Of money has been expended at different
times, in various ways on the several To-
cations; some in running tunnels; some
in sinking wines, and some in sinking
shafts that amounted to little more than
mere prospect holes. The first work Of
real permanent value undertaken on any
Of the claims. was that OF running the
old Globe tunnel, some Ave years ago;
that, owing to its great length-having
over 1000 feet TO run-the extreme hard
ness OF much Of the rock 10 be penetra-
ted, and the limited means OF the CON-
pany. was several years in reaching the
vicinity Of the ore vein. About n year
ago, however. some Of the owners, pos
sessing great faith in the ultimate de-
velopment Of a paying mine erected
Heisting works,
And commenced the sinking Of q three
compartment working shaft to more
thoroughly prospect and ascertain the
value Of their ledge. These works are
situated on the east hill side. 800 feet
below the groupings Of the ledge, which.
at that point, are quite bold and prom
inent. The main building is $500 feet
in size. built in q good substantial man
ner. with a boiler room l6xi0 and a car
penter shop 26130 feet adjoining. The
engine and other hosting machinery Is
calculated to DO Of sufficient power to
work the mine to a depth Of 800 feet.
The shaft has been sunk 10 the depth Of
400 feet, is well timbored and in fine
working condition throughout. The
pumping machinery, although not large,
Is in fino working condition, and Is
amply able to drain the shaft Of any
flow Of water that is likely to be encoun-
tered. AT the
Fourth statisn,
Or 400-foot level. a main west drift has
been driven in q distance OF 40 feet
from the shaft. most Of the way through
rock Of extreme hardness. This rock
in the face Of the drift was at the time
Of u visit to the mine, yesterday
morning. getting much softer, with evid-
ent indications OF u near approach to
tho ledge, and the tapping OF a strong
flow Of water. One hundred feet above
this il the third station drift, which was
run eastward to prospect the Arizona
ledge. This drift struck some fine
quartz with spots Of good ore, at q dis
lance Of 10 feet from the shaft, at
which point a double-working incline
winze was commenced and sunk to the
depth Of 100 feet, through very promis-
ing ledge matter. At the point where
this ledge was struck and also at the bot
tom Of the Wine, cross drifts were run
exposing some fine and extensive bodies
OF quartz, containing many spots OF
rich ore, much resemblingin appearance
the developments on the upper levels
OF the American Flat and Baltimore
Consolidated mines. Al the
second station.
Two hundred aud fifty feet from the
surface a drift has been run to connect
with the old Globe tunnel, and following
in assistance of 1000 feet from It's mouth Is
an incline raise-up $40 feet. At a dis
lance OF 100 feet from the bottom OF this
raise n drift has been run 10 feet to the
nor,hward, following the ore vein which
is here Ave to six feet in width. well de-
fined and the ore Of n good milling quail
ity. At the head OF tho raise n drift has
been run 200 feet, also following the ore
vein, the face Of which il still in fine
ore, the vein evidently widening out and
improving in both looks and quality as
the work progresses. Ninety-fiyo feet
from the mouth of this drift a Wine
Is now bsing sunk on the ore vein.
This Wine is down 40 feet. From the
head Of the incline another Wine eI-
tends a distance Of 40 feet to the level
OF an old prospecting tunnel in the
groupings Of the ledge, run in early
days. Along the sides OF the last Wine
the ore has been stopped out for some
distance ON either hand. yielding when
crushed an average OF S22 per ton. Ex-
tending upward from tho head Of the
32O-foot incline there Is already many
tons Of good milling ore in sight, and
extending down from that level the ledge
Is ms yet comparatively unprospected,
and bids fair TO greatly improve when
developed on the lower levels.
The Globe tunnel furnishes q steady
living stream Of 40 inches Of water. at |
the mouth Of which the grading is be-
ing done for the erection Of a fine 90
stamp
The main building OF which will be
52x70 feet in size with a boiler room ad-
forming 2ix3O feet. The steam power
for running the mill will DO furnished
by two "a inch boilers IL feet in length.
The engine is to have n 90 inch cylinder
andi2 inch stroke, andthe analgamating
department Is TO contain four nine feet
settlers and eight i've foot improved am-
algamating pans. The situation OF this
mill being such as TO enable them to
dump their ores directly at the batteries
without a second handling. will neces-
sarily make a vast saving in the cost Of
working. and enable the company to
work with a profit much Of the low grade
ore that would not otherwise pay. The
Superintendent Of this mine is under
the able management OF Mr.. Frank
Thayer, a thoroughly practical and efi-
cient miner. who will certainly leave
nothing within his power undone 10
