PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT
Of the Lowell and Arizona Copper
 Mining and Smelling Com pany.

Mining and Smelling comp pany. |
 Tho Lowell and Arizona company are now down with their doubie com pertinent shaft one hundred and thirty feet the shaft being fully Ii nl@red and lined. This one hundred and thirty feet
 represents about sixty days work and
 is almost phenominal considering the fact that no steam has been usrd for hoistiny the dirt.
 The Lowell and Arizona company's claims lie to the southeast of the Cop per Queen property and joining them 1 for about three thousand feet. On the south and west the Lowell and Arizona
 property is bounded by the South Bis
 bee Copper Mining company, who but recently struck an ore body on their six hundred level and in their shaft.
 The l.. & A. Co. are sinking their shaft on claim known as the Galena which claim makes better surface showing than any claim in the camp as there is ore coming to the surface in at least half a dozen places within two hundred feet of the Galens shaft. Ore was en. countered in the Galena shaft at depth of thirty feet but, as the ore dipped on an incline and the shaft was perpendic, ular, it was left behind to be taken out at a future time.
 MT. F. c. Fenner, Supt. of the Lowell and Arizona property, informs the ORE that work will be prosecuted with the utmost vi9or, and that he will begin to open up the ground with drifts as soon as the two hundred foot level is reached. The shaft will likely be put down at least six and perhaps seven hundred feet as soon as possible. Drifts will be
 started of at each hundred foot level, and, in fact, the property opened up in thoroughly miner.like and systematic manner. A large direct acting steam hoist will be on the ground in short time and all equipment added that will facilitate the speedy and economic working of the property. In converse ton with Mir. Fenner. he said:
 "While l cannot say that 1 expect an ore body in the shaft, still I shall not be at all. surprised to find one A shalt really opens up very limi ted territory, and us the ore in this district lies more in the form of deposits and chambers than it does in we'll defined veins, we might pass within a few inches of an ore body in our shaft and not know of it's existahce. It re- quires drifting and crosscutting in this district to find the ore deposits and bodies. The stock holders of the Low. ell and Arizona company are composed of shrewd up to date business men with money and brains to push this enter. price to success ul issue. We are working in business like and practical manner. Our president, Mr. Frank llancllett, looked matters up very care. fully while he was here. He is suc- cessful business man and has the conti- dence of all of his townsseoplo. He knew just what he was dolng when he bought this property"
 The Auburn group of claims has always been considered very desirabl,. property, but taking into consideration the fact that a rich company now has possession, also the fact that the South Bisbee people have ore on their 600 foot level, the Lowell and Arizona property is now considered to be a sure thing.
 The surface iudica ions are certainly most dattering on this property. Ev. erything goes to show that an immense ore body will be encountered either in or | around the Galena shaft, and 1 it ls tEe opirion of the best mining men of Bisbrce that the Lowell and Arizona property is destined to become one of the largest dividend paying mines in this district.
