north of the Daisy. J. B. Leeper, original organizer of the A. & A. fathered the V. C. D. Some of the leading business and mining men of the state are interested with him. Walter Miller, manager of the big gest mercantile house in Jerome, is president: E. w. Carroll is secretary and s. F. Denison treasurer. This company expects to begin sinking a shaft shortly.
 The claims on the fault just be- yond the V. c. D. have been taken over by another new company, the Jerome Copperfields, Inc. It is un- derstood that two or three other com panies are to develop property still farther out on the fault.
 Though the Jerome Superior Cop per company does not own any claims on the fault, it's property is all within what was once the Verde districts sheer zone. The claims were located last spring by employees of the United Verde, who foresaw the trend toward the northward. About 80 claims are included in the group They lie north of the U. V. Extension and Jerome Verde, north and east of the United Verde, on both sides of the A. & A. and Jerome Daisy.
 Recently the Jerome Superior was taken over by a California syndicate represented by George Mitchell once superintendent of the U. V. shelter and later with the Greene-Cananea George D. Case, former superinten- dent of the Boston & Montana and 1 Tennessee Copper, was engaged to di- rect operations. Surveyors were placed on the ground and it was dis lowered that a fraction of a claim near |' L. V. crushing plant. commonly supposed to belong 10 tic Jnitec Verue, Wa 0ren ground. This was immediately added to the Jerome Su- perior holdings. Now the syndicate has a com biued churn drill, with a capacity of 2000 feet, on the way from Los Angeles. It is understood that the first hole will be put down on that fractional claim. With the drill, the 1900 acres belonging to the Jerome Superior will be thoroughly prospect ed. Camp buildings have already been erected and plans are being made to lay out townsite.
 S. T. Bentley is planning to dia- mond drill a group of claims at First View, on the U. V. x F. railroad west of the Jerome Daisy. This is not crossed by the north fault but by an other which cuts across United Verde ground.
 1 Several of the new companies in the north fault country are discussing the installation of joint power plant at First View. The plan is to use | Diesel engine for the development of electric power which will be trans mitted over a radius of several miles.

"SNEER ZONE OF VERDE DISTRICT
 NJ MORE
General Review of Present Activity Along North Fault. Property in De- rnand Where Once No One Thought Ore Existed.

Every mining district is supposed to have it's sheer zone"-a section in which every one, or neraly every one, agrees that there is no chance for ore.
 Until recently the Verde district had it's sheer zone It was that vast area lying in the north, and be- tween JG:or and the Verde river a bleak, forbidding land with little vegetation except a few stunted pines, a little oak brush and cacti. Most of the area was unlocated; the few who did hold claims there were re- garded as harmless but queer.
 The Verde north fault runs right through that zone-sneer zone no longer. It is on, or beside, the fault that the United Verde Extension's ore body was discovered. From the U. " Extension it runs on through Senator Clarks United Verde, curves westward, trends again to the north ward, passes through the Arkansas & AIizona, Jerome Daisy, Verde Cop per Development. and Jerome Cop perfields properties.
 The fault is really a contact be- tween the lime on the east, the malpai and porphyry on the west There are few better defined con tacts anywhere. The veriest tyro in geology could follow it from one end of the district to the other merely by walking along that meeting ground of the white and dark formations.
 Around Jerome one must dig down through many layers of sand stone and limestone to reach the experiencing schist And it is said that never has an ore body beer uncovered in this district that did not have an iron capping above it. Farther north, beyond the A. & A. a great deal of erosion has take1 place in ages past and a wide belt of iron-stained quartz is found right along the contact. The quartz 1T many places is more than half iron; it all carries traces of copper, sil yer and gold. At several points, as on the Jerome Daisy, shallow shafts have passed through the quartz and penetrated schist or quartz-schist, all heavily impregnated with iron and bearing evidences of copper having leached through.
 The first company to invade the sheer zone was the Arkansas & Ari- zona. It was organized in 1906 with a group of claims on the fault just north of the United Verde. J. E. Leeper, the organizer, raised $S00,-
