Benjamin Gillies, Engineer for Calumet and Jerome, Says
 Second Find of Ore Should be Made in Very Short Time
FAULT ENTERS THIS
 EXCELLENT PROSPECT
More Interest is Now Being Taken in Jerome Than at Any Time Since Last Sum- mer When Boom Was at Its Height.

 PRESCOTT. Ariz. Mar. 24.-Eariy May is the time set by Benjamin Gill lies. consulting engineer for the Cal umet X Jerome Copper company. for the discovery of a second body of cop per ore in that companys workings. recently the scene of a strike ef per cent copper at nominal depth. The strike of 1 per cent copper is a con tinuatiOn of a deposit encountered at a corresponding depth in the United Verde Extension workings. but is not the main copper ore body from which the Extension people are mining high grade. The latter. in the opinion of Mir. Gillies. will be encountered at an approximate depth of 1000 feet.
 Mir. Gillles is also Of the opinion that large and valuable body of cop per will be found at a depth of 500 feet and expects to have C. G Us three-compartment shaft at that level not later than the first week in May. Should his mineralogical deductions prove correct. which is decidedly probable. the Calumet & Jerome ground carries three separate ore bod ies of value
 Fault Enters C. & ].
 At the time of Mir. Gillies reCeat eN- animation Of the Calumet X Jerome property in the interests of the Lew isohns, owners of a substantial inter- est therein, he traced the strike of the great Haynes north and south fault through the Remington claim of the Calumet X Jerome estate. This fault is the great ore maker of the Jerome field. It is the fault which split and largely enriched the United Verde Extension vein. and is the fault after which the Haynes COpper-now the Jerome Victor Extension proper twas named. The Victor Exten- sion ground lies against the hanging wall of the Haynes fault. Nearby the line of tn eVictor Extension es- tate the United Verde Copper com pany has entered large and valua- ble body of copper ore. The pitch of this ore body is toward Victor Exten- sion ground and all of the mineralosi- cal indications favor its continuation through the Victor Extension estate. Contributory evidence to that end is presented in the United Verde Exten- sion and the Calumet & Jerome prop critics.
 All Eyes On Jerome
 Investors in mining shares through out Arizona are watching with more than ordinary interest the develop ment of the estate of the Jerome Cop per company and the progress Of the plans for financing the corporation. A King. consulting engineer and man aging director of the company. are now in New York City for the pur- pose of securing funds for develop ment purposes and arranging for the listing of Jerome Copper company shares on the New York Curb. The company has the financial backing Of prominent Canadians. including sev- eral influential members of the Can adian parliament. and through their agency Messrs. Kastner and King have been enabled to interest New Workers in the enterprise. Local in vestors in mining shares are prepared to take over substantial blocks Of the initial offering of Jerome Copper as the property is located in the heart of the proven copper belt at Jerome and has one of the best copper ors showings at nominal depth in that famous section.
 The Verde's Treasury.
 In a chronicle of mining news of the Jerome field it is never amiss to mention that phenomenon among cop per mines, the United Verde Exten- sion. It may be that the following iata concerning Verde Extension is not altogether fresh news to the read sr; but. like good story. news about the Verde Extension is always worth repeating.
