WIU. BE HELD AT CALIF VERDE IN CONNECTIAN WITH CARNIVAL. That Thriving Town Has Started on Campaign of Publicity for Entire Verde Valley. Prize Exhibits Will Go to State Fair. A vLit to Camp Verde by a News represen tive, revealed a thriv thriving - ing thriving community, teeming over with industry and prosperity. A com community - munity community that believes in publicly, not alone of the industries and natur natural - al natural advantages of its immediate neighborhood, but of the entire Verde Valley and its tributaries - and they are many and fertile. Realizing; that the cultivation of the many thousands of fertile acres between the terminal of the Verde Valley Railway on the north and Clear! Creek south, would fulfill one of their fondest hopes, the building of the Verde Valley Railway south through the valley to Camp Verde, the-'e people have started a campaign of publicity covering, not only all of the Verde Valley, but taking in the Sycamore, o>k Creek, the Val Valleys - leys Valleys of the Braver, and the minv otbJr productive vallevs trihutuary I thereto. They have prohibited the use of the I ammer to only the leg- ; itimate use for which it was first invented, and they are now putting! in every hour boosting for the Verde country, and the effects of their earned work along these lines can already be seen in many ways. Realizing what good work can be accomplished through legiti legitimate - mate legitimate boosting, the people of Camp Verde have arranged for the hold ; ing of a Fair at that place on Monday and Tuesday, October 21 and I 22, at which all ranchmen in the Verde and its tributaries, are invited 1 to bring exhibits of anything their ranches may produce. From the! exhibts at the Verde Valley Fair, it is proposed to take all of the prize winners and exhibit them at the Arizona State Fair ter be held ; in Phoenix, October 28 to November 2. The Verde Valley Fair ex-I bit will have a section alone, and the attention of the many thousands to the State Fair wil be culled to the exhibit in every possible manner It is not d ffieult for even those who have not been initialed into the schonl of miblieity, tu see of svhat immense benefit the success of this undertaki ig will be to the ranchmen, and not alone to the ranchmen, but to every resident of the Verde country. It will, more substan tially, than it would be possible in any other wav, bring before the outside world, the great possibilities of one of the richest producing countrie-i in the world. Every rr-id»-ni in the valleys north, east and south of Jerome should take an interest in the Verde Valley Fair, and do <-v ryth ng in their power to help the Camp Verde people make of it a grand success. In connection with the Fair there will be a two dav carnival of eports, consisting of cowboy sjmrts, horse races, foot races, etc., etc. Those in charge propose to make this a most interesting part of the Fair. The writer had not visited Camp Verde for a period of about eighteen months, and was 'surprised at the many substantial improve improvements - ments improvements ni ide in that end of the valley Camp Verde has now two large mercantile establishments, tba I of Wingfield Brothers, in which the post offic ; is located, and the D W. Wingfield establishment. in connection with which there is an ice plant, which supp'ies the country lor miles around with an excellent article of ice. A short dis'ance east of Camp Verde, on the ranch of the Hon. Wm. Wingfield, there is a cam.ing factory, that, since its installation ; two or three years ago, has proven a money maker, While all kinds of fruits and vegetables areca <ned at this establishment, the,}' are mak ing a specialty of tom itoes this season. At the Camp there is a good hotel, where a splendid table and and excellent sleeping accommodations can be found. In fact better than usually can be found in'townso' much larger size throughout the country, The Jake Webber blacksmith shop is still one of the institutions of that place, but with the advent of the uutomMile, which came about with the building of the State highway through Camp Verde, Jake is compelled to put in a good deal of his time working over crippled autos. So much of his lime has been given over to this work lately that he has become known as an expert at the busine-s to those who joy joyride - ride joyride in that direction. And then they have the oil fie ! ds right at their threshold, and all resi Ie its - mm, a » neo, aud cnidren - in tbit end of the valley be believe - lieve believe that the hunt n>r oil will be successful. And their belief is so deep set that they have, mi several different occasiims went down in their jeans to help along the cotnpuny headed by Chairman Wm. Stephens of ihe Yavapai County Beard of Supervisors. "Wh),"said one of Camp Verde's business men, "it is only a short time ago that our citizens demonstrated their confidence in the ultimate result of the hunt lor oil by the Stephens company, by putting another SI7OO into the treasury of that concern." , Continuing he said: "There is no doubt that they have struck a fl «w of oil, and we have teen told by ex experts - perts experts who hive visited the we I, that if the hole was properly cased the fliw of oil would amount to fitly barrels per day of high grade oil. But, however true this may be as to amount, there can be no doubt as to the truth of their having struck oil. and, we believe, that it is much more than an even bet that, with depth, the well now being drilled will prove a pay proposition." With so many natural resources, backed by industrious, up-to up-todate - date up-todate hustling citizens, Camp Verde is bound lo grow, and with her growth will come the railroad.

