MACHINERY IS READY0L|VER APPROPRIATENESS
Cleopatra Company to Have 50-Ton Shelter Near It's
 Jerome Property,
LARGE BODY OF ORE
 BLOCKED OUT IN MINE.

G. W. Hull, mayor of Jerome, mem Der of the 2Srd legislative assembly from Yayapai county, and the owner
 of immense real estate and mining in
 terests in Jerome and the Verde dis
 trict. was in Prescott recently.
 He is president and general man. ager of the Cleopatra Copper company. and the King development company, owning between himself and the com
 panies he controls fifty-three patented mines out of total of I240 in the entire county.
 Speaking of the work in progress al the properties of the Cleopatra compa- ny to a Journal-Miner man he said:
 We have all the machinery for a new hfty-ton smelling plant now on the ground, all the necessary grading con- pleted. and are waiting for several car loads of lumber to arrive from the Flagstaff country, when the frame work and necessary buildings for the new plant will be erected and the ma chinery installed as fast as possible.
 Work is progressing satisfactorily on the tunnel, which is now into the mountain a distance of l,750 feet, tap ping the vein, in places 800 feet below the apex. The ground adjoins the United Verde mines on the south, and contains large bodies of sulphide ores already blocked cut. which we expect to commence to take out as soon as the new plant is in operation"
 The site upon which the new plant Is being erected is in Deception gulch. immediately south of the residence sec ton of Jerome, where is an ample wa ter supply, below the mouth of the tun- nel, and about one mile from the pres ent terminus of the United Verde and : tCAclhc railroad. The holdings of this consists of eleven patented claims, and two ug2atented ones which can all 5e developed from the main tunnels, which it is the intention to continue in the 1888 claim, which is located hard by the smelting plant of the United Verde Copepr company.
 In further conversation with Mir Hull it was learned that it was his in tention to commence active operations 1 on large scale cl the properties of ,he King Development company as soon as the new smelting plant under construction was in running order. This group, which consists of 33 pat ented claims, adjoins the United Verde mines on the west and northwest, the ground covering a never failing spring of water about three-quarters of a mile northwest of the United Verde at which point it is the inten- | ton to erect a reduction plant as soon as the development of the mines is tar enough along in the way of blocl- ing out ore bodies to insure e. = ous operation of a pretent' -~annu' The deepest shaft on = ,,e -'as lIant. 275 feet, in additiol r. gr4uiSl IS ar: ?:e thGl 5000 Feet of TgfeF sbaf,ss sIgTe iS,3 hels ana driitS' Involving an expendl- tuIe' II IS sa' l, of over $25G, ,Oah.
