The United Verde.

Some idea of the value of the United Verde mine may be gained from the statement that since 1884 S89,O00,000 worth of ore has been re- moved from it, and it is estimated that there are blocked out at the present time at least $50, O,000 00Oo-at any rate be- tween S25, ,O00,0 900 and $50.0OOOOO, and the statement is made that under the machinery in the Eureka stope s12,000,000 worth of ore has been blocked out but not taken dowI, be- cause the machinery plant would be undermined to do so The ground consists of some 26O acres of land, and the property was purchased by the present owners in the late eighties for S26,SO0. The purchasers, after look ing over the mine and taking into ac- count the copper stains that oozed through the seam close to the river bed of an oxide form, decided that copper values lay below the water level.
 At the 145-foot level the copper encountered in the iron hematite body averaged eleven and one-half per cent. From that point down thirty feet further it averaged nine per cent, and two hundred feet below the average was seven to nine and one-half per cent, and below that again a richer grade. The average ore of the mine runs six and three-fourths per cent copper and l,500 tons daily are pro- duced.
 The ore carries from eighteen to thirty per cent sulphur and is heap roasted. This is accomplished by placing it on eight inches of wood, piling the ore to height of three feet, the coarse on the bottom, the fine on top to prevent blowing. The wood is then ignited and firing the sulphur in the ores it burns for period of five to nine weeks, when it is allowed to cool and is sent to the furnaces, thoroughly desulphurized, the sulphur having fuel necessary to bring the ore to this stage. Ore running over I2 per cent IS sent direct to the shelter. Herald.

THE BOOKS CLOSED
The Total Acreage Signed Is Estimated
 at I95.OGO.

The books of the Salt River Valley Water Users association were closed last night and in round numbers the acreage subscribed is l95, ,00O says The Arizona Republican of July 18th. It may run a thousand acres or more in excess of these figures when the con- tracts in process or more definitely now in the mails are received and added to the acreage subscribed here.
 Also in round numbers it is estim- ated that the acreage signed is divided as follows: 80.000 acres under the Arizona canal, 60,o00 acres under the other three side canals and about 55, 00O acres south of the river
 It is apparent to all who stop to think that absolutely definite figures cannot be given at this time, for the contracts coming in late must be in- spected to see if they are ali right, time must be given for the reception of those now in the mail and the plats must be checked off to determine ac- curately if estimates made are correct. It is safe to say however, that the acreage quoted, 195,OO0, is safe minimum estimate.
 In a general way it may also be an nounced that the Tempe canal hold ings stayed out just as they had pre- viously threatened to do. though quite a number of individual landowners signed up, several of them yesterday, but they aggregate a small minority of the irrigable land under the Tempe system. Roughly estimated, about 5000 acres have been signed under that canal from a total area of some where between 25,00O and 30,OO0 acres, or about 25 per cent. Among those signing yesterday for south side lands were F. A. Hough of Tempe A. G. Hubbard of Redlands, Cal, who owns land under the Tempe canal. The total from the south side yester- day was about thousand acres, the total both in Tempe and Phenlx be- ing about 5000 acres for yesterdays work.
 It will be several days of course be- fore the books and plats will be check ed up finally and ready for. transmits sion to the secretary of the interior.

road taxes are to be paid in cash. The
good old times are gone never to re-
turn when John Smith would turn up
about 9 o'clock a. IN. in response to the
call of the road supervisor, pillow few
burrows alongside the highway so as to
dam up the water and spend much
time lying down in the shade OF cot
tonwood tree spinning yarns which he
dare not tell at home, going home at
11:S0 and repeating the performance in
the afternoon, getting credit for work
TO the amount of $3.50 faithfully APP
piled on the public highway. John will
now pay his $3.50 in money, and some
man will be hired TO do days work of
ten hours under the supervision of a
township officer, and twice the work
will be got for the money.
