JEROME DISTRICT NEWS
Rich Ores Taken From District
 Carrying Gold and Silver s Values.
GOOD PROGRESS IS
 NOW BEING MADE.

The last issue os the Jerome Mining News contained the following Of in terest regarding the developments in that district:
 The Black Hills Copper Mining com psny is nearing depth of 70 feet with deep shaft, and continue 70 push for deTth with three shifts of eight hours each, which means that not a minute Of the 24-hour day is lost in the sink ing Of this shaft. It is still the inten- tion of the company to continue this sl aft down to a depth of 1000 feet, or deeper. before drifting, and the heavy machinery they are now put ting in place on tbe ground will give them power to go to an unlimited depth. As depth is attained this prop erty looks more than ever like a big mine.
 The Incorporation papers of the White Giant Mining & Smelling com rany. company organized to develop the Allen-Hoover group of claims To- cated in the Squaw. Peak district, a district located about 25 miles south of Jerome has been filed. This com psny has five full claims. punched, on which more than 10 feet of work has been dcae, in shafts and tunnels. It is now the intention of the company to do all of the work in one place. thus assuring the deep and thorough development of the immense ledge which runs through the White Giant group. From five places on this prop erty galera ore has been taken >ra. assayed 5 psr cent ore and carries owed s100 per ton gold. As yet this ore has not been uncovered in large bodies. Float has been picked up on this property that assayed S400 per ton gold, and, In fact, the ores from the Squaw Peak district have. ever since the first white men came to the Verde country, been a source or great wonder as to the immense values they carry.
 The promoter of the new company, Mir. G, NJ. Willard, has for years been resident of he Verde country, cuj well and most favorably known throughout the territory, and to those who invest in ihis proposition, his be ing at the head is a guarantee that they will get run for their money.
 The fact that the United Verde nine is in splendid condition, and that .heTe are immense bodies of ore III sight. is being demonstrated by the shipment Of ores from that mine to the Hum bCldt smelter. The ores being shipped contain 2 flux needed in reducing the ores being taken to that shelter. Su- perintendent Taylor continues to keep the II. V. smelter running to its full capacity
 General Manager Hull continues 10 push work on the Cleopatra shelter and is putting it together as rapidly as possible. In the mine develop nent wolk is progressing with most satisfactory results to all concerned.
 At the North Verde the deep shaft continues to 90 down without inter ruption. The formation continues to improve toward the carrying of ore. a great Geal of iron now coming in.
 At the Hsrryhousen the work of enlarging the diamond drill hole so that casing may be inserted, is stiii going on. and will be continued fo- several weeks as the casing will have to be run to the bottom of the iiole before drilling can be continued. This means that the present hole will have to be enlarged for 30 feet to its full depth. Mir. Haynes. who is a: the head of this proposition, will be in Je- rcnie within the next few days.
 Reports from MT. Leeper. promoter Of the Royal Irish group. who is in the east. say that he is meeting with great success in floating stock on his propo- sftion. and that the matter of raising an abundance of money for the de- yciopment of this valuable group Of claims. The Royal Irish claims lie up against the north lines of the Sep ator Clark's United Verde mine, and are considered by those who are ac- q, ainted yith the ground to be ot great vai-e.
