JEROME MINING NEWS.

President Hull of the Cleopatra Co. reports rapid progress in the develop ment of that great property. The sev- eraI workings are improving as they near the lodges.
 The Black Hills Copper company is pushing on it's new power house.
 The Decatur was compelled to sus- pend operations for a few days last week on account of broken machinery.
 B. N. Bartholdi informs the News that he deceived a telephone message from Mir. Monroe, of the Verde Chief Copper company. Fridly, informing him that development work would again be taken up on that property, at once, and that future develop mont would be the sinking of a winzc from the long tunnel.
 Increased interest is contored on the strike made in the Eureka Gold & Cop per Mining company's property in this district, and every day miners visit the property ana bring to Jerome samples of the wonderfully rich ore which is being taken from this property, and which is now being piled On the dump for shipment. The company continues to drive the main tunnel for the point where the two big lodges on the prop erty cross, and at which point it is eX- pected the main ore body will be en- ccuntered.

MINING NOTES.

The steam stamp of the Ideal com pany's mill. on Groom creek was put In place last Saturday. The main shaft on this property is now down 175 feet and is still being sunk
 Saturday last. T.. L. Bowman, presi- dent and general manager of the Rain bow Mining company, had purchased his ticket and was about to start east on mining business when he got q tele- phone message that the drift being run from the 200 foot level in the Rainbow mine had cut big body of high grade ore, and that he must come out there. Hence. he deferred his trip east and left for the mine, which is located near the famous Crown King mine. Tine striking of this vein is an agreeable surprise tn the owners, as the purpose of the funnel was, and is, to tap the main vein of the claim, known as Rainbow vein, which lies some twenty feet ahead of the present breast of the tunnel, and parallel with the vein just tapped Prescott Courier

Death of Chas. II. Myers of Tucson
 Sunday Night.

Charles Hermann Myers died during last night after weeks of illness, which primarily began two years ago, when his life was then despaired of, while he lay in his bed at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Fred Fleishman.
 He recovered to a degree and resum ed his duties as justice of the peace. until the office was taken charge of by his successor on January 1st of this year. A few months ago he again took ill, but was able to be out daily, and. as every ore could see, it vas with superhuman effort that he made his outdoor trips.
 Judge Meyers was born in Bremen, Germany, and was IS years of age at the time of lis death. He came to this country in 1S47 and served as a surgeon in the United States army at this place He conducted the drug store that Fred Fleishman vacated some time ago at West Congress and Meyers street, from 1863 to 1880. He held the office of city recorder from 1881 to 1891, his service as justice of the peace dating from 1869 to 1905

WHAT ST. LOUIS IS AND HAS.

St. Louis is fast becoming one Of the largest commercial and manufa curing centers of the world, and has there fore much of interest to visitors aside from the coming Worlds Fair.
 It has a number of mercantile houses and manufactories ranking first in their respective lines, the name and fame of which have spread through out civilization.
 Probably none other of these will ap- peal so strongly to sightseers, from points both of immensity and general interest as will the plant of the An hcuser Busch Brewing Assn. When. in 1S65 Mr. Adolph Busch took charge of the concern which was then known under the firm name of F.. Anheuser & Co.,, it was one of the smallest of it's line in this country, but under MT. Buschs skillful guidance it's Business increased phencmenally. New build ings sprung up like mushrooms, but on foundations as strong as Actresses, so that now the handsome red brick buildings, trimmed with granite and white stone. present a beautiful city in themselves. From an output of S.C0O barrels in 1865 it's sales increased to more than million barrels per year in less than forty years.
 However, the keystone to the success of this great establishment was Bud weiser, which on account of it's rare mellowness. fina flavor and exquisite tastc immediately became d favoritc among the beer-drinking people at all points of the globe, and now by far exceeds in sales any other brand of bot tied beer.

SONORA NJ. 6. NJ. COMPANY.

Con O'Keefe. president and general manager of the Sonora Milling X Min ing company came up from Tubutama Wednesday evening to meet J. H. Smith, vice president of the company who had that evening arrived in the city from Little Falls, New York. where he is engaged in the manufac- turer of silk. Thursday morning Pres idert O'Keefe and Nice-President Smith departed for the mines at Tubutama. where Con says f1fty-five men are now employed taking out good ore. Con says the s. NJ. &c M. Co.,. will be repre- sented at the Worlds Fair at St. Louis next year by handsome mineral speci- men of copper which will weigh a pounds and assay 12 per cent copper and S7 ounces silver.

cated about midway of the claims. through which they can all be worked by drifting along the veins, thus re- ducing the cost of mining to g. mini mum. while at the same time the ore can be trammed to the mill-site for all most nothing. It is in every way an ideal location, and the lodges them selves stand without equal for size and continuity in the gold belts of this dis trict. This property was reported on by Prof. w. P. Blake, territorial miner alogist. who spoke in the most flatter-
 ing terms of the property. and predict cd that when the mines were opened up they would be among the heaviest producers in the territory The profess sor is the consulting engineer of the company. and the present work is done under his advice. The immensity of these ledSes was a great surprise to the writer. He had read the professors report, and expected to see something pretty good. but could not realize the magnitude of the veins until after wis iting them. If these giant leads carry the same values at depth that they do on the surface, then the Sierra de Orc company will have one of the biggest gold mining properties in the country. The work at the mine is under the per sonal supervision of George Reed, q Cripple Creek miner Of much experi- ence. Dell NJ. Potter is the general manager of the company, and the splendid showing made in such short time shows that he knows what he is doing, and that the company is getting full value for every dollar expended.

