 By the Hadden-Rodee Co, stating .hat the Lake Superior 6, Pittsburg has opened an encourag. lg suiphlSe ofe body in its north ir''t irtn. Ne. 2 shaft at the 1.000--oot level. The strike was made in the tiraii, lie ola ln. This brings il about 70 feet frDin the boundary line of the Pitts saaIg X :u- iuth property. and ao1ut ,.S00 feet from the Lake Superior & Pittsburg No. 3 shaft
 The objective point Of this north drift is the shaft of the Duluth X Pittsburg The close alliance of the two properties beth of which are un- der the same directorship as the Cal umet X Arizona, make the under ground connection of the properties quite feasible. By pursuing this poll cy the various properties can be quite extensively explored by means of one shaft sunk on each, the underground connections afforcing ventilation and safety. while the business interests are enhanced rather than otherwise affected, because of the close alliance of the management
 For a long time the drift north from No. 2 shaft of the Lake Superior & Pittsburg has been driving through leached ore of the most encouraging character At 700 feet an extensive body of leached ore was encountered. April l the north drift was in 1,415 feet, and in a fine showing of leaohed ore with green carbonate stains in the bottom
 It was not an entire surprise, there fore, that the higher grade material should be discovered. But no matter what the indications the public is now educated to a point where nothing will give full satisfaction except the pay ore itself. The result of the strike, on the stock market, has been reflected more strongly on Duluth & Pittsburg than on Lake Superior & Pittsburg. Lake i Superior Pitisburg has already dem- onstrated such extensive ore bodies | that the new find is of comparative in- ! significance 10 that property But it 1 means, much to the Pittsburg Du- luth, whose development is as yet com. paratively slight.
 Proving Other Ore Bodies. The Lake Superior 6 pittsburg has l been indus1iously proving the extent of the ore bodies which were cut in the drift south from the 1000 foot lev el of the No 2 shaft. The location of these strikes has already been de scribed in detail in the Mining Ga zette. The first one was cut at point about 800 feet south of the shaft and continued for about 50 feet
 At point about 60 feet past where the ore was first encountered a winze has been sunk 35 feet deep, and is still bottomed in ore. The Winze sinking was suspended on account of water. At almost the same point crosscut to the west has been put in 20 feet, and is still in ore. This is called No 1 II crosscut. A short distance further 3 raise has i been put up to height of 65 feet, | with the ore body still showing in the | top. This was stopped on account of | bad air. Almost even with the start ing point of the raise crosscut was | opened to the east This entered l leached ore and drove through it for | 65 feet. Then it broke through into l pay ore. This is known as No. 9l cross-cut. The drift itself, after passing l through about 150 feet of high grade l ore to a point 50 feet from No. shaft, | entered lime formation and contin- | ued in it for co feet. Then it entered 1 an ore body again. This ore held out 1 for distance of 65 feet, but was more 1 broken up and lower grade than the first. The lime was entered once more and continued for the remain der of the distance, interspersed with leached ore. carbonates and ether | rsixed material.
 The south drift is now in over 1900 | feet. The objective point of this drift | which is driving from the 1,0O0-foot | level, iS to connect with a drift driv- | ing north from the 900-foot level of No. i 3 shaft The difference in altitude | of the collars of the two shafts places | the respective levels on the same hor- izontal plane. The north drift from l No shaft is ss-S in 5D0 feet, and | since the distance between the shafts I is only 2,500 feet, there remains only | 600 feet to hole through in order to | make the connections. This work, | proceeding at the rate of speed hereto l fore attained, will be accomplished in about six months. The north drift | from No. shaft is in lime mixed with leached ore.
