able to learn.
‘ They have grey eyes, light eye*
h ows, reddish brown hair, and their
skins are slightly lighter than those
of others, although not noticeably
so.” ho said. in describing their
charade: istics. “The natives made it
known that they have* never seen
white men before,” ho continued,
“and probably’ they have* not. Rut
their ancestors did see white men, pro
bably looking for a new land, who nev
er lived to get back to civilization.
“There was one little girl who pos
M-ssed the most pronounced markings
of biondness, the daughter of two
dusky natives whose hair was Mack
and who had black beady’ eyes. The
parents knew no reason for the red
di.-h hair anil grey eyes of their off
spring.”

HILLSIDES OF ORE RODIES
PRESCOTT. Ariz.. July 1— With
in a few weeks, the United Verde Min
ing company at Jerome will start its
project to steamshovel 14.0(H),000 tons
of rock off the side of a mountain in
order to expose greater copper ore
bodies that have been burning for
years from their own sulphur content.
Assistant Oeneral Manager Robert E.
Tally, says the company’s program
will provide Lr» years’ work, and that

copper ore will be transported by what
are declared to bo the most economic
al mining methods known.
The United Verde intends to tear
down the overlay of one of its larg
est ore bodies and with the waste j
dirt and rock, built a platfoim far
helow in the gulch, to accommodate
a new townsite that will adjoin the
present town of Jerome.
One of the provisions of this oper
ation is for a full size baseball dia
mond to he laid out entirely on built.
As a result of the steam shovel op
trations, large bodies of ore in what
are known as the “fire stopes" will
he exposed. Some of these fire
areas have been burning for years;
the first one started in 1K04 from the*
heat developed in a cave-in. Since
then many underground battles have
occurred between the miners and the
glowing copper sulphides, and until
1 !>0.") when the amazing system of
blowing cool air into the 1200 degree
slopes was adopted, little success at
tended their efforts.
j
Water, steam and carbon diovidc
gas have all failed to smother fires
due to the broken character of the j
rock, which permitted air to get in
and feed the fires.
