 ! Mining interests in the district, as , applying to developing properties, Is now centered upon Jerome Verde. The latter is cutting it's station at the 1030 depth, corresponding with the 1400 level of the United Verde Extension. A 25-foot dump will be dropped below the station. Drifting from the stauon to the east will be commenced probably during the next week By May l the mine should be into the ore body lNGi- ested by the iron capping which it went through for a distance of 20 feet around depth of 97o feet and warrant for which IS d-so gwen in the known conditions on the 1890 and HOO levels of the EX- tension General opinion is that Je- rome Verde will provide the next big movement in the district, although Arkansas & Arizona is conceded to be in the way of coming into ore at any time Their drifts from the 1s40 foot sta ation continue to look favorable to 4n ore body at any time, but there has been no marked recent change in the conditions of formation.
 Jerome Victor is rapidly getting its new equipment installed and win soon 9e ready to go ahead on it's 1900 level where it is believed that with riddance If the water trouble they will be able 10 make rapid progress toward deter mining definitely whether they have a mine or not. There are a great many who believe that Jerome Victor will add a producer to the districts list be- lore the end Of the year. Jerome Port sand is also considered in the class of probable producers before the year is out
 Calumet Gl Arizona turned over it powerful equipment on Wednesday,
 when the Gadsaen shaft came under electric current and the development there started in real earnest. The three compartment shaft had been put down about 75 feet by hand. The sinking now will be fast. The equipment they have installed is equal to whatever there may be required for in either prospecting or subsequent mining op- arations. It is considered the most complete outfit that has ever been set up in the state for q prospecting cam paign, a fact that is accepted as giving very strong backing to the belief of mining men of the district that mine will be made oh this property
 Adjacent to the Gadsden the Verde Combination is making a record in rapid sinking. They are now below their tunnel level with the shaft, the upraise from the tunnel to meet the sinking having been completed last week. This has all been hand work to date. Heavy machinery equipment for the property is now partly at Clarkdale and will be hauled to the mine during the next week, the necessary road building having been finished The bal ance of the equipment is due at Clark dale at any tune, having been shipped by the manufacturers.

 better than 250 feet. But for a heavy 1 flow Of water encountered early in the
