N THE JEROME DISTRICT
Favorable Weather Has Ena- bIed Companies to Push
 Development Work.
THOMAS BROS. HAVE
 INTERESTED CAPITAL.
tJerome News.)

The past week has been busy one in the Jerome mining world. Fayora- ble weather has enabled those com. panies doing development to push their work, and allowing visiting min. ing men, of whom there are quite a number here this week, to move out through the district
 Among those here during the week were c. s. Cochran, of Pittsburg, Pa. executive officer of the Pittsburg. Jerome Mining company; R. A Thomas. president of the Black Hills and Mingus Mountain Copper Mining companies; J. R. Thomas of the same companies, and MT. W. H. Bradley, { noted geologist and mining expert; Mir. Bradley having come here to meet Messrs. Thomas. for whom he went over the Black Hills and MinSus Mountain properties. President Thom as and MT Bradley left Thursday morning for Pittsblrg, fa., Mir. j. k. Thomas remaining in Jerome. Mir C, s. Cochran came to the district tt
 witnes the starting of the work in the 1 .o00-foot shaft on the P.-J. property with the new and powerful machinery just installed.
 The Thomas Bros. have been very successful in financiering the Black Hills and Mingus Mountain proposi tions in the east and especially in Pittsburg where the headquarters of both companies are now located. ID that city the Thomas stocks arc known as the "Pittsb1rg Pets," and are eagerly taken up by the wealthiest men of that city of billionaires. Both mi IT l.. companies have now unlimited capital behind them and the development of their property is assured. For some months work at the Black Hills has been going on as rapidly as 1t was physically possible to carry 1t forward and it was for the purpose of startine V orking the Mingus Mountain group under the same conditions that brought President Thomas to Jerome at the present time. As at the Black Hills, three shifts will be put al fework on the Mingus within the next four weeks. or just as soon as the machin cry now on that mine can be placed in position. Experts and miners alike will tell you that the Mingus is ono of the best pieces of property in the Jerome district. and that lnere IS everything in favor of developing it into great mineral deposit. The formations are right and the lodges are large and well defined. The Thomas Bros. were among the first people to come into the Jerome districT and take up legitimate mining, and through them, more than any other agency, has the capitalist been given confidence in our mineral resources and prevailed upon to place his money in their development.
 The starting of deep development on the Mingus places another com pany in the race for the ores that un doubtedly will be uncovered at depth all along the great Jerome copper belt. Like the Butte Montana, and Bisbee, Arizona, districts, the Jerome-Verde districts has had to pass through 9 period of doubt, but like both of these she will, ere long, take her place among the world-enriching mineral producing districts. For years Butte as known to the mining world as q silver producer, and not a very heavy one at that, development being con fined to the immediate neighborhood of her first pay mines. Later, pros pecting was started mile from thes' properties. and it was here, and half mile still farther distant, that Butte's greatest ore deposits were first un covered, and her great producers are now scattered for miles in every di rection. Such undoubtedly will be the conditions in the Jerome district when her belt has been properly explored
