pTo spectUTs who fled in dismay when they struck this barren ground. Wili be surprised to learn that today this Is the guide post of the modern miner. who eagerly seeks that which tbe prospector of n years ago fled from. We now know that leached gTCnud generally over-caps immense bO'iies of su phides and that instead of proving that the mineral was ex- hausted, scientists now recognize in this formation sn unquestioned evi- de-ce of the mineral possibilities oi the vein where the action of nature lea ached out the mineral until ii found it's level al the sulphide zone. This has been made apparent ID every case where development passed through the leached terri tory; invariably enormous bodies of sulphides being found from three hundred to four hundred feet from the apex of the leachsd ground. The engineers n ths Pride of Ari- z0na Copper eu@npauy equipped with this Kpowisdge have made such discoveries that lead them tO be- lisve thA; 10 inany piases along the belt where such mineral now shows itself. the leached gone WIll cut out the surface oxides and the shafts oi the company will be 10 lescbed ter ritnry for hundreds of feet until the cropping o' tbe sulphides are reached

Speculative Features

Ia this development by deap shafts to search for the ore Q r- supposed to lay lower down, lies the principal speculative feature of the undertaking. IL is claimed that along the mother vein, as 10 all other great ore deposits. the sul- phiies wIll be found perha, 800 to 600 feet below the surface and that the ore bodies may not be cOntinu- ous. but be found m chutes or bo- nanZas, the size of which will have to be sJaculsted upon; also that there may be extensive spaces oi leached ground bet Seen enormous bodies Of s'iiphides; but these bo, nsDzas will be traced by following the lines which speak SO eiOquentiy at the surface. Tue engineers en- gagged in this great work state that for long distances along the vein no reliable evidence of mineral IS shown beyond sucb indications as Is recug niLed only by the sklllful scientist vet now and then somswhsr- along
 
 small rich streaks, which are almost covered by chloretic slate or birds eye porphyry, but where found they are considered true path to bu- nanzas. No matter bow careful ns- ture guards her wealth or boW care fully she covers her rich ore bodies with dykes, barren quartz or leached ground. the fullness of her mater nity of metal Is bound to buIstout IT some place, and it IS to search out these tall-tale spots that the scIeu- 1 tifc nhner devotes his energies Along this great vein, on which person can walk from Copper noun ! tain into Jerome, the Pride of An zona Copper cOmpany'S englneen have found four points which givs great indications of possible to ' manga few hundred feet below the surface, and It IS to sink 1000 feet or each of these indications that thu company will class itself as sPecu
 Iative venture. The study of thu
 belt by these gentlemen has e1 ! plained some geological problem 1 that will, DO doubt, be Of great in tersst to scientists. It has beel
 found that the Great Iron King formerly called the Equator, anC the Copper Chief mines, do not Ii,

 east from Jerome. Another re
 markable split in the bel. has forme'
 the enormous dyke that leaves th'
 Verde belt six miles south of Jerom
 and runs almost parallel with th
 mother vein striking slightly to th
 southwest. On this remarkabl
 dyke is located the mines that hay
 made their mark and are destined |

mine ID tbe world-the United Verde. Here a mass of copper ore has 1rtn found SO vast that fully l0O0 tons per day is now snelted into bullion; l200 men constantly employed, and the amount of mn. sral iD sight SD large that it IS va -iously estimated at from S30.OO0OO0 10 S50OOO,OO0 1t IS fully recognized that this eopps belt extends south to the Big Bug river, and even 23 miles south Of Jerome there IS svi- dence of tremendous deposits of ore in Copper mountain. where Ss high as Sl00,000 have been extracted from surface lenses For many years it has been known that this enormous copper bel swept, true as an arrow, down the east lins of this county, sometimes covered by pOrphyTy, then agtIu appearing at the surface. with indications of mineral wealth. Here tOfore prosPectors who have eX- plored the ground have claimed that the gray copPe. and oxides found st the surface was cut of by porphyTy horses, and that tt was a mining psooie too complicated for individuals, and only fitted for those who could afford to speculate. Oar ing the Jerome excitement the cap itsl that has come to Arizona al tracted by the Verde mines has clung to the country directly sur rounding the town Of Jerome. Many of the miLing claims being located at all points of tue compass. The idea Of following the strike of the great mineral bel, south aud developing in a scientific maaDer, some 0f the most promising copper indications, dId not occur to those now Operat ing further north in hopes of find ing the United Verde extensions.
 A syndicate was formeA in New York to trace out this Verde belt and so well guarded WAS thelr plans that no one in this city was aware that such an undertaking was under way until three months ago wher the press commenced to comment upon the fact that the engineers of Henry B. Clifford X Company were engaged m exploiting the Ysyspai copper belt. But almost day and nIghJ for the past five months tbs great work has been under way; al most every foot of ground between Copper mountain and Jerome has
 been explored, indications that the ] laymAn would pass over unnoticed,
 were carefully considered; great iron dykes, that have their meaning 10
 the scientist, studied with the same
 care that tbe physician studies his
 patient, until now their preliminary labors have been completed and 1t
 IS In or,ler tO commence mining upon such an extensive scale as will
 cause the Pride of Arizona Copper
 company to be chased as the most
 daring of all mining organizations that have vet invaded Arizona The
 engineers of this company claim tC
 have made startling discoveries, and
 that it IS simply a question of de
 velopment to uncover tremendous
 bodies of copper ore that may eXcel those at Jerome. It is deep min
 ing proposition sId only one that
 combined capital can complete, 8:
 the total developments contemplat-
 ed will reach fully sL000.0O0; but ? the probabilities of success are such that this sun does not deter the } daring operators, among whom, 1t Ii said. are some of the richest anC most skillful mining men in Amer . ica.

