WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
JKHOMK. Ariz, Dec. 30. With the
S10 drift on the $00 foot level ot the
Verde Central nearly 150 feet into an
ore body that Is steadily growing
richer." preparations are being made
to sink the shaft to the 1000 foot level
without delay and explore the mine at
that depth. "
When' the strike was made on the
S0O level, those in charge' of Verde
Central development did not expect
to 'find a body of ny consequence
there. They knew that on the same
contact, 'SOO feet above, there was
no' Eomnlerclal ore, therefore the SOO
must 'be somewhere near the apex of
the mineralization persists. More
than that, the ore 1s growing richer
the' farther that 'contact between
greenstone and 'quartz porphyry " is
followed into the mountain. It' is
now admitted that the ore probably
continues along the contact indefin
itely.
