NEED LARGER FORGE

Birmingham is growing fast, and with the influx of people naturally there comes per- centage of criminals who need watching, which justifies, in my opinion, Chief McDuff's plea for greater force. His request for 100 men should be granted and the budget aug mented to such an extent as to warrant these additional men, said George R. Trafford, sec retary to the commissioner of public safety.
 eve have one of the greatest police organ izations in the south, although handicapped on account of the lack of men. I am in a posi- tion to know the facts relative to the work done by the police department of Birmingham and in my opinion the men as whole match up in work and efficiency with any police organ ization of the south."

Thomas Collins and other mining men who are familiar with the south western copper region, have secured control of the Shea mine, at Jerome, Ariz., and will soon commence active operations there. Plenty of capital has been secured for thi spurpose, a large territory has been secured on very favorable terms, and the work of de- velopment will be in competent hands. The Shea has good ore in the bottom of the shaft, and stopped work about the time it was beginning to take on important proportions. The war inter fered with progress. The ore was of fine quality. and some of it that was treated in the Calumet & Arizona shelter proved it to be of very de- sirable character, valuable as a mix for the regular ores of this company. Certain geological conditions present in the property are considered very favorable for the finding of ore bodies at a point somewhat deeper than the present bottom of the shaft. It will be the plan to sink the shaft several hundred feet and to run levels from it in the usual way to prove the sur rounding territory. Several of the lead ing nlSning men of the southwest, as

PRESSURE IN RAILS CAUSE
 SONE DECLINE
Oils Are Heavy Throughout; All Except British Ex-
 change Depreciate

NEW YORK, July S.-Selling for both accounts today's short but active stock market session was largeley in spired by overnight advices which di- rected renewed attention to the more critical conditions in continental Eur ope.
 Rails forfeited the better part of their mid-week advances, pressure be- ing especially marked against Louis vile and Nashville and several of the grangers, coalers and transcontinen- tals at extreme declines of one to five points.
 Domestic oils were heavy throughout and attempts to revive the group un- der cover of a edmand for Mexicans were unavailing, final quotations show ing substantial losses.
 Independent steels were bouyed for a time on indication that all merger" difficulties had been overcome but these issues reacted later on compar- atively small offereings. Coppers. equipments, shippings and popular miscellaneous issues were included in the general recessions at the heavy to weak close. Sales amounted to 3S5.000 shares.
 ASdiu, tACCptiu6 Nuc fdlC Ou lOuuOA all allied foreign exchanges were low CT, while the German mark fell to new level of depreciation at fraction under .01S, rallying to a point slightly above .019 before the colse of the mar ket. |
 Confirmation of recent reports that the British government is preparing to pay interest on her war obliga- tions to this country was found in the arrival of gold bars amounting to about S2,50O,0OO to be applied to that account.
 The weekly returns of the clearing house banks were favorable in that they disclosed another reduction of actual loans and discounts making a total contraction of about $153.000.000 in the past fortnight. The cash gain of $21 ,000 ,000 was accompanied by an increase of excess reserves to almost S3S,000,000.

VERDE CENTRAL
 ACQUIRES MORE
 JEROME CLAIMS
Newett Says New Acreage Is Desirable by Reason of Its
 Encouraging Appearance

Verde Central Copepr Company has acquired several additional claims in the Jerome, Ariz, camp, these being contiguous to those that formerly comprised the holdings of the com pany. writes George A. Newett. In view of the developments now under way at the property, this additional acreage is very important, as it gives the company an outlet for it's ores fin case the developments result as is hoped. One of the drifts be- ing run suggested the addition of more ground in that immediate vi cinity, and this has now been ob- tained. In view of the encouraging appearance of all the openings now being run the enw acreage is very desirable. Or at least one of the several claims secured in this late transaction there is a fine mineral showing on surface, gossan being in evidence, and shallow shaft sunk near this point also shows mineral. In one of the drifts being run on Verde Central property, native cop per was found, one day last week, which is an encouraging sign. Thomas Cillins, who recently visited the property, and who is heavily in- terested in it, reports that develop ments now have reached a very in- teresting stage.
 The new shaft has holed into the old and from now on the task of sinking and drifting will make greater headway than before. The ,,aur DIoDt ic Onaratinor cD,OOthIv and satisfactorily and is great improve 'ment over the old. Great interest attaches to the operations of, Verde Central and progress there is, being closely watched by the many inter- ested. People in Jerome are very bullish on the property and are ad- vising all their friends to hold onto the stock, they believing it will be worth much more money in the near future Calumet & Arizona Mining Company, which has an option on the majority of the stock of the company, is conducting the explora- tory work, and will give it it's usual close and skilled attention.
 Should a good mine be developed here it will be very fine thing for the shareholders of Calumet & Ari. zona as well as for Verde Central stockholders. The property recently acquired, by purchase, will give plen- tyo of room in case a mine is found, and it may prove that these new claims will also prove to hold ore in commercial quantity. It is to de eide these things that operations are bainp nuShed so steadily Three shifts are being worked.

