pany. The petition requests that the enlisted patients be permitted to re main here until discharged. It also sets out in no uncertain terms the fact that the enlisted patients are sat ished with their surroundings and with the treatment they are receiv- ing at the hands of the staff of the hospital.
 We congratulate, the officers nurses, corpsmen and aides upon thus having received what we con slider the finest possible citation"
