JEROME VERDE
OPERATING
AGAIN
(From Fridays Daliy)

tFrom Fridays Dally)
After over one and one half years
Of suspension Of the work on the
jerome Verde Copper company
mines. resumption was inaugurated
Thursday afternoon. or Immediately
after the arrival Of T. T.. Campbell,
the general manager. at the works.
Hereafter, the motive is 10 be en-.
ergetic and practical consideration of
the interests, and il may be stated
with a pronounced degree Of conf
dence that the outcome Of the enter
prise has every indication of proving
n success, from the fact that it is
wedged into the United Verde and
Little Daisy.
Under these conditions, which are
indisputable and evident from what
was accomplished on the Daisy, in
meteorological conditions passed
through, the Jerome Verde has the
incontrovcrtible earmarks Of also
proving valuable piece Of mining
property in copper and gold values.
The resumption Of operations on
this group was attended by many
expressions Of a pleasant nature from
the residents Of Jerome. and several
miners in the place openly expressed
themselves on the merit of the en-.
terprise, backing up their belief by
stating that in the deeper workings
as compared to the Daisy, both were
unquestionably counterpart of the
other. The feeling was buoyant, ne.
cordiBgly, over the outcome.
Deep mining is TO be the method
in the future of handling this ex.
ploitation, and upon it's termination
results are anticipated which will link
II to the Others in pursuing this note.
worthy rating.
In re-establishing the proposition.
Manager Campbell started TO com.
pletely overhaul all surface pipelines,
but the machinery in order, and start.
ed the hoist into action on Saturday
afternoon, which enabled an examina.
ton of all underground pipe lines.
These were found in good condition
after long suspension of usage. The
large station pump is now being in.
stalled on the PSI foot level, and n
bulkhead thrown in to check the
water to be pumped by sinking
pump, which is also being installed
in the shaft.
On examination Of the shaft, IL
was found the water was up in the
same for distance Of forty feet
above the fourth evIel, which is $50
feet below the surface. The unwater.
ing Of the mine will be further ex.
pedited by the use Of torpedo
bucket. II is estimated that il will
require about ten days to reach the
stump, when that point, $50 feet
deep, will again be the center of
the extensive exploitation to depth.
That the company is imbued with n
commendable determination TO solve
the future of their interests ms soon
as II is practicable, three shifts will
be put to work at the beginning.
The purpose Is TO get well within the
schists, before starting the crosscut.
In short, this was the original plan
advanced and carried out when the
enterprise was closed down over one
year ago.
II is significant, also, that in the
method followed out for this purpose
OF determining the valuation of the
interests q coincidence is linked to
the strike on the Daisy, which was
due practically 10 the came course
