following the big determination made few months ago on the Little Daisy, announcement was made yes terday by arrivals from Jerome that a counterpart of the mineral com bination proven on the two mine: above. is now incontrovertibly linked to the Haynes Copper company. De cidedly lively is the interest prevail ing in that field today, over the out come of the exploration on the lat ter, lying as it does on the west of the big mine, and with the Daisy on the east, the extent of that vast min eral problem is connected with one of the most gigantic copper belts the world has ever known, or probably ever will. The important discovery that is now centered to the Haynes interests comes as the result of years of persistent and practical fore thought of a condition that has been faithfully fostered by every man en- gagged in practical operation in that field. With the Daisy exploitation solved, the striking of an ore body on the Haynes of a similar character, and through the avenue of the cross cut. only intensifes the mineral sit uatiOn evident, and brings another enterprise to the earnest eOnsidera- tion of the mining circle as of the greatest possibilities. Advices re- eeiyed from the Haynes camp are in teresting at this time, and from the fact that a big sum of money has been expended, the wisdom of the outlay is now exemplifed by the creation of another attractive prOpo- sition, and which begins the entry of another heavy producer in that section. The cutting into of the five foot body of ore on the Haynes totok place last Friday, but the dis covery was withheld until Monday. It was made on the 700 foot level, from a crOsscut run to the west. An assay taken from this body gave 21 per cent copper, $1.65 in gold and 10 cents in silver. The values occur in a highly siliciied schist, in the form of red oxides of copper, carrying in this mineralOgieal respect an exact character of the mineral condition that prevailed on the Lit tie Daisy when that memorable dis covery was made. This crOsscut is projected toward a point to intersect the west fault, which lies about 120 feet distant.
 The ore body being encountered under these conditions necessarily en- livens the possibilities when that condition is reached, and what may take place in the intervening ground to be opened is of the greatest sig nifeanee, and of the greatest possi- bilities also. In the past thirty feet in the erosscut. and prior to cutting the ore panel, number of small panels of leached material had been crosseutted. all of which returned good gold and silver values, with a trace of copper.
 On account of this very interest ing and encouraging formation being cut into, T. E. Campbell, the mine manager, has decided to continue the west crosseut to its objective point, the west fault, believing that before or when that point is reached a good ore body will be encount- cred, as has been proven on other ground under practically the same conditions In the meantime miners will be placed at work drifting on the vein just encountered, and the same will be fully explored.
 The work of retimbering the caved ground in the north drift will be completed this week, ninety feet of very heavy ground necessitating the use of the heaviest stull timber in passing through and into the large quartz dyke. On the hanging wall side of the dyke for a distance of seventy-eight, feet is where good ore was developed in the former diamond drill operations. This drift will be continued to the north fault, for 8 distance of 200 feet, and it is ex pected the continuation of the ore body as developed in the Little Daisy and the United Verde to tho east, will be exposed. There is every indication of this determination be ing given.
 The discovery of ore on the Haynes at the depth of zoo feet definitely proves that it takes depth in th' Verde district to make practical de
