copper. A shaft sunk to depth of fifty feet, near the portal of tunnel No. l, opened some ten percent cop per ore.
 When a plan of development is de- cided upon, work can be started in a few days. In all probability tunnel No. will be continued. There are several good camp buildings and much equipment that remains in fair shape. Several springs furnish enough water for development and for any kind of a plant that the U. V. Junior is likely to require.
 give out nothing definite regarding development plans prior to the exam ination by Engineer Bethune, but they feel sure that the Mahurin group will be churn drilled. They are sure, in fact, that they are already making preliminary arrangements to secure a drill.
 The discovery of the Mahurin prop erty was the merest accident. Ed Mahurin was a miner but he found that cattle raising and farming paid him better than mining and for sev- eral years he settled down to pastoral pursuits on the Verde. A glistening boulder, weighing 42 pounds, carrying fl percent copper and containing $500 worth of gold, sent him back to mining.
 It was while he was chasing wild bull down draw near Copper Canyon that he found the boulder. He and his friends subsequently spent months searching for its source but without success. Mahurin has become con vinced in his own mind that it was blown up from the depths below. Near the spot where the boulder was lying in the sand is a great blowout. The principal showing there is a two-foot vein of ore that is twelve percent cop per.
 This is merely one of many promis ing showings on porphyry dike that is 5000 feet wide and runs north and south a distance of 5000 feet. Above are iron and malpai dikes-nothing from which the glistening boulder might have come. On the lowerside is the Verde limestone belt.
 At any point on the dike rock carry ing gold and copper can be picked up and it is widely believed that big deposit of low-grade ore lies below. Mahurin believes that there may be high-grade there as well and cites the boulder in support of his contention.

VERDE CON BOWS ID EXPECTANT
 PUBLIC
Most Recent Flotation in Big
 Verde District Is Expected to Make One of the Best Showings in a Proven Field.

JEROME, Ariz., Sept. 16.-Not since the days of the Green Monster fiota- uon has any mining company in the Verde di jet met with such instan- taneOUs sl eess, or aroused such widespread lterest, as has the Unit ed Verde Consolidated.
 The United Verde Consolidated has been organized by a syndicate of Je- rome and Clarkdale citizens for the purpose of developing the Ed Mahurin group of eleven claims on Copper can yon, four miles from Camp Verde and the United Verde Junior, a mile and a half south of Jerome. Already the organization is a success. Prelimina- " financial arrangements have been completed and within a short time the stock will be listed on the New York curb. Engineer George A. Bethune, of San Francisco, is making an ex- animation of both properties and map ping out a plan of development, which should be under way within sixty days at the latest.
 The success of the United Verde Consolidated may be due to the con fidence the public has in the men be- hind the new company, or it may be just because the psychological mom- ent had come for the Notation of an other Verde district proposition. The organizers themselves modestly at tribute it to the merits of the proper ties, also to the fact that the company holds high-grade proposition as well as group of claims that bear all the earmarks of being a big low-grade copper-gold deposit similar to those found at Ray. Usually company has a low-grade or high-grade proposition to offer investors-the United Verde Consolidated has both.
 Officers of the U. V. Consolidated are to be elected in a few days. The presidency probably will be offered to J. Evans Miller, of Clarkdale, neph- CIV of Senator w. A. Clark. owner of the great United Verde. Though Mil Ter is heavily interested in the United Verde Consolidated, it is doubtful if he will consent to become the head of

the company. A strong group of stockholders favor Robert Wingfleld, president of the Camp Verde State Bank, for president of the U. V. Con.
 Other members of the pre-organiza- tion committee are S s. Ballard, own CT of the United Verde Junior, Jerome Ed Mahurin, principal owner of the Mahurin group, Cottonwood; Edwin c. Farrell, of the Clarkdale Improve ment Company; R. G. Stevenson, su- perintendent of the Jerome schools; Dan Robinson, postmaster of Clark dale; Dr. Paul Mcintosh and F. S. Balentine, Clarkdale.
 The members of this committee have taken 100000 shares of pre-or- ganization stock at ten cents. Anoth- CT block of 100000 shares is offered to the public at the same figure and most of it has been taken right in the Verde district Treasury stock will be offered about the time arrange ments for listing in New York are consummated. All reorganization stock is subject to a pooling arrange ment
 It has been agreed that the com pany shall be capitalized for S1,500,- 900, with 100000 shares.
 Six patented fractional claims and two unpatented fractions are included in the United Verde Junior group. The total area is 120 acres. It is surround ed by the Green Monster, Verde Com bination and other well known prop critics.
 Few groups in the Verde district have a better surface showing. An ledge, over 100 feet wide, cuts squarely across the claims from east to west. Numerous feeder veins run into it.
 The first work done on the U. V. Junior was the driving of a tunnel which cut the main ledge at a depth of 300 feet It opened ore carrying values as high as S75 ton, and running from a trace to two per cent copper. Before it reached its ob- pective point it cut a number of small veins, all in the oxide zone. Samples assayed from two to twelve percent copper, with small gold and silver values.
 There are three tunnels altogether on the U. V. Junior No. was start ed 150 lower down on the mountain than No. 1 and 800 feet farther east. It was driven only fifty feet When work was suspended the face was in a highly mineralized feeder vein of copper sulphides, bornite and chalco- pyrites.
 No. was started 500 feet below No. l, at the lowest convenient point On the property. It was in $50 feet when work was discontinued but was still some 1900 feet from the ledge. Like the other tunnels, it cut numer- ous feeders. One, heavy with iron pyrites, ran from five to ten percent

