JEROME DISTRICT TEENS WITH
 ACTIVITY
MINING INVESTORS ARE ATTRACTED TO FIELD AND PROPERTIES ARE BEING DEVELOPED.
(From the Jerome News)

I-A and they expect to be shipping 2HD tons a day when it is put into opera ton. The shipments at present run from 90 to 100 tons per day. as the present mode of carrying the ore on burro back to the siding will not per init of the handling of larger out put. Since the installation of the big electrical hoist two carloads are be ing shipped to the Douglas smelters, and when the value of their high grade ore is taken into account this means a valuable shipment.
 A body of cuprite, chased as the richest copper ore, was found after cutting through 50 feet of quartz. during the past ten days. This strike is of keen interest to mining men, as the rock averages SS per cent copper. The l.4OO-foot level has scarcely been worked, the shipping and develop ment confined to the 1000 and l,2O0- foot levels.
 In estimating the probable value of shipments to date, since active opera tions commenced few months ago, an almost fabulous sum is represent ed, and from the standpoint of pro duction the Little Daisy has only re- centlv started its record as a mem Der of the producing class of mines.
 Examines the Green Flower.
 Frederick Stephen arrived in Je- rome Friday evening to examine his interests in the Green Flower prop crty, located on the Hog Back range. Mir. Stephen expressed himself while here as well pleased with the outlook, and thinks there is a great prospect for mine. which will probably be proved by depth and the company is well prepared to do so. He was much pleased with the work done on the ground to date; they are to go down 100 feet on the present contract, and after that continue permanent and steady development work.
 Conditions in Jerome, according to Mir. Stephen are very promising, and lie thinks the future will prove an even greater mining district than we now enjoy here. MT. Stephen, since his sojourn in this part of the country, has become so attached to 1t that .ie contemplates making his future home in Phoenix where his mine office is located. He left Saturday for New York to leave soon for Scotland, and intends returning early in the Spring.
 Since MT. Stephens departure, d carbonate and glance pay ore has been struck in the shaft
 Plan Development.
 It is reported that the Jerome Verde, lying adjacent to the United Verde and the United Verde Exten- sion will start doing development work soon. The eight, twelve, and fourteen hundred-foot levels have been worked to some extent on this property, and good commercial grade of copper ore in a 20-foot ledge was encountered. The ore conditions on the 1,4O0-foot level have not been shown, but the general belief of those acquainted with the formations of this ground is that the richest vein formations lie deeper and that de velopment should be directed toward the zones Of redeposit from the leach ed ores near the surface.
 Calumet & Jerome.
 The tunnel at the Calumet & Je- rome is in LIS feet and taps the out crop at 500 feet. Several veins of low grade values have been crosscut in fine tunnel; the last 5 feet being IF iron sulphide and showing up more value right along; the ore carrying gold, silver and copper. As outlined, another tunnel will be run to tap the outcropping at HOO feet
 Haynes May Start Up.
 There is a strong rumor ahoat that operations on the Haynes Copper Company's property would start in the Spring. Considerable work was done on this property which, in years past, has been considered promising prospect, ranking with the Copper Chief and the United Verde Exten- sion in their development stage. The company's affairs have for some time been in the hands of receiver, but q readjustment is evidently being ef fected to permit the resumption O.: work on the property.
 Add Drilling Machine.
 At the Pittsburg- Jerome the ma chinery which was idle for repairs last week is again in operation and running smoothly. They have drift ed west about forty feet from the shaft and are still in carbonate ore mixed with copper glance. The com pany mas purchased new Sullivan
