PRESCOTT. Arizona. June 16.-A general speeding up of mining activity throughout Yavapai county is the af- termath of the short-lived strike at Jerome. This quickening of energy to all branches of the mining indus try. precious metals as well as base. and has daily become more apparent since the miners returned to their jobs. Local mining men assert that operations have increased at least one-fourth in scope during the past few weeks and predict a further in- crease with the passing of the days They speak confidently of the future of the mining industry here and pre- dict unprecedented mining energy and mining success for the remainder of the current year. Tn fact. they are now predicting that 1917 will be the most successful year the mining in- dustry If Yavapai county has ever eX- peienced.
 Aside from the two premier mines at Jerome-United Verde and United Verde Extension-which. under nor nal conditions. are always worked st top capacity. increased mining effort is noticeable at the Calumet & Jerome Jerome Verde. Dundee-Arizona. Je- rome Copper. Verde Apex. Venture Hill. Jerome Victor Extension. Green Monster. Verde Combination. A. & A.. and other properties that seem destin- ed in due course to add appreciably to the output of copper ore from this county. To the south of Jerome. along the belt of minerGlized schist that sirdles the intervening country Co Grown King. the same satisfactory conditions prevail. as they likewise do in Copper Basin. Walker Basin. the Congress. Crown King. Lynz Creek. Constellation. Wickenburg. Senator and Groom Creek sections.
 Calumet and Jerome.
 The shaft at the Calumet & Jerome property is nearing a depth of 500 feet. where a station is to be cut and considerable prospecting done. As matter of fact. it appears decidedly probable the work on the 50O-foot level will open a body of commercial ore as the shaft is now in ore which from time to time is strongly impreg- mated with copper. So encouraging is the immediate outlook at the C. x |. the management contemplates in- stalling facilities for handling the mine
 s,1 r,wc for the tramway the company will at once construct to the site of the Unit ed Verde Extension smelter at Cotton wood. The distance to be covered ap- proximates two miles. lt will of course be many months before the Verde Extension shelter is in opera ton. but the Calumet & Jerome man. agement purposes to take time by the forelock SO as to have a nearby out let for ore at the earliest time pos sible.
 Work has been discontinued tempor- arily in the Dundee-Arizona shalt. pending the arrival and installation of pumps capable of handling the flow of water encountered in sinking. In the meantime several small shipments will be made to the Humbolt shelter the ore being drawn from the silicious deposit exposed at surface and on the 65-foot level. A trial shipment of this ore sent to Humboldt netted about S2o per ton. There are approximately 1000 tons of similar grade ore on the dump. Development to date consists of shaft 46O feet deep. intersected by a tunnel 22O feet long at the 100 foot point. and levels at the 65. 300 and 45O-foot points.
