NEWETT TELLS
 IF HISTORY IF :
 JEROME MINES
Points to Vast Ore Bodies of United Verde Extension to
 Prove Geologists Human

George A. Newett, prominent Mich igan mining man and regular visitor each spring to Arizona mining dis tricts. wrote the following for his min ing and industrial magazine, Iron Ore" following his return to IshpeLn- ing. Mich, from an inspection of various Arizona properties:
 "The history of Verde Extension is a familiar one, having been so often told. It took several years to locate it's treasure and 1t Is of record that a noted geologist advised that no Snore money be expended on it, he making this report just twenty-four hours before the bonanza deposit was struck. Geologists are just ordinary mortals and liable to err, as are oth- CTS of the human family, and while they can read things much clearer after the shafts and drifts have been extended into the rocks, they also ire quently predict geological conditions. ahead of the miner, correctly. In this particular instance several of them were greatly at fault, for which they may be excused because of the great twisting of things in that camp. For several years operations were of tAe most unsatisfactory nature being con ducted under many diSappointments and discouragements. It Is very easy to miss mine in the mountains and ! the valleys of the Jerome field, and one is never quite safe in pronounclng against any property that lies not too far from those now operating there, and that possess similar geological l characters.
 Mine Has Very Rich. Ores
 "The Verde Extension well repaid those shareholders who remained l faithful unto the end, as the stock, following the rich strike, made very rapid advances. and that will be a i valuable possession for many years is proved by the ore already blocked out and awaiting the pleasure of the own. CTS. The mine has been opened tC the 17th level, and the principal ore traction is from the 14th upward. The grade will average about II per cent
 pretty low" as described by Man ager Kingdom, but mighty fine as com pared with other orefdeposits except l ing those of the parent mine in thi. camp. These ores, like those of the older mine. are ric hin gold and sil

 about the ore on the f7th and at low
