shoveled out right now and marketed
at a profit.
A tunnel has been driven into the
side Of the hogback, on this con-
glomerate ledge, distance of 264
feet The tunnel soon passes through
the conglomerate and enters the lime
formation. All the lime runs well
up in copper-the walls Of the tun-
mel are stained a vivid green. There
are frequent watercourses through
the lime, and samples broken from
these courses carry as much as thirty
per cent copper.
At the 200-foot point in the tun-
mel shaft was driven 100 feet
straight down into ore. A raise was
started upward to connect with a
shaft which had been sunk 65 feet
from the surface.
When the raise was up seventy feet
and within five feet Of the shaft bot
tom, 1t Clipped into the edge Of a
blind ledge Of lime carbonate and
glance averaging at least 25 per cent
copper. This was only Alast Friday
No work is being done on this new
ledge, as Superintendent J. A. Hub
bard is waiting for instructions from
his principals. The extent Of the
ledge, of course, can only be guessed
at.
gasoline hoist has been ordered
and a site for it is being graded near
the collar of the shaft; lumber for
the gallows frame is on the ground
When the hoist is in place the shaft
will be sunk to a depth of at least
1000 feet. The plan is to run numer-.

ship indefinitely to Douglas would
be rank folly.
The Young ranch seems to be an
ideal smelter site. There is plenty
of level ground and plenty of water.
Moreover, it is right by the railroad
If smelter is built there, thous-
ands of splendid apple trees will
have to so, but many thousands of
dollars will be added to the monthly
payroll Of the Jerome district
Men and teams are now at work
on a hill about 200 yards east of the
Edith shaft, grading for a magnifi-
cent resident that James S. Douglas,
president and general manager of the
company is to build there. There is
not more beautiful site for resi-
dence in all Arizona.
Green Monster
After the U. V. Extension was a
proven mine and no longer pros
pect the Jerome boom set in. The
Green Monster Mining company was
the first to be organized and the
phenomenal showing of the Daisy
was no doubt responsible in large
measure for the unprecedented de-
mand for Green Monster shares. The
history of the Green Monster will in
after years be referred to as one of
the most interesting chapters in the
history of Arizona mining.
Arizona men control the Green
Monster. Neill 3. Bailey is presi-
dent; Thomas Taylor, e-president;
William S. Humbert, secretary and
managing director. These men, with
w. A. Drake and David Morgan,
comprise the board of directors; Le-
roy Anderson is general counsel
The company was organized with
100000 shares, having par value
of fifty cents. third of the
stock was issued to the owners of
the property acquired by the COM
pany, and for $4,000 in cash. Then
100000 shares were placed on the

Is it any wonder that the U. V. Ex-
tension claims the biggest body of
high grade copper ore in the world?
Two small compressors are now in
use, but a larger one has been or
dered and will be installed as soon
as the machinery can be delivered.
The new compressor will enable the
company to double it's output if it
chooses.
One thing TO be done as soon as
the new compressor is in operation
is to sink 200 feet farther into the
ore body. A winze will be started
1000 feet south of the shaft on the
1400.
No one who has the slightest
knowledge of the character of that
ore body on the 1900 and 1400-foot
levels entertains any doubt that
it continues not only to the 1900 but
hundreds and hundreds of feet farther
into the earth. But when the con-
tinuation of the body for another
200 feet has been absolutely demon
strated, another big jump in u. v,
Extension stock can be expected.
The U. v. Extension is now en-
pioying 130 men. This force will
be materially increased when the
new compressor is in place.
1t is reported on the best of au-
thority in Jerome and Clarkdale that
the U. v. Extension company has
purchased the L. L. Young ranch, a
mile north of Clarkdale, as a smelter
site. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the deal is at least pend
ing.
There is no member of the COM
pany who will deny that a smelter
is needed to treat the ore of the
U. v. Extension. Anyone with COM
mon sense knows that eventually the
,, company must have smelter Of its
own close at hand. It's production is
bound to increase and to continue to

