 Excitement over the strike on the United Verde Extension has increased. The fac. that the company has closed
 the mine to visitors, and ye. contin- ues to hoist high grade ore from it's workings has tendency to sharpen
 public curiosity. A visit to the ore
 dump by the Editcr of the News yes
 terday. made good the report that ore
 was being hoisted from the workings of the property. On the dump. at the time of cur visit, was wha. was esti-
 mated to be about fifty small mine
 cars Of ore. While the dump did not show a preponderance of .he character
 of ore first exhibited by those inter s.ed-copper glance. native copper
 and oxide of copper-yet the ore or
 this dump is of such a character as
 to convince the most skeptical that
 those most interested have the best
 of reasons to believe that they have
 exposed what Is the starting point to
 a large body of pay ere. and lat they
 have a good foundation for their en-
 thusiasm over the find. lt Is the opin ion of these whom we believe capable of judging. that the ore dump new there. will give returns as high, fl not higher. than he lowest reported from the first samples taken, which are said to have been l5 per cent cop per. sl0 in gold and some silver. which Is going some. The News has been unable to get any report as to the highest returns from he best ores taken out. but they must have rln high in the three precious met als-gold. silver and copper.
 To date they have not made a grea. deal of progress because of the so-t character of the formation. in order to hold which they had to return and ] Simber. The reported cave in he cut Superintendent Cain requested the News to deny over h.s signature. explaining that the work of timbering was done to proven any such acci- 1 dent
 The superintendent reports that % feet had been cut and that they sJill had a fuH breast of ore
 So far as can be judged by hose In charge. the ledge runs nearly east and west. which. as reference 10 the map viii show. if cut in the March claim. would carry it into. the ground of the Jerome Verde Copper company on the cast, and into he ground or the Maine claim On the west The Maine claim is the property of the Hull Copper company. Those inter ested say tha they will shortly start drifts along the ledge in both direc- tions
 The shipping of ore to tho Humboldt smelte- from the United Verde mine to be used as a Tux in reducing ores there. has been s-arted. A chute hes been built at the main shaft of the [. V. mine into which the ore will be hoisted from the mine and run into the cars. Arrangemets have been made fer unloading the cars a. se- rome Junction into a chute from which It will be run into the wide gauge cars | and transported Co the shelter. From l 100 to 150 tons will be shipped daily In .he shipment of this ore to the | Humboldt smelter. the United Verde | Copper company is doing Iaore toward l developing the mineral resources of | Yavapai county than it Is possible to | oyerestimate It means tha, all claim | owners who have ores of fair value 'n l sight can take them to the smelter ! and get returns that will enable him | 70 develop his property. Without the ores from the United Verde mine as a flux this would be impossible in | a big majority Cf cases as the ores could not be reduced without the [. V 1 ore. The present contract with he company runs for one year.
