 A Roster of Live Ones
 Other companies in the Verde dis trict, aside from those mentioned in my dispatches of last week covering the yearly mineral production of Va vapai county. upon whose acreage de velopment work is now progressing, are: Verde Copper Development com pany, Jerome Daisy, Verde Combina- tion, Green Monster. Boston & Je- rome, Michigan-Verde. Jerome Supe- rior, Jerome Verde, Pittsburg-Jerome Verde Monster, Dundee & Jerome, Shea Copper. Movies Copper, Jerome Consolidated, Jerome Copper Mining and others.
 All of these properties are either already equipped or will be equipped with mine machinery this year. The aggregate cost of this machinery will run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Consurrently with it's in stallation many additional miners will be employed to the financial ben i eft of the county as whole and of the Verde district in particular. Shannon Enters Field Notable among the mining corpora tions from outside points that acquir- ed holdings in this county last year is the Shannon Copper company, of Clifton. In early October the oom- pany mentioned took over the old Yeager copper mine and entered at once upon development work. The property is located between Prescott and Jerome and in past years was producer of high grade copper ore | largely bornite. The deal includes mine and mill machinery having Q value of about S10O,000.
 The Cypress copper holdings also again became operative in the clos ' ing days of last year. They are To- cated on Big Bug creek in the vicini- | v of the Henrietta and Butternut mines The old workings are being unwatered preparatory to the resump- tion of development work in the cop 1 per ore bodies from which a consider able tonnage was mined in former years. w. F. Burns, of Boston, Mass, i formerly a successful mine operator at Cripple Creek, is in charge of the ! property.
 Copper Dyke Will Ship
 The Copper Dyke property will start off the current year with car load shipment of high grade copper ore-about January 18th. The acre 1 7ge is located in the Big Bug district and is one of a number of promising mining propositions owned by Ed Block. of Prescott and associates. It is being worked under lease by Ore son mining men.
 Under the financial guidance of the Lucky Strike Mining company, the old Stein copper holdings near Kirk land. entered the list of active prop critics the latter part of 1916. In for mer years the group was opened to a maximum depth of 160 feet and a very promising body of copper-golo ore was discovered. High grade gold copper ores are being regularly ship ped from the Vesuvius and McMahOn mines, adjoining the Stein.
 Lone Pine Active
 Another old time mine at which Op erations were recently resumed is the Lone Pine, located about mile east of Huron. The quickening of the property was brought about through the agency of NJ. x. Andrews. a prac tical mining man who has for many years been identified with the mining industry of Yavapai county
 The copper mines of recognized value, from which shipments are regu larly made. are the Blue Bell and Dc Soto, located in the vicinity of Mayer Each produced large tonnage of cop per ore during 1916 and may be de pended upon to increase it's output tho current year. The Blue Bell and Dc Soro are being worked by the Consoli dated Arizona Smelling company, own CT of the Humboldt shelter. The Gins hampton mine. near Mayer is also pro ducing a considerable tonnage of cop
