Fine Mineral Showings Make It Easy 10 Enlist Capital Where Arizona Mining Men Are interested.

The development of. the Jerome Verde copper belt is progressing as rapidly as money and experienced men can push it forward. Legitimate conl- paL.es can get all necessary money to put into the development If prop critics in this district, if they will prove to the investor that they Will get A show for their money. The east ern man with money will not hesitate to put it into a mining proposition with local people, because ne. k3ows that the home people who have 3,ohey invested in a proposition are going 10 protect the foreign money also, hence the ease with which such companies as the Arkansas & Wolverine. the Je- rome Mires Development and Verde Chief. in which Jeromjt IS lave in vested heavily. arc raising money, and an abundance of 1t, with which to Ce- yelop their promising holdings. There Is no doubt but that outsiders slew much wisdom when they fnllcv focal people on mining investments. as peo- pie who reside iu mining districts for years cannot get away from let"miLg mining wise, If they would. It is SO in this as in other districts of great promise; the local peonle have ores and formations with every course. at every meal.
 The school children, during their romps over the hills and through the canyons, gather the ores or promising pieces of rock they run across and bring them home to ask their value and inouire if there may not be a nine where they come from. When the merchant, smelterman, miner, car penter, laborer. or professional man. has a day off he hies himself to the hills to inspect the new strike, or to see if he cannot find something worth locating for himself, and he is more exacting than the prospector, for anything that has mineral in it looks good to him and is therefore worthy of his close attention. and he invaria- hly follows with a thorough invesuga- tion of his new find" These excur- sions. of which he makes many during the wear. soon makes him intelligentiy familiar with all parts of the district and it's different formations, and what values the different rocks carry.

The diamond drill is now down 157 feet. and is at this writing encountering quartz formation, making the drilling harder than heretofore. yet good headway ia heinz made. Before the change in formation came the core for p feet showed copper sulphides of grade that was very encouraging as it proved that thev had started work above a good body of copper. On the otheE group owned by the Copper Chief. and which group is located in the Black Canyon, the company will. in the neal future, again start development work This ground is known as the old Bar tholdi group, and from which ore has been taken, packed out on burros ana sold at a big profit Of course those who have purchased stock in this com rany since it took over the Owen-Alli son claims, have an equal interest in the Black Canyon property.-Jerome Mining News.
