OF DISCOVERY
 Of AR|zONKS RICHEST STRIKE

What is believed to be ,he greatest discovery of eoper ever made in the history of Arizona. occurred last We'd nesday at noon on the Little Daisy ground of the United Verde Extension Mining company. when a body of nine feet of ore, carrying red oxide of cop per glance was cut into in a crosscut at a dep-h of 500 feet, says the Jour nal-Miner.
 Up to the time of this measurement taking place. the extent of the strike could not be determined. as the min CTS were stin drilling into i,.
 A remarkable condition in mining was proven in this discovery. the ore body being practically solid mineral and not a pound of waste was taken out.
 The town of Jerome is excited over the discovery, and the stock of the company is anxiously sought for. with no sellers. On the contrary. the par value. and telegrams are pouring in from the chamber of commerce al Bis bee, the east and other points, asking for stock. This lively desire to get these interests is one of the note worthy evidences of the bona fide rat ings of the property and corroborates the big strike that has been given pub licity,
 Af.er the news reached Jerome. NIT. Fisher was congratulated by all of the business men. while miners by the score came forward to extend their good wishes.
 Mir Fisher arrived last night from his camp. bringing several pounds of the red oxide and copper glance ores. He will remain in the city for a few days. to transact urgent business.
 He not only confirms ,he report of the vast extent of the ore body cut into. but gives the additional infor- mat,on that the richness of the ore, toge- e-her with it's distinctive mineral ogical character. is unlike thar of its neighbor. the United Verde. and so ] far as demonstrated in development through the copper glance character in evidence. is probably in a class by itself This feature Os the yield is something of a revelation to the min ing peoplpe of that section. which serves to enhance the deep interest taken in the strike
 At ,his particular time a brief re- view of the development that has .~..,,-sve.7 -- .r.,.. f,,7f.- 4., ttr,- q, .--- valuable property. is given and will prove interesting to the miniEg peo- ple of this county and territory.
 After practically three years of dil- igent and earnest work. the main shaSt reached a depth of 500 feet on the Little Daisy ground. From tha- point further exploitation was direct ed through a drift running toward the city of Jerome in an easterly direction and a poin- about $50 feet was reach ed. when further progress was stop ped oD that level.
 Branching of with a crOsscut at that station a northeasterIy course was taken for a distance of 220 feet, where the big ore body was cu. Pre- ceeding- this big discovery, at point about 119 feet before the ore was reached the first favorable indication of the strike that followed was given through the avenue of water coming inso the crosscut in a heavy flow In about two days this was drained. when the work was resumed.
 In the progress of development. var
 ious formations were cut into, carry ing lime. spar. schist and black slate
 with occasionally some sulphide ap
 bearing. Immediately proceeding ths
