THE ARIZONA REP ments here by corporations and indi- viduals of prominence in the country's s mining affairs That this opinion is | justified at least insofar as the Gen eral Development company is con- cerned, is evidenced by the vigor and financial success with which that cor poration has developed the estate of the Miami Copper company and other min ling holdings in various sections of North and South America. Backed by the financial resources of the Lewis hons, and under the managerial guid- ance of J. Parke Charming, one of the worlds noted mining engineers. the General Development company will doubtless place the estate of the Jerome Copper Mining company on the list of it's other successful mining en- terprises and add another dividend payer to the roster of Yavapai county's copper producers. It is the purpose of the General Develoment company to finance the Jerome Copper Mining com pany as a close corporation and to Of fer no stock to the public.
 E. A. Kastner and Homer B. King, to whose efforts in great measure is due the early financing and development of the estate of the Jerome Copper Mining company, retain a considerable interest therein, as likewise do the other members of the original board of directors, and G. N. Hoffman, secretary of the company and general manager of the E. A. Kastner Mercantile com pany It was through the agency of Messrs. Kastner and King that the Jerome Copper Mining company was 1 organized, incorporated and brought to the favorable attention of eastern cap ] italists and ultimately to the attention of the General Development company. And while the closing of the deal with 1 the last mentioned means much if nancially to them and their early asso- ciates in the enterprise. it may be ac- 1 cepted as meaning quite as much to the mining industry of Yavapai county Oatman
 OATMAN, AriZ., Aug. 12-No de-
 velOpment campaign in the district
 will be watched with keener interests
 than that about to be inaugurated by the Red Lion Mining Co., on it's property
 adjoining the producing claims of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company. Situ- ated as it is within a few hundred feet east of the Tom Reed main shaft ant
 mill, the Red Lion enjoys the advantage
 of what might be termed a strategic
 location It is bounded on three side:
 by Tom Reed property and on the third by the Telluride.
 Arrangements have now been com
 pleted for installing plant of ma.
 chinery and sinking a shaft to a depti
 of 300 feet, at which point thre,
 crosscuts will be run to explore tn
 property in every direction
 Developments on the Telluride ant
 Sunnyside continue to monopolize tn , interest of the camp. The cross cut ol the 600-foot level of the Telluride ha . encountered several stringers or mar
 row veins of quartz during the Weel
 which lead to reports that the mai i Telluride vein had been reached Bu further investigation proved the falsit of the reports. The vein should b reached within very few days how ever There are really two veins O Telluride ground where the cross GU is being advanced, the Lucky Boy an the Telluride. They form a junction a about where the ore body was locate
 so that the result of this junction ha resulted in a number of spur veins O
 stringers in the vicinity.
 The ore body on the 400-foot leve | of the Sunnyside has been explored b T drift and cross cuts and now a wing is being sunk on the most promisin | portion of the vein to open it up a greater depth. Indications point to tn : fact that the work on this level ha . been done on the top of an ore shoe , which should develop better things a
 greater depth.
 At the Adams property in the Blac
 Range section, the ore body opened u
 350 feet east from the shaft has bee
 explored by a raise above the 40O-foc
 level and winZe sunk below it. EY
 cellent values have been found in
 rich stringer of ore found along tn
 foot wall of the vein. A cross cut
 now being advanced from the drift t
 the Assure vein running parallel at tn
 western extremity of the workings, s
 feet from where the first discovery wa
 made. This is near where prospectin
 shaft was sunk for 100 feet on the vel,
 disclosing some promising values.
 Supt. E.. M. Rabb of the Tom Rec Gold Mines Co. made a trip to the Col Reef property of the company nea Danbey this week. At the 300 O-foC level, the cross cut has opened up tn vein and with it a large flow of wate which will necessitate the installatio of a powerful pumping plant befor further exploration can be prosecute, Manager A. c. Worden of the Col Ore announces that it has been decide by the directors of that company construct temporary 10 stamp mi with a cyanidation plant sufficient fc handling 50 to 75 tons of ore dail- This plant can be secured and installe at once and milling can commend within 90 days.
 While mining and milling are pro gressing with this plant, development , the entire property can proceed and the course of few months sufficier : work will have been done to determir |. intelligently the best location. capaci, | and character for a permanent mill. ! With the completion of the station Z I the seventh level of the main Unite Eastern shaft. sinking will be resume | until the eighth level is reached g, ! feet below the collar of the old sha | or 1090 feet below the top of the ne one.
 The west cross cut of the Oatma

 agement believes that the fayorab
