He says that shs | has been sunk on the Jerome property to depth of sixty feet with very sa'is. factory results. A drift was run out from the main shaft forty feet and this alone proved satisfactory as 10 offer en- ceuragemeut to he owners and pros. pectors. A six-foot vein of copDer ore was opened up. The ore, which is ol extra fine quality, asssyed about 50 peI cent. copper and B in gold, lies be tween walls of porphyry and liuestore and dips at an angle giving evidence ot a fine prospect.
 Four men are now employed on the prospect and are taking out quite a bit of ore. MT. Thomas thinks that they will be able to make shipment some time next month.