New Property on Curb.

The latest Verde property to be listed on the New York Curb is the Calumet and Jerome. This property consists of six claims in the rich Verde copper district On account of its To- cation, between the United Verde and United Verde Extension. the Calumet and Jerome is looked upon favorably in this section, as well as among east ern investors. The ore formation on the surface of the property is held to be the same geological condition as exists al the 500 foot level of the United Verde Extension property.
 The north and south vaults of the Verde district cut directly across the entire length of one of the claims. The company has been financed and plans to sink a three-compartment shaft to depth Of 1000 feet within a short time.
 Extensive development is being planned for the old Silver Belt mines, near Humboldt. which were revived recently. Electrical machinery will be introduced on the property. Plans call for a new shaft Of 1000 feet in depth to be sunk at a point on the group near the Arizona. now being operated by Anderson and Birch. The Silver Belt was operated as long ago as in the eos, and has attained mark ed attention for its large bodies of high grade silver-lead ore.

Little Jessie to Resume.

The Little Jessie. one of the most famous gold mines in the county, sit uated in the Chaparal district. is ready 70 resume operations. Several months ago work of unwatering the old levels to the $50 was started. Ore conditions in the upper levels have been found satisfactory and further development was decided upon several days ago. The $50 foot shaft will be uuwatered. and cleaned up, in order that observa. tions may be made from that point. The Little Jessie is being revived by a syndicate of Ohio men who are de- termined that the mine shall he giv- en every chance to assume its former place among the gold properties of Yavapai.

 Verde Apex Meeting.
 A meeting of stockholders of the Verde Apex, the controlling interest of which was recently taken over by Prescott mining men, will be held in Phoenix September 2Sth. At this time plans will be made to start operations on the property on the largest scale in its history. Lying in the Jerome field, and intermingling with the Ven ture Hill pIoperty, the Verde Apex is looked upon as one of the most prom ising mines in the field and its new controllers plan to rush the work as soon as a definite plan of develop ment is decided upon.
 With the work of unwatering the shaft of the Arkansas and Arizona Completed, engineers who have exam ined the property are formulating plans with the officers of the company to again place the A. and A. Tn the pro ducing class. Operations will be start ed as soon as the machinery for the property arrives.
 Green Monster Active.
 The Green Monster plans to sink two 150 foot shafts on the Amazon and Missouri claims as soon as additional accommodations for a large force of men are completed. The points at which the shafts will be sunk have al ready been chosen from surface indi- cations. The George Tunnel on the Cliff claim has been cleaned out and in. Two cross-cuts are being cut on the Revenue tunnel, and indications are reported to be unusually favorable
 Arrangements have been completed whereby the ore from the Commer will again be treated at the Clarkdale shelter During the Hull in shipping for the last two months, a small force of men has been working at the com mercial, and several thousand tons of ore are now ready to be sent to tine Shelter Recent development, it is said, has resulted in determining the best and biggest ore bodies in the his tory of the Commercials operations
 South of the Commercial, work on the c. S. copper group is progressing favorably. The shaft has been sunk to depth of 175 feet The objective point is 200 feet, and when this is reached a plan of action will be decid ed upon by the owner of the group.

that the chief executive is perfectly
willing to regard that proverbially
unlucky day Of the week as a day for
his own luck, and to have the conven-
ton actually take vote on his name
on that day The original program was
to name the presidential nominee just
after midnight Friday, thus avoiding
the ill-omened sixth day of the week,
but shortening of the program might
make it necessary to make the nomi-
nation on Friday.
Chairman McCoombs, after his in
