 The United Verde company now has 1900 men on it's payroll. This force will be increased about 800 during the summer. A contract for the con struction of forty new houses in Clark dale is to be let by the company in a few days.
 Two Strikes.
 Two new strikes have added to tie mining fever that now prevails in Je- rome One has been made in the Copper Chief and the other in the Dundee Arizona.
 The Copper Chief, four miles south of Jerome, is owned by the Hayden Development company. and no de tails regarding the strike have been made public. It is known however, that contract has been let for the freighting of 90 tons of copper ore daily to Clarkdale, to be shipped from that point to one of the smelters in the southern part of the state.
 For years the Copper Chief was supposed to be only gold and sil- yer hline. It has a splendid surface showing of gold ore. The main ledge is 20 feet wide from the surface to the 160-foot level. and it averages SS a ton in gold and silver.
 IA 300 feet. a drift was run 150 feet, all in copper ore averaging two per cen At $50 feet, the present depth of the shaft, the ore is much higher in copper It is from this level that the ore to be shipped is now being stopped. It is silicious in char acter
 A tunnel taps the shaft at $50 feet, and through this the gold ore mined above the 160foot levels trammed out to the mill. The plant, which is tube and ball mill with cyanide plant, is treating 125 tons of ore a day and saving seventy per cent of the values. It was completed only last October and is one of the most mod ern mills of its type in the southwest.
 James Wellington Finch. the noted geologist and mining engineer. is now at the Copper Chief making an exam ination. ltis understood that he is formulating a plan for tire develop ment of the unexpected copper dc posit.
 Shea Copper Go.
 Just outh o fthe Copper Chief, but on omewhat lower ground. lie four patented caims owned by n. J. Shea, one of Jerome's most prominent mer- chants. The surface showing is full ly encouraging as on Copper Chief ground but the copper values are much higher and the gold values less. About 5000 worth Of work ha sbeen done. Several shallow shafts have been sunk, some short tunnels have been run. All are in ore; and no place has either wall of the ore been cut There are eight or nine outcrops all running well up in copper The Shea is soon 10 be added to .he Jerome districts list of active mines. MT. Shea is organizing tho Shea Copper Company. capitalized at S750,000. There are to be l.500,000 shares with a par value of 50 cents each A portion of this stock is to be offered for sale at par As the Shea claims are regarded as one of the best prospects in the Jerome dis trict, many applications for stock re- seIvations have already been rcceiy ed.
