3,5OO,OOO Pounds of Ore from U. V. Extension Smelted Last Month-Figures Close to That of July.

PRESCOTT. AriZ., Sept. Sampler and shelter returns indicate the re- clamation of 3.500.OO0 pounds of cop per from United Verde Extension (Little Daisy), ores during the month of August These figures correspond closely with the copper mats figures for July. There. however. the analogy ends: for the ore tonnage shipped during August was considerably less than during July. which means. of course. that the average copper con tent of the ore was higher in August than July.
 The winze that is being sunk on the 1,40Ofoot level is down better than so feet in ore which carries from 20 to 50 per cent copper to the ton. Native copper is a feature in the winze and in the level above
 With the object of early setting forth the remarkably high copper con tents carried by United Verde Exten- sion ores the following comparison with the ores of the United Verde is made. And this comparison carries naught of disparagement: for the United Verde has for years been. and yet is. one of the worlds greatest copper mines.
 Shipping p per cent Product
 The general average copper con- tent of United Verde ores approNi- mates 6 per cent The United Verde Extension people label their 10 per cent copper ore: Second Grade" The United Verde management is mining and smelling thousands of tons of from to per cent copper ore monthly. The United Verde Extension management is not shipping a pound of its from 6 to s per cent copper ore, although thousands of tons there of have been opened in the mine The ore sent out from the United Verde mine carries. on an average. about 6 per cent copper That sent out from the United Verde Extension mine car ries about 22 per cent copper
 The figures quoted tell the story of the treasure in copper disclosed in the United Verde Extension mine more eloQuently than would a grouping of superlatives. Also. they demonstrate the presence of a mine of unusual value in a section of the Jerome cop per district where certain geOlogists have hitherto said copper ore would not be found in appreciable tonnage which tends to the deduction that copper. like gold. is disposed at times to shatter theories. and is more often than no, where y3u find it"
 Illustration in Point.
 A case in point with the foregoing is the Monte Christo mine at COnstel- lation The Monte Christo. although located in a section recognized mainly for its gold-copper deposits. has for a number of years been noted for the value and extent of it's silver ore bodies. These ore bodies have been opened to a depth of 900 feet. and chiefly through the financial agency of Ezra Thayer. of Phoenix. At q depth of 960 feet. however. there is a decided change in the geological conditions. accompanied by a Subter- ranean water-fiow in large volume. A zone of copper was tapped with ;he water, and the indications are that below that point the red metal will predominate quite as generally in the mine as does the white metal above
 Barring accident the unwatering of the Arkansas X Arizona workings will be completed in few days The pumps are working satisfactorily and the end of the tedious job of freeing the 1.600-foOt shaft of water is in sight New drilling and other mine equipment is on hand and will soon be employed in carrying out the com pany's development plans.
