Copper Chief Makes New and Important Strike of Sul-
 phide Ore,
SAND CAVES INTO HOLE
 OF DIAMOND DRILL.

The Jerome News in the last issue says:
 The 25-horse power boiler for the
 Black Hills Copper company has ar
 rived and passed through Jerome Sun
 day evening on its way to the mine,
 and is now nearing the location where 1t will be put in place. The fact that
 the distance to the mine, by the way of the wagon road, is only about ten
 miles, the work of getting this large
 boiler up the mountain can be realized. The cost of moving the boiler from
 the yards of the U. V. & F. railway in Jerome to the mine will be between
 eight hundred and one thousand dol lars. This new machinery will give
 the Black Hills company by far the greatest power for development yet put on any mine in the Jerome dis trict. The boiler was put on two
 wagons at the railway and hauled to the foot of the mountain near the Has
 kell & Kerwagen ranch, from where it
 is being blocked to the mine. Work
 at the mine continues to be pushed
 forward as rapidly as possible in the
 deep shaft, and the results are more
 than satisfactory. A better grade of
 ore is being encountered as depth is hc tuCI LndI III
 this shaft many feet of hard, barren
 formation was gone through before ore was struck, is evidence that the mineral lies at great depth in the Je- rome copper belt, and did not leach through from surface deposits Every shift worked on the Black Hills makes it look more like a big mine. Stock in this company is selling at 42 cents in the east.
 At the Cleopatra work on the foun- dation for the smelter has been com menced, and the plant will be erected just as quickly as possible. Those of our citizens who did not take advant- l age of the liberal offer made by Presi- | dent Hull on the Cleopatra stock are ! now shut off from getting any of it, | as it has been withdrawn from the | market in the United States. French | and English capitalists have taken all | that will be sold by the company. Deep | and thorough development of this | property will now be started and | pushed, and those who were fortunate | enough to get some of this stock have | secured a stock on which they will I make money, and lots of it. There | can be no doubt about the future of | the Cleopatra. Just as soon as work | on this mine is moving along smooth ly MT. Hull will take up the King Con- solidated and push it along to success.
 A cave in the diamond drill hole on the Harryhousen will delay the sink ing on that property for three weeks, as it will be necessary to put casing in before the work can be proceeded | with. The cave occurred at a depth of 297 2 feet, and was caused by strik- inc a sand fnrr11nfinr n-hi 1 high values in gold. This sand MT. Harryhousen predicted would be en- countered at about this depth, and also that sulphide ores would be found below this sand. The new formation is very encouraging to those inter- ested in this property.
 Work has not yet been commenced r on the Owen-Allison group with the diamond drill. This group is under bond to the Verde Chief company Mir Haynes, who is promoting the propoSi- tion, has already commenced deposit ing money in the Jerome bank with which to do work on the group, and it is thought that the drill will be at work there within a very short time. There is good showing, and it is the general opinion that a pay mine will follow development.
 At the North Verde a great deal of iron is coming in as depth is attained by the main shaft. The formation is changing favorably for ore.
 Four men were sent out to the Cop per Chief this week on request of Supt. Hendy of that mine. Report says that a body of sulphide ore has been un- covered on this property near the old l Duke mill, and that force of men will at once develop the new find.
 Holiday & Hooker are hauling lum- Der and other material to Sycamore canyon, to the property of the Syca- more Mining & Development company. Superintendent Knutson informs the News that machinery has been pur- chased and is now on the way with which to develop this valuable group of claims
