BOSTON, May 9.—The state of
Arizona can boast of the latest sen
sation in the copper mining field. A
property which a few months ago
was an indifferent prospect is now
selling in the stock market for over;
$28,000,000.
A record which has rarely been ap
proached in the history of mining, I
and never before in Arizona, was
made in March, when from the ship-.
ment of 6000 tons of ore taken out in |
exploratory work, the United Verde
Extension Company produced 2,000,- .
000 pounds of copper at a profit of
$450,000. I
The sensational ore development
is on the 1400-foot level. On the
level above, the showing was distinct
ly encouraging. There are no indi
cations at the surface pointing to the
values underneath. On the 1400 foot
level, however, the company encoun
tered bonanza ore. It had a draft in
the ore 300 feet long and in one cross
cut has demonstrated a width of at
least 230 feet of ore; neither wall of
the ore body has as yet been reached..
The vein is said to be solid copper ,
glance, carrying 30 per cent copper.
We understand one 75 foot upraise
has been made in 20 per cent ore. j
No one is wise enough to predict
the height depth or width of this re
markable ore body. It is a matter of
the future. One important -question j
to be determined, however, is whether
or not the vein is a continuation of
any vein which apexes in Senator J
Clark’s United Verde property, which
immediately adjoins. Senator Clark
has a way of claiming that everything j
belongs to him and if he can set up ,
a claim that the Extension Company’s j
vein apexes on his property, there are
possibilities of a pretty legal contro
versy.

Deputy Marshal A. F. Sullivan
went over to the mountain north of
town yesterday afternoon and viewed
the remains of the late Louis Short,
which were found by Elmer Postal
and George Taylor Saturday after
noon. Tiie hat and prospecting pick
belonging to the deceased were found
some distance up the hill above where
the body was lying, showing beyond
any doubt that the man met his
death by a fall. Under the circum
stances the marshal's office could do I
nothing toward disposing of the
remains except send some of the
prisoners over to bury the remains
where they laid, and the matter was
taken up with Mayor Patterson. It
was decided to send someone for the
body and bring it to town, and later
inter the remains in the local cenie
tary.
This morning City Marshal Scott.
Deputy Marshal Sullivan and George
Patten left with a team to tiring in
the remains. They will be interred
in the local cenietarv, and an attempt
wili be made to secure the $100 bur
ial fund from the Ketchikan lodge of
Moose, of which the deceased was a
member. In event of a failure to se
cure this sum a public subscription
will have to be taken up to defray
the expenses.

WASHINGTON, May 9 —President
Wilson has finished his reply to the
German note. He expresses satisfac
tion with the pledges made by Ger
many, states that he does not inter
pret the German note to mean that
the new submarine policy that Ger
many promises to adept is contin
gent upon the American action to
ward the other belligerents. He as
sures Germany that the United States
will uphold the rights of its people
against all nations, but the means
adopted to secure those rights are
not subject to the dictation of Ger
many. Germany alone, he says, is
responsible for the submarine war
fare, and to her alone must this
country look for redress.
