THE MINING FIELD
Calumet and Arizona

The Calumet and Arizona Go. is making splendid progress above and below. Some of its richest ore is com ing from the 1850 foot level and the main shaft is down about eleven hun dred and forty feet.
 Some of the ore upon the dump is almost solid copper and as rich as has ever come out of any mine. There is no question as to the quantity, as it extends from the seven hundred to the lowest level.
 On the surface there is great deal of improvement being made and ma chinery being put in and everything gives the appearance of business.
 A gallows of steel is being set up and is nearly completed. The struc- ture is eighty feet high, the same height as that at the Copper Queen Spray shaft As soon as the gallows is completed an extensive boiler house is to be erected.
 There is a large boiler already as far as the Spray shaft of one hundred and fifty horse power high pressure that will be installed at once. This is one of the Atlas boilers of Indian apolis. Two more of this pattern will be placed on the South Bisbee prop erty (known as the Lake Superior and Pittsburg Development company as soon as they arrive.
 There is a new engine being placed in the saw mill which will make that department one of the best. Framing saws are on the way now, having been ordered for some time.
 In the ravine just south of the main workings, long ore bins are being put in. These bins are most convenient as they are situated just below the main dump.
 There is extensive provision being made for water protection. In addi- ton to what has already been done large ten thousand gallon tank has just been placed near the works. The main shaft is three compart- ment shaft The mine is thoroughly | lighted with electric lights, the drills run with air pressure and the water pumped with steam pressure. The machinery is all the best that the management can secure. l The office building is being enlarged and numerous improvements are made as fast as the growing need requires.
 The site of the Calumet and Arizona is an excellent one for a camp hay ing an altitude of $500 feet, and ev-
 erything is clean and the sanitary condition is good. The company will
 not permit any more building on the
 site as the growing condition of the
 mine requires all that space for its
 own use.
 There are about one hundred and
 fifty men working in the mine at pres
 ent.
