Geo. McFall came up from the AjO mines a few days ago. Re says that is the livelist section of country he has visited in ten years. Money Is plenti- ful. Every one is busy and all seem to be making money. It is the com ing copper camp. Enterprise.
 An apparently well grounded re- port from the PolandHrmiltOn mine says that a very rich strike of ore has been made in that property. No par ticulars have been learned further than that the ore is very rich. The owners of this miue visited the prop ert4 yesterday. and this striSe w7s probably the occasion of their visit but they are saying nothing about it.
 George Wood, the well known min ing man, returned a few days since, after an absence of several months in Utah on mining business. He will at once start active work on the develop ment of some mining properties in this county. Among the first things he will do will be to start up the steam stamp mill on the Bed Rock mine in Kirkland valley. He will also start development work on the Conner property one Lynx creek near the Mud Hole mine.
 Work in the main shaft of the De catur group has been further delayed by the non-arrival of a part of the hoisting machinery ordered some time ago to replace a broken part, but dur ing this delay Superintendent Owens has been doing some prospecting in other parts of their property, and with good results. Up the mountain from the main shaft a few feet of work ex- posed an eighteen inch streak of eX- cellent looking ore which seems wider as it goes down. This ore lies in the direction in which the drift will be run from the main shaft at the 300 level and makes the chances for a large body of excellent ore.-Jerome News.
 The Jerome News says that it is rumored, and with some truth, that on w. A. Clark's next visit to Jerome he may inaugurate some important changes at the works of his United Verde mines. It is said that the last cave has determined him to move his smelter to where it would be on solid ground thus relieving the mine of the immense weight of all that great ma chinery and guarding against any ac- cident to it by a cave in the future. It is also said that he may order the sinking of two more shafts. This change would mean a much larger pay roll in the future. As to his mines on Equator Hill, it will take a great deal more of development work there before the putting in of facili- ties for handling their output can be definitely decided on.
 c. H. Prahan was in town yesterday from the Verde King Copper com pany's property, a mile south of Je- rome, where he is runninga large tm- mel for the company, and received payment for the first twenty-five feet of the work. He says the ledge k one of the best he ever worked on, and the ore has increased in width as he went in on it. Mir Prahan said he had one of the best mines in Arizona, and has been superintendent of large mines in different places in Caiifor- nia. The Verde King people are throwing in their money, meaning to see every foot of ground in their seventeen claims. All the stock of fered for sale in Los Angeles is being grabbed with celerity by moneyed speculators.-Reporter.
 A number of Jeromeites who are in- terested in the Eclipse group of gold mines in the Cherry Creek district visited that property on Sunday last, and returned well pleased with the progress being made in development. and bringing with them some sam pies of very rich free gold ore. This group is located about i2 miles south of Jerome in the Black Hills, and is being developed under the direction of w. J. Martin, one of the owners. On the group is a small lightweight 5-stamp mill through which a great deal of the ore from this group has been run with good results. Al pres ent some Pacific coast capitalists are negotiating for the purchase of the mine. News.
