J. l.. Fisher, of Prescott, Is maxim,
application for patent to the smalles
mining claim that has ever been pu
on record, embracing as it does onl.
seven hundred and thirty-seven thou
sandths of au acre. While plating tn,
mines of Jerome district Mr.. Fishe
discovered that the lines would no
meet, and upon investigation found |
small piece of ground about 200xl5i
feet that was not covered by any loca
ton, although it was surrounded oI
all sides by the United Verde holdings
With his knowledge of the location o
the big ore body in the claims of tn,
Verde company he estimated that h'
would strike the ore body at deptl
of so feet. At depth of "a feet HI
encountered heavy iron Gaping run
ming from 60 to 80 per cent in iron
This Gaping extended down for 2
feet, and on breaking through it, at |
depth of 40 feet, rich copper sulphuret
containing gold and silver, exactly o
the same nature of those in the United
Verde mines, were encountered, th'
entire shaft being filed with this ore
He is down about So feet now, but ha
not done any crosscutting to ascertain
how far the ore extends outside of tn
