At the United Verde Extension, i'm provements and betterments are con stantly under way and meantime min ing continues with three full shifts. says the Jerome Copper Belt. A skip will be installed shortly in the yer tical working shaft which is a new departure in hoisting methods in this district and will facilitate the work in no small degree A new winZe is to be started from the S00fOot level and driven down on the ore body. while developments at other places in the mine are going forward to prove up the extent of the ore bodies. Sup erintendent Warden. who is also in charge of the mining department Of the Clara Consolidated at Swansea and divides his time between the two properties. is at present here and says shipments of ore to the Swansea smelter will begin within about two weeks These shipments. it is es- timated. will run about five per cent copper and Ss per ton gold. About twenty-five men are at present em- ployed. which force will shortly be increased by additional miners.
 During the past week the Hull Cop per company drove it's long tunnel into a changing formation. apparently vein matter, composed largely of quartz and spar with scattering punches of gold copper sulphide ore, carrying fair gold values. The trend of the formation is in line with the desired course of the tunnel and is being made with one shift and much confidence is felt in the work ulti mately opening up good bodies of ore.
 General Manager T. F.. Campbell was over from Prescott this week and stated that important developments are pending in the east among the stockholders of the Haynes Copper company. which will greatly affect the future of this promising property, and which it is believed will be of fav- orable consideration in extensive ex- ploration of the property.
 The Jerome Durango Gold Mining company held an enthusiastic meeting at their office in Jerome. Thursday evening,.and about sixty stockholders were p1ss rt. The object of the meet ing was@sS raise money to purchase machinery for the mine. Ii was agreed to purchase and install a 5- stamp mill, and the stockholders sub scribed for 25.000 shares of the treas ury stock and gave their solemn promise to subscribe for as much more. This will assure the establish ment of small mill. and with it the property will be put on a self sustain ing basis.
 This property has a wonderful showing at present and there is now over GOO tons of high grade ore on the dump and thousands of tons in sight in all their workings IL is claimed this ore will assay $l40.00 gold and sl1.00 silver to the ton. which would yield handsome profit and soon put the company in a position to pay div idends if sufficient funds could be raised to install a ten or twenty stamp mlll.
 Since the last sale of stock. nearly two years ago. when S6000 was real iZed. every cent has gone into the property for development together with several thousand dollars that has been taken out through the oper- atiOn of an arrastra-a crude and an cient method of extracting ore. Close
