SUPERVISORS VISIT
 SOUTH MOHAVE ROAD

Supervisors L. H. Foster and c. w. Lynch returned yesterday from trip of inspection along the proposed high way connecting Yucca with Swansea. The road through Cienega ranch was gone over and that running out of Mohave Gap was also looked into. Eshom's ranch offers the only water between Yucca and the McCracken country and it is probable that the road will be carried along the lines of the old road.
 Easy gradient can be secured from Eshom's to McCracken and a suitable crossing over Bill Williams Fork may be had by way of a bridge that will be inexpensive to build. The road should by all means go in, as it will open up a rich mineral territory.

DE LA FONTAINE MINE |
 WILL WORK SECOND SHIFT

The Arizona Butte company is ar ranging to add a second shift in its De la Fontaine mine and in it's mill. The De la Fontaine mine has a large amount of ore developed above the 200-foot level, and it will be possible to keep the mill busy three shifts as soon as arrangements have been com pleted for power drills to. break the ore.
 The company is planning to install a compressor plant at once either at the mill, which is situated near the Banner mine, or at the De la Fontaine mine, 2OOO feet above it.
 MT. Crowther, the company's man ager, stated that the earnings of the company while operating only one shift were more than sufficient to pay all costs.
 The production from the De la Fontaine mine has only recently been added to the output of the company, and from this time forward the earn ings will be materially increased.

PAYROLL WORKING

The Payroll is again going under a full head of steam, this time under lease to L. F. Martin and his associ- ates of Calexico. The new operators intend re-equipping the plant and have been engaged in excavating for a foundation for a 65 horsepower gas engine for the compressor, which was heretofore run by the 40 horsepower hoist engine. The plans call for a cage in the shaft and for pushing for word of the south drift from the 255- foot point, the present face, to a point under the big ore showing on the sur face, an estimated distance of 25O feet farther.

HOWE ENTHUSIASTIC
 OVER NORTHERN ARIz.

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 10.-Charles R. Howe, member of the tax commis- sion has returned from an official trip through the northern part of the state.
 His report of conditions in the various mining camps which he wis tied, demonstrate that mining activity has not let up, and if any thing is in creasing. He found Jerome especially busy and prosperous even for that camp.
 At Chloride, he visited the property of the Chloride Mining company in which many local people are inter ested. MT. Howe was keenly enthu- siastic over the development espe- cially in the Hidden Treasure.

GLADSTONE WILL OPERATE
 ON NEW YORK CAPITAL

Work of unwatering the Gladstone mine, which is located in the Cerbat range, three miles easterly from Chloride, comprising eight claims, be- gan last week.
 The company has been financed by New York men, and the officers are: F. c. Smith, president; W. B. Witch ell, Vice-president, and W. T. Smith, secretary and treasurer.
 Machinery is on the way for the operation of the Gladstone, which is already developed by a shaft 14O feet deep and a drift over 100 feet in length.
 The Gladstone shows a strong out crop of rhyolite or quartz porphyry, enclosing a persistent Assure vein car rying gold, silver, zinc, copper and lead.
 The property has produced many thousands of dollars in ore, which in the early days was packed out on bur- ros and shipped to the smelters.
 A mill is to be installed on the prop erty.
 The property is adjacent to the Ten nessee, Golconda, Elkhart, Empire, Hidden Treasure and other well-nown properties.

HOFFMAN MAY MAKE
 MINE FROM HIS WELL

Chris Hoffman is debating serious ly whether to abandon the water shaft where he is securing the water supply for the Chloride Water Com pany, which supplies the camp with water, and to seek elsewhere for water so that he can begin mining of ore in the present well, or to forget for the present the rich ore he un- covered last week while cleaning out the muck that partially filled the well when one wall caved in and exposed the vein of gold-silver and led that agitated Mir. Hoffman and created no little interest in the vicinity of the well.
 The vein carries the typical Silver hill gold-silver-lead ore and has the of permanency. Absolute ly no work has been done toward opening it up, as the camp depends to a large extent on the well for it's water needs and until another source could be obtained it would not be pos sible to do anything further toward development. The find illustrates the possibility of other "blind" leads being or of possible development of this one at such distance removed from the we'll as not to endanger it's usefulness as a well.

HIDDEN TREASURE
 WORKING INTO GOOD ORE

The Number One oreshoot on the Hidden Treasure has been developed 115 feet to the west and no feet to the east. It shows ore of an average thickness of six feet for this distance and has vertical depth from the sur face of 45O feet.
 The ore still continues in each direc- tion with a width of over six feet in the west drift and about three feet in the east drift. The average value of the ore is estimated at from $25 to S3O, with the best values in silver, lead and zinc.

