a surprise was forthcoming from that field, although nothing specific was imparted.
 It was learned yesterday that the probable zone of the Jerome-Verde strike was in the face of the tunnel that passed through the holdings of the United Verde Extension, and penetrated territory north of the principal workings of the latter and situated to the northwest. The price of the stock in Jerome had advanced from 40 cents to 78 cents share, but this latter quotation is not based on the extent of the ore body deter mined, but is due to placing a propor- tionate valuation on an outstanding issue Of approximately 5,3O0,00O shares. The Jerome-Verde holdings cover a large area of territory, and are merged with the United Verde and the United Verde Extension on the end lines and to the south of the two above properties.

FEW KNOW THE NATIVITY OF
 THEIR PARENTS
(From Sundays Daily)

"One of the most difficult prob lens, find in taking the census" said Searle Shaw. enumerator of the West side of Prescott, "is the ques- ton which is asked relative to the birthplace of the parents of the indi- vidual, particularly when these par ents are born in a foreign country. Right now, would be a good time for people to look up their family record. Where the father and mother were born and their ages in particular. For instance, 1t is absolutely necessary for the enumerator, if a person says he was born in Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia or Turkey, as they were before the war, to enter the name of the province (state or re- gion) in which the individual was born, as Alsace-Lorraine, Schemia, Bavaria, German or Russian Poland, Croatia, Galicia, Finland Slovakland, etc, or the name of the city or town in which born, as Berlin, Prague, Vienna, etc.
 "If the person was born in any other foreign country the name of the country only is entered, as Belgium, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Den mark, China, Japan, etc, as the case may be. Instead of Great Britain, it is necessary to write Ireland, Eng land, Scotland, or Wales. If the per son was born in Cuba or Porta Rico, it is necessary to so state and not write merely West Indies.
 "The question, what is your mother tongue or native language" is to be asked of all persons who were born in any foreign country. By mother tongue is meant the language or customary speech before coming to the United States"
 Yesterday, at the chamber ot com merce office, MT. Shaw further stated | that he has just about completed the | south section of West Prescott and 1 that as quickly as is consistent with 1 the work being done that all of West 1 Prescott will be reached.

1920 FRONTIER SHOW
 ALREADY UNDER WAY
(From Sundays DailYl

That the 1919 Prescott Frontier Days were of such character as to cause favorable comment through out the country is proven by the num- Der of inquiries which are already be- ing received from various sections, requesting information as to the prize lists and rules for the 1920 contests. It is the intention of Arena Director Ruffner to have the prize list ready for distribution as early as possible so that contestants who are figuring on coming to the 1920 contests will see what splendid lineup the Pres colt Frontier Days give to lover oi the cowboy sports.
 From Fort Bliss, Texas, one in quirer requests information regard ing the broncho riding, the roping and bull-dogging, adding that his "proffection is bronk riding and fancy trick roping." From Philadelphia an anxious one wants copies of the prize lists and rules. From Lindale Georgia, another cowboy says he ex- poets to hit the trail for Prescott From Jacksonville, Florida, one oi the cowboys with Buffalo Bills show says he will be in Prescott on July ?, }, I and 5, and that he wants copies of the prize list and rules not only for his peruSal but for several of his friends.
 Arthur Hebron, in charge of the big roundup at Salinas, California, has written Arena Director Ruffner that it is their desire to arrange the dates of their show so that every thing will work out to the mutual benefit of both associations, stating: T fully realize the benefit of friendly cooperation in this matter and will be pleased to assist you, in any way" A remark made a short time ago by a prominent stockman ot avapal county shows that the men are all in terested in the big days, not only the cowboys but the owners themselves,
 This little remark is to the effect that there isn't a cowman that know of that when he's tying a calf doesn't try to make the fastest time possible. They all remember in the back of their heads the big events in Pres colt, July ?, }, and g."

COUNTRY RUINED BY
 CAPITAL AND CHURCH
(From Fridays Dailyl


 Arriving in Prescott yesterday from Italy, after an enforced absence of over five years, due to the World war, Mike Barretto, a well known mine blacksmith of this section, ex- pressed himself in terms that border ed closely on vehemence about his former country. He is a naturalized citizen and his experience overseas while visiting with relatives and his effort to get away from the stricken land of his birth, is expressed in the most pronounced manner.
 "I never want to go back until there is a radical change to take place. Since the war closed the rich are getting richer and the poor are poorer. With this deplorable con- ditiOn the country is religion ridden and dominated, making a combination of capital and church ruling the peo- pie with an iron hand It is a deplor- able and gloomy future to face these loyal people of the common class, and how long they will endure the cruel state of affairs so openly in evidence, cannot be foretold. 1 am happy to get back, and never again do 1 want to go over there"

 HUNDRED ON SANTA FEE
(From Fridays naiIY.l

Rumors enamating from Los An geleS state that after railroads revert to private ownership on March l, a mopping up of hundreds of auxiliary systems of the Santa Fe in retrench- ing methods of operating will be ef- fected In the sweeping action it is stated thar Prescott is to lose its dis tinction as headquarters of the s. F. P. & P, and that the general offices are to be transferred to other cen ters, principally the Los Angeles and Albuquerque terminals.
 This action is deemed eXpedient to coordinate the service and to reduce expenses in view of a general reor- ganization plan now being under con- sideration, in which the minimum of operating conditions is to be ob- served.
 No intimation, however, is learned that the shops of the road in this city are to be disturbed, only the clerical forces and the lesser officials being affected.
 When seen yesterday General Man ager Drake stated he had not been advised as to the above intention of the Santa Fe people, and believed that any early action as rumored was not contemplated.

SLEEK SLACKER GAVE
 OFFICERS MERRY TIME

Howard Brant, who visited Pres colt during the early part of the sum mer of 1917, coming from the south ern part Of the state with his mother and sister, failed to register for mill tary duty and made his getaway, branded as a stacker. He is coming back to Arizona in a short time, but under protest and in the custody of officers, to be taken to Texas.
 Brant hopped around the circle to avoid service in the army, and to .evade federal officers, touching at Victoria, B. C., Melbourne, Australia Honolulu, thence up the coast to Seattle, and back to San Francisco, where he was taken into custody early thmiS month. He carried along plenty of assumed names, that wore well, but the tell-tale birthmark un- der his right ear could not be camou- faged.
 It is said Of Brant that he is of means financially, but his patriotic ardor is very limited, in fact, he is decidedly yellow" as a San Fran cisco newspaper colors him, which refers to his case as a paralled to that of the Shattuck brothers of Cochise county, millionaire slackers.
 Brant is a natty young man of the dude vintage, and when in Prescott he was considered sure shot from a Kelly pool standpoint. But with a real gun to go on the firing line, his agile arm was not in good working order.
