,ona.,
 will be put on the U. V. and P. rail.
 road to carry the coke to Jerome. As
 soon as sufficient supply has been
 delivered to insure a steady run the
 United Verde shelter and mine will U start up with big force of men and
 things indicate that inside of three
 months close to 2000 men will be on
 the pay roll again, when Jerome will
 be better town than she has ever
 been. The business men and resi- ! dents of the big copper camp have
 had pretty tough time of it for the
 past few months, but the most of
 them have never lost faith in the
 greatest mine on earth, the United
 Verde, nor the city of Jerome, and now they will be rewarded for their Y patience and good faith.
 \ Report comes from Jerome, that ) c. W. Hull has discovered rich ore [ in the tunnel which was started by l the late J. P. Dillon. The discovery ' as reported was accidental. A shot was placed in the tunnel to straighten , it up at a certain point, and when it ! exploded it exposed lot of rich ore
 If there is any ore in the claims, MT.
 Hull will surely find it as he is very successful miner.
 c. c. Stukey, superintendent of
 the Bodie mine was in Prescott today
 and informed the Journal Miner that
 he expects to complete the work of
 transporting the new machinery to the above mine in a few days. The storm
 has compelled him to suspend the handling for a short time. He is feel ing we'll satisfied with the outlook for
 the Bodie and hopes to develop it into a big property. The mine was worked by the old method of Then scratching" years ago, about 1000 feet ! of surface work having been done, | but for some years no extensive work | had been done, until MT. Stukey i took hold last summer. He put nine men to work and after a good wagon road had been made from the mine to | connect with the Palace Station road, distance of nearly three miles, sys- ] tematic work was begun on the mine and has been kept up ever since. A depth of 200 feet has been reached and over 300 feet of drifting completed, showing good bodies of gold and lead ore. MT. Stukey is a thorough min- ing man and will make a good mine out of it if any body can, and he hopes to to be able to push the work much faster as soon as the new ma chinery is set and in operation.
 J. H. Hise. who left for Cincinnati and other eastern points a few weeks ago has made arrangements for party of eastern capitalists to visit this sec tion the latter part of this month to look over the Prescott group of mines in the Placeritas district The party will be in charge of c. c. Bragg. This section always welcomes men of means to our midst for when they have looked over the great poSsi Oili- ties for profitable investment in our mining industry they are the more , willing to invest their money in such l quantities as are needed to carry on these enterprises to a succe isful issue. The man in the east who has never seen this country can have no idea of it nor the amount of cash it really takes to put mining property in a position to earn dividends, and of course he often thinks more money is being expended than is necessary and is timid about putting his money into slch enterprises The facts are that ( it takes many thousands of dollars and often a double distilled patience ( to develop even the best mines to point where returns may be realized, . but when the harvest time comes it ( usually is abundant.
 A gentleman whose name we with |
  ing that white labor seems to be prac- tically thing of the past in La Can anea. It begns to look as though Greene, Scott White, George Mitchell and Jim Kirk are no longer predomi- hating factors in the management of the company. These gentlemen are right up in the front rank of natures U noblemen, and while they have soft place in their hearts for every Ameri- can miner, they evidently do not n look sufficiently close after the divi- g dehd item to suit the powers. Hence s the turn over in the affairs of the + Paso Herald. II
 All the building material for the Merchants Mining company has been t delivered at the mine and the machin- a cry is expected any day now. On ac- count of the recent storms the roads O are in anything but favorable condi- n tion at present to haul the machinery K from the depot should it arrive. d There is quite an active sale of stock D at the present time and at the present c prices. Stock is now selling for 60 t cents, but it will be advanced to sI W February 20. Intending purchasers D are taking advantage of the situation c by buying before the raise takes n effect. O
 L. F.. Hesla, the jeweler, who has U been connected with the jewelry firm c of Geo. H. Cook & Co.,, has purchased i a half interest in the Home Cabin V group of mines owned by John Bry- | ant, the well known prospector. These l mines are located in the Copper Basin c district, and show up splendidly for \ what development has been done It is the intention to sink to water level I at once and then drift and crosscut.
