gang of thieves which looted the plant
of the Arizona Brewing company of
all copper or brass articles. Fixtures,
copper connections, brass knuckles and
dollars were stolen from the brewery,
which has been closed since Arizona
went dry. Mining engineers in gov

MINERS CRATE GAME WITH
SINE LITER IN FIRST INNING
BRING BACK BACON, I 7TO3

Hester's Miners had the second game
Of the series packed. Grated and ready
to take home at the end of the first
inning at Hayden Wednesday after
noon. Just for fun they let the Smet-
terites look at the pill once or twice
after that, before they departed with
the bacon. Score: Mines, Z; Smelter,
8. The contest was without an error
and was featured by fast playing by
both sides.
With two men down and the bases
full, Franz Hosp selected one Of
Hughes hot ones and deliberately raised
it over the left field fence rabbit"
Clarity sent a three Dagger in the
same direction and came on in on a
wild pitch, giving the Miners a lead
of five for starter.
The Smelter came back in the Sec
ond with two runs, when MacMurdo
walked and Pierce smashed one
over the left field fence. From that
time on to the last of the eighth it
was a battle between pitchers. Then

is going down at the rate of one foot
a day.
Tents have been ordered to house
more miners, and as soon as they arrive
a second shift will be put to work.
: It is probable that within a short
time the Three Medals company will
order machinery. There is plenty of
money in the treasury for the purchase
Of equipment and the directors are
waiting only until a hoist, compressor
and jack hammers can be advantage
ously employed before putting in their
order.
1t is quite possible that the shaft
will enter rich ore at any time. The
Three Medals cannot be proved a big
mine, however, until that crosscut is
driven from water level. The possi-
bilities of that crosscut are infinite.
Only few feet up the hill from the
present workings is an old shaft down
IS feet, the bottom of which is in black
sulphide running above SIS ton in
gold. No attempt has ever been made
to ascertain the extent OF this sulphide,
but if it goes to depth it will be tapped
by the crosscut.
A New Discovery
Secretary Weidman of the Three
Medals company has obtained an option
on group Of claims three miles north
Of that property, located by John Perez.
Men are soon to be put to work re-
moving the overburden from a part of
the Perez group and Mr.. Weidman ex-

the discovery, which was made only a
few days ago.
Perez has located six claims, crossed
by several ledges and a big iron dixie.

Jerome has long been famous for her
copper; she may wake up any morning
to find herself famous for her gold.
Another Oatman may spring up six
miles west of the camp, in the upper
end Of the Jerome mineral belt.
1t is there that the Three Medals
Mining company's property is located.
1t is there that a big gold strike may
be made any day. No matter whether
any big strike is ever made, the exist
ence of much rich gold ore is already
proved.
Any mining man will say that where
there is an area seven miles long by
crossed by iron dikes and quartz lodges,
and where practically every piece of
rock picked up from the surface carries
gold values, there must be mine. The
chances are that there are several of
them.
Few who have examined the gold
end" of the gold belt. doubt that some
day it will be one of the richest gold
mining districts in the world. 1t is all
matter of prospecting in the right
place, and the Three Medals people are
confident that they are in the right
place. They--and hundreds of others
who have examined these claims-be-
Ieve that a few hundred feet more of
exploration will demonstrate the exist
ence of big body of low grade gold
silver ore, and there are excellent pros
poets that a large deposit of high grade
will be opened.
Twelve years ago there was a small
stampede to this district. Pockets of
immensely rich gold ore were found
right on the surface. One pocket ran
$4,000 to the ton.
These pockets were: white quartz
and the values did not go down. The
excitement died out. Subsequent
searchers continued to look for gold in
the white quartz.
It is now almost certain that the
white quartz was blown up into the
air by volcanic action and dropped in
divers places. The real gold values
are not in the white quartz, but in blue
quartzite and other formations.
1t was with the idea of going down
to depth and searching for big low
grade gold deposit in a systematic
manner that the Three Medals Mining

Goodwin, an engineer employed by the
United Verde Copper company was
made president, and he has directed all
operations as superintendent; r. L.

sayed from $40 to 500 in gold and 10
per cent. copper. Free gold is sprinkled
through another sample that has not
been assayed, but which must run up
in the hundreds of dollars. This is one
of the mosr beautiful pieces of rock
ever found in the Jerome district.
+ Beside this ledge is three-foot ledge
carrying $40 gold and 10 ounces silver
to the ton. Another six-foot ledge car
ries seventeen ounces Of silver and
trace Of gold.
This is merely prospect, Of course,
for not foot of work has been done
on the property. The surface indica-
tions certainly are encouraging, how
ever, and Jerome will follow the de-
velopmcnt of the Jerome Consolidated
with almost as much interest as it is
following the development Of the
Three Medals.
Copper World
At Russell, siding about a mile
east Of the Three Medals, is the Copper
World group of six c1alms, held by
Goodwin, Stanton. and Weidman Of the
Three Medals company.
In spite Of the name, little copper is
found on the Copper World claims.
They are valuable for their gold and
silica.
Cutting through the claims for dis
tance of mile is ledge that is from
80 to SO per cent silica. It's width is
about 35 feet. Some time ago a shaft
was put down 100 feet in the silica
and crosscuts were run to the walls.
The silica holds it's width and quality
at that depth.
On the lower side is a rIfty-foot iron
dixie. Samples taken from the surface
assay 81 and SIS in gold. A shaft was
put down As feet, but at that depth the
dixie dips out. Samples from the bot
tom assay about the same as the sur
face rock.

