 The season on doves is now closed and will not open again until Sept ember 15, next year. Rabbits are always found numerous in the brus n fields and there is an all-year rounu open season on them.
 Ducks are being seen occasionally along the Gila river, but they are scarce.
 The main reason for the ducks get ting to the valley so late this season is because the lakes in northern All zona did not freeze over as soon as in former years. Reports from the north have shown that they nave had the best duck shooting in tha' section for many years, and the warm climate was responsible fol this

BIG STRIKE OF oREIs
 MAIZE IN IERNME MINE

JEROME, Dec. 1S.-Discovery of a sulphide ore body on the S00-foot level of the Verde Central-a body which is certainly large and may be of vast proportions has sent the stock skyrocketing and given Jerome taste of the thrills that followed the United Verde Extension strike. It is now confidently predicted that the district stands on the threshold of an era of mining development sure to surpass that of 1916-17
 in every respect the geology in the S10 drift at the Verde Central du- plicates a condition that has been disclosed scores of times at the United Verde, and has always led to the large ore bodies that make that mine the marvel of the world. Old timers who have spent their lives in the mines of the Verde district take one look at that face and, without exception, agree.
 It's the big hole all over again.

BONDED DEBT tS.
 NOW DISCLOSED

PHOENIX, Dec. 16.-For the first time in it's history, Arizona learned today the extent of it's bonded debt, through the completiJnn of state ment compiled by the Arizona tax commission in compliance with an order from the 1922 special session of the legislature. The total bonded debt of the state and all O; it's ppli- tical subdivisions is $42,662, ,110 the statement shows.
 The order from the legislature came as a result of great confusion when an effort was being made to draw the now famous financial code. which repealed every continuing fund in the laws back to territorial days. Sena- tor H. A. Elliott of Greenlec county father of the financial code finally put a motion for the tax commission to get a total of he bonded debt from each county.
 The data was gathered with great difficulty, according to a statement by the commission. Under the laws of Arizona the direct state debt is limited in amount and the greater part of the indebtedness has been contracted by the different counties.
 On Sunday evening the Presbyter- ian Church will have their annual entertainment and Christmas tree for the Sunday School children.

BE CAREFUL WITH
 CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
In arranging for your Chr

In arranging for your Christmas, either in churches, or other public places and in the home care should be taken to eliminate every pos sible element from which fire might be started. In the past many Christmas festivities have been turned into mourning be- cause of neglect or careIessness in the arrangements. There is nothing quite so horrible as a panic caused by a burning Christ mas tree which often spreads the fire to the clothng of those in at tendance. Have care in pre- pairing for your Christmas festi- Vities.

COPPER NEWS CHEERS,
 PREDICT FURTHER ADVANCE

Much enthusiasm has prevailed around Clifton the last few days be- cause of the strength of the copper market. All stocks are higher and the price of copper is listed at 145s. Reports from the east say that cop per authorities are predicting that the red metal will be selling at six teen cents per pound within sixty or ninety days.
 Should this copper price prevail in the near future, there will be clear ing away of bessimism in the Clifton and Morenci district and increased activity in business will chase away the last vestige of gloom in this community.
