In the yards of the great smelte1
of the United Verde Copper com
pany at Clarkdale, Arizona, mounted
upon a concrete platform and en-
closed by an iron railing, stands q
queer little contrivance which resem-
bles in appearance a huge heating
stove. Attached to this object is a
bronze plate bearing the following in
scription:
"This is one of the two old furn-
aces found in place. on the Hampton

also the other one on May %, 1888.

Each Of the two furnaces to which
Senator Clark refers had q maximum
capacity Of about 60 tons of ore per
day. The present great smelter
plant Of the United Verde company
furnishes a startling contrast to the
little old relic in the smelter yard.

company from its humble beginning

the trip over the Prescott-Jerome
short line road. This highway is
fast becoming recognized as one Of
the most scenic in the state. From
wonderful mountain scenery to the
enchanted Red Rocks, their radiant
hues, changing into marvellous views
with each breath of nature, the snow
capped San Francisco Peaks, Granite
Dells and Mingus mountain, make a
stretch Of scenic grandeur for thirty
three miles that cannot be excelled
in the great Southwest.
The Prescott National Forest is
situated largely within Yavapai county
and its extent and elevation are such
as to satisfy the most exacting
camper. There are numerous streams
at about 5000 feet elevation, shaded
with wide spreading sycamores and
ash, and there are places in the higher
mountains at about 1900 feet where
a fire is not uncomfortable even in

of the romances of modern American
industry, and is an example of what
may be accomplished by faith and
application.
Proir to Senator Clark's acquisi-
tion of the property, several efforts
had been made to put production of
the United Verde mine on paying
basis, but after soEle Temporary sue
cesses, these had failed Now, since
the commencement of the payment of
dividends in 1892, the company has
record of dividend disbursements of
more than $70,000,000 It's mine at
Jerome has been developed to depth
of $500 feet underground, and is
recognized as one of the greatest,
if not the greatest, underground mines
in the world It's smelling plant at
Clarkdale is one Of the most modern
in existence and is capable Of produc-
ing at maximum operation 100000
pounds of copper monthly. At the
present time it is producing at the
rate of 100000 pounds per month
from Approximately 100000 tons of
ore
The United Verde mine is near
jerome on the eastern slope of the
Black Hills range Of mountains in
Yavapai county, Arizona, at an ele-
walton of about $500 feet The Clark
dale smelter is located in the Verde
Valley four miles northeast of Jerome
in an airline, the distance by railroad
between the two plants being approxi-
mately II miles.
Tho Ill 4Io1
Verde mine we're located in 1876 by
NJ. A. Ruffner At that time the
nearest railroad terminal was in Kan
sas and Mr.. sRuffner's assertion that
his mine would some day be worth
a million dollars was ridiculed by his
acquaintances. However, Mr.. Ruff
ner maintained his faith in the prop
erty and later, by an arrangement
through which they were to assist in
the developing of the claims, George
Nc Kinnon and Alex McKinnon, broth
ers, were each given one-third in
terest in the property. These men
worked for several years attempting
to develop the splendid surface show
ing, but on account of limited means
and transportation difficulties they
were not altogether successful. These
showings consisted Of large oxidized
quartz groupings averaging $500 per
ton in gold and silver, and also some
smaller quartz Groupings carrying
high values in gold, silver and copper.
In 1881, Honorable Frederick A.
Tritle, then governor of Arizona, be-
came interested in the property and
was instrumental in organizing the
United Verde Copper company The
three owners relinquished their in
terest for a consideration of $45, 900.
The new company was financed in
small way from the sale of stock.

Through the generous cooperation
of Charles Clark Of the United Verde
mine, the Verde Valley Golf club
boasts one Of the finest golf links
and club houses in the entire south
west, located at Clarkdale. The Ari-
zona state tournament for 1925 was
held on this course, which is one of
the sportiest in Arizona and the long
est course in the west, measuring
little over $500 yards. The club
house is conceded to be one of the
prettiest and most commodious in the
southwest. There is big living room
occupying the entire front half Of the
building, and back of this are locker
rooms for ladies and men, shower
baths, kitchen and such other accom-
modations as are required. Around
the entire building are wide porches
commanding view of the greater
part of the golf course and the new
lake, formed under the direction of
the United Verde engineers and which
extends almost entirely around the
golf course, recognized as one of the
prettiest sheets Of water in northern
Arizona.
Clarkdale also has the handsomest
and most richly furnished community
club house in the state. 1t was re-
Gently built, having been provided for
in the will of the late Senator Clark
and every resident of the little city is
supremely delighted with it.
It is beautiful structure conven-
iently located near the center of the
city on a height overlooking the
Verde Valley and affording a wonder
ful view of it and the Sedona and
Lower Oak Greek country In this
club house there is large woman's
reception room with baby grand piano,
large library and reading room,
kitchen, pantry, mems lounging and
pool and billiard room, card rooms,
etc. There is even a modern soda
fountain with cigars, news and candy
counters. The furnishings are rich

the rooms are dressing rooms in con- !

in the fact that annual membership
dues in the golf club, the improve

eve also maintain modern
hospital, stores, houses for our
employees, etc. The town of
Clarkdale has been built at
cost of approximately S2,000,000.
The majority of the homes are
constructed of brick and concrete
tile and are strictly modern.
The company has also constructed
many houses at Jerome.
"These convemences to our
employees are not designed for
profit. In fact, they are all
operated at a loss, which we
consider justified on account of
the protection and conveniences
which our employees may enjoy.
We are also making it possible for
our employees to enjoy clean and
heaIthful recreation. Baseball
parks, tennis courts, etc. have

and jerome. A golf course, one
of the most modern and we'll

Housing Shortage
Bar to Matrimony

BERLIN, Mar. 10. ([P))-Cupid has
been altogether too active in Albers-
weller Rhenish Palatinate, to suit the
housing authorities. There are three or
four lovers matches for every avail
able house for newly married couples.
AS consequence the majority in
the local council has tried to put a
check on the rush of young men to
the altar The members have decreed
that any man who married under the
age of 25 shall not be entitled to their
assistance in the matter of finding q
dwelling place for himself and bride.
AS the letting of unfurnished apart
ments and houses is conducted through
an official department which keeps
strict roster of applicants, their decis-
ions would seem to be, in theory, an
effectual bar to matrimony.
Going elswhere is no solution for the
housing shortage is universal in Ger

to do-to build house for themselves,
which is just exactly what the Albers-
