VERDE CENTRAL TO PUSH WORK
Review of Progress of Develop ment at Mine Made in Report to the Stockholders; Directors Meeting Held Monday
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Work on the Verde Central mine near Jerome will be continued as rapidly as possible during the com ing year, it is stated in a report to the stockholders of the company, made public yesterday. The report, signed by w. F. Staunton, president ,of the company, follows directors meeting of the Verde Central held here Monday.
 Since the present campaign of development work was started on July l, 1921 and up to February l, 1922" says the report, there has been done total of 1850 feet of drifting and cross-cutting, and 303 feet of sinking. From July l, 1921, to January l, 1922, the amount ex- pended has been $56,007.Sl, which in cludes $4,1S0l8 for reconstruction after fire ah1d $11,808O3 for new plant machinery and equipment.
 Tn the northeasterly part of the property, passing through No. } tun- mel at a depth of 100 feet" the re- port says regarding work accom- plished at the mine, "a shaft IS being sunk on a vein which traverses that portion Of the property in a general fly northwesterly and southeasterly direction. This shaft has now reach ed q depth on the vein of 600 feet At 300 feet a level was run, and some primary sulphide ore encoun- tered at l distance of l50 feet from the shaft Further work on that level demonstrated naturalization over q length of several hundred feet and general conditions pointing strongly to the necessity for greater depth. The shaft was accordingly sunk to to its present depth of 600 feet where a station is being cut and lateral exploration will be made while sinking still deeper continues. At the 600 foot point the conditions have become very promising and considerable high grade ore has been encountered in cutting the sta ton, the complete defination of which will obviously have to await further development work.
 The mining plant comprises two air compressors, one of 5l3 cubic feet capacity, and one 324 cubic feet capacity; a 25-horsepower distillate hoist; well equipped shop including air-operated drill sharpener; and a sufficient supply of tools, air drills, cars, sinking pumps and other equip ment to permit the prosecution of development work in an expeditions and economical manner, except that a larger hoist will be needed in the near future There has been pur- chased, but not yet put in use, 2O- horsepower electric pumping and lighting outfit adequate for present needs"

IKE OPENS UP BURNS OTHER
 EYE IN RING
Clever Little Denver Boy Forced to Call Halt on Sparring Be- fore Good Crowd When He Receives Second "Shiner"
By HEX

Half hundred fans who gathered at the fire. house yesterday to wit ness the workout of Sailor Danny Burns for his forthcoming trouble at the hands of Sergeant Jack Lynch, were disappointed when the Asparring was discontinued after two or three minutes, because clout by Young Ike, the clumsy but well meaning young Indian, added a second cut eye to the collection of the little Denver boxer.
 The Sailor eased up on his spar ring earlier in the week in an effort to heal small but aggravating cut lover his right eye. That wound had not gone completely into retirement yesterday when the Indians glove, swung open-handed on the brow of the visiting battler, nicked a second gaSh, this time near the corner of the left optic The nautical boxer stood it for a while, but then decided that it was practically 24 hours, so he called it day.
 Burns shows up to critical inspec- ton in very good condition; he is quick with his feet and the altitude has not bothered him in training, al- though the 10-round effect remains to be seen. It was said yesterday that he will weigh about 149 dolled at this time, which means about 140- 142 ringside. Lynch, who is nearly a head taller than Burns, will have difficulty, it is believed, in making 158, which is his heft for the Tanner fiasco of New Years day here, when the Wild One, virtually Lynch's equal in size, was unable to extend the popular Whipple Barracks boy

BUSINESS IMPROVES
 IN THIS CITY, SAYS
 COAST BUSINESSMAN

Business conditions in Prescott and Yavapai county generally have inn proved noticeably since last month, according to w. NJ. Lubert, repre- sentative of a California hardware and supply house, who was here yes terday on business with the Bash ford-Burmister company. On the other hand, commercial life in the southern part of the state, in Mir Lubert's line at least, remains at a standstill or has not increased much since the first of the year.
 The lack of business increase in the south, Mir. Lubert believes, is due to the continuing quietness of cot ton, where trade in canvass bags and other materials of cotton growing and picking, is not noticeable brisk.

 Appear at my court at 5 o'clock this evening" he said to the under sheriff; "even if the door is locked. 5
 Sheriff's cars are not required to carry a license number, said Justice McLane, but they are required to carry a distinguishing mark, such as "Arizona-5," showing what county they are from.
 "Whcn Furst was arrested" the justice explained, "he removed the 1921 license, but he hasn't any at all now, and that's worse, for the law requires one.'

BROKEN BOTTLES EVIDENCE
Whisky Spilled on Senate Cafe Floor
Mocks Curtis Demand For Clean
Up-Another Bottle Broken at
House Dry's Door.

Washington, Dec. 26.--An implied
admission that bootlegging had been
conducted in the capitol building and
in senate and house office buildings
was contained in preemptory instruc-
lions to capitol police to arrest on suS-
picion any person believed to be sell
ing liquor or soliciting orders.
That was the days outstanding de-
velopment in the investigation of oft
whispered charges of congressional
contributions to what President Hard
ing described as contempt for law de-
stroying the moral fabric of the re-
public.
Just about the time Senator Curtis,
of Kansas, acting as chairman Of the
senate rules committee, was issuing
the official order against bOOtlegging,
caterers to senatorial thirsts there was
q sensation in the senate cafe.
A negro waiter, Scurrying through
the public dining room, dropped a
bottle. There was a clatter of broken
glass, fragrant and familiar aroma
and a general sigh of dismay.
That was pretty bad for senatorial
protestations Of fidelity to the law
which bears the name Of a house men,
Der, but the house itself was not to
be denied its own little Christmas
drinking affair.
In the marble corridor of the house
office building, directly opposite the
door of Representative Upshaw, of
Georgia, who has threatened an eX-
pose of official drinking, some uniden-
titled secretary, carrying more inside
and out than could come within proper
baggage regulations, dropped Il bottle.
1t smashed to bits and the fumes
found their way over the transOm to
the Upshaw sanctum. The GeOrgian's
temperate sensibilities were spared
only because he had gone to Georgia
for Christmas.
Senator Curtis edict, with its tacit
recognition that Bookkeeping has been
going on under the very dome of the
capitol, threatened q holiday ipcon-
venience, rendered the more poignant
by the tragedy In the senate restau-
TanI-dIl lnClueuL ABOUT WHICH the M
lions capitol was agog with gossip.
: Senator Curtis ordered the police to
hold suspected bootleggers, notwith-
standing any influence that might be
brought to bear or any imposing names
that nigh be mentioned as prospective
customers.
Habitues Of the house galleries were
agreeing the pronunciamento Of Sen
ator Curtis, who Is a Kansas prohibit
ZIONIST, came rather late. 1t had been
no secret in Washington that recent
threats of official drinking exposures
lowered the cost of whisky from SO
to $40, that congressional recognition
of the festive season began with a
loud explosion last Saturday when an
afternoon of unusually flippant debate
on the naval appropriations bill was
