Gentlemen;
Obedient to your Telegram I bes
10 submit such a report on your Je
rome property as the superficial ex
animation permitted me to make
within the allotted tine before ms
leaving Jerome.
Location OF Property
The two groups. known as the
Sullivan Groups comprising nine
claims or approximately 100 acres.
are located and almost wholly sur
rounded by the United Verde Exten-
tension. On the eastern end Of their
property TO the south lies the "Sut-
ter Larsen Group" lately acquired
by Ex-Governor Tasker L. eddie OF
Nevada and associates: the Mingus
Group lying east of Oddie purchase
and adjoining your property on the
south. it is thus e that your prop
erty lies almost within the town of
Jerome proper.
Topography
The town of Jerome nestles around
the base of a precipitous but rounded
OF peak, at an elevation Of some
5000 feet above sea level. The for
nation is cut by numerous gulches
and deep canyons. the immediate dis
trict being n of rough and steep
in%clines; with ever winding trails and
roadways and the higher peaks
reaching an elevation of some 1000
feet above sea level.
II is stated that the narrow gauge
railway from Jerome Junction to the
camp contains more sharp curves TO
the mileage than any other railroad
In the United States.
Your property lies considerably
lower than the tognsite and can be
looked down on from the street
above.

Geology Ore Occurrences. Etc.
As | have had occasion to remark
before. the geology of the Jerome
district proper. is practically the
same throughout. consisting Of the
oldest series OF rocks such as dior
ties and schists overlaid By lime
stone and sandstone sedimentaries.

throughout the area The limestone
and sandstone Gaping Is found re-
moved in many places w erosion &.
On your property I could imagine the
ore bodies developed on the United
Verde Extension should be encoun-
tered from 300 I o 400 feet nearer
the surface. This latter discovery
vas made on the 1900 foot level. II
is claimed this find was made or the

your property. These faults while
