Shaft of Promising Looking Property Now Down 100 Feet and Fast Progress Is Object of Management.

i JEROME. March g. With their power plant operating splendidly. all connections made, the shaft down 100 feet. the force increased from two 10 1 four men on each of the three shifts operating in the shaft, and the red iron gossan entered. there is reason out at the Calumet and Jerome today for the abundance of enthusiasm that is entertained along with high pride from the top to the bottom of the or ganization on the ground in their equipment and the way it is handling { itself.
 Calumet and Jerome power plant was turned over and put in regular service on Wednesday. This step marked the beginning of a campaign of vigorous development which will be persisted in without easement un- til mine is either made or barren zone determined. On the latter score it is conceded by everybody in the dis trict that if there is one of its devel oping properties that has right to full ly expect large success it is the Calu- met and Jerome.
 On this property there was much we'll directed prospecting through tunnel work prior to the determina- ton of such conditions of formation as satisfied those who are financing the enterprise that there was great deal to warrant the expenditure of money in making such depth as ne- cessary to enter the permanent ore body. Location of the shaft was made pursuant to the findings in the preliminary prospecting about 200 feet east of the north fault of the dis trict as it shows on the surface. The fault is here pitching to the east. Its trend indicates that the property is on the Verde Extension formation. and the finding of similar schist, Guartzite and gossan further substan- tiates this belief
 Going down. the shaft was in lava boulders nearly all the way. They passed out of these on Wednesday in to clay lying on the west side. Through thin layer of this they have passed into the red gossan, cor responding with the tunnel findings around the depth of 200 feet which was attained with the bore below the shaft site. Some QuartZite and cop per stain among the boulders occur ed in the shaft. giving additional cause for faith from the geological standpoint
 The plant installed and now in full operation at the Calumet Jerome is considered to be the very best erected fr h;g ti,,an fr, ha trio Frt peoting campaign Indeed, when they get their mine they will not need to either increase the plant or alter the shaft they are sinking in order to han dle the business that will be present ed. The shaft is of three compart- ments, timbered with 10x10. The gal lows frame above it is an excellent piece of construction. The hoist is a double drum Lidgerwood. good for depth of 1900 feet It IS direct driven by 75 h. p. Westinghouse motor Air is furnished by an lngersoll Rand Im- perial type 10 compressor with capa- city of 513 cubic feet, driven by a 75 h. p. Westinghouse motor. Re lieved of pumping by electric equip ment. there will be no question about this compressor ever being overload ed. They have an abundance of juice over all needs for compressor and electric pump. The power plant is equipped with a 2S5 h. D. Deisel en- zine. direct coupled to 200 Crocker- Wheeler generator. There is an ex- citer and a panel board with this equipment The entire works with
