JEROME DISTRICT PROPERTIES FIND
 RICH ORE BODIES
Green Monster Strikes Large
 Body of Low Grade After Long Search for Contact
 in Wrong Direction
Special to the Review)

past week has been one of strikes in the Jerome district, not labor but min eral Perhaps of the most general in- ] terest are the determinations made at the Green Monster. the career of which is being followed by stockhold- CTS in all parts of the United States. The striking of a body of low grade copper but of considerable size on the Cliff claim is not only cheering news to the management, but also to the thousands who have played the stock in the hopes that a mine would be developed.
 1t has been demonstrated that an area of diorite and quartz schist, 90x 90 feet in size, at depth of 400 feet. runs from IF to 2 per cent copper. A winze is now being sunk on the con- tact, in the hope that the values will increase with depth.
 Fault in Pitch
 This area of naturalization is right on the north and south contact, which was so long sought in vain through the Gorge tunnel. It was thought that east, but instead it pitches westward the contact pitched downhill into the mountains: therefore, the tun- nel intersects the contact several hun, dred feet west of where it was ex- pected.
 A humber of mining men have wis tied the Green Monster in the last few days, and all agree mat the values probably increase with depth. If they increase to more than or per cent the Green Monster has an immense ore body under the Cliff outcrop.
 Another promising showing is being developed from the 500-foot level of the Dorothy May shaft on the Revenue claim. The main west crosscut has advarced about 500 feet and is in smooth, black shistose diorite that glistens with specular iron. This diorite carries a trace of copper and about one ounce to the ton in silver. Where the water oozes out of the roof and sides of the crosscut the rock quickly turns red with iron oxide.
 A crosscut in a nOrtherly direction on the same level, which is about 150 feet out from the station, is in the same formation, but there it shows small specks of chalcocite.
 Promising Prospect
 lut OI Ol unknown width but at least 95 feet long and heavily mineralized with copper and iron sulphides, has been absolutely demonstrated on the 900- foot level at the Pittsburg-Jerome.
 Only one sample has been assayed and it ran 10 per cent in copper. No claim is made that the ledge averages anything like 10 per cent, but there is no doubt that the Pittsburgh Jerome has a showing which can easily lead to big high-grade ore body. As a prospect the property looks far better than it ever looked before.
 Make Big Payment
 It is reported that the DowissOhns have made a substantial payment in the last few days, approximating $50,- 900, toward acquiring further control of the Jerome Copper Mining com pany.
 The General Development company (the Lewissohn-Channing syndicate, holders of the Miami Copper con- pany), has been developing the Hook er-Ewing groups of the holdings of the Jerome Copper Mining company for the past six months, and it is konwn that two well-known engineers of the General Development company have recently spent several days on the property. It seems to signify that the development of the Jerome property is proving most satisfactory
 It is also reported that work on the Jerome Copper Mining company's oth- CT holdings, located between Bing- hampton, Blue Bell, Mayer district. and it is understood that from present developments shipments in carload lots averaging from 6 to per cent can be made.
 Three Deals Closed
 Three deals for copper properties in the Mayer district have recently been closed by engineers representing east ern capital and mining companies. De- tails have not yet been made public nor the identity of the buyers dis closed, but there is no doubt but that the news is authentic.
 The old Peck silver mine, famed in early days for it's production of high grade, running as high as 26.000 ounces to the ton, has passed into the hands of W. W. Williams; a mining man of Fl Paso. Tex. The dump. it is estimated. contains nearly 100000 tons containing values of 40 ounces to the ton. The plan of operation has not been made known. but 1t is the Intention to not only work the dump for the values it contains, but also to revive the mine, which is reputed' to contain an immense tonnage of low grade. which under the present price of silver can be profitably worked.
