P|TTSBURC JEROME
 DEVELOPING FAST

JEROME, Aug. 19.-Developments at the Pittsburg Jerome are assuming interesting proportions, according to authentic reports coming from the management of the property. The two-inch vein of high grade encount- cred in the shaft several weeks ago has widened to approximately twelve inches and is still in the eight foot ledge of copper glance. The ledge of glance was passed through in the shaft nearer the surface, but the high grdae did not reach the shaft. Sinking the winze through the vein is in progress
 and is relatively slow, as the formation proves formidable for rapid sinking.
 The full details of the strike have probably never been fully recounted 70 the public, but fro mreports given out at intervals, and the very evident satisfaction of the management over the turn affairs have taken, there is little doubt that Pittsburg Jerome has arrived, and with development of the ore appearing for the first time to tn vest of the shaft at depth of 50C feet and dipping downward. more in- terestins accounts rnay be hoped for

The latter returned here q few days ago from the east, where the negotia- tions for the transfer were consum- mated and plans for future develop ment of the pronerty were made. Un- der the new regime. the main work ing shaft Is immediately to be un- watered and development of the ore
 bodies taken up. In former years the Tiger Gold produced large tonnage of high grade gold ore. As the shaft was deepened values fell off somewhat and base minerals made their appear ance. The milling appliances then In use proved inadequate to handle the base ore and the mine was closed down. Modern methods of mining and milling make possible the profitable reclamation of the mineral contents of the refractory ore A considerable l tonnage of the latter is exposed on the various levels in the mine.

 Mining men of the Jerome field arc manifesting more than ordinary in- | terest in the future of the Jerome | Victor Extension property. formerly owned by the Haynes Copper com pany.

IMPORTANT TESTS
 MADE BYLOCAL CO.

At the Phoenlx Plating Works, 213 East Adams street, there is being made a series of tests for the extrac ton of values from copper ores by the teaching process. The method of extraction used is practically the same as that being installed at Ajo The ore that Is being tested comes from group of claims on Cave Creek about twenty-five miles north of Phoenix.
 The second test was completed yes terday and was exceptionally gratify- ing. The first test made was on one pound of ore and was for the purpose of determining some chemical points. No exact data was kept but it was proved that the ore was amenable to treatment by the teaching process.
 The solvent used was sulphuric acid and precipitation or final recov cry of the values from the solution was by electrolysis. One half ounce of copper was recovered from q pound of ore. The result was so sat ! isfactory that a larger test on twenty pounds of ore vase made.
 The following is taken from the records of the test and gives some idea of the thoroughness with which 1 the tests were made: Test No. ?:
 20 pounds. 320 ounces of ore. groun1 | to thirty mesh