Ariz. Commercial Cuts Down Costs Since Re-Opening

Since it resumed production early this year, the Arizona Commercial Mining company has been steadily whittling down costs. It is at present producing copper and laying it down in New York at cost of less than 10 3-4 cents per pound, says the Bos- ton News Bureau This includes all charges depreciation, construction ment work-and is attained on virtu- ally 50 per cent of the property's pro ductive capacity.
 In short, had Arizona Commercial the reduction capacity either at it's own Or at the Old Dominion works, it could comfortably produce 400 tons of ore daily, which would mean 100000 pounds Of copper a month, or just about double the present output As it is, the company even on the current metal market of 13 7-S cents is able to operate at no inconsiderable profit.
 Has Big Ore Body
 In the three months ended May 31 the company produced 1,500,000 pounds of copper. It is employing from 150 to 200 men and is at present sinking it's Copper Hill shaft from the 1900 to the 1S00-foot level The ore on the 1600-foot level is as uniformly good as on any of the levels above Arizona Commercial has virtually one continuous vein extending from the fourth level down to and including the 1600-foot level that will average at least per cent copper.
 The new No. 2 shaft sunk to depth of 1900 feet is bottomed there; is equipped with modern skip and con- veyor belts and is operating smoothly.
 Sells All HoId-OVer
 Arizona Commercial has sold all but it's June copper. That is, it has clean ed up all the carry-over metal it had and in addition has sold the first two full months output, April and May. This has naturally strengthened the cash account and the company is to- day in good shape financially

S5 Mine Prepares
 For Installation
 of Larger Hoist

The S5 mine, near Lordsburg, a c. & A. property, is preparing to in stall a new hoist at the zero or tunnel level. It is planned to keep the pres ent hoist in operation until the new one is installed, thus making the change without any loss of operating time.
 The depth of the S5 mine is getting beyond the capacity of the old hoist; the new one will be ample for the mines needs for several years to come according to present plans.

In Jerome And Oatman Fields

There is considerable activity at the Jamieson mines, at Layne Springs, and good ore bodies are reported be- ing developed. The group includes the old Jamieson mine, a good procu- cer of nigh grade gold ore for many years.
 Improvement of ventilation at the Oatman United promise to increase activity on that property. The Oat- man United is now breaking down ore and the bin is fast being filled with good grade ore, which will go to the Tom Reed mill as soon as the new sampler is ready for action.
 The drii1 that is being driven to- ward what may prove an important vein in the United Western has reached a depth of 5S5 feet and is said to have been in quartz1calcite for some time. A shaft was carried to a depth of 500 feet during boom days but nothing worth while was picked up.
 Arrangements have been made by the Black Range management to en- ter the property from the 5OO-leVel or the Nellie. A crosscutshas been carried from the bottom of this shaft about 200 feet toward the Black Range, with about 300 feet to go. Three shifts will be employed in driving the drift.

A body of sulphide ore, assaying 12 per cent, has been opened up in the Copper Chief but nothing definite re garding the size of the body is known as yet. The working is said to have advanced 15 feet in solid ore The find was encountered on the drift from the tunnel level of the Copper Chief into the Wonderful claim. Several geologists have predicted that this tunnel would not be profitable, but Superintendent J. T. Matson has for years stood by his belief that the drift was the Copper Chiefs best chance.
 With the taking over of Venture Hill and Verde Apex, the Verde Cen tral now has a solid block of claims extending practically from the Boston Jerome to Verde Combination.
 At the Calumet & Jerome a raise is being made fro mthe tunnel level to cut the ore deposits disclosed by the diamond drill hole that was put down from the surface several years ago. The raise is following a water course that will intersect the diamond drill hole at a height of approximately go feet. The diamond drill cores at this point are said to have showed a con siderable chalcopyrite contact, and the company believes there is prob. ability that the water course will lead to a good-sized ore body.
 Steam shovel work is proceeding rapidly at the United Verde with no sensational features. The big cut to- ward the "glory hole" is being advanc- ed and will soon be completed. An other big shot was fired recently ana loosened big yardage. Five thou sand pounds of dynamite constituted the charge which was placed at the bottom of 13O-foot churn drill hole.
 The Verde Jerome shaft is reported bottomed in a heavy iron gossan, which is believed to overlie deposit of copper. The iron, even at present depth, is said to show traces of miner alization.
