Party of Officers and Stockholders Visit the

Among the pleasant visitors at the Blade sanctum Wednesday were: A.. C. SiebOth, of Globe, general manager of the Lake Superior & Arizona Cop per company; A. w. Kerr of Calu- met, Mich, secretary of the company above named, and w. A. Holt, of the old Dominion, Globe. These gentle men came down from the Superior mines to meet F. s. Carlton, president of the Lake Superior & Arizona com pauy, aud escort him up to Superior. He arrived here from Casa Grande on the noon stage Wednesday, MT. Carl ton is also president of the Calumet & Bisbee Mining company and the Calu- met X Cochise Mining company, both operating in the Bisbee district. Man ager Sieboth reports very satisfactory progress and results at the Superior mines, on Queen creek. Some delay has been accustomed by the unusual in- flow of water at the main shaft, which sometimes amounts to about 100 gal Ions per minute. But they are now installing d new pump which will dis charge 400 gallons per minute, and this in connection with their old pumps, will handle the water with ease. The Superior mines have shown steady i'm provement in the extent and grade of their ore bodies as development work progressed, and Manager Sieboth now feels that they have passed the chance stage and are assured of a successful future.
 Intelligence and system have char acterzed the management of these properties from the start There has been no noisy heralding of intention, but quiet, systematic aud intelligent work that produces results. This Is the kind of mine management that iuSureS success where success IS pos Sible.
 All of the officers of this company we have had the pleasure of meeting seem tO be men of aCtioD, not words, and the stockholders are fortunate in having such men to manage and direct the affairs of the company, and Pinal county Is particularly fortunate in having such men to undertake the de- yelopment and operation of mines within her border Florence Blade.
