One of the Cliff group was called the Green Monster claim because of the green-stained rock upon the sur face This gave the company it's name. The same green stain can he the big estate.
 About half a million dollars has been spent for some 5000 feet of development work, in the way of shafts, winzes and drifts. The deep est shaft is down 5000 feet on the Cliff group. Much ore running around three per cent copper is found near the surface on the Brookshire group. Over all the groups are many out cropping of sulphide ore. Next to the Copper Chief claims some cop per carbonate ore, with gold values, is found on the surface.
 There is shaft on the Brookshre down 300 feet, all in sulphide from the grass roots. little drifting has 1 been done from this shaft Several
 other shallow shafts show sulphides I and carbonates
 l The famous north fault of the Jerome district cuts through Green Monster ground. At the fault there
 is a ledge of porphyry, schist and l iron, varying from fifty to 100 feet Samples running high in copper have 1 been picked up along this fault on Green Monster ground It is on this fault that the United Verde Exten- sion has opened it's great ore body. A. P. Thompson is now doing some preliminary geological work for the
 Green Monster company. It is prob
 able that James Wellington Finch,
 the eminent geologist and mining ex
 pert who is now at the Copper Chief. will be engaged to make thorough
 examination of the Green Monster
 and map out plan of development.
 The preliminary plan of develop
 ment. pending Mir. Finch's decision, is to start exploration shafts on teh Cliff. Green Monster and Brookshire
 claims, then to sink a working shaft
 at the most advantageous point. e The history of the Green Monster y is almost paralleled by that of the e Dundee-Arizona Mining company. Two canny Scotchmen named F. $. C Stephen and Alexander Mackay n owned two patented claims. the I Greenflower and Green-up. lying on c the south side of the "Hogback.' a long tongue of land pointing like 6 Il finger from Jerome out toward the : Verde valley. They were entirely : surrounded by the Jerome Verde and Q United Verde Extension. Moreover n the claims had a surface showing as H. encouraging as is to be seen in the J. entire district.
 So the Dundee Arizona Mining ." company was organized. It was cap 'e italized for s5OO,OOO. with 5O0,O00 ie shares. stephen and Mackay re- 0i ceived 275,OOO shares for the claims and the remainder were subscribed :" tor by a syndicate of Phoenix busi- ie ness men, who placed 100000 shares '' on the market at $1.
 They could have sold twice the
 number of shares at. that figure. 4
 week after the first sale was made
 Dundee Arizona was up to s2 in Jer
 ome About 10000 shares were placed
 right in. Jerome.
 One can't walk over the Dundee
 Arizona claims without kicking ul 00 copper ore A ledge of congomerate te oo. thirty to forty feet wide. cuts throug he the property from east to west a dis to tance of 700 feet This conglomerat 5o is all stained green. Samples take he right off the surface run anywher ed from six to twelve per cent coppe he This conglomerate could be steam On shoveled out right now and markete en at profit.
 wo A tunnel has been driven into tn he side of the hogback, on this con ,at glomerate ledge, distance of 2f nv feet The tunnel soon passes throug ha the conglomerate and enters the Jim
 
 ex- formatlon. All the hme runs we as up in copper-the walls of the tur
 nel are stained a vivid green. Thel ter are frequent Watercourses throue ,k- the lime, and samples broken frol ms these courses carry as much as thirt md per cent copper.
