 Important Enterprise

Plans for the construction of model, town on the hogback, partly on United Verde Extension ground anu partiy on Dundee Arizona property, are well under way.
 X toWnsite company is to he organ, ized Jointly Dy Extension and Dundee Arizona officers. It is understood that the details are being worked olt by President Fred S. Stephen anu D re4tor Alexander Mackay, of the Dundee tArI1ona, who were in Jerolie last Sun6ay and Monday
 The new town is to be right at the eastern edge of Jerome It siil cover part oe. the Extension. company's $ Fio- repcia claim and most of the Maine Fraction, which is held by the same company. It will also cover the Grecn-ap the westernmost of the Dundee Arizona's two claims.
 The Clar.dale road curves on the Maine Fraction, there leaving the crest of the heeback to go down into Deception gaieh Il is understood tat the United Verde Extension hos pital and literary building win be near | the, curve perhaps on the high ground 1 just to the west.
 No surface rights are to be sold by, the townsite company but lcng- term leases will be given. A rusi- her of residences and business blocks ! will be constructed by tie. com .any for rental purposes The plan is to horse most of the, United Verde Ex- cnsior miners in the new town anf rerhaps to maintain the head offices Of the Extension there It will be. necessary. Of course, to have another town wherever the Extension smelte.- Ia built Despite jenials. the gen. teral impression Is that the smelter will be soriewterA south of Clarkdale. where several survey parties. have been working of late F
 Surveyors were this week on the new townsite, setting stakes. The location is more favorable for a town th3n the ground dn witch Jerome is built It is more nearly level and much less excaIatins will be neces- sary for buildings and streets.
 Notning has been learned regarding the. probable source of tbe new towns water supply but the fact that the Extension company has within the last few months secured potion on water rights in several parts of the district is reasrded as significant. News that the Extension and Dun dee -Arizona are together on town site proposition is not surprising. II las been known for months that the two comDanies were very dose to- gether. Together they acquired con trol of George ". Hulls old tunpe cornpanv and jointly they are tc drive tho proposed funnel. right UT under Dundee ground. Assessment wo~k in the tunnel. driven a short p,listance years ago is now being done hy four men who are directly nnieI 'he orders of the Dundee suDerlnten dent Surveyors are going over tht five claims of the tunnel company north, of the hogback down towsri | Cisrkdsle also over the Extension and Dundee ground. to determine jpst how far the tunnel must be drive, f ret into Dundee territory and what vertical deptji will hc attained.
 The purchase of the tunnel rom rshy was conslmmated only after i' had been proven that some of th' Dundee ore already opened by shal- low deyelnJ ment work came u- from heiaw and rot from an. overflow Th' copper carboDa,es on the surface o the Dundee claims may be an over flow but the sulph6es and glanc' opened below certainly were forced ul from greater depths.