Mining intelligence.


 Charles Jett, one of the beet known miners in Yayapai county, is in town today. Mr. Jett Is engaged in mining about twenty-five miles soatheaSt of Mayer and Eve miles from bumblebee. He brought up some samples of ore from bis Gil lespis mine 10 have them assayed and was more thSs pleased, as well as surprised with the result About twenty-fve feet below water level he encountered a large body of ore with every appearance of pernAn- ency and vas desirOus Of ascertsIE- ing its value The assay returned from one of the samples gave . value of Sl30Z2 in gold and 8 : ounces in silver and the other S2l5lS0 in gold and 7.s ounces ia silver. Mir. Jett hss heretofore taken out shipping ore from this claim but the ore was not found iu continuous sUd com pact bodies Being now below water level and having contact vein of slate and siasite he feels reasonably certain of the perman- ency of the present ore body and csn now go Co work taking out ship plug ore. The second class ore can be concentrated, ten tons into one and give a product of S200 per ton. He says that fl the present strike holds out it Is one of the biggest ore bodies encountered 10 the county. Tbe claim was located about twenty-five years ago by Edw sru Gillespie. for whom it was named, and after passing into the owner ship of various parties, among others being Henry Wicksnburg. Mir. Jett secured it about seventeen years ago aud has owned 1t ever since. He has been engaged m ehloridiDg on it and has not yet opened 1t to sny great depth. The vein or ore body at the bottom of the shaft from where the above samples were taken is four feet wide. ln addition to this shaft be has another one On the ledge 300 feet distant down to a depth of loo feet. ln this oDs be has an ore body eighteen inches wide. continuous from the surface Co the bottom Of the shaft without a break, that averages S2J iu gold and los ounces ID silver. This Is fine concentrating ore. Mir. Jett has stayed with this property and Is entitled to all the god fortune which now apparently ---ns Co be within his reach
 \. Falco. who was out at the Big Bug shelter, says that the plant Es working very nicely. They are run ming about forty tons of ore per day through it al present. and have q supply on hand sufficient for over a month run. Ore is coming in quIts rapidly, so that there is a good pros
 Pect of keeping it ID operation.

The Lone Pine and Boggs |.

Many experts claim that the Verde belt south of Jerome is made up of four branches or dykes and that the ons which passes to the southwest at a point near the Big Bag smeltsr, will prove to be the quickest ID reaching the enormous bodies of sulphides. and they cite the Lone Pine and the ROggs as substantial ing their theory; but the engineers of the Pride of Arizona Copper com pany claim that while the Lone
 Pine dyke will evidently prove of great value, the true belt runs east some five miles and on 1t is located the Pride of Arizons, Binghsmton, Easy Boss, Copper Mountain, Mother Vein, Good Times and other mines. It IS upon the latter belt that this company proposes to do its

In an interview the other day with Henry B. Clifford, who IS siatsd for the presidency of this company, he said:
 "TLe promoters Of this great undertaking have shown remarkable knowledge of mining in laying their plans and have evidently prohted by

The Secret of Leached Ground.

Iu speaking of the possibilities of this company an engineer states:
 The result of study of the cop per mines of the world prove that seldom do great copper deposits lay close together, but that generally several miles of territory intervenes; scientists claiming that in forming a deposit of more than ordinary richness, such as the Verde. Copper Queen or the Clifton. that nature exhausts the metallic vitality of sey- eral miles of surrounding territory to feed the greater deposits, and that even in well established belts, it is not reasonable 10 expect & sec ond large deposit nearer than four or five miles.
 Possessed of this knowledge, 6 superficial examination of the ter ritory near Jerome leads the eugi- neers of the Pride oi Arizona Cop per company 10 pass over the ground near Jerome and turn their sttsn- ton further down the belt, aud the wisdom of this action will be here after explained. Besides the experts of this company have made geo. logical study of Lake Superior, Butte City. Montana, Bisbee, Cliff ton, Globe and the great mines of Spain, with the result that they were fully converssnt with the appear ance of leached ground.
 Of great benefit to future opera tions will be the results of the studies of the leached ground in the Verde copper belt, for it is claimed that their knowledge of this forma- tion will lead them quickly into a bonanza. For years leaehed ground has been misunderstood and many
