Te'1i T.SIoh or Jas. Barney, formerly of TIE JEROME DISTRICT, (Jerome Mining News) J. J. Shaw continues to remove tbe ores from the fire district in the Int. ed Verde mine. The mart of +ba mine where this work is now heinz uohe IS known as the Hampton stope ana IS known to contain a body of ore 9O by several hundred feet in ex. tent, and then some The ground now being worked has always been considred the worst in the fire dis trlct, and the success here makes the removal of all the ores from tbe Ire district in the United Vede mine almost a certanty.
 Ihere IS now employed underground Tn the United Verde mine between o5O and 54O men. This IS the Iarg est number ever employed under. ground by this company, and success Tn working the fire district means mat this number will be materially increased in the near future.

 The work of cutting a station in the deep shaft now being sunk on the Black Hills property has been con- pleted, and sinking is again prog. ress. The results of the work so far on this shaft are more than satis. factory to the management. Ore is Oelng continually encountered in strtngers, and of a grade that en. courages the belief that depth will give the company big paying mine.
 Reports from the Eureka propertv say that good progress is being made ID US development. Sinking on the deep Winze from the main tunnel and the driving of the Gilmore tup. neI-the new tunnel started October ISt-ls the work that is now being oone. The Gilmore tunnel is being run Tn on the north and south ledge and will reach a depth of over 400 feet when 1t reaches the point where the east and west ledge intersects tn one being worked along. If the rock encountered is of the character 1t is thought to be. six months work VIII take this tunnel to this point where, it is the judgment of the min CTS, the main ore body will be en- countered As the Gilmore tunnel IS being run along the ledge. however ore may be encountered at any time. The ledge is 40 feet wide on the sur- face the filling consisting of porphrv and iron mixed. The company has made all arrangements to drive this tunnel to the intersection of the ledges.
 At the Cleopatra develOument work is being rapidly pushed for ward, and with very satisfactory re- suits, especially so in the face of the Dlllon tunnel, which is now on the King Consolidated ground. The change here has been most decided during the past few days, and several car loads of ore have been taken out with more still in sight

 After many years of idIeness the United Verde Copper Company has men at work on the North and South Venture claims. This property is To- cated just south of Jerome, and has produced some high grade ore in the past. The working of this property will assist greatly in the development of the district, as it is located in the center of what is thought to be one of the richest sections in the Jerome, copper belt, and is more than a mile south of the United Verde mine and putting up against the south line of the Cleopatra Copper Company's property.
 Superintendent Harryhousen has everything in readiness for the recep- ton of the diamond drill on the liar ryhousen group, and the News has positive assurance that the drill has been ordered and that it win be in Jerome within the next five days. if there is no delay in transportation. As the water pipe and everything else necessary for the proper working of 1t is ready. it is safe to prealct that 1t will be in operation within the next ten days.
 On this property men are now at work driving a tunnel.
