geological precedent. Whenever they shatter one of these old-time idols, one of two things happens-either a new mining camp springs into being around it's feet of clay, or a one-mine camp takes on new life and becomes a camp of many mines. The camp of Jerome will serve to point moral and illustrate the eternal verity of the foregoing, although any number of other camps-Cripple Creek, Tonopah, Goldfeld, Butte-would serve the pur- pose equally as well.
 In the mining business the differ ence between contraction and expan- sion is measured by depth and devel- opment. In the degree that depth and development are retarded or quickened the mining business of a community is contracted or expanded. At Jerome the mining business is expanding, and as a result additional holes are being punched in the copper belt of which it is the buckle, that the expansion may be given the vent warranted by re- gently discovered mineral indications of promise.
 This belt is called the "Circle of Bill lions," and it is all that the name would imply; for it girdles not only

King, comprises 308 acres of patented mineral ground located in the imme- diate vicinity of the productive area of the district, and is held under deed, by direct purchase, and without in- cumbrance. It adjoins and is almost surrounded by holdings of the United Verde Copper company, and the estate of the Hull Copper and Cleopatra companies, which recently passed to the control of the W. A. Clark inter- ests. Adjoining on the west are hold ings of the United Verde Extension company and the estate of the Boston & Jerome Copper company, while to the east the claims of the Verde Apex company saw-tooth into it's sideline.
 It is the purpose of the Verde Gen. tral Mines, Inc, to develop it's ground at depth with a view to opening a body of commercially valuable copper ore.
 W. F. Staunton, president and di- rector of the Verde Central Mines, Inc, will be in direct charge of mining operations. He was for 15 years man ager of the Congress mine, and under his supervision that property was de- veloped into one of Arizona's richest precious metal producers.

for the manufacture of wire, while it's gold content covers all mining and treatment costs.
 Plans are now being drawn for the development of that portion of the Michigan-Verde estate adjacent to the rich ore exposed in the west stopes of the United Verde mine. These plans are as yet in the formative stage, but, so far as outlines, provide for the sinking of three-compartment, deep working shaft near the Michigan Verde United Verde line.
 Another property within the con- fines of the circle for which extensive development work is being planned is that owned by the Verde Central Mines, Inc, and, weather permitting, they will be placed in force and ef- feet on New Years day, 1917. It will require the 30 odd days time between now and then to shape up the affairs of this recent addition to the list of preferred prospects of the famous Verde copper belt, and so it has been decided to start off the New Year by entering upon the preliminary work incidental to exploration of the acre age at depth.

DEVELOPMENT IN
 JEROME FIELD IS : STEADILY EXPANDING
By WILLIAM P. DE WOLF

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Dec. 6.-Devel- opment of mining properties in the Verde copper district continues to ex- pand under the hand of capital and to increase in importance by reason ot the many favorable mineral showings. To be sure, these showings are either at surface or at a comparatively nomi- nal depth; but they are, for the most part equal to the showing on the United Verde and the United Verde Extension properties at a similar stage of development, and may, there fore, be accepted as indicative of un- deriving bodies of copper ore.
 There is no geological reason why any one of number of properties in the vicinity of the United Verde mine should not carry a lense of ore the
