 composed of lower grace material than that of the portion near bedrock.
 Tn other cases the old river-bed has become filled with lava, which has covered the placer gravel to a greater or less depth. Subsequent erosion mayform new channels which ire quently cross or cut into the old de- posits.
 ''The deep pIacers, whether covered with lava or not, frequently become cemented into kind of conglomerate, either on account of the presence of oxide of iron, silicious matter, or cal careous matter, which has been car ried into the deposit by percolating waters.
 "The deep or buried placers were first discovered at points where they were intersected by the courses of modern rivers, and were explored by drifts or tunnels along their courses"
 Identical with the above formations are those through which the A. & A. shift have passed and are now pass ing.
 Thos. E. Campbell of the Harryhous- en is in San Francisco purchasing a large modern and powerful plant with which to develop that property. It is supposed to be the largest plant of the kind ever brought into the dis trict. Superintendent Deam is at pres ent sinking the shaft with whim.
 Shelter Superintendent Thos. Fay Tor is pushing work on the Eureka, the work being done under contract. Reports say that it looks like a sure mine. Frank Desault, the contractor, was in Jerome this week and was very enthusiastic over the outlook. The Eureka will develop into a big and very rich mine.
 From the MazatzaI Copper Co. s property in the Tonto Basin country comes the good news of the opening up of larger bodies of ore. J. ". Hobbs, a we'll known miner, prospect or and promoter, visited the Mazatzai property this month, and regarding 1t he had the following to say to the Prescott JOurnalMiner reporter: ". Hobbs, who returned yester- day from mine inspection trip in the 1 Tonto Basin country, is enthusiastic ever the mineral possibilities of that section of the territory, bout which | little is heard on account of it's isola- tion from railroad, telegraphic and lCLGLJLOAit liull-CdllOI- There is no boom there" said Mir ! Hobbs, but I saw some very prom, ! ising gold and copper prospects that 1 would attract attention in more favor ! ed localities. The district is 100 miles ! distant from Flagstaff 100 miles from l Globe, 80 miles from Jerome and los miles from Prescott, so you can see l that it costs money and plenty of il i to mine there.
 Tn the Mazatzal Mountains. a syn | dicate of Jerome people are opening i a group of claims known as the Cop pers. I look for a good property tc l be developed there. A number of oth CT outfits are working in different ! places through the district in small ! way, and many are taking out good ore.
 T believe that the district will some day, be a great copper producer but a railroad is badly needed there just now" he concluded.
 A representative of the News Incl Mir. Hobbs at Jerome Junction on Sun day last, and when he was asked as to the interview he said that he haL not half expressed his confidence il the future of the MazatZal Copper company's property; that therc was no doubt in his mind but that the prcp erty would develop into great pro ducer: that it's development would de eide the question of railroad building into the Tonto country. And from al along the line comes good news tc many residents of the Copper City l The success of any of these properties means that Jerome will contain more wealthy people than any town Of its size in the great Southwest.
