The latter will be freighted to the site via the old ore road to Ash Fork, formerly used by the United Verde company and a road the Verde Development company will build to connect there with about three miles from Jerome.
 Area to the South.
 A number of recently organized companies are busy developing their acreages south of the United Verde and United Verde Extension mines. The section is one which holds very encouraging mineral yielding possibili- ties and is viewed with favor by the mining men of the camp. The Michi- gan-Verde Copper company is outlin- ing plans for the development of its estate at depth and expects to have work well advanced before the close of the current year The company holds BIO acres, 130 acres-in two lots, one of 90 and the other of 40 acres being located in proximity to the ia nous United Verde mine. It carries the iron gossan and copper-stained quartz characteristic of the country in the vicinity of the United Verde and United Verde Extension properties and is considered one of the most valuable preferred prospects in the Verde dis trict. The work preliminary to devel- opment at depth is now being done and is attended by favorable mineral ogical indications.
 Nearby the estate of the Michigan Verde people the Boston X Jerome company is preparing to develop its acreage. A camp has been estab- lished and force of miners is now engaged in cleaning out the old work ings and in going over the property in general. Like the Michigan-Verde the Boston & Jerome holds forth prom ise of copper ore production. It is one of the oldest corporations doing business in the Verde district, but un- til recently, due to the for-many-years lack of interest in copper proposi- tions, was imperative. Now, howev- CT. it is to be at once developed at depth under the supervision of con- petent mining engineers. Funds for that purpose have been assured and Reorganization was recently brought
