 FROM THE COURIER
 Civil Engineer J. J. Fisher made a
 trip to Jerome few days ago, arriv-
 ing home Tuesday. He says that the
 great mining camp is on the boom and every body looking forward to the
 most prosperous year in it's history.
 The Gold King Mining company, of
 which J. O. Martin, of the Journal
 Miner, is president; Attorney R. M. Ling, secretary, and D. NJ. Timmons, superintendent, is pushing develop ment work as fast as possible. Three shifts of two men each are working in the croSscut tunnel, which is now in about POO feet, while several other men are employed about the place in different capacities. It Is expected
 that the main ledge will be reached
 within couple of months and every thing indicates that fine body of ore will be encountered.
 Scotty Thompson of Jersey, was a welcome caller at this office yesterday.
 He will proceed to dig in the Pay master mine, which is the old Often. This mine was worked by MT. Kirk land in Apache Indian days, aud about $75, ,000 was then taken from the property. Mir. Thompson has found the pay streak again and is taking out $200 per ton ore. The property is located about two miles from the Jersey Lilly.
 It is reliably stated that work on the Senator tunnel will be started next week. This tunnel will go on to tap large ore bodies in the Ten Spot and claims. It is generally un- derstood that the company operating this property has in contemplation the erection of a concentrating plant at the mouth of the tunnel, from which latter ore cars will run out so as to damp the ore right into the bins of the concentrating plant. It is safe to say that when work on the Senator group Is we'll under way employment will bo given to several hundred men, in the neighoorhood of 300.
 Chas. Humphrey is developing his claims two aud half miles from Max ton, and has POO tons of ore on the damp which, is is stated, carry values from Si0 to s70 ton. Hum phrey's property adjoins the Venezia claim, owned by Judge Sloan and MT. Tomlinson, and the same ledge ex- tends through the group owned by Mir AIwenS The latter is, we be lieye, correct in his forecast when he says that the next three months will bring about a wonderful change in II Hassayampa dist jet; aud that not less than 1000 men will be at work there in the forepart of the present year. As this district is but a few miles south of Prescott its develop ment means great deal for this city. FROM THE JERoMa NEWS;
 The success Of the working of the ores from the Pfau mines means the employment of thousands of meu who will draw their polies from Jerome. It meauS that there are millions upon of tons of gold rock in the that it will pay to work, that was heretofore thrown over the dump. The Pfau includes what wBs the B. B. mine, and from which thousands of dollars in gold had been taken by Chas. E. Nathhorst aud partners sev- eral years ago. At that time only the oIes were worked. Super lntendent Tibbetts, of the Pfau con- pany, has immense bodies of ore b ocked out, estimated at 1000, 900 tons. This ore has been tested through a small plant on the ground, similar to the large one they are now erect Ing, and gave returns of $50. Nine- ty-two per cent of the mineral was extracted here. The new mill will have capacity of 150 tons.
