development work, and it will be but
 a short while until all of them will be developed into rich copper producers, and then the town will expand. The
 location of Jerome is like that of
 many other cities, where the valleys
 will have to be filled from the hills,
 but the business from her mines will in the not far distant future produce the capital to make Jerome a great interior city.-Western Mining Her Fald.
 J. A. Conlee a first class mining man who has charge of the develop ment work of the White Horse Min ing company's property was in town today and reports very satisfactory progress being made by the com pany. A shaft on the Hammer mine is down 80 feet. The ore from the surface to a depth of 50 feet, where sulphides were struck, gave value varying from S100 to $500 per ton. At the present depth of 80 feet these sulphides extend the full width of the shaft and will concentrate ten tons into one, making d product worth from S100 to S200 per ton. In the White Horse claim of the group a tunnel being run on the ledge shows from two and half to three feet of good looking quartz, but no assays have yet been made to determine values. On the Donna May cross cut tunnel is being run to strike the vein. This tunnel is now in POO feet, and in the face of it there is all ap- pearance of near approach to the ledge. The property is located only seven miles from town, in the noun tains just east of Lynx creek and to the right of the McCabe road. A movement is on foot now to have the county road changed so as to take in this camp. Mir. Conlee, in charge of the work on this property, is a mining man of great experience, and the work under his supervision will be performed in thoroughly systematic manner and which will be to the best interests of the company.
 The Ray Copper mines, limited, have mortgaged their property in Final county to the Trustees, Execu- tors and Securities Insurance Co. of London for the sum of fl3,565, pay able on June 30, 1902, and the docu- ment was filed for record this week with Recorder Payton. It is believed this means has been taken to get rid of undesirable stockholders who will neither do anything for themselves nor allow anyone else to, and the re- suit is likely to be greatly beneficial to this section in opening up prop erty which everyone knows is valu- able if properly managed.
 Dr. Carlos Montezuma of Chicago, a Mohave Apache Indian, has re- turned to Arizona and is paying a visit to his relatives who reside near Globe. The Silver Belt, among other things, says of the boy: "When he called upon us last Monday, Dr. Mon tezuma presented an appearance not very much different from the well to do Indian from the reservation, ex- cept that his face indicated superior intelligence, and his fluent use of the English language gave evidence of the liberal education that he has re- ceived. He was dressed in canvass hunting garb, somewhat soiled, and has just returned from the mountains north of Silver King. He is a man of medium stature, stoutly built, with an oval face, regular features and the thick black shock of hair character istic of the Apache. He has the easy carriage and address of the refined customer.
 There was some little stir in mining circles during the past week over the introduction of an electric ore dis coverer, known as Browns Electro Geodetic Instrument, promoted by Mir. Geo. W. Wilson. Mir. Wilson had a number of letters from reputa ble mining men in Utah and Califor- mia, through which he succeeded in getting together small gathering of skeptical mining and business men. He explained the working of his ma bO plOoCht. tlhNt oaSNOCOOi in arousing more or less interest. John B. Hadaway, president, and Clarence L. Barker, general manager of the Monarch Gold and Copper Mining Co.,, in order to give the in strument a thorough test. engaged Mir. Wilson to go over the company's property. He was on the property two days, and after locating lodges known to Superintendent Wom- bacher, and which have been worked to a depth of 250 feet, he located on parts of the property not yet opened, a number of lodges. The company has started men at work to open up these alleged ore bodies, and if they exist in fact the instrument will have many followers in this district. The in- strument's work on this property has completely captured the officials of the company, even the superinten- dent, who had the least confidence in the einstrument.-Jerome News.
