DENIES REPORT OF
 STRIKE ON J.-V. PROPERTY
Special Correspondence.

SpcCl2l OOrreSpOnQenCe.
 JEROME, Sept. 16. - The report circulated here that the Jerome-Verde had struck ore, was branded as false by Superintendent Harper: likewise the rumor that the ore body of the United Verde Extension had been opened mp to within few feet of the line of the Jerome-Verde is declared to be without any foundation.
 While the Jerome-Verde is one of the most promising properties in the Verde district, it is not expected to strike the orc body at much less than l,2O0 feet The work or enlarging the shaft to three compartments is going steadily forward. The water, which threatened to stop this work a few days ago, Is again under control, and is being lowered as fast as necessary to allow the carrying on of the shaft work.
 The old single-compartment shaft is down something over 700 feet. This is being converted into a three com partment shaft, which, to date, has been completed and timbered to the depth of about $50 feet.

 Western Pine Lumber and Milling Company The plan is to built a rail road south from Holbrook to Pine top. tapping a wonderfully rich tim Der country and incidentally opening up an agricultural region of great promise. If its plans are perfected, the new company will be the means of stimulating the reclamation of thousands of acres of valuable land along the Little Colorado, and may even open up a new fruit district in the highlands of Southern Navajo county.
 The articles of incorporation of the new company are now being published and some action may be expected shortly, 1t is thought.
 Tremendous Possibilities.
 It is no flight of fancy to see a tremendous development of the null hilarious resources of Arizona coming within the next few years.

In every industry the State possesses, there are possibilities that are little short of marvellous, and according to financial experts, their realization is now matter of but a few years Arizona Republican.
