MINES AND MINING.
Extension People are Meeting With Success
 in Development.
A Strong and Rich Body of Ore Was Struck on Saturday in the Deepest WorRings.-StabIlity of the Enter prise Assured and the Camp Now
 the Scene of Activity and Progress.

For mining enterprise inaugura-
 ted less than year ago, that of the
 McCabe Extension will commend it.
 self favorably to the practical miner,
 first as proposition of development,
 and second, the showing below today
 in strike made on Saturday of a
 12-inch vein of copper sulphide, car
 rying gold, silver and copper, exem-
 plifies the faithfulness of the men be-
 hind the project so far as their belief
 of the past goes in the possibilities
 of the location. From nothing but a
 dense growth of scrub trees on the
 location of this property, there greets
 the visitor now scene of active life
 that only progressive mining carries
 in the field of industrial advancement.
 While it is more or less true that the famous United Verde zone has it's supporters from the Huachucas to the Mogollons, and each claim owner along that degreeof longitudeis more or less devoted to the belief that time will also link his prospect with the big mother mine of the Black Hills, the McCabe Extension, the Gladstone the Rebel, the McCabe, the Silver Belt and others, are on the other hand on a distinct Assure from that of the United Verde. In this respect many eminent mining authorities are likewise emphatic in their belief in stating that this Assure on which the above mines are, is one of the pretti- est, strongest and clearest to be seen anywhere in mining region, and is distinctly traceable for at least four miles. Certain it is that the original location-the McCabe-has been for years a wonderful mine, and why is it not just as reasonable to rate the Me Cabe Extension on the north and the Gladstone on the south, and each of the above adjoining claims, with the same regard in future possibilities as the older claim, when develop ment work progresses to depth7
 The McCabe Extension is pushing its work ahead earnestly and practi- cally. There is nothing fanciful about it; it is more on the order of a cool and deliberate undertaking. In equipment the company is also favored, considering that the project is but yet in its infancy. The main working shaft has been driven down to depth of 260 feet. where as stated above a body of ore was struck. The location area of the company consists of 5000 feet with a parallel 1900 feet of the Blind Girl lode. In the line of mechanical appliances a steam hoist of 1000 feet capacity, an electrical dynamo of 100 32-candle power light and which likewise operates the electric drills, are on the property. The hoist, blacksmith shop, company office, water storage tanks and other structures are commodious and sub- stantial. The company disburses for help monthly nearly S2,000, and from the beginning of work in May last not a shift has been missed. Twelve men are at the mine, and considering the work performed by the electric drills this feature in itself is a significant one in daily expense.
 As Manager Ling puts it, ''the sys- tematic development of the property is our aim, and depth, rather than the output of ore, is our objective point"
 Altogether the affairs of the com pany are indicative of prosperity and there is no reas on why this particular location should not be. as profitable a producer as others on that belt.
 John Farrell, an experienced man, has personal charge of the property. He was for five years foreman of the McCabe.
 Since the above was written a tele- phone message today was received at the company's office in Prescott from Mir. Farrell at the mine stating that the vein had at 4 o'clock widened to twenty-four inches; and that it was identical in character to the Me Cabe ore.
