Wilhelm is enthusiastic over his com pany holdings, and said yesterday:
 When air connection is made in the New State something unusual is going to happen. The tunnel is near ing the point to afford energetic de- velopment. as well is production to begin forthwith. The situation is de- cidedly interesting in the New State, and my companies have authorized work to begin on all holdings. which include the Perry and the Elk claims. In few days the New State will be open for inspection by any mining men who desire, when actual cOndi- tions can be investigated
 The Elk and the Perry are situated to the soHth of the New State, and both were located over third of a century ago. The Perry produced quite heavily in free gold, while mill runs also were made from the Elk. The greatest depth given on the fs- sure was less than l50 feet, until the New State was revived less than a year ago.

VENTURE HILL SHOWING IS
 STRONG
ENTHUSIASM EVIDENCED
 AT DIRECTORS MEET ING WHEN ENGINEER REILLY MAKES REPORT.
(From Thursdays DaiIy.O


 Enthusiasm was evidenced at. a meeting of the directors of the Ven turc Hill Mining Company here Tuesday night when their superinten- dent and engineer, John s. Reilly, re- ported most favorably on the prog ress being made on the company's property in the Jerome district
 Camp has been established, accord ing to the engineers report, and two shifts of three men each are at work. This force will be increased to l2 or Is men within the next ten days dur ing which time it is expected that part of the machinery which has been or dered will arrive The force will be increased as fast as expediency will permit.
 Engineer Reilly reported that the track had been relaid in the tunnel to the dump and that cars had been re- ceived for the same.
 A survey Oi tiiC luiihCi iiON Oii tiiS property has been completed by J. William Waara, of this city. His re- port shows that the tunnel will have to be re-driftcd 127 feet from its present workings in order to drift under the ore bearing dyke which is the surface indication of the Venture Hill ore body.
 When the tunnel is changed to agree with the new survey, a shaft will be sunk from the tunnel base. Engineer Reilly was enthusiastic over present indications and gave a glow ing report on the present showing and progress.
 All of the Venture Hill directors were present except Boaz Duncan, president of the company, who IS in Los Angeles. Phil Pecharich, of Je- rome, and C. T. Jolly, of Clarkdale, motored to Prescott for the meeting. The latter two men, who are in the district in which the mine is located, were also pleased with the progress and showing made by Engineer Reilly.

WORK IS RUSHED ON
 ROAD TO P. ]. MINE

Special Correspondence.
 JEROME, July 12-With 700 feet completed, the new road to the Pitts burg-Jerome is becoming reality. The delay in securing the required number of tools has limited the size of the force employed, but an addi- tional consignment received Tuesday enabled the management to increase the force to 75 men. Contractor Snyder is on the ground and the plac- ing of an extra crew at the mine end of the road insures rapid progress.
 The entire length of the road when completed viii be l5zOO feet, a differ encc of HOO feet over the length of the route as at first laid out. The ex- tra distance to be travelled is due to the encircling of hill for the pur- pose of reducing the grade. The road will have an average grade of 7 per cent, and when finished, which will in all probability be within 60 days from the time work was started, will provide convenient access to the prop crty by route running above the old Iron King and Copper Chief road, merging into the latter for short distance. As soon as sufficient tools can be obtained the force will be in- creased to l50 men.
 The shaft at the mine is down l95 feet below the 500-foot level and showing considerable copper on the face of the ledge, with soft forma- ton showing up in the bottom of the shaft. Drifting in the south cross cut gives indication of approaching water.
 The water is being handled at pres ent with one pump. stationed on the 800 level and pumping from there tc the surface. A reservoir has been formed for storage by the building oi a dam across a drift run from the soc level at a point l6O feet north of the shaft. The bulkhead is four feet in width, and by its thickness of several feet is able to hold big reservoir of water in readiness for pumping, al the convenience of the operators This water is piped to the camp build ings and provides a plentiful supply of cold water for domestic purposes

HUMBERT TELLS OF
 FUTURE FOR COPPER

Special Correspondence.
 JEROME, July 12.-Different ideas as to what will be the future for the price of copper and the copper min ing industry in general are given out at different times. w. s. Humbert, manager of the Green Monster, when approached upon the subject the oth- CT day, did not decline, as many do, to venture a speculative consideration of the question.
 Facing the issues of the end of the European war, Mir. Humbert sees period of radical readjustments of all business which will consume some months during which reaction from the present soaring values of copper will take place, prior to the placing of business on normal plane again
 Asked whether he thought copper would then proceed to anything like its present high level, he said he does not believe it will, for the reason that much of the present unusual value at tached to this metal is speculative in its source, brought about by the fever ish conditions which attend the de- mands made by the warning peoples on the worlds visible supply, and the temptation presented thereby for speculation among the traders.
 With the end of the war approach ing, although apparently a good many months off yet, the postwar period of reconstruction is an inevitable con clusion. with the temporary time ot readjustment and its attendant un- settled conditions, among which Mir. Humbert secs the possibility of more or less labor agitation pending the settling down to normal rebuilding.
 The present situation is real in the unusual opportunities it presents for the development of the mining indus try, and the course open for the plac- ing of good properties on solid and substantial operating basis is not be- ing lost sight of by the fraternity of practical mining men now taking ad- vantage of the opportunity in all the big copper districts of the country. With eyes fully opened to the inevit- able change to come sooner or later, the present activities denote that min ing properties of all classes will even tually come out of the present period. fit and ready to weather any tempo rary period of unstable prices and un- settled conditions which may for time serve to change the aspect of the entire industrial conditions in this class of the country's resources.

MINE STRIKE
 RECALLS EARLY DAYS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Arrivals from Walker yesterday re- ported the biggest strike in the his tory of that district as taking place few days ago on the old Home estead, which was acquired some months ago by ]. H. Shockley and associates or New York City, and that three foot gold ore body has been determin- cd was incontrovertibly proven. As we'll did the vein filling carry good milling grade in the loose formation, all values being withheld. Several large samples were brought iron, the main vein, showing a sulphide condition, to substantiate what had been determined. The strike occurred at a depth of approximately 75 feet, in the main shaft, the point selected by the new operators for principal development under the direction oi Mr. Shocklcy, practical operator un- til recently of Colorado.
 The Homestead lies in the center of the town of Walker, and its early day history is quite interesting. It was first owned and operated in the eos by J. ]. Milliken, when its free product was treated on the ground by an arastra. Base ores coming in lead to its abandonment for want oi proper methods to successfully treat its product, and when taken over re- gently by the present operators, tine Homestead had been slumbering io, nearly a third of a century. The ef- feet of the Homestead strike has materially stimulated other old time properties in that field to prepare foi early action to reach greater depth, where limited development shows equally as attractive possibilities.

 According to present plans the re- opening of the old Black Canyon stage road between Prescott and Phoenix will take place before August lst, and the event is to be appropri- ately observed by an auto excursion from the capital to the Mile High City.
 The restoration of this roadway re- calls early days of staging out of Prescott to the south, in which the route was preferred by travellers, ow- ing to the distance from Prescott to Phoenix being less than no miles as against 147 miles via Wickenburg. Maricopa county is generously CO., operating in the new movement, com- pleting a few days ago the construc- tion of large bridge over tine Ari- zona canal as well as reducing the distance over four miles in that terri tory. Aside from the pleasure of travelling again over the historical line, IA mining companies have re- cently entered the Southern 1avapai field, and their outlet to the north will be via Turkey station for ship ping out their mineral product and taking in supplies. Business and pleasure will accordingly be entwined when the historical roadway IS again placed on the map.