There are many street rumors regarding the Jerome-Verde an I the United Verde Extension properties. It is said there is a deal o > to consolidate the properties, and the delay in starting developmtu; on both properties is caused by this pending deal. Other rumors Sav that both properties will be stalled up independently within the nex' thirty days. However this may be, Superintendent Mahoney con continues - tinues continues to keep the underground workings of the Extension clear of water, and the stock of that co opatty is doing things on the curb in New York and Boston. The Boston Financial News, in its weekly curb transaction report for week ending September 14, says that Um United Verde Extension (Jerome, Ariz., copper) advanced 16 cci.U during that week, The price for the week ranging from 47 to 64 cen A gain of 16 cents over the price of the previous week. The par va' of the U. V. Extension stock is 50 cents ter share. The eastern pah. lie evidently know a good thing when they run up against it. In hopes that he can interest eastern capital in the ground non of the Arkansas A Arizona Copper Company's holdings, James Movie left for the east Monday last. President Hull of the Cleopatra and Hull companies, who has re returned - turned returned from a visit to Swansea, Arizona, reports that the smelter . ; that place is working, and that a large force of men are operate g in the mine. He says that with sulphide ores to reduce the ores fr< ; ; the Swansea mine, the company would b< able to pay big dividen. s. At the Calumet & Jerome work on the development tunnel is p grossing rapidly. -The formations being encountered are what w s figured on when this work was started. At the Arkansas A Arizona, work in the crosscut from the T. ) foot station in the shaft, and in the winze being sunk from thiscro-- cut, is progressing without interruption, and with satisfactory resm. . to-the management. They continue to take some sulphides both workings. _ . The Jerome-Verde Company continue to build bridges and L.'r prove the road running from Main street down to the company's p* - psrty. This work is being dme to prepare the road for the movii g over of its heavy new machinery that is now on the way the mine.

This important question will be au auowered - owered auowered just prior to opening of the great State Fair in Phoenix in October. The members of the Fair Commission, as assisted - sisted assisted by the papers of the State, will conduct a voting contest in every town and county in Arizona. The object will be to secure the most popular young lady in the State, who will be crowned Queen of Arizona and who will be the central figure .at the Fair. Who Whoever - ever Whoever »his young lady may prove to be, she has a royal good time in store for her. Round trip railroad tickets will be furnished the Queen and a compan companion, - ion, companion, a fine suite of rooms at the Hotel Adams will be given them, a splendid box at the Fair will be at their disposal and, during every minute of her stay in Phoenix, a powerful big automobile will be at th? beck and call of the Queen. In every paper in Arizona, coupons, good for a thousand votes are being published today. This coupon, when filled out and accompanied by a dollar, and forwarded to the Secretary of the Fair in Phoenix, will Im; good for a thousand votes The wealth of Arizona is divided evenly and it is a well known fact that smaller communities have their share and often more of this world's goods. Believing that the people of thesmajjer towns would take a great personal in interest, - terest, interest, and would send more money to back their candidates than would the residents of the larger cities, the Com Commission - mission Commission decided to make a charge of a dollar a thousand votes, in order to give the young ladies residing away from the cities an even break in the voting. This contest begins immediately with the appearance of the voting coupon in the various papers, ami will not end until a few days before the opening of the Fair. The exact date of the termi termination - nation termination of the contest will be announced by all the papers in the State ata later date.

croppings on the mountain top This small cut was opened many years ago and some very rich ore taken from what was then supposed to be a pocket. Along his line of pros prospecting - pecting prospecting President Hull concluded to extend this cot and d - 'Sdfiie worlx along the outcropping. He continued the cu 7 ! into the hill and had not gone many feet before they again pun into high grade ore, and this continued until a distinc I foot-wall was encountered. The cut was then turned north iand worked along the foot wall. From the mouth of th - ent to the face is about 8o feet, and in no place is it more than 8 feet in depth, and in some places not more than two feet in depth, yet they have piled on the dump in the neigh neighi.borhbod - i.borhbod neighi.borhbod of 60 tons of high grade ore that will average, ac - cording to fire assays, over ^o per cent copper, with pa r values in gold and silver. The lower grade rocks will rn i 8, io, and i 2 per cent copper, with some gold and silver. When Ihe NEWS man was on the ground yesterday, [they were working along the foot wall north, and taking o e high grade ore from a point where it was not less than 8 feet wide and feet in depth and. as all along the foot wall, was going down. There can be but little doubt but that this or - goes down, and if this should prove so, the discovery is one of great importance to the district. After demonstrating the extent of this ore body at the surface, it is the intention of Mr. Hull to drive one of the workings in the mine below and tap it at a depth of more than iooo feet. It is estimated a 200 foot drift from one of the lower workings would ex expose - pose expose it.

MBMIt News from the Local Mines. It takes something out of the ordinary, in the way of an ore strike, to excite the old-timers in the Jerome district, bur the immense bo.iy of high grade ore that President Hull ot the Cleopatra Copper Company is opining on the SH-nr claim, one of the Cleopatra group, has quickened tiic pube of even the oldest of our pioneers, and has caused many to make the long climb up the mountain to personally see if street reports regarding the discovery are exaggerated, and all who have made the trip relurn well satisfied that the new discovery has every indication of proving a big and perman permanent - ent permanent thing when developed.
