 some fame as the original locator of some of the richest ground now held by the United Verde Extension. Fame, being the only Hortion that he directly can claim in the matter, it's concession comes easily.
 Joe Dillon, now United States mar shal, was working at Jerome a. that time said Boiler yesterday. He took up piece of ground next to me and started tunnel It was very close to where the Daisy shaft of the United Verde Extension now is-the shaft through which the Extensions great wealth was opened. Neither one of us did much work on the claims. We were out of employment for few weeks because the United Verde had shut down. The Verde had only a few claims at the time. Everything abol.t Jerome except the Verde was wiie op- en to location.

We started an incline on the surface showing acd go, down about 30 feet before mining ra sumed in the camp, when we both werr back to the Verde.
