| It will soon be known if Denn Is to make a great mine This will be told on the 1900 level in all likelihood. They might have to go deeper for final determination, but that is not now considered probable. At present they are unwaterlng the 1900, task which will be finished in a matter of days, when development will go for ward rapidly. The Jerome district is probably next in advancement toward the making of important new mines. Jerome Verde is considered the near est of the properties there to reaching definite results. It has been a long time on the work, but faith is unshak- en. Gadsden- is considered to rank second to Jerome Verde in point of possibility of coming into a mine at an | early time. Those are not lacking who believe that Gadsden will be first to
 win through in the group of develop | ing properties in the Jerome district.
 In the Globe Miami district there are New Dominion, Porphyry Copper and
 several other promising properties. Reports from Porphyry Copper all agree that it has practically made mine Iron Cap, Commercial and Old 1 Dominion have established some very | important things in connection with
 rich and large ore resources at greater depth in the district than previously mined and are extending the value ot these findings. The work done in this respect in the last year has been of the highest importance. Magma has accomplished great things in the Su- perior district at depth. Other devel- opment there has gained increased favor. In the north the Kay property in the Black Canyon country is com ing forward and receiving much atten- tion. George Long, of United Eastern believes the Kay will make great copper mine and with his associates is setting about giving it the advan- tage of all the research and develop ment that money and mining intelli- gence may dictate. shannon Copper Go. in Yeager canyon is putting much money into exploration of the property it has taken under bond there and at the present time it is considered that it is in fair way of acquiring a good mine. In the Tucson country there is much intelligent endeavor and ade- Quate money going into the San Kay fer and other nearby districts. The Bush enterprises have made good and may expand materially beyond present attainments. The Freeman Reiniger interests near by, an association of very strong coal and iron interests in West Virginia and Ohio, have abun- dantly financed work which has gone into ore and is promising of opening more of a mineralized area than has yet been entered in the district. In the Patagonia and Chiricahua noun tain country there has been important engagement of new financial interests and these district may loom large be- fore a great while as producers of sil- yer with values in copper and gold. All over the state, in every mining district there is more or less new development going on, with the attendance of good promise. Back of it is earnest desire to serve the nation and it's allies with development and metal, and beyond this the belief that this is the day. ot sunshine in which to find metal for the unprecedented demand that will revelop after the war.
 Coming in Soon
 United Verde Extension smelter will very soon be handling the ores of that property, herewith making room for more custom ore treatment in the Oth- CT smelters of. the state. Ray Hercu- les should be operating its mill in a matter of days, which will mean the outpue of concentrates and the adding of this property to the list of Arizona producers. It will be good for up- wards of million pounds of new cop per the month when they get broken in. Shattuck-ATizona will soon have its mill going and herewith will lift its total output Copper Queen will not be long in coming into additional ore for shelter from Sacramento Hill, and with the erection of the mill for the handling of the bulk of the hill production will gain materially in ton mage for the shelter at Douglas. The mill foundations are now being made and the work is to rush as fast as it can be made to go. Tracks have been put down to the site near Don Luis in the Warren district and speed is the word that has won out. On the mill and the Sacramento hill development the company is putting out probably more than ten million dollars, in one way or another from which it cannot expect returns until the mill gets to going. which may he some time next year. At Jerome United Verde is un- dertaking an enterprise involving mere millions in the copper industry in the state and carrying with it an- other great steam shovel project. Re suits in increased tonnage for the smelter. where enlargemcnts are gO- ing on to meet the greater ere produc- tion. will be coming about from this steam shovel enterprise next year. It will give to the state three steam shOv- el mines, Ajo. Bisbee and Jerome. No other copper state is operating more than one steam shovel property. At Jerome and Bisbee this most modern method of mining will be hand in hand with deep mining, the deepest in the west, Butte excepted. At Humboldt Consolidated Arizona is steadily in creasing it's shelter capacity. in which if is encouraged to even greater steps than thus far provided for by the splendid findings it has made in it's mines on the deeper levels, where very much of importance has been accom-