! These consist of 81 unpatented and
80 patented claims, having an area
of some 1900 acres.
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 be
seen at numerous other points over
the big estate.
About half 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 Brookshire
down 800 feet, all in sulphide from
the grass roots. A little drifting has
been done from this shaft. Several
! other shallow shafts show sulphides
and carbonates,
The famous north fault of the
Jerome district cuts through Green
Monster ground. At the fault there
is a ledge of perphyry, schist and
iron, varying from fifty to 100 feet
Samples running high in copper have
been picked up along this fault on
Green Monster ground. 1t 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. 1t 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 a thorough
examination Of the Green Monster
| and map out plan Of development.
The Arizona copper camp., 1916-04-21

The preliminary plan of develop
ment, pending Mr.. F,inch's decision,
is to start exploration shafts on teh
Cliff, Green Monster and Brookshire
claims, then to sink working shaft
at the most advantageous point.
Dundee Arizona
The history of the Green Monster
is almost paralleled by that of the
Dundee-Arizona Mining company.
Two canny Scotchmen named F. s.
Stephen and Alexander Mackay
owned two patented claims, the
Greenflower and Green-up. lying on
the south side of the "Hogback," a
long tongue of land pointing like a
finger from Jerome out toward the
Verde valley. They were entirely
surrounded by the Jerome Verde and
United Verde Extension. Moreover
the claims had a surface showing as
encouraging as is to sbe seen in the
entire district.
So the Dundee Arizona Mining
company was organized. 1t was cap
italized for $5OO,OOO, with 100000
shares. Stephen and Mackay re-
ceived 275,0OO shares for the claims
and the remainder were subscribed
for by syndicate of Phoenix busi-
ness men, who placed 100000 shares
on the market at 81.
They could have sold twice the
number of shares at that figure. A
week after the first sale was made,
Dundee Arizona was up to 81 in Jer-
ome About 10000 shares were placed
right in Jerome.
One can't walk over the Dundee
Arizona claims without kicking up
copper ore. A ledge of conglomerate,
thirty to forty feet wide. cuts through
the property from east to west a dis
tance of 700 feet. This conglomerate
is all stained green. Samples taken
right off the surface run anywhere
| from six to twelve per cent copper.
This conglomerate could be steam

WORM-DRIVE TRUCK
 IS MOST DURABLE
Don Drennen Talks About Federal Trucks and How They
 Work

"The worm gear type of final drive if properly mounted is a far more dur. able and substantial drive than any other type used in commercial car con- struction today stated Donald w. Drennen of the Birmingham Motor company. when asked how the wear ing qualities of the worm compare with the wearing qualities of the other types of drive advocated by a few truck manufacturers.
 We believe any worm drive rear axle to be better than any. other type of final power transmission used in commercial cars. but we go one ster farther and say that the worm drive rear axle used on the Federal truck lis the very best type known to com mercial car manufacturers today. In fact. it is the consensus of opinion of the leading truck builders of this coun
 try as we'll as England and France
 that the worm has solved the power transmission problem for commercial ears for all time.
 '"The durability and efficiency of the worm drive depends a great deal on
 the proper design of the teeth of the
 worm and worm wheel on the proper |compination of materials and on the type of bearing used in mounting the
 worm."

Government Trucks On Firest0ne Tires
 Are After Villa

A peep behind the veil of secrecy that has surrounded the activities of the Uni ted States troops on the Mexican punitive expedition was given this week when il became known that over 200 trucks mostly of 11a tons capacity, had been re- ceived by government officers at El Paso Tex, and Columbus, N. M.
 Peculiar interest attaches to this news because of recent reports to the effect that the railroads have been unable tc cope with the situation. Thus the prob lems of transportation of supplies. de. volved entirely upon motor trucks, prov ing that trucks are becoming a greater factor than ever in modern transporta- ton. It is easy to conceive of the troubles that would have been encoun- tered had horse-drawn vehicles been called upon when the railroads proved in adequate The day of the truck Is here, and this is ample evidence in proof ot this statement.
 Firestone tires are on 8 great share ot this great fleet of trucks. and 1t is ex- pected that they will perform as well as they did few weeks ago when on a Saurer truck they were driven up to the top of Mt Wilson, carrying 1Sh-ton steel girder for the Mt. Wilson opserva- tory.