COPPER AGE SHOWS
GOOD VEIN OF PAY ORE


 The oreshoot reported last week as having been encountered in the Copper Ages lower tunnel was inspected Wednesday and it was found that the ore was over three feet in width and showing good copper as well as lead values.
 The tunnel had been deviated from it's course slightly in order to en- counter the vein, which will now be followed until it reaches a point un- deneath the upper workings.
 From the surface indications it ap- pears likely that ore will be found al- most continually from the present point to a point approximately 900 feet farther, from which the ore has been proven by the drifts above for 800 feet additional. The Copper Age vein is extremely well-defned and regular in it's surface course and the drifts underneath serve to demonstrate that the vein is also highly mineral ized as far as it has been develop ed.
 The power drills in use in the upper workings were supplied for the first time this week with air from the large compressor which is now installed near the mill. This compressor has been located at the foot of the hill and supplies air to the lower tunnel as well as the upper tunnel and winze.
 The new 125-horsepower West Coast engine has been installed in the new mill and has been given the initial tryout, proving it to be in perfect or der.
 Mir. Northrup, superintendent of construction in the mill, stated that the plant would be given a turnover within a weeks time, and should be ready to treat ore by the end of the month. The machinery has all been delivered in the mill and the last of it is now being connected up.
 The roaster, which is to be used to treat the zinc concentrates, will ar rive from Fl Paso next week and will be installed under the direction of George Goerner, who is the inventor of the new process for treating zinc ores.
 The ore-bins are being framed and will be set up just above the mill. A trestle-work is being constructed which will carry the ore cars from the lower tunnel to a point above these ore-bins.

STENE MILL SHIPS
 GOOD GRADE OF ORE

The first shipments of concentrates from the Stene mill, in the Centennial Wash section, west of McCracken, was made Wednesday, one big truck hauling in about six tons of high grade lead-silver product. The mill has been run only short time to try it out and it has been found to work quite successfully.
 The Stene mines have been opened by a long tunnel that cuts the vein at depth of several hundred feet be- low the apex and shows excellent lead ore in the vein mass.

 The purpose of this new tunnel is to furnish an intermediate level to which a raise can be driven from the cross cut tunnel level.
 The new tunnel is being run by con- tract, with two shifts employed. It has been driven 80 feet in the last three weeks.

SCHNECTADY SHAFT BEING
 SUNK FIVE FEET DAILY

The Schnectady shaft is down to the 300, with about two feet of the same character of higherade that has been in evidence on the 175 foot level and practically all the way down from that level.
 The contractors save as much of this ore as they can, but in their endeavors to make footage they use heavy charg- es of powder and pulverize everything, rendering it next to impossible to re- cover more than a small portion of the: ore. The shaft is being sunk at the rate of five feet a day.

NELLIE STRIKES GOOD oREE

The report came to the Miner from Oatman yesterday that the west cross cut on the 500 level of the Nellie mine has passed through eight feet of ore that gives an average of better than $20. Assays were being run and more details will be given later, but it is very probable that the value will be upward of the amount stated.

VERDE HAS MADE BIG STRIKE;
 FINE VEIN FOUND

JEROME, May 1O.-(SpeciaD-Ev- erything that has come out in regard to the Jerome Verde strike tends to show that it is the real thing, and that the Jerome Verde will be the third big mine of the camp.
 Samples of the drill cuts seen in Jerome show that the drill passed through the glance horizontally. Therefore, the ore shoot is two feet and a half wide.
 Assays show that the ore runs all the way from 26 to 32 per cent cop per. The story that one assay ran as high as 40 per cent cannot be con- frmed.
 When the drill hit the ore it was in APO feet. It had passed through 1855 feet of quartz. The ore is in ledge of porphyry about 25 feet wide. Auartz was entered again on the other side.
 Drill To Be Moved
 This drill hole is being continued. As the capacity yof the drill is only 700 feet, the drill will probably be moved in a few days.
 From all that can be learned, an other fiat hole will be drilled from the same crosscut to intersect the ore at point about 100 feet north of the first strike. If it can be proven that the ore extends for 100 feet it will have been demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that Jerome Verde is a mine.
 It will take about 30 days to drill the proposed hole. Then a hole will be driven on an angle half way be- tween the two, to determine if the ore goes down.
 Little doubt is felt here that both these holes will crosscut the same ore body. It is generally believed that the Jerome Verde has the north con- tinuation of the United Verde Exten- sion ore body.
 New Shaft Planned
 It is probable that before any ore is extracted the Jerome Verde will have to sink another shaft near the foot of the hill under which the strike was made. It will have to be as deep as the U. V. Extensions Edith shaft.
 What is commonly spoken of as the 14OO-foot level of the Extension is really the 12OO-foot level of the Edith shaft, for the Extension people count from the collar of the old Daisy shaft, l. 200 feet above.
 The Jerome Verde drill is operating ground from the 14OO-foot level, which is actually only 1900 feet from the surface.
 Even if the crosscut is driven over to the ore, there will be no way of getting the ore to the surface except ] through the Edith shaft. The Edith is now loaded to full capacity and an- other hoisting shaft is being sunk by the Extension only a few feet to the east. That second shaft will not be in use before November. It has been suggested that the Jerome Verde ] might wait until that time and then make arrangements with the Exten- sion for the hoisting of its ore through | one of it's shafts.
