nounce that they have struck the cele-
brated blue ground for which they had
been searching, and which, in Kim
berley, South Africa is considered an
infallible sign of the presence of dia-
monds. The ground was struck at a
depth of thirty-five feet, and contains
practically all the evidence of the pres
ence of diamonds which are presented
in the South African fields. This blue
ground is practically a pulverized rock,
containing manacOnite and iron pyrites,
which furnishes additional evidence of
the fact that the soil is diamondiferous
superintendent Cooney, who has charge
of the work, says the strike of the blue
ground has only served to increase the
confidence of the parties in the ven-
ture, and they believe more than ever
they have struck a diamond chute.
Indications for a big paying mine
could not be better than they are at
the Ironclad near Grass Valley, Cal.
At present a sample lot of high grade
ore, assaying over 500 per ton, taken
from between the 800 and 400 levels,
is being sacked for shipment to Selby's.
A rich body of ore is in sight in the
400 level, where three shifts of eight
hours each are at work. From the
$50 level excellent ore is also being
extracted from the slopes. The water
is now easily handled. Henceforth the
company estimates that there will be
nothing to interfere with the develop
ment of the property.

HAS GODD REASON TO SMILE
Developments in the Jerome Verde
Copper Property Highly Crafty
inu-A Few Pointers

Secretary Meyer of the General Sc
curities company can usually be found
with a beaming smile, but last week
the smile expanded into a positive grin
of satisfaction over the progress of the
company's latest and greatest, the
jerome Verde Copper company, the well
known property adjoining United
Verde Clark mine that has made mil
lions. Mr., Meyer stated that while he
had been satisfied i'm the past with the
returns from other copper properties in
which he with the General Securities
company was interested i'm the
case of jerome Verde he expected re-
suits equal to that of United Verde, and
gave as his reason: The same iron
dyke runs through our property a that
through United Verde. We are prac-
tically on the same level and the values
i'm our ledges in comparison with that
of United Verde carry the same and
i'm many cases more than does Clarke's
wonder"
The local Office force was busily en-
gagged during the past week issuing
stock certificates, and prospects for a
larger sale this week are very good.

AMERICAN COPPER
CROWS IN VALUE
MARVELLOUS PRODUCTION OF
RED METAL
The Mines Of the World Are Making
Copper at The Rate Of One
Million Dollars a
Day

As recently as 1888, says the Copper
Handbook. the 1906 edition of which
has just been issued by Horace j. Stew
ems of Houghton. Michigan, the value
of copper produced by the mines of the
United States was only $33, ,SS3,954, and
for 1904. only two years ago, was but
$105, ,629. .S45, the year 1904 being the sec
ond In the history of the country In
which the value of the copper output
exceeded one hundred million dollars,
yet, at the present moment, the copper
mines of the United States are produc-
ing copper to the value of two hundred
millions of dollars yearly, and the Lake
Superior copper mines alone are maxi
ing copper worth $150,000 for every day
In the year, or at the rate of more than
million dollars weekly. SO great
has been the growth of the industry,
and so rapid the increase in price of
the metal, that the production of three
counties of the single state of Michi-
gan is as great In value as the entire
copper production of the United States
as recently as 1S97-only nine years ago
and double the value of the entire
copper output of the United States in a
year as comparatively recent as 1882
Figuring copper at an average price,
throughout the globe, of 201a cents per
pound, which is trif1e below the aver
age quotations, the mines of the world
are making copper at the rate of exact
ly million dollars day for every day
In the year, including Sundays and holi-
days.
Compared with copper. the value of
the gold and silver production of the
United States is as a minor fraction,
great as is the output of the precious
metals, and rapid as has been the in
crease in production of the money met
ais by the mines of America. Another
fact of deep interest is found in the
surprisingly large percentage of the
gold and silver output of the country
that comes, as a by-product from the
copper mines. The vast and rapidly
increasing value of the copper output
of the United States which makes
more than half of the copper produced
in the world, is most significant de-
velopment.
In 1905 there were 1873 properties
credited with a production of one mil
lion or more pounds of fine copper
each. OF the one hundred leading pro-
ducers one, the smelter trust drew
ores from nearly all of North America,
while the Others were located as fol-
lows: United States, 46; Mexico, Il;
Chile. 10: Japan, 6; Canada and Aus
tralia, each; Spain, Russia and Cape
Colony, 8 each Germany, 2; Tasma-
mia, Norway, Italy. Turkey and New
foundland, ! each. Ninety-four of
these 100 properties made more than
100000 pounds of fine copper each in
