HOW MINES TO GUT PRODUCTION

Though ore production has prac- tically ceased at both the United Verde and United Verde Extension mines, the smelters will continue to operate for some days yet, says yes terday's Verde Copper News.
 The present plan IS to clean up all the ore ill the bins at Ciarkdale. This will take till about Friday when the fires will be drawn.
 As little ore as possible Is being mined at the Extension. The force is catching up stopes and otherwise putting the mine ill shape for per iod of idleness. Inevitably little ore IS taken out but not enough to make much difference.
 It is estimated that in the bins al the mine and smelter the Extension company has 21,OOO tons of ore. Some 15,0OO tons is at the smelter and the remainder in the mine bins This is enough ore to keep the smell ter running over two months.
 Operation of the smelter IS to De continued only till the brick lining of the rcverberatory furnace caves in It is in bad shape and when Manager Kingdom left for New York nearly two weeks ago he estimated that il was good for only twelve days. The lining may give way at any moment or it may last much longer than was expected.
 Like the United Verde, the EXtcn- sion will have to keep certain num- Der of men on the payroll. The fur mace must be refined and other con- struction work done about the smell ter. It is estimated that the mine cannot be kept in shape with forsC of less than 100 men.

YEAR REQUIRED TODETERMINE
 RANGE STATUS
Much Data Required by Forest Service in Regard to Forage and Alleged Smoke Damage Conditions of Verde Ranges
n.rom Wednesda1 s Dailyl


 Inspection of Prescott forest ranges in the Verde valley, under way by Paul H. Roberts, national forester grazing inspector for the southwest district from Albuquerque, will require at least years time before it can be conclusiVely de termined by the forest service whether the ranges have suffered damage from smeiter smoke, and whether they are ovcrstocked. This was stated yesterday by Robert Munro, assistant supervisor of the Prescott forest, who has just return ed from trip over part of the Verde valley with Inspector Roberts. The Verde ranges were inspected from Camp Verde to a point about eight miles northwest of Clarkdalc.
 The main thing the forest service is trying to get at, Munro said, is whether the range will support the number of stock now on it. A shortage of feed obtains in the dis trict this year, owing to light rain falls of last season, thus making it necessary for a thorough inspection and gathering of data. This is par ticularly true of all addition made to the forest last year, under the name of the Verde strip.
 Inspector Roberts, Munro said, will remain on the Prescott forest the rest of this month. The forest office here will acquire data during the year, on which to base its find ings as to the state of the ranges, with reference both to the ability of the range to support certain num- Der of cattle, and as to damage to the range believed by Verde cattle men to have been caused by smoke from the smelters in that section.
 At present Inspector Roberts is conducting an inspection to determ- inc whether sheep trails on the Pres colt forest are wide enough to per init the passage of the number of stock which will cross each year, or they will have to be widened.

JURY PICKING IN BUS TRIAL
 TOOk ALL DAY
Panel Ready for Striking This Morning; First Phase of Stage Line Litigation to Go Before Court on an Issue of Facts
nrom Wednesdav,s Dailyl


 Selection of men to try the issues of fact involved in the complaint of the Arizona Bus company that the Jerome Union Stage company has got itself in contempt of an injunc- ton Of the superior court, proved a task when counsel for the two com panies got down to business before Judge Sweeney yesterday, but only one man was excused from the panel. By a little after 4 o'clock, the court put the case over until this morning on account of press of other business and the fact that witnesses have not been notified to attend that day.
 A full box was ready for the per emptory challenges of the attorneys when the case came to a halt J. E. Russell of counsel for the Jerome Union, was for striking a jury then and there, but the plaintiffs counsel, LeRoy Anderson, wished to wait the morn as no witnesses were on hand.
 The preliminary statement of the case by plaintiffs counsel raised an argument over the admissability oi certain matter in the complainants affidavit, alleging that the Jerome Union had violated Judge Lyman's order by operating over the Pres cott- Jerome highway It was alleged that the defendant company had nc right to operate motor vehicles oi any class because it had no license from the state corporation commis- sion, and to this, the defense inter- posed the objection that an incl dental charge of stealing sheep could not be tried as all issue in the case at bar.
 Charles Reeves, one of the vcnire- men, admitted, an opinion about tho law of motor vehicles, and said Inc would not care to be tried by jury with the frame of mind he had. He was excused over the resistance ot counsel for the defense and ]. NJ Abell, pool hall owner of Jerome summoned i'll his place.
 There were two veniremen named Hancock. C. (. Norton of counse for the defense asked one of then if he was related in any way to tho other, and the juror replied: Just . brother-thats all"
 The brother w. R. Hancock made quite a plea to be excused from sitting in the case on tho grounds of personal embarrassment It developed that MT. Hancock sell: gasoline for company at ClaFkdalc and that both the stage lines in volved in the controversy are GUS toners. T would rather be in {; position where l can remain neutral, he said. He was passed by counsc for both sides and will be among those to be selected from thi: morning.
 During a number of months O litigation between the Arizona Bus company and the Jerome Unior Stage company, this is the first time an issue of fact has been brough into court for determination by jury Previous actions centered around re straining orders sought and resisted and finally granted ill the case O the bus company Defendants con tend that the law is unconstitutiona i'll that it provides a means whereby the corporation commission is able to grant so-called exclusive iran chise" to operate motor stages over public highways.

ownership Of the Gardner property on
South Main street, which the city re-
ceived as IA gift and IS now on the To-

felt that while the location is a very
desirable one for the headquarters

Community House such AS the Legion

that the property IN question, IN It's

of a liability than an asset under Lee

also felt that the price the city wants
for the estate is much more than they
should pay for home, this element
figuring prominently in the decision
Of the Legion not TO go further with