EMBRYONIC OAT MAN IN WEST
END Of JEROME DISTRICT

S~S~Ns
vice. president; A. E. Weidman, busi-
ness man of Jerome, is secretary treas
urer; J. J. Stanton, master mechanic of
the United Verde, is heavily interested
and is chairman Of the board Of direc-
tors. "+-.
From the first the Three Medals
company has been conducted along
conservative lines. IT. is capitalized
for only $375,OOO. divided into 1900, 900
25-cent shares.
Four weeks ago the stock was placed
on the market at Is cents a share.
When 10000 shares had been grabbed,
all right in Jerome, the stock was
taken off the market. Now private
rs to SO cents a share.
There axe twelve claims in the TAree
Medals group, but practically the en-
tire gold belt is covered with locations.
A few of the owners are doing some
development work, but many others are
waiting to see what the Three Medals
people develop, hoping that they will
make a strike and start a great gold
boom.
The United Verde and Pacific rail-
road crosses the Three Medals group.
Those claims lying south of the road
cover large flat which would make
an excellent townsite. A thin layer OF
soil lies over gravel beds of unknown
depth. This gravel runs $12 in gold
to- the ton. Were water available, for
tunes could be washed from the gravel
by hydraulic operations.
A shaft has been started on the east
side of long "hogback" about a quar-
ter of mile north Of the railroad
track. Along the top of this hogback
runs lime and iron contact. On the
east side lies the lime, on the west
the iron. Everywhere there are out
groupings Of quartz, and practically
every bit of surface rock carries gold.
The shaft is now down 1876 feet and is
in three feet of oxidized iron. The re-
mainder of the shaft bottom is in blue
quartzite. This quartzite shows more
or less all the way from the surface.
Every bit Of rock taken from the
shaft or from the twenty-foot crosscuts
run from the 112-foot level, carries
gold.
A few feet west Of the shaft, at 113
feet, a stringer of red oxide and tale
was cut. In the roof Of the crosscut
the stringer is tale and is only an inch
or so wide. In the bottom it is red
oxide and is over a foot wide.
And this oxide runs s514 to the ton
in gold! There is every reason to be-
lieve that it is merely the top Of large
body.
This oxide, also the blue quartzite,
are the same as were taken from the
famous GLORY Hole of the United
Verde, right by the old smelter at
Jerome. Ore taken from the surface
there ran as high as $500 a ton in
gold. Several tons Of ore running
above $40 are still mined there daily.
The plan Of development is to sink
to water level as rapidly as possible,
then crosscut to the west to cut the
rich ore and to get under the contact
that shows on the ridge of the hogback.
It is expected that the permanent water
level will be encountered at about 300
feet.
A tunnel taps the shaft at rs feet.
The rock is lifted to this level by means
Of a whim and trammed out to the
dump.
Only one shift of miners is now en-
ployed. In spite of the fact that the
is extremely hard. the shaft

RAY TAKES OPENER, 10;
ONE GREAT LITTLE CAME

Sunday, April 80, 1916. Just put
that down in your little old book as a
red letter day in Ray. One run in the
fourth inning, resulting from a walk,
sacrifice, and slashing single, was
enough to defeat the Hayden Millers,
and the Ray Miners got off on the
right foot in the opening game of the
season.
Never before, not barring the cham
pionship games of last year, has the
enthusiasm and interest been as great
as that manifested in the opening
game of the TriCopper League season
of 1916.
Nine hundred frenzied Hayden and
Ray fans packed the new stands and
joined in the applause as the pennant
won by the Ray Miners last year was
unfurled and Umpire Kelly yelled
"Play ball"

fast work by disposing of De Maggie,

Notes of the Game
The Hayden fans sure sent some
delegation to the game. Three big
coaches and numerous automobiles
brought the crowd.
Too much praise cannot be given to
to the Hayden band. They have fine
organization, but say, how about the
Ray Con. band? They have only been
organized six months, but they make
some music and are due to make the
older organization toot some to beat
them in the near future.
1t looked like a real ball park Sun
day. New stands all covered. New
band stands. New dugouts for the
players and overflow corral in right
field.
When it looked like rain in the first
inning, Manager Cook began figuring
out the number of rain checks it would
take to supply the crowd. Flame
Delhi looked up with a *'Please don't
let it rain I'm right today" expression
on his countenance, and the clouds dis
persed.
Frank Metz looks good in the clean
up position, place he has held for
several years on the Indianapolis club
Of the American association.
The fans presented Hester with big
floral horseshoe of carnations just be-
fore the game and Herb was so over
