Copper Development company and others.
 The first prominent company to follow Horace GreelTs advice to young men was the Michigan Verde. This company has eight claims and the east line of two is only 1900 feet west of the famous United NNerde glory hole" The glory hole was a great blowout Of high grade gold copper ore and was practically the only sur fact indication that the United Verde mine had. It Is now claimed that the United Verde has stopped right close to it's west line. within a short dis tance of the Michigan Verde hold ings. and that it's richest ore is coming from those west stopes. United Verde miners believe that the United Verde ore body pitches right in the direction of the Michigan Verde This belief accounts for the fact that employees of the United Verde ab- sorbed SO per cent of the first 200. COG shares offered nv he Michigan Verde company
 There is almost no surface showing on the Michigan Verde holdings An iron dike cuts through the lime and it is said that iron Is always an indica . ton of copper in this district but there is no copper on the surface. The Michigan Verde company will have q famous engineer on the ground in a short time to take charge of the sink ing Of working shaft. It is probable that the shaft will have to be sunk 10 g depth of a thousand feet or so before the ore is struck. but as much Of the sinking will be through lime and sandstone and the work will not be expensive.
 A little to the north of the Michigan Verde is the Verde Hercules. the new name given rO a baOck Of ground held for years by an old prospector named Chris Harr! housen. Like the Michi- gan Verde the Verde Hercules is covered with lime but 1t is claimed that the water from spring on the property is impregnated with copper The Hercules company has made ar rangements with x. Bertrand, Of Sisbee. for diamond drilling it's ground
 Just a little farther north and to the west is the United Val Verde group Of thirty claims. held by w L. OBrien. formerly Of Butte. It Is un. derstood that Boston people are in- teresfed with O'Rrien and that de- velopment will be under way soon
 Right in the vicipity of the Michigan Verde is the Boston and Jerome. a pi pHnisNiS property that mas just been acquired bv a syndicate Of Jerome and Prescott people headed by <. F. Balen- tine 4 l3o-foot shaft which has dis closed Some copper ore is to be sunk to depth. Much of the lime. on the surface of the Boston and Jerome is stained with copper.
 South of the Michigan Verde and alout four miles from Jerome is the Verde Monster q group of claims to- tating 800 acres. This is also covered with lime, but several strong quartz ledges cut across the property As sessment work Is now being done under the direction Of Superintendent J. J. Pearls, who a few days ago dis covered some pieces of green stained float quartz. The Verde Monster company is prepairing to undertake development work.
 Not far from the Verde Monster lS the United Jerome. property with much the same surface characteristics A wide intrusive quartz dike. heavily stained with iron, cuts across the entire group. The United Jerome company Is now considering bids for drilling it's acerage.
 C. P. Campbell and k. V. Le Grand. Of Los Angeles. have taken over the smart and McCluskey group of six teen pr eighteen claims adjoining the United Jerome.