Items of News From a Number of the
 Larger Mines.

The Portage. Lake & Bisbec is hand ling the water in their shaft now with ease and sinking is continued steadily, a. depth of about 160 feet being now re- corded
 The Wolverine & Arizona has receiv- ed it's new hoist and other equipment and will have it installed at once.
 The Calumet & Cochise is $50 feet deep and going down at a. very lively pace. The ground is very promising and this stock is tiptop favorite-
 The Marquette & Arizona is stretch ing away for the 800 foot mark and in the best of formation.
 Nothing new is reported regarding the progress of the New Modern deal.
 The Calumet & Pittsburg is still wait ing to receive the new sinker pump which is coming from New York by express.
 The present conditions at the Mitch ell Development company are causing complaint back in Michigan. It is said that C. r. Moore, the former superin- tendent, resigned his position because he was given very little discretion in the management of the operations and concluded to withdraw rather than work under such disadvantage.
 The shaft at the Higgins is now 300 feet deep "all in line," and it is said to be the company's intention to drift under the hill at this point. As the shaft has increased in depth the faith in this property seems to have increas- ed, for it has all along been claimed that owing to it's location the Higgins should strike it soon.''
 Drifting at HOO feet. it is probable that the Lake Superior &, Pittsburg wil for several weeks or months to come concentrate its principal efforts to work at this point. It is probable that drifting in various directions sim ultaneously will be the order of prog ress, and it should take very few weeks to reach points that promise to be very interesting. Work on the level above is continued and the showing up of splendid indications continues repeat edly. In the No. 3 shaft a. force of men is kept at work constantly and though no new ore pockets show. the men are working in ground that shows up a heavy strata of ledge matter.
 The Junction is probably the strong est stock in the market at the present time. It is quoted in Bisbee at S16, but this of course represents the value of the share at the present time, and it must be remembered that there is yet due to the company S11 on each share of this stock only S4 having been so far paid in on par value of $15.

SIERRA DE ORC
A Big Enterprise Under Way in Gra-
 ham County.

A representative of the Copper Era was last week shown over the property of the Sierra de Orc company, which recently took over d number of claims in the Greerlee district, Graham ccun- ty The claims lie between the Frisco river and the holdings of the Clifton Consolidated company, and control two parallel veins which are three hundred feet apart. These veins average from 10 to 15 feet in width, and have been prOspected by open cuts for a distance of COCO feet. All workings show gold values, and in some of the rock free gold can be seen with the naked eye. Some very fine specimens of free gold have been taken from different places along these lodges. Since assuming charge of the property the company has commenced driving q tunnel which will cut the first ledge in about 1000 feet at a depth of 600 feet The same tunnel will be continued to the second ledge, which will be cut at a depth of 1000 feet. The tunnel is now in 200 feet, and is d fine piece of mining work. The tunnel is located 22O0 feet from the river, at an elevation of about 800 feet
 The company own patented mill site on the river immediately below the tun- nel site, where it will erect it's reduc- tion works when the property is devel- Oped. A sufficient flow of water for camp purposes was struck in driving the tunnel, which is a. great convent ence. The water is pure and soft and the flow is being increased as the tun- mel progresses. A good trail has been built from the river to the tunnel site. where most attractive camp, con-
 sisting Of several boxed tents. has been located. Work on q wagon road will be commenced in q short time from the river to the camp, after which q power plant will he installed and the tunnel driven by machines, which will greatly facilitate the work. The tunnel is To-

 Present Workings.

MT. Henry Hamburg, resident direc- tor of the Princeton Copper Mining & Smelling company, operating in Ram scy canyon, Huachuca mountains, eight miles from the fort. is in Bisbee for q few days transacting some business for his company, says the Review. He says that d new tunnel is soon to be driven on the property at q point 100 feet lower than the first tunnel.
 Operated or as early as in 1880 by Ben Williams, this property is said by many who have visited it to bear many of the indications of rich mineraliZa- tion. Quite a- number of Bisbee people have purchased stock in the concern after inspecting the property and hay ing assays of the ore made. The prin- cipal values so far shown are copper and silver, the former running from 40 to 45 per cent, with IS to 76 ounces Of silver per ton. Some native copper nas been found.
 This property. which consists of eight claims, is in the next canyon to the Huachuca Consolidated, and has tun- mel driven in 26O feet which has cut through four ore bodies, one of which has been explored to depth of forty feet by means of winze.
 Substantial necessary buildings have just been erected by the company. and the directors now propose to drive a tunnel in at point 400 feet lower, SC as to develop the ground at greater depth.
 An effort is now being made to have the main Cffice transferred from New York to Bisbee, which will enable a more rapid handling of the company $ business.

further that the average number of med
