The ,imbcring of thc shaft to a depth of sixty feet is completed, the whim is installed and in working order and the work of sinking we'll under way. The ore body is improving in values as depth is gained.
 During his stay in camp, MT Block made what he considers very impor ,ant discovery in finding body of heavy black iron ore, thirty feet in width on the surface. He believes that the iron Is the eapping of a great copper mine as the new find is located two miles east of the properties of the Commercial Mining Company in Cop per Bason, which were proven las, year to contain extensive and rich cop. per deposits. Mir. Blocks find is a vir gin one, no holes being discovered on the ground to indicate tha, any pros. pcetor ever found it before.

Verde valley IS the paradise of northern Arizona," said r. N. Child CTS, who arrived home yesterday from business visit m the eastern part of the county Co Q Journal.Miner rcpres"n tative
 "People there are generally content. ~d and happy and no complain IS heard about hard times" he sad. "That the products of the valley find an easy market at good prices, is evidenced from the fact that there is no hay tberc now for sale. The entire pro. iset of last year was disposed of at n handsome profit in Jerome and the min. ing camps of the Black Hills range and the Big Bug district. Last year 's fvui, crop was sold on trees a, a good price and from present prospects the apple crop will be better than ever this year. The peach crop does not promise to he as prolific n, the apple, but the peaches are of excellent quality and will command higher price, perhaps. than if the crop was much larger.
 "This fertile valley is p"opled with very industrious citizenship. There are no dfoncs tncrr. |, Is true that some few ranches are for sale. but none st n sacrifice. Everyone knows that ih. land k among the most valuable ,n the territory and with the growth and advancement of the mining indus Try in the Black Hills, the demand for .ts products will necessarily grow, cn. hsncing it's value.
 "Farmcr, and stockrai.crs are pay 'ng more attention than usual to the breeding of their herds and horses. In The last two years many pedigrccd an. imAls have been imported and the i'm. provemcnt in the horses and cattle is already apparent. believe that in the neSt few years the valley will no, only lead in it's fruit and cereal products, but will also cSccll in high class horses and cattle.
