 Jerome, Oct. 2S, Special by Inde- dendent Telephone)-Hon. CIV. Hull, mayor of Jerome, and man of exten- sive mining interests in the Verde district, was out looking over the property of the Pittsburg- Jerome min ing company a few days ago. MT. Hull is a man who has spent the great CT part ot his life in the interest of
 
 fully competent to pass judgment upon a property. His many years expert ence giving him preference over men of younger years and less experience. In regard to the Pittsburg Jerome con- pany's holding Mayor Hull states that he was much pleased with the surface formation and also with the practical way in which Superintendent D. s. Cochran is developing the mine. The vertical shaft which Eis four feet two inches by eight feet in the clear, we'll timbered and as true as die, has been sunk to a depth of l07 feet. The formation dips at an angle of about seventy three degrees and in sinking many different strata have been cut, all indicating Of copper, the principal of which are heavy red oxide of iron, porphyry, slate and wide streak of heavy copper stained talcschist, which when cut at a greater depth will de- velop into high grade ore. Better in dications of copper could not be found and MT. Hull states that when proper depth is attained ore in large quantities will be encountered in the present shaft and that by drifting into the up- per lead, which is very regularly de- fined on the surface, still greater and more extensive ore bodies will be opened up. Work of sinking is being done with a whim, as at present it is impossible to get heavy machinery in to the property on account of the poor condition of the wagon read, but with the completion of the new road which is now being built machinery can soon be brought in and the work of development will proceed more rapidly. Speaking further, MT. Hull says he thinks the Pittsburg- Jerome a big proposition and in this opinion he is concurred Tn by everybody in Je- rome, who look forward to the opening up of a great copper mine which will be of great importance to the whole district.
