THE VERDE DISTRICT
The Verde mining district dates
back to 1877 when three prospect

now the property of the United
Verde Copper Co. Jerome is the
principal town and the two most
important mines of the district—
the United Verde and the United
Verde Extension—lie almost within
jits limits.

WORK r«,'PMnn«/»'r»n v SHAFT
WILL BE SUNK
WTNn.qT.ow, Ariz., Dec., 12 ,I7P)—
Encountering more water thar
crtuM bf1 controlled with the pres
ent equipment, at the 050-foot leve
which has been reached by it;
sh^ft. the Meteor Mountain Minin?
& Exploration Co., has temooraril]
suspended operations pending th<
renort of an engineer and the In
stallation of more powerful ma
chinery. Work will be resumed anc
the shaft sunk to the 1400-fool
level, the objective established bj
(diamond drilling as the point where
jthe imbedded mteor will be found
This information was released bj
Superintendent W. C. Georglein ai
the plant of the company to a new:
paper representative who visitec
jthe site to verify a report that the
meteor had been struck by the
: miner1*, which had been widly pub
lished. Had the report been true, i
would have constituted the mosi
valuable piece of news of the de
cade from northern Arizona, botl
from a scientific and industria
standpoint.
Scientists have differed as tc
whether the crater near the min?
ite was caused by a meteor, thougl
the weight of opinion now incline
to that belief, which #ould be def
initely settled by the discovery
i From the size of the crater, it is es
| timated that the meteor is compos
| ed of 10,000,000 tons of mineral
! bearing rock, the float from whicl
j assays gross mineral values of $7;
a ton. This denotes that the uncov
ering of the meteroic body, whei
accomplished, will be a stupendouj
industrial accomplishment.
? According to Mr. Georglein, su
perintendent in charge of the min
| bag operations, the delay is onl3
! temporary. He states that the com
pany is having the experience com
j moil to all miners and oil prospect
| ors of the state. Engineers could no:
predict the volume of water which
has proved so large that the 500
| horse power engines now in opera
tion are unable to accommodate
the pipes. The water will be pump
; ed out as waste. The delay is but ar
incident and the shutdown is beinj
utilized in overhauling and recon
ditioning the machinery.
Both miners and scientists acre?
that the discoverv of the laro-p vni.
ume of water in the Coconino s^nd
thru which the shaft is twine- snnii
throws a valuable sidelight on th?
origin of the crater, indicating tn.-,
it was caused bv an exnlosior
which was aided bv the water com
ing in contact with the gases em**n.
ating from the hot meteroic lv^v
Rings on cedar trees indicat?
that the meteor struck more thai
700 years ago., while Herd India*
traditions make the date mncl
earlier. The development of th<
mineral values, are secondary in
centives to the exploration, as sci
entists want to know the secre
that has been buried in the eartl
for centuries, and each year’s ex
ploration brings it closer to light.

who were married recently i

is said to operate a roadhouse.
