During several months last year this copper authority made an exhaust i've study of geological conditions em- bracing the commercial field. with which he expressed himself as favor ably impressed, becoming thoroughly conversant with the holding he now takes charge of and which he will op- crate in a practical manner. MT. To- vote visited the camp during the week but is reticent as to what future plans of operating are to be carried out.

MAYER DISTRICT SHOWING RENEWED
 ACTIVITY; SEVERAL BIG DEALS CLOSED

MAYER, Ariz., Aug. 1S.-The taking over of the Mayer-Belford group of II mining claims, four miles east of this place, and the Ewing and Hooker mine near Jerome, by the General De- velopment company, means, perhaps, more to the Mayer district, directly, than to any other part of the great Jerome to Phoenix mineralized belt.
 The finding of high grade ore on the 600foOt level of the Arizona Bing- hamton and the great success that the Notation mill is showing on the lower grade ores at the same mine; the re- cent proving of large ore bodies of chalcopyrite ore, running from 2 to 2 per cent copper, in the Copper Queen mine adjoining the Arizona Bingham ton; the discovery of a 3-foot vein of 25 per cent copper ore in a 40-foot shaft on the Big Bug Copper com pany's ground a mile south of the Copper Queen; the taking over of the Barbara mine by the Bisbee leasers.

  the announcement that Senator Reyn- olds and Celera Stoddard have com menced to reorganize the old Stoddard Mining company with view of begin ming an extensive line of development on these old Copper Mountain prop critics; the striking of high grade copper ore in 50-foot shaft by O. Nj. Bywaters, of Roxton, Tex, on a prop erty southeast of the Copper Queen, and the announcement that the Half Moon company will soon start exten- sive development in this Copper Noun tain district, have caused great deal of investigation of the camp by the. best known mining engineers of the United States The announcement of the taking over of the we'll known heart of the camp, by the General De velopment company, puts the district in the high class rating right along with the older and larger producing sections of the state.
 The Mayer-Belford mine is known lOCdlly dS tne CnTlSlIlldS, SlHCe IL was located originally by Wm. Belford. of this town, on a Christmas day. The group is five claims long, covering one of the strongest outcrops of mineral ized schist and iron to be found in the Mayer district. At several places along tre strike, the vein has been found to be from 200 to 300 feet wide. and there are good sized widths of it that will run from to IF per cent copper A shaft has been sunk 50 feet, following down a vein that is con sidered very promising.
 Belford was staked by Bur Mayer, the local merchant, in the original To- cation of the ground. It is understood that each owner has received a cash payment and a good sized block of the stock in payment in full for their hold ings.
 While no public announcement has been made as to the amount of devel- opment that is to be done on each it is understood that the will give particular attention to the opening up of the Ewing and

A Deep Shaft

Here's a yard I heard while act ing as inspector on the Catskill aqueduct.
 Two miners were arguing about deep shafts they had seen. Finally one said: "Awl you don't know what a deep shaft is. Why when l was out west 1 struck town where they said there was a deep shaft, so l went to look her over. When I got to the location I found the hoist house was made of cut stone and inside it had a marble floor. l went in and there was the biggest hoist I ever saw running like hell and the hoist runner was sitting in a chair sound asleep. ran over and woke him up and I says:
 You will be running the skip through the head house if you don't stop her
 He says. What day of the week is it?' and I says, Tuesday,
 "'Oh. helll' he says, she wont be up till Friday
 That's what l call deep shaft" HI. S. Bronxville. N. Y.

MLNES MINING, LOCAL STOCKS AND COPPER
JEROME COPPER IS
 READY FOR POWER
Company Will Have Its Plant
 Ready for Moving Upon the
 Ground as Soon as Road Is
 Passable, Is Report.

JEROME, Aug. 1S.-To complete ne gotiations with the Arizona Power company for current. A. L. Johns. su- perintendent' of the Jelome Copper company. left recently for Prescott. If negotiations are concluded satis- factorily, as now seems probable. the necessary transmission line will have been completed by September 10. Shortly after that development of the property will begin in earnest.
 The Jerome Copper company holds the Hooker & Ewing group of claims mile south of Jerome, and is now amply lnanced. An eastern syndicate has advanced all the money necessary for the development of the claims along modern lines and no stock will be offered by the company to the pub lie.
 few days ago a contract was let to Fleming & Stitzer for the building of about 5000 feet of road to afford easy access to the property. Their contract will be carried out in about two weeks.
 Unless there is some hitch in the negotiations with the power company, the Jerome Copper company will have its plant ready for moving upon the ground as soon as the road is pass able. The plane includes a compress sor, drills and other equipment, and is practically new. It was installed at a property south of Prescott last February and used hardly enough to break in the machinery. Recently it was purchased by the Jerome company
 In accordance with the advice of eminent engineers who have looked over the claims, an S00-foot tunnel will be driven to intersect the main diorite- schist fault at depth of 450 feet. The portal of this tunnel will be consider ably below the old one, which was driv- en in 100 feet, attained depth of POO feet. but failed to reach the fault
 Much low-grade ore has been found along the fault on the surface One 9S-foot tunnel opened a splendid show ing. A short cross-cut from this tun- nel intersected streaks of solid iron sulphide as much as a foot thick. En- gineers say that the changes for rich copper mine at depth are splendid.

Hooker mine, near Jerome. It is un- derstood that something like a quar- ter of million dollars is being paid for this property, good sized pay ment having been already made, the balance being due at the end of a year. In order to prove up the prop erty before the payment of the last be expended there. It is announced, however. that work of considerable ex- tent will be commenced on the Christ mas mine, at Mayer, within 90 days. It is reported on excellent authority that the General Development company has put up half a million dollars so far in the big deal
 There is no question but that the large dealings in mining properties in this immediate district during the past larger sales. The district around Cop per mountain covers an area at least five miles square with many excellent properties yet to be exploited lying adjacent to the mines already taken over by companies. The formation is such that prospecting can be carried on easily for there is no sedimentary formation to cover up the mineralized zones, which, in many cases, can be traced clear across the entire dis trict.
 The four Bisbee mining men. who have just taken over the Barbara mine, have held valuable leases in several copper camps in Arizona and other states. It is their opinion that this Copper mountain camp is poor mans" country for the ease with which the ore is found.
