IN THE JEROME DISTRICT.
Winningham Group 10 De Worked
 by Scotch Syndicate. .

At present it looks as if there would
 be less claim jumping in and around
 Jerome on the first of the coming Jan
 uary than in years past. CI2lm hold
 CTS seem to have learned by past eX-
 perience that if they do no5 do an hon
 est and lawful assessment work on
 property held by t;1em that they will
 without fail not only lose their claims
 but the labor tney performed upon
 them With this knowledge inculcated
 into them and driven home by losses
 in past years, they have this year taken
 up their work early and in Q business
 like manner, and all over the Jerome
 Verde district powder is being burnt
 Ito good effect, and by the first Of Jan
 uary there will not be jumpable claim
 or fraction of a claim in this district
 There has been many body of ore
 uncovered in prospects while dolng as
 sessment work, such was the fact m
 the News mine in this district, and lA the numerous tunnels now being driv-
 en and shafts now being sunk in this
 district the next shot may uncover a
 pay body Of ore which will make a mil lionaire of another prospector, increase the income of every citizen in the dis trict and help hoist Arizona up another step on the stairs of fame as the great est mineral producing commonwealth in the world.
 It is the talk Of the streets that the trip of Ralph Dillon to Scotland has
 borne fruit, and that he is returning home prepared to commence work on the Winninghan group. The property we are informed has been taken up by a very weaI.hy Scotch syndicate, MT. Dillon retaining an interest, and he to l,os 1,o of Q pay body of mineral in this group of claims means much more to Jerome than the successful working Of any other one of l,he many promising groups in this neighborhOOd. The i claims of this group are at our thres- hold, in fact part of the residence DOT tion of Jerome is built upon some of the claims of this group. Under or | ders conveyed by cablegram, a numOer | of men are now at work there.
 It is gratifying to those who are in terested in the development of the Je- rOme-Verde mining districl to notice | l--e gradual drifting of her promising !! groups into tHe hands of men who have | the money with which to do steady | and effective work thereon The News ! and adjoining claims have been bond | ed on cash basis, to be paid in lump | within the next six weeks. The price is Q good one, and if paid over will go | a long way towards developing other claims held by khei present owners Of the News in this district. The St. Pe- Martin group is another promising property which has been placed in the hands of a wealthy corporation of east orn capitalists. This group is now re- ceiving attention in the way of devel- opment work.
 A gentleman from Camp Verde in- formed a News representative Thurs day that there was great activity iu the mines in the Squaw Peak district, md that large number of claim hold ; CTS had declared their intentions t. continue work on their properties dur ing the winter. The richest gold ana { silver ores ever found in the Black , Hills has been taken from claims in , Ee Squaw Peak district. Some not far dds,iaEt day the p1ospeot0:s who hold claims in that district will be well paid Tor their perseverance.
 George Mitchell has returned home / Q Jerome from Sonora where he went .c lock at some copper properties for eastern capitalists. He says that there s nothing in the report that he is to ;uporlntcnd the workings of the prop ,I'ty. As to the mines, he says hero l 5 a wonderful body Of ore there. Other. . experts claim there is $6,0O0,O ,OU0 worth ' T sight.-Jerome Mining News. .
