THE MINES OFARIZONA

vV NdsS. Ine property HdS beeH well developed and considerable high grade and milling ore exposed. The property shows the extension of some of the ore veins that have been found in some of the big mines north.
 The Copper Mountain Mines con- pany is working a force of a dozen men at the old Stoddard mine on the north end of Copper Mountain. The old mine is one of the best developed in that section with many shoots of high grade and milling ore exposed which were developed a quarter of a century ago when only rich ore could be handled
 There are increasing indications of ore in the tunnel being run by the Monte Cobre Copper company on South Copper Mountain. The tunnel has for its objective the tapping of a strong vein of copper that was followed down in a shaft for 50 feet Bisbee people are financing the development work.
 The Black Canyon company, owner of a high grade silver-lead property, five miles below Turkey, has made an nouncement of it's intention to install a Notation plant. A drift run for 800 feet on the main ore body has opened into a strong vein from eight to six teen feet wide with a milling grade of ore 800 feet long and the face of the drift still in ore. The best outcrop is about 100 feet ahead of the present drift face. About 300 feet of gold stop ing ore is above the drift. Kansas City people control the property. There are several excellent partly developed sllVer-lead properties in the same dis trict.
 Silver Strike Verified
 Groom Creek, where more activity is now prevailing than for many years past reports the striking of bonanza silver ore in the old Nevada. The veil cut into is fully 14 inches wide and carries values in the white metal of 500 ounces to the ton.
 Jerome Verde May Close Down
 Jerome Verde will close down on +be 23rd of December, unless richer ore is iound by the time the present hoisting contract with the United Verde Ex- tension expires. Arthur P. Henderson. the consulting engineer of the Jerome verde, IS authority for the statement that it would not pay to tram the malntop ore, which averages between seven and eight per cent, through Ex- tension territory to the Columbia shatt hoist it there and then haul it to the bins on the Verde Tunnel t& Smelt- CT railroad, more than mile away for haulage to the Humboldt shelter.
 We cannot see any way to make a profit by tramming the maintop ore down to the Columbia shaft so we would rather let it remai nwhere it is | than extract it at a loss" said Mr 1 Henderson. "Of course many things | may happen between now and Decem- Der 2Srd. We may find high grade ore on the maintop claim or it may be thai some arrangement may be made tc continue hoisting through the Edith shaft"
 Splendid indications are being found in the northeast and south drifts from the lO5O-foot level of the Columbia shaft. Both faces are in broken por- phyry and schist with much iron sul- phide and an occasional fleck of cop- per. Several days ago the northeast drift passed through a zone very high ly mineralized with iron suIphide Plans are now being made to intersect this showing about 300 feet below the floor of the drift with the diamond drill. There is one place in the east drift from which this can be done very easily, and there are several other spots in the workings from which the ledge can be drilled.
